ROAD ENGULFS WAGON,
GUESTS SCARED
Z. H. X. Tunnel Causes Section of
SD Street to Sink.

big garbage wagon laden with the refuse
of the Waldorf Astoria, went crashing through
the roadway of 33d street opposite that hotel
about 10 o'clock last night and caused much
excitement among the guests. The wagon fell
into a hollow section of the roadway caused by
the digging OF the Pennsylvania tunnel, and Wild
rumors flew around that the entire hotel was
in danger. This intensified the excitement and
brought hundreds TO the scene. until the Tender
loin reserves had to be summoned.
The wagon was being driven through 33d
street, and had reached point about two hum
dred feet west of Fifth avenue when piece of
asphalt about fifteen feet square gave way under
the weight of the heavy vehicle The driver.

afterward that he thought the lind of creation
wuz cumin'." The wagon meanwhile had sunk
about two feet into the ground
Then the rumor spread that the whole street
was sinking and that the Waldorf threat
ened. The corridors of the big hotel We're
jammed with guests eager to know the truth
about the situation and very much alarmed.
Out in 33d street and along the avenue there
was a blockade of carriages, cabs and auto
mobiles, and traffic was stopped for nearly
hour
officials of the railroad company first denied.
then admitted, that the accident caused by
the tunnel digging. One of the engineers of
the company after ne had carefully inspected
the roadbed, admitted that the company had
been alarmed for days and actually
feared that a serious accident might have Oc-
Cured Explaining. he said:
There is absolutely no danger to the build
ings. but a serious accident might have oc-
Cured on the roadway which we could not we'll
avert. All the buildings in the neighborhood
have been shored up. and. a matter of fact
there is a huge layer of rock below this hollow
section, separating it and the tunnel. Several
days ago when the men were at work they dug
into an old stream wide and deep in some sec
tions. This stream runs into what is known on
the old map of the city Collet Pond
Naturally we we're al!Amed, for it is long
hollow excavation. which causes the streets il
travArses to be unsafe There is danger
now I believe The street will be filled in to-
night.
The Pennsylvania tunnel at this point is said
10 be sixty-f1ve feet below the surface The
police would not take any chances of further

IFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington Dec 14-Major c. w Penrose
and Captain f. A Macklin 18th Infantry will
be tried by general court martial by- order of
the President. This means the bringing before
an army court of the officers who were in charge
of the troops of the 2Jth Infantry at Browns

that town leading to the discharge without
honor of the members of the battalion of the
regiment stationed Fort Brown The trial
VIII in each case be on the charge of neglect of
duty. under the Sixty-second Article of War.
The detail of a court for this purpose is the re-
suit of the recommendation of the General Staff
The President ordered investigation of the
conduct of the officers of the 18th Infantry who
were in command of the battalion of Negro
soldiers at Fort Brown. He desires TO be in
possession of all the information relating to the
incident. The instructions to those who OBJ
tanned testimony that they should ascer-
tain 20 what extent the commissioned officers
were responsible for the occurrences and in
what degree they failed to be properly posted
on all that went on in the weeks just preced-
ing the outbreak OF the Negro troops in the
town. 1t has been charged that the officers
failed to make themselves familiar with the
local sentiment and the action of the men. and
that the commanding officer refused 10 believe
the complaints made by citizens. The fact that
soldiers could get their weapons and go into the
town and return without the knowledge of any
of the officers has been commented on. and the
President feels that the previous Investigations
did not fully cover the situation
The specifications will include among other
things the charge that the two officers named
failed to exercise due diligence in preventing
the occurrence when the condition of affairs at
Brownsville made it necessary that all proper
precautions should be taken to prevent clash
between the troops and the citizens. and also
that they did not examine the rifes.of the men
until daylight although they learned of the true
state of affairs by or o'clock in the morning
The details as TO the membership of the court
and the place of trial have been left to the dis
cretion OF the commander of the Department of

VAT[CAN'S STATEMENT.
THE .CONCORD4T HOLDS.
Declares 1t Has Not Yet Been Dr.
nOunced by France.

Rome, Dec. 14.-The Pope and the Papal Sec
retary of State Cardinal Merry del Val. have
refused all requests to grant interviews for pub
lication on the Franco Vatican situation. But
the following statement is authorized by the
Vatican:
The Concordat the most solemn biateral con-
tract has not Net been denounced by the French
legal standing for the Church in France
The government did not agree with the Holy
See this subject, and repeatedly and openly
showed hostility toward the head of the Church.
Violence may prevail for time but those who
are suffering from this state of oppression pre-
serve all their rights and all their claims The
explosion of joy among the Masonic and dema-
gogic societies as a result of the persecution on
the part of the government shows that the war
is against the Church and religion.
notwithstanding the bills passed and regula
tions adopted, France at the present time has
no law granting religious liberty to those who
do not comply with the law providing for the
separation of Church and State. The one good
French Minister Of Public Worship, NJ. BRAND
is his confession that il is impossible to apply
10 cultural associations the laws of 1881 and
1901. which were adopted for the regulation of
other kinds of associations meetings. Therefore
what is needed IS real law providing for real
liberty instead Of arbitrary ministerial cir
CularS.

OF which the republicans suppressed and pro-
claimed their separation from the Holy See

President Faeres in the chair. in order to de-
eide on the new legislation to he presented 10

cided will not be ready until tomorrow. The
steps to be taken are of very sweeping char
acter
It is proposed to amend the law of 1905. pro-
Iidng for the separation of Church and State.
by which a years grace was allowed before the
permanent alienation of the Church property.
and to suppress the privilege of forming new
diocesan associations during that period. and
all Church property. including the seminaries.
will Immediately be handed over to the State. TO
the departments and to the communes. under
conditions insurng that the churches them
selves will be retained for religious uses. The
continuance OF public worship will be provided
for under combination OF the laws of, 1881
and 1901.
With regard 10 the pensions and allowances OF
the clergy distinctions VIII be made by which
those who are entitled to the former will lose
their rights if they deprived of their French
citizenship while those who entitled to the
latter will lose their allowances if they do not
conform With the law. The conditions under
which the clergy will forfeit their French cit
izenship will he drawn up in a special measures

The first day Of the regime Of the separat tion
of church and State having passed without
grave disorders public interest in the details Of
the continuation Of the struggle is already Wis
ihly tagging. II is now apparent that the re
sistance of the clergy will be purely passive and
that there is prospect of religious passions
hetng aroused unless the churches closed,
and the government therefore is resting on its
oars and will continue to do until Parliament
authorizes the drastic measures which the Cabi-
net is preparing In the mean time in this city.
