conducting the defense Of George A.
Pettibone, had Harry Orchard, the
states chief witness, on the rack for

The cross -examination was rigid

DarrCw made little attempt To make

I one reads OF today's panic.
Let me make another prediction.
By the time this magazine reaches
it's readers, there will be such a huge
number of unemployed In every city
of the country, that it will be obvious
TO many that charity and soup kitch-
ems are not going TO meet the issue.
The people in Pittsburg must be
fed, and the food supply is In Chicago.
Pittsburg has no money TO pay for
food because 1t is out Of employment
aud draws no wages. Chicago VIII
not feed Pittsburg unless 1t Is paid
for the food. What is TO be donef
We can't let the million men about
Pittsburg starye, and 1t Is obvious
that we have no permanent method
OF getting the food from Chicago TO
them unless we start the wheels ~

We must get -four and beef loaded
on the train at Chicago and shipped
to PittsbuTg. How is this to be
doneE / will not he one train for one
day that must be started, but train
every day, and it must he kept up
ilndefnItely. The problem which
will confront the people In the Unit
ed States will be how TO save large
number from starvation; starving,
not because there is famine, but
because there is too much. II seems
to me, very likely, that the United
States government will be called up
on to Dad up trains Of provisions In
the West, conn andeer the railroads,
our mills, stock yards, and bring the
food tn the starving In the East.
| Compensation will be given, but that
will be settled later. Work must be
provided TO the people In Pittsburg
that they may pay for the food. 1t
is true that for a day or two, or for
a week. food could he given as a
matter Of charity, but sooner or later
the government will be face 10 face
with the arranging OF the problem OF
the exchange OF labor between the
West and East. 1t Will be the ar
ranging OF this problem, namely, to
pay Chicago and Minneapolis for its
products by giving in exchange the
products OF Pennsylvania, and the
East generally, that will be the first
step to the establishment Of the
socialist republic in America VIII

The opposition To the acceptance
Of the contribution took the form of

tior.
Mr.. Williams spoke in similar
vein, as also did Mr.. Clayton.
Mr.. Taggart advocated the accept
ance of the 500. 900, saying IL would
be needed now even worse than IL
was needed in 1904, and that at that
time il would have been practically
impossible To have opened head
quarters for Judge Parker IL they
had not had the extra money secured
from st. Louis, where the conven-
ton was held.
Senator Stone, OF Missouri, made.a
long speech In which he favored the
acceptance OF the money.

The Mayor had an appointment at the City
Hall at 3 o'clock and had the Dock Depart

so that he might keep the appointment
in case anything happened to the new
ferryboat. Nothing happened, however.
except several bursts of speed that were
close to sixteen miles. Everything afioat
with a whistle footed greeting to the new
ship and the Aldermen fired salutes with
corks.. 1t was the gayest time they nave
had since they played highball down in
Philadelphia.
The Bay Ridge made excellent time
against the tide and better with it. Super
intendent of Ferries Ambrose was satisfied
and so was Dock Commissioner Bensel.
superintendent Ambrose said the Bay
Ridge would cover the course between
Thirty-ninth street. South Brooklyn, M
the South street terminal of the ferry in
about fifteen minutes. which is nearly ten
minutes better than the a%ntiquated boats
now in the service do.
The Bay Ridge is not quite so big as the
boats on the Staten Island route. She il
2lO feet long over all, "a feet beam over
guards n has five transverse bulkheads,
giving her six watertight compartments.
Her hull and main deck are Of steel and
she is fireproofed. Unlike the Staten
island boats, she has no stairway going
from her lower to her upper cabins. En-
trance TO the upper cabins is by stairways
from the main deck. Within two months
the Bay Ridge will have sister ships running
with her, the Nassau and Gowanus, near
ing completion at Wilmington. The Bay
Ridge goes into commission next week.

Passenger Car Runs Into a Work Train NJ
Clarendon. Va.

W~AsHINoToN. July 3.-Thirty-two per-
sons were injured in a collision this MORN
ing near Clarendon. Va. between a pas
senger car and a work train OF the WASH
ipgton. Arlington and Falls Church Electric
Railway.
George T. Waring, a merchant Of Ball
ston, Va. who sustained two broken legs
and internal injuries in the wreck, died at
the Georgetown University Hospital to-
night.
The overcrowded passenger car was on
it's way from Falls Church to Rosslyn when
the collision occurred at about $50 o'clock.
A special car had preceded il, and when
this had passed the siding on which the
work train was standing the work train
pulled out on the main track. Just then
the passenger car came in sight. There
is a sharp turn on a down grade at this
point and the motorman Of the passenger
car did not see the work train until he was
close to 1t. Owing to the grade he could
not check his car in time and the collision
resulted. The work train was loaded
with steel rails and the weight Of these
made the impact very sever
The wreck was caused by the neglect OF
the crew on a westbound passenger car
preceding the work train to notify the crew
OF the eastbound car which was wrecked
that the work train was following the west
bound car.

writ Of Habeas Corpus.

The New York City Railway Co.. through
lawyer Joseph F. DAILY, notified Coroner
Acritelli yesterday that henceforth in
cases Of homicide charged against its
motormen when cars kill people it will
not furnish more than " 500 bail. Writs
OF habeas corpus will be applied for and
IL tina fails the motormen will be left in
the Tombs until they are discharged by
either a Coroner's or a trial jury.
The ultimatum was given when Coroner
Acritelli sent Joseph Gargan to the Tombs
in default Of 5000 bail yesterday. His car
killed an unidentified man at Sixth avenue
and Forty-first street.
mechanism OF his car was out Of order
and had IL not been 50 he could readily
have stopped the car and saved the man
life.
why did you not test the car at the
barns?" asked the Coroner.
Its against the rules. We must take
out the cars as they give them to us. II
we refused IL would cost US our jobs, " said
Gargan.
-I mean TO send this Information to the
Public Utilities Commission" said the
Coroner. This comes close co real murder. .
He told Lawyer DAILY that the New York
City Railway Co. must furnish bonds in
the amounts demanded or let the en-
ployees stay in jail.
Coroner Hamburger always exacts even
higher bail in such cases. usually $40. 900.
Acritelli and the other Coroners seldom
