TO STUDY
PROBLEM OF FARES
Electric Railway Men Adopt
Means to Settle Transporta-
ton Cost and Charge.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 16.-Among
the reports presented at today's ses-
sion of the American Electric Rail-
way convention was that from the
committee on the joint use of poles
on which the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers, the National
Electric Light Association and the
American Telegraph and Telephone
Company were represented. The re-
port advocated the joint use by all
the principal wire users of the coun-
try of one set of poles in village and
city streets, which would mean the
abolition of a great majority of the
poles which now disfigure the high
ways.
The association authorized the es-
Establishment of a bureau to make a
study of fares. This action was taken
on the recommendation of commit
tee headed by J. D. Mortimer, of Mil
waukee The bureau Is expected to
definitely settle the question OF what
it actually costs to transport passen-
gers on electric railways.
Assistant Surgeon-General w. G.
Rucker, of the public health service,
in an address before the transporta-
ton and traffic association, an, affil-
lated body, declared on the authority
of the officers attached to the health
service that sanitary conditions on
American railways, generally speak
ing, were a vast Improvement over
those on railways in European coun-
tries. The blame of such unsatisfac-
tory conditions as exist at present,
he said, rests as much upon the
travelling public as upon the COM
panies."
The following officers were elected
today: President, ID. A. Hegarty,
New Orleans; first vice-president, NJ.
C. brush. Boston; second vice-presi-
dent. H. A. Nicholl, Anderson, Ind. ;
third vice-president, l.. c. Bradley,

With His Racing Auto

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 16.-Lau-
renee Duke, aged thirty-five, nephew
of James B. Duke. president of the
American Tobacco Company, spent
the night in the county Jail after his

REJECT PLANS OF
N. Y. HOSPITAL
FreehoIders' Committee Finds
TubercuIar Wards at Kings
Park Not Satisfactory.

The building committee of the
Board of Freeholders, headed by
Chairman August l.. Lacombe, made
an automobile trip to Kings Park,
L. l., yesterday to inspect the tuber-
culosis wards at the New York State
Asylum for the Insane at that town,
and after reaching there found that
the tubercular. wards such as New
York State has built were exactly
what Essex county did not want for
the Overlook Asylum for the In
sane.
Accompanying the building commit
tee were Ernest T.. Ryman, chair
man of the hospital committee: DR..
Guy Payne, medical superintendent,
and BENJAMIN r. Bailey, warden of
the Overlook asylum, and County
Consulting Architects Kreitler, Capen
and Allen.
All these gentlemen agreed with the
members of the building committee
that the building used for tubercular
patients at the Kings Park institution
were not what were wanted for the
patients at Overlook. The build
ings, FIVE in number, have a capac-
ity of fifty patients each and are of
bungalow construction. They are sim
gle-story, built of wood, shingled on
the outside and with wooden flooring.
The Dashboard in the buildings is Of
metal, the corrugated sort that is
used for metal ceilings.
In many instances the Dashboard
does not join tightly with the wooden
floor and leaves an open space that
will eventually make fine breeding
place for germs and bacilli of all
sorts. The wooden flooring did not
NTH fba annrnua1 of the E,SSaX
county men in the least, as they
pointed out that it is almost impos-
sible to keep it in a sanitary condi-
ton. The architects pointed out that
the wooden construction ofsthe build
ings would make constant repair nee
essary after few years and that the
maintenance cost would probably be
enormous.
The cost of the buildings to the
New York State institution was over
s166, 900, including buildings and
equipment, and, although the build
ings have only been in use since last
March, some of the wards are already
showing signs of wear and tear, and
need repairs.
The Essex county board has not as
yet determined how much of an ex-
penditure to make on a tubercular
pavilion for the Overlook asylum,
but it was the general concensus of
opinion yesterday that when plans
are adopted it will be for far more
stable type of buildings than those at
the Kings Park institution, even if
the initial should be greater. One
thing is certain, the Overlook build
ing will not be constructed of wood.
The building to be erected at Over
brook will have a capacity of about
100 patients, there being between
eighty and ninety patients at the
asylum now who are sufferers from
At present they are
quartered in infirmaries that are
needed for patients suffering from
non-contagious diseases. 1t is ex-
pected that the matter of providing a
new building will be taken up by
the building committee at its next
meeting.

SUES HUSBANDFOR
RETURN OF $4,000
Wealthy Woman Brings Action
Against Spouse, .ex-Bank
Clerk, in Chancery Court.

! The marital woes OF a wealthy.
middle-aged woman and her youth
full husband of scanty means were
aired today in Chancery Court before
lVice-Chancellor Stevens, where Mrs.
Gladys l.. Woodward, of New York
city is seeking TO recover more
than $1,000 in loans and considerable
property from Walter A. Woodward,
of Vineland. this State.
Mrs. Woodward was residing at
Portland. Oregon, on February y,
1910. when she met her youthful
spouse. He was then a bookkeeper
in bank in that city. She testified
today that she knew her husband
only a month when they were mar
ried at his request so that he could
20 to New York and get a better po-
sition. She asked that the ceremony
be postponed for at least six months.
but he lost his bank position and
both agreed to marry at once.
The day before they were married,
the wife testified, she loaned her hus-
band 5000 to pay his debts and get
clothes for himself to use on their
wedding trip. The couple came East,
and after visiting several cities set
tied down in Manhattan. There Mrs
Woodward leased apartments in the
Ansonia Hotel but testified that his
inability to support her forced her to
give up the apartments.
Mrs. Woodward declared he asked
that they go to England and he was
sure he would "make good" there.
Then followed a trip to Paris and
England, where the wife tired of sup
porting herself and her husband and
they parted. She claims he was con
stantly draining her financial re-
sources"
The complainant declared that she
has obtained a decree of divorce from
her husband since her return to
America. The suit was brought in
Idaho.
on the stand the young husband
testified that he is thirty-four years
old and that he understood his wife's
age is forty. There appears to be at
least twenty years difference between
them.
The largest sum loaned to the hus-
band. said his wife, was nearly $4,000
in February. 1912, as he was leaving
Paris for New York. He gave a
note for $1,000. which she loaned him
to buy a chicken farm here. Mrs
Woodward said she held several of
her husbands notes for the money
she loaned him. but the notes disap-

America.
Although she made several de-
mands on Woodward for the notes
he never paid any attention to them,
the wife said. Mrs. Woodward told
the vice-chancellor that she paid
Woodward's passage back to Amer
lea and gave him other money to de-
fray his expenses back to this coun-
try.
Mrs. woodward appeared about to
break down while testifying that
many valuable heirlooms of her own
were stored with her furniture in
New York city. the receipt for which
the husband holds and has refused to
give his wife. The furniture was
stored in the Manhattan Storage Com
pany in the name of Mr.. and Mrs.
The wife told the court that much
of the bric-a-brac in storage were
gifts of her first husband when she
was fifteen years old. In defense
Woodward claims that his wife
didn't want him to work, but
wanted him as companion; that the
money and other property were gifts"

OCEAN TRAGEDY IS
PRINTED ON BRAIN
CONTINUED from First Page1


iiefs of Captain Inch, of the Vol
turno, had set out with three Others
in a lifeboat to prove that a boat
could live in those rough waters;
how Captain Inch, although burned,
hand, face, and body, and with his
eyes almost bullying out of his head,
had handled one of the greatest dis
asters in the history of the seas
without even a murmur as to his own
suffering, as related by Lloyd, will be
carried in the minds of those who
heard it as long as they live.
Second officer Lloyd found himself
in the centre of a group of the kur-
fuerst's passengers one night after
the rescue, said DR.. Wiener, and was
urged to tell them the story, which he
did.
THAT story will go down in his
tory" said Dr. Wiener.
IT can't add any more to my story
printed in yesterdays Evening Star"
said DR.. Wiener today. 4 am still
in the same frame of mind as | have
been since the disaster-so full of
stories that 1 find myself unable TO
relate any. / shall have to wait until
the excitement of the thing cools
down. and then perhaps l may be
able to disentangle the mental pic
lures and put them into words
DIR. Wiener was impressed with the
speed with which the Star repro
duced several photographs he made
of lifeboats returning to the Gross=r
Kurfuerst from the Volturno.
Less than two hours after he
stepped ashore at Hoboken the Star
reproduced in it's home edition the
pictures and his exclusive story of
the thrilling sea drama.
DIR. Wiener and his party were re-
turning from a tour of Europe.

Crowds Cheer RescuerS

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE oil tank
steamer Narrag ansett, which ar
rived with the milk in the morning
on the scene of the Volturno disaster
and by scattering tons of oil on the
raging sea helped so much in the
rescue work, received a great recep-
ton on her arrival on the Thames
at noon today.
A band on board a tug met her
down the river and played her to her
berth to the strains of THE Conquer
ing Hero" and a succession of ma
tional airs.
The sirens of all the vessels in the
river were loosened and salvos of
cheers from the crowds on the river
banks greeted the crew of the Mar
ragansett as they reached the Anglo
American Oil Company's wharf. The
ship had a number of survivors on

ocean liners and the Volturno disas-
ter were brought up today when the
Senate began work on the seaman's
servitude bill. Andrew Feruseth,
representative of the Seaman's
Union, in the effort to secure legisla-
ton improving conditions of sailors,
gave out a statement attributing part
of the loss of life on the Volturno to
the inefficiency of the lifeboat men.
1.-THE prominent fact in connection
with the loss" said he, $50 far as the
information is at present available is
a lack of skilled men to handle the
boats. The one supreme test of skill
in a seaman and the one most i'm
portant to the passenger is the sea-
mans ability to lower boat and get
her away from the side of the vessel
when a gale is blowing"
The Senate met today under an
agreement to take up the bill and dis
pose of it by October %. It is identi-
cal with one to which President Taft
gave pocket veto.

Friends Cling to Hope
Lost Aviator Was Picked
Up by Vessel at Sea

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-Seelkers by
land and sea for Albert ]. Jewell, the
airman, who vanished In the sky last
Monday, abandoned hope today of
ever finding his body or his aero
plane.
They were convinced that he had
been carried out to sea by the wind
had fallen into the water and
drowned,
Jewell was hst seen 1000 feet
above Edgemere, Long Island, head
ing for open water.
If Jewell fell into the sea there is
remote possibility that he was
picked up by small boat or tramp
steamer outward bound and without
wireless. His friends cling to this
hope. A few motorboats still con-
tinued the search for him today.

New Ziegler Accounting

NEW YORK, Oct. 16,-The death
of Mayor Gaynor will necessitate the
starting anew OF the accounting in
the William Ziegler estate. which has
now been before the surrogate's
court for more than a year. This is
the gist of the decision handed down
yesterday by Surrogate Cohalan. The
two surviving trustees asked the sur
rogate to instruct them as to the
steps to be taken. Surrogate Cohalan
decided all parties concerned must be
cited again. This will probably cause
another years delay.

nothing was vouchsafed st the de-

TELLS Of WORK
ON TRUNK SEWER
Questions Propounded by Res
ident of Passaic Answered
by Commission.

Several questions, concerning tht
general trunk sewer plan. propounded
by a resident of Passaic and sub
rnitted to the Passalc Valley Sewer
age Commission through Mayor
George N. Seger, OF that city, were
answered in a letter received by
Mayor Seger today. Some of the
questions and answers are as fol-
lows:
DO you encounter much quicksand?
+ A.-The trunk sewer in various
places. and particularly within the
limits of the city of Passaic, is
located largely in fine sand at con-
siderable depth below the ground
water. All of the sand found IN the
excavations has been of such a CHAR
.acter that it could be drained of its
water, and before the sewer was
built on 1t the sand was drained.
Z Are special foundations provided
for in this case?
& A.-Under these conditions no spe-
scial foundations were required, and
therefore none was provided.
Has the bottom been bad enough
to necessitate a timber foundation or
a rock fill?
2 A.--No.
Is the structure reinforced?
Z A.-No. There has been no neces-
.slty for reinforcement.
Is it self-supporting?
A.-The sewer has been designed
and is being built in accordance with
the best modern practise and is as
self-supporting as the best practise
requires for the locations in which
it is being built.
What is the inside size of the sec
ton?
A.-Tho inside size of the sections
ranges from u feet inches to feet
inches. In Passaic z feet inches
from the lower end of Hope avenuei
6 feet 3 inches in Acquackanonk.
What is the thickness of the arch
in the open cut?
A.-Ten inches for the larger size
and nine inches for the smaller size.
What is the largest depth of dirt
cover in the open cut?
A.-Within the limits Of Passaic,
twenty-six feet.
Has the structure shown any settle
ment or upheavals?
A.--Not in excess OF what was an
ticipated.
. Have any shrinkage cracks ap-
speared and, if so, to what are they
due?
Z A.-Some shrinkage cracks have ap-
peared. They are due to shrinkage
and occasional very slight settle
ments.
What has been done to remedy
this?
A--They have been properly
cauIked with cement and sealed up.
Is there any danger of the structure
caving in from these cracks?
A-No.
What will have l. be done in the
event of a cave-in?
Att will be necessary to dig down
and rebuild that portion of the sewer.
Do the communities get what they
pay fora good job?
A.-The communities are receiving
a good substantial job, which will
last, the sewer being in my opinion,
as good as any I have ever built or
seen in an experience of about forty
years. ga

High Cost of Meat Public's
Own Fault, Says Beef Baron

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 16.-Curtail-
ment of the high price of meat is 'up
to the public, according to Charles
w. Armour, president of the Missouri
corporation ofArmour & Co., packers
who today issued statement on the
subject.
Mr.. Armour says if the consumers
will discontinue eating veal for sey-
eral years until the supply of cattle
in this country is brought back to
its normal condition, the bottom will
soon thereafter drop out of prices.
Mr.. Armour believes the new tariff,
admitting beef free, may bring some
relief from high prices if the supply
in South America is maintained.
