With Police Orders
+ About Dead Bodies

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Acting Police
Commissioner O'Keefe has issued an
order that the police prevent any one
from coming in contact with the body
of the victim of a crime or any object
in the immediate vicinity Of the crime,
until some one from the detective bu-
reau appears. so that a careful search
can be made for finger-print marks.
When shown the above order Coroner
Hamburger. president of the board or
coroners, said:
IF the acting police commissioner has
issued such an order. he has made him
self as ridiculous as his chief, and had
better go on vacation. as his chief has
done"
Coroner hamburger cited the fact that
section 1776, Of the New York consolida-
ton act. provides that no one but the
conorer or his clerk shall touch the body
or clothing OF any one who meets a vio-
lent death until permitted by the coroner
or his representatives.

states, and the adjacent ocean has been
rising during the last twenty-four hours,

Crime Wave InCiting
Parents to Take
Vengeance.
Car Barn Is StOrmed
AS Police Protect
Prisoner.

NEW YORK, Aug. Five frenEied
mobs. led by women, seeking the lives
Of alleged fiends, and a reign of terror
In New York such as has never before
been known under similar clrcum-
stances, was the record today Of the
crime wave
In Fourteenth street, near Avenue A,
more than 1000 men and women set
upon Paul Sogerato. Of 209 Avenue B.,
who had seized eleven-year-old Grace
Josco, Of GIL East Fourteenth street
They were led by the child's mother.
They beat tho man nearly TO death,
attacked a policeman who tried TO de-
fend him, and then stormed a car barn
at Avenue B and Fourteenth street,
where the prisoner was taken to save
his life
Doors Battered In.
The doors were battered in, and the
mob was again bearing down upon the
man when the reserves arrived. There
was another fierce battle. and then the
police triumphed. and took the mob's s
victim away in dying condition
Word Of these outbreaks today added
to the ominous tendency TO deal with
the brutal assailants OF children and
sentiment which prevailed In every sec
ton OF the city. Parents, realizing the
inefficiency Of the police. are in a state
OF the utmost terror.
Record of Mob Attacks.
Here is the record Of the five attacks
made by mobs:
Grace JoscO. 61 East Fourteenth
street, seized by Paul Sogerato at ave-
nue. b and Fourteenth street. The girls
mother ran to her aid, and then a moo
began to gather. Sogerato was beaten
nearly to death before the police rescued
him.
Nellie Healy and Helen Farrel. ten
years old, Of 533 West Fifty-sevcnth
street, accosted near their home by Ed
ward Pratt. The cries Of the girls at
tracted a crowd of women who gave

CHICAGO INQUIRY
WILL TAKE Up
HARTMAN ACTS
Criminal Prosecution of
Railroad and Oil Trust
Men May Come.

There Is no longer any doubt that the
Federal grand jury at Chicago, when II
assemblies August Il, will inquire par
ticularly into Z. II. Harriman's man
agement Of the Chicago and Alton. at
the time Il is charged the concern
granted thousands OF rebates to the oil
trust.
The belief is becoming more firmly
established each day that the crlmi-
nal prosecution OF Hartman, ROckefel-
Ter, and other high railroad and OIL
trust officials will follow as a result OF
the recent disclosures in Chicago and
the attitude Of the offending interests.
Upon several occasions, Attorney Cen
eral BoHaparte has publicly announced
his belief that the most efficacious way
to stop rebating was to put some big
men" in Jail. In discussing the sub
joCt with a close friend only a short
time ago. the Attorney General made
this significant statement:
Bonaparte Suggests Imprisonment.
In some cases. where continuous vlo-
lations of the Law involve a large num-
Der of illegal acts, each one OF them
criminal. the total fines which can be
imposed have proved a sufficient deter
rent. But IN other cases II is the opin-
ion Of most prosecuting officers that
the law can be much more clearly and
effectively enforced through the impris-
onment Of individual defendants
Up 10 this time, although the Govern
ment has prosecuted dozens Of cases OF
rebating and fines aggregating over half
a million dollars have been collected.
there has not been a prosecution against
an individual
There is excellent authority for the
statement that the Attorney General is
now going 10 act I'm accordance with
the imprisonment theory.
Hartman and Standard Oil the Same.
It is no secret in financial or Govern
met circles that the Hartman and
Standard Oil interests were almost iden-
teal in many leading enterprises. Evil
dence has been placed in the possession
Of the Department of Justice that Harri-
man was chairman Of the executive com
mittee OF the Chicago and Alton long be-
fore the rebating period now under in
vestigatiOn.
Although the announced purpose OF
the grand jury Is TO take up the Chicago
and Alton phase Of the oil rebating. the
hint is dropped here that the INQUIRY
will be much broader in scope
John d Rockefeller and his associates
we're given immunity from personal
prosecution when Judge Lands called
them to the witness stand prior to the
imposition Of fine against the concern
in the Chicago and Alton case. But this
immunity, in the opinion of the Depart
ment OF Justice officials, does not ex-
tend to rebates accepted from other
roads

Several Americans and English are re-

Twenty Bodies Removed.
Twenty bodies have been removed
from the wreckage, but the debris is
only half cleared away.
Owing TO the great confusion and the
crowds gathered about the scene II has
been impossible for the minister OF rail-
roads and his agents to obtain an ac-
curate estimate OF the Injured. The
trains We're going at high speed when
they colhded. The force OF the impact
was shown by the manner in which the
two locomotives were demolished and
hurled from the tracks. The coaches
were piled one above the other.
Hard Work for Rescuers.
The suffering OF those caught in the
wreckage was so horrible that 1t was
difficult for the rescuers TO continue
their work.
The head OF a little girl apparently
severed by a heavy piece Of broken
glass, was found fifty yards from the
track The features were scarcely
bruised.
Wife Torn to Pieces.

his wife. found himself outside the

OF his wife is a part Of a shawl she

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. Tt
is learned here upon good authority
thaf the Southern railway viii make
concessions in the effort to end the
present strained relations between
the State and the road, and there is
every indication that the trouble
will end satisfactorily to both par
ties.
Col Z l. Russell, vice president OF
the Southern railway, with headquarters
in Mobile, is in Montgomery, and had a
conference with Governor Conner look
ing 20 the settlement Of the present
differences. Neither Colonel Russell nor
Governor Conner would give out any
thing definite regarding the interview,
save that tentative proposition had
been made for adjusting differences, AID
that further conference would take
place very Soon
Further Conferences.
Governor Conner said:
"Yes. il is true that I have had a con-
ference with Colonel Russell Matters OF
variance between the State and the
Southern railroad were discussed. Some
tentative propositions were made, and
further conferences viii be held. l do
not feel at liberty at this time to state
what these propositions were, but the
matter IS being considered"
The governor was asked about his
conference IN Birmingham and the prob
able calling out of the State militia, IL
needed, but was non-communicative.
The attitude Of the State, however, on
this question is that If the Southern rail-
way OF any other road strikes" and re-
fuses to do business in the State the
militia will be called out to enforce
obedience TO the laws.
Said a prominent member OF the Legis-
lature, in sympathy with the admins
tration, this morning: The State feels
that the Southern railway has given il Il
slap in the face by deliberately defying
the law Of the state revOking the license
of any foreign corporation doing railroad
business in Alabama, provided II re-
moves a suit from the State TO the Fed
eral court"
These questions were all involved IN
the litigation now pending before Judge
Thomas G.. Jones, in the Federal court.
and while the litigation is pending the
status quo was changed by the South
ern railway deliberately removing a suit
from the circuit court Of Talladega
county TO the Federal court, in defiance
Of the Stare law.
