Prosecutions OF
B. r.. L. for Wreck
District Attorney Lewis Is
Disappointed at Acquittal
CALIFORNIAN; Court Aided
Defendants, He Declares

District Attorney Lewis of Kings
County declared yesterday he had not
decided whether he would proceed with
the trials of the four B. r. 7. officials
under indictment, following the &C
quittal of Anthony E. Lewis, motorman
of the Brighton Beach train which was
wrecked with a loss of ninety-seven
lives.
Thomas F. Blewitt, the division SUI
perintendent, the only other person
tried in connection with the disaster
was previously freed. There is
strong belief that the cases will be
dropped against the other officials in
view of the failure to convict the first
two. Those under indictment are
Timothy S. Williams, president; John
j. Dempsey, vice-president; John H.
Hallock, president of the New York
Consolidated Railroad, and William S.
Menden, consulting engineer.
District Attorney Lewis said he
would confer first with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Warbasse, who con-
Quoted the case against Lewis, before
deciding on the state future procedure.
Mr.. Lewis issued formal statement,
reading in part:
The indictments were removed from
Kings County to Nassau County by
justice of the Supreme Court, so that
the indicted persons could have an
Impartial trial Blewitt and Luciano
were aided in their defence by high
judicial officers, who took a most &C
tive part in the selecting Of jurors for
the trial.
Upon the trial of Blewitt it was
proven that many OF the rules of the
road had been violated in the selec-
ton of the motorman on the day of
the catastrophe.
"In my opinion the proof on Luci-
amos trial demonstrated beyond any
possible doubt that Luciano was wholly
unfit, as we'll as unfamiliar with the
road, and that this was the cause Of
the derailment of the train. The re-
suit has been most unfortunate and
has shaken faith in certain aspects
of our judicial system"

Britain Aims to Rule

WASHINGTON April 5.-Howard S.
Coffin, former chairman of the Aircraft
Board, returned TO Washington to-day
from a trip to Europe, taken to ex-
anime aircraft developments and ten
denotes. He was much impressed by
the extensive plans Of the European
governments for direction and en-
enlargement Of aerial transit along
both military and commercial lines.
Britain is retaining 1000 flying Of
fcers, and will have a permanent force
Of not less than 5000. These figures
mean a total personnel of 10000 and
$4,000 against the total of 10000 for
the United States army and navy, &C
cording to present plans. Every en-
enlargement is being offered to com
mercial developm and Britain in
tends, evidently to seek both the mill
tary and commercial supremacy Of the
air. The elaborateness of the plans
being laid for the encouragement and
regulation Of aviation, Mr.. Coffin says,
is quite beyond comprehension on this
side Of the ocean.

Baker refused to make the
letter public, after being twice asked
10 do so by Senator Chamberlain. Mr..
Baker returned the communication to
Colonel Ansell, with the statement that
il was mot helpful" The letter found
its wav into the newspapers this week.
Colonel Ansell said in the letter that
of responsibility for such maladmln-
istration as has existed in this office
is TO be located it must be located first
upon the Secretary of War" He said
he accused General Crowder of n
change of front on the court martial

bv saying: "Ansell. had to go back

Renewing his attack on the army

of it is on every hand to those who

of the clemency board now sitting daily
and daily recommending clemency in

Clemency, however, can never eHace
the injustice done. In my judgment
the army will never hold the place it
ought TO hold in the faith and affection
of our people until the machinery for
doing military justice is humanized.'

TRENCH PAPERS Die
AT END OF THE WAR
Memory of Little Sheets That
EnIivened Army Life Will
Live Forever.

The trench newspaper died with the
end of the world war, but in England
and France today there are not a few
soldiers who, although naturally joy
Gus at the thought of peace, betray
a degree Of sadness because of the
disappearance of these famous little
publications.
Editors and reporters were sought
out to serve the occasion from all
ranks and conditions. Typewriters,
papers and pencils were spirited frosa
somewhere, and the trench papers
were produced, In most cases, on the
firing line. They had to overcome In
Vulnerable difficulties. Laughing at
death and destruction, Ii was their
mission to tighten the task of the
fighting men.
But now the little papers have been
strapped. Editorial Offices In the shape
of dugouts, bell tents and broken
down huts were stripped with the sign
ing of the armistice, and the Squib,
Rocket or Patrol remain only as mem
cries.
1t is said of one of these little pub.
LEGATIONS on the British front that not
one of the original editorial staff
lived to read the last words of the
paper they brought Into being. Men
came and went, but the paper was pre-
served until the last.

LOndon.-Mines and mine fields yer
rendered obsolete by the development
Of the ''paravene," the invention of
lieutenant Burnley and consistently
urged upon the British navy by Adj
miral Sir Hedworth Meux. This In
strument was officially adopted by the
navy early In 1915 and was so success
full that special factories were built

have been a death trap for ships. Ger
man experts never solved the mystery.
From the time Of Its adoption to the
close of the war only two warships
were reported having been sunk by
mines. The most recent use of the
sparavenes" was on the occasion of
British warships entering the Baltic
through a closely mine-strewn area.
The steel wire mooring ropes of the
mines r said to have been cut by the
paravenes as a string is cut by scis-

PLAN CLOSER UNION
Movement to Draw English
Speaking Peoples Together.
First Branch OF Union to Be Estab-
Ished In America Is in
Philadelphia.

Washington.-It is the general feel
ing that the foundation on which the
proposed League of Nations must be
built Is q complete understanding and
friendly cooperation between the two
great English-speaking peoples; that
on the Americans and the British will
fall largely the task Of making the
world safe for democracy. Realizing
this. q group of Americans and Brit
ishers have started q movement to
draw the English-speaking peoples of
the world closer together in the bond
of comradeship and have organized
the English Speaking Union.
The aim Of the union Is, briefly, to
make the English-speaking peoples of
the world better known to each other,
whether they be Americans, Austria
lians. Canadians, New ~Zealanders,
South Africans, Observation-Disclosures or
the inhabitants Of the British isles
and their dependencies. 1t does not
aim at formal alliances, nor is 1t con
cerned with the relationship of govern
ments; 1t Is solely and simply q good
fellowship movement among the peo-
pie 'who speak the tongue that Shake
speare spake."
The aim of the promoters, American
and British, Is that no citizen of the
English-speaking world should ever
feel lonely again after the war, that no
American visiting the old country
should ever want a friend, and that nc
Britisher should ever want one In the
great republic. They plan to make
these peoples better known to each
other In various ways-by the inter
change of visits, by correspondence. by
the printed word, by lectures, by an
interchange of professors and preach
ers. by sporting contests and by every
other possible a
It was Admiral Sims who said the

TOWN WELLS GUSH
Water Fills the Storage Tank, but Is
of Little Use to Pumps.

of Little Use to Pumps.
The town of Wyoming, three miles
south of Dover, Del, has a phenome-
non which officials and residents have
been unable to explain. The water
system. pumping station and tower are
a quarter mile from the town proper,
with a tank which Is nearly 100 feet
high and has n capacity of several
thousand gallons. Usually 1t has re-
quired an hour oil longer to fill the
tank by pumping from the driven wells
and refill 1t as water is drawn by con-
sumers.
Within the past week the unusual
thing has happened. The keeper OF
the pumping station was surprised to
see the tank filed In about 20 minutes
of pumping and in some instances not
that long. 1t is also noticed that even
after the pumps have been shut down
the water gushes I'D the pipe for a con-
siderable height, causing the tank to
overflow.
With this peculiar situation several
town wells have gone dry, the pre-
sumption being that the pumping sta
ton has struck the same vein of wa
ter. Residents with such useless wells
have been compelled to tap the town
water supply.
