WILSON RAPs SOME PAPERS

BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, March 23.-Moved by
publications in the Hearst papers,
President Wilson delivered his mind
to the newspaper correspondents re-
Gently on the subject of what he
termed to be misrepresentation in
regard to the women of his family.
He said stories were printed con-
stantly in regard to his wife and
daughters without any basis of fact
and in many cases after the truth
had been furnished on application to
the White House. Being president,
he said, made it impossible for him
to deal with such matters as he might
if he were private individual.
He regretted that his daughters did
not have a brother to shield +
from cowardly attacks. He intimated
that if the practice were continued,
he would decline to admit any repre-
sentatives of the offending news
papers to the White ( House confer
ences or to furnish them ina ny way
with information.

GRADE CROSSING
To.
AID C|TY'S CASE
Testimony Complete In Grade
Crossing Proceedings in City
of Paterson-CoIIeCt Evil
dence in Perth Amboy Fight.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Nov. 5-The State Board
of Public Utility Commissioners yes
terday afternoon completed the TAX
ing of testimony In the matter of the
complaint of the city OF Paterson
against the Erie Railroad Company
for the removal of the grade cross
ings on the Erie In that city. After
all the testimony had been received,
President DOnges, of the board, an
nounced that the case would go to
conference and that the decision
would be rendered later. The Pater.
son authorities formally asked the
board to issue an order directing the
Erie Company to remove it's grade
crossings in the city, all of which
are alleged to be dangerous. The
proceedings were brought under the
Fielder grade crossing law, which
the supreme court several months
ago held to be constitutional.
The case has been before the Util-
lty Board for some months, and the
hearing yesterday was upon the spe-
cial application of the Erie Company
that 1t be permitted to submit testi-
mony as to Its financial condition.
The Erie authorities claim that the
company 1t not financially able to
make this improvement In Paterson,
even If the state board should order
1t to be done. Edward F. Merry
represented Paterson at the hearing
and former Assemblyman Duane E..
Minard and George s. Hobart ap-
peared for the Erie.
The utility board also has before
it awaiting decision similar COM
plant Of the city of Perth Amboy for
the removal of the dangerous grade
crossings in that city. The petition
of Perth Amboy was filed about a
year and a half ago and the state
board conducted hearings thereon in
the summer of 1913, but no decision
has ever been rendered. The state
board said some time ago it was
holding the decision in this case un-
til 1t gathers all necessary legal,
technical and general information to
insure that Its rulings In the case
will stand the test not only of the
state courts, but also of the United
States supreme court.
The towns OF Crawford, Union
,county;4@sand Rutherford, Bergen
county, also have petitions before
the state board for the removal of
dangerous grade crossings, which
were filed several months ago, and
which are involved in the decision
to be rendered some time In the fu-
ture.

TROLLEY CAR IS
DERA|LEO WHEN
ON COUNTY SPAN

Only two or three feet INTERVIEWED
between the passengers of a Jersey
Central trolley car and what might
have proved to be terrible accident
when a crowded car was derailed on
the approach to the trestle OF the
county bridge Tuesday afternoon.
The mishap occurred on Sheridan
street at the Perth Amboy end of the
county structure and the derailed car
stopped only two or three feet from
the embankment.
Considerable excitement WAS mani
tested by the passengers of the car az
it went humping over the ties and
they realized that they were separ-
ated from death by only few feet.
Although safety rails are used on the
trestle, the approach to the bridge
seems to be void of proper safeguards
and If the trolley car had been going
at higher rate of speed Tuesday
than 1t was at the time of the de-
railment, 1t is not only possible but
very probable that 1t would have
plunged over the embankment and
caused horrible fatality.

Man Suicide by
Taking Poison
While on Boat

William P. Daily, son of the late
William P. Daily, a former mayor
of this city, died at the s. R. Smith
Infirmary at New Brighton, s. l.,
yesterday morning from the effects
of a dose of poison that he had swal-
lowed while on the ferryboat Perth
Amboy, enroute from this city to his
home at Rosebank shortly after
8 o'clock Tuesday night. Mrs. Daily
was with her husband at the time.
Daily was forty-three years old and
had resided with his wife and several
children at ga Lyman avenue, Rose
bank, s. l., for the past several
years. He was a marble cutter by
trade, which he had learned while
his father was in business in this city
a number of years ago.
From what could be learned by
the Staten Island police and Coro-
ner James Vail, of Rosebank, Daily
left his home a week ago yesterday
and that his wife did not know
where he had gone. She traced him
to this city and came here Tuesday
to take him back home again. 1t is
believed that she upbraided him on
the boat for his act and he drew
the bottle of poison that contained
atropine that he was using on his
eyes and drank the contents. Deck
hand Baumgarten seeing the man
drain the bottle went in the cabin
to see what the commotion was
about. Daily, who became stupefied
almost instantly, was carried to the
urh of cd
by DR.. Walker Washington, of Tot
tenville, and later taken to the in
firmary in the auto ambulance,
where he passed away without re-
gaining consciousness. Mrs. Daily
went with him in the ambulance
along with Ambulance Surgeon JEFF
ferys.
Daily had worked at the Feist
stone works in Tompkinsville for q
number of years and was said to
have been the best letter cutter on
marble at the place. Some time ago
his eyes went back on him and he
lost his position, it is said, and this
is believed to have caused him to
take his life. Coroner Vail went u
the infirmary yesterday morning and
gave a permit for the removal of the
body to Schaefer's morgue in Staple
ton The funeral will be held tomor-
row and the interment will be made
in this city. Mr.. Dally's mother and
two sisters still reside here. The
latter are Mrs. Joseph Afflerbach and
Mrs Otto Will. Mr.. Daily had been
married twice. His first wife, who
shortly after their marriage divorced
him, was Miss Edna Richardson
of Woodbridge, and his present wife
is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
R. Bunten, of this city.

BELIEVE KREBS
IN \. !. AFTER
SHOOTING TWO
Escaped Inmate of State Hos
pitaI for Insane Still at
Large After Killing Woman
and Wounding Husband.

Richard Won Krebs, an escaped
inmate of the State Hospital for the
Insane at Trenton, who lived on a
farm near New Brunswick, shot and
killed Mrs. Henry Rheil, the wife of
one of his tenants, and probably
fatally wounded Mr.. Rheil at Deans,
near the county seat, yesterday af-
ternoon. The insane refugee was
still at large up to a late hour this
afternoon, and is believed TO have
made his escape to New York
Krebs, it is alleged, came to the
farm rented from him by Mr.. Rhei!,
and without warning shot Mr.. Rheil
down as he was working in the gar
den, emptying two chambers of
revolver into his body. The first
bullet entered the mans abdomen
and the second his left side AS he
fell he screamed for assistance and
his wife came running from the
house. Won Krebs then turned his
weapon on Mrs. Rheil and pouJe ed
four shots into her body, three TAX
ing effect in her left breast and the
fourth entering her abdomen, caus-
ing death instantly.
Won Krebs Is known all over the
county for his erratic actions; once
he waylaid President Wilson when
be was governor of this state and
once he assaulted Circuit Court
Judge Frank T. Lloyd. Four years
ago the man escaped from the state
insane asylum, and has been at large
since that time.
County Physician Carroll this
morning conducted an autopsy on
the body of the murdered woman at
the instigation of Prosecutor william
f. Florance.
/ Won Krebs was seen in this city
about ten days ago, and strange
actions were noted by the police,
though he did nothing to cause him
self to be taken in custody At one
time Won Krebs was employed as
butler by the father of Colonel
Roosevelt, and It was the mans boast
| that he was once a member of the
Kaiser's household. He owns sever
al farms ia Middlesex county.
| Sheriff Appieby and Prosecutor
! Florance were notified soon after
the murder and they began an imme-
ldiate investigation, They found the
! body OF Mrs Rhetl still lying IN Tue
garden. Rheil managed to crawl &c

! son, where he was attended by DR..
George Dunn. In a post mortem
statement Rhetl named Won krebs as
the murderer of his wife, Rheil
condition was reported improved at
st. Peters hospital today.
Always, his neighbors say. Won
Krebs has had a deep-seated hatred
for American laws. A short time ago
he tried to bring Impeachment pro-
ceedings against United States Su-
preme Court Justice Mahlon Pitney.
He has made frequent threats
against all Middlesex county prose-
cutors In recent years and against
other men in public life.
The fugitive, between fifty and
sixty years old, is active and
muscular.

nitely fixed The apartments were
deserted when the flames broke out
and Mr.. Dubrow was in his candy
shop. according to his account of the
origin.
When the fire was discovered a
young man In the street ran to Hall

The Hague, Nov. Enormous
numbers of German reinforcements

Flanders. Reports from Liege state
that for the last three days long

from AK la Chappelle. Two hun
dred cars passed through in one day
and We're followed by eight trains
loaded with ammunition and several
carrying submarines and torpedo
boats In sections, together with their

lieved certain here that the Germans
are determined not only to hack their
way through to coast cities, but they
also plan operations against the
English coast.
The torpedo boats and submarines
have been sent direct to Bruges,
where already large quantities of
naval reserves and active seamen
