Fraudulently Secured.

A dispatch from New York last night
Benjamin B. Odell, jr., governor of New
York, in his suit for the recovery of money
lost in the United States Shipbuilding Com
pany, was obtained today. The complaint
deals with matters which were left unex-
posed by the compromise surrender Of
Charles NJ Schwab and others in the Sam
uel Untermyer proceedings last winter.
The Untermyer suit showed that several
millions of dollars had mysteriously dis
appeared. Governor Odell in his complaint
charges that of the $6,OOOOOO in cash that
constituent plants when they sold out to
the combination, $2.346,OO0 was wrongfully
and fraudulently obtained by the defend
ants as their secret profit.
The defendants in the suit not only in
clude Col. John ]. McCook, Alvin w.
Krech, John w. Young, the Mercantile
Trust Company, and James Il. Boothroyd,
but Charles Beatty Alexander, head Of the
great law firm of Alexander & Green.
Governor Odell states that on June 20,
1902, he subscribed to 500 600 OF the ship
building bonds on the strength of the state
ments made by various prospectuses and
the underwriting agreement. The subscrip-
ton was made through James T. Booth
royd, lawyer, employed by Alexander &
Green, who also acts as Colonel McCook' 8
secretary. Throughout the complaint Gov

FOUR KILLED AT CROSSING.
Chicago Trolley Cars Crash Into a
Railway Train.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Four people were killed another fatally
hurt and twenty-three severely injured In a
collision late this afternoon between an
express train on the Chicago Great West
ern railroad and a train of three trolley
cars bound for the Hawthorne race track.
The dead are:
Mrs Frances Kaufman, William Irving,
died in hospital after amputatiOn of leg;
Mrs. jeremiah Shuckman, Danvile. Ill,
and an unidentified woman about thirty
years of age.
Fatally injured-Michael Ryan. motorman
of trolley car, skull fractured.
The accident occurred at the crossing of
4Sth avenue and the Chicago Great West
ern tracks The train coming into the
city, and according to some witnesses of
the accident, was running at a high rate of
speed. Others and the train crew declare
that 1t was not going over twenty miles an
hour.
The trolley train, which was made up of
motor car and two trailers, in charge OF
Conductor W. II. Condor and Motorman
Michael Ryan, approached the crossing at
rapid rate just as the train came around
sharp curve to the west of the crossing.
Ryan put on the brakes with all his
strength in the effort to stop his car, but
the brakes refused to work, and with I'M
diminished speed the motor car ran upon
the tracks at the same time that the loco
motive came up. The car struck the train
Just between the engine and the tender.
The motor car was torn to splinters; the
car Immediately behind II was knocked
over. smashed nearly to pieces and drag
ged from the tracks, and but for the fact
that the couplings between II and the sec
ond trailer broke the list of injured would
probably be much larger as all of the
cars were filled with passengers

Mayor of Baltimore Determined to
Compel Use Of Conduits.

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: Mayor Timanus told local represen-
tatives of the various telephone. telegraph
and lighting companies yesterday that all
overhead wires must be taken down in tho
subway district and placed in the municipal
conduits. "Other mayors took up the over
head wire nuisance and endeavored to
abate it." declared Mr.. Timanus.
When I say a thing 1 mean It,. he
added, land 1 say right now that all over
head wires, where there are subways for
them, must come down. But 1 am going
to deal fairly and literally with the COM
panies. / shall have a conference with
Building Inspector Preston and Electrical
Engineer Phelps tomorrow, and select q
date when the wires must come down. The
companies will be notified Of this date and
given ample time in which to comply with
orders from the city. / want Ii to be dis
tinctly understood that all wires not In
the subways at the time specified in the
notice we shall send out will be taken down
by the city. In this mean exactly what
say. There must be no overhead wires
in the subway district"
Mayor Tfmanus said he fully appreciated
the position the companies were In. But
he said the wires should be underground.
and declared emphatically that he pro-
posed to enforce the subway ordinance.
He said there was no use In having sub
ways If the wires were not to be placed In
them.

Several knowing professors have

The theories elaborated by Oar

But a man might at well butt his
