TWENTIETH CENTURY DETAILED
Passengers on New York Central Had
 Narrow Escape.

Utica, N. Y, Jan. 25.-Running at fast speed past the signals which warned the engineer to slow down in order to cross to another track, the Men York Central railroads Twentieth Century Limited train, composed of eight cars, bound from Chicago to New York, was derailed ats 40 a. m. today, at a switch near St. Johnsvi1le./ Not a passenger was injured but the engi- neer, John Scanlon, and the fireman, Melvin J. Handville, both of Syracuse, were killed.
 A delayed train on the track ahead of the limited made it necessary to switch the fast train to another tcack. A towerman set the warning signals, but the swift express went by them and took the switch at full speed. The locomotive was completely overturned and slid more than 300 feet before it stopped. The engineer was thrown from the cab and the fireman crushed under the boiler. The cars were thrown off their trucks, but remained upright across the tracks. The sleeping pas sengers suffered only jar and were soon forwarded on other trains The tracks were blocked for some time.

Chambers of Commerce in Several Cities Alarm
 ed by the Critical Situation
NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE IN SESSION
ppeals to that Body Urging the State Department to Re- cede from Its Position that American Cattle and Beef Must be Admitted to Germany - Commission to Settle Dispute Suggested.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Alarmed by the critical turn in the tariff contro- Versy between the United States and Germany, appeals from the chambers or commerce and boards of trade of several cities were made to the na- tionaI board of trade in session here today, urging that body to recommend to the government that the state de- partment recede from its position that American beef and cattle must be ad- mitted to Germany, if the trade be- tween the two nations, representing $5SO,OOO,OOO year to American busi- ness houses. IS not to be subjected to the effects of tariff war.
 No Advantage in Insisting on German
 Market for Beef.
 !, Resolutions presented to the national body maintain there can be no ad- ket for American beef, because the home consum ption is increasing a. such rate as to soon to command all the supply, and in support of this it is cited that American cattle exports have decreased by the millions It is pointed out that the agrarian party in control of the reichstag. has stood for the principle that the farmers of Ger many must supply its beef and that the imperial government could not ad- mt the American product if it would.
 Condition Most Grave.
 A commission to settle the dispute is suggested sand President Lalanne Of the national board of trade, sounding the note of alarm in his annual ad- dress, spoke of Fhe condition as most grave in fact, threatening a great por- ton of the mercantile interests of the United States.
 The last negotiations by the state department leave the next move I'D to Germany. If this government insists that beef and cattle shall be admitted and the German emperor declines to yield, as it is said he must the inevi- table is seen in Germany being ex- cluded from those nations that will enjoy the minimum tarin provisions of

REDUCTION OF THE
 WESTERN FREIGHT RATES Causes Considerable Fear of Freight War in New Haven Circles.

-
 New Haven, Conn, Jan. 25.-Inquiry in railroad circles here shows that there is considerable fear Of a freight war owing to the announced reduction of the western freight rates from 75 cents to 69 cents per hundred, first class, on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the Erie routes. The effect of this is to equalize the rates with the rate on the two all-rail differ ential lines, the Ontario and Western and the New aven-Canadian Pacific routes, both of them controlled by the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. It may also affect the Grand Trunk route via Long Island sound and New London, which has en- joyed heretofore the lower rate of 65 cents per hundred. The matter now looked on with anxiety is whether the five other standard trunk lines will or will not meet the reduction of the Erie and LackaWanna. The reduced rate affects both classes and commodities of freights.
 Last year in a somewhat similar eXi- gency the New Haven raised its diff ferential rate from 65 to 69 cents at the request of the standard trunk lines.

 Made Him Dizzy
so MRS. sOMMERS REMOVED
 THEM FROM HER NECK.
PLACED THEM IN cHAMoIs BAG
Which She Laid on Dressing Table Gentleman Caller Took the Gems Held in $1o.0oo Bail.

 They'll be just as bright on the table as on my neck" protested Mrs. Somfners, spreading them out before That's true" admitted Giese.

It was there this morning, or one like it, but the diamonds were gone.

 on the telephone. He told her he was buying a s275 fur coat and the detec- tives rushed to the shop he named. Meanwhile Mrs. So1nmers kept him hanging to the other end of the wire until he was caught.
 Tried to Commit Suicide.
 When placed under arrest Giese tried to shoot himself with a ten-shot auto matic pistol, but the detectives were too quick for him. They found another revolver in his hotel room. loaded and full cooked. T always kept ready to go," Giese told them. "I knew 1t could not last long, but it has been high fly ing while it did" The diamonds were recovered and identified.

DIVIDENDS DECLARED BY
 U. s. STEEL CORPORATION.
Total Earnings for Year 1909 Amounted
 to $f31 ,47e,e75.

New York. Jan. 25.-In accordance with popular expectation, the directors of the United States Steel corporation made announcement today after the close of the stock market that divi- dends on the common shares of the corporation had reverted to the original rate of per cent. annually. They also declared a regular dividend of 1 per cent. and an extra dividend of 3-4 of 1 per cent" Dividends for the previ- ous quarters have been: For the first quarter, 1-2 of l per cent; for the sec ond, 3-4 of 1 per cent; for the third, l per cent, and today total of 1 3-4.
 Although an extra dividend has long been rumored in the market, the be- the day and more particularly toward the close in no way bore out the facts. According to the best information ob- tainable, there was a division of opin- ion among the directors and the out come was probably in doubt up to the time of the meeting. Rumor credits the Morgan faction in the board with having favored an extra dividend, but Chairman Gary declared after the meeting adjourned that action had been unanimous.
 The regular quarterly dividend of 1 3-4 per cent. was declared on the preferred shares. For the first time in the reports of the corporation there ap- peared an item of 8, 100000 to be taken from the reserve fund to cover ad- vanred mining royalties
