The collector in discussing the affair to-
day stated that he was in no wise in
jured by the rough tactics of the intrud-
ers, else he, too. would have preferred
charge of assault against the police
in conjunction with that of Smith. The
collector declined to go into details to-
day on the ground that he expected to
be a witness for his friends. and that It
would not be proper for him to speak
until he had been heard in court.
The police, he said, had broken into the
room in the belief that 1t was a poolroom,
and he expressed the opinion that his
friends were entirely justified in making
the charges of assault

JOKER CAUSES

Telephone and Score of
Families Flee Homes.
cial to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Jersey City, Aug. 4-The Jersey City
police are searching for a man with a
warped sense of humor who last night
threw into a panic two dozen families
living in the block bounded by West Side,
Armstrong and Woodland avenues ten
anted largely by foreigners.
A rumor spread through the block
last night that the police feared another
big explosion at some point not dis
closed. The only telephone in the block
was in the little grocery store of A
Wolinsky an Armstrong avenue. and the
grocer was asked about the report by
so many persons that he finally called
up police headquarters.
Yes, there's another big explosion
about to occur" said a mans voice in
reply to the grocers question, adding
that the safest place would be on the
street and advising Wolinsky to tell
his neighbors not to remain In their
homes.
wolinsky. with the Black Tom disaster
fresh in his mind, told his neighbors
they had no time to lose. as the explosion
might occur any minute. Five minutes
later every house in the block was de-
serted. Many persons even carried
clothes, food and other articles to the
street.
This was about $50 p, m. Many small
children among those waiting in the
street for the expected explosion were
crying in fear. Ears were strained for
the sound OF the explosion: eyes were
fixed on the sky to see its glare. So the
hours passed until midnight, when some
of the less fearsome spirits returned to
their homes. Others followed and by l
a. m. the street was deserted.
When Chief Monahan learned of the
hoax today he began an investigation.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 4-Roger Newton,

a resident of Globe. Ariz.. has discovered
that his wife, who he married nine years
ago, Is his sister. How to straighten out
the kink In theft life story is the problem
Which Is worrying them to distraction.
newton, whose real name Is George
Porter, was the son of a carpenter In
Spokane, Wash. When his father was In
1ured by a fall, George was placed In
an orphanage. Later he was adopted by
Howard Newton, who moved East.
His adopted parents educated him at
the University of Wisconsin. After leaV-
ing college young Porter. who had taken
the name Of Newton. from his adopted
parents, returned to the Pacific North
west
While in Portland, Ore, he met Miss
Elizabeth Porter, who was attending a
seminary there. The pair became in
fatuated and were married.
That was nine years ago. The other
day in an old trunk Newton found a
locket. He opened 1t and found a tin
type likeness 2 of his parents, given
him when he went to the orphanage in

President Wilson called to the White
House for a conference on the railway
situation yesterday Commissioner Will
lam l.. Chambers, head of the Federal
Board of Mediation and Cancellation.
Judge Chambers assured the President
the Newlands act providing for media
tlon, conciliation, and arbitration in con-
troversies between railroad companies
and their employees is efficient and
adequate to compose the differences be-
tween the brotherhoods and the COM
mittee of railroad managers IL the con-
ferences between them, to begin in New
York next Tuesday, should not succeed
in effecting an adjustment
Judge Chambers also informed the
President that in his judgment the Fed
eral government ought not to act until
after situation arises justifying the
belief that "an interruption of traffic is
imminent and fraught with serious det-
riment to the public interests"
After his conference with the Presi-
dent. Judge Chambers said:
The point of view of the Board of
Mediation and Cancellation is that we
have an existing law that is efficient
and We have a great deal of information
that leads us to believe the parties them
selves directly interested in the con-
troversy will not decline to avail them
selves Of the provision Of the law of
their own securing. What the attitude of
the President may be on that subject
must be learned at the White House.
Il was called to the White House
this morning by the President, who
wished all the information available
on the pending railway labor contro-
Versy. The President wished to be in
definite touch with the situation. The
PRESIDENT now has all the informa-
ton the board possesses on the SUBJ
1ect, and he has also our point of view.
but any statement that may be given
out for publication touching the con-
ference with him must be made from
the White House
There is no doubt, officials said.
that If an offer of mediation or arbi-
tration under the Newlands act should
not be accepted. the President himself
would intervene, and that failing,
Congress itself would be called upon
to prevent the threatened national ca
tastrophe that such a strike would
cause
There is no present intention on the
part of Congressional leaders to take
action of any kind affecting the rail-
way dispute. The Senate Interstate
commerce Committee yesterday tabled
a resolution introduced at the request
or the United States Chamber OF Com
merce, directing the Interstate Com
merce Commission to investigate and
report to Congress on the wages and
hours of service of each class of rail-
road employees as compared with
wages. etc, IN other occupations.
