 The victims of the accident were MT. and Mrs. John R. Suydam and MT. and Mrs. William c. Wilson, ali of Brooklyn Wilson's body was car ried for many yards. and then fell at the trackside. He was a salesman. SuydamJ conducted a livery business in Brooklyn and was well known there. -,
 The accident happened between the towns of Farmingdale and Gen. tral Park, Long Island, at what eis described as one of the railroads most dangerous crossings. The high way twists through hilly ground on approaching the tracks, so that the view of the railroad is obstructed. A bell is the only warning to automo- bilists when trains are nearing the highway.

AMERICANS FORGED
 TO TAKE UP ARMS
Disquieting Run1ors of Conditions in Germany Cause Urgent Appeals
 to Be Made to COnsulS.

Washington, D. G., Aug 29.-Amer- ican consuls in Europe are being over- whelmed with appeals for aid from claimants of American citizenship who have been forced to take up arms for the land of their birth.
 In Germany the situation is the most complicated, for the only trea- ties the United States has which touch on this subject were made with the separate states and princi- palities before the confederation of the empire. None of these accept first naturalization papers as a valid obstacle against repatriation.
 Many Americans by adoption who are surgeons or physicians, mechan- ics, or at least material for able bodied soldiers have been or are about to be sent to war. In the cases of those who are bonafide citizens the state department is making rep resentations, but, it was pointed out today, diplomatic bodies move slower than recruiting sergeants.

GERMANY WILL SHIP :.
 CHEMICALS TO U. s.
Stock Will Be Sent to Rotterdam For Despatch to America By
 Dutch Vessels.

Washington, Aug. 29.-A brief cable message announcing that Rot terdam and the chemical works along the Rhine in Germany were in communication and that the German plants would ship dyes ana chemicals to Rotterdam for despatch to America by Dutch ships, was re- ceived yesterday by Representative Metz, of New York.
 This means Representative Metz said, that the chemical indus try of the United States is in touch with the German chemical factories and that they are willing to relieve the emergency that has threatened United States, but the textile inter- ests and other industries which use dyes and other products of the Ger man factories. It's the best news the chemical industry has received in many days, but of course it re- mains to be seen just what and how much the German plants now have in stock
 MT Metz discussed the situation yesterday with Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador and with state department officials. In view of the development the question of send ing MT. Metz to Germany as rep- resentative of the United States in the effort to open up the German sources of the worlds chemical SUD- ply is held in abeyance. Ambassador Bernstorff has promised Germany's support in every possible way to fa- cilitate shipment of chemicals for America.
 One great obstacle now is the open ing up of the cable to Germany.

WILL MAKE PLAIN
 CAUSE OF CONFLICT
Premier Asquith to Address Meetings in Principal Cities in ",
 .5t E, ."rs ~~aI Great Britain. yYs-ava

London, Aug. 2S, S:3O P M.- Premier Asquith has decided to ad- dress meetings in the principal cities in the United Kingdom to make plain i the cause of the war and to set forth that it is the duty of every man to do his part to make the issue success full for the British arms. The pre- mier has directed letters to the lord mayor of the various cities with re- gard to these meetings in which he says:
 ''The time has come for com bined effort to stimulate and organize the greatest conflict in which our peo- pie have ever been engaged. No one who can contribute anything to the accomplishment of this supremely urgent task is justified in standing aside.
 II propose as a first step that meet ings should be held without delay, not only in our great centers of popu- lation and industry, but in every dis trict, urban and rural, throughout the United Kingdom, at which the justice of our cause should be made plain and the duty of every man to dc his part set forth.
 II venture to suggest to your lord- ships that the four principal cities over which you respectively preside should lead the way. I myself am ready, as far as the exigencies of pub lie duty permit, to render such help as I can and I should be glad with that object to address my fellow sub- jects in your cities.
 II have reason to know that I can count upon the cooperation of the leaders in every section of organized political opinion"

New Lighting facilities Make Pia,' 
 house Right Up-il-)a,e.

You'll hardly know the old thea ter now that we have it all fixed up for the coming season." said Manager Birch as he came out of his office to conduct Herald reporter over the Lyceum.
 A glance made it apparent that Manager Birch had not over-exagger- ated the change that has come over the appearance of the playhouse. Every piece of woodwork, ornamental CT plain, from the ceiling to the floor has been redecorated. The general color scheme is the fashionable old ivory which is being used extensive ly in interior decorating this year. The soft gold colors in the ornamental mouldings stand forth in contrast to the simple white of the background. To enhance the color effect pink draperies will be used. Even more pleasing than the appearance of new paint to the eye, is that atmosphere Of cleanness and newness that per- vades the whole building.
 Brand New Switchboard.
 On the stage the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company has installed one of it's latest dead front switch boards. Everything in the lighting arrangement has been brought up to date so that the Lyceum is now equipped for the presentation of any production. To insure safety from fire all wires have been placed in iron conduits.
 Both the border lights and the foot lights are arranged in series of ninety mine, equally distributed in red. white and blue bulbs. These nghfS alone represent over 5000 candle power. Through the agency of dimmers all this brilliancy may be reduced and gradually diminished to nothingness, a new feature of the lighting arrangements. Manager
New Britain herald., 1914-08-29

Birch is planning to try out several novel lighting effects in forthcoming g productions.
 The switch board is able to take care of three wires each carrying g from 125 to 25O volts. It is so di- vided that the real working lights on the stage are independent from the bcrder and footlights The front of the board is arranged so that there is no chance of the operator getting a shock from exposed live wires. Switches in the rear are worked by handles in front In ombination with the twelve dimmers the elec- l trician will be able to get the finest sort of shading effects.
 In keeping with the general re- novation of the stage the dressing rooms have been redecorated and equipped with new lights. Everything possible has been done to render the Lyceum stage adequate for the efficient production of the greatest possible variety of plays
 In the front lobby the decorations arc in pink and gray. Indirect light ing has been installed here. Two new nitrogen lights, the latest thing in in- .candescent lighting, have been placed dI the main entrance 10 the LneaLeT.
 w. P. Nelson and company of New York and Chicago has had charge of the decorating and the G. K. Spring company has installed the new light ing facilities.
 1000 Pounds of Paint.
 Stage carpenters and scenic artists are already at work on the scenery for Your Neighbours Wife," the opening production Manager Birch received today invoices for a thousand pounds of paint which he has ordered from a New York firm of color manu- lecturers. The firm has notified him that the paint will not be shipped until new list of quotations is re- ceived from abroad. A large share of the paint used in scenic art comes from Germany and the dealers report that prices on raw materials have ad- vanced one hundred per cent.
 This shows only one of the many problems that press upon Manager Birch as he lays his plans for the opening of the season on Labor Day, September 7th.
