GUST POLICE

AS the result a conference last
night between Chief of Police Burke
and Division Superintendent J. j.
Getting and Superintendent Burke,
two officials Of the Public Service
Railway Company, another test of
the free transportation controversy
will be made today. Chief Burke

that conductors had ben instructed
to eject non-uniformed police Off
cials from the company's cars on
their refusal to pay fare. He was
further informed that the reason for
his not being put off on the previous

gained for by the city council subse-
quent to its meeting Monday night.
The lots are located on the proposed
extension of Convery place from the
Leh1gh Valley railroad tracks to

ly started proceedings against the
same man for $4,000 for alleged as

wood, they set upon her and admin
istered an alleged beating. She

SCHEDULE FOR
NEW TROLLEY
LINE PLANNED

Preparations for the opening of
the new Jersey Central trolley line
between this city and South Amboy
arc rapidly taking form The CON
tractors have all necessary mater ial
on hand and the work is being
rushed towards completion. Owing
to the large amount of work left un-
done, superintendent Dimmock
found 1t impossible, after an inspec-
tton this morning. to run clrs this
afternoon. His original intentions
were to have started the cars run
ming to accommodate Saturday shop-
pers today, but 1t now appears that
none Will run before Tuesday.
Officials of the Jersey Central
Traction Company have a schedule
in the course of preparation AS has
been told, the cars will run on a
half-hour headway from South Am
boy to this city and to Woodbridge
creek. AS they enter Smith street
from Davidson avenue, they will run
behind one of the Public Service
cars to the city's northerly boundary
line. Thus, every second Public
Service car will be followed by a
Jersey Central conveyance.
An official of the Public Service
Railway Company said this morning
that no matter what schedule the
Jersey Central concern may adopt,
its cars, when on any part of the
Public Service lines, must be run in
accordance with the existing sched-
ule adopted by the Public Service.

WHILE BATHING

Five Companions Stand Help

employees OF A STATEN
ISLAND MILk DEALER

Michael Norton, T. nty-fve years
old, and Thomas Murphy, twenty
two years old. Il 3rers employed by
e. T. Tillinghas.. milk dealer at
Prince Bay, S. l., while bathing at
Seguine Point, s. l., near the 8. s.
White Dental Works, about 7:15
o'clock last night, were drowned.
The two men, with five other la
borers about the Tillingb"st farm,
decided after they had eaten their
Buppers that they would go for a
swim in the bay The Tillinghast
farm is only short distance from
the water and there are not many
themselves of their clothing, they
all started for the water at the same
time. The tide being low, the men
had to walk out considerable dis
tance before they reached the wa
ter. Norton and Murphy, who were
in the lead, went too far out and
stepped off the channel bank.
1t Is not known whether either Of
the two men could swim. Murphy
.was the first to disappear. He came
up first and it is thought. in his
struggle that he pulled Norton un-
der with him. The others set up
a cry for help, but they were pow
erless to save their comrades. Sew
eral boats put off from shore in the
direction of the dental works, but
could not recover the men.
Captain G. G. Wincapaw, of
Prince Bay, with power boat and
several others, organized a search
! ing party and grappled for the two
bodies until dark, when they had to
give it up until today. The bodies
had not been recovered up until this
morning.
Murphy was nude and Norton had
on pair Of underdrawers for a
bathing suit. The place where the
two men were drowned is about the
same spot where two young women
from Manhattan went down in the
same manner and were drowned a
year ago.
The names of the five others who
were with the unfortunate men are:
John Birsline, Arthur Burguss, Tim
othy Sronon. Tony Peterson and
Patrick MCGOWAN.
All seven men were secured Sc

HOW CAPTAIN
IDENTIFIED
DR.. CRIPPEN
gSscsal BY United Press wsre.

SreciaI by United Press Wire.
Father Point, Quebec, July 30:-
Despite the government embargo up
on private and press messages from
the steamer Montrose, upon which
DR.. H. H. Crippen and Miss Leneve,
unaware of the reception awaiting
them, are slowly steaming toward
Father Point, further details of how
Captain Kendall identified the cou-
pie have come to light
Captain Kendall's suspicious were
first aroused when he saw Crippen
pressing the hand of his "son" in
manner he thought not quite nat
ural. Then he investigated. He
found the sons" hat stuffed with
paper hanging upon the rack when
the suspects went to lunch. A SAT-
Identification. The detective-captain
discovered, when the wind blew the
sons" coat aside, that his trousers
were pulled tightly together with a
s. -ety pin. Later Captain Kendall
observed that Robinson. Sr.," car
ried revolver In his hip pocket. He
made no effort to disarm him, fear
ing to arouse suspicion.
The steamer Laurentic, which
brought Inspector Dew here, has
passed on toward GU &C.
While the big White Star liner rolled
quietly before the lighthouse taking
on pilot the following was handed
over the side by a newspaper man
travelling on the Laurentic who had
previously been advised of the interest
taken in the Crippen case by wireless:
Several passengers tackled Dew on
the Crippen case. He was absolutely
not to be drawn out. He kept very
much to himself during the voyage
and did not speak to half dozen per-
sons. A prominent Toronto man was
one of the first to fix Dew's identity.
He was very anxious to break the
ships rule by getting off at Rimouski,
and Dew no sooner heard of the man
who expressed a desire to leave the
ship than he was up on deck to look
the passenger over. The Toronto man
was greatly amused at the incident.
AN American woman then clinched
the identity question. Very gnilessly
in Dews hearing she said to fellow
passenger; "Who is that little pale
| man on board who wears the blue
srectacles. l have never seen him
before" Dew was all ears and eyes
at this and showed great interest The
little man happened to be a western
lawyer. 1t is evident from this that
| the clew which brings him across the
water is not quite convincing enough
to prevent him from seeking else
where for his man. In England the
opinion is generally expressed that the
world is too small for Crippen to hide
for all time, and detectives express
the utmost confidence that he will be
eventually run down.
mo less than six murders in London
closely followed the Crippen crime,
and while several had extremely In
teresting phases, the public would talk
OF nothing but the Crippen case. Ev-
cry small boy In England is fired with
the ambition to gather in Scotland
Yards f250 reward, and newsboys In
London can frequently be seen track
ing down men who, in their opinion,
answer Crippen's description"
