ALBANY, May 27. Electric enrs rac
ing for a witch while running iu oppo
site directions ut the rule of 4(1 miles nu
hour cost tire lives Sunday nftcrnon!
by terrilic collision, while over 40 promi
nent people, some futully and others seri
ously injured, filled the accident wnrds of
the various honpitnls.
The scene of the accident was a point
about two miles out of East Grecnlmxh
on the line of the Albany and Hudson
railway, a just completed road of the
tliird-rnil pattern. The point where the
cars met on the single track was at
sharp curve and so fast were both run
ning and so suililcn the collision that the
motorola n never had time to put on the
brakes before southbound car No. '22
had gone almost clean through north
bound car No. 17, with human flesh for
a buffer, and hung on the edge of a high
bluff with Its load of shrieking, maimed
hmiiauity. Due niotoriiian was pinioned
up against the smashed front of the
soiithhound car wilh Isith legs severed
and killed iiotmitly. while the other onu
lived but a few ninutes.
Fully 11 men, women and children
formed a huge, struggling, shrieking py
ramid, mixed with blood, detached por
tions of human bodies and the wreckage
of the cars. Some of the more slightly
Injuns! of the men extricating them
selves, the quivering mass ls-gau to pour
out of the rear ends of the two cars, and
almost every one extricated in this way
wa bnilly injured.
Help had hccii summoned from Eat
firi'i-ubush and vicinity and in a little
time the hruined ninsa of humanity wllll
the mutilated dead for gruesome and si
lent company were loaded ou extra cars
and taken to Albany. There ambulances
and physicians hail Ix-cn summoned and
the postofllcc tunnel into a morgue and
hospital. As fust as the physicians could
temporarily fix up wounded they were
taken to their homes or the hospitals In
carriages or hospital ambulances.
With both motorinen killed it was hard
to get at the real cause of the accident,
but It Is pretty well determined that It
was -uucd by an attempt of the soiith
IkiihmI car to reach a second switch In
ptcad nf waiting for the. nortlilniund af
the first siiling.
The cars weigh 15 tons each and are
the largest electric cars built, but so
frightful was the crash that both cars
were torn nlmost to splinter. Both cars
were filled with jovons Sunday pleasure
pekers returning from the newly opened
recreation grounds that the new railway
has just opened. The southlmund car left
Albany at 4iW and the accident occurred
nt "i o'clock. The cars on the line were
running at switch headway, that Is as a
car reached a siding switch It was sup
posed to wait until another going In the
oppiwitc directlou passed. The niolor
mnn of the southbound car reached one
of the switches, hut seeing no uorthlMund
car decided to take chances and go on
to the next. It was at a curve between
them that the two cars met

PAN-AMERICAN CLOSING.
Appellate Court Itenrrves IWIlnn In Mo
tion to Prevent Sunday Opening.
HOt II ESTER, May S.-For the third
time the question as to Sundny closing of
the Pnn-Amcrlcan exposition was
brought before the appellate division yes
terday afternoon. Since the case was
last before the court the lawyers cm-
nlovcd have agreed upon the facta on
which the action Is based. The move
ment is veiled under a motion for the re
moval of two Buffalo police commission
ers on the grounds that they have been
derelict In performing their duties in
allowing the exposition to remain opeu
on May . nnd 1-.
Attorney West wood, fur the petitioner,
Oscar Chapin. nrgued that although the
governor appointed the police for the
grounds the power or tlie police commis
sioner was not abridged. Lawyer Clin-
necn of Buffalo appeared in opposition
to the motion. He snid that the police
commissioner have relied upon the fnct
that there was and Is a police force ap
pointed by the governor doing duty at
the l'nii-Ainerican grounds and lielieved
that the exposition police would preserve
the pence and prevent Tlolntion of the
law, a.nd that they have been forced to
act upon the assumption that the Pan-
American police force was doing its
thity. The court reserved decision.

GOVERNMENT IS UPHELD
Supreme Court' Ikerlnlont In the In
sular Cases.
WASIIlNdTON, May 2S.-In the
United Stuti-s supreme court yesterdaj
opinions were hnmlcd down In all but two
of the cases lief ire that court iiivolrliuj
tln relation of the I'nited Slutes to iu
Insular ptmsessions. The two cases ic
which no conclusion was announced
Were those known as the 11 diamond
rings cae and the second of the Iloolc)
Mses. The undecided Dooley case dealt
t.ith a phase of the Porto Iticuii ques
tion and the diamond ring cast1 involve
the right to the free Importation ol
merchandise from the Philippines to th
I'nited Mntes.
Of the several caws decided yesterday
the two which attracted the greatest
share of attention from the court were
what Is known as the Do Lima case and
that known as the Dowiu-s cane, and ol
these two the opinion in the llinvnn
rase is considered the most far reach
ing as It affects our future relations,
whereas the De Limn case dealt with a
transitional phuse of our insulur rela
tions. The le Lima case was the firs!
to receive the attention of the court and
as It appeared to be quite sweeplngly
opposed to the government' conten
tions, many persons precipitately ar
rived at the conclusion that the govern
ment had been worsted all along the line.
This view suffered a decided change
when the conclusion was announced iu
the Ilowues ciuic. The court was V"i-y
evenly divided oil both enses, but politi
cal lines were not at all cunt rolling.
The lie Limn case involved the pnwet
of the government to collect a duty on
goods Imported into the I'nited Statu
from l'orto Rico after the rati lies tiou
of the treaty of Paris nnd before the
passage of the Porto ltiran act. The
court said the government's contention
In this rase was substantially a claim
that Porto Rico is foreign territory. Tlw
entire case turned upon that contention.
The court held that the position was
not well taken; that Porto Rico was Dot
at the time foreign territory nnd that
therefore the duty which had been col
lected must lie returned.
Prenldent Klstrd Over Victor)-.
SIDNEY, Neb., May 2S.-The presi
dent and the cabinet received the otlleial
Information here that the supreme court
had decided the Insular cases In accord
ance with the contentions of the govern
ment. The news came in the shape of a
telegram from Solicitor (ieneral John K.
Itichnrds. It was hrief, however, and
contained no details Is-yond the bare
announcement that the administration
had been sustnined. Naturally the pres
ident and cabinet otllccrs were elated
over the victory although they have never
doubted that the decision would be in
favor of the government. The members
of the cabinet aboard the train declined
to express their opinions for publication
in advance of a perusal of the text of the
opinion.

MANILA, Moy 24.-The gates of Bil
bid prison, Manila, swung Inst night and
ndmitted a mule wagon bearing three for
mer t'liitcd States ollieers who reluctant
ly alighted and began to serve sentences
in expiation of crimes in connection
With the commissar) sea in la In. The sen
tences which were read to the convicted
men yestenlay afternoon, will be promul
gated today.
Captain Frederick J. Barrows, late

yenrs imprisonment; Captain James C.
Reed, late depot commissary at .Manila,
to three yenrs' Imprisonment, and Lieu
tenant Frederick Buyer, late depot com
missary at Calamba, to one year's Im
prisonment. P-y onler of tlie provost niar.lal, Oeii
eral (icorgo W. Davis, a representative
of the press was accorded an interview
wilh the prisoners. Captain Reed and
Captain Harrow seemed comparatively
unmoved by their situation. Lieutenant
ltoyer protested his innooeeo and seemed
vindictive toward Captain Barrows, who,
he nlleged, was alone guilty of misnppro
prin.ting bnron.
Major Hale, commandant of the prison,
cleared a storeroom to le occupied by
the trio apart from the Filipino prison
ers, but ns Lieutenant Buyer avoids
speaking to Captain Barrows, other ar

American Legation Guard lis Its First
Trouble In l'ekln.
PEKIX, Mny 27.-The United Stntes
legation guard ha had its first trouble.
The legation street Is being repaired near
the legation nnd an American sentry was
placed at the point with orders to di
rect people around by a side street.
Everybody obeyed with the exception of
the Germans, both ulllccrs nnd soldiers,
who have caused the American sentries
much trouble.
One of the German ollieers drew his
word and charged an American soldier
rjbo brought his bayonet to "charge,"
whereupon the officer desisted. Subse
quently a German soldier charged past
the sentry, who fired, hitting another
German soldier near the German lega
tion, a quarter of a mile off. This, for
tunately, was only a light flesh wguud.
The sentry has been placed under arrest,

EAST TAWAS. Mich., May 2.-.-V'u
wooden stcumer Baltimore foundered it
Lake Huron near Au Sable yesterda)
morning anil 12 of her crew of 14 wen
drowned. Two men were tossed about
ill the luke for severul hours, lushed to I
piece of wreckage, aud were tinall)
picked up by the tug Columbia anc
brought here. John McGiuuU, a dirk
hand, one of the rescued, becume insnni
from his experience. The other survivor
Thomas Murphy, of Milwaukee, second
engineer, was ublo tu tell the story ol
the disaster.
The Baltimore .foundered about (
o'clock yesterday morning and he wai
In the water until late in the afternoon
and exposed to the buffeting of furioui
northeast winds.
"We were bound from Lorain to Snull
Ste. -Marie," he said, "ami had iu tow a
large steam drill and scow. When ofl
Thunder Bay last night Captain I'laet
saw that the steamer was making bail
wealhec, for the wares had smashed in
the engine rs' quarters aud the wash
rooms and the wuter was running lute
the hold.
"Captain Place decided to turn about
and run for Tawus for shelter. Every
thing went all right until we were ofl
Au Sable when the steamer struck
heavily ou the bottom. The sen broke
over her at the snine time and carried
away the deckhouse, then the after cabin
and finally the smoke stack fell. Both
rails forward broke in two just nft the
forward deckhouse and we knew that it
was only a few minutes before the
steamer Would go to pieces.
" 'It is every man for himself,' shout
ed Captain Place." continued the engineer.
"The look of despar on Mrs. Place's face
was something I shall never forget. It
was awful. We took the captain's ad
vice nnd every mnn started to save him
self as best he could. Some of the boyt
took to the rigging but McGiuhis and I
lashed ourselves to a ring holt in a piece
of cnl in anil we were washed overboard
shortly afterward.
"The strain was too much for Mi-Gin-r.is
and he went crniy In-fore we lu
been In the wnter long. He tried to throw
me olT the wreck but 1 talked to him and
encouinged him to hold on. Twice he
get loose and tried to drown us botli,
but each time 1 succeeded in quieting
him. I told him a boat was coming to
tnke us off and then I had got him tied
fast again. The Columbia finally came
along and picked us off just as I began
to give up hope. I am afraid the rest
nf the crew are drowned. Including Mrs.
Place."
Thr tug Columbia lost a scow with six
m u on board just before she picked up
the men of the Bnltimorc. The Colum
bia went out again and found the drill
making good weather. Two men were
taken off.
