Inventor Exhibited at the
Marine Display

A train of barges electrically pro-
PEELED by power derived from a power
boat" to which they are connected by
flexible cable is one of the war in
ventions described for the first time last

electric generating power plant on one
vessel, generating electricity there in
sufficient quantity not only to dxive the
vessel ITSELF" said Mr. Donnelly, "but
several other cargo vessels, and trans
mitting the power between the generat-
ing station which we will call the power
boat and the cargo carriers by means
Of flexible, waterproof cables"

Dempsey Acquitted
OF Manslaughter;;
Jury Out 3 Hours
Verdict Followed Explana-
ton That Former B. II. T.
Head Was Not RESPONSE
bic for Acts of Others

John J: Dempsey. former vice-presi-
dent OF the B. r. t. who has been on
trial for the second time in the Su-
preme Court at Mineola on charges OF
Inansiaughter growing out of the NAL
bone Street tunnel wreck, was ac-
Quilted yesterday. The jury was out
more than three hours. At Mr.. Demp.
sey's first trial the jury disagreed.
In his charge to the jury Justice
townsend Scudder directed it should
consider only whether Dempsey by ac-
tive or indirect mismanagement of the
B.. Il. I. train service was responsible
for the wreck. The point at issue in
the earlier trial was whether the de-
fendant should be held responsible for
the installation Of safety devices.
The jurors left the courtroom at 1915
p. m. At o'clock they returned to
ask Justice Scudder whether Dempsey
could be held responsible for an error
in judgment on the part of Thomas F.
Blewitt, superintendent Of the southern
division Of the B. R. T., or any other of
his subordinates. The justice replied
that he could not be so held.
The verdict was brought in at 4:S7
p. m. Immediately thereafter Stephen
G. Baldwin, counsel for Dempsey, asked
for dismissal of the indictment charg-
ing granddaughter as result of the
death Of John Erskine Porter. 1t was
on this that the first trial was based
In the second the defendant was in

tice Gavegan yesterday by Mrs. Mary

%, 1919, DR.. Reik told his wife that
his views on matrimony had undergone
a change in recent years, and sug-
gested that both would be happier sep
arated. A quotation from the letter
reads:
"My personal views regarding matri-
mony and fidelity have developed in
recent years into closer resemblance to
the French and upper class English
ideas than to the hypocritcal American
attitude"
Justice Gavegan awarded Mrs. Reik
$50 week almony and $3.50 counsel
fees pending trial Of her action.

Judges Union Proposed
By Radical on Trial

The formation of Judges union"
was suggested by James Larkin, Irish
radical, at his trial before Judge Bar
tow S. Weeks yesterday when the lat
ter said the high cost of living was af-
fecting Judges as we'll as the rest of
the public. The judges comment came
during the examination Of Lester Bliss
Wadsworth, Of Brooklyn, talesman,
who said he considered himself men,
ber of the 'proletariat."
Judge Weeks, after asking a few
questions, satisfied himself that Wads-
worth was not exactly clear as to what
a "proletarian" is. He went on to say
that not only the poor are suffering
from the high cost of living. and cited
the fact that many judges are receiving
the same salary that they received
many years ago, even though the value
of the dollar has decreased approxi-
mately 80 cents.
You'd better form judges union,"
was Larkin,s comment.
Although fourteen talesmen were ex-
cepted. He is William j. Mcmillan, a
sales manager, of 1888 Riverside Drive
He makes the ninth Juror selected.

FROM SIdU Correspondent
ALBANY, April 14.-By vote of 80
to 43 Speaker Thaddeus c. Sweet to-
day forced the passage Of the Gillett
bill repeating the Sammis woman ele-
vator operator law enacted last year.
The repeal was opposed by both the
majority and minority leaders. The
law prohibits woman elevator opera
TORS from working after 10 o'clock at
night and before o'clock in the morn
ing. 1t also requires one day of rest
out of every seven.
Speaker Sweet has scored another
victory over the so-called women's well
fare bills" said Miss Mary A. Dreir, Of
the Women's Joint Legislative Confer
ence, in commenting on the Assemblys
action. "It is disgraceful that the
Speaker should be responsible for the
breakdown of the present labor laws
while he is hard at work blocking leg
islation benefiting thousands Of women
workers."
