Thompson plant of the Carnegie Steel

resumed operations in full after a sus-
nensinn of several daYs.

New York, Nov. 2.-Fourteen solid

100000 is the outcome of an alleged
drunken freak which resulted in a fire
at Coney Island yesterday.
Frank Connolly, 27 years of age, and
Peter Skelly, SO years of age, former
walters in the Albatross hotel at
Sheepshead walk and the Bowery, are
locked up charged with arson on the
strength of a statement made by Bar

hotel at the island. Wolf says that on
Friday night Connolly and Skelly in
We're getting dull on the island and
they believed they would liven the place
up with fire. Wolf says he saw them
start a fire which he put out.
Again yesterdya, he asserts, they
started a second fire, but he arrived
just as the flames shot up and was
unable to control them as he had done
on Friday and he gave the alarm. When
he saw bis own place go up like tinder
and heard that his brother-in-law,
Albert Rubin. had his skull fractured
by leaping from a window to save him
self he told the police of Connolly and
Skell|.
The story of the alleged incendiarism
was all over the island while the flames
were at their height and feeling against

there is d great scarcity of food on the
island and hundreds are suffering for

DIPHTHERIA SPREADS.
Board of Health Pays Little At
tention to Safeguards.

Donald Pattison, the 12-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Pattison, was
taken sick with diphtheria Friday, and
is now in the contagious disease ward
of Christ hospital. Mr.. and Mrs Pat
tison and their daughter Eloise have
all left the Copeland hotel. where they
live, and have gone into quarantine
with Donald at the hospital. They will
stay there until the boy is released
Donald Pattison attended Harrison
school. and it is likely that the school
will be closed and furnigated as soon
as City Physician Storrs gets around
to it. Although this ease was taken to
the hospital last Friday, Supt David
son of the city schools had received no
report of 1t up to noon today. and did
not know of the case until informed by
a reporter for the State Journal He
stated that the report might have
come in this morning without his
knowledge. but even if it did, the city
physician has been guilty of a delay of
almost three days in making a report
of the case. Storrs' secret service sys-
tenn of controlling" epidemics seems
to consist in allowing every case of
contagion all possible facilities to
s3ra21-
Superintendent Davidson stated this
morning that there are now good
many more cases of diphtheria than
there were two weeks ago, so far as
he has been able to discover from the
information obtained from the city ply
furnigator had Douglass school in hand
giving it the forma1dehyde treatment
for a case of diphtheria which had been
discovered, through some accident of
the health department.
There are said to be a large number
of cases scattered over town. Superin-
tendent Davidson said this morn
ing:
TT seems that the cases reported are
sporadic; they are not confined to any
particular locality. We have them from
all parts of town..
This would indicate that there is a
general tendency toward diphtheria
which warrants some sort of activity on
the part of the city physician If he
puFsaes a policy of neglect and SEEM
ing contempt, he will have the same re-
suit which was pronounced last spring
and summer in the case of measles, when
the town suffered a more severe epi-
demic of the disease than ever before

iberia is more prevalent than usual

HUGE SWINDLE.
Sensational Allegations Regard
ing the Shipbuilding Trust.

New York, Nov 2.-Sensational allie
CATIONS of willful misstatements, ,falsifi-
cation, swindling and fraud in the or
ganization and fiotation of the United
States Shipbuilding company, of at
tempts to mislead and deceive the in
vesting public by erroneous prospectus
statements, and of deliberate plan to
wreck the company by Withholding the
pany, are contained in the report of
Receiver James Smith, Jr., of the
United States Shipbuilding company,
made public here today
The report concludes with the recon-
mendation that suit be brought against
all persons who received stock of the
company without paying out full value
therefor, including the promoters of the
consolidation, the vendors of the con-
stituent plants, and Charles M. Schwab,
to recover from them such amount as
necessary to pay the debts of the COM
pany in full.
Receiver Smith also recommends the
sale of the Crescent Shipyard plant in
New Jersey and the Harlan & Hollings-
worth plant at Wilmington, Del, sub
sidiary plants not now in operation, to
avoid further loss by depreciation, and
the enforcement of a receivership for
the Bethlehem Steel company to insure
lehem stock held by the United States
Shipbuilding company.
In the words of the report the organi
zation of the company is characterized
as an artistic swindle,'' Receiver Smith
stating that the value of the plants,
their earnings and working capital CIV
en- in alleged thorough reports of expert
accountants, vary so much from actual
figures las to impel the belief that the
figures were willfully misstated," that it
is extremely doubtful if such account
ants reports were submitted at the or
ganization of the company; that the
organization was effected by dummy
stockholders, directors and officers; that

ing company paid to stock and bonds

the receiver terms is-to a few persons,
and that. so far as the Bethlehem Steel
company is concerned, s'its earnings
have been withheld in a deliberate at
tempt to wreck the United States Ship
building company"
The report deals fully with the name
of Charles M Schwab, and the nature of
the Bethlehem transaction, says Mr..
Smith, is such as ito justify him (Mr.
Schwab) in saying that he did not sell
the bethlehem Steel company, but took
over the United States Shipbuilding
conpany. the directors of that COM

THEY ARE STILL WAITING.
Commissioners Think the Price of
Iron Will Surely Drop.

The county commissioners are waiting
for the price of iron to drop in hopes
that the Kansas river bridges can be
built cheaper in a few months than
now
County Commissioner Sterne is
watching the iron market. He reported
to the commissioners today that pig
iron was quoted at $40 a ton at the
furnace and that bridge iron is quoted
at $50 ton. The commissioners ex-
pect the price of bridge iron to fail. The
McLouth Bridge company has submit
ted a proposition to build the bridges
for four cents a pound for the material
and II per cent of the cost OF the
bridges for construction. The commits
sioners declined the offer.

WAR IN SPRING.
1t Is Considered Certain Be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey.

London, Nov. IN. Tzol1off the new
Bulgarian diplomatic agent who has
just arrived here, regards war between
Turkey and Bulgaria as being practical
ly inevitable in the coming spring. In
an outspOken interview he declares
there is not the slightest real improve
ment in the situation in Macedonia, that
the Austro-Russian reform scheme is
futile and that the strain on the prin-
cipality's resources, arising from the
necessity of supporting 100000 refugees
Bulgaria will be forced to have recourse
to war The Bulgarian agent further
declares that trade with Bulgaria has
absolutely ceased and adds that the
European banks have stopped the credit
of the Bulgarian banks, which in turn
have stopped the credit of the Bulgar-
ian people. This economic crisis the
agent continues. will be hundred fold
worse next year and in itself must pro-
woke war;
