TWO KILLED In SUBW AY.
ONE NAN Il SUICIDE.
Another Crushed to Death by Fall
of HeaUy Piping.

Theodore Page Of No. 65 Mercer-st., Jersey
City struck by a southbound express
train in the subway at 1Sth-st-. yester-
day. and instantly killed. From the testimony
of the motorman Of the express, who was placed
under arrest, 1t is believed that Page committed
suicide The motorman said that just after ne
passed the station he saw step out from
behind a pillar close to the train and throw him
self on the rails. The shock broke one of the
air mines. setting the brakes and halting the
train instantly
An Investigation was Immediately started by
the police TO learn what the man was doing on
the tracks and how he got there Employees at
the 1Sth-st station were unable to throw any
light on the mystery. None of the ticket sellers
or ticket choppers had seen man get down
from the platform to the tracks.
It was first believed that the man had fallen
from the rear of a southbound express train and
had been struck by another express before he
could reach a station This idea secuted
by the Interborough officials. who claimed this
could not have happened. as the guards would
not permit passengers to ride on the rear plat
fornn.
The Identification of the body made
through papers and letters found in the pockets
Of the clothing and the contents of a large wal
let. The dead man was brother of Charles T.
Page, roofer, of No. 1741a York-st., Jersey
City, who Is unable to account for the presence
of his brother In the subway.
One man was killed and another had mar
row scape last night In the subway under the
Harlem River by the topplns over of a huge
spool of cable piping. Two of these spools.
weighing 8 $50 pounds each, were being hauled
on fat cars to the Bronx. On one of the cars
sat Frederick Draper, of No. 319 West 21st-st..
end John W. Doolan. AS the train rounded the
curve at the Bronx end of the tunnel one of
the spools toppled over. crushing Draper fiat.
Doolan leaped from the car just in time to save
his life.
Theodore Page was son Of Charles T. Page,
of Jersey City, who died two weeks ago. He
was thirty-seven years old and unmarried He
is a nephew of Horace T. Farrier, wealthy
real estate owner. Pages relatives say that
he was no way embarrassed, far as they
know. and they know Of no reason why he
should have killed himself.
If it is proved that Page came to his death
through suicide it will be the first suicide in the
subway since its construction.

MAXIMUM RATES REVOKED
Restrictions On American Trade Vol
nntarily Removed by Russian Coy
ernUlcnt.

Washington, September 1.-THE
state department has not been inform
ed officially of the Russian government
in revoking ukase imposing maximum
tariff rates on certain American ar
ticles of import, principally machinery
and metal goods. Ever since last
sprig Ambassador Meyer, acting under
instructions of the department., has
been trying to secure a removal OF
these restrictions on American trade
which have been very disastrous, es-
pecially to a large and increasing
business in agricultural implements
and machinery. 1t was for a time ex-
pected that the result could be secured
by the making of another agreement
between the United States and Russia
under section 3 of the Dingley act, but
the Russian government finally con
cluded hat it would rescind the ukase
voluntarily, and without exacting a re-
turn favor.
