Final argument on the application

Vice. Chancellor Howell in Chancery
Court today.
Volumes of depositions and min

lor reserved decision.
A temporary Injunction enjoining
the company from declaring the divi-
dend has been obtained by Godfrey

as a special dividend. is part of the
corporations capital and that the di-
rectors have no authority to pay it
out.
The money is said to be the sum

rived in the early floating of the min

TRAINS IN WRECK
Electric Expresses, Running
Forty Miles an Hour, Meet
Head=0n at Curve.

b. NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-Three per-
sons We're killed and forty injured
early today in a head-on crash of
two Long Is'snd railroad electric
trains at College Point. Long Island,
opposite the Bronx shore. OF the in
jured one will die. The dead are;
Conductor George Borchel
Motorman Fred Loder.
Motorman Charles Huerlein.
Most of the injured were mill en-
ployees on their way to work The
crash occurred on a curve not far
from the station The trains. run
ming forty miles an hour, rounded the
curve from opposite directions al
most simultaneously and the crash
was inevitable.
The steel cars buckled. but did
not telescope. This fact doubtless
saved many lives.
A hotel near the scene and a num-
ber of residences nearby were thrown
open for use as emergency hospitals.
Many ambulances and a corps of ply
sicians were summoned to the scene.
Mr.. McGee, superintendent of the
Long Island railroad. said that there
Was 6ne passeng = dead in addition
tn the tfree railroad emplose ees. This
has not been corroborated. He SAID
the accident happened one block east
of the College Point station.
The scene of the accident was at
Eighteenth street and Third avenue,
where the line takes a sharp curve
and runs under a high bridge which
carries the roadway. The motorman's s
view of approaching trains is well
shut off
Apparently there was no warning
of the coming crash. The train from
New York was trying to make up for
lost time.
The two trains came together with
tremendous impact. the first cars
buckling in spite of their steel con-
struction. The most seriously in
jured were in these two cars.
1t appeared that the train from
New York must have been going at
much higher speed than the west
bound train. for the eastbound train
literally showed the cars of the other
train Off their trucks.
Inside all the eight cars in the COLI
sion passengers were thrown about
and badly battered
The leading cars of the trains piled
up In debris. from which came the
means and cries of the injured.
The Pennsylvania Railroad issued
a statement saying that the acct
dent had been caused, so far as
could be determined, by the negli-
gence of the operator at Whitestone
Junction, who allowed the train
bound for New York to leave the
double track before the other train
had cleared.
Among the first to reach the scene
were the College Point firemen, who
went to work with axes and picks.
They had a long fight before they

Resolution Sent to Election
Board by PrOgressives

Copies of the following resolution,
adopted at the last meeting of the
Progressive County Committee, we're
today presented to the secretary Of
the local police board and to the
secretary of the County Board of
Elections by committee appointed
for the purpose:
Resolved. That a committee of
five be appointed to call on the
County Board of Elections and re-
quest that all the district election
boards be instructed to abide strictly
that no aid or Instructions be offered
to voters, unless such aid Is request
ed by voters who are illiterate or
physically incapacitated.
"At the last general election it was
observed that In some polling places
election officers would follow voters
to the booth, without their services
being required or asked for, and
help the voters prepare their bal
lots.
Such practise is contrary to law
and Ought to be prevented at the
coming primary elections.
Another practise which tends to
corrupt our elections and which
should be stopped at once is the
kitty conspicuously. displayed in
many polling places and the requests
for contributions of candidates and
voters.
such practise should be prevented
by the police, and that the commit
tee be instructed to confer with the
police authorities concerning the
matter"
The members of the committee
having the matter In charge were
Antonio Petrone, George M. Judd and
William H. Roberts.

Examines Kerosene Which
Caused the Fatal Fires

Captain c. Albert Gasser. of the
bureau of eombustibles and fire risks.
personally Investigated both fatal
fires this morning and had tests made
of the oil in each instance. Both oils
were found to be well within the pro-
visions of the fire code.
'Kerosent oil should never be poured
into a stove" continued Captain
Gasser, "a fact that people do not
seem able to understand. I secured
samples of the kerosene used bv
these unfortunate people and find that
the oil is of a specific gravity and
flash point well within the provisions
of the fire prevention code. The cans.
II is true, were ordinary one gallon
cans made of tin. There isn't any use
trying to compel the use of non-ex-
plosive cans for households. These
poor people would buy their kerosene
oil in bottles, perhaps, and the danger
would be increased. not lessened. IL
resolves itself into a question of edu-
eating the people into realization
of the dangers of fire in this and a
thousand other matters. In most ac-
cident cases the victims are foreign
ers who cannot be reached by news
papers or fire prevention literature
There is one good way of reaching
them, however and that is through
their children in the public schools.
"The chief of police of Harrison
came in to see me on Saturday. bring
ing with him four samples OF kero-
sene oil sold and used in his town.
where there have been four fatalities
recently from the same eause-pour-
ing oil on a kitchen fire. All these
samples showed q specific gravity OF
anywhere between 47i1 and 4s. where
as the Newark samples both showed
as degrees. There is nothing wrong
with the oil sold in this part of the
state; the fault lies in carelessness
and ignorance"

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Evidence
that Hans Schmidt and 'Dr." Ernest

Inspector If the story told by him
is true the fact stands out big and
black that Father Schmidt and DR..
Muret had plan whereby they would

state that the physician fatty. de-
clined to listen to their proposal"
Inspector Faurot has learned, he
said that the dentist at one time in
his life figured as an insurance
broker.
The inspector said, that with the
assistance of the Chicago police, he
is trying to find if there was any
connection between Schmidt and
Muret and Johan sHoch, the Blue
beard of Chicago" who was executed
in 1905 for numbering one wife and
accused of killing several others.
Schmidt was In Chicago in 1905. AL

ence late this afternoon in the offices
of Lum. Tamblyn & Colyer.
The proposition practically Is COM

SULzER LAWYER
CAUTIONS COURT
Says He Hopes 1t Will Not Con-
slider Argument Mere
TechnicaIity.

ALBANY. n. Y, Sept. 22.-Gover-
nor Suffers legal artillery resumed
action this afternoon when the
Court of High Impeachment. which
began last week his trial for alleged
high crimes and misdemeanors was
called to order by Presiding Judge
Cullen at o'clock.
Attorney Louis ]. Marshall con-
tinued the argument which he did
not finish when the court adjourned
on Friday. in which he held that
the Governor was unconstitutionally
impeached.
with all solemnity," he said, I'VE
express confidence that this tribunal
will not be swayed from a proper
and due regard of the mandate of the
Constitution by the unworthy sug-
gestion that to do so is to permit
a technicality to triumph.
ITO dismiss the articles of inn
parchment which have been present
ed to this tribunal for lack of juris-
diction would not be a triumph of
technicality. 1t would be a victory
of the Constitution and the law. 1t
would be vindication of that sacred
instrument to which we all owe
fealty."
Mr.. Marshall quoted precedents in
support or his contention tnat the
Assembly in extra session was en-
titled to consider only subjects called
to its attention by the governor
whenever an extraordinary ses-
sion has been held" he said, mot
even an appropriation bill to cover
expenses of the session has been at
tempted to be passed except on the
specific recommendation of the gov
ernor. There is not to be found in
the history of any of the States a
single instance of the institution of
impeachment proceedings at an ex-
traordinary session of the Legisla-
ture.'
Answering the argument that the
assembly exercised not a legislative,
but judicial functions, Mr.. Marshall
held that an impeachment was
equivalent to an indictment and that
the Assembly exercised no other func-
ton than that of a grand jury.
There was no morning session of
the court today. The senators
and judges were ordered to
report promptly at o'clock for the
resumption of argument by Attorney
Louis Marshall, of the Sulzer coun-
sci. on certain points raised by him
