MYSTERY AUTO
LEAVES A WAKE
OF DESTRUCTION
Spectre Car Wrecks Hydrant,
Splinters Pole, Then
Spirits Away.

A bubbling, foamy geyser of water
spouting out of the ground at Central
avenue and Bergen street was the
queer evidence left today by the most
mysterious automobile accident on
record in the city.
Some automobile-it might have
been a spectre car. for all onyone
knows about 5t-crashed into fire
hydrant on the southeast corner
some time after l o'clock and before
daylight this morning.
The impact was so terrific that the
massive hydrant was snapped off at
the ground like matchwood and splin-
tered to bits. Fragments of it were
strewn around for yards.
A stout hitching post. four feet
high which had stood near the hy-
drant, had been broken off as if it
were toothpick, and big green
package mail box had been side
wiped and knocked over on its side
All this devastation was revealed
by daylight. But of the automobile
and its occupants there was not the
slightest trace. Neither the police
nor anyone in the neighborhood know
how the wrecked machine was snug
gled away. 1t seems almost impossi-
BILE in fact. that whoever was in 1t
escaped injury.
The accident happened in front of
the drug store of Ewald Brooch 3sS
Central avenue The saloon of Leon
Harkavy is on the northwest cor
ner.
At the time one of the bartenders
in the cafe retired at 1 a. m. he
looked out on the brightly lighted
corner and at that time the hydrant
had not been torn off.
Those who were asleep above the
drugstore and the cafe might have
been expected to have heard the crash,
but they all asserted that they had
not
The only thing that seemed real
about the accident was the smashed
hydrant and the torrent of water
that spouted into the street until
men from the water department
plugged the pipe at $3.50.
The police have no record of any
accident. There are no hospital pa
tients. so far as can be learned, who
have not been accounted for.
There are tire tracks both in Ber-
gen street and in Central avenue.
They seem to indicate that the ma
chine was running south along Ber-
gen street and turned east into Gem
tral avenue. The hydrant was on the
Central avenue side, nine inches from
the curb and four feet from Bergen
street

REIGN OF TERROR
STORIES SOUGHT
Senate's investigators of West
virginia's Coal Strike Sum-
mon Men and Women.

| CHARLESTON, w. Va, June IA
The United States Senate sub-com-
mittee investigating the coal strike
situation today called on the men and
women who lived through the reign
of terror on Paint and Cabin creeks
for their stories of the struggle. The
| committee continued its inquiry into
the general causes and conditions
which led up to the strike, and the
miners attorneys presented men and
women who told of life in the mining
camps.
A phase of the mine strike which
has not yet been touched upon will
be developed by Senator Kenyon. He
served notice on the attorneys for the
mine operators that he desired to
secure records of the ownership of
the land on Paint and Cabin creeks
the capitalization and ownership OF
stock in the various coal operations,
together with the names of officers
of the companies who operate in the
strike zone.
c. O. Honaker, a conductor on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, was
today's first witness. He said that
prior to April 30, 1918, mine guards in
Cabin Creek rode on trains by virtue
of passes. He gave the committee
the names of a number of guards
and the numbers of the passes they
carried. These guards, he said, were
|all armed. Mr. Honaker said his
train had been. stoned three times
during the strike.
Former Governor Glasscock was re-
called to the stand to be cross-exam-
ined by counsel for the mine oper-
ators Attorney Knight ELECTED from
Mr.. Glasscock that the first trouble
broke out at Boomer, a "unionized"
mine outside of the Paint and Cabin
Creek districts.
A lengthy correspondence between
the governor and the operators on
the question of arbitration was
placed in the record. After his first
proposal was refused by the oper-
ators Mr.. Glasscock framed a new
proposition, which he believed elimi-
mated the question of the recognition
of the union. This second proposal,
he said, was likewise rejected by the
operators. although accepted by the
miners.
Senator Kenyon took up the ques-
ton of ownership of lands on Paint
and Cabin creeks. "On Paint creek, 4"
said Governor Glasscock. Il have un-
derstood that outside men were heavy
stockholders. The Cabin creek mines,
however, are owned by West Vir-
ginia interests
When Governor Glasscock was ex-
cused, the miners attorneys again
began to call the women of the strike
region. The attorneys for the State
objected to reopening the question of
trial under martial law
w. A. Abbott, a delivery wagon
driver for an "outside store" in the
strike zone, said that mine guards
prevented him from delivering sup
plies.
]. H. Pike, of Holly Grove. said that
mine guards shot the lock off his
door. He described the shooting-up
of Holly Grove from the armored
train. The train was dark, he said.
but he could see the flashes of guns
on the train.
What did you do when the bullets
began to fiy?" asked Senator Kenyon.
Just stood and looked at them,"
said the miner.

CALL MELLEN ON
ENGINEERS STORY
Coroner Subpoenas Railroad
President to Explain Why
Brakes Were Faulty.

STAMFORD, Conn.,, June 14.-Pres-
ident Charles s. Mellen. of the New
Haven railroad, has been. or will be,
served with a subpoena to appear be-
fore Coroner John ]. Phelan here, at
the inquest into the collision of
Thursday between the second and
first sections of the Springfield ex-
press from Boston to New York,which
cost the lives of six passengers and
injured a score of others, some of
them perhaps fatally.
Mr.. Mellen will be asked to appear
today if possible, or, If not. on Mon
day.
Agents of the coroner set out early
last evening to search for him. 1t
is believed the president will offer
no objection to appearing at the in
quest, and that although he may
be out of the State he will accept
the coroner's subpoena.
Should he see fit to ignore the sub
poena, however. or to take ad-
vantage of the laws inability to
reach him by the means now in
voked, Coroner Phelan will consult
Prosecuting Attorney G. A. Carter as
to what steps may be taken to COM
pei his attendance.
Coroner Phelan's desire to question
President Mellen had its inception in
the testimony yesterday of c. j..
Dougherty. the young engineer of
the wrecked locomotive. and the man
whom the railroad officials declare re-
sponsible for the wreck. There were
several points in Dougherty's testi-
mony which lent strong support to
his contention that he was not to
blame, and that the responsibility
should be placed on those who al
lowed a practically sick man to climb
into the cab of a partly disabled loco
motive and take charge of the fate
of scores of passengers.
Dougherty testified yesterday that
he had reported sick on Wednesday
because he had wrenched his back
badly that afternoon trying to reverse
the big locomotive which on Thurs
day he drove into the old Pullman car
Skylark. He testified that on Tues
day. two days before the accident, he
had trouble with the air-brakes.

NEW GERMAN BATTLESHIP
STICKS FAST ON WAYS

HAMBURG. Germany, June IA
The great German battle cruiser.
hitherto known as *" was to have
been launched this afternoon. but
refused to move from the stocks
after she had been christened the
Derfflinger by General August Won
Mackensen.
The general made a patriotic speech
and broke a bottle of champagne on
her bow at the moment she should
have slid down the ways. She stuck
fast, however and attempts to start
her were finally abandoned owing to
the falling tide. The vessel is
named after famous general,
George Won Derfflinger, who fought
during the Thirty Years War.
