COMMISSION ASKS
GAS co. TO PAY DAMAGES,
Claims That COmpany's Pipes
Caused Killing of Trees.

AS the result of recent devastatishs
OF a tree disease, the effect of H.
Eliminating gas on the tree roots, the
Shade Tree Commission today sent
notice to the Public Service Gas Com
pany suggesting as a basis of settle
ment that the company pay $40 for
every tree destroyed by this disease.
The Shade Tree Commission will then
put in clean soil and plant new trees
on the sites Of the dead ones.
1t Is the claim of the Shade Tree
Department that through some defect
in the pipes of the gas company, the
gas escapes and taints the ground and
the nourishment that the trees take
in. In some cases, the Shade Tree
Commission claims, the gas has perco-
lated 1000 feet through the ground to
the roots of the trees. Their theory
in explanation of this is that the pipes
of the P. S. C. are bearing heavier
pressure of gas than they were origin
ally intended for. This the Public
Service denies, claiming that the gas
pressure throughout the city is uni
form, and that it Is even ridiculous to
assume that the iron pipes would leak
through increased pressure Of a light
gas, If that were the case.
Some Of the streets Oh which the
trees have been literally asyphyxiated
follow: South Broad street, Il trees;
Summer avenue, 10 trees; Hawthorne
avenue, IA trees; Fabyan place. Bloom
field avenue. Bergen street, West Side
park. Belmont venue. Mount Pleasant
avenu and Garside street.

HIDDEN BY CORN
FIELD, TRAIN HITS
AUTO KILLS FIVE
All Victims of Grade Crossing
Accident Were Residents
of Baltimore.

CAPE MAY, Aug. 10.-Five persons
were crushed to death last night when
an express train on the Pennsylvania
railroad dashed into an automobile at
Mill lane crossing on the West Jersey
and Seashore railroad. The automobile
was torn to pieces, while the bodies Of
the occupants were scattered along the
tracks. The victims of the horrible
tragedy follow:
Frederick w. Feldner, A years old.
Nc. 244 Eutaw place, Baltimore, men,
Der of the law firm of Feldner- Weaver,
Fidelity building.
Mrs. Mollie Feldner, his wife, for
merly Miss Rausch.
Mrs. Doris Mergenthaler, 20 years
old, his daughter. who married Fritz
L. Mergenthaler on June s last.
Fritz L.. Mergenthaler, rs years old,
g%enthaler. now residing at Normandy
Heights.
Paul Jones, chauffeur.
Jewelry, including rings and watches,
baggage and other personal effects were
scattered in all directions, while the
impact Of the collision was so great that
1t broke the piston CT lie locomotive
and the iron steps leading into the cab.
Farmers and others living near by
were quickly on the scene, and Coroner
George H. Reeve was informed and
took charge of the bodies and had them
removed to the morgIe at Cape May,
where they will remain until after an
inquest.
The crossing is a double one, and both
the. Pennsylvania and Reading rail-
roads cross at grade within twenty
feet. 1t is almost impossible to see
approaching trains on account of a high
cornfield, and the absence of safety
gates and f1agmen added to the danger.
The Feldner party was on it's way from
Atlantic City to the Cape May Hotel,
where a special engage nent had beer
made for dinner, and it is presumed
that the chauffeur did not hear the
rumbling Of an approaching train. Train
No. 13, in charge of &c Jrge Taylor, con-
ductor, and Joseph Wheaton, engineer,
had left the Market street ferry at 4:0S
p. m, and was due to arrive at the
resort at SAB o'clock.
Wheaton is grief-stricken over the
accident. Immediately after his run he
went to his home in West Cape May.
Conductor Taylor said hat Wheaton
had sounded the usual blast on his
whistle some 800 yards north of the
crossing, and could mo- understand how
the chauffeur had not heard 1t.
Eye-witnesses said that the Feldner
car was moving slowly, but failed tc
take warning by another automobile
which had stopped for the train &c
pass by, and moved on to its fate. i.

GOES BOARDER'S BAIL;
WANTS HER MONEY BACK.

The discharging of blank cartridges
late at night by Tony Demorski, 20
years old, Of 236 South street, was
responsible for no small stir in the
Third Precinct Police Court today.
Demorski was arrested Saturday
night by Patrolman ]. A. Miller and
locked up for discharging blank cart
ridges in the street at Ii o'clock. Mrs.
Julia Crea, his clearinghouse mistress,
aroused Counsel John Francis Cahill
from his slumbers and put up $50 with
him, who, in turn. paid over the money
to the desk-sergeant at the Third Pre-
cinct for the mans release until Mon
day morning. The money was then
given to Captain Christie who, accord
ing to Judge Hahn today, should have
turned it over to the court clerk The
captain locked the money in his desk.
Domorski was today held under $500
bail to await the action of the grand
jury on Monday morning. A change OF
counsel on the part Of Mrs. Crea, who
was ~championing Domorskfs cause,
made matters more complicated. .
Mrs. Crea appeared before Judge
Hahn today seeking advise as TO how
she could get her money back. After
explaining her story, the Judge was
surprised to hear that the money was
not in the hands of the clerk, and ex-
pressed himself thus.
Later on Captain Christie made his
appearance and fully enlightened those
present with the facts of the situation
and everyone was satisfied, with tn
exception of Plainclothesman Brex
who, when the reporters refused t.
suppress the details. declared he woult
have one Of them transferred from
that station house.

COURT JAILS PARENTS
FOR MALTREATING TOTS.

Convicted on charges of frequently
maltreating their two children, Hem
rietta, 3 years old, and Agnes, Q years
old, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gassert, who
live at 124 Howard street, were sent to
jail today in default of $50 fine imposed
by Judge Herr in the Fourth Precinct
Court. The two children were turned
over to Jared w. Kimbail, secretary Of
the Children's Aid Society, who made
the complaint.
Several neighbors were called in by
Mr.. Kimball TO substantiate his case.
They testified that the Gasserts were
frequently intoxicated and that their
children were in constant, cringing fear
of them. 1t was said the children
would often seek refuge from the
maudlin wrath of their parents in
n~eighbors' homes.
Judge Herr, who recognized the man
as an old offender, cross-questioned
him on his past. The man admitted
that he had been arrested for drunken
ness several times during the past few
months.
The two tots bore evidence of the
-maltreatment they had suffered in
bruises and welts hat covered their
bodies. Besides being beaten, they
were often for days without anything
to eat except what the neighbors gave
them.

PAYS PENALTY IN CHAIR.

TRENTON, Aug. 10.-Pietro Silverio
last night, in the electric chair in the
State Prison, paid the penalty for kill
ing Mrs. Rose Guarino. at Midvale,
Passaic County. in June, 1909.
Silverio Walked to the death chair
without a murmur.
His case was carried into the higher
courts against his wishes. as he said
from the first that he was guilty and
ready to die for his crime. Silverio
worked for Mrs. Guarino and was dis
charged because OF drunkenness. In
revenge for his discharge he went to
the Guarino house one evening, shot
at and wounded an italian servant
girl, installing her for Mrs. Guarino.
A moment later when the mistress,
attracted by the shooting, appeared
Silverio shot and instantly killed her.

is responsible for most ailments. There
are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged, the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing b%iliousness, in

produces rheumatism and kidney all

KEEPERS ACCUSED
OF KILLED FOR
MONEY, SURPRISED

through his nephew, wished to be put
or record as saying that the shooting
affair at the Jail did not occur as the
guards say it did.
Henry Pomerehne, a lawyer Of 1876
Market street, has charge Of the
case. At first he was undecided as to
whether he ought to sue the officials
of the Essex County jail or the men
who were implicated In the affair. He
finally decided that the simplest thing
to do was to sue the men.
At the time the shooting occurred
Caprio was held without bsii for al
legged completely in the murder of Sal
vatore Borecea; his trial was to have
come up on the goth of August. 1t Is
alleged that the keepers tried to get
the $500 from him and promised him HE
freedom. He, however, declined to
discuss the offer. saying that he would
be freed by a jury because he was in
nocent.
The shooting took place early in the
morning when the Italian keeper was
off duty. This, too. say the friends OF
Caprio, is a significant circumstance.
Efforts are being made to communi-
cate with the two children who are in
Europe. Their names are Mary, IA
years old, and Pats, 10 years old. The
two. boys in this country are Louis, 10
and Michael II. Both make their home
with their uncle, Nichola Racioppi, at
101 Seventh avenue.
AT the county jail the only one of
the keepers who could be seen was
Matthew ]. Smith. News that a suit
is to be brought against them was a
complete surprise to him.
Refuses to Discuss Shooting.
He refused to discuss the shooting,
saying hat it would be unwise to
make any statement at this time, ex-
cept &c say that the account of the
affair as given by the STAR Of that
date was as correct as 1t could pos
sibly have been. Mr.. Smith said that
he did not know Caprio had SO large
a sum as $500 with him, and was GER
tain that the other guards were ig-
norent OF that fact also.
He admitted that, It was possible for
him to have that sum-. as the officials
do not deprive the prisoners Of their
money unless they voluntarily give 1t
up. What puzzled the keeper was how
the man succeeded in hiding the money
at the time he was searched.
This sure is a surprise" said Smith.
"It is unlikely, that a man of Caprio's
financial standing had so much money
In his pockets and the charge that the
keeper tried to get 1t from him is pre-
posterous. I don't want to be put on
record for saying anything about this
case, but that $500 is a surprise, I never
heard of it before"
