200 OF 24O ON
COLUMBIA
SAVED
Loss Of Life on Steamer
Sunk in Collision Much
Less Than Reported First.

EUREKA, Cal, July 23.-The best
advices are that approximately 200 of
the 249 souls on board the steamer
Columbia escaped death when that
vessel went to the bottom near Shelter
Cove between midnight and / o'clock
of Sunday morning in a collision with
the steam schooner San Pedro. One
hundred and seven of the Columbia's
passengers and 81 of her crew have
been brought to this port by the
steamer George w. Eldes which towed
the colliding schooner San Pedro from
the scene of the disaster to Eureka. A
late message from Shelter Cove says
that n llfeboat has been picked up.
The survivors who were brought to
this port are being cared for at hotels
and in private houses.
The citizens of Eureka, moved to
unanimous action by pity and the dis
tress of the victims, have supplied
sufficient quantities of clothing and all
necessary medical attention without
stint or price.
A, segregation of the Columbia's pas
senger list shows that in her cabin she
carried rs men and 80 women and girls;
in her steerage 20 men and one woman,
a total of 189. Discrepancies between
the list furnished the purser on sailing
and figures given by survivors Indicate
that the passengers may have been
greater in number.

of Accidents.
CUT STATE IN DISTRICTS
Newark and Jersey City Placed

sioner Whiting in Charge.
First Is Under Gen. Cong
den; Third Under Wilson.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, July 23.--At the meeting
of the Railroad Commission at the
State House today, a resolution offered
by Commissioner Whiting to divide the
State into three districts was adopted.
The purpose of the resolution Mr. Whit
ing explained was to make 1t more
convenient for the people to take mat
ters up direct with the commissioner in
their district and thus save time and
expense in travelling to Trenton. The
districts are made up as follows:
First District-Bergen, Passaic, Sus-
sex. Morris. Warren, Hunterdon. Som-
erset and Mercer.
Second-Hudson, Essex, Union and
Middlesex.
Third-Monmouth. Ocean. Burlington,
Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Salem,
Cumberland and Cape May.
The first district is to be in charge OF
Commissioner Congdon. the second,
Commissioner Whiting and the third.
Commissioner Wilson.
For the reason that the railroads
have openly violated the order of the
commission in reporting accidents that
occurred during the past week, tine act
ing secretary was directed to at once
ascertain the reasons.
"This matter Of reporting accidents
must be complied with" said one Of the
commissioners. IF the railroads do
not intend to carry out the law end the
orders of the commission we will be
compelled to take means to compel
| them"
| The Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad Company have not as vet
made any reply to the commission in con-
nectlon with the Bloomfield accident. This
matter. too will be dealt with at the next
meeting.
The acting secretary was also directed to
apply to the secretary of the National AS
sociation of Railroad Commissioners for
the admission to membership Of the New
Jersey Board
The board adopted a form OF circular LETT.
ter to be sent to every municipality
throughout the State with view OF
obtaining data in connection with grade
crossings. This Information is to be used
by the board in helping 1t to formulate a
plan of ascertaining Just what is the
best plan to follow in the abolition OF
grade crossings.
The board has decided to be governed
by the same rules and practices as govern
the Interstate Commerce Commission in so
far as the law Of this State will permit.
All of the commissioners were present
except Mr.. Wilson. James Mayberry. who
was recently appointed assistant Inspector,
will act as secretary until the commission
elects permanent secretary.

WITNESSES
THREATENED
in KUGEL
Reason Given for Their
NOn-appearance Today
in Police Court.

Alleged threats to take the lives of
case OF Jacob Kugel, who conducts q
saloon at 105 Prince street, are said
to have been responsible for their nom
appearance at the Kugel hearing in
the Fourth Precinct Police Court to-
day. The police and sleuths from the
sheriff's office had been watching
Kugel's place for some time, but dis
covered that pickets were posted in
the vicinity of it, and each time they
made their appearance evidence would
disappear.
At midnight, on July G. however,
squad of men led by Plalnclothesmen
Reilly and Kaas went to the scene and
from ladder, which they placed on
wodshed in the rear yard, they dis
covered several men seated around a
table playing cards. Suddenly one of
the party lighted a match and looked
out of the window, and when he rec
ognized Reilly he shouted.
Hello, Reilly; what's up?"
you'll find out in the morning." re-
plied the pfainclothesman.
When the alleged card sharpe-s dis
persed among others seen leaving was
Policeman Samuel Saslow. Of the Third
Precinct, who resides few blocks from
Kugels.
When the police reported to Captain
Vogel the latter decided that he was get
ting tired of the saloon-loeeper's tricks and
hnd warrant issued and the following
day Kugel was taken into custody, but,
through his counsel, former Sheriff William
C. Nicoll. he was granted hearing, and
1t was set down for last week, but was
postponed until today.
Since the arrest of Kugel Captain Vogel
secured number of witnesses, and among
them was Jacob Silberman and one Sass
ner When it leaked out that they visited
Captain Vogel they told him that Kugel
threatened to kill them If they appeared
against him. This aroused the captain,
and he visited Kugel, and later sent for
him and advised him to stop his method
of soaring witnesses.
| Reilly, Hans and Holzhauer testified to-
day 5ilberman and Sassner didn't ap
| pear.
They are not here. and won't be,
said Captain Vogel, for Kugel 'shool
them down and threatened to kill them.
| Judge Herr then had the captain sworn
| He told of personal investigation In the
case, and said he didn't place the name:
of all tho witnesses ON the complaint fol
he believed Kugel would get at them,
| too.
Mr.. Nicoll wanted the complaint dropped
but Judge Herr, after questioning the
captain, decided to send the case before
the Grand Jury, and fixed bail at $780,
1t was furnished.
