liams shot and killed Michael Churchill
without malice. Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Dalton issued warrant charging
Williams with manslaughter in the third
degree yesterday afternoon.
Williamss own statement to the Coroner 8
jury was dramatically given. He broke
down several times and wept while telling
how Churchill had been killed
After stating that he was manager of the
Imperial Garden, Williams in answer tn
the question whether he wanted to make n
sworn statement about the killing of
Churchill. said:

was sitting on a chair looking north and

give it to him. He was impusive and quick
and grabbed the gun with his left hand.
We pulled. and, as he is much stronger
man than 1 am. in pulling the gun back it
exploded.
He then declared his friendship for the
dead man.
The other witnesses were: Policemen The
odore Nollmer and Cantillion, Sergeant Con-
nors, Special Officer Andrew Gordon, Pri-
vate Watchman Tim Bresnahan, Samuel r
Creveling, horseman, of No. 23lS Pine street
William McNolte. No. 1903 Pine street, and
William Fitzgerald of No. North Twenty
first street!
McNolte was the only witness who testi-
fed that he saw. the shot fired. He said
Churchill was sitting down at the time. He
said he took the pistol from some persons
hand and placed it behind the bar in the
dance hall.
Crevelng testified that he accompanied
Churchill to the City Hospital, and said
the wounded man declared that he was shot
while struggling for possession of the pistol.
He said he saw Williams and Churchill
struggling for the pistol after the shot was
clared. Churchill gave him his diamond
stud and ring to give to his brother.

FAR FROM SATISFACTORY.

The comments OF Chief Engineer Parsons OF
the Rapid Transit Commission on the condi-
tions which caused Mrs. st. Johns fatal fall
into the subway excavation at Seventy
st. are not satisfactory. The substance of the
whole thing" says Mr. Parsons, lis that people
ARE not supposed to be on the tracks between
the cross streets; and he says further, that
sufficient room for getting off the surface cars
is provided at the proper places, beyond which
people have no right; that at some points there
is no room for a pathway beside the car tracks;
that the fimsy fence under which Mrs. St John
was pushed to her death answers it's purpose as
well any which could be built, and is better
than a solid fence would be, because moving
would crush people against the latter, and
that foremen, watchmen, etc, expected to
warn pedestrians, bicycIists and others away
from unsafe places
That is an interesting statement-chiefy in
teresting because nearly every word of it is
confession that public rights have been grossly
invaded on that section Of the subway to which
it relates Who authorized a contract permit
ting such conditions to be created and indet-
nitely maintained? Some cross streets are
closed. BY what right? AS a matter of fact,
fOremen, watchmen, etc, do not always give
warning of danger. Does a discharge or a
reprimand ever follow such neglect? There was
no one to warn or help or save Mrs. st. John.
Had she no right TO be where she was? She
could not avoid being there. The car on which
she was riding had run beyond the crossing.
Was that her fault? Or was the Streetcar COM
pany wholly TO blame? 1t is not always possi-
BILE to stop a exactly opposite a crossing.
AT some points there is not space enough for n
pathway between the car tracks and the exca-
vation. says Mr. Parsons. That is quite true,
and the fact is indictment of those who
planned the job in such a manner as to permit
such a state of things. Engineering skill is
competent to secure to the public fair measure
of safety and convenience IL these places of ac-
knowledged danger in Broadway.
On the whole, the subway work has been well
conducted. On some sections it has been out
rageOusly mismanaged. One of them is the
Park Row section; another is the stretch be-
tween SiXteth-st. and One hundred-and-fOurth-
st. There were improper things done in Park
ave. and Union Square. Elm-st has long been
a notorious example Of contempt for public in
terests. We concede the difficulty Of the under
taking, but that is an excuse which must not be
pushed too far
New-York tribune., 1903-07-09
COALLNG WARSHLPS At SEA-

One of the papers presented at the last meet
ing of the Institution of Naval Architects in
England related to the need of better means
Of supplying battleshipS and cruisers with fuel
The author. f. II. L. dEyncourt, insisted that
provision for conducting that operation at sea
more effectively than is now possible was de
manded. No matter what the gun power
armOr, sailing qualities and personal equip
ment of naval vessel are, she is as helpless
as chip if she is without fuel. Something has
already been done, not only toward sending
supplies TO a fleet engaged in blockading
coast but also in equipping colliers with i'm
proved mechanism for transferring coal. Col
liers are apt to be the Slowest kind of tubs
though; and Mr.. D'Eyncourt strongly urged
the desirability of constructing special vessels
for that service and giving them such model
and such engine power that they could main
tain a speed of seventeen knots, and achieve
eighteen in emergencies He would make them
big enough. moreover, 10 carry ten thousand
tons Of coal.
In the comment which followed the reading of
Mr.. D'Eyncourt's paper emphasis was laid upon
the difficulty OF transferring coal from one
ship to another at sea, even with improved ap-
paratus, if the weather rough. Thus the
opportunity was opened for Admiral Cleveland
to point out how much easier it would be TO
handle liquid fuel than the solid article under
such circumstances. Another speaker expressed
the belief that naval vessels would ere long
use gasolene engines. Although he made no
specific reference to the gas turbine, concern
ing which great expectations are entertained
in certain quarters he may have been familiar
with the experiments being made Herewith
At any rate. the transfer OF gasoene ought to
he almost as simple matter as that Of crude
oil pumps and flexible pipes being available in
either case. As between the two petroleum is
TO be preferred on account Of safety, and the
fact that it possesses twice the heating power
of coal mas already commended ii TO favor with
naval engineers. When once the facility with
which il can be taken on board from a trans
port is carefully considered. its popularity will
be still further increased.
The principal difference of opinion which
DEVELOPED by the discussion arose over the
question whether the fast coliers which had
been recommended should be built by the gov
ernment or be taken from the merchant marine
when required. Private ship owners naturally
favored the latter course, whereas Mr.. D'Eyn-
court feared that when the emergency arose
il would take too long to adapt impressed
steamships to the new service. Whether they
carried oil or coal, it would take time 10 equip

them with storage and transfer facilities. The
speaker thought that a war might be begun
and finished before the conversion was effected.
Hence he urged the expediency of government
action along the lines indicated.
Whether not Mr.. D'Eyncourts PROPOSE
ton produces any immediate and apparent ef-
feet in mis- own country doubt the force OF
his plea will be felt both there and elsewhere
Every nation which makes the slightest pre-
tension to naval power has recognized the un-
satisfactory status Of the coaling question. IN
time of peace when the movements or fleets
can be foreseen for months and when coal
consumption is moderate, vessels need not go
far from their stations or courses TO obtain
fresh supplies. 1t is not then a great lncon-
venience to seek the shelter of a port for such
purposes On the other hand, when active duty
is required, like the blockade of Santiago, the
necessity for travelling any great distance Ior
fuel seriously impairs the efficiency Of war
ships The subject itself is not new, and MI
D'Eyncourt's plan may not be feasible; but the
fresh thought which he has excited in the
minds of naval experts can hardly fail to be
fruitful.
