AUTO BUMPS A COURT HOUSE.
APPELLATE DIVISIONS MARBLE
RAILING WRECKED.
william, A. MolIs Machine Bucted Al the
Madison Avenue Corner and Twice
Crashed Into the Balustrade ami Sent

Thirty Feet OF II Into the Area.
About thirty feet Of the handsome marble
balustrade around the Appellate Division
court house, at Twenty-ffth street and
Madison avenue, was carried away by an
unruly automobile yesterday afternoon.
The auto Is the property OF William A.
Mol, an advertising agent with offices
at 100 William street and home at 1852
Bergen street, Brooklyn. MIR. Mol was
driving the machine down Madison avenue
With him was his driver.
As Mol attempted to turn east into Twen-
ty-fifth street something went amiss with
the steering gear, and after whirling around
the street the auto plunged on the side
walk on the Twenty fifth street side and,
crashing into the railing. sent the marble
uprights and the heavy top slabs tumbling
to the bottom OF an areaway six feet below.
Just twenty-five feet Of the balustrade
was hurled into the areaway and broken
into small bits.
The automobile rebounded to the street
after the first collision and, despite the
efforts OF Moll scooted into Madison avenue,
waltzed around once more and then shot
against the balustrade on that side Of the
building Eight feet OF the marble railing
toppled over.
1t looked for a time az II the auto would
plunge headfrst into the areaway. How
ever, at the corner Of the balustrade was
a tall marble post that supported an cleo
trio light. When the auto hit this post
1t came to stop long enough for Mol to
shut Oh the engine. Mr.. Molls. driver
was thrown out during one Of the collisions
with the corner post, but he escaped with
a shaking up.
Ar a result OF the collisions. the front
OF the auto was smashed. The machine
il a 20 horse power affair and Mr. Moll
was taking 1t from repair establishment
uptown to his Brooklyn home.
Among those who heard the racket was
Justice Hatch, who was looking over some
papers in the court house. He hurried to
the street and found Policeman John H.
Smith Of the Tenderloin station, who was
trying hard to keep the crowd back so that
no one would fall into the unrailed areaway.
The policeman asked Justice Hatch II
he would be justified in making an arrest.
After some elaboration and much gazing
at the departed balustrade, the Judge
decided that he cop wouldn't be. However,
at the suggestion Of the Justice. the police
man led Moll to the West Thirtieth street
station so that he might properly identify
himself. Justice Hatch said that the auto
mobilist might he wanted afterward. Mr..
Moll was quite willing to do as the Judge
said. At the station he was identified by
the manager OF a big automobile firms
agency in this city. Mr.. Mol had his ma
chine taken back TO the repair shop ana
took trolley for Brooklyn.
One of the attendants in the court house
told Policeman Smith that it would cost
5000 o repair the DANA ge to the balustrade.

WHEN THE PEACE ENJOYS MEET.
President Expected to Return 10 WASH
Ing ton for the First session,

WASHINGTON. July ct is the official
opinion that the peace plenipotentiares
of Russia and Japan will be able to or
ganze in this city for business during the
first week in August 1t is assumed that
the President will come over to Washington
for the frs meeting After effecting an
organization here the plenirotentjaries
will probably embark for some point on
the North Atlantic coast to be suggested
by the President to hold their sessions dur
ing the hot weather
No one familiar with such proceedings
and knowing the peculiar situation pre-
scented between Russia and Japan predicts
an agreement earlier than October.
1t is altogether probable that at the first
meeting in Washington the Senate rea ding
room in the Congressional Library will be
placed at the disposal Of the plenipoton-

Captain SOfieId Is Not. Through
With the Matter As Yet
The Outcome.

The possible institution of damage
suit is under consideration by John 7.
Woglom and his attorney, George
Penny, of New York, against Captain
W. w. Sofield, because of the charge
of larcency brought against him, and
on which he was acquitted Thursday
at Richmond, S. l., as told in the
NEWS.
He was charged with taking a
quantity of oysters from the beds of
Captain Soield in the bay, near
Wards Point, while dredging last
February for his brother, Captain A.
I. Woglom, whose oyster. beds adjoin
those of Captain Sofeld.
The latter has a suit pending at
New Brunswick for $l.500 for the
oysters taken. A. Fl. Strong repre-
sents Sofield and Hommann & Strick-
er, Woglom.
Among the witnesses called for the
prosecution at the trial Thursday was
Theodore Ferguson, whose testimony
was intended to show that Captain
Woglcm sold to him more oysters than
could possibly have been garnered
from Captain .Woglom's beds alone.
The defense maintained that Cap
tain Woglom sold other oysters.besides
those dredged from his own grounds,
he being in the habit of buying and
selling the bivalves. Attempts to
settle the matt amicably soon after
it arose. were not success sful. as salts
factory terms could not be agreed
