Third Trial Ordered in
Widows Damage Suit
Appellate Division Finds SUI
preme Court Erred in Action
Over Husbands Death

A third trial was ordered yesterday
by the Appellate Division in the suit
of Mrs. Nellie g. Middleton against the
Third Avenue Railroad Company. Mrs
Middleton brought suit to recover dam
ages for the death of her husband
through alleged negligence on the part
OF employees of the railway company
The case bad been heard twice before
the Appellate Division, and once before
was taken to the Court of Appeals
Mrs. Middleton's husband died in a
hospltal IN 1870 following "A stroke Of
apoplexy, after he had been carried
back and forth several times as a pas
serger on an open car of the Amstcr-
dam Avenue line, the conductor Of the
car and an inspector believing that Mr..
Middleton was intoxicated
At the first trial a jury gave Mrs.
Middleton verdict for s2OO00 This
judgment was set aside by the Appel
late Division, which dismissed the com
plant on the ground that the evidence
failed to show that the railway com
pany was guilty Of a breach of duty,
and that it was wholly speculative
whether Mr.. Middleton would have sur
vived his illness if he had been sooner
removed from the car. This decision
was reversed by tho Court of Appeals,
which ruled that the question brpurht
up by the Appellate Division was one
Of fact for the jury At the second
trial the verdict was in favor OF the
railway company. Mrs. Middleton APP
pcaled, and the Appellate Division re
versed the second verdict yesterday be-
cause OF an erroneous charge by the
trial Justice

ii Russian Naval
Officers Arrive as
Grew OnU.S. Ship
Will Go to Washington
on Secret Mission TO
the State Department:
Smuggling Il Denied

Eleven Russian naval officers, one Of
whom bore a striking resemblance to
the late Car Nicholas, arrived here
yesterday as part of the crew Of the
United States Shipping Board frcighter
Governor John Lind from Copenhagen
The men are said to have servtd in
the Russian navy during the early part
of the war and later to have fought
with the White Army
The immigration and customs off
Gals had been advised officially Of their
coming, but declined to divulge the
purpose of their visit The Russians
will remain aboard the vessel until
Monday, when they will go to Washing
ton on special mission to the State
Department.
1t was said yesterday that these
naval men, who had remained loyal to
the old regime of Russia. had planned
to come here as passengers on one Of
the vessels Of the Scandinavian Amer
lean Line. Because strikes had tied
up the feet they came over as part of
the crew Of the Lind
1t was reported that one Of the Rus
slams was Of the ex-Czar's household
and that he and several others had
brought over royal plate and jewels
for disposal here. This was denied
by customs officials, who searched the
vessel. They said the Russians brought
nothing but civilian clothing and naval
uniforms which they are to wear in
this country
The men left Copenhagen with the
approval of the American Legation
there and it is assumed that the visit
has the sanction of Washington.
One of the Russians, Wasiley Pcre-
pelkin, who is forty years old. served
as chief officer of the Lind under com
mand of Captain Courtney, the Amcri-
can master.
The other visiting Russians are
George Shackovskoy, Vladimir Kviat-
kovsky, John Swiagennov Paul Lialko
Boris Labensky George Tachistrklr.
John Stuchbury, Alexander Strackotf
Paul Tschizotf and Nicholas Wreden.
Nearly all Of them spoke English and
despite their rough clothing indicated
that they were men Of good birth and
education.

Special Dispatch to Thc Tribune
ALBANY. Jne 5.-Thc quiet form
Of racctracA betting which has been
tolerated at the Saratoga Springs
races during the last few seasons will
not be permitted this year, according
to Charles B. Andrus, District At
torncy OF Saratoga County.
Mr.. Andrus is one of the Saratoga
County officials upon whom Governor
Smith served notice yesterday that
gambling houses in Saratoga must be
closed. The Governor threatened to
have state troopers take charge in
Saratoga Springs unless gambling evils
complained Of by the Saratoga Springs
Chamber Of Commerce arc stopped.
Andrus Accuses Bracket
Mr. Andrus charged to-day that the
complaint is an example of the type
Of political jobbing' engaged in by
Edgar T. Bracket, Saratoga County
leader. to "get his scalp" He declared
that Mr.. Brackets enmity toward
him dated back to the time when he
issued warrant against Dick Can
held, proprietor of Saratoga's once
famous gambling casino. Bracket was
attorney for Mr.. Canfied
There Will be no gambling in Sara
toga County in any form if Mr. Andrus
can help it, he says. He is determined
to stop betting even at the race
course or in hotel rooms, where book
makers have held informal shop dur
Ing recent racing seasons
81 know what ic {bo
Mr.. Andlus. "They talk of gam
bling houses; as a matter Of fact there
has never been less gambling going on
at Saratoga than at the present time
They do not want any gambling at
Saratoga, but at the racetrack it. is
different. Bracket and some of the
good people up here howl about
gambling houses, but gambling at the
race track is not gambling to their
Thu year. VIII close the racetrack
up so tight that not nickel will
change hands"
1t was declared by Mr.. Andrus that
the complaint presented to the Gov
ernor was instigated by Bracket, who,
he said, SIS the Chamber of Com
mcrce."
No Definite Cases Named
No definite complaint setting forth
specific cases was presented to Gov
ernor Smith.
"A representative Of the Saratoga
Chamber Of Commerce." said the Gov
ernor tonight before leaving for
French Lick Springs, "came to Albany
and talked the matter over with Major
George f. Chandler, of the state police
Major Chandler in turn took the matter
up with me-
When the Governor returns to Albany
early in July, after the San Francisco,
convention. he will look into the Sara
toga situation to determine if it will
become necessary to send troopers
there
This is not the first time requests
have been made by localities for aid
from state troopers to suppress gam
bling. Last fall the troopers were sent
into Lockport to close gambling re-
sorts.

MONROE JUDGE FREED
JUDGE JOHN A. BECKER ACCUSED
OF DISLOYALTY IN WAR RE-
LEASED BY G. S. APPEAL COURT.

/ Judge John A. Becker of Monroe
has been freed by the United States
Court of Appeals. The case began in
1918 when Judge Becker was taken to
Madison and arraigned. His trial was
held at Eau Claire shortly after. The
court found him guilty and sentenced
him to three years in Fort Leaven-
worth. The specific charge was an
alleged statement at Monroe on Feb.
5, 1918 "Thc idea of havinc; q ministry
of fuel and food is ridiculous. This
is rich mans war"
The appeal court in reversing the
trial courts decision, based its action
on what officials held was over-zeal-
BUSINESS of witnesses who testified
against Judge Becker. The accused
man visited his son-in-law, Earl
Green, formerly of Lancaster, several
times.
In commenting on the case the Mad
ison Journal says:
mo doubt Judge Becker considers
the espionage act an outrage. He has
acquitted on the ground that the lang
uage constituting the case against him
was uttered before the act went into
effect. One observes that the loudest
critics of this wartime measure are
those whose conduct and language re-
suited in its enactment"
