TRIES TO FIX WRECK
BLAME ON THE B. R. 7.
Prosecutor Seeks to Prove
Operating COmpany's Of
ficials' Responsibility.

After subp9naing all the minute
books OF the New York Consolidated
Railroad Company. District Attorney
Lewis of Kings county said yesterday
I'm the investigation Of the wreck on
the Brighton Beach line am trying to
get at the real officials rather than the
dummies. The b. X. T.. 1t must abe re-
membered, is not an operating but
business corporation. l am anxious to
get at the criminal responsibility OF
those In the business corporation who
are feeding on the earnings of the OPP
Grating companies. l want to straighten
out this cobweb of corporations"
In the John Doe hearing before Mayor
Hylan Monday 1t was testified that the
president OF the consolidated company.
which operates the Brighton Beach and
other rapid transit lines. is J. H. Hal
leck. Timothy S. Williams is only a
director OF that company, but is presi-
dent OF the b. r. T.. the holding COM
pany.
The District Attorney is trying to
prove that the B. r. T manages the
affairs of Its subsidiaries and Is respon-
sible for mistakes they may make. There
Dis an interlocking relationship among
the various companies that constitute
the B. r. T. system, and to this Mr.
Lewis is trying to find the key. He
passed most of yesterday studying the
minutes. which were transferred to his
office from r. r. T. headquarters.
When the hearing before Mayor Hylan

It has been the practice of the b. r. T.

gate the causes OF the explosion and to

lation. The Senate Commission. con-

uty Police Commissioner, and John Ken

II have received private information
that one magazine alone at Morgan
holds $4,000 pounds of INT" said Mr..
Hubert yesterday. 81 am informed
that II another accident SUCH as took
place a few weeks ago should explode
this tremendous store Of high explosive
the results to New York city would be
disastrous. 1t Is a chance we canpot
afford to take. Sc
II have called for a statement from
the chief engineer OF the Department of
Docks as to what would be the probable
result to the city's water mains In case
OF an explosion greater than the recent
blowup. and II appears from a prelimi-
nary survey OF the possibilities that the
whole water supply system might be
wrecked. Moreover. l have been in
formed that the blowing UP OF a mag
azine containing $4,000 pounds Of INT
might shake down many buildings here
in the city. The engineers tell me that
the Woolworth. Singer and other mod
ern steel skelet0ned buildings would
likely stand up, but they say that there
are many old time buildings that would
be apt to crumble. ~.
1T Is my duty to lay these facts and
spppositions before the Senate Commit
tee. ! do not believe that II is necessary
to maintain a high explosives plant so
close to this great centre of population"

Three Days Celebration Of
Austria's Surrender on
News by Wireless.
SIX INFLUENZA DEATHS
Surgeon Succumbs to Disease
After Caring for 35 Vic
tins on Board.

An Italian steamship came brilliantly
into an Atlantic port last evening flying
all the fiags the law allows to celebrate
the surrender OF Austria. Her pas
sengers. including "a score Of American
travellers. many of Uncle Sans blue
Jackets from the Mediterranean Ameri-
can destroyer fiotilla and folk of other
nationalities. got word by wireless OF
the Austrian collapse when the fier-
chairman was three days from port and
all hands held an International festival
Of Thanksgiving. A note Of sadness
pervaded the company because Of the
death from Spanish influenza OF the
ships surgeon, DR.. Antonio Onato. who
gave his life In attending tirelessly
thirty-five patients aboard, including
passengers. who were stricken while the
vessel was detained at Gibraltar.
DR.. onato himself finally was taken
down with the disease. He believed he
had recovered sufficiently to resume his
duties. The skippef and other officars
urged him, to rest, but he said he re-
garded 1t as much his duty to attend to
his patients as 1t would be II he were
ministeEing 10 soldiers on the field Of
battle. He fell dead after dancing
in the ships saloon just before she
sailed from Gibraltar. He was born in
Genoa thirfy-nine years ago. His body
was sent to his wife and mother in
Genoa. He had been six years in the
service OF the line. Among the five
aboard the vessel who died were two
assistant engineers and three steerage
passengers. The ship arrived at an
American port with a clean bill Of
health.
Some Of the passengers who rejoiced
in Austrian defeat were Giulio Rossi,
basso of the Metropolitan Opera forces
Mario Marchese,, conductor; Arturo
Loynaz del Castillo. Cuban Vice-Consul
at Genoa, and his wife, who is the
daughter of Gustavo Navarete, Cuban
Consul General at Genoa. and Il. d. Nor

G. F. FOOte, Broker, and Two
Sons Accused With Two
Officials.

Gilbert F. Foote. OF Poughkeepsie,
until recently head of the brokerage
firm Of Atwater. Foote and Sheriff..
Which failed In April with liabilities
of nearly 100000 and no assets, was
arraigned yesterday with his two sons
and two draft board officials before
Judge A. N. Hand in the Federal Dis
trict court on indictments charging con-
spiracy to violate the draft law.
Through their counsel. Abram J. Rose.
the 1--WE entered pleas OF not guilty.
Ten days were given to Foote in which
to demur or take other action. Pending
final pleading. the bankrupt broker was
placed under $4,000 bond. The bail of
his sons. Gilbert +. Foote. Jr, and
Andrew G, Foote, was fixed at $4,000
each. Albert A. Simpson. a member
Of the local draft board at Poughkeep-
sic, and Charles w. Swift. OF the dis
trict appeals boards at White Plains,

draft board. and Charles C. Hahi, trans
portation manager of the Barrett Manu-
featuring Company; OF this city, who
are named as co-conspirators In the in
dictments, have yet to plead. q.
The alleged conspiracy had to do with
the illegal classification of the two Foote
boys. Mr.. Curtis charged that the
young men. through the aid of draft
board officials and Hail. received ex-
emption from active service in the army
and were classified as filling essential
war occupations as employees of the
Barrett Manufacturing Company.
The additional charge was made that
young Andrew procured exemption on
the ground that he was a farther and
connected with the Agricultural Reserve
Army stationed there. Andrew, so Mr..
Curtis said. recently married a. Miss
Mcllvary. daughter OF a member OF
the Barrett Manufacturing Company,
and was a student in the University OF
Pennsylvania Immediately before he
filed his claims for exemption. 1t Is
asserted In the Indictment that In re-
turn for engaging IN the alleged con-
spiracy, Simpson. Wilson and Hail re-
ceived checks from time to time from
