FIX BLAME FOR WRECK.
Touerman Found CuIpabLe in Park
4Ue. Crash.

Albany, Dec. 22.-The State Board Of Railroad
Commissioners tonight announced its findings
following its investigation of the accident on
the elevated structure Of the New-York Central
and Hudson River Railroad Company near
l06th-st-, New-York, last Tuesday night in
which one man lost his life and forty other per-
sons were injured.
In the opinion Of the board, the accident was
caused by a combination Of circumstances chief
among which was the disregardtng Of the signal
and the crossing over OF train '222 Y" from
track to track g. at the volition Of Dwyer. the
towernan, on the towerman's own initiative.
The board declares that, in its opinion, no such
discretion should be exercised by men in the
tower at this point. The board also recon-
mends that all train movements should be gov
erned from a central point, where all the con-
ditions as regards the movements of trains on
the road can be and are known by the central
directing authority.
The report found no fault with the system
Of signals but in conclusion recommended that
the emergency tools in should not be so
securely fastened in the coaches as to prevent
their immediate and easy release.

Charges Of Seizure of Vessel and Robbery of

st. Johns, N. F., Dec 22.-The colonial gov
ernment, having been informed by the British
Cabinet that the Washington government had
protested against the alleged seizure of an
American herring fishing vessel and the robbery
destruction Of American nets. anchors and
other fishing gear in Bay of Islands. has denied
all the allegations, and asserts that no vessel
seized. 1t is added that. although stipen-
diary magistrate with ample powers, an in
spector Of police with squad of armed con-
stables. and the fishery cruiser Fiona with
commissioner board have been stationed at
Bay of Islands since herring fishing began, no
complaint has been lodged with any of them re-
specting any alleged disorders although they
were specially charged to protect Americans
against any possibility of lawlessness.
These officials say that If any American gear
has been lost IT due to stormy weather in
the outer waters or to the Yankee crews destroy

here is that American fishery interests, taking
advantage of the departure OF the warship La

Not Sho10m Whether Physician or
Wife Died First.

The will Of Wallace c. Andrews, who, with his
wife, burned to death in his home No. 2
East 67th-st, on April Z. 1899. and who left
property valued at over $2,O00,0GT, was upheld
in the Supreme Court by Justice Bowling yes
terday, ending long four cornered fight. In
his decision Justice Bowling says that the evil
dence in the action brought by Gamaliel st.
John, as executor of Mr.. Andrews's will, against
the heirs to the estate. does not show whether
DR.. Andrews his wife died first.
Mr. Andrews, by his will, left his wife, should
she survive him, life interest in his estate. On
her death the property was to go to an institute
founded by him in Lakeville County Ohio
known as the Andrews Institute for Girls. Should
she die before him the estate went Immediately
to the Andrews Institute.
. The questions raised before Justice Bowling
were whether Mr.. Andrews or his wife died first
and also whether the will did not violate the
provisions of the law of 1860 in such an event
This statute invalidates a will where the testa-
tor leaves wife, or wife and children. chill
dren and leaves more than half his estate to
charity.
Another question was raised as to the validity
Of the incorporation of the Andrews Institute.
Justice Bowling says that on the evidence sub
mitted to him it is impossible for him to say
whether MIR. Andrews Mrs. Andrews died
first On the point raised as to the operation
of the law of 1S6O, ne says that tne purueH "
proof is thrown on the relatives that his will
came within the provisions Of that statute. They
have not established that fact, he says, and, hav-
ing failed to do So he holds that law does not
apply in the case before him.
AS to the attack the validity of the An
drews Institute Justice Dowling holds that it
cannot be attacked in the State of New-York, as
1t is an Ohio corporation. and must therefore be
dealt with in that State and under it's laws.
The fight over the Wallace estate was among
the executor, the Andrews Institute, the Smith
sonian Institution and the relatives OF Dr. An
drews.
The executor joined issue with the attorneys
for the Andrews Institute, and the heirs took
the same line of action in the case as the Smith
sonian institution although the entire estate
presumably would have gone to the Smithsonian
institution if the bequest to the Andrews lnst-
tute had been declared illegal. 1t is probable
that if the decision had declared that the be
quest could not go to the Andrews lnsutute the
heirs would have then contested with the Smith
sonian Institution.
