Passengers Have Narrow Escape
on Boston & Albany.

Newton. Mass. Sept. 2.-Several hundred
passengers on the noon express from Bos-

division Of the New York Central road.

way mail clerks. had narrow escape with
their lives to-day when the two locomotives
and four cars were deraied by an open
switch on the edge of the bridge beyond
the Riverside station, toppling almost into
the Charles River. Not more than half a
dozen persons were injured beyond bruises,
and only one of these. Charles P. Turner,
Of Maiden, a mail clerk, was hurt seriously.
His fractures Will soon mend, it is be-

Of the four cars derailed were nearly de-
molished, the smoking car, in which were
more than fifty persons, telescoping at right
angles the railway mail coach. in which
four clerks were penned. The wreck
blocked traffic Oh two tracks during the
afternoon and night. That part of the ex-
press which was not derailed was sent on

MAY SEND GIRL TO JAIL
Collected insurance to Help Her
Mother, Breaking Court Order.
HOLIDAY MAY DELAY ACTION
But Payment Of $1,000 or Stay
in Ludlow Street Are Her
Present Alternatives.

Every effort is being made to save Miss
Dorothy Philo Higgins, of Yonkers, from
Incarceration in Ludlow street jail. Miss
Higgins collected $500 on a fire insurance
policy following a fire in her mother
home. An order had been issued TO re-
strain her from taking the money, but she
got 1t despite the order. Judge Hough sew
eral days ago. in the United States District
Court, gave Miss Higgins until yesterday
to pay the money to tie referee In bank
ruptcy in charge Of her mothers affairs
or go to jail. The money was not paid.
William Fl. Freeman Is the referee The
bankrupt is Mrs. Elizabeth Warwick Brad
ner. She fled q voluntary petition last
February. Among the assets was an insur-
ance policy for $1,000 and claim for the
fire in the Yonkers home.
When the time came for a settlement OF
the estate 1t was learned that Mrs. Brad
ner had transferred her equity in the pol
icy over 10 her daughter by former mar
rIage, Miss Higgins. Prompt action was
taken to recover the money, but Miss Hig-
gins. It IS said. paid the money over to
creditors Then came the court proceed
ings and the contempt order.
The means for the settlement Of the ref
eree's claim of $500 may be prom1ssory
notes amounting to 5000, which were made
out by relative. The referee refused to
take these, and suggested that the person
who gave them should have them dis
counted This could not be done yesterday
It may not be done to-day, but an effort
will be made to raise the money in some
way before Mr. Freeman can file his writ
for Miss Higgins's commItta1 for contempt.
Mr.. Freeman was working on these pa
pers last evening. He will try to have
them ready by to-day. If they should be
ready there may be no federal judge to
receive them. If they are fled 1t will
mean that Miss Higgins will have to go to
jail. They cannot be filed on Monday, be-
cause that is Labor Day. legal holiday
So that If the papers are not ready to-
day, or if ready there should be no Judge
to receive them, Miss Higgins will have
until Tuesday morning
It is more than likely that the woman
who is threaten with Ludlow street Jail
will have until the afternoon of Tuesday
TO raise the necessary money on the notes.
lawyer. even though a referee in bank
ruptcy, is likely to be exceedingly busy, so
busy that the papers In a case of COM
initial for contempt may not be ready until
just before the court is TO close. That will
give Miss Higgins all OF Tuesday to raise
the $500
1t was said last evening that her pre-
dicament was due entirely to her filial de-
votion

NEUTRAL IN POSITION ON MILK
New York Milk Committee S Attitude
on Nutritive Values.

Wilbur c. Phillips secretary OF the New
York Milk Committee, answered yesterday
some of the questions addressed to him in
regard to the attitude of the committee on
rasteurfzed milk The Milk Committee has
expressed regret at the closing OF the sta
tions maintained by Nathan Straus for the
d,stribution of pasteuri2ed milk, and is now
raising a fund by voluntary subscription for
scientific investigation of the relative nu-
tritfve values of the raw and pasteurized
articles
Mr. Phillips explained that its position as
to the nutritional property of the two lat
ter products was neutral. 1t commends
pasteurization for the same reason persons
boil their milk, namely. TO prevent infec-
tiCn.
he says that while the milk used by Mr.
Straus Is good and clean, and has been
pasteurized only for additional safety, that

UPHOLDs JERSEY AUTO LAW
Supreme Court at Trenton Says Statute
Is Constitutional.

Trenton. n. J., Sept. 2. - The Supreme
Court, IN an opinion handed down to-day,
sustained the constitutionality of the New
Jersey automobile law By upholdfng the
conviction Of Frank J. Paine, New York
man, who was arrested in Paterson for
operating an automobile without a New
Jersey license
Paine made a trip through New Jersey
without procuring a license, in order TO
bring the interstate commerce feature of
the law squarely before the courts. The
contention of the automobiles who sup
ported Paine was that the imposition OF a
license fee was tax for revenue only. and
therefore a violation of the constitutional
provision on that subject.
The Supreme Court holds, however. that
the Legislature acted within its prerogative
when IL passed d law putting resident and
nonresident automobilists on an equal
footing. The case probably will be carried
10 the Court of Errors and Appeals.
