time, Mr.. Hedley said, had two cars
come together with enough force TO
telescope.
An automatic speed control ct the
Goth Street station could have pre-
vented the crash, Interborough officials
admitted, but the accident did not point
out to them the advisabiity Of Install
ing such system.
"On all local tracks Of the subway
Mr.. Shonts said, Eve have what is
known as visual operation, excepting
at points where the track is sharply
graded or curved. The operation is the
same on the local subway tracks as on
the elevated.
at is purely a question OF choosing
the lesser Of two dangers. II we cut
out visual operation our capacity would
be greatly reduced.
"When the new subways are open
this problem will solve itself There
will be less danger from crowdng,
since the traffic will be more widely
distributed"
But even then" Mr.. Hedley broke
in, 81 would not consent TO a more
elaborate signal system than We have
at the present time. Automatic speed
controls through all sections of the
subway would make such vast, cum
bersome system that it would be dam
gcrous Of itself"
He further explained why. the anti,
climbers he had invented and installed
on each subway coach did not prevent
the cars from telescoping in yester-
days collision.
This device ia effective only up to
a certain amount of pressure" he SAID.
when, as was the case yesterday
afternoon, the pressure exceeds $4,000
tons the anti-climbers give way and
telescoping is the natural result. Had
il not been that this device was in
stalled on every coach, however, sew
eral other cars in the second train
where the pressure was less than on
the first coaeh-might have telescoped,
TOO"
Discussion Of the wreck brought
forth from Mr.. Shonts and Mr.. Hedley
that no strikebreakers were running
subway trains.

How Mrs. klipper Met Man.

"Mrs. Klipper. an attractive young
woman, with lucrative employment and
some money" he said, came TO New
York in December, 1915, as a buyer for
her firm. She was invited to New
Years Eve party at fashionable hotel
in this city. and there met Frank
Croker, a good looking chap, who
dressed well, spent money freely and
posed az wealthy business man Of
Boston.
Both became friendly, and a week
o. two later Croker went to Phila-
delphia TO renew his friendship for the
young matron. He saw her. but no def
rite plans were then made for a trip
to New York. IL was not until Croker
had had talk with Butler that the
scheme TO blackmail Mrs. Klipper was
ooncocted. Butler well groomed
effable sort of fellow, with a fashion
able home in Philadelphia, received
Croker at mis- place, where the two
were joined by George Irwin and Doc
Donahue.

SUDDEN MOVE
CAUSES SURPRISE
Prisoner Accused of Elk
torting $500 from
Woman in Hotel.

William Butler, Of Philadelphia, one
Of the alleged leaders OF the blackmsil
ring which has been operating through
out the country, will arrive from Phlla-
delphia to-day in the custody Of dep
uty United States marshal.
1t was learned yesterday in the ONCE
of John c. Knox, Assistant United
States District Attorney, that Butler
had waived examination and would
stand trial here on a charge of black
mail. the specific case being the one in
which Mrs. Regina Klipper, drygoods
buyer, of Philadelphia, was forced to
surrender $500 20 prevent the arrest of
her man companion by spurious gov
eminent officials as a violator of the
Mann law.
The sudden surrender OF Butler
caused surprise among the operative
Of the Department of Justice who were
working on the blackmailing conspira-
cies, as it generally had been conceded
the government practically had lost its
extortion case against him by the death
OF Mrs. J. Bolton Winpenny, his chief
accuser.
Mrs. Winpenny charged Butler had
made demands upon her for money 70
avoid the arrest of her son. She died
recently in a Philadelphia hospital, and
the conspirators felt confident that with
their accuser and chief witness out OF
the way they would escape prosecution.
Nevertheless, the Federal operatives
believed they had accumulatd an over
whelming mass of evidence against
Butler and his associates in the Klpper
case.
A government official familiar with
the workings of the gang yesterday
told how Mrs. Klipper was enticed to
New York and backmsied into the
surrender of $500.

$4,000 HAPPY PRISONERS.
Are the Austrians Now Held By Italians
in Prison Camps.

Rome, March 4.-"The happiest war
prisoners in Europe are those fifty thous.
and of Austria now held by the Italians,
according to the Rev Walter l.. Lowrie.
pastor OF st. Paul's American church,
who has been specially delegated by the
Young Mems Christian association TO
look after prison camps in Italy.
After returning from a trip recently
among the prisoners, DIR. Lowrie said to
a correspondent of the Associated Press:
"These prisoners are lodged in some Of
the most magnificent castles and palaces
of Italy, the homes of former kings and
princes. They are well fed, they are not
ill-treated or browbeaten, and they not
only are not made to work, but they are
not permitted to work. So they are
really leading the happy life, If anybody
at this time, away from home and coun-
try and family and loved ones. They
have but two complaints to make, one
is that Europe is at war.
81 am ashamed of Europe, said ono
prisoner to me, and he voiced the senti
ment Of all. OF course this feeling has a
WI VAN liitHlai JltaSlOH as an
nment. Their second complaint is that
they are not allowed to work and earn
few cents day, as prisoners are per-
mitted to do in France, Germany and
elsewhere. That they are not at work is
due to the objections made by the la
Dor leaders of Italy who felt that all
war work should go to Italians in need
Of work to keep themselves and their
families going.
But these prisoners arc improving
their time for all that. Nearly all of
them are learning English ! have had
in getting enough English books
for them.
Among the places where the prisoners
