DAVID WILCOX TAXES
 HIS LIFE IN MID OCEAN
RECENTLY RESIGNED PRESI- DENCK OF DELAWARE & HUD-
 SON RAILROAD.

Went Abroad to Recuperate His Health
 Not Well When He Boarded the
 Steamship Barbarossa at Naples for
 Health Officer Doty at Midnight Last
 Night-Vessel Now at Quarantine
 Suicide Occurred Last Wednesday,
 A Graduate of Yale.
 New York, April 26.-David Wilcox, former president of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad company, committed suicide at sea last Wednesday, while a passenger on the North German Lloyd steamer Barbarossa, according to a re- port made to Health Officer Doty by Captain Langrenter at midnight to- night. The Barbarossa is at quaran- tine, where the steamer arrived this evening from Genoa and Naples. Up on arrival of the liner 1t was reported that MT. Willcox had died of heart failure. AS he had been known to be in Ill health and had gone abroad re- gently in the hope of recuperating it was no great surprise to his friends to learn that he had succumbed.
 Subsequent investigation, however, according to the captain, developed ev- 1dence that Mr. Wilcox had shot him. self. In reporting the facts to Dr. Doty the captain said that he had only a few moments before been made aware of the cause of death. Dr, Doty said that he would make an investigation to- morrow morning. The vessel remained at quarantine tonight and will come up to her dock tomorrow forenoon.
 MT. Wilcox, broken in health, sailed some time ago and recently, because he had not secured the benefit physc- ally that he sought, he cabled his res- ignation of the presidence of the rail road which was accepted by the direc- tors, who chose his successor in the person of Leonor F. Loree, once presi- dent of the Baltimore and Ohio, and the Rock Island railroads At the time it was given out that MT. Willcox's re- tirement from the presidency of the Delaware and Hudson was prompted solely by Ill health.
 Mr, Wilcox was feeling unwell, 1t was stated, when he took passage on the Barbarossa at Naples April IS. He did not appear to improve and on We'd nesday died in his stateroom. The thought of suicide did not occur to those on shipboard.
 MT. Wilcox was born in Flatbush, L. l., December F, 1S49. He was grad mated from Yale In 1872 and was admit ted to the bar at Poughkeepsie in 1874. He was made vice president of the Del aware and Hudson in 1903 He was president and general manager of the road and of several of its subsidiary companies from 1903 until his retire. ment from the presidency. He was president and director of the United Traction company of Albany; director and member of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific Railway com- pany; director of the Union Pacific rail- way He was member of many clubs in this city. MT. Wilcox never mar ried. His home here was at East 6Oth street.

DENNETT AND DOUGLASS
 TURN STATES EVIDENCE
JEROME MUM AND YARNS HIS ASSISTANTS TO SAY
 NOTHING


 They Have Revealed a Wall Street
 Plot of Startling PrOportions-8anS
 Official Declares That Affair Is Now
 "Up to the District Attorney"
 New York, April 26.-The district att torney's office tonight had succeeded in delaying for another day the inevi- table publicity concerning the details of the conspiracy through which the Trust Company of America was rob bed of bonds, the aggregate value of which is known only to the parties di- rectly interested.
 What information was forthcoming was of a negative nature. The district attorneys office denied that a third person, yet to be named publicly, was involved and that another arrest was imminent Oakleigh Thorne, president of the Trust company denied that his bank would lose more than the $140,0O0 required to reimburse brokers who had innocently accepting the stolen bonds as security.
 No bonds were now missing, he said, and the bank was not further concern ed in the case, which was now "up to the district attorney" More he declined to say.
 District Attorney Jerome declared to- night that he would say nothing for publication and warned his assistants to make no statements to the news papers
 Attorneys for w. o. Douglass, the loan clerk, and o. M. Dennett, the broker, who are in custody the for mer charged with the larceny of $50,- 900 worth of bonds and the latter with receiving stolen goods, also refused to discuss the matter. Forbes J. Hen messy, counsel for Dennett, said that he had promised MT Jerome not to say a word on the subject.
 The persistent secrecy has lent color to the report that the prisoners will turn states evidence and reveal a Wall Street plot of startling proportions.
 This much Is known.-Both Dennett and Douglass dictated statements at the district attorneys office to-day. When they were concluded the pros ecutor fiatly refused to either make public the statements or give hint of their import. Whether either prisoner made a clean breast of his connection with the affair or each was content with placing himself in the most fa- yorable light possible is matter for speculation.
 Dennett and Douglass were taken from the Tombs to the district attor- ney's office this forenoon, and after a conference with representatives of the prosecutors office the prisoners were either induced or permitted to make formal statements. Dennett was placed in one office and Douglass in another. Dennett dictated to stenographer for four hours, stopping only for a hurried lunch. Douglass statement was taken by another stenographer in an hours time With the latter at the time was Mir. Thorn and the prisoners attorney Robinson Honey, of Newport, R. I. The latter was as reticent tonight as the representatives of the state.

Court this morning to answer the
complaint. He waived examination
and was ordered to furnish $500 for the

In the statements made to Acting Judge
Yuill in court 1t appears that the COM

name was not mentioned. She has been
purchasing her wearing apparel at Mr..
Kahn's place. One item oil the bill, Il
dress valued at $50, was charged to Mr..
Book, and when he was asked to make
payment he denied being responsible. This
led to an argument, in which Mr.. Book
was struck in the eye by Mr.. Kahn The

during the argument, and, fearing that
he was about to be struck, he hit the COM

DEPUTY CLERK RAPED
FOR NOT TAKING BAIL.

terfere with Business of Court
and Didn't.

10 await the Grand Jury. The bail was
furnished.
The question as to the power of the
deputy clerk to accept bail in the case
last night furnished a lively tilt be-
tween Attorney Lewis J. Beers, rep
resenting the defendant, and Deputy
Clerk Elmer Freeland. The latter re-
fused to take bail for Young, but re-
ferred Beers to Yuill. He could not be
found, so Judge Herr, Of the Fourth
Precinct Court, was appealed to. He
paroled Young.
Attorney Beers claimed that the
judge had acted humanely. Freeland
said that might be true. but when he
went to the Fourth Precinct to bail
a man out he was told hat it was
not his place to interfere With the
business of the court. He said that
the same rule applied to the First
Criminal Court, and that Fourth Pre-
cinct people should not try to run the
First Criminal Court.

CAR PLANS FOR BIG NAVY
IMPROVEMENTS.
Emperor Determined to Restore Rus
sia's Scattered Sea Power at
Any Cost.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1S.-The
reconstruction of the Russian navy,
which up to the present has been in
allegiance owing to internal preoceupa-
tons, has suddenly emerged to the sur
face and bids fair to develop a por-
tentous conflict as between the wishes
of the Emperor and the Douma.
The Douma committee of national de-
Tense, presided over by M Guchkoff,
the Octoberist leader, while discussing
this years naval estimates, sent a for
NAL demand to Admiral Dikoff, the
Minister of Marine, to submit to the
Douma full particulars of the new
shipbullding program which has been
worked out by the admiralty. This
program entails an expenditure Of
$500, 900, 900.
The committee by vote arrived at the
conclusion that the Investigation and sane
ticn Of the separate items in this years
budget would be impracticable without a
knowledge of the contents of the whole
program. The demand opens a very deli
cate question. which at present is caus-
ing the council of ministers worry.
1t can be stated on the best Of authority
that the shipbuilding program has been
elaborated through the personal participa-
ton Of the Emperor, who is fully deter
mined to make the restoration OF Russia
scattered sea power the browning achieves
ment OF his reign, regardless OF cost. -
All along it has been a patent fact that
the naval officials are enjoying the highest
favor Of the Emperor. Naval games with
mechanical toys have been n conraon
amusement at court, the Empress taking a
lively part in these. Els brother monarch,
the German Emperor, at everv opportunity
has encouraged Nicholas in his ambition.
IT is asserted on competent authority
that the naval program is linked with the
survival of the Douma, as the Emperor
Will not brook a refusal of appropriations.
