Trial for Killing.


NEWARK, N. j., September AT the
trial Of the officials of the North Jersey
Street Railway Company, accused Of man
slaughter in connection with the Clifton
avenue grade crossing accident, Frederick
Evans. former secretary of Vice President
Hobart. and now secretary of the Public
Service Corporation, was called upon to
produce the books containing the bylaws
of the North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany.
From this the prosecutor read selected
sections on the duties of directors and off,
cials showing how the various duties are
delegated from one to another but they all
are responsible for the carrying out of the
rules Of the company.
After Prosecutor Riker had finished read
ing extracts from the bylaws of the COM
pany, he told the Witness Mr.. Evans to
refer to the companys books for the year
preceding the date of the accident and tell
who were present at the several meetings
of the executive committee of the board
of directors.
An investigation of the books showed that
the members of the committee under indict-
ment were at nearly all the meetings.
Mr.. Riker then offered the minute books
of the executive committee in evidence. He
said that there were portions of the minutes
that he wished to read later, but that he
would have to have time to go carefully
through the minutes. The books were ad-
mitted in evidence.

SHE MUST GO.
Incumbent Of Delaware Post Office is
Obnoxious to Senator Alice.

Incumbent of Delaware Post Office is
Obnoxious to Senator Alice.
There was a very indignant little woman
from Greenwood, Del. in the Office of Post
master General Fayne yesterday afternoon.
She was Miss Huldah B. Todd, postmistress
of that town.
Miss Todd was accompanied by United
States Senator l.. H. Ball. Robert A Hous-
ton. collector of the port. and her brother.
They came here to protest against the re-
moval of Miss Todd from her place as post
mistress. AS Miss Todd had served faith
fully during the five years she was in office
she thought she should not be removed.
The removal, 1t is understood, was because
she was not to the liking of Senator Alice
of Delaware. who is generally known as
Addcks' choice for the senatorship.
1t Is stated that Miss Todd was told by
Postmaster General Payne that she was
particularly and personally obnoxious to
Senator Alice
Miss Todd wanted to know whether the
Postmaster General thought that was suf-
hctent reason to remove her when there
were no charges preferred against her.
Under the circumstances" replied the
Postmaster General, Il think the reason
sufficient"
Miss Todd left the department building
in very ill-humor upon seeing that SEN
ator was able by a mere suggestion to have
her removed from her place.

CAPT. LYON ExoNERATED.
Ledge on Which the Olympia Ran Was
Uncharted

The report of the court of inquiry ap-
pointed by Rear Admiral Barker, COM

vestigate and fix the responsibility for the
grounding of the cruiser Olympia on Stare
ledge. Casco bay, Me-. on the 26th ultimo.

is a complete exoneration of Capt. Henry
w. Lyon. commanding the Olympia and
the other officers of the vessel, the ground
ing having been an unavoidable accident.
1t was shown that although the chart
gave clear water, soundings and bearings
were taken and nothing was omitted in
the way of insuring the safety Of the ves-
sci. When the Olympia was fast on the
ledge bearings were taken which accurately
established her position. The chart showed
that at this place there was between thirty
six and forty-two feet of water, when,
as a matter of fact. there was less than
twenty-five feet. The projecting fiange of
the ledge upon which the Olympia struck
did not appear on the chart

WILMINGTON, Del, September 2.-The
removal by Postmaster General Payne of
Miss Huldah Todd, postmistress at Green
wood. Sussex county, because she was per-
sonally and particularly obnoxious to Sena-
tor Alice" will form an important issue in
the Delaware campaign of next year, when,
in addition to electing governor and other
state officers, legislature will be chosen
that will elect successor to United States
Senator L. Hesler Ball.
1t was announced today that the friends
of Miss Todd, who include Senator Ball and
the leaders of the anti-Addicks republicans,
will carry her case TO President Roosevelt.
Want Presidents Views.
They desire to know whether the Presi-
dent approves of her summary removal.
There are occupants of other Sussex county
post offices who are likewise obnoxious to
Senator Aliee.' and if this peculiar ground
Of removal receives the sanction of the
President. it is expected that they also will
soon be compelled to vacate their offices in
favor of union republicans.
The real cause of Miss Todds removal. it
is believed, is the fact that her male rela-
tives are all active regular republicans who
have opposed Addicks ever since he took
hand in the politics of this state.
Election Clerk Deposed.
The union republican members of the VIII
mington department Of elections today de-
posed Jonathan b. Roberts from the clerk
ship of the department and elected former
Representative James w. Robertson to the
vacancy.
The latter was regular republican when
he supported Addicks for senator and at
the last election was the union republican
candidate for state senator, but was de-
feated

BOATS IN READINESS

Sir Thomas Upton Puts at Rest Some
Silly Rumors Regarding
Shamrock III.

NEW YORK, September 2.-Today's at

ca S cup series was but repetition oI yes
terday's fiuke. and the suspense is pro-
longed still another day.
Under far less favorable conditions than
prevailed yesterday morning the yachts
today went out to the starting line under
tow.
Added to the annoyance OF no wind was
a heavy fog. The yachts hung about the
lightship. They did not drop their lows and
their sails hung limp from the rigging.
Like yesterday, the boats waited Until
after midday and then the race was declar-
ed off. The yachts were then towed back
to the Hook. and the few excursionists re-
turned to the city.
There will be race tomorrow.
There seemed less chance at dawn today
for race between the Reliance and Sham
rock III than on any day since the yachts
first met off Sandy Hook two weeks ago
tomorrow.
The wind was absolutely without life and
a dull haze overshadowed the course
Nevertheless the crews of the yachts began
to prepare the boats for a possible fray.

gray of the morning a breeze fit for racing.

shore view of the yachts half mile
away. At the same hour there was a slight
increase in the wind and slight shift.
1t got over to the north and then moved
slightly east to a point from which the
hurricane came the other day. 1t increased
to three miles, but blew fitfully and not
steadily enough to clear the atmosphere.
Boats Raise Mainsail
Shamrock raised her mainsail and sent up
her club topsail and was fully ready to take
her tow, while the Reliance followed suit a
few minutes afterward.
Both the boat owners expressed them
selves as skeptical of any results during
the day, but Mr.. Iselin pointed out that
they had until l o'clock to wait for
breeze
The racers were all ready at 9:1O to take
a tow out to the starting line but did not
begin to move, waiting to II the COM
mittee boat would stop on its way down.
Shortly after o'clock, with no commit
tee boat in sight, Reliance took line from
her tender and started out of the Hook for
the lightship. She was under mainsail and
club topsail and with jib and staysail in
stops. Shamrock took a line from the
Cruizer few minutes later and started for
her rival.
Lost to View in the Mist.
Ten minutes after the two yachts rounded
the point of the Hook they were lost to
view in the mist
