MR.. vREELAND's CAREER.
Mr.. vreeland rose from the bottom of the lad
der He owed his first place on the street railway
system 10 William c. Whitney. who discovered
him as a brakeman the Long Island Rail-
road took fancy TO him and brought him over
10 the transit lines. He worked his way up
from conductor through the various positions
until he became superintendent, then manager
OF the Metropolitan system and finally president
and an officer and director in the various sub
sidiary lines when went 10 make up lAe ois
system.
He took prominent part in the negotiations
which led TO the consolidation of the various
lines. He had complete charge for many
wears Of the operation and all features con-
nected with the practical side Of the companys
affairs He IL was who laid out routes and ar
ranged the connections between the lines.
His ability as an executive and organizer was
recognized by all who did business with the
companfes. Then too he could get along better
and easier with the companies employees, the
conductors and motormen. than any other off,
ciaI He was regarded by the men as one of
themselves and IN any trouble he was able TO
negotiate pacific settlement
Toward the latter end OF his service Mr.
vraeIand has been attacked bitterly one of
the ring" Especially bitter We're the attacks
launched - William n. Amory. some of whose
hollis were so violent that Mr.. Nreeland replied
savaCely. Mr. Amory about four or five years
apo sued him for criminal libel. The campaign
between Amory and the Metropolitan Street
Railway which followed gave rise 10 the en-
nIovmeut Of detectives 10 watch the plaintiu.
SO Lemuel r Quigg testified few days ago
Hearings in the case brought forth accusa-
ttons that funds amounting to SS0.O00,OOO had
baan rntsused that accounts were juggled, that
charges for identification were many thousands
of dollars a mile higher than they should be
and that false accounts were used TO conceal
transactions probably criminal
MAGISTRATE Barlow before whom the
heard threw out the complaint on technicali-
tias and though that particular suit was not
renewed. Mr. Amory since then has lost
opportunity to fight the Metropolitan and Mr..
Vreeland.

Washington, March 13.--California
has abandoned her policy of neglect IN
observing pledges made by its repre-
sentatives in Washington Governor
Gillett telegraphed the president that
the legislature had adjourned, and that
none of the obnoxious measures would
become laws. Mayor Schmitz has no.
titled the president that the school
board will take action without further
delay in accordance with the agree
ment reached in Washington. 1mme-
diately upon receipt Of the mayors
dispatch the president sent response
congratulating the mayor upon the
proposed action and the people of Call

question, on the ground that it ls not
proper rebuttsl'
Before the court could rule, however,
Delmas put further questions to the
witness, which had reference to the
payments he received from White for
his legal services. The amount for this
particular item Of service, witness said,
was about 500
lection.
1T is not rebnttal.' said Delmas, sit
is also immaterial, irrevelant and not
proper testimony"
jerome proceeded to argue the points
of law involved.
Point Unsettled, Court Adjourns.
IF her story is true" said Jerome,
Il know of nothing in history or lit
erature more sublime than Evelyn
Nesbit's self-sacrifice in her renuncia-
tion of the low. of the man who. we
are told. was paying honorable court
to her. But SHE returned to America
October "a, and on October 81 she was
in Hummel's office with the man who
she now says ruined her. There she
said that in Europe Thaw had stripped
her and beat her with whip. because
she refused to sign papers accusing
White of drugging her and ravishing
her. White, she said, never harmed
her"
Jerome then read a large number of
decisions bearing on the subject OF the
Introduction OIL evidence to show that
the witness has made statements out
of court which do not agree with state
TO, ~ pfo In q
he declared, TIE courts have held that
when the attention OF the witness is
properly calle,; to contradictory
statement made out of court. it is
competent to bring in rebuttal to prove
the statements,
"The proposition make to the court
is very simple continued Jerome. IF
Evelyn Nesbit did not tell Thaw this
story in Paris the reason for his in
sanity disappears. If she did not tell
the story, the hypothetical question on
which the experts have based their
opinion, disappears. I contend that
under the law and under the author
tiles 1 have quoted, I have the right
to show that this woman made the
statement outside of court, but under
oath, that she did not tell Thaw. which
would nos agree to any such story as
she has told here"
Jerome sat down and Delmas arose.
He said that as the hour for luncheon
recess was approaching. and as Jer-
ONES argum ent necessitated an ex-
tended reply he would ask that a re-
cess be taken. Jerome amended the
motion by asking for adjournment un-
til tomorrow, to permit him to form a
hypothetical question to be put to the
experts. Justice Fitzgerald thereupon
ordered an adjournment until tomor-
row morning.

Industrial Shares Thrown on
the Market With Orders to
Sell at Any Price
WESTERN RAILROADS HIT HARD
Reading Leads the List in the Slump
Selling Down Twelve Points No
Buyers at Decreased Prices-Rumor
Points to Foreign centers as Re-
sponsibIe, Money Being Needed.

New York, March 13.-Another break
in the stock market soon after the be-
ginning of operations today revived
the nervous feeling prevailing during
the weak period last week. There
were no new developments to account
for the heavy selling. but it was gem
orally attributed to immediate needs OF
the money market. Conditions became
panicky by noon and prices melted
away in demoralized fashion under
forced liquidation by calling of loans,
wiping out of margins and throwing
upon the market collateral in loans.
The severest losses We're in high grade
railroad stocks, especially those in the
western region. The Hill group, irl-
Guiding Great Northern ore certificates,
dropped about ten points each, Cana
dian Pacific seven. Reading six and
three quarters Union Pacific, Brooklyn
Transit, Northwestern and Amalga-
mated Copper between five and six
points. Losses thruOut the list ran to
various figures up to three points and
over. Call money loaned at u " per
cent about noon.
Fluctuations became very wild in
the early afternoon, heavy blocks OF
stock being thrown upon the market
indiscriminately for what they would
bring. Reading dropped IL points. Un-
ion Pacific 8 and Amalgamated Cop
per 7ss. In navy of the most active
stocks efforts to sell found practically
no bids in the market. Shorts were
the only buyers, their occasional lpur-s
chases being lost in the floor OF c0n-
tinued liquidation.
Many selling orders were for execu-
| ton at market prices without specifi
cation as to prices, which thus added
materially to the de moralization. Bank
clerks were busy watching the DOWN
ward plunge Of prices with view to
the value of collateral in loans and
selling out of such collateral was am
additional burden on the market
Enormous shrinkage in values was
unmistakable evidence of losses In
Cured and attention was alert for any
news of embarra ssments. Such rum
ors as were in circulation were gems
eral and did not point to specif1ca-
ton.
Foreign banking and commissions
houses were besieged for information.
The impression was general that the
source of trouble was abroad. There
were reports of embarrassments in the
Industrial world in Germany. German
banking houses deprecated these ru-
mors and took a moderate view Of the
Berlin situation, which was said in fact
to be somewhat improved today.
Advices from the London market
were not so reassuring, the condition
there having been reported in de-
moralization bordering on that Of our
own Arbitrage brokers were sellers OF
stocks on an enorm GUS scale and were
largely influential in demoralizing the
market.
The market closed nervous and sun-.
settled. Covering operations by bears
rallied the market 3@4 points.
