P|L|NC Of Amb0Y BRIDGE
IS SETTLING GRADUALLY
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM AGAIN
IN ORDER AFTER CITY WAS IN
DANGER FOR SEVERAL DAYS

Because the wire chief of the local
Office of the New York & New Jersey
Telephone Company forgot to wind
up the fire alarm system, SO the
offcials of the fire department assert,
was the reason that the fire alarm
would not sound and through his
neglect the whole city was in danger
of burning before an alarm could be
sent In, for the past few days.
The trouble has been located and
the alarm is now all right again.
Chief Mullen turned In an alarm
from the box at New Brunswick ave-
nue. and New street at 11:20 o'clock
this morning and everything worked
well. This was done as a test.
As told in the NEWS the other
day, the alarm was found to be out
OF order and efforts to locate the
trouble were of little avail and the
telephone company, which has
charge of the system, was notified by
Chief Mullen.
Last night some members of Pro-
lection Hook & Ladder Company,
under the leadership of Foreman
Edward Dilts, decided to go to the
alarm tower and find out, If possible,
II the bell could be rung, in case of
fire, by pulling the rope. Foreman
Dilts found that the weights of the
alarm were on the floor and that the
chain was slack, which indicated that
the alarm had not been attended to

Important Central Train Taken
OFF, Causing Inconvenience
10 Many Local Men.
BIG DIFFERENCE IN ARRIVAL

Z A large number of local people
who go to business in New York daily
are put to great Inconvenience by the
changes in the Central railroad
schedule by which the express train
leaving here at 7:44 o'clock in the
morning was withdrawn yesterday.
Commuters, who have been going
to the city on the 7:44, now have the
alternative of leaving here on the
1917, almost half-hour earlier or
of taking the 1865. The latter is of
no use to the majority of them, how
ever, as 1t does not get them to New
York until nearly a half-hour later
than the 7:44 formerly did. They
do not relish the idea of starting out
a half-hour earlier every morning,
and yet their duties, in most cases,
require them to be at their places of
business much earlier than they can
reach there by committing on the
1855.
Some of them threaten to change
to other railroads unless some bet
ter means Of accommodating them is
provided for between now and the
end Of the month, Friday of this
week.

for some days. Further investiga.
I, tion by the firemen showed that the
alarm chain was full of dirt and that
1t must have been months since IL
was cleaned. The matter was re-
ported to Chief Mullen and he went
to the Office of the New York & New
Jersey Telephone Company, where he
succeeded in getting a man to wind
up the alarm.
The wire chief denied today that
the trouble was UP to him or that
the alarm system had been out of
order at all. The reporter who was
with Chief Mullen at the time the
alarms were sent in from boxes the
other day, and the bell and whistles
both failed to sound, told the wire
chief this, but he still said the sys-
tenn was never out of order, but ad-
mitted that an inspector had looked
over 1t yesterday.
Chief Mullen admits that the sys-
tenn is not what it should be and is
not looked after properly. Mayor
Bollschweiler, when told of the con-
dition of affairs by a NEWS man,
said he would take the matter up at
once and that he would see to it that
the telephone people lived up to the
agreement with the city.

MAY NOT CUT
COAL PRICES

Instead Of reducing the price Of
anthricite coal so cents a ton April
1, as for a number of years has been
the custom, the coal interests, 1t Is
now said, contemplate maintaining
the present price.
Last April when the price of coal
went down work was on the docks.
as a result, and, at times, it was
found necessary to put extra men to
handle the great rush
An official of one of the companies
said:
''The plan of reducing the price Of
coal on April l and advancing it at
the rate of 10 cents a month until
the winter price is reached was de-
cided on for the purpose of listribut-
ing the production and marketing of
coal as nearly as possible over the
entire year. 1t has been found that
buyers hold back their orders in the
first two or three months of the year
and then enter the market with a
rush on the the first of April.
Moreover, quite apart from this
consideration, 1t is true that the min.
ing of coal is becoming more expen-
sive from year to year, and 1t has
reached point now where perhaps
the coal roads would be justified In
the reduction in price
which customarily has been made on
April l and in maintaining coal at
one price throughout the year"
AS against this view, the point Is
being made that the unusually mild
winter this years seems to make this
an inopportune one in which to adopt
such a change of policy.

In the Thaw case today. r. q. Ling
ley, a public accountant, and Mayer
Cohen, music publishing house
manager, both eye witnesses of the
shooting, testified that Thaw appear
ed perfectly rational after shooting
White.
After several more witnesses had

after the shooting a short recess was
taken in order that counsel and the
court could arrange for an agree
ment. doing away with the necessity
of a court session at Blackwell's
Island penitentiary to hear the testi-
mony of Abe Hummel.
After the recess Mr.. Littleton con-
sented that Hummel's evidence at the
first trial and Evelyn Nesbit's affida-
Wit alleged to have been made in
Hummel's office, reciting certain acts
of Thaw while she was travelling
with him in Europe prior to their
marriage, be read to the Jury. Jer-
ONE consented that Thaw's will con-
tanning many strange bequests be
admitted as evidence.
Jerome announced he would call
no medical experts in rebuttal.
1t Is likely now that the case will
go to the jury Wednesday.

batting the expert witnesses for the

at the time he killed Stanford White
was suffering from such a defect of
reason as not to know the nature or
quality Of his act or that the act was
wrong.
1t was left to Justice Dowling to
make a most important inquiry of the

act nature of manic Oppressive" IN
sanity and If the attacks were likely
to recur. He also asked if a person
suffering from this form of insanity
would be likely to commit assaults.
He learned that it was a recurrent
form OF mental disorder, the attacks
coming suddenly and without warning,
a period Of insanity being followed by
maniacal outburst, then by q period
of complete depression and then by
another lucid interval 1t seemed that
the presiding judge was securing infor-
nation upon which to predicate judi
cial action in the event Of verdict
Of not guilty on the ground of insanity
or of straight acquittal. Even in the
latter event, 1t was pointed out JUS
tice Bowling would have the right to
