NEUVE CHAPPELLE HERO
HELD IN COAT THEFT
Accused by His Father, He Says
He Was Shanghaied by British.

James Fleming. of AZ Jewell Street,
Brooklyn. who was arraigned in Magis-
trates' Court yesterday on a charge
of stealing an overcoat from his faith
err, offered as mis- defence narrative
Of how he had been compelled to fight
with British soldiers on the French
front.
Fleming limped into the courtroom.
His injury had been received, he said,
in recent battle at Neuve Chappelle
where he had been shot In the knee.
Six months before, he told the court,
he had been shanghaied aboard a
British cattle ship locked in Brooklyn,
and despite the fact that he is an
American citizen, had been taken TO
England, where he was forced TO join
the British army. He was held in
5000 bond for Special Sessions.

l4eth Street station. One OF these Is
an express signal and was not In use
al the time the accident happened. Inc
other. a danger signal near 1bOth
Street. Is said by Mr.. Hedley TO control
only the trains which cross 20 the
Third Avenue tracks from Westminster
Avenue at this point. A motorman on
the Third Avenue line is able 10 see
anv train ahead Of him, for the track is
practically straight away.
II is assumed that Kerrigan thought
that the train ahead of him would move
out Of the station before he reached IT,
The danger signal is equipped with
ak bombs, which are exploded by
train which passes when the signal Is
set against it. After the wreck the sig
nal was set properly, but whether II
had been so when the train rushed past
1t is not known. A.
Edward Grove, stationed In the
tower at l50th Street from which
these switches are go ;erned, was
arrested by Lieutenant Henry Quick
on a technical charge Of homicide but
was released on $1,000 bail furnished
by the National Surety Company.
Put Blame on Dead Man.
Commissioners Whitney, Hodge and
Hervey, Of the Public Service Commits
sion, made an investigation before the
wreck of the car had been removed.
Commissioner Hodge said afterward;
"The blame for the collision prob
ably lies with the dead motorman.
Just why he passed the signals no one
knows. believe that the wooden
cars saved the day. Steel cars would
have withstood the impact and instead
of telescoping would have rolled of
the tracks into the street causing
much more serious accident"
Theodore Shonts declared that the
signals were set properly after the
smash-up, but didn't lnow whether or
not they had been changed.
District Attorney Martin ordered q
grand jury investigation Of the acct
dent to take place at once snd the
Jury convened at 8 o'clock. Fourteen
witnesses were summoned, among
them Frank Hedley, George Pegram
and Sylvester d. Smith, the three In
terborough officials. Four witnesses,
Coroner Flynn, Timothy Waldron. who
was In charge of the empty train, De
tective Harry White, OF The Bronx
Bureau and Morris Fligner, were ex-
amined. Mr.. Hedley refused TO waive
immunity. The jury adjourned after
an hours session until $3.50 this
morning

Bohemian Prima Donna.

An undiplomatic admission and lit
tie professional jealousy are said to
have been responsible for Ottokar Bar
Tx losing his job as manager for Nine.
Emmy Destinn, prima donna and con-
cert singer. Also the unfortunate com
bination is the cause Of NJ. Bartik's
suit against Nine. Destinn for s7,96l,
which he filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday.
The prologue, which Is not part OF
the official court story, is that NJ. Bar
tik went to hear Nine. Melba sing.
After the concert Nine. Destinn asked
him how she sang, how the audience
received the Australian soprano and
also whether the audience was large.
To all these questions the enthusiastic
VI. Bartik replied "Magnihque" or
"Grossahrtich," which is in the lam
guage Of Nine. Destinn.
Anyway NJ. Bartik did not serve out
the full year of his contract with the
singer, and he now sues for services.

Atlantic City, June 8.-Trade follows
capital, rather than the flag, according
to Carlos A. Tornquist, Buenos Ayres
banker. who to-day addressed the TWEEN
ay-third annual convention OF the New
York State Bankers Association, in SEES
sion at the Hotel Traymore. He urged
a line OF modern steamships as a
means of bringing the United States
into closer touch with her sister re-
publics in Latin America.
John L. Kloepfer, president Of the
association, who presided, said Europe
was the best customer Of this coun-
try. and that it behooved American
bankers and business men to help
maintain its credit. He favored the
merchant marine.

II the bleachers are emptied with
out adequately increasing the num-
bers Of spectators in other sections,
the game will drop q long way in
popular interest.
Somehow the impression sticks In
mind that better way would be to
reduce the expenses rather than the
number Of spectators. The high
priced stars Of the game, especially
when twenty to thirty Of them are
carried along in a single mine" and
expensive men are played most Of
the time on the bench, don't look like
very good investments. How many
baseball favorites would quit the
game II theif salaries were cut rs
per cent? Or how many people
would remain away from the game
II the number of players on each
team were strictly limited to, say,
eighteen, as one managing owner
proposed they should be?

A,RARE OPPORTUNITY

State societies, which abound in
Washington, have an unprecedented
opportunity for service to their
States and to their National Capital,
by uniting their efforts In the CAM
paisn TO procure permanent ex-
hibit Of the States in Washington.
Hotel and train records show that
Washington yearly is becoming tho
mecca for larger numbers Of 'our-
ists. This fact furnishes added rea-
sons why the Capital should make
every effort to become truly na-
tional; to express in some concrete
way the fact that It represents the
entire alton. "a
No device for doing this has been
suggested that seems SO effective as
the proposed exhibits Of the States,
permanently located In Washington,
TO give tangible evidence Of the am
bitions, achievements, and resources
Of the Commonwealths they repre-
sent.
The States would gladly join such
an enterprise and the State societies
here afford a channel by which i'm
pctus could be given to the move
ment in at least half Of the States
Of the Union. Not often will such
IN opportunity present itself to these
organizations. They should take ad-
vantage Of this one.

PARTITIONINd ROUMANIA

A peculiar significance will attach
to the report that Germany will in
sist on the partition Of Roumania.
After a fashion. Roumania may be
regarded as the last national sur
vival of the old Roman empire. "Ro-
MANIA" the old form Of the name.
carries the suggestion of that de-
scent from early Roman colonists
that is the pride Of the Roumaniahs.
and the tie between them and Italy.
Transyivania was the first region In
this Balkan area to be settled by the
Romans; whence they spread over a
territory much wider than the pres
ent geographic limits Of Roumania.
They have indeed been much changed
by mixture with Slavic and other
neighboring races; but II is doubtful
whether the original stock has been
diluted more than has that Of the
italian peninsula itself. what with
the polyglot immigration that mark
ed the later generations Of the re-
public, and that in the period Of the
empire brought everything from
slaves TO savants from every quar-
ter Of the known world.
At any rate. the tie Of sympathy
between Roma and Roumania is
close. Roumania is the halfway sta
tion between Russia and Italy; the
surest guarantee that they will al
ways be able somehow to reconcile
their differences in the Mediter-
ranean basin. II, then, Germany
shall insist on the distribution Of
Roumanian territory and the extinc-
ton of it's nationality, ii will be one
more reason why Italy will insist on
fighting to a military conclusion of
the war. 1t seems, indeed, strangely
inept statecraft that Germany, at a
time when she is feeling for a sepa-
rate peace with Italy, should aim
such a threat at Roumania.

CRIMINAL, Or UNFORTUNATELY

Thomas Mott Osborne, Of Sing
Sing fame, and William II. Whit
tsker. superintendent OF the District
workhouse and reformatory. repre-
sent the most advanced ideas Of
prison reform. But Messrs. Osborne
and Whitaker do not stand on the
same platform. They explained their
views in parallel interviews run in
The Times n year or so ago.
Briefly, Mr.. Osborne believes in
the inherent goodness Of human ma
ture. and contends that there Is no
dividing line between the so-called
criminal and other citizens. There
fore Mr.. osborne's self-government
league
Mr.. Whitaker expressed his dis.
belief in the essential normality Of
the inmates Of penal institutions,
and pointed to records Of mental and
physical examinations as indicating
that n large number Of criminals are
abnormal. .....
Both men agreed that this alb
normality or variation from type,
whichever one chooses to call IL, is
something to be cured, and that hu-
name methods and hard work are the
best curatives.
The significance Of these opposing
views now is exemplified in the re-
suits Of their application. 1t may be
that other factors caused Mr.. Os'
borne's withdrawal from Sing Sina
But the Osborne system there has
been supplanted.
Meanwhile ut 0ccoauan Mr.. Whit
taker has quietly started the new
District reformatory, with ffty-fvs
prisoners, and SO far his theories
have proved highly practical. There
has not yet been time TO judge COM
pletely the effects Of the District
workhouse system upon long term
prisoners. But students Of penal 70.
form cannot overlook the quiet and
earnest work being done mt occoGuar
without any Of the blare and trump.
