VANDERBILTS NOT MOBBED,
W. H., JR., SAYS ITALIAN MOTOR
ING STORY WAS EXAGGERATED.
Hasn't Bought a 0-Cylinder Mercedes TO
Race for the Cup, but VIII Probably
Enter With Another Car-Stork Catches
the Kronprinz wilhelm ut Her Pier.

William X. Vanderbilt, Jr., accompanied
by Mrs. Vanderbilt, returned yesterday
on board the North German Lloyd steam
ship Kronprinz Wilhelm, which reached her
pier at Hoboken at 6 o'clock.
Mr.. Vanderbilt saidt hat the report that he
had been set upon by roughs in Ponte Dara.
Italy, in February. after his automobile
had knocked down a small boy, was on
exaggeration, and that the story that he
had drawn a revolver and held the crowd
at bay was pure fiction.
Unfortunately my machine did knock
down a SINAI boy, Adolfo Bullini, who ran
In front of the car just as we were entering
the town at dusk on February %, but we
were not going fast and the little fellow
was not much hurt, " said Mr.. Vanderbilt.
MY driver stopped and We picked up the
boy. A crowd of laborers were passing,
and they gathered about us and g~esticulated,
but several policemen arrived and dispersed
them. Possibly we might nave been at
tackled but for the presence of the police
MIR. Vanderbilt was asked il it were true
that he had purchased a six cylinder Mer-
uedes in which to race for the Vanderbilt
Cup next fall.
Il have not, =" said he, though In all
probability | shall enter the race in Long
Island with another machine. 1 nave
not yet decided whether | will run the ma
chine myself or let some one else run it,"
He denied u story that the Vanderbilt
Cup had disappeared on the other side.
He said that il was safe in the possession
of the German Automobile Club of France.
A good many foreign cars would be entered
in the races on Long Island in October,
he said.
The Vanderbilts were among the last Of
the passengers to leave the pier, because a
handbag containing the keys to the fourteen
trunks was mislaid. The turbine yacht
Tarantula was awaiting them and they
went on her TO Great Neck.
On the passenger list of the Kronprinz
Wilhelm were the names Of Chevalier and
Mrs. Marconi, but the inventor of the wire
less was not on board, nor was his wife. 1t
happened that Mrs. Eugen Boross, who was
Miss Holman Of Indiana and was once en-
gagged to Marconi, was on board with her
husband. Eugen Boross, as special CON-
missioner from the Hungarian Government,

HIS FEET BRUSHED OFF.
Alleged OFFENCE Against Mr. Secor as He
Sat Mt Ease In His Club.

MINEoLA, l.. l., April s.-Horace Secor, Jr.,
a New York lawyer whose city home is
at the New York Athletic Club, and who
has offices in Nassau street, filed an action
to-day against James Dean, president of
the Freeport Club, and the other officers
and directors of the club, because he alleges
his rights as a member of the club have
been interferred with. The action will
come up in Brooklyn next Monday when
Judge Maddox will he asked to issue an
order restraining the club from taking
any action relative to MIR. Secor anti the
matter is finally disposed Of iudicially.
The club has about 200 MEMBER, Mr..
Secor occupied H room in the clubhouse,
and from It last fall some clothing was
stolen by an alleged employee of the club.
Mr.. Secor said the club should make good
his loss. The club refused to take this
view, and Mr.. Secor sued and obtained
Judgment for about 500. He decla red
tibet this aroused considerable luminosity
aga ms him, which eliminated one night in
the ibrary and billiard rooms. President
Dean of the club was formerly comma nder
Of =. S. Grant Post, g. A. R;,of New York,
and also was formerly president of Free
port village
One night President Dean entered the
library and Mr.. Secor. it is said, did not
take part in the general good evening
which was addressed to him. Mr.. Seoor,
it is said, had his feet propped up on a
table, and President Dean, it is said, brushed
them of. Mr.. Secor jumped to his feet and
followed the president into the billiard
room, where he expressed his feelings freely.
Because of this charges were preferred
against Mr.. Secor, and Mr.. Seoor protested
being tried before the board Of directors,
because, he alleged they were prejudiced
against him. The result was, he says,
that his room rent was doubled. He says
| the officers of the club are conspiring to
drive him out.

VI District AuVlsef
Said They Had No Right to DO So.
PITTsBURo. April 3.-Despite the fact
that the scale was signed for about 10000
men to go to work this morning in the
mines of the Pittsburg district, less than
1000 reported for duty. Not a mine in
the Monongahela Valley worked. The
miners at the Ellsworth mines in Washing
ton county refused to work until they see
the scale. The employees Of the Jones &
Laugblin company at the Vesta mines
say they would rather strike than work
under the agreement. The new scale is
far from satisfactory, as the men will lose
money under it instead of gain. IL calls

FEW OPERATORS ARE SIGNING.
Situation I'm indiana TO Be Discussed by
the Owners Tomorrow.

the Owners Tomorrow.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April 3.-Indiana
operators who are holding out against
the 1908 scale of wages say that the re-
ports put in circulation by the miners re-
garding the great number Of operators
who are signing the scale are misleading
and that it is not true that any operators
who mine a considerable amount Of coal,
except in Pennsylvania, have agreed or
will agree to an increase in the wage scale.
A meeting of the Indiana operators ha 6
been called for Thursday, and it is under .
stood that the situation will be discussed
with special reference to the attitude of
the Indiana miners themselves toward
the present suspension. Many OF the
operators rave reported that their men
are 30 loath to quit work that they believe
a ma iority would enter the mines at once
if they were opened to them, and it is said
that the operators will get a complete census
of this class at their meeting. Whether
these miners are ready TO leave their or
ganization is not stated. but one cause
of the unrest is said to be the fact that
non-union operators are signing the 1909
scale and their miners are at work under
conditions which mill ate against the ulti-
mate success of the suspension and SEEM
ingly with the approval Of the 'c'ioral
officers.

SCRANTON, April 3-News that came
from all sources to-day was disquieting for
the miners. That from New Y DIRK was to
the effect that their representatives and
the coal operators are not likely to agree
and that the anthracite belt again faces u
long. bitter strike,
News also came from this vicinity that the
Lackawanna company has been able to in
duoe enough men to desert the union to
start up the Bellevue mine in this city and
to continue to operate the same with a
crippled force. At the offices of the COM
pany the story about the Bellevue was
denied, but il is believed that it was Il dip
pmatic denial and that the mine is work
z ing just as the miners say it is. Their story
is to the effect that seventy-fve men we're
induced to return to work at the Bellevue
md that these men were taken in through
the Oxford n Dodge mine to avoid any
disturbances.
In Supt. Roses Office Of the Delaware and
Hudson Company it was said this morning
that two additional washeries We're opened
to-day-the Grassy Island and the Racket
4 Brook. This makes five washeries in opera
tion by the company to-day. The Ontario
and Western is operating two washeries
to-day, but no mines. With the exception
of the above and the Oxford mine, which
is at work fullhanded, the only men who
reported for work this morning we're the
engineers, firemen, pumpmen and some
Of the company hands. These were not af-
fected by the cessation order issued by
Mitchell. The Erie company is operating
several washeries to-day, but no mines.
One additional washery was opened this
morning. making the total number now
In operation eight.
Another outbreak Of violence occurred
at the Temple Iron ~oolliery at Forty Fort,
where the stable boss and the fire boss were
set upon and badly beaten. A mob then sur
rounded the colliery and threatened to
burn it. The State constabulary was sum-
.moned to the scene, and the mob, at sight
Of the uniforms, fled. The Erie company
to-day abandoned its attempt to operate its

Levi iegelberg, head of the firm of l..
Spiegelberg Il Sons. cotton %converters. at
las Greene street. died suddenly yesterday
afternoon at the Harmonic Club at 9 East
Sixtieth street, II was his custom to spend
his afternoons there. He was sitting,
about 4 O'Clock, talking with his son, William
!. Spiegelberg, who lives al the club. when
he gave a groan and fell back in his chair
~lifcless. Death was due, 1t is thought. to
heart disease. The body was taken to his
apartments at the Ansonia.
Mr.. Spiegelberg was born in Westphalia,
70 years ago, and came here with his brother
early in the '4Os. They had little money
and decided to strike for the West. In

the trip overland with his brother and
wound up in Santa Fe. The boys started
a store, and when the gold rush began
branohed out in business as wholesale
merchants
They built up an evP,ert and import
across the continent, until pretty soon they
were doing a large business and had
branches in many cities. Mr.. Spiegel-
berg was known to almost every one who
hit the trail in those days, and was a friend
of many Of the we'll known gold seekers
and Indian fighters.
He and his brother had made a fortune
by 1860, when Mr.. Spiegelberg came to
this city. He increased this by invest
ment in mining properties and was assoc
ciated with the Guggenheims. In 1873 he
started the firm Of Levi Spiegelberg 4
| Sons as a business for his sons more than
for himself. William L., Charles s.. Albert
and James Spiegelberg we're associated
with their father in the firm. He leaves

William is president. He was one of the
founders OF the Temple Emanuel. His

An odd sight is presented at the coal

where the suface has been stripped of
O whole mountain of coal. The coal can
now be mined in sunlight and without the

poets to ship thousands Of tons of coal every

About Cream separators.

1t is just as easy to handle the
separator right as 1t Is the plow, or
any other implement. Prof. Err OF
the Kansas Station lays down these
four important points:
1. The speed Of the bowl has an in
fluence on the cream. A change in
speed from one separation to another
changes the per cent. of fat of the
cream.
2. The temperature Of the milk
affects the cream. II the milk Is
warm the cream will be thicker than
if 1t is cold.
3. The amount separated per
hour is another factor. This is es-
pecially important. For, If the milk
Is unevenly fed into the bowl, the
thickness of the cream is vastly in
fluenced.
4. The amount Of water or skim
milk used to flush out the bowl will
affect the quality Of the cream.
All these things tend to show that
the separator must be handled with
care and good Judgment. 1t is diff
cult to observe all the points men,
toned, but they are so simple and
apparent that 1t would be very easy
for the needless operator to pass over
them.

Milking With Regularity,

The loss from irregularity Is no.
where more apparent than in milk
ing. Some dairynen milk a little
later on Sunday morning than
through the week. The following
test shows the folly of this practice.
A Denver dairyman delayed milking
his cows on Sunday morning for all
hour and half and the milk yield
showed a large shrinkage that even
ing and for the day. On Monday
morning and on Tuesday morning a
difference was also seen. From fifty
cows the shrinkage on Monday morn
ing was about one hundred pounds.
or an average of two pounds apiece.
That dairyman will never let his
cows go over the regular milking
time on Sunday morning again.
