Five Victims On Long Island

New York, July 3O.-William | Bottlieb, president of Gottlieb & Rab- inowitz. Inc, garment manufacturers and four young women, were killed early yesterday when Long Island passenger train crashed into the auto mobile in which they were returning from Long Beach.
 The accident occurred at the Mer- rick Road crossing in Rockville Gen. ter when, according to witnesses. Got tliebs car smashed through the cross ing gates directly in the path of the speeding train.
 Wreckage and bodies were hurled or carried for more than 100 feet and the front of the automobile still was wedged into the locomotive when the train came to a stop 1000 feet down the track
 Death apparently came instantly to four of the five victims. One of the young women was alive when she was lifted from the wreckage, but died as she was being placed in an automo- bile to be rushed to hospital. Got tileb's body was caught beneath the lEdlu ana ulSTlGHlDeT6u.
 Returning From Outing
 Gottliebs body was identified by business cards and a summons for speeding which were found in his pockets. One of the young women was identified by letters as Miss Mar garet E. Lewis of Manhattan. Her parents were said to be in Atlantic City. The authorities immediately communicated with Gottlieb's office to establish the identity of the others.
 Gottlieb and his party were said to have been returning from an outing of the National Merchandise Fair, ar ranged by the Retail Dry Goods asso- citation, when the accident occurred.
 Edwin John Scott, gateman at the Merrick Road crossing, told the au- thorities he had lowered the crossing gates for the las. Babylon theater crowd train from New York, when the headlights of Gottlieb's car ap- peared through the gloom and the car came hurling up the road. With out slowing down, he declared, the machine plowed through the gates just in time to be struck by the train which was travelling at a speed of nearly 60 miles an hour.
 Says Gates Down
 Engineer F. x. Yaeger added his testimony that the gates had been lowered, Scott, nevertheless, was ar rested by the Rockville Center police and held on a technical charge of homicide.
 Dist. Atty. Weeks conducted an Inquiry into the accident at which testimony about the gates was given.
 While the gateman and engineer insisted they had been lowered. and

COMES UP EARLY;
FEB. 6 DATE FIXED
Attorney c. O. Daley ''Put
One Over" Neatly
ORDER IS RECEIVED
He Filed Petition without Max
ing 1t Known To His
Opponent

The city charter commission won
its first round Ill the long litigation
battle over the admission of GER
tain amendments it desires TO make
TO the city charter, when orders
were received this morning from the
tate supreme court by the attor-
neys for the city and the commits
sion, informing them that the time
for filing briefs on the rehearing of
the controversy had been advanced
to February 6, 1928. The action by
the supreme count is the first time,
since the matter first came up sew
eral months ago, that the cnartet
commission scored in its move
against the city.
In three attempts TO have the city
put the question TO vote OF the
people, the charter commission were
repulsed. First by the city council
and then by two decisions Of Judge
w. l.. Comstock of Blue Earth dis :
trict court.
The counsel for the city charter
commission stole march on the
city, when shortly after filing notice
of appeal from Judge Comstock's
decision TO the supreme court, a
petition was sent TO the state SUI
preme court asking that an ad
yancement be made of the case 10
ensure decision by that body IL
the immediate future.
Order OF Supreme Court.
The supreme court order follows:
ut lis ordered that this cause be
advanced Tor rehea1lne aaG That il
be submitted upon briefs Of counsel
without oral argument on February
DAoNAnAnnta. hf.iA Of "a
in typewritten form
IL made the petition TO the su
preme court to have the case advanced
so il could be settled promptly with
out any more delay, as in the past
Il is probable that decision will
be made soon, and if it is favora BILE
to the charter commission, we will
be able to know what to do before
the general election in April" de
! clared c. o. Daily, counsel for the
commission, this morning.
At the time Of the notice of ap-
peal was filed in the clerk of court s
office here two weeks ago, it was
presumed by officials that the mat.
| ter would not come before the su
preme court for some time, as un
der the former provisions the plain
tiff was allowed sixty days within
] which to file his brief and the de
PENDANT thirty days thereafter. At
torney Daily stated today that his
brief has already been filed with the

which the briefs must be filed with

good deal but will manage to have
it there all right" said City Attor

seem right that the city was slight
ed in not being informed of the

date. The first intimation of the
action was received when | got the
