PROBING TROLLEY
WRECK AT DAYTON.
MOtOrmen in fast Line" Collision
Place the Blame on
Each Other.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 3l:-ln
q prompt and vigorous way Prosecutor
George Berdine has started an inves-
LEGATION aimed to fix the responsibility
for the collision between a passenger
trolley car and a work car on the New
Brunswick and Trenton fast line, in
which about twenty persons were
more or less injured. He says he
believes the accident was caused by
~carelessness on the part of an employee
or employees of the road, and that if
he finds that to be a fact he will lay
the matter before the grand jury.
He thinks the accident was due to
some one trying to ''steal a switch.
1t is said that the work car, of which
John Stettlemeyer was motorman, had
followed from Midtown a car bound
for Trenton to switch No. |, expect
ing to reach the switch at the same
time as the other car and before the
car coming in the opposite direction
reached the switch. Motorman Wha-
len and Conductor Saultz were in
charge of the car ahead, and Whalen
says he warned Stettlemeyer not to
follow his car. Stettlemeyer is quoted
al saying that Whalen knew he was
being followed, and that before start
ing on the return trip he should have
waited for the arrival of his car. If
Wahlen had done this there would
have been no collision, Stettl emeyel
says, placing the responsibility on
Whalen.
The officials of the Trenton and New
Brunswick fast line have detectives
searching for William Stoetelmyer,
the motorman who had charge of the
work car which collided With the
express trolley
Stoetelmyer, IT. is claimed, becam
frightened after he saw the iniur e.
and debris of the wreck, and raj
away. Late last night a report wa:
told atN the Trenton office of the
g6mpany that the whereabouts of the
motorman are not known.
Stoetelmyer received an injury tC

from his Car when he saw that a col
lision could not be averted. Imme
diately after the damage had BEEF
done the motorman went across the
fields to the farm house of A lber
Messeroll, and was from there driver
to Plainsboro, where he t~elephoned
report Of the accident to the head
quarters in this city. From Plains
boro, it was believed Stoetelmyer went
to his home.
Officials of the company are of the
opinion that he went to New Bruins

Passenger Trains Crash on
Elevated in New York.
ONE MAN KILLED AND
FORTY SERIOUSLY INJURED
Crowds Of Passengers Thrown Into
Panic by Extraordinary
Accident.

New York, Dec. 19.-In one of the
most extraordinary accidents known
TO American railroading two heavily
crowded passenger trains came to-
gether on the elevated tracks of the
New York Central and Hudson rail-
road tonight near 10th street in Har-
lem. One man. j, w. Knapp. of New
Rochelle, was killed and forty per-
sons were more or less seriously in
jured.
Both of the collidlng trains were
eastbound and had left the Grand
Central station at Forty-Second street
within a few minutes of each other,
One was a Stamford local on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. which company uses the New
York Central tracks. The other train
was the Poughkeepsie Express of the
Central. Rushing along on parallel
tracks, the two trains suddenly came
together. The local was switched
from the third track onto the fourth
and in an instant the engine of the
express had crashed into the day
coach following the smoking car OF
the local.
The tracks at the point OF the COLI
sion are about thirty feet in the air.
This made the work of rescue difficult
and lent materially to the terror OF
the passengers, most of whom We're

disposed of that mater The accept
ance of the report was preceded by a
brief discussion of the restoration OF
the bond provision to the appropria-
ton bin and of the action of the house
in resenting the senate action in sepa-
rating those two questions. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Aldrlch, Spoon

ion that the senate had not contra
vened the constitutional provision re-
quiring that all revenue legislation
shall originate in the house of repre-
sentatives. The house message was
referred to the committee on finance
with instructions to report upon the

involved. Several minor bills were

St Petersburg. Dec, 19.-The Asso-
ciated Press learns authoritatively
that the advocates Of universal suf-
,-frage- had the upper hand at -Tsars-
ing assembled the emperor, who pre-
sided expressed the wish that the
representatives of the zemstvo con-
gress should first present their views
Thereupon Dmitrishipoff i'm an ex-
ceedingly earnest speech pointed out
the terrible gravity of the political sit
uation. He urged not only the theor-
etical advantage Of granting a system
of universal suffrage, but also its alb
solute necessity from tactical stand
point as the only common ground
upon which 1t would be possible for
the country to unite
on the conclusion of the speech the
emperor asked M. ShipOff bluntly
whether he regarded universal suf-
frage as necessary for the best inter-
est of the country aud the people to
which M. Shipoff replied cmphatlcally
that he did.
Baron Korff announced his CONVEX
sion to the granting of universal suf-
frage, saying that he had opposed II
in the past, but he was now convinced
that circumstances rendered 1t incvlt-
able
The greatest surprise. however. was
the speech Of Count Robrinsky, mas
ter of court, who heretofore has been
an implacable opponent of unrestrict-
ed suffrage. The Count began by con-
Tossing that two weeks ago he bellev-
ed such suffrage should never be
conceded. Now, however, while he
still regarded suffrage restricted to
the enlightened classes as the safest
for Russia, he was convinced that all
considerations must give way to a
single interest, the salvation of the
fatherland
Universal suffrage. he said, had be-
come the watchword of the people,
and in such crisis the government
must seize the psychological moment.
The speech made a great impression.
During the dinner which followed,
with Count Witte at the head of the
table, even the most reactlonary of
those present hlnted that 1t might be
necessary after all to grant universal
suffrage. 1t Is now understood that
Count Wittc. at the discussion which
will be resumed tomorrow, is deter
mined to force through universal
suffrage scheme.

UNPLEASANT CHARGES ARE N
~ MADE AGAINST THE "REBEDS'

Special to the Morning Journal.
Washington. Decy An
drews was today Informed by Chair
man Hamilton of the house commit
tee on territorieS that the Hamilton
joint-statehood bill will be reported
and passed by fhe house Immediately
after the holidays. In the meanwhile,
however, Speaker Cannon is having
an interesting time and things are not
at all brighJas far as the republican
outlook IN the house is concerned.
Behind tho scenes one band of "Reb-
els" is hot against the project to ad-
NIT Arizona and New Mexico into the
union as one state, and of this band
Representative Tawney, the new
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations is hailed as leader.
Another band is that which stands
very strongly against the pet project
of some republicans to admit Philip
pine sugar and tobacco into this coun-
try free of duty. There are about
sixty-five under the banner of the an
ti-statehood rebels and about twen-
ty-five under the standard of the su-
gar and tobacco insurgents. If these
two companies should join forces and
get busy in opposition to the party
whip. serious Inconvenience would be
caused the leaders. Consequently the
speaker and his TRUSTEES" are busy
these last days before the holiday re-
cess, telling the insurgents" that they
ought to get back into the fold. 1t is
clearly realized that the rebels by
joining with the democrats could
hamper the smooth performance OF
the legislative program In marked de-
gree.
Unpleasant charges have also been
made against the sixty-five anti-joint-
statehood rebels" A report that is
making the rounds of the capitol city
Is that an ex-governor of Arizona rep
resentlng great corporate interests has
brought undue influence to bear
against the admission Of Arizona and
New Mexico into the union. While
no specific charges are made, the
whole thing is most unsavory.

Corrupt Lobby Fighting
Adnassionof Territories
Is a National Disgrace
Corporate Interests Worth Almost a
Billion Are Represented.

New York, Dec. IA special to
the Brooklyn Eagle from Washington
says: 1t was declared today by a
United States senator that the largest
and most corrupt lobby ever brought
to Washington to defeat any legisla-
ton is here working to kill the bill
providing for the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as a single state,
along with Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory.
Senator Beveridge, chairman of the
committee on territories, who is hand
ling the statehood proposition in the
senate, believes in the truth of these
reports, and has INDUCED in very
plain talk in regard to the matter In
fact. If all he has said on the subject
were to be made public 1t would give
rise to a national scandal of vast pro-
portions.
1t is asserted by reputable senators
that a lobby Is here representing
$500. 100000 worth of mining interests
in Arizona and New Mexico and rail-
road interests to the value of more
than $100,000.000 in the same terri
tories.
The object of the men who are OPP
posing the bill is to preserve the pres
ent system of taxation in the two ter
ritories. With a change to statehood
there would be a revision of the tax
laws, and properties that now escape
with the lghtest kind of taxes would
be heavily assessed. For instance, it
is asserted by United States senator
that an Arizona mine owned by a
brother of a senator pays taxes on a
valuation of $1,000.000, whereas the
mine is worth $15O,0O0OOO, and has
more than $1,00O,000 worth of mining
machinery on the round.
The owner of this property has
boasted his income from 1t is well on
toward $1,000,0O0 a month.
