CREATE PANIC AT SEA.
-Four alleged Pickpockets Held
One SIashes First Mate.

Joseph Spiegel, Henry Shaw, Morris Reboit
and Noah Perus four alleged pickpockets,
created a panic among six hundred passengers
on the Joy Line steamer Edgemont soon after
she left Providence. r. l., for this city last Sat
urday night The four men stirred up an excit-
ing fight. in which it is alleged that Spiegel
drew large pocket knife and stabbed Michael
Condor. the first mate of the Edgemont. before
they were overpowered by the crew and taken
below to the hold, where they We're put in
chains
When the vessel arrived here yesterday morn
ing Detective Sergeants Reilly, Thorpe. Carroll
and Tinker went aboard and arrested the four
men. taking them to Police Headquarters.
The detectives at once recognized Spiegel
whose right name they say is Siegel. They also
said the man who gave his Shaw is
known TO them by another name. Perus, who
gave his age as seventeen looks no more than
a boy of ten years, and is only four feet tall
All four prisoners were placed in separate cells.
and will be arragned in court this morning.
According to Condor, whose injuries were
dressed by the ships doctor. soon after the
Edgemont got off Block Island Saturday night
and the Office for the booking of sleeping berths
was opened large crowd of passengers, mostly
women and children. had congregated intent on
securing tickets The four men adopted rush
tactics in the crowd, hustlng the passengers in
pockets!" rang out through the crowd, and sew
eral women and children were knocked down In
the rush to get out OF the way. Condor tried
TO restore order and requested Spiegel to get
back into the line of those waiting for tickets
This the signal, Condor said for an attack
on him. and before he aware of II Spiegel
had pulled OUT a large pocket knife. and raised
his arm TO strike. Condor said he grabbed
Spiegels arm. and got blow from the knife
which slit his right arm from the elbow almost
TO the wrist.
BY this time the crew had been summoned.
and the four men. who in different dtrec-
tions, caught, but not before they had put
up violent struggles in which number OF the
passengers were nearly pushed over the rails OF
the vessel.
After the men had been placed In cells at
Police Headquarters detectives were put in
adjoining compartments TO try and draw them
into confession by pretending they were in
for crooks"
The result not very satisfactory. The
police say that Spiegel told the other three
prisoners 10 stick they have nothing on you
chaps. I'm the only guy they have 1t on Tor

haustively, and if any officer or employe should
be found guilty of corrupt practices he would be
summarily dealt with.
Referring to the testimony of certain officers
that they held stocks of coal companies, and to
the inference drawn by the newspapers that ia
voritism and discrimination a large scale
had been practised for the benefit Of the COM
panies whose stocks were thus held Mr.. Cassatt
said that, while such ownership by officers in
position to exercise favortisnl, and therefore
liable to suspicion, no doubt inadvisable and
unfortunate it was not an offence in itself. if
the stocks were properly acquired and was not
contrary to the bylaws of the company; in fact,
the management had, in the earlier years Of the
company. encouraged the officers TO aid ip the
development of industries along it's lines. The
wrong. If any had been done was in tha ,-E-5 Il
favoritism. There could be no favoritism N
rates, as shippers of coal and all other freghts
were on absolute equality; all paid the full
tariff rates without rebate Mr. Cassatt made
himself personally responsible for the absolute
correctness of this statement. If there any
discrimination 1t could only he in the dstribu-
tion of empty coal cars. and. so far as he knew,
no proof had been produced that the officers
concerned had been guilty of such favoritsm.
The board would, however. also inquire care
fully into these matters and if there had been
any wrongdoing would take proper action, but it
would not sacrifice faithful and eH1c1ent oh1cers
to manufactured and mistaken public opinion.
The board would also, doubt, consider the
general question of the propriety of the owner
ship by officers and employees Of stocks of coal
and other companies using the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's lines and making regula-
tions in relation thereto. There had always been
a shortage of coal cars during periods of every
years, and in recent years this condition had
been aggravated by the great increase in the
production of coal, Notwithstanding the very
large increases the company had made TO it's
