AMHERST TRAINS
RACING IN FOG
Three Engineers Making
Up Lost Time, Wreck
Inquiry Reveals.

Cleveland, March 3i.-The first de-
velopment at the Federal and state in
quiry into the New York Central
wreck at Amherst, in which twenty
eight persons were killed, begun here
to-day, was that all three wrecked
trains had been racing through a
dense fog TO make up lost time.
II. W. Belknap, safety director Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
presided at the joint investigation.
Thirteen employees and passengers tes-
tilted.
1t was also revealed that the block
signal system was defective and had
been similarly deficient on numerous
occasions during the past winter.
c. F. Adams, prosecuting attorney
Of Lorain County, in which Amherst
is located, attended the hearing with
a view TO ascertaining if criminal
negligence can be charged against the
New York Central road or any OF its
employees.
Albert II. Ernst, the signal tower
man, denied that he was sleepy be-
cause Of a long watch at the bedside
Of his sick wife. The signal failed
70 work." Ernst said. He asserted
that the signals had failed TO work on
former occasions. f. f. Bausch. night

HAD 100000; STARVED CATS
Mrs. Barney Called Insane When She
Made Will

A Jury in the Surrogates' Court de-
cided last evening that Mrs. Jane f.
Barney, widow of Hiram b. Barney,
member Of II. y. Clsflin & Co.. was
Of unsound mind when she executed
her will. which disposed of an estate
valued at about 100000. Mrs Barney
left the bulk 20 her cousin, Louis V.
Ennis, cashier Of the Security Bank.
and seventeen cousins, who contested
the will. received 81 900 each.
The testimony showed that Mrs. Bar
ncv. who lived at New Providence. y.
J.. was more than eighty years old
when she died. and for many years had
been IN an insane asylum.
Witnesses declared she had nine cats
about the house, and that she was TOO
stingy 20 feed the animals, some Of
them starving 10 death.
Notwithstanding her eccentricitics,
Mrs. Barney carried on stock transac-
tions, although. her broker testified she
was in constant fear of losing her
money. This fear did not extend TO
the stock Of the II. Il. Claflin Company,
because her husband and Mr.. Claflin
had come TO New York together from
Rhode Island.

Auto Men TO Form Gen.
pany and Show Prices
Are EXOrbitant.
DECISION FOLLOWS
WEEKS CONFERENCES
Founders Hope to Protect Bust
ress of Motor Makers-Won't
Disturb Industry.

The restless nights that have been
spent by both the man with the jitnsy
'bus and the capitalist with millions in
vested in the automobile business since
the price OF gasolene started on its sky
rocket course should come 10 an end
now. Il was announced st the Offices
of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce yesterday that a new
company for the production of oil is TO
be started by the automobile interests
20 prove tina, the present prices are
eXorbitant.
Tie new company will hlc papers IN
Albany within a few days. and is ulti-
mateiy intended TO have n capitsllza-
ton Of from 100000 20 slo,ooo.00o
The decision 20 safeguard the sutomo-
bile interests IN this way came after a
week Of conferences, in which repre-
scntatives Of a number OF the largest
manufacturers discussed the possible
solution OF the difficulties that beset
them with number Of men connected
with the production Of oil. II was said
that the oil companies have been paid
for gasolene at the rate of $lb7 ,2sS,000
a year more than in August, 1915, and
that a reduction of one cent a gallon
in price would save the country more
than Sl7,00O,0 900 a year.
The conferences were attended by
Alfred Reeves, general manager of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
nierce: s. A. Miles, manager of the New
81 4
and John A. Royal, an oil man. Mr..
Royal IN statement issued yester-
day. said:
The forming OF this corporation We
regard as the only real remedy for the
existing conditions. We shall at the
very least demonstrate that no further
increase IN the price of oil is necessary,
and so protect the business of the auto
mobile makers and their millions Of in
vested capital.
This corporation when finally
launched will include all interests out
eide Of the oil interests, and in this
latter designation ! include the So
called competitive oil interests from
which no relief can be expected. They
are all founded on the same selfish in
terest, and maintain prices rather than
provide real competition to the bust
ness"
I'VE expect that the entire trade will
be with u.s." said Mr.. Miles yesterday.
Within ten days we shall be able. prob
ably, to designate more particularly
some OF the men who are identified
with the project, and possibly the
names Of those who will constitute the
board of directors" He added that the
company would produce not only gaso-
lene, but kerosene. lubricating oil and
other petroleum products.

Storms and Ordinances
for Action.
COUNSEL'S STATEMENT
HITS CITY FATHERS
GAYS Firm Prospered Until Board
of Aldermen Passed Stupid
Laws" Fixing Tariff.

The billiards. during the last three
months and the legislation fixing taxi
,sb rates are responsible for the ap-
,o,ntnent Of receivers yesterday for the
Mason Seaman Transportation Com
many. according 10 statement issued
bv the firms attorneys, Coudert Broth
,r. Rector Street. il is said that
che storms put nearly half Of the COM
r,nv's cabs out Of commission.
Judge Hough. in the United States
District Court appointed Allan LeXow
and A. Leo Everett 90 take charge Of
the company. Application for the re-
e.ivers was made by the Michelin Tire
company on claim for Indebtedness
~ 1852. The heaviest obligations
vsrs said 70 be debts due on mortgage
bonds arrregating 100000 and liabil-
ties on merchandise amounting TO
100000. No schedule Of assets has
been flied, but the application for re-
es,yers states that the company has
large assets. consisting Of property at
500 West Fifty-seventh Street, its gar
are. machine shops and 1000 taxicabs.
The attorneys for the Mason-Seaman
Company in their statement, which is
largely Cd attack upon the ordinance
fixing the taxicab tariff, say that the
action is q friendly one, made TO pre-
serve the company's assets and allow
the receivers 10 continue the business
peudinr a reorganization. The state
nent, In part, follows;
Company Assails Ordinances.
while the necessity for this action
was precipitated as result Of nearly
one-hslf Of the entire number of taxi
cabs being put out Of commission dur
ing the recent continuous Billiards and
,.ormp during January. February and
March, IS q matter Of fact il is direct
result Of Its cash resources having
been exhausted in contending against
stupid and persistent legislation dur
ing the last two years. The company
was most prosperous Up 10 the time
the ordinance was passed by the Board
Ct Aldermen during the summer OF
1918
"The entire system has proved 70 be
colossal failure from every angle, re-
sulting in a nuisance and no systematic
service. The only thing that seems 10
have been accomplished by the stupid
tsxicab laws has been 70 Cypress the
business still more, and especially the
individual hackman. who used 70 earn
Q days wages in eleven hours, but now,
10 make days wages with his public
hack, is obliged TO WORK upward OF
sixteen hours.
"Of course. with the price Of gaso-
lene having increased more than 300
per cent and all other materials used
in the maintenance OF taXicabs. such a.
steel. leather and other articles, ad-
vanced from 100 TO 400 per cent. II
might readily be seen that some relief
might be discussed.
"If the public is entitled TO high
class service. and they want Il. the only
way they will get it is for the city
fathers to promptly abolish all taxicah
laws now on the books and make some
very simple, common sense ones IN the
same manner that even the tarif rates
are rearranged after so many years"
