PASSENGERS IN PANIC
ABOARD TROLLEY CAR
WHEN II TAKES FIRE
Several Hurt in
Rush to Reach
the Road
DAMAGE SLIGHT

Several persons were injured and
a panic occurred during fire scare
on Public Service trolley car No.
1,946 near Bonhamtown shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Anna Sweeney, of 1872 Paterson
street, who is matron at Proctor's
theatre, claims she was bruised
about the left arm and that her five
year old daughter, Helen, was bruis-
ed about the head during the excite
ment. Mrs. Sweeney says she saw a
woman trampled on and several
other persons pushed about and in
jured in the wild scramble to get out
OF the car.
The fire was slight and caused
little Of no damage. 1t occurred In
q connection box under the center
of the car, as 1t WAS being driven
towards this city. 1t was comforta-
bly, filled with forty passengers at
the time. One woman seated near
the center of the car, saw smoke
coming from the floor and hastily
notified Conductor Kierst, who hales
from South Amboy. He summoned
Motorman James ]. Connolly, OF this
city, who stopped the car and went
to the scene Of the fire with an axe.
After lifting section of the
flooring, he discovered the fire smol-
dering In connection box. 1t was
due to dampness, which caused q
sort of a short circuit. AS he endea-
vored to separate the wires with the
handle Of the axe he held, there came
a binding flash and, according to
Mrs. Sweeney, the greatest kind Of
excitement prevailed for the next few
minutes. She asserts every one in
the car made wild and frantic effort
to get out and as a result, there was
Jam In both ends. Women and
children were not given due consid-
Grafton by the men and one woman
fell down and was trampled on, she
claims. Efforts to learn her identity
proved futile.
Mrs. Sweeney, with her daughter
by the hand, was in the crowd which
tried to get out of the front door at
one time. She claims to have been
pushed against the side of the door
and sustained bruises about the up
per part of her left arm.
1t was denied by Motorman Con-
nelly and at the Public Service car
barns this afternoon that there was
any panic or great scare aboard the
car and that anybody had been in
1ured. Connolly claimed the passen-
gers went out of the car quietly and
declared that none were pushed of
the steps into the mud.
The car left New Brunswick short
ly after o'clock yesterday after
noon and did not arrive here until
1880 o'clock last night, because Of
the accident, Mrs. Sweeney claims.
When the crew pulled the pole from
the overhead feed wire after the fash
the fire was extinguished. Efforts
were then made to repair the wiring
SO as to prevent further short-cir-
cutting.
One woman passenger Is claimed
to have been burned about the eyes
when the flash occurred within the
car. A Public Service official de-
clares he has no report Of such an
injury. He states the fash probably
blinded the woman temporarily,
causing her to think she was burned.

OF PROOF
THAT MAN DIED
FROM INJURIES
Hsaring of Benjamin kubie
on Murder Charge is
Adjourned Until Today
POLICE ONLY HAVE WORD
OF DR.. CARROLL

Because Of the absence of testi-
as the result of a hemorrhage, the
hearing Of Benjamin Kubic was ad-
journed from 4 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon until o'clock this after
noon. Assistant Prosecutor Joseph
E. Stricken representing the state,
asked for the adjournment because
the police had only County Physi-
clan Carroll s word through Coron-
er James J. Flynn that death was
due to the cause given.
An effort will be made to have the
county physician present at the
hearing this afternoon, to testify di-
rectly regarding the condition he
found the brain in when he per-
formed an autopsy Friday after
noon. At the same time, DR.. Will
liam E. Ramsay may appear in re-
buttal, to testify that Vargo did not
die as the result of a hemorrhage
of the brain. 1t is understood that
the defense will be that Vargo died
OF alcoholism. 1t is freely admit
ted that he had drank heavily for
some time and especially since the
middle of the month.
1t is admitted by the defense that
Kubic had a scuffle with Vargo,
but it is claimed that was some time
before he retired on the couch on
which he was found dead Friday
morning.
Kubic is being held without bail.

WASHINGTON ORDERS
AUTHORITIES TO LET
MRS. PANKHURST IN
Wilson
Took a Hand
in Matter
SPEAK TONIGHT

bNtCtut w CHItSd ETtSS TNe.
Washington, Oct. 20.-Following
conference between President Will
son and Secretary of Labor Wilson,
it was announced at the White House
that Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst, the
British militant suffragette leader,
would be admitted to the United
States without bonds. She will be
permitted to ener the country on
her own recognizance. Secretary.
Wilson said that this action was
taken because of the fact that there
was serious doubts that her acts in
England constituted moral turpitude
Should she break the law in this
country Secretary Wilson said it will
be an easy matter to arrest and de-
port her.
Following this admission Commits
sioner Caminetti wired the Ellis Is
land officials at New York, to re-
lease the English woman who has
been detained there since her arrival
last Saturday
The Pankhurst lawyers express
sed confidence that their client
ceived two kilograms today from
CdllIOTHld SuuIdSelle leaders pro-
testing against the admission of Mrs.
Pankhurst. They declared her visit
here would seriously injure the
cause" in this country
While the hearing before Caminet-
ii was in progress President Wilson
was asked regarding his attitude to-
ward the militant suffragette leader.
He said it was more matter of
policy than one of law. Because of
the fact that no attempt had been
made to interfere with Mexican poll
tical refugees there was a general
impression that the sympathies of
the President were with Mrs. Pank-
hurst and that If compelled to he
would interfere in her behalf. Sem
ators Chamberlain and Lane, of Ore-
gon, notified Attorneys Herbert
Reeves and Frank S. O'Neil, who
represent Mrs. Pankhurst, that they
will aid her in every possible way.
In addition Mrs. Emma Gillette, dean
of the Washington College of Law,
and Attorney George E. Mcdonald
were on hand at the hearing ready
to help if needed.

Officers of Railroad Make
Raid on Freight Car Thieves
Last Night.
ONE BOY CAUGHT AFTER
SHOOTING STARTS
Gives Names of Others I'M
pIicated-- Gang from Eliza
beth Working In Vicinity

Several shots fired in an effort to
halt boy thieves who had been rob-
bing a Central railroad freight car
caused scare among residents
about Second and Gordon streets
shortly before o'clock last night.
They resulted In the capture of one
fugitive, Andrew Finan, thirteen
years old, of 256 Smith street. When
arraigned this morning he gave the
names of two other boys whom he
said were guilty of theft. He said
there was large gang Of thieving
boys from this city and Elizabeth,
who the police afterward declared
were in fair way to become pro-
fessional criminals. The Elizabeth
members had a lair in the meadows
near that city until 1t was raided by
the police of that place on Saturday.
Several of the most active characters
were taken prisoners.
The Finan boy denied completely
in the act to rob Central railroad
freight car at the junk yard of Her.
man Ellis, just west of Second street
and south of Gordon street, last
night. He admitted being there at
the time, but claimed he only OBJ
served as two others boys were med
After giving the identity of two boys
from this city, whom he said were
directly implicated, he was paroled
by Recorder Pickersgill until z
o'clock Wednesday night. An effort
will be made to arraign the other
boys at that time.
So much thieving has been going
on about railroad property here of
late that the Central Railroad Com
pany decided it was time to call a
halt to it. Detectives have been on
watch nightly along it's property
through this city and will continue
SO indefinitely. Detective Martin
Malley guarded a section about the
Central freight house and southwark
to Raritan river last night. At about
1855 o'clock he saw a gang of boys
at work upon the door of a freight
car at the Ellis yard. AS he attempt
ed to sneak up to them, they became
alarmed and fed In various direc-
tions. He made eyain attempt to
catch several and missed all. Ac-
cording to spectators, he fired sever
al shots and one bullet just grazed
the head of Miss Mary German, of
100 Second street, according to her
story. She was going out OF her
home at the time and heard man
running from the yard in the rear of
her home. AT that instant a shot
rang out and she almost collapsed
with fright.
Malley captured the Finan boy
after a short chase and turned him
over to Patrolman Reager. He was
charged with petty larceny.
