CHURCHILL URGED
FOR DIST. ATTORNEY
Friends of Head of Education
Board Suggest His Nominal
ton by Democrats.

Friends Of Thomas W. Churchill,
president of the Board Of Education,
are urging his nomination for District
Attorney on the Democratic ticket this
fall. In the last year Mr.. Churchill
has incurred the displeasure of Mayor
Mitchell and members of the Board of
Estimate BY fighting for the right Of
the Board IF Education to have all the
money it wishes to spend, regardless
of the Board of Estimate. 1t is said
that Mr.. Churchill realizes that his po-
sition as president of the Board of Ed
ucation will be increasingly difficult
owing to the proposed greater econo-
mics campaign.
As he is politically ambitious, the
friends of Mr.. Churchill have suggest
ed that he would find an easy way out
Of his present difficulties IL he could
get the nomination for District Attor-
ney.
Although he stands well with Tam
many, the leaders are not at the pres
ent time looking upon his name with
any particular favor. Tammany real

PELL RECKLESS,
SAY WITNESSES
Drove Car Into Lighted Train
That Whistled for Crossing,
Is L. |. r. R. Defence.

Testimony that s. Osgood Pell drove
his automobile at reckless speed on
the tracks of the Long Island Railroad
was given in defence Of the railroad by
witnesses before Justice Aspinall and a
jury in the Supreme Court, Queens
County, yesterday, the fifth day Of Mrs.
Elizabeth Warden Pell's suit for $780,
OOG damages for the death of her hus-
band.
In addition to Mrs. Pell's suit Mrs.
Nathalie 6. Laimbeer is suing the rail
road for S25O,O00 damages for the
death of her husband, William Lain
beer, and s25O,OOO for her own injuries.
The widow Of the chauffeur asks s40,-
600 damages. The Pell case will prob
ably go to the jury tomorrow.
The strongest witnesses Of the day
for the railroad were Jacob Koppel, of
$50 Grand Street; Michael Rogalsky, of
% West 18th Street; Alexander Wolff,
Of 50 Forsythe Street, all of Manhat-
tan, and Michael Nadel, of 1866 East
err Parkway, Brooklyn. These four
were members of an automobile party
bound from Arverne to Long Beach on
Sunday night. August 3, 1918. They
testified that when their automobile
got to within about 300 feet of the
Wreck Lead crossing they saw a train
approaching.
All said they saw the headlight and
noticed that two or three cars were
lighted. As they got over the crossing
and were about fifty feet beyond the
tracks an automobile, which they after
ward learned was the Pell machine,
passed them at high speed.
Rogalsky was so sure that there
would be a collision that the opened
the door and jumped out while the
machine was still going. Just as the
collision occurred they saw streaks of
electric light fare from the tracks and
the lights in the cars go out. Wolf
testified that he told his chauffeur that
he had no right to 60 over the cross
ing in the face of an oncoming train,
but this evidence was ruled out.
Miss Vida White, fifteen years old,
who lives about half a mile from the
crossing, said she saw the train APP
proach with the three front cars light
ed. She heard the whistle for the
crossing and suddenly saw a dazzling
flare of blue light. All the lights in
the cars went out and the girl heard a
crash.
Several other witnesses gave similar
testimony.

After all, most people are just and
reasonable when brought face to

Visor can act privately as an un-

Answering questions, however, will
not comprise the entire work of the

AFFIDAVIT MAKER
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Stahl Acts Barred When Ar
raigned for Perjury in Lusi-
tania Gun Yarn.

Gustav Stahl, German reservist and
chief Lusitania affidavit maker, VINO
swore he saw four 6-inch guns aboard
the Cunarder before she sailed on her
last Hateful trip from this port, was
arraigncd in the Criminal Branch OF the
Federal Court yesterday afternoon and
pleaded not guilty before Judge Russell!
TO a perjury Indictment He wore an
air of bravado when he was led INTO
the courtroom, shackled to a deputy
marshal. He paid no attention to the
court proceedings. Acting upon the
motion Of Assistant United States At
torney Roger B. Wood, Judge Russell
remanded Stahl to the Tombs IN de
fault Of $4,000 bail. and set his trial
for July ~.
Neither Stahl nor his counsel, former
United States Attorney Harold S. Dem
ing, had anything TO say after the
court proceedings. 1t is thought, how
ever, that Stahl will eventually make a
confession, in an effort to escape the
peniteitnary. His counsel's request
that Stahl be given until July 6, IN
which to enter a change OF plea was
considered as ground for the belief
that the prisoner reservist may expose
the German Secret Service ring which,
Federal agents believe. instigated the
Lustania affidavit scandal.
Heinz Hardenberg, former roommate
of Stahl, and alleged member of the
German Secret Service, who disappeared
mystcriously after having been brought
to this city from Cincinnati to testify
against Stahl, has not been found yet.
Stahl's attorney said last night that
he expected to get bail for his client
within a few days. He refused to dis
close the identity of the prospective
bondsman for the reservist, who. &C
cording to Federal Investigators was
friendless, homeless and out of work up
to the day on which his affidavit was
filed with the State Department.

DOCTRINES TAUGHT
BY MISSIONARIES
STIR UP STRIFE
(By Associated Press.)


Peking, June 29.-American mis-
sionaries and others have again be-
come prominent in Peking over
matter which promised seriously to
affect not only their work but the
principles for which they stood. The
case was that Of a Chinese admiral
and two minor officers who were re-
lieved from their positions because
they refused to take an oath, ac-
cording to the new regulations OF
the government, before the images
in the temple dedicated 20 certain
war heroes. The matter was
brought by a certain American to
the attention of President Yuan
Shi-kai, and it was pointed out that
this was by no means the doctrine
of religious liberty to which the or
ganizers of the Chinese republic had
pledged themselves. The argument
in reply declared that the regula-
tions were drafted with no idea OF
transgressing the rights and beliefs
OF any Chinese citizens, but the num-
ber of Christians being so compara-
lively small throughout the nation,
no special consideration had been
given to them.
/ The officers were subsequently re-
instated, and were permitted to take
oath in a form acceptable to Chris
| ians.

IVES OF FOREIGNERS IN
| MEXICO CITY ENDANGERED
ALTHOUGH PROTECTION
HAS been PROMISED
DAVIS PACKAGE LAW WILL
INCREASE TAXES

Jacksonville, June 29-Duval
county will be included with the
rest of the counties over the State
which will have to provide extra
millage in the taxes for the coming
year on account of the Davis pack
age law, passed by the recent State
legislature, and which goes into ef-
feet on October 1.
1t was stated today by Tax Asses
sor L. G. Hitchcock that the county
of Duval would lose in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 in annual revenue
from the licenses of saloons when the
bill goes into effect, and that this
amount of take will have to be pro-
vided from other sources. Mr..
Hitchcock stated that at least 70
per cent of the saloons would be for
ced to the wall, and that the rest
could exist on the bottle trade that
they will receive.
The city and State will suffer pro
portionately from the loss Of reve.
nue., and will necessarily have to
raise their millage. The Davis law
will raise the county and State tax
, about one mill each, according te
the above figures.
