Berry BLameS
Antiquated Cars
And Poor Wages

William Z. Berry. Of Rockville. said
today that he believed the company
rather than the employees was respon-
sible for the wreck. Mr.. Berry declares
the company operates antiquated and
dilapidated rolling stock and the method
of stopping the large cars with hand
brakes makes it impossible TO stop
within % to 100 yeards.
The cars are unfit for passenger
service" said Mr. Berry this morning.
They cracked up like egg shells last
night They are old, and passengers
take their lives IN thei- hands when
they ride in them
Il believe the company is criminaIIy
negligent because green men are given
the through cars running over a single
track. when men 81 long experience are
placed on the cars operated over double
tracks between Georgetown and Somer-
set. Nd.
There should be a law in the Dis
t,Ict and Maryland compelling all sub
urban lines 10 provide the cars with air
brakes. win which the cars can be
stopped githiH a reasonable distance.
The law should require that the lines
should he COuble-tTacked.
Salaries paid the employees OF this
road are 50 low that a good man viii
not remain with Il any longer than Is
absolutely necessary
Mr.. Eerry's remarks are echoed by
many other patrons OF the line.

on this score.
Theory of Collision.
The theory OF the accident as ad-
vanced by the company is to the ef-
feet that the car from Rockville was
proceeding along the line with due eau
ton and that the car from the Wash
inSton end of the line was being run
In utter disregard Of ali signals. When
the heavy grade near Quits station
was reached the full speed clutch was
thrown on to make the ascent of the
hill at good speed. Coming from the
north was the car from Rockville, under
heavy grade. II Is thought that this
car was only making about ten miles
an hour and the other about eighteen
miles an hour up grade when the col
hSlon occurred. A heavy fog was pre-
Vdiling at the time and the motornen
OF the cars could not see ten feet be
fore them.
According to the eyewitnesses, the
mOtOrman on the south bound car and
the conductor and mOtoTmau on the
north bound car, as soon as they saw
a collision inevitable, reversed the speed
levers and jumped. the cars coming to-
gether in violent collision a second
later Both cars were badly smashed
and the iron supports under the plat
forms badly twisted
Relief cars from Washington were
despatched TO the scene ard the injured
brought to the Georgetown Hospital,
where they received treatment.

Man Held in England
Tells of Duping Unsus-
pecting Women,

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Evening News
published today the first installment of
an autobiography of Arthur Hyns. or
Hynes the bigamist. who was sentenced
yesterday at Bristol 10 seven years
penal servitude In the autobiography.
which was written in 1906, Hynes says:
Il give the real facts of all my wrong
dCings."
The document shows that Hynes' real
name is +. A. Schotz. Among the
aliases he has borne are Weston and
Witzhof The headlines TO the auto
biography were written by Hynes him
self and read:
WITzHoFF TELLS LIFE STORY,
The Nan With Thirty Names and
Thirty-two Wives. Bigamy as
Means OF livelihood.
In short preface the writer says
there is no truth in the reports that he
possessed 100 wives, He married only
Lhirty-tWO women.
In his remarkable narrative, Hynes
says he was born in NeufchateI. Switz-
erland. in 1854, and emigrated to the
United States in 1881. He was auoren-
ticed 10 dentistry IN Philadelphia. Aft
erward ne pracJiced with an associate
Both were arrested for malpractice. and
palced under bonds of 5000 each.
II was the friend who proved Schotz s
bond who suggested marriage as a
means Of repaying the writer. Schotz
then gives a list Of the many women he
married, and from whom he secured all
the money ne could and then abandoned
them, sometimes on the day after mar
riage. When he returned TO Europe he
continued TO seek fresh wives. The
father of one of his Italian wives dis
coevTed his sOn-iu-law's guilt and the
two fought with daggers. The bigamist
was stabbed twice.
AfterWdrd he returned to New York
and started practice on Lexington ave-
nue.. Thence he went TO St. Louis,
Washington, Chicago, Detroit. Cincin-
natl, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and elsh-
where, defrauding women whenever he
found an opportunity.
The most money Re obtained from any
of his wives was from his first wife
VINO was named Russell, and whom he
married in Montreal in 1896. He COS

Business of Last Year
Trade Boards Theme
Second Session of the Year Devoted Largely
to Reports From the Various Committees
on Progress Made.

That 10000 visitors. came to Washing
ton over the Washington and Norfolk
Steamship line during the jamestown
Exposition. and that these visitors
spent more than million dollars here.
was the startling statement made by D.
J. Callahan at the second meeting Of
the year held by the Board of Trade
last night at Rauscher's. The statement
was made during the. discussion Of the
report Of the committee on transp0rta-
ton. Mr.. Callahan said that If each
visitor spent but 1888 while in the city.
the amount of cash left here by these
travellers was 81, OO0. 600
Mr.. Callahan's statement was pro
vOked by a paragraph IN the report of
the committee to the effect that a nsw
line OF steamers had been establishes
between this port and Norfolk, and that
the new line fills a much-needed want
for the merchants and shippers of
Washington" Mr.. Callahan showed
that there was no such line in exist
ence, and objected TO the Board Of
Trade going on record as indorsing any
such erroneous statement.
Albert NJ. Read. chairman of the com
mittee on parks, prefaced the reading
or his report by saying that he had
been unable 70 get quorum OF his com
mittee together at any of the three
meetings last year. Two OF the twenty

that this is not the only committee o.

Dr. William Tindau seconded Mr..
Reads position by suggesting that his
remarks be quoted IN the minutes. so
that members would be reminded at the
next meeting.
The committee urged that the board
reafflrm its action OF Endorsement OF
the bills for parks before Congress. Be

Did she have the neces- sary romancel If she did, then all was well; if she didn't, then alas! It has been stated that Miss Sarah did have romance and dotted on it, but the next thing was to prove it to the actor. She took two days to cogitate and then went ahead. The hotel was surround ed by woods on three sides One morning Miss Sarah left the whimper- ing dog and the bowling children be- hind and started for the green wood and was soon lost to sight. She would be missed, searched for, found and be talked of as romantic.
 Miss Sarah was missed. The idea was that she had been drowned. More than half the guests turned out to drag the bottom of the lake. The actor was not one of them. Coincident with the alarm he had been told by fat wom- an that Miss Sarah hadn't dollar to her name
 One woman asserted her belief that the missing female had eloped with a tin peddler that had been seen driving past the hotel at an early morning hour, and in her excitement another woman said that any young lady that would leave a dog and two children to weep and wall by themselves should be severely dealt with on her return, dead or alive. These opinions were express ed to the actor for the purpose of drawing him out. but he refused to be drawn. He had just sat down to mint julep with two straws in it, and why worry?
