LACK OF PULLMANS SAVED
COLLEGE GIRLS IN WRECK

STANFORD, Conn, June IA
party of wellesley College girls owe
their lives, or at least their present
state of bounding health. to the lack
of Pullman equipment on the New
Haven Railroad. A number of the
young lady collegians, coming home
for the summer holiday. attempted
to secure parlor-car accommodations
on the first section of the Boston
Express at South birmingham,
Mass, but were told that the last
seats in the doomed Skylark had been
sold, and they would have to take
chances in the second section.
Even in the second section the girls
could not secure Pullman acconmoda-
lions. They were forced to sit in one
of the day coaches and were there
when the crash came.
Among them were the Misses Mild
red Upton. Miss Helen Martin, OF
New Brunswick, N. j., and Miss Alice
Cary, all of the class of 1915.
Just before the crash came they
heard the conductor tell a passenger
that the train was behind time and
to make up time the train was some
times forced to go as fast as sixty
miles an hour or more.

SPRECKELS MILLIONS ARE
TO BE DISTRIBUTED NOW

SAN FRANCISCO. June 1.-THE
final chapter in the litigation over the
100000 estate of the late Claus
Spreckels probably was written yes
terday when the State Supreme Court
denied the appeal of John D. and A.
B. Spreckels, who were not left a
share of the property.
Distribution of the estate to the
other two brothers, Rudolph and
Claus A. Spreckels, and the daugh>
ter, Mrs. Emma Ferris. probably will
be begun at once by the Superior
Court In which the will was filed for
probate.
John D. and A. B. Spreckels were
cut off in the will because they all
ready had received by gift much
property before their fathers death,
The contestants may yet delay the
distribution of the estate by applying
to the United States courts for a writ
of error.

u. S. SHIPS CANNOT BE
USED AS TRADE AGENTS

WASHINGTON, June A.-Already
the navy department is beginning to
receive inquiries from commercial or
carnations throughout the country
regarding the bill recently introduced
In Congress providing for the utiliza-
ton of naval vessels for the dis
play of American goods in for
eign ports. If these continue to come
the department probably will be
obliged to get out circular answer
pointing out the utter impracticability
of such a project from the naval
standpoint.
Officiais declare naval vessels are
not constructed to carry cargoes and
that although they are rated at so
many thousand tons displacement,
once their stores and coal are aboard
they are fully loaded and any addi-
ton to that load might sink them.

PUTTING
WATER ON TRAINS
Erie Asks Writ Against Order
of Utilities Board Affecting
Short Runs.

On behalf of the Erie Railroad and
its subsidiary companies, O. S. Ho-
bart, of Jersey City, today applied to
Chief Justice Gummere for a writ of
certiorari restraining the Public Util-
tiles Commission from putting into
effect its order of June last, order
ing the railroads of the State to fur
nish drinking water on all passenger
trains whose running time from
starting point to destination exceeds
thirty minutes.
After considerable discussion of the
matter the chief justice announced
that he would take the papers in the
matter under advisement and render
decision later.
Frank II. Sommer, as counsel for
the Public Utilities Commission,
stated that he had no objection to d
writ being granted, as the question.
will have to be determined by the
higher courts eventually.
The order to supply drinking
water is dated June ?. and becomes
effective on June %, and it was
>
| order was allowed to go into effect
at that time and later be declared
| illegal the railroad would have been
| put to unnecessary expense. He
called attention to the fact that a
| similar order issued last January had
been stayed by writ of certiorari
and that the new order which diff
fered but little from the old one, had
been issued the day before the old
order was to have been argud in the
| Supreme Court. With the issuing of
the new order argument on the old
one before the Supreme Court had
been withdrawn by consent of coun-
| sci on both Sides leaving the ques-
ton stand. just where it did last
January
Chief-Justice Gummere stated that
he was willing to grant the right to
review the action of the utility COM
mission, but would not grant a stay
in the order going into effect on
June % next. Mr.. Hobart said the
opposition of the railroads to tho
order was based on the fact that it
made an arbitrary time basis for
furnishing water. He commended the
order should be based on a mileage
basis and said the Erie was not fur
nishing water on runs extending over
thiyty or thirty-ive miles. He con-
tended that the passengers on trains
having shorter runs would not need
a drink of water during the time
they were on the train.
This caused Chief Justice Gummert
to bring laugh from those present
in the courtroom by remarking: 81
can understand that If the Erie rail.
road would say to every passenger
before taking a train, to travel g
short distance, take a drink NEAR
drink of water-water would moi
be needed on the trains. But doe:
the railroad do that? Not to my
knowledge"
Mr.. Hobart submitted figures tc
show that it would cost the Erie rail
road $1e,425 yearly to supply watel
on trains running on suburban linei
that are not now supplied.

Extortion Charges Against
Gloucester Men.
.Fsom n stan Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA June 14.-A thor
ough investigation of the charges OF
extortion and obtaining money
under false pretenses brought
against Prosecutor Joseph y.
Summerill, of Gloucester coun-
ty; Freebooter Joseph B. Best
and others will be made by District
Attorney Samuel P. Rotan, it was
announced here today. The others
mentioned in the complaint brought
by David Wilson Moore, jr., of Clay
ton, N. j., are George w. Dicken-
sheets, president of the First Ma
tional Bank, of Woodbury.. and Harry
Stille. a wealthy contractor and men,
Der of the Clayton School Board.
Following the issuance of new com-
plants against the accused men by
Magistrate Beaton, before whom the
defendants failed to appear yester-
day, a request to issue warrants for
the defendants as "fugitives from
Justice" was made by counsel for the
compliments. 1t was announced that
Magistrate German, who presided at
a hearing given to the accused men
last week, would defer his decision
III the matter until later date.
The position of the prosecution was
set forth in letter sent to District
Attorney Rotan by Russell Duane
and other counsel for the complain
ants. The letter, in part, is as fol-
lows:
Your attention has doubtless been
called through the public prints to
prosecution instituted before Magis-
trate German, May 81, against Jo-
seph j. Summerill, prosecuting attor-
ney of Gloucester county, N. J.; Jo-
seph B. Best, George w. Dickin-
sheets and Harry Stille, prominent
residents of that State. l feel 1t my
duty, as one of the counsel for this
prosecution. to call your attention to
the fact that certain favors and ex-
emptions are apparently being ex-
tended to these defendants which are
not ordinary accorded to prisoners
accused of such crimes as that of
blackmail and conspiracy to extract
money.
"In view of the prominence of these
defendants and the Importance of
this prosecution, as well as the I'M
usual course of these proceedings, 1
have deemed it proper in behalf of
my three colleagues and myself to
address this letter to you as the
prosecuting officer of this county,
with the thought that you should
know the above facts in order that
you may be in a position to take such
action with regard to them as you
may deem proper. I think you will
agree with me that the foregoing
facts are worthy Of your careful con-
sideration."

LEATHER PLANT SHED
BURNS, FACTORY SAVED

After a fight of more than an hour
a fire starting in a storage shed of
the Stengel & Rothschild leather
plant, at Maine and Kossuth streets,
was finally gotten under control by
the firemen last night and prevented
from spreading to other parts of the
factory. The quick work of the fire.
men saved the main building of the
company, separated from the shed
by only a twentyfoot alley.
OF one story frame construction
the storage-house proved good fuel
for the flames and for awhile the fire
seemed serious. It was discovered
by a Waterman soon after 10 o'clock.
Estimates placed the loss at $4,000.
