RESIGNS UNDER FIRE.
Broome County Treasurer Quits on
Eve of Hearing.
[By Telteraph to Ms Mksns.]
Blngbamton. X. V.. Sept. 7.-The relation
of David B. King. Treasurer of Broome Coun
ty, was filed with the County Clerk last as
the office was closing at noon to-day, and caused
a sensation. Mr. King had been subpeenaed by
a special messenger from Governor Hughes yes
terday to appear In Albany on Monday, and ex
plain certain alleged misappropriations of funds
discovered by the State Controller's assistants
in going over the county books and which re
t-jlted In Mr. King's arrest a week ago. By
filing his resignation at this time he avoids the
necessity of appearing in Albany.
In a statement given out by his counsel. It Is
asSMSBsBSi that the resignation was decided on
for the reason that common law practice is not
followed In appearing before the Governor and
there Is no appeal from that executive's de
cision. As the charges Mr. King would have to
uriEwer are Identical with those on which he is
to be prosecuted, a defence at this time was not
considered wise.
It is expected that Governor Hashes irlll ap

URGES REGARD FOR LAW
Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co. Head
Upholds President's Trust Plans.
Anton A. Raven, president of the Atlantic Mu
tual Insurance Company. Is one of the promi
nent men In the financial district who believe
that great pood to the country -will result from
the administration's insistence upon compliance
with the law by corporations. Mr. Raven Paid
yesterday to a Tribune reporter:
•'The gravest menace to the welfare of the
United States to-day is the general disregard for
law and authority. This feeling of contempt is
manifested on every side. You can find a
familiar example In the daily crush at the
Brooklyn Bridge, where the rights of individuals
and the reasonable regulations of the railway
company alike are ignored; or on the trolley
cars, here men smoke although the posted
rules forbid smoking-. The frequency of lynch
ings and the violence accompanying many
strikes are proof of the same tendency.
"President Roosevelt has been severely criti
cised for his policy of prosecuting corporations
which the Department of Justice has reason to
believe have broken the laws, and it may be
that in the carrying out of that policy hardship
may have been worked in some instances. But
when the time arrive?, in years to come, for a
dispassionate Judgment to be formed of the acts
of the present national administration, that
Judgment will, I believe, be that the policy of
Mr. Roosevelt regarding corporations resulted in
vastly more benefit 'tl. an harm; and hlgrh credit
will be awarded him for his successful effort to
compel obedience to th,- law on the part of pow
erful combinations of capital, to proceed against
•which has required the exercise of no ordinary
degree of courage. In forcing the corporations
to respect the law. President Roosevelt has
given an Impressive and much needed lesson to
the poor as well a* the rich."
""What do you think of the business outlook
here and abroad?" was asked.
"Th.-! situation will correct Itself, both in this
country and in Europe," answered Mr. Haven
"l don't believe that we are to have a long con
tinued period of severe business depression. The
present check should be welcomed, for If the
inflation of values and expansion of business
had not teen stopped there would before lons
have com© an explosion compared with which,
for disastrous results, the bursting of the South
Sea bubble would appear a trifle?"
TRACT! OX CASE UNDONE.
Federal Court Reverses Decision of
Judge Grosscup in Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 7. — The order recently entered
by Judge Grosscup in the United States Circuit
Court, directing the receivers of the Union
Traction Company, which operates the street
car systems on the North and West sides of
the city, to turn these properties over to a new
corporation called the Chicago Railways Com
pany for twenty years, was reversed to-day by
the United States Court of Appeals.
The decision of th« higher court remands the
case to the United States Circuit Court and
leaves the traction situation where It was be
fore the formation of the Chicago Railways
Company. It was the opinion of the Court of
Appeals that Judge Grosscup had no power to
give possession to the Chicago Railways Com
pany without the consent of the bondholders
and stockholders of the underlying companies,
and that the only manner in which the railways
company can Ret possession of the traction
properties Is through negotiations with the
stockholders and the bondholders.
The City Council passed an ordinance some
time ago granting to the Chicago Railways
Company the right to operate the streetcar
systems on the North and West sides of the
city. This ordinance, in the opinion of Justice
Brewer, of the United States Supremo Court,
who read the decision, was fair and should
have been put in operation. The court held,
however, that the wisdom of such a decision,
or even public necessity from a business point
of view, could not be taken into consideration,
as the interests of the private property holders
were the paramount points at issue.
The action taken by the Court of Appeals
hinged entirely on the question of Jurisdiction.
The power of Judge Grosscup to Issue the or
der in fpvor of the Chicago Railways Company
was the only thing assailed. The opinion of
Judge Brewer praised the wisdom of the or
der issued by Judge Grosscup. but declared that
legally it was wrong.
The ordinance passed by the City Council in
favor of the Chicago Hallways Company has
never been formally accepted by that corpora
tion, end as the time for its acceptance ex
pires by limitation on September 14. It will be
Impossible for the company to obtain possession
of the properties by negotiation with the stock
holders and bondholders by that time. The
entire traction situation, therefore, reverts to
the period when the properties were held by re
ceivers, and before the proposed unification of
the North an<l West side lines was contem
plated.

SUICIDE 0N i§ IT TRACKS
Brooklyn Crated Fights to Get
Mementos of the Tragedy.
Not for months has the morbidness of a crowd
been more strikingly emphasized than It was
yesterday ia Brooklyn, when Edward C. Hal
bach, a stenographer, killed himself after a quar
rel with his Slater. He threw himself under an
elawatsd train at the Halsey ■tree! station of
the Lexington avenue line. The train swept on.
s:. .;>r 'insr when his body was Imprisoned beneath
the rear trucks of tho first car. Only a part of
iy was there, however, for several pieces
f.-ll Into the street below. Then for throe hours,
while the "breakdown" gang of the road, the
; and the firemen labored to set out what
.. 0 of the stenographer, the crowd fought
to (?et snmn memento of the grewsome tragedy.
Half an hour after the suicide ten thousand
parsons were t'.tchtlt-k- for a chance to see some
I the body, portions of which protruding
fjw m t!,« structure could be seen from the street.
Thirty patrolmen llsnrwl a space immediately
h and by dint of putting the ends of their
nlffhUticks forcibly against tho stomacha of the
ghouls who fought for a closer view, kept most
of them back.
The wrecking crew came down with a crane
and began at once the work of lifting the train.
bo that what was left of the body could be ex
tricated. Firemen placed ladders from the street
to aid them, but could do little, although they
fought, with the police, to keep the morbid
throngs within bounds. *
As soon as the breakdown pang had lifted the
car a few inches r>r. Da Costa, of the Bush
wicl Hospital, wormed his way between the
ties to reach the body. He took a big "gun,"
full of morphine, with him, but he did not have
to use it. Halbach was unmistakably dead.
Then the police had to pull the physician out
backward, BO confined was tho epace. After
two and a half hours of hard work, the dlsmem
bsrod body W»s extricated and traffic was re
■umed. Ths block had reached back to East
New York.
Halbacb lived with his Bister, Mrs. Edward
W. Bhaw, at No. 618 Decatui street Tester
day mornli ho went to work they q»iar
relled. "U hat it was about neither she nor her
husband will t- :;. but Halbach went through
his work nil day In a manner showing that
it toad lay on his mind.
For an hour he stayed on the platform at
street before he killed himself. As
every train approached he would leave his po
noar the U ket chopper and walk toward
tge of the platform. While this attracted
attention, it was thought by the chopper and
ticket agent that he simply was Impatiently
waiting for some one, and they gave him no
further notice. By B o'clock the stairs leading
to the station were choked by those who could
not pet on tho platform. As a I^exington ave
nue train approached Halbach had got to tho
edge of the platform. As the train began to
slow down ho waited until the last moment and
then cast himself on the track.
The motorman. QsorgjS Ehring. paw something
flash by his window. The "feel" of the train
beneath him, as it lifted to the unmistakable
soft Jo!t that conies when it strikes a living
thing, caused Ehrlng to Jam hard on the brakes.
Tho shoes bit bo quickly that tho passengers in
the crowded cars u^re thrown forward, and
what with the horror on the station platform and
tho fright on the train there was an incipient
panic for some time. It was not until the police
had cleared the platform and train that It was
overcome. Afterward Dr. Da Coata had to re-
Vive fifteen women who had fainted.

AGEEE ON FISHERIES.
Modus Vivendi for Newfoundland
Signed at London.
London, Sept. 7. — It Is not denied now, either
at the American Embassy or at the Foreign
Office, that Ambassador Reid and Sir Edward
Grey to-day signed a modus vlvendl to cover
the present fishing season In Newfoundland,
but at both places It Is said that the details
must come either from "Washington or New
foundland. Their publication at both places
may be expected soon. In the mean time The
Aesoclated Press believes Itself warranted In
saying that the modus vivendi of last year, as
then carried out, has practically been renewed.
Newfoundland fishermen will be enlisted by
American vessels. In place of resorting to purse
eeines and Sunday fishing. Besides, if Premier
Bond and the American fishermen should prefer
to ajrree on any form of the Premier's latest
proposals. Great Britain and the United States
are favorably inclined to sanction It.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. 1
"Washington, Sept. 7.— The modus vlvendl
with Great Britain, providing the conditions
which shall govern the taking of fish In New
foundland waters pending the adjudication of
the questions at issue by the Hague tribunal,
was completed in London to-day, and the sig
nature of Ambassador Reid affixed, according to
official dispatches received here late to-night.
While It is not deemed advisable to make pub
lic the full particulars of the modus vlvendl at
present. It Is Intimated that It Is substantially
a renewal of lant year's agreement. The hope
is expressed that further advices will reach
here to-morrow In time to permit the announce
ment of the exact terms in the newspapers of
Monday morning. Its terns will then be com
municated by telegraph to Professor Alexander
of the Fish Commission, who, as a result of the
foresight of Senator Lodge, accompanied the
Gloucester fleet to the flahing banks on the rev
enue cutter Oresham. Senator Lodge urged
that Professor Alexander be designated to ac
company <he fleet, so that as soon as the new
modus vlvendl was completed he could be ad
vised of its terms and could. In turn, communi
cate them to the masters of the fishing vessels.
While previous advices from Ambassador Reid
have clearly indicated the successful conclu
sion of the negotiations. In which he has been
for some time engaged, great satisfaction has
been expressed by the President and the Secre
tary of State, both of whom have been !n com
, munieation with Washington this evening, over

GREAT CROWDS AT START.
One Hundred Thousand Person*
Sing "Rule Britannia."
[By Th* Assoeiat*: Frtsa.]
Liverpool. Sept. Amid the cheering of ten*
of thousands of well-wishers and the shrieking
of many sirens, the giant Cunard Line steamer
Lusitania sailed this evening on a 3.OCO^aIIe
race against time across the Atlantic and tier*
is hardly a person In England to-night who Is
not convinced that by next Friday the greatest
turbine steamer ever constructed will haw won
back for the Cunard Line the laurels wrested
from it ten years ago by the North German
Lloyd Line.
Probably never before has so much interest
been shown m the maiden voyage of a new ves
sel. Thl3 can be attributed partly to the in
tense rivalry between England and Germany in
the transatlantic passenger traffic, partly to na
tional pride in ownership — Lusitania is be
lieved to be the- greatest triumph of the ship
builders* art— and to no small extent to the
sporting element afforded by the prospects si
a race between the youngest Atlantic flyer and
the Lucania. at one time the holder of the rec
ord.
The Lusitania was over one hour late In
starting, and It was five minutes past nine this
evening when the huge vessel swung clear of
the landing: stasre and started to chase her
smaller sister, the Lucania. which, with four
hours' start, already was far down the Irish
Sea.
Fully one hundred thousand spectators lined
the landing stage and the river banks near
the pier, and yelled themselves hoarse as the
liner gathered headway down the river, and
every steamer and riverside £actory for miles
along the Mersey Joined in the chorus of good
bys. The din was deafening.
Lighted from stem to stern along the rows of
portholes that marked her numerous tiers of
decks, the mammoth proportions of the Lusi
tania were emphasised by the Illuminations,
and the vessel presented a fine spectacle as sh»
began to move away. The demonstration
reached Its climax when the vast multitude
broke out with -Rule. Britannia." This songr
was taken up by the crowds on the Cheshire
side of the river and sun* until the ship, with
her three thousand passengers, had passed be
yond the sight of the four-mile-long riverside
promenade.
The Lusitania will be allowed to go easily a*
far as Queenstown. but from there it Is ex
pected that she will be driven at her full speed
of 25J4 knots an hour. Of course, the officials
of the Cunard Line say that no race Is con
templated, but the engine room crews of the
two vessels have been busy for a week 'n get
ting everything in readiness with the expecta
tion that the engines will bo called upon to do
their best on this occasion. Twenty hours is
about the lowest estimate toy which the Lusi
tania Is expected to beat the Lueania Into New
York.
All the accommodations on both vessels fca*e
been taken For the Xiucania. 370 first class
and 360 second class passengers bava been
booked, and for the laisttania 480 first class
and 495 second class. The lists Include, many
prominent persona. Among the passengers oo
the Lusitania will be E. C. Barber. H. Ck Doha.
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hay. Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Goelet. Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus H. McCortnick and
S. C Perkins. The Lucanla take* the team of
the Marylebone Cricket Club, which will stay
a series of games In America, and Bishop P. J,
OReilly.

money. Jefferson invariably lost, and he finally

keep the peace. Johnson has told him that he
