ed in the petitions, has convinced US
that the court can permit or conduct
no investigation so fair to all parties
as that which will result from the in-'
stitutien of a suit or suits against the
officials against whom complaint is
n,ada
THE general charge against the for
mer officers and directors of the Frisco
Co. is that they purchased railroad
properties in which they were pecuni-
arily interested to the legal injury of
the Frisco and to their own advant-
age and the court is of the opinion that
these petitions disclose facts sufficient
to entitle the complainants to institute
suit against some of these former
officials.
Regarding appointment of special
counsel Judge Sanborn said that thu
proposed suit is so important and re-
ouires such preparation that special
counsel independent of the counsel
fer the receivers, who can devote the
requisite time and attention to the in
vestigation of the facts and the prep
aration and prosecution of the suit
ought to be appointed to take exclus-
i've charge of it"

Property Loss in New Jersey Will Reach s., 100000
--Giant Breakers Smash Walls and Flood Coast.

New York, Dec. 26.-Two men drown
ed in the East river when their boat
was swamped by the storm. and 10
men-the crews of two barges wrecked
on the New Jersey coast-given up as
lost, is the cost in human lives of the
storm which. swept over this city and
vicinity today. At Seabright, N. j., a
fashionable summer resort, 20 miles
south of here most of the houses have
either been wrecked or are under wa
ter. Several hotels and many fine res
licences were among those undermined
and badly damaged. Seventy families
are homeless.
The damage done to property is es-
tin1ated at 100000, most of it borne
by Seabright and other points along
the northern section of the New Jersey
coast. Most of the property losses are
due to bulkheads giving way under the
onslaught of waves lashed into fury
by a gale which at one time reached
the velocity of 80 miles per hour. Along
the seacoast, many fishermen's- shacks
We're destroyed. The Central Railroad
of New Jersey was put out of commits
sion. Small craft here and there broke
away from their moorings and were
either damaged or lost. A carfoat ran
amnck in the East river sinking eight
motor boats. The Erie station at Jer-
sey City was flooded.
The two three-masted barges whose
crews have been given up as lost were
in tow of the sea-going tug Edgar F.
Luckenbach. While the storm was at
it's worst. the barges broke away and
then drifted in shore midway between

south of Seaside Park, n. ].

Swing crew have so far failed to re-
veal n single survivor on the wrecks.
The tug was reported safe in this port
late tonight.
All doubt as to the fate of the crews
of the wrecked barges was removed
late tonight when the revenue cutters
Seneca and Onondaga, which were
rushed to the scene early today, re-
ported that no trace of the men had
been found. Life savers on shore had
not been able to reach the wrecks and
they declared it was out of the ques-
ton that any of those on board could
have lived in such sea as prevailed
all day.

William Moher Seriously
Wounds Mary Levesque.
Opens Fire in Drawing Room Of
Mfg. Co. al Manchester, NH.
Turns Gun on Self and Drinks Half
Pint Of Carbolic Acid.

Manchester, n. H, Dec. 26.-Mary
Levesque, 25 years old, of 103. Mill
street. was shot and seriously wound
ed by William Moher, 35 years old, in
the English comb drawing room of
the Southern division of the Amoskeag
Manufacturing Co, at 1915 o'clock to-
day and is in the Sacred Heart hos
pitaI in a critical condition.
Moher lies dead in the police morgue
from self inflicted bullet wounds and
a half pint of carbolic acid which he
swallowed Immediately after the
shooting. The tragedy was witnessed
by Moher's mother and his sister,
who we're eating their dinner between
the huge spinning frames when Mo-
her opened fire on the woman with a
32-calibre revolver. So far as could be
determined by the police, but one of
the four bullets said to have been fired
by Moher took effect. This entered
her left cheek and ploughed down
through her mouth and throat, clip
ping her tongue off and smashing her
teeth.
The only shot which injured Moher
was apparently due to accident, the
bullet striking the palm of his left
hand This splintered the bone and
arteries and lodged in the wrist joint.
Medical Referee Watson, who viewed
the body soon after the shooting, pro-
nounced death due to suicide by
drinking carbolic acid.

Continued Investigations into
Highway Graft in New York.

Albany, n. Y, Dec. 26.-Owen L.
Kerney, formerly section superintend-
ent of the state canal system, with
headquarters at Cohoes testified to-
day at the Osborne investigation into
the state highway department that he
had received approximately $4,000 from
canal workmen in contributions dur
ing the political campaign of 1912.
These contributions represented as
sessments on all the workmen within
his territory for period of five months
and We're on a basis of about per
cent. of their salary for that time
Receipts were produced to show that
of the funds so collected 1914 went to
kearney's immediate superior, Wal
ter CT. Robinson, the canal division su-
perintendent.
The witness understanding was that
the money paid to Robinson was pass
ed on to the Democratic state COM
mittee.
Charges of enforced contributions
from canal employees had been made
previously by John A Hennessy, Gov
ernor Sulzer's investigating commits
sioner.
James X Mcclure, former mayor of
Syracuse, appeared under subpoena by
Henry A. Rubino, counsel for the War
ner-Q Quinlan Aschait Co, on the re-
sumption of the charges affecting
Highway Commissioner Carlisle.

St. Louis. Dec. 26.-Receivers OF the
st. Louis &, San Francisco Railroad
Friday were directed by Circuit Judge
Sanborn in the United States district
court to bring a restitution suit against
present and former directors of the
railroad
The order of the court is qualified
only by the provision that suits shall
be brought if the special counsel ap-
pointed today believe that they can be
successfully maintained
That the special counsel will be con-
vineed that such suits would De sue
cessful is generally agreed as the at
torncys are the men who represented
William w. Niles of New York, a
Frisco stockholder, in his petition for
permission to bring restitution suits.
The suits are to be based on the sale
to the Frisco of feeder lines that were
promoted by a syndicate of which GER
tain 'Frisc~ officials were members.
The order of the court was two-fold.
1t denied the application for permis-
sion to file suit: it directed the receiv-
ers to file the suit, if the counsel
thought the action could be made.
Inc court appointed DIS SptClil COuH
sci for the receivers, John d. Johnson
and Lewis Johnson, who We're attor
neys for Niles. These attorneys were
given exclusive charge of the suits,
which thereby were taken from the ju-
risdiction of w. F. Evans, general
counsel for the Frisco Railroad, and
Henry S. Priest, counsel for the re-
ceivers.
Attorney for Niles had argued that
the receivers were not the proper per-
sons to bring suit because two of them
w. C. Nixon and w. B. Biddle-had
bene closely associated in Frisco af-
fairs with those whom it was desired
to sue.
Judge Sanborn ruled against this
point and held that the receivers were
the proper persons to bring suit. How
ever. he vested exclusive control of
the suit in James w. Lusk, chairman
of the receivers. who was appointed
receiver less than a month ago and
who previously had no official connec-
ton with the Frisco.
Judge Sanborn in his decision was
careful to make plain that he had
formed no opinion as to the justice of
the allegations against former officials
of the railroad. The decision says;

intention OF becoming members of the

gin hearings until next week. Secre-
tary McAdoo left his office today suf-
fering from a slight fever and the 9TH
er committeeman, Secretary Houston,
decided to abandon the task until Mr..
McAdoo's recovery.
1t was said tonight that the hard
fight Mr. McAdoo made to aid in per-
fecting the currency laws has told up
on him. He was a constant adviser OF

tees and shouldered much of the bur
den of representing President Wilson

ness is not believed to be serious, hut
he is not expected to return to his desk

Alienists Appearing Against
Hans Schmidt, on Trial
For Murder in New York,
Say Bluffing Has Been
Done Cleverly

New York. Dec. 26.-That Hans
Schmidt, now on trial for the murder of
Anna Aumuller, has been shamming in
sanity was the burden OF testimony
given today by four alienists appearing
for the state.
Or. Carlos F. Macdonald. the first ex-
pert called by the prosecution, testified
that on Sept. "a the accused priest had
told him:
Il did it. 1 am willing for the law
to take its course and you can have my
body"
Or. Macdonald gave it as his opinion
that Schmidt is a man of superior intel
ligence and that he has slammed in
sanity much more cleverly than an ig-
norant person could have done.
DR.. George II. Kirby said that he had
found the prisoners mind to be working
rapidly. That the accused had answered
all questions readily and connectedly
when he examined him last October, was
the testimony given by DR.. Allen r. DEF
fendorf DR.. William Maybon testified
similarly. Each side will sum up to-
morrow.

thereupon was delegated to confer

The session there was warm. The Cit

that he retract statements credited TO

RECAINS TITLE.

Receivers Mobility Patent
Granted an Ancestor IN 1890 by
King CarOIus Of Sweden.
Had Been Sold by Father TO Sister,.
Court Orders Return.

Salem Mass, Dec. 26.-(SpeciaD.
Judge Peters in the superior court to-
day handed down his decision in the
so-called Title of Nobility Case in
which Charles julius Wendall of Skow-
hegan, Me-, was suing his sister, Mrs.
Mary Macdonald of Rockport for the
custody of patent of nobility coat of
arms and genealogical table which he
claims was granted his ancestor,
Adolph Wendall, from Carolus, King
of Sweden.
The decision gives Wendall the title
of nobility and the other things he
asks for and further states that they
are to be his to hold for himself and
his descendants.
Thus, Charles Julius Wendall, by or
der of the Massachusetts superior
court, becomes a nobleman of Sweden
with the title of "Adelman."
The patent is a document 20 by SO
inches in size, emblazoned in bronze
and black, signed in 1890 by King
IdEoIuS Al anu pediih5 the 10y dl oedi
and coat of arms.
There was also with it a curiously
carved wooden box containing the Of
fetal seal that goes with the title and
sealing wax.
Wendall claimed that his father,
Charles Christian Wendalh held the
title and the other possessions that
went with it up to the time just prior
to his death, when he sold them to
Mary Macdonald fer SO and that his
father had no right to sell them, as
the Oldest son is the holder.
