COURT SESSION SEQUEL
OF IR-PULLING MATCH.
Women Each Bore Marks OF
Strenuous Encounter.

Residents about Centre street and
Division place last night saw a hair.
pulling match between Mrs. Ann Peck
of q Centre street, and Mrs. Mary
Smith, of SO Centre street. The two
women appeared today in the First
Precinct Police Court before Judge
Hahn and told him Of their troubles.
According to Mrs. Smith, who had
first say. the fight came about when
she asked what right Mrs. Peck had
to talk about her. Words were not fast
enough for her, and she said Mrs. Peck
hit her with a p~ocketbook. Then a real
tussle ensued, and the members of No
9 truck came out of their house and
tried to separate the women
Mrs. Peck stated that the other
woman was a pest to the neighbor-
hood and was continually causing
quarrels by her talking. Both women
had scratches on their faces which
proved that a real encounter had taken
place; they also carried the garments
which they had worn last night to
show how fierce the battle was really
waged. Judge Hahn placed them both
under 800 bonds to keep the peace.

Of the North German Lloyd. Hamburg
American, Holland Amerika and Red
Star steamship lines, and OF the North
Atlantic shipping conference. are in
session here today. Albert Balm, d.
rector-general Of the -Ameri-
can, and Others who were approached,
refused to disclose the purpose of the
meeting. but from the fact that the
English lines were not represented II
was conjectured that II might have to
do with the recent trouble between the
Uranium Steamship Company and the
government of Holland.
The conference will be continued to-
morrow. The Uranium is a British
company. and not embraced in the
steamship pool On March l its direc-
tor, Rudolf B Tinsley, was expelled
from Holland on the ground that
despite the orders of the minister of
the interior, he had persisted in try

WORD
MAY RESULT IN
TWO INDICTMENTS
At Least One State Bank Official
Will Be Arrested, Says
Report.

NEW YORK, April 26.-At least one
and perhaps two officers Of the State
banking department may be indicted
on the strength of Andrew C~arnegie's
testimony yesterday afternoon before
the special grand jury probing into the
trust company bearing the ironmaster's
name. The necessary corroboration TO
insure true bills is expected to be given
today, when Robert A. Franks, the
laird's confidential fiscal agent, is
scheduled to take the witness stand.
Mr.. Carnegie Is reported TO have
made a series Of denials. general and
specific, during his hour and ten min
utes before the grand jurors. The wit
ness is said to nave emphatically de-
clared he did not give assurances to
the banking department that he would
come to the aid of the unstable insti-
tuition bearing his name against his
earnest desire). 1t has been asserted
h a the banking department delayed
practically a year before closing the
trust company, which wa known for
that length of time to be in hard
financial straits, on account of the al
legged promise Of the apostle Of peace
that the Carnegie Trust Company
would not be permitted to go to the
wall.
sWay of the Philanthropist..
The ironmaster admitted the we'll
known fact that he did succor the
trust company In 1907 when he lent 1t
50. 00o. 900. but the witness fastened to
explain that he had thrown out this
life buoy simply to protect the pub
lies interests.
And I'll have you know, gentlemen,
that the way of the philanthropist is
hard" Mr.. Carnegie is quoted as soil
loquizing in the witness chair.
In repudiating the statements that he
had promised to come to the rescue of
the trust company the ironmaster is
reported to have exclaimed:
1T was not a matter Of money. It
vas more than that. I did not want
to be drawn back into active mercan-
tile life. Besides, unfair advantage
was being taken OF me, and there were
many things that cropped up that I
did not like at all. So even If / had
been asked. I would not have made
any promises; as it was. l repeat. I
made no promises about helping the
company in any way"
