NEWMAN ERB
VICTIM OF POISON
TAKEN ON TRAIN
Railroad Head Swallows
Bichloride of Mercury
by Mistake.
HURRIED TO HOME,
CRITICALLY ILL
News of His Condition Causes
Sharp Decline in ?Minneapolis
and St. Louis Securities.
Bichloride of mercury tahlet?, car?
ried in a bottle that once contained
bicarbonate of ?oda and which still ;
bore the original label, may cause the
death of Newman Erb, railroad presi- ?
dent, copper magnate and financier,
who took two of the tablets Tuesday ?
afternoon.
At The Corners, Mr. Erb'B summer
home at Deal, N. J., it w^s said last
night that his condition was critical,
although he was not suffering much
pain. Members of the family declared
that the drug was tauen in error, Mr.
Erb believing that he was swallowing
bicarbonate of soda tablets to relieve
a s 11Kht headache and an attack of in- !
digestion.
The news of the serious illness of
Mr. Erb caused a sharp decline yes?
terday m the atoche and bonds of the
Minneapolis ?t St. Louis Railroad, of
which he is president. The improve?
ment in the condition of this road in
the last couple of years has been large?
ly due to the efforts of Mr. Erb. The
4 per cent bonds declined from 4*?1*. to
41. The common stock showed a loss
of 3 points for the day and the pre
ferred stock 6 points.
Besides being a director of a dozen
or more railroads, Mr. Erb also is
president of the Tennessee, Alabama
A Georgia Railroad and the British
Columbia Copper Company.
Drug Taken on Train.
On Monday Mr. Erb went to Phila
delphia. He returned to Deal that
night, and next morning went to his I
office, at 4L' Broadway. Returning, he
hoarded a train leaving the Pennsyl- !
vania Railroad Terminal at 2:30 p.m.,
for Elberon, which station is nearest
his home. At Newark he suffered an
attack of indigestion, and reached in
his grip for a bottle containing the bi?
carbonate of soda. Instead, he picked
up a similar container and swallowed
two of the tablets. He carried the
bichloride of mercury for treating a
cut on the leg, it was said.
Mr. Erb became ill almost at once.
The conductor had the station agent
at Matawan telephone to The Corners.
David W. Matthews, Mr. Erb's valet,
was the only occupant of the house.
Both tif the raiiroad man' automo?
biles were out with members of the
family, and the valet hurried to the
Elberon station and engaged a taxlcab.
"My God! I have swallowed bi?
chloride of mercury by mistake!" said
Mr. Erb, according to the valet, as he
was assisted from the train.
Matthews drove to the home of Dr.
Robert Offenbach. The physician was
on the golf links, but the servant went
to the kitchen, found several eggs and
beat up the white.-, as a "first aid."
Mr. Erb swallowed this. He was then
taken home.
lira. Jesse Mayer, a ?laughter of Mr.
Erb, who lives at The Corners with her
two children and husband, a New York
stockbroker, and Mrs. Irving M. Ditten
hoefer, another daughter, who has a
: summer place at West End, Long
BraiT , were summoned by telephone.
Dr. Edwin S. Sternberger soon arrived.
1 its Tuesday night Dr. Leo Kessler, of
Mount Sinai Hospital, an expert in the
treatment of bichloride of mercury
poisoning, was summoned. He remained
1 over night, returned to Manhattan in
the morning and went back to Mr.
Kib's bedaida last ?v. ning.
Prescribed for Himself.
Dr. Offenbach, the Erb family physi?
cian, said that Mr. Erb had been in
good henlth all summer. He had not
1 been called to attei ' him or.ee, he said,
i until Tuesday afternoon. He said Mr.
Erb's knowledge of medicine was eOB
siderable, and said that he delighted
in doctoring himself for minor ail
? ments. Dr. Offenbach said that Erb
received a cut on hi> leg recently, and
that he understood he was in the habit
of clean.-in? th.- wound with a solution
?.i bichloride of mercury.
Mr. Erb area vice president of ,ve
P?re Marquette system in IMS. He
built the St. Louis, Memphis 4 South?
western line, now part of the 'Prisco
ayatera. and is at |ri --nt a ?vector of
the Wisconsin Central. Ann Arbor,
i hattanooga Southern. Maniatione and
Lake Superior railroads, as well as of
the Empire Trust Company, the Cnited
I States Light and Car Heating Com?
pany and several other industrial and
] linnncial institutions.
Born in lNr?'>, Mr. Erb ..ceived his
educa?ion in the public schools of St.
i I.oins. Hefore his rise to power in the
railroad world he held ma.iv positions
| in widely different lines of business.
CREW HAS PIECES
OF TORPEDO THAT

Fragments Found on Deck

Was Blameless.
GERMANY'S CLAIM
CALLFaD "NONSENSE"
Second Officer Possesses Por?
tion of Projectile 5 Feet by
20 Inches, Says Official.
[Br CaM? to Th? Trlh.il.?> 1
London, Sept IS. Th<- Allan Line
claims to have evidence that the
rte:im??r Hesperian was sunk bv a sub
marine.
An official of the line said to-dav that
Second ?officer Richardson had in his
t,os.-C!;sion a piece of torpedo, five feet
broad, twenty inches long and half an
inch thick.
<Mh?rr nfmher.? of the crew, this of?
ficer added, had smaller pieces of the
torpedo which thev picked up on the
top deck after the liner had been hit i
ly it.
"Nonsense." was his term for the I
German assertion that the Hesperiar j
was sunk by a mine.
Reilin, Sept. 1ft, In the German ;
government's exnlanation of the Hes?
perian case "Germania" sees the way ,
made clear for "President Wilson's ?
ultimate position regarding the Ger- |
man note concerning iustification for I
the sinking of the Arabic."
The newspap-r ??celares thi* the
British press must give up it? hopes of
serious differences between Berlin and
Waahinrton. It praises President Wil?
son for having refused to be influet.ced
1 v British reports of a new menace ;,.
Gennau-Amertcan relations, which had
juat been guided into a more peaceful
channel, and add? :
"The President's cool ?elf-contain?
ment is now justified. The British tis?
sue of lies is at last torn to pieces,
and if anything remains of tie entir?
question of responsibility for the mis?
fortune it probably will rest immedi?
ately, as we suspected, on one of Brit?
ain's excellent anchored mine?."

If Salt Schooner Doesn't Hurry Phila?

[Br T-li-gM-ih to Th? Trlb'r ' 1
Philadelphia, Sept. 15.-If the wurm
weather continues and a little schoon
1 er, which, according to late reports, is
somewhere ofT the Delaware f'apes,
f.uls to arrive in a few days this city
may experience an ice cream famine.
The schooner is the four-masted
Clara E. Randall, from Turk'? Island,
with 1,500 tons of rock salt, and was
due here twelve days ago. She was
spoken two days ago off Cape Hatteras.
Ice cream manufacturers have been
working overtime, and salt dealers have
been unable to supply the demand. The
consignees have offered a premium to
the tug that reaches her first and
brings her to port. Eight or nine ves
; sels are on the watch for the schooner.

Politics at the Bottom
of All Wilson's Trouble
Trail of the American Politician Runs All Through
the German Incident, and Has Bedevilled
It at Every Turn.
By FRANK H. SIMONDS.
Washington. Sept. 16.?Above and beyond all else there is one impres?
sion that statuts out as a result of a brief survey of the German difficulty
from the Washington standpoint, and that is that domestic rather than
foreign politics lies at the bottom of the trouble. We are in a dispute with
Germany which may end in war because our foreign policy has been dom?
inate?! by our domestic politics. The trail of the politician runs all through
the (ierman incident and has bedevilled it at every turn.
At the outset of everything we dispatched a violent note to Germany,
a note which was only justifiable if it meant that we were ready to fight
for international law and neutral rights. We talked to Germany as Mr.
Roosevelt talked to Morocco in his "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead" mes?
sage. But he sent his note to Morocco, a nation without army, fleet or
power of harm. We sent ours to the victorious German Empire.
It wouli have been an admirable thing politically if this "ringing"
r.ote had brought German surrender. Then a vigorous foreign policy, a
splendid stand for American right3 and dignity, would have been an in?
spiration to every Democratic campaign orator next year. But there
never was any notion of what might happen if Germany didn't surrender.
We had talked in the spirit of 177??, but when it came to action it was the
necessities of 1916 that were considered.
Beset by Politicians.
For, once Mr. Wilson had sent his "strict accountability" note, the
political horde descended upon him. From every corner of the land the
politicians, spurred by the German propagandists, began to flock to Wash?
ington. They were in full cry when the Lusitania murder brought the
, whole question of national honor to a direct issue.
The first point at which the supremacy of the politician is manifest
' !? after the Lusitania assassination. Then Mr. Wilson was told by all the
politicians that to get into war was to lose the next Presidential election;
! to keep the country out was to insure Democratic victory.
This is the clew and the explanation to all the turning, twisting, wab?
bling that occurred between the Lusitania and the Arabic. This is why
there was no vigorous stand, but a succession of notes. The notes were
the resort of the administration, which was not prepared to defend the
position it had taken by arms and could not abandon it without personal
and national humiliation.
The administration continued to talk to Germany bravely, but Mr.
Bryan was busy informing Dr. Dumba that the words were for home con- !
gumption only. Germany and Austria were apprised thus that there was
no intention of making good the words. The Middle Western electorate.
:. the pro-German propagandists, the timorous Democratic politicians, all
were assured that there was no intention on the part of the administra?
tion to get na into war.
Peace at Any Price.
Peace at any price was the cry of the Democratic politician?; peace
at any price was the natural thing that Germany expected from the ad?
ministration. The politicians and the Germans alike believed that the
words of the several notes meant nothing, and they had the assurance of
the Secretary of State to this effect.
The "strict accountability" note had been intended to coerce Germany
and thrill the United States. It was intended as an expression of patriot?
ism but it was believed to be safe patriotism, because no thought of Ger?
man hostile action existed save among a small minority of the administra
^ The message did not frighten Germany. !t may have thrilled the
FaPt hut it gave the Middle West and the pro-Germans the signal for ac?
tion which put the Democratic politicians in a panic and resulted in all
the hesitation, indecision, lack of determination which mark the course of
the administration from the Lusitania to the Arabic.
National honor had been involved by the first note to Germany, but

Paris, Sept. 15. The Ministry of

to deal with German submarine?. The
statement was prompted by the ?ink?
ing of several steamships off the
French coast in the last few days. The
ministry states that there is no reason
for alarm.
"All necessary precautions were
taken long ago against the aggression
of German submarines," the govern?

London, ?Sept. 15.?Great Britain's
war credit was increased to-day to
$ti,310,000,000. Three million men
are under arms. The enormous cred?
it which Parliament voted nt the re?
quest of Premier Asquith will suffice,
he declared, until the middle of No?
vember.
While the nation, through its
House of Commons, was responding
to the Premier's pica, Karl Kitch?
ener, military sphinx, opened his lips
in the House of Lords.
"The Germans appear almost to
have shot their bolt," he said.
He reviewed the campaigns on
the various fronts, paying high trib?
ute to Russian generalship. Some
saw hints of conscription in his ad?
dress.
The growing expenditures for the
war were emphasized by the Pre?
mier. He said the average daily
cost from April 1 to the end of June
was -?2,700,000 ($13,500,000); from
.July 1 to 17, ?3,000,000; from July
18 to September 11, ?3,500,000. Thus
? the total for this period in round fig
?urea is ?500,000,000. There has
been repaid ?50,000,000 to the Bank
of England, ?30,000,000 has been
lent to foreign governments and
?28,000,000 to the Dominions.
Loan to Last I'ntil .November.
Comparing actual expenditure? ?inc?
t'e laut vote of Credit with estimate?,
Mr. A*?(uith ?aid there had been ?ome
abnormal items, which in the public
interest could not be disclosed, but tha
House might take it that they were in?
curred in financing necessary opera?
tion?. Part of this amount was to ba
repaid in the course of a few month?
and the remainder represented ad?
vance? for future expenditure.
Mr. Asquith estimated that hence?
forth the weekly cross expenditure
would not exceed ?35.1100,000. It wat
his opinion that the new vote would
carry the country through to the third
week in November.
"These figures throw ?ome light In
many terms on the contribution we are
making to the war," the Premier con?
tinued. "I do not wish to ?ay even
, that we are doing all we can. all we
' ought, but a? attempts are con?tantly
being made with whatever intention,
but with the most mischievous effect -
to belittle and discourage our effort?,
I give some comparison! between peace,
and war ticures.
"Since the outbreak of the war, it
will be found, an aggregate of not far
short of three millions has enlisted in
the army and navy. Recruiting, on
the whole, has kept up well, but, I re?
gret to say, in the last few weeks It
has been falling off."
Over (?00,000 in War Factories.
Regarding the work of the Muni?
tions Department, the Premier said all
that was now necessary to complet?
this great and necessary task was an
adequate supply of labor, unskilled
quite as much as skilled. There was
no tield wherein women could do more
useful work. The Minister of Muni?
tions had established twenty shell fac?
tories, and eighteen more were In
course of construction. In all, 715
controlled establishments were under
the department. In these factories,
he said, ?00,000 workmen were now
?%iploved, and the country had vastly
exceeded any standard dreamed of be?
fore the war.
Reviewing the military situation,
Mr. Asquith stated that in France and
Flanders the position of the British
troops had been strengthened every?
where by large reinforcements at men
and munitions, and that there had
been a considerable extension of lines
taken over from the French.
In the Dardanelles, he continued.
the British had made substantial
gains, though they had not succeeded
m dislodging the Turk? from the crest
of the hills. The Briti?h now held a
front of more than twelve miles.
In the east, Mr. Asquith said, the
Russian army remained unbroken. He
asserted that the superiority of the
Germans was only in artillery and that
their objective was still far out of
reach.
"They succeeded in forcing back the
line of our gallant ally and taking sev?
eral fortresses," said the Premier, "but
all accounts show that the Russian re
tre-it i? being conduite.I in masterly
faafeHen and that the Ru.iMan army u
