PROBE QUEER DEATH.
Coroner Orders An tops?/ on
Voutig )Vo m a n 's Bod if.
M - Lucille Clark, daughter of Tin Kng
lish army officer whose widow Is living in
India, died at the Hotel Grenoble, at 56ih
street and Seventh avenue, yesterday
morninc, after an illness which puzzled
three doctors. Coroner Hellenstein or
dered an autopsy to determine the mys
terious malady from which the woman
suffered since Tuesday night.
Miss Clark registered at the hotel last
October, when she said that she had just
arrived from Kngland. She was accom
panied by a Mr. and Mrs. Fryc. who left
the hotel on Wednesday 10 go to their
home in Santa Barbara, Cal. Miss Clark
had arranged to join her companions at the
end of the month. During her stay in
New York she became acquainted with
several families on the West Side, and
on Tuesday night she is said to have been
a guest at a dinner.
The sickness developed on Wednesday,
and Dr. Frank Oastler. of No. 126 West
B9th street, was called. Dr. W. A. Bastedo.
of No. 57 West 56th street, and Dr. Samuel
Lambert, of East 35th street, were present
at a consultation held on Thursday night.
The symptoms of the malady appeared to
show ptomaine poisoning, but the doctors
refused to sign a death certificate.
Coroner. Hellenstein said last night that
the investigation bad been ordered because
cf the peculair symptoms and the lack of
a positive diagnosis. He added that the
death was not regarded as "suspicious"
and that the doctors who attended the.
woman requested an autopsy, which will
be performed at the morgue by Dr. O'Han
•on. ...
Dr. nastier, who had charge of the case,
>aid he notified the Coroner of Miss Clark's
death because she had been alone and
away from friends and that he thought it
nest to have an official investigation In
order that her mother might know Just
what occurred and what efforts were made
to save the woman's life.

Trial of Eight Alleged Coun

Th case of the eight men charge,] with
counterfeiting, amonc them Ignazio I-upo,
known among his countrymen as "The
Wolf." who confessed to a murder In Italy,
and Giuseppi Moreno, alleged leader of the
band, will be sent to the, jury this morning
after Judge Ray delivers his charge. Coun
sel for the government and the accused
men concluded summing up at 10:30 o'clock
last night.
Witnesses were heard yesterday morning
for the prosecution to disprove th»- alibis
submitted by several of the men. The
counsel for th» defence had in rebuttal sev
eral men on the stand to disprove charges
made in the latter days of the trial.
William J. Byrne, of counsel for the pris
oners, began the summing up. Up said that
the principal government witness, Antonio
Comito. was an acknowledged counterfeit < r
and that his evidence was depended upon
by the prosecution to convict the prisoners.
He denounced the alleged aspersion cast
upon Sicily by Abel I. Smith, Assistant
United States Attorney, implied and direct,
in his cross-examination. »
Mirabeau 1,. Towns, who has been the
examining counsel for the men on trial,
followed. He declared that Lupo was not
bring prosecuted, but persecuted, and that
the whole course of the government's pro
eeedtags bore that stamp.
Mr Smith closed with an address of three
hours' duration, in which he laid especial
• ■ I on the reliability of the witness
Comito. He also depicted the terrors of
Sicilian rengeance, of which the witnesses
tor the government were in fear. The
maximum penalty that may be inflicted on

XKW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRVARY 19. 1910.
DREAM OF THE f.S.C.
TO SEAT PASSENGERS,
Issues Order to Interhorough
. and Atcaits Reply.
A scat for every passenger in subway
train? is the object aimed at In an order
issued yesterday . by the Public Service j
Commission ; to. the -lnterborouKh. The. com
pany has five days in which to signify its
acceptance of the order, and while General
Manager Frank Hedley was. not at his of
fice yesterday, it was stated that the com
pany would do its best to obey the order,
which' goes into effect on February 25.
Another order issued by the commission
provided for an investigation into the ser
vice on the Interboroiigh's elevated lines in
Manhattan and The Bronx. The inquiry. 1
which will begin on February 2\ at 2:30
p. in., will be similar to that Into the
subway service, and will be conducted by
Chairman YVillcox and Commissioner Eustls,
who presided over the inquiry into the sub-.,
way service.
The order for the improvement of the
subway service provides for the maximum
service of which ihe subway Is capable
during the rush hours. Mr. BCedley, at the
hearing some days ago. testified that the
maximnni service had never been main
tained, except during periods like Jie Hud-
Bon-Fulton celebration.
Daring the non-rush hours the company
is authorized to reduce the number >>f
trains, provided that enough cars are run
to irhe every passenger a seat. The order
to run trains at two-minute intervals dur
ing the busy hours and ;it three-minute in
tervalfl during; the balance of the day is
made to apply to the loe;.l trains as well
35 to »he expresses. Half-hour periods are.
provided in which the company may put
on additional cars when this is found neces
sary to accommodate passengers at some
•■articulii points. This form ot order la
adopted In preference to one fixing a speci-
Hed number of .rains, as it affords^ greater
elasticity.
It frequently happen? that a sudden
change in the weather causes a marked
increase in the number •>! passengers re
sorting to the subway; or that some event
r.»ay brine an unusual number of passen
gers, to one station at an unexpected hour.
It would be manifestly impossible lor the
company to foresee all such occurrences,
and the commission, therefore, worded the
order in such a way that it might be ap
pl:ed to changing conditions. The text of
Lhe order is as follows:
Ordered: 1. That the Inter borough Rapid
Transit Company provide service daily on
all subway express and local tracks, by
operating subway trains in each direction
past every station BO as to furnish during
each half-hour period, beginning at th<:
even hour and halt-hour, cither (a) a num
ber of seats at least equal to the number
of passengers, or (b) the maximum number
of trains and ears that can be operated
with the subway cars now and hereafter
owned and equipped.
2. That the Interval of time between all
subway trains operated both on express
and oil local tracks southbound past %th
street shall daily, except on Sundays and
holidays, be as follows:
(a) Not more than a two-minute interval
between trains from 6:11 a. m. to 8:30 p. ni.
(b) Not more than a three-minute interval
between trains from 8:30 p. m. to 12::19 a. m.
Further ordered: That this order shall
take effect on February 26. 11*10. and remain
in force until modified or revoked.
Further ordered: That within five days
after service upon it of a copy of this
order said Interborough Rapid Transit
Company notify the Public Service Com
mission for the Ist District whether the
terms of said order are accepted and will
be obeyed.
The investigation into the elevated ser
vice was foreshadowed during the subway
investigation. Chairman Willcox asked
General Manager Hedley some questions
With rocard to tho elevated service. The
Interborough official remarked, however,
thai the investigation then under way was
with regard to the subway service only,
and lie was r< t prepared to co into the
elevated service. The commission has
therefore provided for a new series of hear
ings to investigate the various complaints
with regard to the running of the elevated
lines.
A statement submitted at the last subway
hearing showed that while the number of
;.ass<-ngers carried on the elevated roadfl
had increased from 2.*7.796,7ri4 In IWS to 27«,
2TA196 in 190?, or 7 per cent, the number of
cars had increased only A per cent, from
1,552 In 19<~C> to 1.o!>l last year.
As a beginning of the Improvements on
the elevated the commission yesterday is
sued two order?, one for the extension of
the canopy platform to the end of the
island platform of the City Hal! station of
the Tl.ird avenue lino <m or before May 1
and a second f r r the construction nr.d main
tenance of a new stairway at the 149 th
street station of the same line. Both or
ders were issued after Mr. Hedley had
agreed with Commissioner Kusiis as to the
need for those improvements. The new
stairway must be built by June l.
FOR WOMEN'S PRISOX.
Appeal To Be Made for Nctc
Federal Building.
The Woman's Forum is coin™ to write
another letter.' Mrs. J. Ellen Foster spoke
at yesterday's meeting of that organization,
at No. 23 West 44th street, on the need of
a federal prison for women, and after her
speech a committee was formed to agitate
the matter and to ask Attorney General
Wlckersham if such a. building could not be
erected.
Before the letter is sent to Mr. Wicker
sham it will be passed around to the vari
ous women's clubs of New York for their
Indorsement.
' If Mrs. Foster's advice is taken the Con
gressmen from New York will get letters
on the same subject. "Ask your Congress
men," said Mrs. Foster, "where the govern
ment keeps its women prisoners, and they'll
toll you they don't know. Then you can tell
your Congressmen that no provision la
made for these women— that they are
boarded out in various prisons in the states,
in most of which there Is absolutely no
work for them to do.
"If you could see some of these women,
as I have— big, animal women, shut up with
nothing to spend their animal energy on—
and if you knew some of. the abuses In
prisons to which -his staff of things gives
rise, you'd realize how pressing is the in
dustrial question in this matter of the gov
ernment's women prisoners. There ought
to be ■ prison for these women, with plenty
of land around it. where they could be
kept at work from 8 o'clock in the morning
until noon, and from 2 o'clock until night,
raising corn, potatoes and onions. Work
these, women bo hard that they will sleep
healthily at night, and the vices that are
made rampant in them by the present hot
house treatment will die out.
"Every woman In the dutches of the law
ought to be taught a trade, so that when
.she goes out into the world again she'll
have something to sell besides herself."

MEAT.
Trade at Washington Market Is still dull;
meat shows no sign of a break, except
perhaps a slight change for the worse.
For city" dressed fancy lamb the butchers
are paying ir>'/2 cents a pound. This really
means that they are paying lfiu cents, for
the reason that they pay this price for the
whole lamb, three and a half to four and a
half pounds' weight of which is taken by
the haslet (heart, lungs and liver), which is
sold by them for about 7 cents. High prices
are obtained for such parts as the racks,
which are at present 25 cents a pound and
upward, but other portions, such as the
chucks, only bring about 0 cents a pound.
so that in the present state of the market
there Is not much profit left for the butcher.
Beef Is still high, and pork has now taken
a similar turn.
FISH.
The late Inclement weather has crippled
the fish stalls. One dealer said that this

expenses, but philosophically remarked that

Eels are 18 to 20 cents a pound. Scallops

of each fish croquette. This dish they serve
for Sunday breakfast.

brush the openings with melted butter and
set the potatoes into the oven again to
brown.

dish from the chicken left over from din
