DROPS GAS TANK;
SEVENTEEN GO UP
Negro Gets 42.Centimetre Shock
and Gives South Street Lively
knowledge of Shrapnel.

Richard Elan, q negro, dropped a
tank of carbonic acid gas on the Ward
Line pier, at Wall Street and the East
River, yesterday, and it exploded, blow
in him ten feet into the air. He fell
upon his hand truck unconscious, and,
in a serious condition, was taken to the
Volunteer Hospital.
The conclusion of the bursting tank
exploded sixteen others. They went off
simultaneously, hurting bits of the
metal tanks like shrapnel into the East
River. Windows gave way in several
buildings, and the shock was felt in
Offices along South St.eet and for a
radius Of six blocks.
A call was sent in for an ambulance
TO the Volunteer Hospital, where Gov
ernor Whitman was attending the insti-
tution's dedication ceremonies; but the
call was hardly necessary. An ambu-
lance was ready. The shock had been
felt in the hospital.
Fragments OF two cylinders were
picked up in q yard at 65 South Street,

MISTRIAL ENDS
KLEIST'S SUIT
Continued from page ]

in any civilized community where
there was sentiment OF fairness and
Justice and the feeling of the neces-
sity Of a fair trial for all men 1t would
be impossible that such things would
be tolerated; that the press OF great
city should make comments during the
tendency of trial of statements made
10 them Of such a character outside OF
court by one of the parties is a final
instance OF the imposslbility OF JUS
tice in the community where II can
occur
"If that had been done without the
concurrence Of the plaintiff we should
have 70 worry along as best we could,
but where such statements emanate
from the plaintiff, as the plaintiff in
this case Says that they did, although
he did not volunteer them, il is per-
fectIy obvious that the delay and the
loss. whatever it may be, OF new
trial should fall upon party who has
done this-the improperly is obvious.
81 have. therefore, concluded in this
case 70 discharge you from further
consideration of the case and 70 de
clare a mistrial for the reasons which
! have mentioned TO you. The case -
going TO be sent to the foot OF the
calendar.
81 ought TO say. in Justice to Mr..
Crowley, who is the attorney for the
plaintiff, that am absolutely satisfied
that he had no part whatever in these
statements TO the press, and | would
have not have you, therefore, suppose
that in any way his professional con-
duct is in the least affected. II seems
20 me that he has conducted the case
honorably and professionally, and IL
would be great injustice 20 him u
any one should suppose that he was in
any way smirched BY such an occur
renee as this.
81, therefore. will thank you for your
labors. ! am sorry that they have come
10 nothing. ! hope you will appreciate
that there are substantial reasons why
YOU cannot go any further with the
case. | hope you will also 60 10 your
homes with the Indignation that feel
that such things should be possible in
The city OF New York. Gentlemen, you
are excused for the term"
With the courts FIRST words the eyes
Of the Breitungs sparkled in satisfac-
ton. while Kleist, his face clearly eX-
pressing mis- great dismay, slouched
back dcspondently in his chair. He was
as limp as if he had just been pro-
nounced guilty Of grea; crime. His
head fell forward in utter discourage
ment.

BRITISH NOTE TO
u. S. UNDER WAY
Arguments Based on Statistics
of Peace and War Time
Trade of Neutrals.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Transmission
~ the frat instalment OF Great Brit
aims supplementary note in answer 70
the American protest against interior
ence with neutral shipping by the BRIT
ish feet was completed to-day, and the
State Departments cable experts began
deciphering il. About three thousand
code words have been received, and u
is understood that twice as much more
is to come. II probably Will be TWO or
three days, therefore, before the com
munication is ready for consideration
by Secretary Bryan.
BEYOND the fact that this supple
mentary note is generally an expansion
of the arguments briefly set out IN me
preliminary British note OF January IN,
little Is known here OF its contents.
II is understood however, that among
the new matters introduced is the re
cent German decree exproprlatlng the
grain supply of Europe. In the pre-,
liminary note the British government
admitted that foodstuifs had not been
detained and put into prize court
without the presumption that they were
intended for the armed forces OF Ine
enemy or the enemy government. but
il was also stated that the British could
not give an unlimited and uncondition-
al undertaking in view OF what was
termed Germany's departure from &C
cepted rules OF civilization.
The great length of the communlca..
ton is accounted for by the mass OF
statistics embodied in it bearing on the
difference between normal ana war
time trade by neutral countries IN such
raw material as copper and commodi-
ties which might be Of use TO the mill
tary forces of belligerent.
One Of the principal arguments set
forth in the note is understood to be
/ in support Of the right of the British
government to take suspected ships
| into port for inspection 10 determine
the nature of their cargoes.
! The British and American govern
ments have agreed 10 make the note
public simultaneously.
With regard TO the status % the
American steamship Wilhelmina, New
| York for Hamburg with cargo OF
/ grain and now lying in the British
/ Harbor of Falmouth, the State Depart
mcnt has proposed to Great Britain a
postponement Of the plan to take the
/ matter before a prize court IN order
/ 70 give her owners an opportunity to
present evidence which, they Will con-
| tend. proves her cargo not properly
| subject to seizure.
Counsel for the owners Of the Will
| helmina and her cargo have repre-
/ sented that they can present irrefuta-
! bic evidence to support their argument.
| Should the British government agree
TO the proposal, action before prize
court would be unnecessary.
| London, Feb. ia dispatch TO "The
/ Evening News" from Rotterdam says
| that the Dutch steamer Duderdijk. fly
/ ing the Dutch flag, was stopped by a
! German submarine in the North Sea.
/ She was compelled to show her papers,
after which she was permitted 10 pro-
, coed to Rotterdam.
