that the first warning they received
came when the smoke began pouring
into their chambers.

UNDER INDICTMENT
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, April 1O.-Death early
today quashed the Indictment against
Gustav E. Kissel, banker, who together
with Thomas b. Harmed, of Philadel-
phia. was arrested in July, 1909, charg-
ed with conspiracy in the deal where
by the sugar trust gained control over
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com

compete with the trust. Kissel, who
was senior member of the banking

It was charged by the Government
In its suit against the sugar trust that
I'm 1903 the owners of the Pennsylvania
Company, accepted loan of over a
million dollars supposedly from kis-

Sugar Refining Company On the plea
that the statue of limitations barred
the Government from prosecuting
them, Kissel and Harmed carried the

Court but in December last, that trib-
unal ruled that a conspiracy under the
Sherman law is a continuing offense
The indictments, therefore, remained
in force against Kissel and Harmed but
neither had been brought to trial. 1t is
believed that worry over the accusa-
tion made against him, hastened Kis-
sells end.

The death of Kissel again brought
attention to the peculiar fate that has
hovered over the big men in the sugar
trust Since the original scandal leak.

NO CAUSE YET
FOR COLLAPSE
City Building Inspector Hunts
for Cause Of Gorage
Accident
TWO OF INJURED
MEN GO TO HOMES

Building Inspector Cassidy spent all
morning at the building of the Stod-
dard-Dayton Auto Company, in
Orange street, above Tenth, which
collapsed on Saturday. burying FIVE
men in the debris, making an inves-
tigation as to the cause for the acci-
dent. Much of the lumber, however,
was still about the pier which had
crumbled and caused the disaster and
he has not yet been able to arrive at
any definite conclusion as to the
cause Of the collapse.
After his examination today. how
ever Mr.. Cassidy said that while he
could not state positively what caus-
ed the collapse he mention three pos
sible causes. These are that the col
lapse was due either to undermining
of the pier, jarring during the course
of the construction of the building. or
that the mOrtOr used i'm building the
pier had been frozen. the pier, having
been erected during the cold weather
six weeks ago.
Mr.. Cassidy said that under ordi-
nary circumstances the pier should
have withheld a weight of twenty
tons, whereas the weight that il was
to have held was only sixteen tons
/ At the time of the accident there was
a weight of only two and one-half tons
on Il.
Two of the five men hurt in the
collapse of the building and who were
removed to the hospitals have re-
turned to their homes. They are
Howard Hinton, a carpenter, who was
at the Delaware Hospital, and J. r
Robinson, of Stanton. carpenter. who
was i'm the Homeopathic Hospital.

TROLLEY RIGHTS
TO CITY WHARF
Peoples Line Wants Privilege
Now Held by Older
Company

The matter Of reaching Fourth street
wharf by the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company and the
Peoples Railway Company. which has
been under discussion for some time
has taken on increased interest. inas-
much as the old company has made
application 10 the Street and Sewer
Commission for permission to re-lo-
cate its tracks to that point. The
Wilmington City Railway Company
which company's franchise was ac-
quired by the present company, for
merly had tracks to the Fourth street
wharf and a turn table at that point,
and Il now wants to renew these
tracks. II is now said that the PeO-
pies Railway Company would also
like to run its tracks TO the wharf,
but It was learned today that the
company had not made an application
for the privilege.
II appears that the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company al
ready has the privilege OF running its
cars to the wharf and now only wants
permission TO relay tracks from
Bridge street, where the line termi-
mates, TO the wharf.
A member OF the Street and Sewer
Commission denied the statement
made I'm a morning newspaper today
that the Peoples Railway Company
had asked the Street and Sewer De-
partment some time ago to extend its
line TO Fourth street wharf, from
Church street, but owing to a dis
pute over the matter. nothing was
done. He said that by resolution
adopted by the board on April 27. 1903,
the Peoples company was granted
permission to build its line to Bridge
street on the south side Of the tracks
Of the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company and the company
accepted II by resolution passed and
signed by Spottswood Garland presi-
dent. and l.. Heisler Ball, secretary,
on June l. This permission has ex-
pired by limitation. The Street and
and Sewer director said that the board
could grant the company the privilege
of going only as far as Bridge street
The Peoples Railway Company con
| tends that II will be blanketted by the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Company, the tracks of this compan,
being next TO the curb. The question
Of priority rights. however, arise I
] seems that the Peoples Company
wants the same privileges and rights
the much more older company hai
had for many years. and just how the
controversy will end is matter foI
