youngsters from witnessing the perform

being turned over to them.
The streets in the vicinity of the theater
began to be blocked by the little ones as
early as o'clock this morning, when the
distribution of free tickets from the box
office window was begun. BY IL o'clock
the lines for the various entrances began
to form and by noon 1t was all the police
could do to keep the street clear for
pedestrians. The excitement of the ex-
pectant youngsters rose to the highest
pitch as 3 o'clock PM, the hour for the
beginning of the performance, drew nigh.
1t required only few moments to fill the
theater.
Mr.. Jefferson said this morning he had de-

THIRD-RAIL MAN KILLED.
Car Barn Employe Juggled With
Death Once Too Often.

NEW YORK, May S-Peters Disbrow was
known as the third rail- man among the
employees In the car barns of the New York
City Railway Company. His was a task
that required nerve and unceasing vigilance.
The company called him a ''wireman." He
worked in a f1ve-foot pit over which the
cars passed In and out OF the barns The
heavily charged third rail is discontinued
within few feet of the entrance to the
barn. A wire is attached to the third rail
at the end near the entrance to the barn.
1t was Disbrows task. the police say. to
grasp this wire and apply 1t to cars which
were sent out on the road. Although the
wire was used to convey power to the cars,
Disbrow was the important link in the con-
veyance. and for that reason he was called
the "third-rail' man.
Quick work is demanded in the night
rush hour when the trolleys are hustled out
OF the barn to meet the traffic requirements.
1t was in this rush last night that Disbrow
worked ceaselessly in his pit He worked
as adroitly with the live wire as q fencer
with his foil Cars were rolled toward his
pit. and he "third-railed" them out of the
entrance until they could connect with the
current direct. AS they passed over him
the 'plow'' of each car came within a few
inches of his head. It Is the "plow" which
extends through the slot Of the trolley track
and comes in contact with the power
n An Stn ayenu n car was passed up to
he thought. with the same caution he had
always exercised. But he made a fatal
slip, the possibility Of the danger of which
was one Of the least against which he had
to guard. AS the pillow approached, he
raised his head 1t dealt him a stunning
blow, which was responsible for the live
wire slipping out Of Disbrows hand. It
formed a circuit with his body. and he re-
ceived the full voltage of the powerful
current.
Employees heard a cry of pain, and then
all was still in the pit. The car was backed
away, revealing Disbrow's body.

WARMLY PRAISED BY JOHN |.
THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY
TAFT INDoRsED.
Visit Of Sullivan, the Veteran Pugilist
to the White House-Seeks
Pardon for Friend.

Everything was all to the good today for
John L. Sullivan when he tripped into the
White House. Carrying his $50 pounds
with a jauntiness characteristic OF the only
John L., he handed his card to Secretary
Loeb's doorkeeper, who was visibly affected
as he looked at the name. AS John L. sat
In q chair waiting for his arrival to be an
nounced to the President Secretary Taft
walked out of the executive Offices. John
L. saw him.
There goes the real goods" said John
L., "a genuine heavyweight In intellect ana
avoirdupois. (These were big words for
John.) / want to meet him."
While q newspaper man stopped Secre-
tary Taft in front of the executive Of
fees, another beckoned John L. to come
forward. With the grace that he always
famous right and caught the Secretary full
in the palm Of the hand. But Secretary
Taft didn't even stagger. He looked John
L. square in the face and welcomed him.
How much do you weigh, Mr.. Sullivan
asked Secretary Taft.
We'll, I'm a lightweight confessed the
only. But l expect I have got you skin
ned about block" and the former pugl-
list confessed that he weighed $50 pounds,
while Secretary Taft admitted that he
knocked the point on a pair of scales to
close around $50.
II wrote you a letter few days ago"
went on Sullivan, addressing the Secretary,
and then the two went to one side. while
Sullivan urged pardon for a soldier in the
army who had got in trouble.
A photographer whose outfit was stand
ing outside waiting for a permit from Sec
rotary Loeb to take some pictures, nearly
had a fit because his permit had not ar
rived and he could not do business as the
pair of big men stood talking with each
other.
The President sent for John L.. and they
had a talk of some time. When John l..
came out he said he had simply paid his
respects to the President.
You know the President saw me when
knocked Mitchell over the ropes In New
York in 1881 said the former fighter,
land like him. He's all right And SOS
this Ohio man, Taft. You know all big men
are all right if you just let them alone.
They will take lot and stand for good
deal until they get going, but when they
do get started they go like - and John
L. thought he could not pay better COM
pliment to the Secretary of War.

CUT BY REPUBLICANS
Mr.. Bonaparte's View Of the Cause Of
Timanus' Defeat.

In speaking OF the result of yesterdays
election in Baltimore Mr.. Bonaparte said
today:
while I regret the results of the cleo
ton. I cannot say that they surprised me.
So far as I have had time to examine
the returns, which have been able. as vet
to consider only specifically, they seem
to establish three facts, namely:
''First-Mr. Mahool obtained the sreeuIa r,
democratic vote:
'Second-Mayor Timanus failed to obtain
a large proportion of the regular repub-
lican vote:
"Third-The vote generally classed as
Independent was somewhat div ded. but
the bulk OF 1t went to Timanus.
This is very much what thought might
very probably be the showing of the re-
turns. am sorry it was not different.
but I am not given to crying over spiIt
milk, and I advise my political friends to
forego lamentation and recrimination and
to hope for and deserve better luck next
time"

JUST MISSED COLLISION
SERIOUS ACCIDENT BETWEEN
LINERS NARROWLY AvERTED.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May S.-Just east OF Nam
tucket Shoals the big German liner Kali
ser Wilhelm II of the North German
Lloyd line and the German cruiser
Bremen, from Hampton roads, narrowly
missed running into each other in the
mist yesterday morning.
There were many distinguished pas
sengers on the Kaiser Wilhelm II, which
arrived in port today. and they say that
only the great skill of the captains
saved the two vessels from what might
well have been disastrous collision.
Barely a hundred yards separated the
two vessels when the danger passed, and
at sea this is very close shave indeed.
Among the Lloyd liners passengers
were Governor-elect Hoke Smith Of
Georgia, with his wife; Robert A. Van
Wyck, former mayor of this city, and
Aurel Batonyi, the noted whip. They
were loud in their praises of the excel
lent seamanship displayed by Capt. Cup
pers of the liner and of the equally mas
terly handling of the Bremen in the
pinch.
Close Together.
Mr.. Van Wyck was on the promenade
deck and Mr.. Batonyi on the boats bridge
Of the liner at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing when the big bulk of the other vessel
doomed up out of the mist dead ahead.
The Kaiser Wilhelm II was travelling at a
good clip, and to some of those who looked
on 1t seemed as II collision was inevi-
table.
When the engines of the liner were re-
versed she moved on, while the cruiser
changed her course and went in the same
direction as the passenger ship. AS they
steamed side by side those on the liner
could read the name Bremen on the cruiser
and that was the first. clue they had to the
identity of the foreigner.
Gov. Smith and his wife have been abroad
trying to encourage immigration to Georgia.
The governor said they had been very
successful in their mission. When asked
how Georgia would swing in the next pres
idential election he called attention to the
fact that on the prior occasion ft>had gone
for Bryan. but he said that President
Roosevelt was very popular throughout the
state.
Other passengers on the ship said that
the governor had been heard to wax en-
thusiastic over Mr. Roosevelt. The COVER
nor contented himself with the remark that
he could not say what the legislature would
do.

NO IDEA OF RESIGNING
ATTORNEY GENERAL BoNAPARTE
DENIES PUBLISHED REPORTS

Attorney General Bonaparte made quick
rejoinder today to newspaper stories that
his work In the Department of Justice has
been unsatisfactory to the President, who
would be glad to have him resign. These
stories grew out Of published story that,
because OF Ill health, Mr. Bonaparte pro-
posed to resign from the Department of
Justice. Mr.. Bonaparte denied this story,
saying that he had no intention Of resign
ing. He cared little for q story Of that kind.
however, but did take offense at intima-
lions that he has done nothing Of import
ance since he went Into the Department of
Justice and that the work there Is clogged
because of his slow methods. One Of the
stories said that under Mr.. Moody there was
hustling In the department, but that under
Mr.. Bonaparte there is no longer anything
doing in the prosecution of trusts, and the
most ordinary business Of the department Is
prosecuted with languor' that Is aston
ishing.
After looking over these stories today Mr..
Bonaparte gave out the following state
ment:
'Tn SO far as the publications in question
reflect on me personally do not care to
say anything at all about them But they
reflect by implication upon my subordinates
as well. since they allege In substance that
the work of the entire department is Ian
guild and Ineffective: and 1t Is my duty. as
It's head, to pronounce this statement q
bald falsehood, originating either in malice
or else in gross and willful ignorance Of the
facts. The work Of the department In
creases every day, and do not believe 1t
has ever received more Jealous and faith
full attention than 1t receives now from the
officers and employees of the department,
with the exception, of course. of the At
torney General himself. I do not indeed.
consider it any part OF the department
duty to furnish a liberal daily supply OF
headlines for newspapers, and the depart
ment is not administered with that laudable
end in view. But for this opinion and its
practical application no one Is responsible
or should be blamed but my unworthy
SELF"
