CONDUCTOR Whittlesey's, Motorman

nding Of a committee of men ap-

wait for the regular, instead Of hav-
ing been on the lookout.
Whittlesey violated orders again
in not informing Brakeman Trudell
of the contents of the orders so
that he could have prevented the
collision. Trudell stood on the
back end of the last coach and
knew that Campbell was speeding
past the ~" but, not. knowing the
orders, knew nothing of the irregu-
larity till it was too late.
The committee advances the
theory that Campbell misconstrued
the meaning of his orders and that
he was not keeping a close watch
on the track ahead, otherwise could
have seen the approach of the
regular fully 800 feet away and
could have prevented a collision
even at this stage by the proper
use of his emergency brakes and
reverse lever.

heard Mr.. Smith tell Mr.. Burns to
bail out some water that had come
intoTthe boat in some manner that
l cannot clearly understand, and
Mr.. Burns was dipping it out with
his hands as best he could while
Mr., Smith was rowing as hard as
he could to get to shore, when a
lot more water came in and we all
seemed to go down in an instant.
II leaped forward and seized Mr..
Smith around the neck and Maud
did the same with Mr.. Burns. Mr..
Burns, l understand, could not

QUEER CASE
IN COURTS
(By United Press.)

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-A remarkable
case is pending before the court
here. ~
In the year 1907 a young person
dressed like lady called on a law
yer and told him that she was be-
trothed to lady and meant to
marry her. She was really man,
and had been entered in the regis
tiers as girl by mistake. The law
yer advised her to procure medical
certificates to confirm the state
ment. The necessary steps were
taken at the place where she was
born to alter the register, the au-
thorities wer sympathetic, and
within two months the young lady
had legally become a man. The
only trouble was the Christian
name. The applicant had three
Christian names, obtained while q
girl. The young man volunteered
for military service, but was re-
jected as not sufficiently strong.
Subsequently, he became entan-
gled In another love affair. In Ga
licia, where he had gone on bust
ness, he had fallen in love with the
wife OF a merchant, whose husband
divorced her. The young man mar
ried her afterward in Vienna. The
couple came to Berlin, where the
wife died after Is months of bliss
full matrimony.
Then the troubles began. The
parents of the wife brought an &C.
ton to declare the marriage in
valid, because the husband was
woman, or had posed as such. They
claimed the return of all property.
The hearing of the case has been
adjourned.
