BUSINESS MEN WILL
SUE ASPHALT COMPANY

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 15.-Busi-
ness men, incensed by the e~ndeavors
of the Asphalt Trust to tie up the
paving of Atlantic avenue by attack
ing upon t~echnicalities the bitulithic
contract, awarded after a fifteen-year
controversy, have devised a unique
plan of checkmating the trust. 1t is
a case of fire to fight fire.
Heretofore the trust has been the
aggressor in the field of legal action.
Now the members of the Atlantic City
Business League are preparing to as
sumo the offensive. Damage suits
against the Barber company for con-
tinued hold-up of a public improve
ment, are to be brought by merchants
who have suffered both from the ruin
of their stocks by dust and a diver
sion of trade by the unspeakable con-
dition of the avenu in bad weather.
Several suits will be instituted, but
efforts will be concentrated on one,
which, if won, would virtually mean
a victory for the others.
Merchants claim they have prece-
dents for such cases; that the city
has ordered the improvement anf
that it has twice been interfered witt
by the Asphalt Combine. They believe
they can convince a jury that they
have grounds for heavy damages.
The action of the court of appeals
at Trenton, Saturday, in setting aside
the first Atlantic avenue paving con
tract, awarded the Cleveland Trini
dad company three years ago, leaves
the field free of legal incumbrance
Action brought before the supreme
court by the Barber Company lawyers
to procure an injunction against thu
bitulithic contract, does not tie up the
having work, as reported.

CROKER WINS LIBEL
SUIT IN LONDON,
Will Accept Apology, 1t is Said,
Without Claiming Monetary
Damages In Action.

DUBLIN, Oct. 15.-Richard Gro
ker has brought the London maya
zine which he sued for libel to its
knees, and its attorney has notified
him that on Wednesday, in the Four
Courts of Dublin, the publishers will
make a full apology for what it print
ed concerning him. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Croker has agreed to accept the
apology and take no further action.
Mr.. Croker sued for $4,000, it
was stated, for alleged libelous utter
ances appearing in the mafiazine. The
defendants will pay all the costs OF
the affair and settle with Mr.. Cookers
attorneys.
The trial was looked for to with
much interest, as it promised to be
one OF the most sensational held
here in years, and would, on account
of Mr.. Cookers political past, which
would have been laid open, of inter
national importance.

THROUGH CARS TO
BE DISCONTINUED,
New Schedule on Main Line Trolley
Goes Into Effect Today
May Wait for Cutoff.

PLAINFIELD, Oct. lon and
after today the through service By
trolley between Jersey City and Tren-
ton, through this city, will be discon-
tinued. Unexpired tickets issued by
the Public Service Corporation be-
tween those points will be redeema-
BILE at the Newark Office, and those is
sued by the New Brunswick line will
be redeemable at Philadelphia.
1t is understood that the fast
line" as the Jersey City and Trenton
line is called, is to be abolished alto
gether, until such time as the short
line or "cut-off," which will ultimate
ly onnec Elizabeth and Metuchen
and so on to New Brunswick, is ready
for operation. The big cars with the
cross seats will be used for traffic
on the main line which runs from
Newark to Bound Brook. 1t is said
to be on account of the light through
travel that the change is made, for
the time of the fast line which used
to be every hour, was changed a year
ago to three-hour trips. 1T is expect
ed that the cars now in operation
over the several divisions will take
care of the through travel.
One important change is soon to
be made when the new car barn at
the loop in Dunellen is completed.
Dunellen will then become the divi-
sion headquarters which is now at
Lestield, and the Westfield trolley
buildings will be taken down. The
cars now housed at Westfield will be
taken care of at Dunellen.
So far as Plainfield is concerned,
the running time of cars will remain
the same, with fifteen minute head
way. There will be no change in the
schedule for the Motherhood or Ar
lington venue or Fourth street cars.
1t is understood that every second
car on the main line from this city
will go to Dunellen and turn back as
at present, and the Others will go to
New Brunswick, so cutting out the
change at Bound Brook. Dunellen is
chosen as a point about midway on
the line between Elizabeth and New
Brunswick.

new HORROR
AT HONG KONG
Steamer KankOW Burned and
Hundreds of Chinese Perish
Cargo of Silk Destroyed.

| HONGKONG. Oct. 1.-THE steamel
Hankow, which was burned at hcl
dock here, carried 1000 chinese pas
sengers, men, women and children
and seven Europeans and a cargo, In
GLIDING 300 bales of mating, o6o bales
of raw silk and 400 bales of waste
silk. The vessel arrived from Cantor
at 3 O'Clock in the morning and shortly
afterward her chief officer reported tc
Captain Branch that the ship was ahre
The captain directed the chief en-
gineer to turn on the water through
the fire hose. This was impossible Tor
the reason that within five minutes
after the alarm was given the Hankow
vas ablaze fore and aft. Captain
Branch then awakened the European
passengers, who rushed down the
gangway, the ladies in their night
clothes.
The crew was compelled to leave the
ship, which by this time was a verita-
BILE furnace. The Chinese steerage
passengers were thrown into Il fright
full panic. Horrifying shrieks and cries
to save their lives were heard, but it
was impossible, owing to the infam-
mable nature of the cargo. Hundreds
were burned to death. and many 9TH
erS jumped into the harbor and were
drowned.
Responding to signals from the Brit
ish cruiser Flora, the naval dock yard
dispatched contingents of engines and
assistance. The land and floating
brigades of firemen made herculean
efforts to ex~tinguish the flames, which
leaped to a height of over sixty feet.
The British steamer Pow An had a
narrow escape. A %neighboring pier, a
hundred yards distant, was burned to
the waters edge. Governor Nathan
arrived at the scene and suggested
scuttling the ship, but this was found
to be impracticable.
The fire was brought under control
at 6 O'Clock Il. M, at which time only
the shell and hull of the Hankow re-
manned. The gtewsome work of re-
covering the dead was then begun.
The fire fighters have already recov-
cred seventy-five corpses. Many OF
them were huddled together and only
singed, while others were incinerated
beyond recognition. OF the cargo 20(
bales of raw silk were saved, but badly
damaged by water. The remainder
was totally destroyed.
There are many theories as to the
cause of the fire. The first is that the
fire was caused by the overturning OF
the lantern of a Chinese boarding
house runner, who came aboard seek
ing customers. The second was tina
an opium smoker accidentally set fire
to mating. The third is that it was
caused by the crossing of electric wires
A fourth theory and one that is consid
cred the most probable is that the fire
was incendiary and was an outgrowth
Of a boycott against British river boats
A majority of the victims were wo.
men. The company owning the Han
kow lost three other steamers during
the recent typhoon.
