Germany, British warships will stop
her. The British government will con-
slider the transfer illegal and the yes

a statement of the British attitude
concerning the general proposition OF
the transfer Of German ships was made
10 the Washington government some
months ago when President Wilson's
proposal for acquiring German ships
was first advanced, and within the last
few days further representations were
made with specific regard TO the Dacia
and another steamer which appears to
have the same status.
Ambassador Spring-Rice has simply
informed the State Department that if
the Dacia endeavors TO engage in Ger
man trade England must reserve her
rights TO take what action she deems
proper The officials here will not
openly say so, but there is apparently
the belief that the Washington govern
mont owes 1t 70 neutrality to prevent
the sailing Of the Dacia TO Germany.
So long as definite information has
been given TO Washington respecting
the British attitude responsibility in
the matter, IL is considered, will rest
with the government rather than the
owners.

Train and Murphy, Angry
Quit Inquiry Into 81
Fatal Collision.

According to its contract with the
Public Service Commission, which
Coroner Rordan read into his record
yesterday in investigating the fatal
collision on the elevated at 10th ST.
December 9, the Interborough does not
have to remove its wooden cars from
elevated lines until July /, 1899. The
contract shows that one-half the sub
way cars are of wood, copper sheathed.
Balky motors on elevated trains,
such as that which is blamed for the
collision, are frequent and do not
worry motormen. That was the sub
stance Of the testimony given yester-
day by Anthony G. Abraitos, motor
man.
Arthur c. Train and Deacon Murphy,
Assistant District Attorneys, thought
the Coroner was wasting time Wnen
he began 10 ask Abraitos and other
emploves as to the rules Of the Inter
borough.
81 have had Mr.. Hedley on the tele-
phone" said Mr.. Train, "and can sum-
mon him or other officials at any mo-
ment to give authentic information.
We have the evidence, maps and dla-
grams, and are ready to prove who:,

Coroner Riordan felt that he was
being bearded in his own inquiry.
"Do you want TO take 1t all! ne
asked. Indignantly; 81 heard that the
District Attorneys Office was conduct

that I'd like to have assistance IN the

staIked out of the room and Coroner
Riordan went ahead unimpeded by the

who the guilty persons might be.

Because of the condition Of the VIC

in charge Of the trains caught IN the
subway, the several official INQUIRIES
were at a standstill yesterday.
Other witnesses are expected to APP

day. What he has learned thus FAR
leads him TO the belief that thGIe VIII
be no indictments.

we would develop would be Things that
may guide TO safer operation in the
future" he said "So far there IS moth
ing to show criminal negligence on
anybOdy's part"
Mr.. Breckenridge has learned that on
the morning of the accident the circuit
breakers-the instrument described by
experts as akin to the safety valve on
a steam boiler-did give notice that
something was wrong.
Commissioner Adamson was busy
yesterday trying TO find out why an
hour and twelve minutes was per
mitted to elapse before an alarm was
pulled in He did not find out, but he
was inclined 20 thin6 II was because
the subway employee felt they could
handle the trouble themselves.
Mr.. Adamson appointed Cher Ken
lon, J. O. Hammett, of the Fire Pre-
vention Bureau, and 7. A. Bates, head
of the Telegraph Bureau. to look into
the matter of subway fire protection
generally. Their findings will be submit
ted 70 the Public Service Commission,
with whom Mr.. Adamson conferred be-
fore issuing the necessary order.
Burning out of circuit at l4th ST.
in the early rush hour yesterday
caused six minutes delay and world
of nervousness, but no panic. The
trouble was caused by the falling Of a
brake shoe from a train to the third

except Patrolman Michael De Cuiro are
out of danger. De Guro, who is in the
Polytechnic, will recover unless unex-
pected complications develop, though
at first it was thought he could not
live. il being necessary TO use a pull
motor on him for hours after he
reached the hospital. De Guiro's con-
dition is due TO his returning to the
subway after being once knocked out
against the advice of the ambulance
surgeon who attended him.
The funeral of Miss Ellen O'Grady,
the only person killed in the accident,
will take place from the Church Of st.
