William S Menden, who has been on
trial in the Supreme Court at Mineola,
L. L., on charge OF manslaughter in
connection with the Malbone Street
tunnel wreck of November /, 1918. was
acquitted yesterday by direction Of
Justice Callaghan. At the end of the
states case Meier Steinbrink, Menden's S
counsel. moved for the dismissal of
the Indictment and after hearing argu-
ments the court directed the acquittal.
Il think that no man reasonably
could have been expected prior to this
accident" said Justice Callaghan, "to
exercise the foresight which would
have resulted in the installation of the
time element signal control device in
connection with the track trpper'
Menden was chief engineer of the
3. r. I. at the time of the accident
He is the fourth employee or official
of the company to be tried on charges

quilted and in the remaining case the
jury disagreed.
Robert H. Johnson. civil engineer,
testified yesterday that test train
carrying Mr.. Steinbrink Menden's at
torney, and several transit experts,
traversed the fatal curve at twenty
three miles an hour January II without
any i'll result. He said he would be

Powhatan, Again in Tow,
Is Headed for Halifax
Three Vessels Aid Disabled
Transport; Bolshevism Re-
noried Cause of Trouble

The army transport Powhatan, which
broke from her two tow lines and was
lost in blizzard Sunday night, was
picked up again yesterday by the ves-
sells that had been standing by, and
the tow TO Halifax was resumed. Radio
advices to Halifax did not give the
vessels position.
Captain Travis, Of the Lady Laurier,
in tow several days ago, reported by
radio to Halifax yesterday that the
wrecking tug Relief had line out from
the Powhatan and was towing her at
speed Of about four and one-half
knots.
The coast guard cutter Acushnet, he
said, had a line out from the Relief
and both vessels were towing the Pow
hatan in tandem fashion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Under a
resolution introduced to-day by Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican, Illinois,
Secretary Baker was asked to advise
Congress if the condition Of the dis
abled transport Powhatan was the re-
suit of Bolshevism aboard ship. The
resolution also would direct that Sec
retary Baker supply the House Mill
cary Committee with copies Of reports
from masters and chief officers of
other transports especially the Amer
ica.
Mr.. Brtten in his resolution says at
is understood that mutiny theft, gam
bling and insubordination exist on
