LOOSE RAIL THEORY

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 5:-Ac-
cording to statements made last night
by Coroner Gaskill, experts will es-
tablish today at the inquest into the
wreck of the electric train in which
f~ifty-seven lives were lost a week ago,
that the cause of the derailment was
due to a loose rail.
Several railroad engineers accom-.
panied the coroner yesterday to the
d%rawbridge and carefully examined
the system used, and it is understood
that they sustain the roner in his
theory that one of the rails was out
of place, raised above the level of the
parallel track, and was struck by the
forward wheels of the motor car.
This is the theory which is being
worked upon today and the evidence
is expected to be of a convincing
character. 1t will temper the blame
which is being charged to the deau
motorman of running his train reck,
lessly over the bridge. Friends Oh
the dead motorman have begun a SUD-
scription for his widow and family OF
several children, left without support.
For the first time since the disaster
the divers did not work in the stream
yesterday in the quest of additional
victims of the wreck. General Man
ager Aterbury, of the pennsylvania
railroad system, accompanied by sew
eral experts, examined the bridge, but
hey refused to say what they sought.

PROPOSES CHANGES
IN AUTOMOBILE Law

TRENTON, Nov. 5;-J. B. R.
Smith, state commissioner of the De-
partment of Motor Vehicles, has CIV
en- out in an interview his views as
to needed corrections of the New
Jersey Motor Vehicle Act, commonly
known as the Frelinghuysen law. Its
enforcement for four months, he says,
has shown that the law is based upon
the right principle that it has been
productive of good results, and in
the broad sense of the term, has been
successful.
Mr.. Smith says that the method
provided in the law to identify auto
mobiles fails to accomplish it's pur-
pose because the numbers cannot be
seen under those circumstances which
make it most necessary for them to
be seen. He is confident that a better
system of Identification can be de-
vised the essential features of which
should be that the marks or numbers
shall be visible under all conditions
at least 800 feet away.
The commissioner suggests a rem
edy for the arrest without warrant
evil and recommends that the number
of paid automobile inspectors be in
creased. These inspectors, the COM
missioner thinks, should be provided
with motor cycles.
He recommends interstate regis
tration, thus avoiding changing of
numbers when passing state lines.
He believes the trial of automobile
cases should be vested either in the
court of common pleas or in some
special court possessed of technical
knowledge of automobile offenses and
the value of evidence.

PEARY WILL
TRY AGAIN.
Arctic Explorer Wires His Wife
from Labrador Party Met Un-
usual Hardships.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Mrs, Robert
e. Peary, wife of the arctic explorer
who has beaten all records in having
reached the "farthest north" has re
celyed a message from her husband
dated at Hopedale, Labrador. 1t is
follows:
"Homeward voyage incessant battle
with ice, storms and head winds. Pro
peller damaged and progress very
slow. Waiting here for coal from
mail steamer. Have no enXiety. Elk
pect wire from Chateau bay. Am per-
fectly WE'LL"
II. L. Bridgman, secretary of the
Arctic Club of America, received the
following telegram from him at Bat
tie Harbor, 250 miles south of Hope
dale:
"Just arrived. Regards to yourself
and Mrs. Bridgman.'
That Commander Peary encountered
unusual difficulties in his search for
the north pole was Indicated in a tele-
gram received here by Morris X. Jes-
up, president of the Penry Arctic club.
Buffeted about in a field of ice. his
ship without coal, his dogs poisoned
by impure food and a portion of the
interior of the vessel torn apart to pro-
vide fuel for the boilers were some or
the trials which the explorer was fore
ed to face. The most significant por-
ton of the telegram, however, was
that containing an intimation that
Commander Peary would again try to
find the north pole.
The text of the telegram, dated
Hopedale, Labrador, follows:
Steamer Roosevelt now here. Re
pairing rudder and stern, taking bal
last and awaiting arrival mail steamer
to secure coal. Return voyage inces-
SAINT struggle with ice to Cape York,
Sept. 26; then storms and head winds
to Labrador coast, Oct. %. Carried
away two rudders, stern post and two
blades of propeller, fore topmast and
spanker boom. Lost one boat.
Burned all coal and some of the

safety and give no credence to eXag-
gerated reports. Roosevelt is return
ing this year for additional supplies
and for repairs. Several tons of whale
meat and dog food thrown away last
fall after poisoning number of my
dogs. Other supplies lost by breaking
of ice in April"
A st, Johns IN. F. dispatch says
that the news of Peary's latest
achievements in arctic exploration was
received there with great satisfaction,
Captain Bartlett and the other officers
and crew of the Roosevelt being New
foundlanders. Sir William MacGregor,
governor of Newfoundland, himself an
explorer and ~geGgrapherf of worldwide
reputation, has wired his heartiest con

HARRY THAW MAY Be
ON TRIAL THIS WEEK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5:-Unless his
counsel wishes to delay it Harry X.
Thaw will be put on trial some time
this week to answer the charge of
having murdered Mr.. Stanford White.
Thaw has been in the Tombs since
June. When he was first taken to
the prison there were several murder
cases to be tried before his case came
up.
The calendar was rushed through
as fast as possible. On October 1
there were in the Tombs thirty-one
prisoners awaiting trial for murder.
Now only nine remain. On the list
Thaw is No. 2. No. 1 is Raffaelo
Garcone, who will be tried Wednes-
day, and as.soon as his case is closed
Thaw will be brought to trial.
The only thing that can delay
Thaw's IA is that his counsel, Mr..
Gleason, has a writ from the Supreme
Court which forbids District Attorney
Jerome-Thaw being indicted al
ready-from calling more witnesses
in the case before the grand jury.
h district attorney said that he can
hold back the trial If he wants to,
but that this writ is the only thing
that will prevent the Thaw case from
coming up this week. When a note
was sent in to Thaw he returned the
reply:
I'm the absence of my counsel, Mr..
Hartridge, | do not care to make any
statements"

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. s.
David Wilson, IN employee of the Fur
man Brick Company, of S~ayreville,
was run over by a trolley car on Sat
urday evening and died at 1 o'clock
Sunday morning in the hospital.
Frank A%ugerback, the motorman.
was passing Wiley's Corner, Sayre-
vile, on his way towards South River,
about Z. O'Clock, when Wilson, under
the influence of drink. reeled across
the tracks in front of the car and fell
with his legs laying on the tracks.
He ran so suddenly in the way of the
car that it was beyond the power of
the motorman to stop it and the man
had both of his legs cut off. DR.. Beck
mar was called and the man was hur-
ried in an ambulance to Wells Me-
mortal hospital, where he died at 1
o'clock. Undertaken Quackenboss
took charge of the remains.
So far no relatives of Wilson have
been found and most likely he had
none. He was a member of a gang
which lives in the sheds provided by
the brick company. This gang is one
of the many which go south during
the winter and work here during the
summer.
The motorman is entirely free
blame in the accident, as Wilson stag
