Subway Explosion in
New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Dorothy
Maddalena, of 277 Summit avenue,
Jersey City Heights, an assistant
nurse in the National Cloak and Suit

the eaVe-in occurred, she said. Two
cars came along just as the street
opened up" she said "One of the
cars slid down into the opening end
up. The passengers struggled TO their
feet and / could see them breaking the
windows to get out. Many people
who were walking on the street were
swallowed up. They grabbed the pave
ment, which sank from under their
feet. The screams of the people were
terrible as the cars struck the bot
tom.
'I could see people on the street
holding on to each other when the
ground broke. 1t was as If they were
buried alive"
Miss Maddalena became hysterical
after telling her story and had to be
attended. When she recovered she
went to her work in the Emergency
Hospital.
Samuel Klein. of 100 Willett street,
employed as a furrier at 304 Seventh

running board when the explosion
occurred
He said he was thrown of the car
Just as 1t dropped, and he fell to the

OF him. He managed to scramble to
a place Of safety. where he collapsed.
He was attended and removed to a

SHIPPING TRUST"
RECE|VERSH|P IS
NOW PERMANENT
Chauncey Parker Named When
Reorganization of Int. Mer-
camille Marine Fails.

An order signed by Vice Chancellor
Stevens. appointing Chauncey G.
Parker permanent receiver of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Com
pany was filed in Trenton today.
The concern is a holding company.
owning the entire capital stock of the
American, Red Star, White Star,
Dominion and Atlantic Transport
lines, and a majority of the stock of
the Leyland and National lines.
When the International Mercantile
Marine Company was organized some
years ago it was financed through
the Morgan interests and attracted
great attention in the financial world.
Some years ago it was sued by the
United STATES government as mo-
nopoly and doing business in viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust act.
The permanent receivership order
was obtained by Arthur F. Egner, of
the firm of McCarter & English, rep
resenting Emerson T.. Parsons, vice
president of the CO. amy.
The company Las defauited in the
payment OF interest on $52, ,594 900 of
it's four and one-half per cent. bonds,
which are outstanding, and the $17,-
hands of the public. The interest has
accrued since October /, 1914. There
is outstanding of the capital stock of
the company $51, 726, 300 preferred and
$40, ,8f2 400 common.
In January. 1911, the company was
prosecuted by the department of JUS
tice for violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. In April of this year the
New York Trust Company brought
a suit in the United States District
Court for the southern district of
New York to foreclose on the four and
one-half per cent. bonds. In this suit
Philip A. S. Franklin was appointed
receiver Later in the same month
the Fidelity Thust Company, of Phila-
delphia, rs trustee under the mortgage
securing the five per cent. bonds, had
the receivership extended to protect
the rights of the holders of the FIVE
per cent bonds.
In August of this year a commit
tee of the bondholders was organized
to reorganize the company, and is
sued a notice to all of the holders OF
securities of the corporation.
The plan of reorganization con-
templated q reduction In the capitali-
zation of the company and a redue-
ton of the annual fixed charges. In
their prospectus, the committee said:
'The earnings for the current year,
owing to the unprecedented existing
conditions, promise to be largely IN
excess of the average for the past six
years, but the committees have not
deemed such current earnings as
proper basis for fixing either the
capital or the fixed charges Of the
new company as the actual final re-
suits of this years operation, con-
sidering possible losses of ships and
extraordinary operating expenses,
due to necessity for war risk insur-
ance, increase in premiums for usual
marine insurance, wages and taxes,
as q matter of extreme uncertainty"
An opportunity was given to the
committee to effect the reorgan'za-
ton, but, this failing, the permanent
receiver was appointed.

Silent on Matters
They Talked About
All Comments Refused Both at
White House and by
ex-Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22-Former

with President Wilson for more than
an hour today. Following the meet
ing, the first between the president
and former secretary since the latter
resigned from the cabinet, neither

When he left the White House
Bryan absolutely refused to comment
on his visit or to discuss any public
questions. The former secretary de-
clared that he fearec any statement
he made on public questions might
be connected with his talk with the
president. AT the White House it was
said that no statement would be made
regarding Mr.. Bryan's visit. Mr..
Bryan was asked If he had talked to
the president concerning his proposed
peace mission to Europe; If he had
discussed his attitude and that of the
administration toward preparedness;
if he had broached political subjects,
the forthcoming campaign in particu-
lar, and If he had talked about his
political observations during his re-
cent long tour Westward. To all
questions the former secretary was
deaf,
Mr. Bryan drove TO the White
House in an electric automobile, with
the initials III. S. b. on the door
He said that the car had been bought
secondhand and that he did not
know what the initials stood for
After leaving the president Mr..
Bryan remained in front of the White

LONDON, Sept. %. 4:1O a. m.-The
Russians have escaped the tolls of
the Wilma salient and retired in
good order, destroying all military
works and considerable portion of
the railway, according TO the Petro-
grad correspondent of the Post who
says:
THE strategic value of the Wilma
salient has been enormous. 1t was
held by some of Russia's best troops
and therefore risks were taken
profltably which might have been
fatal under other circumstances. The
stubborn holding of this salient nulli-
fed German designs upon Riga and
the German left flank is still up in
the air"

PETROGRAD, Sept. 22.-Both Riga

the enemy in their attempts to take
the outer defenses of Dvinsk have af-

people generally believe that hostili-

Diplomatic representatives here of
the Entente powers generally recog
nize that their cause is a lost one,
and that Bulgaria is manifesting
clearly a tendency toward the central
powers. This is due to the dissatis-
faction of the government at Serbia's

torial concessions in Macedonia and
at the conduct of Greece in this con-.
nection.
None of the representatives here of
the allies cherishes longer the hope
that Bulgaria can be prevented from
joining with Germany, Austria and
Turkey.
Reports from many parts of Bull

tions in favor of the government.
This is considered symptomatic of

THE GERMAN VIEW.
BY Huuo Won kIeist.

No American woman of German de-
scent has done, and is doing, more
for the German cause in this country
than Miss Anita Schade. of Washing
ton, ID. G. Miss Schade has not only
been instrumental in raising sums of
money for the German and Austro-
Hungarian war sufferers. but she was
prominent in the delegation of
women who called on President Viii
son some months ago and protested
against the sale of arms and ammu-
milton to the Allies. Miss Schade's
father was the well-known editor of
the Washington Sentinel, the late
Louis Schade, who was the direct
means of stopping the shipments of
arms and ammunition to France In
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
Grant. at that time president, permit
ted these shipments. but Mr.. Schlade
addressed himself direct to congress,
and succeeded in stopping the unholy
traffic. His daughter has inherited
his high spirit and patriotism, and
her devoted work deserves recogni-

tionship with the kaisers government.
At times again he has posed merely
as a private citizen. But for the time
being, at least, Ambassador Won Bern
storff is the accredited representative
of the kaiser at Washington.
The character of DIR. Dernburg's in
structions from Berlin. if he held any
has not been revaled. but his conduct
and his utterances during his long
stay in this country have been ex
ceedingly offensive. AS an alien
whether an authorized agent of the
kaiser or not, his presence in the
United States is no longer desirable
A brief notice conveyed to him on
the part of the United States govern
ment to move on at the earliest date
possible would remove all question
of his status. His mission as a Ger
man propagandist and agitator has
been a lamentable failure from Ger
many's standpoint, and in withdraw

abusing American hospitality and
