ANDREW WHITE
HAS CLOSE CALL
Shower of Glass Falls Upon
the Diplomat as He Is
Seated in Railway Train
JUST MISSES HIS HEAD
His Silk Hat Cut Nearly in
Two by Flying Piece as
Though by a Sharp Knife

NEW YORK, April Andrew d.
White. former president of Cornell Uni
versity and ambassador to Ger
many, had a narrow escape from death
while returning to this city from New
Haven. He was severely cut, by glass
from a broken window, and only es-
capped by the narrowest margin from
losing the top Of his head. The SILK
hat which he wore was cut across as II
by a knife scarcely more than one
eighth of an inch from the top of his
head.
White had a seat in a Pullman two
cars back from the engine Near him
sat a woman and a child The train
was running at a high rate of speed
near Rye when it passed freight train
going in the opposite direction. Sud-
denly there was a crash, and a shower
of glass and bits of wood fell on White,
who had been reading. His hands and
arms were severely cut. while piece
of plate glass had cut his silk hat al
most in two. The former diplomat was
dazed by the suddenness of the crash
and is still suffering from the shock
The woman passenger sitting near by
was slightly hurt. and when the train
reached New York she was sent home
In cab.
Examination of the car showed that
something had hit the double window
opposite where White was seated. Glass
from that side apparently had been
hurled across the car with such force
that the window beside the former dip
lomat was demolished. The train was
stopped, but no cause for the accident
could be found, nor was there evidence
that anything had been thrown at the
train. Trainmen reached the conclu-
sion that a car door on the passing
freight train caused the trouble.

NEW YORK April ST wonder
what makes everybody in such a hurry

'If man comes to New York to

them they are as fine people as you can
find anywhere. but you don't meet
them on Broadway If you want to
find real Americans you must go TO
the country. New York is not an
American city"

have been living here for a year. so
guess know New York as well as
you do"
You have been quoted as having ex-
pressed surprise at the number Of men
here who carry pistols. Is II true that
so many do?"
Go into any night restaurant and
you will see the hip pocket OF every
Tom, Dick and Harry bulging with
little toy gun that he could not use
If he had to. These chaps have no
right TO carry pistols and no occasion
to either and the silly part OF II Is the
way they carry them. which proves
they don't know how to use them. II
one of them tried to pull his gun in a
scrap he would have to tear the Innings
out Of his clothes before he would get
1t out.
Anybody can see the number OF
pistols that are worn here: police know
all about them. but they don't inter
fere They have too much else to do.
Out In the West we would not let men
carry pistols as they do here. In
Dodge City If a deputy Sheriff learned
that a man had a gun he would follow
him into a saloon and make him give
Ii up. Here no one interferes."

HEAVY SHOWERS
Dam AGE FRUIT

NEWCASTLE, April 3.-No damage
by frost is reported from the Newcastle
orchards and no injury except upon
the low-lying lands is noticeable Even
the tomato plants and grape vines are
uninjured.
There will, however, be a shortage of
at least % per cent in the earlier esti-
mates of the yield. This is due to the
recent long continued rains. which de-
stroyed the pollen and blighted the
blossoms. The loss will extend to
early and midsummer peaches and to
cherries, plums and prunes. Certain
kinds of pears. grapes. oranges and
olives seem to be unaffected.

Things fairly sizzled around Judge
See wells court yesterday afternoon
during the hearing Of the suit brought
by local cigar dealers to restrain the
police from blockading their places of
business on the ground that they har-
Dor dealers in pools on horse races
II was NOT long before the argument
lost the dignity of a proceeding in a
court OF equity and developed into a
row between counsel.
District Attorney Byington, repre-
senting himself and the police in the
injunction cases, called Attorney A S.
Newburgh Of counsel for the cigar
dealers a laughing hyena." New
burgh was nearly overcome with in
dignation. but between gasps he
roared that Byington was a dirty
dog" Then the charges came in such
beWildering succession that the Judge
sat amazed until it occurred to him
that Newburgh was to blame. and he
ordered him to appear this morning to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt.
Newburgh was astonished that By
ington should not be included in the
citation, and, while profusely apollo
gizinE for his undignified conduct, he
continued TO protest that Byington was
the aggressor and should be punished.
While making his protest Newburgh
nervously masticated a handful of
rubber hands he picked up from the
desk Judge Seawell said that he had
not heard Byington say anything i'm
proper. and as a result Newburgh
must face the official wrath alone.
THE QUARREL BEGINS.
Attorney II. E Michael, from the
Office Of George d. Collins, who is as
sociated with Newburgh, was ques-
tioning Private Detective Paul @.
Smith, who, il is believed, is employed
by the Grand Jury TO get evidence
against violators of the poolselling or
dinance. when Newburgh leaned over
and, addressing Michael. said: Ask
him IL he has ever investigated the
District Attorneys office. or if he is
Just 2 plain spy for that Office"
Byington overheard the remark
and requested the court 10 instruct op-
posing counsel to keep their comments
within proper lines.

news. said Newburgh. but the reason

burgh, who was boiling with rage
Clerks and bailiff raped for order
while Byington and Newburgh kept UP
the fight. Finally Judge Seawell took
hand and informed Newburgh that
as he had forgotten to maintain prop
er decorum and had made uncalled for
remarks he must show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt.
But the District Attorney started

amusement in the efforts of the cigar
men to find out who it is that is en-
ploying Detective Smith Judge Sea-
we'll sustained objections to all ques-
uons that might compel the disclosure,
ana while 1t is generally believed that
Smith is employed by the Grand Jury,
the best the cigar men got out of him
was that he is confidential agent for

According to the evidence unearfi,s
ed by District Attorney Beach.
Holmes won Secretary Wilson's con
fidence by one master stroke. About
the time an important cotton acreage
and condition report was due. Holmes
came to the secretary's ONCE. He
appeared to be very Indignant. He
said that Southern congressmnn.
had approached him with an offcr Or
a large sum of money II he would YlYe
him advance information IN regard u
the forthcoming report. Holmes sta
ed that he had spurned the propo1i
tion, but felt It his duty to lay the
facts before the secretary. " Y
Secretary Wilson was thereupon|
convinced that Holmes was an honest
man. He so declared TO Richafi
Cheatham, secretary OF Che Southern
Cotton Growers Association, whom he
laid the charges against Holmes and
related the incident as sufficient
ground for his belief in Holiness
probity.
