ON THE RACK
Smith Asked About Death
of Sweetheart.

Rochester, N. Y, July 14.-For three
hours this afternoon Erwin Smith was
on the stand during the inquest into
the murder of Birdie" Hart. He ad-
ded various details to the statements
made by him to the district attorney
and newspaper men and in the main
stood the ordeal well although he was
inclined to eyade questioning as to
visits to the basement of the packing
house where the body of the girl was
found. He contradicted testimony Civ,
en- by other occupants Of his home
concerning his movements on various
nights.
Lor Grosheyenck, one of the men
seen by Smith at the railroad crossing,
gave an entirely different version Of
that meeting which was the last time
Birdie Hart was seen alive.
Smith positively denied any knowl-
edge of, or part in the death of the
girl

THE COAL TRAIN CREW IS UNDER ARREST

where he might find the lost cars and
apparently fearing that should he run
back after them on the same track
and collide with them, he carried his
engine with thirty cars over to the
other track on which the excursion
train was running with supposedly
clear track and went back In search
of the rest of his train He had run
back nearly two miles when he sud
denly discovered the excursion train
bearing down upon him but was able
to bring his train barely to stop
when the crash came.
Railroad officials say that Hoxie had
absolutely no right to go over to the
track upon which the accident hap
pened He knew. or should have
known that general order prohibited
this unless he was given special or
ders to the contrary.
Conductor Cooper and Engineer
Hoxie are under arrest and will be
held pending the action of the coro-
ners jury which is now making rigid
investigation into the causes of the
accident. Hoxie has thus far given
no reason for his dlsobedience of or

The scene at the seat of disaster Is
the usual one of splintered wood and
twisted iron which were once rail-

Esopus, N. Y, July 14.-The almost
simultaneous arrival of Bourke Cock
ran, August Belmont, Senator Patrick
Henry McCarren ana State Executive
Committeeman William S. Rode of
New Work, furnished the liveliest day
Judge Parker has passed since the ct.
Louis convention Messrs. Belmont,
Cochran, and Rode reached the village
on the same train shortly before noon
but each emerged from different car.
Mr. Cochran was the first TO get his
bearings
Il came up today in response to a
summons from Judge Parker" he said,
but l did not know that either Mr.
Belmont or that other gentleman"
pointing to Mr.. Rode, whose name l
do not recall were coming also, neither
had | heard of Senator McCarren's
prospective visit l haven't word to
say except that l am with Parker body
and soul, and will do anything in my
power to further his election"
Atterward Mr. Cochran said that he
would go on the stump this fall and
make more speeches than he made in
the campaign in 1896 when he boltcd
Bryan and swung full circle for Nc
Kinley and Hobart.
Asked tonight If the Tammany sit
uation was discussed during his visit
to Rosemont, he said: "Do you think
If the judge wanted to discuss that
situation of the campaign, he would
have selected me?"
Immediately after their arrival
Messrs. Belmont, cochran and RO1ie
were driven to Rosemont in Judge
Parker's wagonette where luncheon
awaited them but was deferred until
the arrival of Senator McCarren at
2:25.
The senator said he did not bring
any information of any kind with him
but hoped to carry some away. He had
not been informed, he said, that Mr..
Belmont or Representative Cochran
were to be present at the consultation
but the presence OF the Tammany
Ambassador" seemed to disconcert him
not in the least. He was also driven
to Rosemont where he passed formal
greetings with the others and sat down
to the long delayed luncheon.
The meal ended Judge Parker begged
to be excused while ne finished uD a |
bit Of work and he retired to his Office. |
Senator McCarren strolled out upon
the broad piazza fronting the Hudson, |
lit a cigar, accommodated his long |
limbs to the requirements of a very |
low chair and lost himself in con- !
temptation of the prospect. A moment
later Mr.. Belmont emerged and took !
up his position against one of the Pill
lars and began a discussion with TIE
senator.
Finally Representative Cochran came
out, walked about the lawn for me-
ment and finally spled a wee summer
house half way down the slope to the
river where he sat in solitary state
for more than half an hour. Mr.. Rode
returned to New YORK before 3 o'clock.
All the conferences were separately
held. Mr. Belmont was the first and
he talked to the nominee for thirty
Then Mr. Cochran was sent for and

'~;l.'' A REPLY TONIGHT

New York, Nov. 4.--It may be truth
fully said that no event of the present
republican campaign has excited
livclier interest among the politicians
of both parties than is manifested in
the Meeting to be held at Durland's
Riding Academy tonight under the
auspices of the West Side Republican
Club. The extraordinary interest is
due to the announcement that the
speaker of the evening will be Chair
man Cortelyou of the national repuDii-
can committee. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Cortelyou's purpose in taking the
platform at public meeting is to an
swer the charges that have been made
against him in connection with collec-
tions for the republican campaign fund.
Mr.. Cortelyou, it is said, decided to
make a public defense of his conduct
as national chairman at the earnest
solicitation of President Roosevelt,
who is understood to have been CON
siderably annoyed by the talk about
Mr.. Cortclyou's part in the collection
