Mrs. Vermilya Not Informed.

AT the county jail hospital. where she
lies i'll from attempts to take her own
life, Mrs. Neimiiya was not Informed OF
the new evidence the police will bring TO
bear in charging her with murder.
Toxicologist Walter l. Haines commu-
nicated his report to the coroner's office
The finding was that arsenic was present
in large quantities in the viscera of Con-
ductor Richard T. Smith, who boarded
with her. and of Frank Brinkamp. the
latter being Mrs. Vermilyas son.
These two bodies were exhumed after
poison had been found in the remains of
Policeman Arthur Bissonctte. the last of
the ten to die, when re.atives and friends
told the coroner the circumstances of
their deaths were similar TO those of Bis
sonette.
In the case of Frank Brinkamp, Mrs.
the boy induced an Investigation of the
possibility of his having partaken of the
pepper box poison. The coroner an
nounced he would ask the states attor-
ney to request an indictment chareins
Mrs. Vermilya with having criminal
knowledge of the causes of death OF
Brinkamp and Smith.
More Bodies May Be Examined.
Coroner Hoffman said he was disposed
to open still more graves of those whose
deaths had occurred beneath Mrs. Yer
milya's roof. There were at least three
others whose deaths were, he said, recent
enough for poison TO be apparent l. they
had so died. Whether he would 60 into
those cases, he said. depended upon the
advice of the states attorney.
Mrs. Eermilya was near death during
Yesterday. She is suffering from valvular
heart disease, and according to jail Ply

Her condition is particularly critical
owing to the quantity of arsenic sne
swallowed Saturday and the weakness
which followed the energetic measures To
remove the poison. In addition TO a nurse,
one of the Jail physicians is now detailed
to watch her bedside constantly.

STREET sWEEPERs QUIT
Trouble Of Ash and Garbage Col
lectors Involves Others.
REFUSE PILED IN STREETS
Accumulations on Some Thorough
fares Make Them Almost
impossible.

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE most
dreaded of all labor troubles. a general
teamsters' strike. threatens New York
unless the city speedily settles its diff
ferences with the several thousand la
borers In the street cleaning department.
The strike of the cartmen who collect
the citys ashes and garbage extended
10 the street sweepers today, and tonight
the department store drivers and others
will meet to consider quitting work in
sympathy with the city employees.
Meanwhile the city IS suffering from a
prodisious accumulation Of rubbish and
garbage. Ordinarily 5000 carloads are
removed every day. The strike since
last Wednesday has permitted rubbish of
all kinds to pile up. until today it is not
only an Inconvenience, but menace to
health In many apartment houses be-
wildered janitors have dumped their ac
cumulauons on the street making some
thoroughfares almost impossible with
hills OF garbage and ashes ten feet high.
Strikebreakers Handicapped.
The street cleaning department began
work today with several hundred strike
breakers, but the men were green, and
under the constant annoyance Of the
ST. ikers and their friends they made ~
tie headway. The men who took the
strikers places were guarded by nearly
1900 policemen, and every member of
The reserve was on duty today In antici-
patton of more riots. Already these dis
turhances have cost tho life of one strike
b. eaking driver and sent severa. others
to the hospital. The attacks generally
come from houSetops, and by the time
the police climb up to the places from
which missiles come the throwers have
disappeared.
The department has commissioned sew
eral detective agencies to hire 300
strikebreakers. and the men have been
advertised for over a radius OF 400 miles
from the city. but thus far only few
hundred have been supplied, and many of
these quit when they found the dangers
they must encounter.
Rioting Breaks Out.
Riots broke out in half dozen places
early today. when the department sent
out few carts manned by strikebreak-
ers.
Generally the police guards we're able
to save the drivers from being dragged
from their seats, but they could do little
against the attacks from the housetops.
At one stable twenty OF the thirty-five
drivers who reported for duty today de-
serted before 1t came time to start. and
ten of the fifteen carts that went out
were abandoned by their crows after
passing through ombardmentss The
strikers massed on the housetops about
the stables. and the police had to clear
the roofs before the carts started.
Thus far there has been no suggestion
of calling on the National Guard. The
city authorities declare that the police
are able to suppress all violence.
