MAY GIVE OP Oil FUEL'
Accident to North Dakota Will
Be Studied Carefully.
VICTIMS WERE DROWNED?
Flooding- Saved the Ship —
tenant Commander Not In
jured, as Reported.
:i>. -■— . Th« Tribune Uurrau]
Washington. Sept. 9.— The accident to the
battleship North Dakota may have an im
portant bearing on the attitude of the
Navy Department toward the use of oil
fuel for naval ships, as it la comparatively
■■ innovation with the American navy.
Only the meat recently constructed ships, ;
thf North Dakota and the Delaware, of the
battleship class, and several torpedo boat
destroyers, are equipped with oil burning
apraratus. There have been accidents with
oil I .re, but none, BO far as <an be ascer- |
tamed, plmilar to the one which occurred
on the North Dakota. It is not likely that
ordinary fuel oil would explode, Kor this
nnnanj engineering officers are disinclined
to express an opinion until more details
regarding the accident are received at the
department.
On April 2 of this year a boiler exploded
on the crulFer Maryland, off Monterey Bay,
ami . killing one man and Injuring several.
Last February a boiler tube in the de
stroyer Hopkins exploded in San Diego
Bay, killing two and badly maiming live
men. In the case of the Hopkins, it was :
freely charged that the trouble -was due to
•■■.a and bitter feeling between factions
at the Mare Island Navy Yard, where
thortly before that time boiler tubes in one
of the ships -were discovered to have been
Fluffed with trash. The North Dakota was
built by the For© River Shipbuilding Com
pany, but the work was done under the
close inspection of Navy Department of
ficials.
' -..a.r Admiral Bchroeder reported to-day
that the injured were all expected to re
cover, there having been no change in their
condition. He added to the list announced
yesterday the name of W. J. McCauley,
whose next of kin is Mary McNulty, of
roal Pit avenue, Danhuiy. Conn. The
Navy Department stated that the name of
Lieutenant Commander Orin G. Murfin,
published in some lists of injured, was ob
tained through error. Murfin was not hurt,
according to the official reports, the total
uumbtr of the injured being nine.
1 In a dispatch to the Navy Department
♦n-day Admiral Schroeder pave no further
information, having been unable to find
any new evidence that would lead to an
Otatioa of the cause. Officials of the
Navy Department admit that they are non
plusse-d, and none was willing even to ad
vance a theory as to the immediate cause
of the accident.
It was stated here that the temporary
loss of four of her fourteen boilers is the
principal damage sustained by the North :
Dakota.
Newport News. Va.. Sept. 9.— According
to men landing at Old Point from the bat
tleships, the three men who met depth
aboard the North Dakota yesterday were
rsot killed by the explosion of oil, as at
fir.=t reported, but were drowned when fire
room No. | -was flood. to prevent the
spread of the flames and the explosion of
the rr:ac-azln*» located Just over the fire.
The bodies were recovered when the com
•■ifrt was pumped out.
The board of inquiry, appointed after the
accident yesterday by Rear Admiral Beaton
Prhroeder, commander m chief of the At
lantic fleet, this morning began its In
vestigation of the disaster. Its report will
"> *- forwarded through the regular official
channels to th* Navy Department.
' Officers of the North Dakota and of the
'„• generally are exceedingly reticent
about the accident Bad Admiral Fchroeder
-will not talk In advance of the investiga
tion, but it is the belief of the men on the
phip that the three men who are- dead v.---:*
drowned in the flooding of the fireroom; It
1? .... ....... were helpless, perhaps
■nr.conscious, tram their bums before the
Crushing water drowned them.
Th«=re f^es no doubt that the Immedi
-•• flooding of the fireroom was the only
means of averting the total destruction
nt the great ship and the annihilation of
Its hundreds of men. The proximity of the
"■. to a magazine stored with powerful
explosives made imperative the instan
tan"O-j<: extinguishment of the flames.
The board of ina.uiry consists of Captain
rono and Lieutenant Commander Price, of
the Delaware, and Lieutenant Commander
Proctor, of th«» Connecticut.
Heroism Shown by Crew.
That the fatalities were sn Pew is due to
fv, o heroism of many of the crew, who. it
is mid. fought ihejr way Into the flames to
drac out their injured shipmates.
The. North Pak~.ta is still in Hampton
Heads, where the ship is being cleaned and
Ictaurcd following yesterday's fire and ex
ptoi> - Th«» water In the • reroom, the
.T.r>r,f.lv,s of which is believed to have cost
<ihr*-e Jives in the saving of several hundred
others, has been pumped out. The Fhip
probably will 1«" detached from the fleet
and ordered to the Norfolk Navy Yard for
repairs.

SEE REFORM DISREGARDED
Persons Interested in Children's
Court Find Judges Rotating.
SAY IT VOIDS LAWS INTENT
Point Out Suggestions of Page
Investigating Committee for
Longer Assignments.
Many persona Interested in the reform ° r
the inferior courts ba\e expressed regret
recently on account of the assignment of
-■ gtio, B of Special Sessions to the Chil
dren's court for short terms. They assert
tl at long< r ■" ■ loda appear to be the intent
r, ; - the la* passed subsequent to the inves
tigation of the Infe lor courts by the Page
legislative commission. The commission
•.: Its final report that the old
order ■ • • - where the justices were
assigned to sit in the Children's court for
only on or two months at a time, did not
allow them to «>• •■• -■ proper supervision
over the young offea era and follow the
,;is.- of a child from the beginning until i'.s
linal disposition, as should be done. A re
form In this respect was recommended and
\ in the new law governing
I ' s.
Say Old System Continues.
I- the Manhattan courts, Isaac Franklin
Russell, who was appointed chief justice
of the reorganized Court of Special Ses
sions by Mayor Gaynor, has evidently dis
regarded the intent of the law, in the opin
ion of those who have followed the de
velopment of the new regime, by continu
ing the system of monthly rotation and
assigning mx different judges to the Chil
dren's Court within a total period of a
year. Such a system of short terms is
generally recognized as hampering the ef
fective administration of these courts, and
, is exceptional in juvenile court practice.
A child on probation, it is argued, should
as a general rule be kept under observa
tion for several months. The old system,
whereby justices sat in the Children's
Court for a month or two, was charac
terized by the Page commission as "a rad
ical defect which needs remedying."
An extract from the iinal report of the
Page commission in regard to this matter
reads:
It has been urged that the judge of the
Children's Court should devote all his time
to that work and that a limited number of
judges, selected for a completely separate
court, would more efficiently carry on tills
important work.
The commission is in entire sympathy
with the proposition that the Children's
Court requires something more than brief
or temporary sittings of a judge.
Judges Should Follow Cases.
The judge sitting at the Children's Court
should, so far as practical follow the
case of a child from the beginning until its
final disposition. Under the present system '
the justices in the Ist Division sit for a'
term of one month only twice each year,
and in the 3d Division for a term of
two months only once in each year, unless
by voluntary arrangement they exchange
their assignments.
This is a radical defect which needs rem- ;
edying; for the commission is of the opinion |
that it is vital to the successful administra- [
tion of this work that the justice before i
whom the child is originally brought shall i
follow the course of that child through all i
the stages, which en<i either in permitting j
tl.e child finally to go at large or in com- j
mitting the child to a reformatory institu
tion. The justice before whom the child
originally con is familiar with the details \
of the case, has presumably caused to be
investigated every fact or circumstance
throwing light upon the child's conduct, j
history and surroundings, has formed his i
own e#*Jmate of the child and his theory
Of what can be done with it. and he should j
Dow that case in every judicial detail to
completion.
Our observation has shown us that there
are certain of the justices of the two di
visions of this court who are peculiarly
adapted for the work of children's courts,
who have the patience and enthusiasm
which are so necessary to successful ac
complishment, and who would be glad to
devote themselves for long periods of time
to this particular branch of work. On the
other hand, other justices, fully as capable
in other directions, are not by tempera
ment fitted to deal so well with the chil
dren.
Needs Knowledge cf Institutions.
More than this, a justice passing on the
I iid 1 illy acquaint him
self with ; ; • character and conditions <•'
. . . ;.. which he must commit

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, If>lo.
PROMINENT ITGFRKS IX LEGISLATIVE PROHE HEARING.
JAMES V. CUNNINGHAM.
Of the firm of Elllngwood A Cunningham
who will be a witness.
SENATOR VICTOR M. ALLEN.
Member of committee conducting investigation
GOOD-SELL MADE $24,000
Contfaraed from fir>.t paX«".
$64 78. and dosed the account The
only stock deal after that was the pur
chase on July 7, I!in4. of four hundred
.shares of Union Pacific for $56,650 and
one hundred shares for $9,06250. <»n
July 18 he sold the Union P:u-ific for
$48,562 50— the entire transaction having
been conducted without margin — and
drew out his profit, SL\«J73 46, closing his
account a month later.
After Judge Bruce had established
these facts he called Goodsell to the
stand. Goodsell came— a stocky, grizzled
man, with the profile of a hawk and few
words. A shake of the head or an ex
pressive wave of an active left hand
served for whole phrases. Ife told
briel of his legislative experience and
admitted that he had known Tracy Rog
ers well for many years. Then Judge
Bruce asked him if he cared to explain
to the committee the account he had
maintained with Elllngwood & Cunning
ham.
"I've no explanation to • make," he
murmured. "I'll answer any questions
t<> the best of my ability." He didn't
say anything about campaign contribu
tions, as did Bedell the day before.
Judge Bruce wanted to know first if
Tracy Rogers l;a<J introduced Goodsell to
Ellingwood <£ Cunningham. Goodsell
couldn't remember it; he thought some
ator had. The more Judg^ Urucp
asked about Rogers the surer Goodsell
was that he didn't open his ucvount
through Rogers, even when Judge Bruce
;-, ; : that the "customers' book" of the
firm said he had been introduced th^r*
by Rogers
Goodsell also couldn't remember just
how he came to open his account with
out margin. He knew it was opened
after adjournment of the Legislature-,
se he told Mr. Cunningham lie
didn't want to buy until the Legislature
quit work. He remembered the Fifth
avenue stage bill when Judge Bruce
a :..,! him about it. He got it from Sen
ator Coggeshall, he Bald. He <li>>n't
know where Coggeshall K<>t it. or why
he didn't Introduce it himself. It was
quite customary for one Senator t<> In
. . bills Cor another, he said.
I!.- didn't know just why Coggeshall,
an upstate Senator, should have taken
such an interest in a New York Citj
transit bill. He himself, I"- said, knew
sn-hat the bill did. and that it applied
only to New York, y.-t he didn't consider
it Improper for him, :m upstate man, to
handle it. Nobody ever spoke to him
about ;t.; t. and he didn't think much
■
Resents Comments on "Ramdity."
Goodsell resented Judge Brace's com
... . r»t on the "rapidity" with which the
hill passed both houses. The old poli
tician said it was introduced near the
, „,l of tl •• Bession, when, as Judge.
Bruce knew well, :*H bills moved rapidly
if they in..-. ( d M all.
"Shouldn't this bill, making such Im
portant chan es In the powers of this
company :lll<l affecting so greatly the
traction situation In New York City,
have been discuss* d in committee and
thrashed out in committee of the
whole?" queried the Investigator
."Well, the city has Its counsel at Al
bany, and the Citizens Union lias Its."
retorted Good sell. "If there was to be
any protest It would have come from
thriii. and I didn't hear any. ] think
there wasn't a vote against the bill."
Goodsell didn't recall any opposition
to' the bill aft< i 11 • ■■'•'■ passed and before
t he ... signed it. ii. never heard,
he said, that newspaper! denounce*! It.
Neither did be recall, or seem ever to

Bache Threatened with Arrest.
Monday at noon is the time limit set
by District Attorney Whitman within
which Leopold H. Bache, head of the
firm of J. S. Bache & Co., must produce
the books of the firm required by the
legislative committee.
"If Mr. Bache has not brought the
books before the committee by that
time," said Mr. Whitman last night, "I
will order his arrest for violation of Sec
tion 1,330 of the penal law."
The section referred to defines as a
misdemeanor the refusal of any person
to "produce upon reasonable notice any
material and proper books, papers or
documents in his possession or under his
control" when directed to do so by a
legislative committee authorized to sum
mon witnesses.
Although the case could be tried out in
a magistrate's court, it Is probable that
should Mr. Bache persist in his refusal
to comply with the committee's sub
poena the matter will be presented to
the grand jury and an indictment re
ported.
"it Is not a question of contempt, but
of violating a penal .statute." said Mr.
Whitman. "I think that Judge Bruce
is right in his contention and is en
tirely within the law. Objections as to
the materiality of evidence may be made
at the titae that it is offered. But th^
committee is entitled to the physical
possession of the books."
Mr. Baches refusal is based upon his
claim that the subpoena is not suffi
ciently specific, requiring the production
of "ledgers of the firm covering trans
actions from January 1, 1899, to date,
and such other documents <>r papers ad
may be required in the Investigation.**
The ultimatum was sent !<• Wollman
& Wollman, of No. 20 Broad street.
counsel for Mi-. Bache, late yesterday
afternoon by District Attorney Whit
man, alter he had conferred with M-
Linn Bruce and Lsidor Kresel, counsel
for the committee, and with Edward S.
Seidman, of the law firm.
Later in the d;<y the firm gave out a
statement In which its members ex
pressed the belief "that there is not the
slightest chance of the subpoena being
sustained by the courts." At th<- same
time they .said they were ready to pro
duce any specific accounts if ordered to
do so by tii-- committee.
OLCOTT OBJECTS TO NAMES
Use Not Authorized, He Says;
Denial from Bennett.
Congressman Olcott declared yesterday
that Assemblyman Bennett, who Is fighting
to retain the Republican leadership of the
15th Assembly District, was sending- out a
circular advocating his ticket which did not
:i. piirately represent the views of some of
those whose names were appended to It.
The names printed at the end of the
campaign document, which praises Ben
nett's record and attacks that of Congress
man Olcott, art- as follows: "William Harris

Lucius M. Stanton, Leßoy I>. Hall, Joseph
<; Fenster, Benjamin F. Strauss, Robert
H. Tucker and I. H. Simpson.
Congressman Olcott said Mr. Simpson told
him he had not signed the circular, and in
tended to vote the Olcott ticket. He also
asserted that ex-Senator Saxe. Mr. Eggers,
Mr. I [awes and Mr. Williamson bad in
formed him that they had simply intended
to — ii In favor of retaining Mr. Bennett
as a leader, and that they did not sub
scribe to the attack upon Mr. Olcott, and
were In favor of bis r< nomination.
To .'ill of which Assemblyman Bennett
replies: "All those whoso names were at
tached to the circular wore communicated
with, and their names were used with
authority."

believe that the Mayor should giv«* some
sort of Intimation that he would accept th«»
nomination if it was tendered to him
The upstate leaden declared that for two
days they bad been trying to find out just
what the attitude of the Mayor was or
might be, but without success. Friends of
the Mayor have declared in a somewhat
hazy way that they are sure the Mayor
would run for Governor if the nomination
could be assured to him In a practically
unanimous manner. But when It came to
any direct statement these friends would
not give it
In the face of the uncertainty regarding
the willingness of the Mayor to relinquish
his duties as chief executive of this city
in order to become the standard bearer of
the state organization, the booms of othpr
candidates grew in strength. Friends of
Coriizres.smaii James B, Havens said they
would not be willing to cease their activi
ties in his behalf unless they could have
some definite assurance that there was an
overwhelming sentiment for the nomination
of Mayor Gaynor and that he would yield
to such sentiment.
Havens for Second Place.
Those who have been >iuiotly fostering
the Gaynox boom— and those who have been
most active in it have done so apparently
without any authority from him — trie-! to
get the friends of Mr. Havens to say yes
terday that he would accept the nomination
for l/ieutenant Governor on a tl'-ket with
Mayor Gaynor. To this proposition the
Havens men would give no definite answer.
There was an interesting story in circu
lation yesterday that the men who will con
trol the Rochester convention had fixed if
all up to nominate Mayor Gaynor, with the
understanding that he could later with
draw and the committee on vacancies
would fill Ids place with Mr. Havens or
Bdward M. Shepard. The leaders who were
asked about the story expressed surprise
and declared that such a thing could not
be thought of.
'"That might b« well enough for Mayor
Gaynor. It would give him much presti?*.
Bnt how about the man selected to take
the ; lace of the regular nominee at the
eleventh hour? I doubt very much whether
either Mr. Havens or Mr. Shepard would
carp to accept the head of the ticket under
such circumstances," said one man.
Certain radicals in the organization seeseed
to he much perturbed yesterday over what
they declared was a plan on the part of
certain Interests to secure the nomination
of Mr. Shepard.
"He is altogether too close to corporate
interests," way the way one of them put it.
•I have reasons to believe that certain
members of the Democratic League confi
dently expect to secure his nomination,
however. If they do you can rely on it
there will be a third ticket. I would head v
myself if necessary."
Dix Has No Word from Gaynor.
Chairman Dix was asked yesterday
whether lie had received the slightest inti
mation, either directly or indirectly, that
Mayor Gaynor would or would not accept
the nomination if there seemed a strong de
mand to have him do so.
"No; I have no Information on that score
at all," was his reply.
When he was asked to express his view?
on such a nomination, he replied that h*»
had been most careful not to express any
preference for any one of the many candi
dates.
"There are a great many," «aid th*»
"hairman. "and the one who seems to lead
In sentiment depends upon the section of
the state in which you happen to inquire.
It la not going to be a walkover for any
candidate. It will be a free and open con
vention, where every dele Kate will have a
chance to support his choice."
Mr. Dix said he was much pleased with
the "harmony" conference and dinner. "The
sentiment was excellent." he said, '"and
thai Is what we are looking for. I thought
all of th<> speeches at the dinner were
strornr and had the risjht ring."
Chairman I>:x had no conference with
Charles K. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall, yesterday. lie returns to V'ashinKton,
his home county, to-day. On Mon lay he
will attend the county convention there
and on Tuesday will xo to Watertown.
After a visit to Ogdensburg chairman Dix
will work smith through the Hudson River
counties. Then he Will visit the organiza
tions out on Long Island, returning to the
city about September^?!.
