The troop train of twelve steel tars
carrying (00 soldiers waa bound west

happened. " Every light died and the
darkness overwhelmed the Injured and
startled men. Military discipline operated
almost Instantly. "
Modern Cars Save Lives.
That there waa not an appalling loss
of life when several cars of the long
train- were 'snapped from the track and
thrown down a twenty foot embankment
Is due undoubtedly to the fact that the
oars were modern alt steel and fitted
with cane seats and metal rods; the
best type ot subway ear with which
New Yorkers are familiar.
The three men who were killed lost
their lives In a peculiar way. They
were sitting on the left side of the
seventh car. As It was Jerked from the
track It turned upside down swiftly.
The three men simply were hurled head
first against the cement floor. Their
heads wore crushed and they suffered
Internal injuries which otherwise would
have been fatal. Most of those In
jured seriously got their hurts In pre
cisely the same way from being thrown
Violently against the floor or metal
ides of the cars and by cuts from
broken glass.
flupt. Savage of the Long Island Rail
road. In talking last evening about the
wreck, dwelt especially on the splendid
behavior of the soldiers. Mr. Savage
couldn't aay enough to express his ad
miration. "The behavior of those (boys was
superb," he said.
What the superintendent had particu
larly in mind woe the fact that fifty
men In every car were suddenly- wedged
, against one side of the car. Jammed
against each other with stunning vio
lence and held for minutes In awkward
and painful attitudes. Had there been
frantic struggling and headless efforts
to get free of the jam many more would
have been hurt and some doubtless
would have been added to the list of
killed.
The officials refused formally to admit
that the rails had been tampered with
by enemy hands, but they did point out
that the particular stretch of track on
which the accident occurred Is regarded
aa one of tho best on the main line.
Wear a German Settlement.
Arraying these facta, the officials find
it difficult to believe that the accident
waa a mere happen go. It Is known that
track walkers lately have found an un
usual number of spikes missing from ties.
Bplkes drop out now and then, but not
In the numbers reported by the track
walkers. If a German desired to wreck
a train he could scarcely select a better
method. It was noted that the wreck
occurred very near a German community
. Oermnntown It Is locally called. And
all over that part of Long Island the
rumor had been flying about that troop
trains were to be moved on Sunday
night. The whole affair necessitates
Investigation, and detectives from sev
eral Federal and other agencies were on
the Job yesterday.
The locomotive and the first four cars
ef the twelve-car train passed over the
broken rail (or whatever defect It may
have been) In safety. One of the wheels
ef the fifth car caught and Jarred from
the track. But the couplings were strong
and new and did not Immediately part,
so that tho locomotive and the first four
cars continued to pull the rest of the
train.
Then the coupling between the fourth
and fifth cars broko, the fifth car
(mapped off the track, pulling the sixth,
seventh and eighth cars with it, and the
four, turning over as they went, rolled
down a twenty foot embankment and
topped at the bottom with a terrlflo Jar.
The ninth car did not topple over, but waa
held partly upon the track and partly off
by Jamming against an end of the
eighth car projecting from the embank
ment pit.
The accident occurred about twenty
miles west of Camp Upton The 000
men on the train were members of Com
panies K, F and O of the 305th Infantry.

Mr. Bchaeffer enjoyed not only Broad

IMPARTIAL TRIAL
FOR COL. GARDINER
Veteran Calls Order for Court
. martial "High Handed
Proceedings."
Aside from the announcement last
night that the court-martial of Col.
Asa Bird Gardiner, IT. S. A, retired,
would be absolutely Impartial, so. that
no Insinuations of a packed court might
be later advanced, there waa naught
but silence yesterday In the case of tho
veteran officer, who Brought on the trial
by alleged insults to the uniform of the
New York Guard.
, Col. Gardiner was successful In keep
ing silence for the' day, although It was
learned that he regarded the charges as
"silly." The only new bearingon the
cam was the statement by Lieut Arthur
James, head of the publicity division
of the New Torst' Guard, after a long
distance call to the Adjutant-General's
office In Albany.
It was learned yesterday that the
Insult attributed to Col. Gardiner was
not the flrst he Is said to have made.
Previously remarks laid to him were
disregarded officially, but the Instance
that caused the order for court
martial waa too public to be overlooked.
That waa last Wednesday night at
the Huguenot Society dinner at the
Plaxa Hotel, when Col. Gardiner la said
to have told Capt Howard Duffleld,
chaplain of the Ninth Coast Defence
Command, Now York Guard, that he
"wouldn't wear" the Guard uniform.
Capt Duffleld, who Is pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, filed a complaint
Col. Gardiner Is said to have char-1
acterlxed the charges as "high handed
proceedings." Military men recalled the
fact yesterday that when the Socretacy
of War asked the Colonel to return a
medal of honor awarded for valor at
Gettysburg he termed the proceedings
as due to "the Infamous National
Guard cabal."
If Col.Gardlner Is found guilty he
may be stripped of hln rank and hare

N. Y. ATHLETIC CLUB
BANS ALL TRAITORS
Thousand Members Cheer Pa
triotic Message Sent by
Col. Roosevelt
STRONG SPEECHES MADE
Challenge I'ails to Produco
Single Voto Against Lo'ynl
S .1st Resolutions'.
One thousand cheering members of
the New York Athletic Club crowded
into the gymnasium at the clubhouse
on Central I-urk South last night and
unanimously adopted a resolution giving
authority to the board ot governors to
take summary action in the case of
any member who shows by word or
deed that he Is an alien enemy or arm
puth'iser with sry nation at war with
tho United States. It was further pro
vided that copies of the papers upon
which any expulsion la based be for
warded to the United States District
Attorney In Netv York and to the De
partment of Justice at Washington.
Four club members already have been
eepelled for their German sympathies.
The cases of a number of others ari
now being Investigated. No report wai
made on them Inst night, but It was
stated that the board of governors ex
pected to hear from the committee hav
ing the matter In charge at any time
and that such action aar the facts wa
ranted would Immediately be taken.
Major Graeme M. Hammond, the club
president, was In the chair last night
and the resolutions were presented by
William H. Page, a former president.
They were seconded by Justice Bartow
S. Weeka of the Supreme Court and
John B. Stanchfleid. They had the In
dorsement ot Thomas Fortuno Ryan.
Any member who opposed their passage
was challenged to take the floor, but
no one arose.
"Our 5,(00 members have bought
largely of Liberty bonds, subscribed
generously to every war charity and
have stood loyally by our President In
his efforts to mobilize the assets of this
country In time to give desperately
needed aid to our Allies," said Mr.
Stanchfleid. "As a club and as in
dividuals we are behind the Govern
ment with our fortunes and our Uvea.
Our sons are on the firing line and
patrolling tho aeas that we may pre
serve our lives and liberty, small
wonder Is tt that we havo convened
to stamp out disloyally in our own
ranks,
"To learn In the newspapers that our
clubhouse has been a rendezvous for
traitors to our policy came as a rude
shock. A member of this club who will
drink to the success of our enemies or
the enemies. ot our allies Is giving aid
and comfort to those who are ruthlessly
murderlng our citizens, and ought. In
the very nature ot things, be summarily
expelled. There Is no room tor debate.
It Is unbelievable that conduct so harm
ful to our prestige and so destructive of
our Influence can be palliated or con
doned."
A letter waa read from Col. Itoose
velt, an honorary member, written from
Sagamore Hill to Clement March, stat
ing his approval of the resolutions.
"Any man who la for Germany and
her allies, or against our allies. Is a
traitor to America and should be treated
as such." Col. Roosevelt wrote.
A rising vote was taken on the reso
lutions, and It was voted that the refusal
of any member to record himself In
their favor be made the subject of im
mediate action by the board ot gov
ernors. It was set forth In the resolutions
that It waa the duty of the club to up
hold the cause of the United States and
Its ajlles and that It waa particularly
Important that no act be countenanced
on the part of any member, either di
rectly or Indirectly, which might reflect
on the flag.
The resolutions recited that this was
not only a matter of loyal sentiment but
a practical means of furthering the
cause of tho Allies and preventing occur
rences which might have a direct effect
upon the lives of members of the club
at stake In the war.
The appointment of 0!en. Foch as
Commander In Chief of
the Allied
Armies also was Indorsed.

Foderal Agents Ready to
Seize Foot Under New Law.
Bpircitl DttpatcK to Tits Snx.
Washington, April 15. The entire
machinery of the Department of Justice
Is ready for a nationwide roundup ot
women "spies" as soon as the bill making
women alien enemies becomes law. These
women will bo Interned for the prlod, of
the war. Many have been under surveil
lance of Department of Justice agents
and Intelligence men of the army and
navy for many months. Some are re
garded as more dangerous than men,
and no time will be lost taking them into,
custody.
Property of the women alien enemies
will be turned over to the 'alien property
custodian for administration. Their In
ternment offers a problem as yet un
solved. Probably a women's Internment
camp will be opened In the South. The
flrst roundup by Department of Justice
agents Is expected to bring In, an least
100 women who have been giving tho
authorities much trouble and concern.
Under the President's proclamation
calling for the resignation of all alien
enemies fvomen of German birth or
nationality win nave to register ana
keep out of barred rones, Registration
machinery that did effective work In tho
registration of German men will be
utilised.
Though much of the German plotting
end propaganda has been laid to women
the Department of Justice doos not an
ticipate any trouble with the vast ma
jority" of German women who bave not
become naturalised. In great measure
they are out of touch with the world's
affairs.

SYRACUSE BALLOT
FRAUDS CHARGED
"Wots" and "Drys" Are Fight
ing' Bitterly on Evo of
Option Ejection.
Snetal Dttpalch to Tss Box.
Stracbs. April 15. With State
Superintendent of Elections P. I Mar
shall and Deputy Attorney-General Hln
man here probing the charges of fraud,
illegal registration and other Irregu
larities, the attention of the whole State
Is centred to-day on the local option
election In this city. The vote will
be taken to-morrow nnd Wednesday.
The fight here is the bitterest In the
municipality's history. Charges of
colonization of voters and Illegal regis-
tratlon of Syracuse university students
brought Investigators from the State
Election Bureau here a week ago.
Thirty detectives nave also been
brought here by the "drye." and the
license faction has also employed a
score or more private detectives to In
vestigate the alleged Illegal registra
tion. It was dectared to-day by pne of the
State Investigators thst so far about
1,800 voters had registered from ad
dresses where they were not residing
to-day. Ono arrest has been made. A
leader for the "wets" Is charged with
having Induced a twenty-year-old boy
to register, although the boy Informed
the man he was under age.
The police, fearing disorder1, have
strengthened their force. Sixty firemen
wero sworn In to-day as special depu
ties. Three flying squadrons of police
will nleo be in readiness to respond
to any complaint. Automobiles and
motorcycles will be held at their com
mand. Supreme Court Justices Crouse and
Ross ruled to-day that soldiers and
sailors In training camps may vot at
the election by sending in their votes
by messenger, mall or telegraph with
proof of legal qualifications to vote
They decided also that soldiers and
sailors home on furloughs who were
absent from their districts on regtstra
tlon day may vote by filing proof.
This ruling, lawyers say. permits the
fighters to vote In all the thirty-nine
cities In the State where local option
elections are to be held. The decision
was tho result of a request by Thomas
E. Kennedy, City Clerk, for Instructions
tor receiving and counting the soldiers'
votes.
Both "wet" and "dry" forces sent
hundreds of telegramB Immediately to
Syracuse soldiers in all the Eastern
military camps Instructing them how
to voto and asking them to telegrapa
their votes with the supporting am
davit. The "wets" also sent special
messengers to nearby camps to bring
the votes back by Wednesday ntsht
at oclock.
Thirty-eight cities In the State besides
Syiacuae will Vote on local option to

CITY PIER LESSEE'S
$30,000 OFFER MET
Hudson Pock Company liaises
Bid Accepted by Dock
Commissioner.
The Hudson Dock and Terminal Com
pany has met the offer of the Occidental
Dock Company for 320,000 for a ten yar
lease on Tier S. North River, according
to William M. Wemple of the law firm
of Crlm & Wemple, which has been re
tained as the company's counsel. The
flrst his client knew of the offer of the
present lessee, be declared, waa when
the storm broko at the meeting of the
Sinking Fund Commission on. Thursday.
At once, to show their good faith, his
client company Increased their offer
from $25,000 to $30,000, In spite ot the
fact that the commission had already
approved a lease at a lower figure.
Dock Commissioner Hulbert declared
yesterday that he did not care to go Into
the details of the transaction prior to
the presentation of his affidavit to the
court In the injunction proceeding that
has been brought to prevent his enter
ing Into the Tease with the Hudson com
pany. 'You ask whom I meant when on
leaving the Major's office on Saturday,
I declared they can't make a goat of
me.' " said the Commissioner. I meant
the Occident Dock Company, of course."
course."
It Is understood the Commissioner
will Indicate that the Occident com
pany had-delayed making a definite of
fer, hoping to get a renewal of the
lease at a low figure, until his patience
was exhausted. ,
Will Reply In Coart. ,
"Will you make any reply now to the
affidavit f! James Arkell, president of
the Occident company, that he was un
able to nee you from April 1 to April
10, and that In the meantime you recom
mended to the Sinking Fund Commission
tho approval of the offer of the Hudson
company?" the Commissioner was asked.
No, I intend to present my reply In
affidavit form to the court, and It will
be a complete answer to even one of
all allegations, and satisfactory to every
body." On the representation of the Corpora
tion Counsel's office that they had not
had time to present their case, Crlm
and Wemple havo consented -to an ad
journment of the return of the order
to show cause until Friday morning. It
will come up then before Justice Green-
baum.
Mr. Wemple on behalf of his clients
declared there waa no politics in their
effort to get a lease of Pier . It was
simply a business proposition. They
will make a plain statement of the facts
to the court, he said, and they expected
that It would show the present lessees
had no cause to complain.
Tells Ilalbert'a Letters.
Mr. Wemple said that the only person
Interested In the Hudson company In
addition to Frank McGoey ot Far Hock
away was J. P. McAllister ot (McAllister
Bros. They do all tho lighterage work
for the United States Steel Corporation.
About a year ago these two 'men go: a
chance to acquire some ships. They
needed a pier and on March 13 wrote
to Commissioner Hulbert offering 125,000
fer a ten year lease on Plor 9, which
they had learned would be on the mar
ket. Two days later they received an
ackiioa-Iedgement In which the Com
missioner said ho would take tho offer
under consideration. They heard nothing
more until April 6 or 7, when they re
ceived a letter raying the Commissioner
had recommended tho acceptance of their
offer to the Sinking Fund Commlsaon.
Application had been made by tho
Hudson company to the Government for
some ships, Mr. Wemple said, and they
hoped they would get them. In the
meantime. If they should get the lease,
they could use the pier for the business
of the McAllister Lighterage Company,
and berths could be rented to outside
persons.
It Is probable that as a result of the
storm over this lease some attempt will
'be made to have all piers put up at
auction for the highest bidder In the
future.

Mlto. Clifford, the spangled little lady

S After Mamzelle had hungrily tasted a
few daggers to the amaseinent of the
crowd, she told the sailors to watch

of grabbing the bayonet from a German

To-day Jeff Davis, king of the hoboes,
