To PROBE PLUNGE
OF TROLLEY into
DELAWARE CANAL
Seventeen Lives Endangered as
Car Stands on End in
Water.

TRENTON, Sept. PA searching
investigation will be made to place re-
sponsibility for the endangering of sew
enteen lives here yesterday, when one
of the largest trolley cars the street
railway company owns rolled down the
Prospect street hill and plunged into
the Delaware and Raritan canal.
The d%rawbridge that spans the canal
at the bottom of the hill had been
turned to let the coal barge Governor
Woodrow Wilson pass.
BY prompt and vigorous efforts the
seventeen in the car were saved; all
were drenched, muddy and scared half
to death, but lone was seriously in
jured.
The car was not moving fast. Sew
eral witnesses declared that Chester A.
Irons, the motorman, seemed to try
to see how close he could come to the
canals edge without going in, and mis-
calculated. AS the car jolted over the
bank and into the water tie chorused
yell of the passengers could be heard
for blocks. The car stood head down
on the canals muddy bottom. Only
half of the cars length was submerged
but, necessarily, the passengers were
~precipitated downward and mixed up
In a squirming mass of screaming
women, crying children and swearing
men.
Recovering themselves. the men did
some ladder climbing with the backs of
seats for rungs, then pulled up the
women and children.
Motorman Irons found himself i'm
prisoned in the inclosed front platform,
but broke the windows and swan to
the bank; he was cut by the jagged
glass.

COURT N SETON
HALL CASE CALLS
LIEN LAW TRAP
Says Statute for Mechanics
Protection Should Be Amend
ed to Really Protect.

Characterizing the mechanics lien
law as one full of traps Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell today, in the course of
the hearing of claims of creditors
against the Calumet Construction Com
pany, growing out of the rebuilding of
Seton Hall College, in South Orange,
added:
ut is certainly an outrage that men
of honest claims should suffer defeat
of these claims because of some little
technicality in the law. / should think
that the builders and material men of
this State would have the Legislature
change this law in some way or an
other"
The "technicalities'' referred to are
that, under the law, the sub-contractor
who puts in his claim first against a
general contractor who has lain
down. on the job, can get what is due
to him and the other sub-contractors
may be left"
The Vice-chancellor heard several
claims today against the Calumet Com
pany, which suspended operations Feb
ruary 1, 1910. Among them were those
of the Maxwell & Dempsey Corpora
ton, of New York, who did interior
marble and slate work, at a contract
price of 81. 200, and Joseph Blocker. also
of New York, who did roofing and
metal work. His contract figure was
So, 800. These claims, like the others,
were taken under a~dvisement.
The total cost of the job was to be
$98, Alb, and of this $72,440 has been
paid. The balance, $25, 973, has been
placed in the hands of the Court Of
Equity by the officers of the college to
protect themselves from the claims of
the construction company's creditors.
This balance is now to be divided
among them.

MAN WHO ESCAPED FROM

After escaping from the Overbrook
Insane Asylum four months ago,
Henry Drumming, 81 years old, an in
mate of the asylum, was found on
Jelliff avenue early today by a patrol
mar of the Sixth precinct. The officer
saw the man ascend the steps Of a
house, and thinking he was a burglar
placed him under arrest. Drumming
was identified at the station house as
the man for whom the asylum authori-
ties have been searching. He was
locked UP in the Fourth precinct police
