 crowds of Russians and PoIes waited around the station all day waiting Tor news from woodville. and when late Tn inc afternoon a train came Tn bearing the thirty-eight injured persons. all ot whom were taken to Mercy Hospital For treatment, it was with the greateSt aiflcuIfy that police were able to open way for the wounded. Several Of the xorcigners became so excited they at- tempted to attack station attaches whose uniforms led them to believe they were employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
 Among the wounded whos were brought to the station was Mrs. Anna CShyxa, who had come from warsaw to meet her, husband. who has been working here for six months. Mrs tshyxa is blind and her husband rec 0gnized her as she. was being carried through the crowd by two policemen.
 Before the officers could stop him, he fell across the stretcher, carrying 1t to fhe ground. and kissing his wife re- peatsdfy She recognized hIs voice, and fhey clung to each other so des- perateiy that 1t required the enorts or both policemen to force them apart. l.hyza struggled so fiercely that 1t was necessary to place him under arrest. He was released after being taken out or the station.
 Others whose relatives were among the injured, begged to be allowed to take theim to their homes, but the po- lice were inexorable and all the injured were taken to the hospital, where, 1t is believed, they will receive better care than their friends may be able to give them.
 At the hospital tonight it was said that it would for some time be impcs- slbie to predict the result in the cases uf several of the injured.

II was alleged that the company was
insolvent and permitted Lafayette c. Fer

The business was started in 1880 by the
Arm Of Brown a Fleming, who were sue
ceeded by the Brown and Fleming Con-
tracing Company, which was incorporated
on July 20, 1908, with a capital stock OF
$3.50 900, under New York laws.
Charles A. Brown became president, Louis
D. Beck treasurer and Harry Miller secre-
tary. A statement Of the company's finap-
oial condition on January 1, 1904, showed
assets 81 800, 500 and liabilities s419 ,644.
The company did a very large business,
but Bradstreets took away It's rating in
April last. Both the company and the
Arm ave had big contracts, which included
concrete walls along the river front and
docks for the city, work for railroad com
panies and work for the United States

Tells Bronx Voters That some Things Don't
JIDe with Public Interests.
Herbert w. Parsons, chairman Of the
Republican county committee. was the
principal speaker at a meeting in the new
Thirty-fourth Assembly district last night.
The meeting was held at Crotona Casino,
I6ath street and Boston post road, under
the auspices Of the Pioneer Republican
Club. This club is backing Headley NJ.
Greene in a fight for leadership against
Henry Huneicke.
1t is asserted by the Greene faction that
Huneicke is not an enrolled member Of
the party and that he is working under
the dictation of Excise Commissioners Ed
ward Healey, a Tammany man.
The arrival of Mr.. Parsons was beralded
by a fife and drum corps playing Yankee
Doodle There were prolonged cheers
when Mr.. Parsons was introduced. He
said that the object Of his visit was to talk
Of matters pertaining to the fight in the
Thirty-fourth. He predicted victory for
Mr.. Greene. Then he said:
We have strap hangers on the cars in Man
haitian. but they are nothing to the strap
hangers that / see on the cars in The Bronx.
II you want Increased car facilities from the
Union Railway Company think Of the irony
Of the situation II your Republican organiza-
ton Ia an asset OF the interests whose money
is in the strap hangers. II Mr.. Quigg wishes
to act as lobbyist for those special interests
no one will deny him the privilege. What
we object to Is that with that employment
he should be in a party position which in a
case of conflict between the special interests
and the public interests would identify the
party with these special interests.
Mr.. Quigg says that it was notorious that
! was in Albany last winter lobbying for a
special interest. I cannot imagine what
he refers TO unless bis assertion il a play
on words. and by special interest he means
that I fought for ny plan OF reapportion-
ment and against his plan. That charge
] admit. | did fight for my plan because
IL was a plan in the interest OF the Republican
party on election day. and his plan was a
primary day plan. l was unwilling while
county chairman to sit supinely back and
let a plan which I knew was made up for
personal reasons be enacted into a law when
a plan more just to the party had been de-
vised. Both plans were submitted to a Re-
Legislature. The Republican Sem
ators. by an overwhelming majority. selected
my plan, and in the Assembly caucus there
was not a vote against my plan or for Quigge
plan.
The very money that is being used against
us comes from the special interests Mr.. ouiRR
represents. His source Of supply is a Demo-
cratic bank account.
Mr.. Parsons was frequently interrupted
by applause. Mr.. Greene made a half an
hours speech.

BENNET DECIDES TO RUN.

First Says He'll Resign, Then Announces
That He'll Stick II Out.
ThSz Republicans part sof The new Nine
teenth Assembly district Eas The hottest
place in town yesterday, following an
exciting meeting at the district headquarters
800 West nth street, on Thursday night
when Congressman William s. Bennett, the
temporary leader, expressed his desire to
retire and suggested that Alexander
Brough, who was chairman OF the district
campaign committee last fall, be chosen,
as permanent leader. The meeting finally
broke up without any scti on for the reason
it was freely said yesterday, that many
Of the election district captains thought
they saw the hand Of the Odell-Quigg-
Gruber combine in the move.
Congressman Bennett was importuned all
day yesterday TO hold onto the job. He
said late in the afternoon that he would
call a meeting to select Q leader on Monday
night and hoped TO see Brough chosen.
He was kept on the jump in the next three
hours receiving visi tors and answering
telephone calls, and finally CAV out a
statement, winding up:
After learning from persons in the dis
trict that they wanted me to remain, J con-
cluded to stand again for the leadership
and give up my personal ~inclinations to
resign the leadership
One story yesterday was that Mr.. Bennett
wanted to get out because, being a friend
Of Gr,iber. he didn't wish to seem I'M
grateful and line up for Parsons, as his con-
science dictated. There was a strong
suspicion, that Gruber, who is eK-leader
of a part Of the new district, was demanding
his pound of flesh, and that II Brough were
chosen the universal sentiment Of the dis
trict wouldn't prevent the new leader from
lining up with Quigg.
The captains who we're around the dis
trict headquarters last night wouldn't
admit that they thought any one would
have the audacity to vote a Parsons district
for Quigg, but said they opposed Brough
because they didn't know him well enough.
and, besides. they wouldn't have anybody
but Bennett. They admitted that some
heated words were spoken when BrouRh
named for the leadership, and Josias
M. Thompson, Jr., who led the opposition
and made the wamest speech, won't 30 far
as to say:
IF you want to know what I said last
night go and ask Herbert Parsons. l saw
him to-day and told him the whole thing.

Bennett. Il know Mr.. Brough very we'll,
in fact, and l can safely say that he is sup
porting Mr.. Parsons. He Is a graduate Of
Amherst, is a lawyer with an excellent
practice, and would make an ideal leader"
Mr.. Bennett said he didn't care to name
the man no will support for county chair
man. He said that the Republicans Of
his district know ~Gere he stands, just as
we'll as he knows their sentiment in the
fight, and that being the case, he didn't
want to antagoniEe any one.

Lemuel z. QuigG issued this reply yes
terdAy TO the statements made by Her
bert Parsons on Thursday night in his
speech at the Progressive RepublicansClub
that Quigg was merely a lobbyist and was in
politics In order 10 serve certain corporate
interests:

reveals the instincts Of the sort OF person who

ciples come with my blood and have been
consistently maintained. They are not the
principles Of a mug prig in a Democratic
environment.
My political methods have not always
conformed, perhaps, to the golden rule. but
I never bought my way into influence and posi-
ton by the open and shameless purchase
OF votes at a primary election. being holy
In one section Of my district and rank In
another. There was many a smile upon the
faces Of the old time politicians when they
read how Parsons was the type Of man that
Roosevelt delighted to honor.
And one thing else. I have never. taken

sources OF my position against those from

Supreme Court Justice Newburger had
before him for argument yesterday $40
election cases, on orders issued by Justice
Bowling calling upon enrolled voters to
show cause why their names should not be
removed from the books. About 1000 Of
the cases were Democratic. Most Of the
5000 Republican contests were orders
obtained by the Parsons wing. Il is con-
tended by the Parsons faction that the
Odell- Quigg crowd Is employing Aoaters.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephen
O'Brien appeared for the Board Of Elections
and objected TO the issuance Of an order to
the board to show cause why the names
should not be removed from the enrolment
books said:
in the 500 cases now before your
Honor. the moving papers are based,
in most cases, on the unsupported
application OF the petitioner, who simply
states that he has Investigated Ind found
that the elector had removed from the
house where he was registered from, and to
some place unknown.
Mr.. O'Bren classed the cases he objected
to under three heads:
First. Petitions having no corroborative
afldavits and with no explanation Of how
the KNOWLEDGE set forth was obtained.
Second. Petitions on information and
belief OF an individual with the corroborative
afadavits Of another individual, but without
any statement as to how the information
was obtained or on what IL was based.
Third. Petitions with affidavits Of an
individual corroborated and with details
why the information was known. The
latter class. Mr.. O'Brien ~contended, was the
only class that could be considered by the
Court at all, and he asked that the others
be denied.
