ATLANTIC LINER
HITS ICEBERG
CHANCES OFF, HOWEVER, AND
!
IL ABLE TO PROCEED WITH
PLATE stone IN,

MONTREAL. May 1.-THE Fur
ness liner Chiltern Range, from
Hun to Montreal, came into port this
afternoon with the bow plates stove
in, the result of striking a glancing
blow against an iceberg on May 1st
The mishap occurred in a dense fog
at a time when the steamer was sur
rounded by icebergs. which were in
visible, owing to the density of the
fog. but which were known to be
present because every blast from the
steamers siren was followed twenty
or thirty seconds later by a report
like a gun. This report was caused
the captain said, by the cracking of
the icebergs by the vibration of the
steamers siren.
The Chiltern Range slid off the
iceberg after striking, and lay along
side 1t. much like IA vessel alongside
a dock wall
Captain Rea stated he did not take
off his clothes after. the accident,
until the vessel made Father Point
nine days later. He said a dense
fog prevailed all the time, and every
now and then icebergs would sud-
denly loom out in close proximity
to the vessel.

GOTHAM ALDERMEN ]
MUCH STIRRED UP
STATEMENT BY WHITMAN THAT
THEY HAVE BEEN GRATING
RIFLES THEM.

NEW YORK. May l1.-Police offi-
Gals and policemen have had just
about 100000 worth of free taxicab
rides in the past year While this
graft was being distributed the chauf-
feurs for the taxicab trust were prac~
tically immune from arrest for vio-
lating traffic regulations
This coincidence was discovered to-
day by Assistant District Attorney.
Joseph DuVivier, who spent several
hours inspecting the books and
records of the Yellow Taxicab COM
pany. and looking up the court
records of taxicab cases. Mr.. Du
yivier found that Independent driy-
ers were frequently arrested for tech
nical violations of the law. and that
the trust drivers had not been both
cred by the police.
Mr.. Du Nivier examined the books
and records in order to get certain
facts before the grand jury on. Mon
day.
The board of aldermen is SO much
stirred up over the district attorneys
plain statement that some of them
are trying To- graft, that the taxicab
reform legislation may be taken out
OF the hands Of. the special commit
tee. and put into the hands of the
whole board. Things have got To- the
stage where the aldermen feel that
II is up 10 them to block the grafters.

JOE TINKER SAYS
REDS WILL COME
ALSO DECLARES CHANCE WILL
YET MAKE A TEAM OUT OF
YANKEES.

NEW YORK. May 1t.--Joseph
Tinker, manager of the Cincinnati
Reds, talked entertainingly on num-
erous baseball topics at the Hotel
Endicott today.
II realize that I am having the
same troubles that are bothering
Frank Chance. Neither of us have
enough first class ball players to bring
about desired results. and we must
build up our teams gradually.
There isn't doubt In my mind,
however, that in due time the New
York Americans and the Cincinnati
Reds will be strong enough to cope
successfully with the best bali clubs
in the big leagues"
Tinker went on to say that several
of the members of the teams were
suffering from physical disabilities.
and that he himself had two fingers
splintered In yesterdays game.
LAS soon as Johnny king begins
catching In old time FORM he con-
.tinued. "he will greatly strengthen
us behind the bat.
II think the Cubs will miss Chance
before long. His rules OF discipline
did much to make the team success
full"

TABOR BUREAU MAN
SECURES 4 WARRANT
lpoltcE HOOK ON WITH INTEREST
AT THE TROUBLES OF
THE ANDERsoNs.

A. r. Price, Of 3i2 East Main street,
was arrested last evening by oficer
Barker, on warrant sworn out by
G. E.. Anderson, of the American
Labor Bureau. charging him with
assault abuse and an attempt to
beat him. The warrant was issued
by Magistrate Purdie after Magis-
trate Mccarthy had advised Ander-
son not to swear 1t out.
1t was on a warrant issued by Ma
gistrate Mccarthy Saturday after
noon, that Anderson was arrested on
a charge OF assaulting and beating
Price. Price said that he had paid
$3.50 for which he was to have been
found a position. When the job was
not forthcoming he said he demanded
his money back. and that Anderson
struck him with club. Anderson as
serted that it was Prices loud talk
and his threatening manner which
precipitated the row.
The police are greatly interested In
the case, as Mrs. A. N. Anderson was
arrested several weeks ago on a
charge of obtaining SO by false pre-
tense from Robert Anthony. Anthony
was to have been found a job Tor
the money, but never got the job.
The case was dismissed after the
money had been returned to the man.
On that occasion the woman promised
to get out of the employment agency
business.
when the case against her was dis
missed Major Werner said he was
satisfied at the outcome, as she had
promised to get out of the business.
II is on this account that he is par
ticularly Interested in the present
charges.

| SIONER BLAKE.

ALBANY, May 11.-Special Commits
sioner George w. Blake, who is max
ing an investigation of the State
prisons, has presented his report on
Sing Sing to Governor Sulzer. Al
though there are few specific charges
the report generally scores the insti-
tuition and the management an q
startling illustration of mismanage-
ment and waste"
Warden John S. Kennedy Is con-
demned as incompetent ana inenic,e %,
Patrick j. Tracy, superintendent or IN
dustries, comes in likewise for severe
criticism, he being accused OF knowing
nothing of his branch of the work.
Mr. Blake recommends that the en-
tire situation be submitted to the at
tention of men competent to deal with
the situation, and the general opinion is
hat this is to be done, with view 70
depriving the two men of their OFFICES
1t may be only a coincidence, pu'

moval of Warden Kennedy and super

both friends Of Mr.. Murphy

full that not even the warden or the
prison doctors attempt to defend them

holds that former Superintendent OF
Prisons Colonel j. +. Scott was more
incompetent in falling to remedy the
conditions.
The worst feature OF the prison
management cannot be discussed in any
public document" says Commissioners
Blake. The report continues;
The prison is remarkable because
of the lack of anEs cohesive or we'll
poised plan of government. 1t la SO
slipshod and incompetent as to breed
the suspicion at the first glance that
the purpose is to cover up dishonest
methods by brazen show of innocent
earelessness."
Commissioner Blake says eonvicts
are subjected to cruel punishment: that
disease is rampant, and that prisoners
are confined in dark. filthy cells drip

SCULPTOR BARNARD TELLS OF
HIS PURPOSE IN PURCHAS-
ING RUINS.

PARIS. May 1t.-~There has been
much misrepresentation in connection
with the sale to George Gray Bar
nard the American sculptor, of the
rose marble architectural ruins of the
Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries. of
the Abbey at st Michael de Cuxe,
near Prades, which had been pur-
chased for American dealers, The
government informed the sculptor
that the ruins must not be taken from
the country, according to tho stories
printed over month ago.
Much indignation was expressed at
the time of the talent instance of
American vandalism. Mr. Barnard
explained the circumstances of the
matter TO your correspondent today.

that they all came from a tiny
aperture in the side of an elevator
shaft. in which David Belasco had in

When Mike got near to the shaft
pleas for help assailed his ears. They
came from David Belasco, Julie Opp,

port; Edwin Arden, who is the hus-
band of Mrs. Arden, president of the
Twelfth Night club, and Mrs. Edwin

Mr.. Belasco was the chauffeur of
the contrivance. Just as the cage
settled at the stage level, Miss opp
exclaimed: "Oh, what lovely toy

this" referring to her two sons
Belasco likes to play with his ele-
vator pretty well, and one after an
other, he pushed all the buttons. The
elevator sank foot below the level
at which 1t was supposed TO stop.
Then Mr.. Arden and then Belasco
tried to work the door, but without
success. Mr.. Belasco finally remem-
bered that the man who sold him the
elevator had told him that the door
wouldn't open unless the elevator was
exactly on the level with the floor,
otherwise the door would be auto
