REAR END COLLISION
One Man Killed and Five Others
 Were Injured.

Harrisburg, Pa.. Nov 24-One train man was killed and five others injured in a wreck on the Pennsylvania road at Thompsontown today. The wreck was caused by rear end collision be- tween two freight trains going west. The mail train leaving Harrisburg at 4:4O a. m.. ran into the wreekage and blocked four tracks which delayed traffic several hours.
 F. G. Huntzberger. of Harrisburg, freight brakeman, who had just been promoted to flagman, was killed in the collision between the freight trains. None of those injured was seriously hurt
 All of the coaches of the mail train were wrecked but no damage was done to the mail. The wreck between the two freight trains is believed to have been caused by the failure of the engineer of one train to see the rear of the other on account of the heavy fog.

DEWEY PRESIDES
Admiral Evans Report Considered By the
 General Board.

Washington, Nov 24.-,Tne general
 board has been holding Gaily sessions this week, presided over by Admiral
 Dewey, the most important subject un- der consideration being the report of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, com mander-in-chief of the North Atlantic fleet, outlining his program for the winter maneuvers in the Carribean sea. This will in general be approved by the board, certain changes of minor importance having been agreed upon. It is intended that the first squadron and the fourth division of the third squadron shall rendezvous at Hamp- ton Roads early in January and pro- ceed to the Caribbean sea, where the drills will take place. If his health permits Admiral Dewey will go south during the exercises, making the cruise probably on the Mayflower, which will

London, Nov 24.-To-day's cabinet council, which although not originally
 summoned for that purpose, had to de- eide the question of the resignation or temporary prolongation of the reten- tion of office by the Balfourian minis try, was attended by all the members with the exception of the Marquis of Salisbury, president of the board of trade. Only few score of the public gathered in the vicinity of Downing street to witness the assembling of the ministers and there was no demonstra- tion. It was regarded as a foregone conclusion that the cabinet was going

CONTEST IS ON.
Common Law and the People Are
 the Contestants.

Chicago, Nov 24.-A dispatch to the Record Herald from Omaha says: "A contest between the people and the common law, akin to the ancient con tests between the kings and the law, is now raging for the first time In his tory" asserted Roscoe Pound, dean Of the law department of the University of Nebraska, before the state bar as- socation yesterday. The title Of his paper was "The Spirit of the Common Law"
 "Nothing in the history of our com mon law is more striking than its tenncity in holding ground, z" contin- ued the speaker Hitherto the peo- ple have been with it. To-day for the first time the common law finds itself arrayed against the people instead ot securing for them what they most prize. They know it chiefly as some thing which continually stands be- tween them and what they desire.
 There is a growing popular dissat- isfaction with our legal system. There Is feeling that it prevents every thing and does nothing. In large part this dissatisfaction has a real basis and is well founded"
 Mir Pound cited decisions to show that the right of the individual to con tract as he pleases Is upheld by our legal system at the expense of the right of society to stand between a part of the people and oppression. He asserted:
 This right of the individual and this exaggerated respect for his right are common law doctrines. No amount of admiration for our tradl. tional system should blind us to the obvious fact that it exhibits too great a respect for the individual, and fol the intrenched position in which oul legal and political history has put him. and too little respect for the needs of society, when they come il conflict with the individual. to be il touch with the present age"

STILL PROBING
Brown of the Equitable First Wit.
 ness This Morning.

New York. Nov 24.-Gerald K. Brown of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society was the first witness called by the insurance investigating committee today.
 Mir Brown produced a list of the tenants of the Equitable building at 120 Broadway. Mir Hughes asked the witness If he thought the rentals were adequate. Mir Brown replied that he considered the rental of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Co was mad eduate. He also thought that the Eouitable Trust Co rental of $20,OOO a year was inadequate.
 "What would you consider a proper rental for the Equitable Trust Cor asked Mir Hughes.
 "About S30.000 a year." answered the witness.
 Mir Brown said the matter of in creasing the rent of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Co and of the Equitable Trust Co had been considered by the executive committee and that after fhe work of this investigation is fn- ished these rentals will be raised.
 Milton Madison. bookkeeper in the office of the New York Life Insurance company. testified before the commit fee this afternoon that in 1904 he re eeivef a check for $40.O00 as the profit off loan of s02O0OO to the firm of Kidder. Peabody & Co of Boston. He had the check cashed at the First Na- tionaI bank and gave the money 10 George W. Perkins. viee-president of the New York Life and member of the firm of ]. F. Morgan & Co. He did not know what Mr Perkins did with the money because no account of the transaction appeared on the books of the company. Tn 1901 J. F.

THE MARRIAGE LAW.
An odd Point Came Up for Settle.
 ment To-day.

New York, Nov. 24-An odd point of marriage law came up for decision to-day In a wife abandonment case. The question Is whether drinking a cup of tea with a woman and placing a wedding ring on her finger can be considered a legal marriage. This ceremony Is Japanese and the con tracting parties were John H. Sassa, a Japanese and an Irish girl, Jennie Sassa, who claims to be his wife and now charges him with abandonment The defense of the Jap is that he did not legally marry the woman but she says that seven years ago. in aecor- dance with what Sassa said was a Japanese wedding. they drank cur of tea apiece while a wedding ring was placed on her finger and that ever since she has believed herself to be the rightful Mrs Sassa.

TO CHANGE THE LAW.

Washington, Nov 24-Necessity for change in the law providing for sum- mary courts martial in the navy will again be urged upon congress at its next session. Considerable reform has already been accomplished by the scale of punishments which has been drawn up in the office of the judge ad- vocate general of the navy. This scale has served to guide summary courts as to the proper degree of punishment to be pronounced for minor offenses. But there is greater improvement sought, which can only be obtained by legisla- tion. namely, the creation of one-offi- cer courts for the trial of minor of lenses.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-11-24

Albany, N r., Nov 24.-The police have made little progress in their search for John Hammond, the miss ing husband of the woman whose de composing body was discovered late yesterday huddled in trunk in their fiat on South Ferry street. The au topsy on the body completed after midnight confirmed the belief that u ? woman had been strangled, and that the crime was committed nearly two weeks ago.
 |. The last definite knowledge of life in the apartments of the Hammond couple dates back to Sunday, NOvem- Der 12, when some one was heard playing the piano in their rooms. Al though the couple had frequent aid noisy quarrels, according to their neighbors, there is no recollection of any disturbance on that Sunday. On the other hand, the condition of the woman's body showed that she was severely beaten before she died, and the grip which killed her was so vio. lent that it fractured the hyoid bone at the base of the tongue.
 Since the date when the murder evl. dently was committed, Hammond has been traced first to Cohoes, his home and thence to Rouse's Point, where on the 14th he declared his intention Of going on to Montreal. Since that day his movements are unknown.
