with protesting against the collection
of funds abroad which might be con-
tfibuted for personal advertisement

LITTLE LEARNED
BY Two Inquiries Into Electric Train
Disaster.

| New York, Feb. 20.-Nothing more
, that displaced rail permitted the de-
railment of the New York Central train
in the Bronx Saturday night, in which
accident % persons were either killed
outright or fatally injured was brought
| out at the two inquiries here today.
How the rail became displaced none of
the witnesses were prepared to say.
Coroner Schwannecke continued his in
quest and the state railroad commits
sioner began the inquiry today. Both
| hearings will be continued tomorrow.
Sitting with the railroad commission
| er Jobe 3. Hedges, as special for Gov.
Hughes. and Deputy Attorney General
| Donnclly, both took a hand in examin-
| ing witnesses, but the deputy attorney
general was not allowed to question
those testifying until their examination
| by the commissioners had been COM
! pleted.
| Practically the same witnesses ap-
! pearcd at both inquiries and the great
| er number was made up of railroad Of
ficials and employees. An effort vas
made to determine the speed at which
| the two motor engines took the curve
when the cars were derailed. 1t was
brought out that the motors were not
cquppedwith speedometers and that the
driver had no exact knowledge of the
rate which his train was being moved
at. He estimated the speed by the min
utes occupied in passing scheduled
points.
Supt Mccormick of the New York
Central said that the running schedule
called for a speed of 81 miles an hour
around the curve where the wreck oc-
Cured. He believed the track at that
point capable of withstanding the
strain of a train moving 65 or 70 miles
| an hour.
Chief Engineer George w. Kittredse
of the New York Central had inquired
that a train, in order to cut oft the head
of the railroad spikes by forcing a rail
to one side. would have to attain a
speed of 1913 miles an hour.
J. r.. Beckwith, road foreman OF the
electrical equipment, said that the mo-
tors were capable of speed OF 81 10
q miles an hour. He thought that two
motors working together could De
driven faster than one. He knew lhat
two motors had been attached to the
wrecked train, but had not given the
engineer any specific instructions as 10
the possibilities Of a two-motor comDl-
nation.
Other witnesses testified that the
track had been in good condition anc
that was no apparent reason for the
disbursement of the rail.

BOXING.
Knockout Believed 0nIv
Hope For Harry Lewis.
Sullivan Regarded as Clever
and Is q Favorite.
Honey Melody Says He Will Give
All Corners . Chance.

Denver, Col, Feb. 20.-Unless Harry
Lewis is lucky enough to land knock
out punch on Mike Sullivan in their
fight here Thursday night, it is expect
ed the New Highlander will easily out
point him and send the Philadelphia
back into a division out of which he
has been trying to struggle for con-
siderable time. In fact, fight fans here
consider that Lewis only chance of win
ming is via the knockout punch. They
figure Mike Is much too clever for him
at general work.
There has been little betting on the
fight so far, and Sullivan Is slight IA
VOrife because of the comparative
shortness Of the bout. In a longer fight
where strength might tell more, per
haps Lewis would be the choice. As il
is, Sullivan is expected to stab Lewis
into ribbons before Harry can get well
under way Mike is regarded as an art
ist at this style of fighting.
If Lewis does not win. it will be n Sc
rious setback to his championship as
piratiOns. Sullivan already has been
beaten twice and decisively. both times
by Joe Cans. and in order to be consid-
cred at all a likely candidate for the
blacks title. Lewis will have To admin
lister the sleep producer, and in Il h'ir-
~, too.
There Is little doubt about the excel
lence of the condition of the men. Both
have trained longer than usual DecauS"
of the fact that they We're matched
one. before, but the affair fell through
on account of Lewis negotiations with
Cans, a match that also fell through
and thus reinstated the present class.

THE HYsOM CASE.
E,,+ure rs the Shooting Affair Depends
on Grand Jury Action.

Zebard F.. Hyson, the man VINO Is
alleged to have shot his wife SATURDAY
noon, is at the Insane hospital at
Augusta, and there seems to nave
arisen some slight misrepresentation
as 10 the status of the case at present.
When HysOn was taken before Judge
Shaw of the WaterVille mumclpai
court last Saturday, relatives employed
c. w. Hussey, ESQ., as attorney TOT
him in view of his supposed mental
condition. HysOn was examined ny
DR.. l.. G. Bunker, DR.. j. q. Bernard
and Dr. c. w. Abbott Saturday, ana
each physician pronounced nm IN
Guestionably insane on that date.
They recommended, in view OF TINS
fact, that Hyson be at once taken to
the Insane Hospital, where he coul1
receive proper care.
Before the Waterville municipal
court, Attorney Hussey, acting for the
respondent, waived hearing and the
court placed Hyson under bonds in
the amount of $1,000, awaiting the ac-
ton of the grand jury of the kennebec
Superior Court.
Judge Hall of the Superior Court
was communicated with by telephone
Saturday afternoon, and upon being
made acquainted with the facts in the
case, issued an order that Hyson be
committed to the Maine Insane HOspi-
tai at Augusta until the converting of
court in April. Hyson's attorney filed
the certificate required by law, and
gave notice that a plea of insanity
would be made at the April term of the
Superior Court, if Hyson should be in
dicted.
AS the matter stands now, every
thing depends upon the action Of the
grand jury when the court sits in
April
