STEEL DIRECTOR SUED.
August Heckscher Says William Edenborn
Wrongfuly Got 500 900 From Him.

WrOnSfQUy Got SlOOO ODD from Him.
A suit to recover 100000 from William
Edenborn. director and vice-president Of
the United States Steel Corporation. has
just come to light through an argument
before Justice Wilmot NJ Smith Of Pat
,chosue, L. l., for the purpose Of securing a
change Of venue from Suffolk to New York
county. August Heckscher, a corporation
director Of New York city, is the complain
ant Besides his personal claim, the claims
OF six other men are included in the suit.
They are Frederick H. Daniels Of Worcester,
Mass; Charles l.. Miller Of Pittsburg. T.
Edwards, c. Lott and Frank Baacker OF
Chicago; Michael Baacker Of Germany and
the late Philip Atmoere Of Worcester, Mass.
Mr.. Heckscher declares he was wrongfully
induced by Edenborn to subscribe $4,000
toward syndicate formed for the purchase
of the stock of the United States Coal and
Iron Company of Tennessee, with offices
in New York; that Edenborn used several
names as dummy subscribers to influence
Heokscher and that Edenborn was in reality
directly interested in the company. though
that fact was unknown to the complainant.
The Heckscher suit was originally begun
in the United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District. but on motion Judge
Thomas transferred the case to the New York
State Supreme Court. The change of venue
is desired by the compliments as most OF
them do business in New York and 1t would
be more convenient for them to have the
case tried here.

READY FOR FLEETS ATTACK.
Fort Monroe Prepared to DO Its Part In the
War Game.

FORT MoNRoE,Va., June ll.--At midnight
tonight Fort Monroe was dark and silent,
but it's big guns were ready for action and
every individual Of tb(ffty -one compa MES
Of Coast Artillery which man the fort was
in place ready for the expected attack of
the fleet under Admiral Dickens.
The navy and marine corps observers
and the umpires assigned to the station went
on duty early and will have little chance
for rest until the exercises are concluded
next Saturday at noon. The men who
maintain the lookout and those who are
in the range finder stations work in three
reliefs and the gunners and others in two.
The numerous searchlights flashed out
one by one shortly after midnight and the
watch for the attacking fleet was COM
rnenced. The utmost secrecy is-still be-
ing maintained There 10 no reason to be-
lieve that the land forces know the where
abouts Of the feet or anything concerning
it's plans.
II such knowledge really exists here Col
Potts, the oommandant, will not permit
the fact to be known, and all other officers
are as silent on that score as he. II the
feet does not attack before morning the
inference will probably be that it is still in
the upper waters Of the bay and that the
chances will then favor move on the de-
lenses Of Washington and Baltimore before
Fort Monroe y engaged.

lided at Forty-fourth street and Broad

car 2344, going north. slowed up to make
the crossing JUST as Broadway car $40 got

apparently, did not notice that the cars had
got SO close together.
The Broadway car hit the Seventh avenue
car slantingly. Neither car had many
people in it and those in the Broadway
car got the worst of the collision. They
were thrown against seats and banged on
the floor. Windows were broken in both
cars and the crash of glass added to the
panic Of the passengers.
Miss Sue R, Tyrrell. who lives at 900
West Forty fifth street was the worst hurt.
Her right leg was broken and her head was
cut and bruised. James Carew of 257
West Fifty-ffth street was bruised about
the arms and chest. z. W. Machet Of 100

MAY SOON ASK FOR RECOGNITION.
When Norway Makes the Request This
Government VIII Act Promptly.

WASHINGTON, June lit is expected
that the United States Government will
soon be asked to recognize Norway as a
nation. The announcement from Chris
tiania that the Foreign Office of Norway
would be established and opened by June
IS Is indicative that the time when the
United States will have to decide ia rapidly
approaching. No intimation OF desire
for recognition has reached the State De-
partment, but when it comes action will be
taken promptly. If President Roosevelt
should receive diplomatic representative
Of Norway 1t would constitute the recog-
milton Of that country as an independent
nation.
1t Is not unlikely that this Government
will agree to a request for recognition.
First. however, there must be absolute
assurances that the new Government Is
stable and we'll established. Whether or
not King Oscar recognizes Norway will
make no difference to this Government.
It'll thought here that number of European
nations will refuse to receive diplomatic
representatives from the newly formed
Government on account Of the kinship OF
King Oscar to their royal families

Chinese Issue Brought Forward.

WASHINGTON, June ll.-With President
Rooeevelts return to Washington tonight
the veil Of secrecy which has covered the
details of the peace negotiations will be lifted
a little, and it is expected that important
disclosures will be made tomorrow. 1t
has been the Presidents intention to furnish
to the public the text Of the responses from
Russia and Japan to his petition that they
enter into direct peace exchanges, and
unless there should be some unforeseen
reason to the contrary, the press will receive
verbatim copies Of the answers at the earliest
practicable moment.
Upon excellent authority. we'll acquainted
with the purposes Of the japanese Govern
ment as far as they have been determined,
It is learned that Japan is disposed to permit
Russia to make the initial suggestion Of the
place where the peace commissioners shall
meet. As was shown in a Washington
despatch printed in THE Sun to-day, Presi-
dent Roosevelt Indicated to both belliger-
ente his willingness to name the time and
place Of meeting Of the joint commission,
but he would prefer to have the principals
agree upon that question among them

DRANK IN NON.UNION SALOON!
Shocking Charge Against Men OF the
brotherhood OF Painters.

James P Archibald and l.. Sanderman
OF the District Council Of the Brotherhood
of Painters were accused yesterday at the
meeting OF the Central Federated Union
by Delegate Reichenba cher Of the Walters
Union Of going into non-union saloon
when there was union saloon at the OPP
posite corner.
Delegate Reichenbacher said that if men
OF such prominence in the labor movement
frequented non-union saloons It was a
sad commentary on the present state Of
affairs. Archibald was not present. One
of the delegates remarked that this looked
suspicious. Sandernan was there, how
ever, and made this explanation:
Il never go into non-union saloons, but
this was an exception We were with the
national officers Of the union at the time
and were going into the union saloon when
they saw the saloon opposite and remarked
that it looked nicer. They insisted on us
going there, and as a matter Of courtesy
we went.
No action was taken toward disciplining
the offenders.

Ieyded and Deaken Did So.

Henry Deaken, 10 years old. OF POO Cres-
cent street, Long Island City, was shot
and almost instantly killed yesterday morn

MAY FIGHT RYAN PLAN.
Minority stockh olders Talk Of Opposing
Equitable Trusteeship.

There may be some opposition on the
part OF the minority stockholders OF the
Equitable to the naturalization Of the So
ciety as planned by the Ryan polioyholders'
group which bought sol shares OF James
Hazen Hyde's holdings In the society.
While nothing definite has been announced,
1t was said yesterday that some action
might be taken IL Justice Maddox's de-
cision In the Franklin B. Lord suit s sus-
tanned on appeal.
Any such action would be based on the
ground that the election OF the twenty
eight Of the ffty-two directors by the
stock trustees would be violation Of the
stockholders rights. Persons speaking
for MIR. Hyde said that they had heard talk
Of such action, but that neither Mr.. Hyde
nor the policyholders composing the pur-
chasing syndicate were at all concerned
over IL.
The report that Mr.. Hyde would not be
able to make the actual transfer Of the
stock which he sold to the Ryan group
until the termination Of the trust under
which the stock has been controlled since
the death Of Henry B. Hyde was authori-
tatlvely denied yesterday. Mr. Hyde. it
was said, has already handed over the SOL
shares to Mr.. Ryan and the other members
Of the group. Whatever right Mr.. Hyde's
mother and sister had in the stock was
relinquished, as a result Of an understand
Ing betw them and Mr.. Hyde
Several more Of the Equitable's general
agents and managers arrived in town yes
terday and joined the force which has been
hanging around the Equitable Building for
two or three days trying to find out what
is going to be done for them in the matter
Of advances. The agents. it was said
yesterday, are rallying around Gage f.
Tarbell and intend to make stand to have
him retained at the head Of the depart
ment. They are going to hold a meeti ng
to-day or tomorrow and pass resolutions
asking for the retention Of Mr.. Tarbell.
The agents, 1t was said yesterday, may

resign il Mr.. Tarbell was sacrificed. Per-
sons who have been opposed to Tarbell
all through the Equitable controversy
declared last night that Mr.. Tarbell was
behind this movement on the part Of the
agents.
State Superintendent Of Insurance Francis
Hendricks will come to town to-day
and resume his examination OF the Equi'
table officers and directors. II is expected
that he will finish his work along these
lines by Tuesday. His report will probably
be made public the latter part Of the week.
