Twenty Central OfDce men navigated
pa-nlno launches up and down tho Hud
son llivir between Kingston and Hudson
jotcrday afternoon, putting to shore
whenever they saw one or tho big Ice
hmi--. They were after evidence for
Commissioner Waldo.
Soon nftor the Mayor requested the
Commissioner to find out why It was that
to tunny small dealers were complaining
Hint they couldn't get Ice from the Knick
erbocker company and the other big con
cerns CommiMioner Waldo picked a
uniad of men who didn't look too much
like detectives and ordered them to visit
nil the Hudson River ice houses, find out
how much ice the companies actually
have In reserve and report to him speedily.
It will lie up to them to find out if the
Ice companies have been frank with the
police investigators. President Wesley
M. Oler of the Knickerbocker has told
th' Commisloner that the city would
he as badly off the next time a period of
burning weather came along as it was
during the last spell for the reason that
the Ice companies can't get enough
skilled men to handle the supply between
the storehouses and this city. One of
ill" purposes of the detectives' ice hunt
i to pee if there are enough workmen to
shunt blocks of loo Into the barges and
ct them down here. The Commissioner
has suggested to Mr. Oler that any time he
needs laborers it ought not to be hard to
cot them in the living places of the unem
ployed. Hut tho most important part of the up
river Mouthing will be to estimate the
uuantity of ice on hand now. From
various source the Commissioner has
heard that the Knickerbocker and its
subsidiary concerns make a practice of
linishing the year with a big lot of ice and
that the purpose of keeping so much in
reserve is to limit the distribution in order
to gel better prices. Independent dealers
have paid that there Is always enough Ice
up river but that somehow the price to
them goes up with the temperature. The
detectives are expected to make their
teport to the Commissioner to-day and
i lie Commissioner will forward a report
to the Mayor and to District Attorney
Whitman.
The report will include 478 statements
I torn small dealers and experiences col
lected by a squad of seventy-five men
ent out by the Commissioner for the
purpose of llnding out if the big supply
ing concerns had been oppressing them
in the last few weeks. Tho stories picked
up by the Ice wpiud conflicted In many
eases. Some of the small dealers pro
fessed to be satirised with their dealings
with the Knickerbocker. Others made
the direct charge that they had been com
pelled to pay higher prices since July
9 and that although they saw boatloads
of ico in home rases a supply was refused
One detectivp saw Joseph Nardo, a
dealer of 312 East Korty-nlntli street
Nardo said he applied at the Independent
loo Company at the foot of Kast Thlrty
mth street on July 13 and was told that
i here was no ice on the boat. Nardo
aw a lot of ice at the time. Then he went
i the Knickerbocker depot at the foot
f Kast Thirty-fifth street. The Knicker
oeker people turned him down, saying
liey had no ice to peddle out
The boats," said Nardo, "contained a
-arj;" quantity of Ice "
Another detective interviewed l.tligi

. Another Charge -NrierHeenlmltrtril.
The fact that the Federal Grand Jury is
still investigating the old "sleeper trunk
mystery" was dlsolnsod yesterday when
William C Dreler, secretaryof tho Iilchteti
steln Millinery Company, was brought
before Judge Hand of the United States
District Court ror contempt.
When the Grand Jury was conducting
a similar Investigation moro than a year
ago Dreler was subpoenaed to produce
tho books of the Mchtensteiti company.
He failed to produce tho books on the
constitutional ground that to do so would
tend to incriminate him. The matter
was eventually takon to the Supremo
Court nt Washington and Dreler was
directed to produce the books, which he
did recently. Then the Grand Jury
subpoenaed him to appear to explain th
entries. Dreier again refused on the
ground that he had previously advanced.
W. Wickhntn Smith. Dreier's counsel, '
was not awaro of his client's predicament ,
until about fifteen inlnutps beforo Mr
Dreier was taken before Judge Hand lor
contempt in refusing to obey the court's
Huhpnrna. He hastened to the Federal
nulldlng, arriving just in time to head off
tho proceedings ami get uu adjournment
to next Wednesday
The District Attornev did not make
an actual presentment for contempt
against Dreier, but .Mr. .Smith attributes
the failure to do ho to his own timely
arrival on the scene The presentment
will bo made, it is understood, when the
case comes up on Wednesday.
Mr. Smith said also that the District
Attorney's office had n pardon signed
by President Taft all ready to give Dreier
If he had testified satisfuctnrliy concern
ing the entries. Dreier has not been con
victed of any Federal crime or even
Indicted so far as could be learned. Mr
'Smith confessed he
could not under
stand how under the circumstances a
pardon could be operative.
At Mr. Wise's oflleo no one would
deny' that such a ptrdon was at liund.
Assistant United States Attorney Dorr
said that the President could Issue a
pardon even ir the person to be pardoned
had no been convicted of it crime.
Kvidence of the commission of u crime is
sufficient to warrant tho issuance or a
pardon, though the proposed beneficiary
can accept or reject it. He railed atten
tion to "ex parte (iai land," where the
majority opinion of the Supreme Court
says:
The pouer of pardon roufeired hv the

squarely by th" pilot of th engine and
carried n block, but Dr and Mrs. Doremus
bed jumped from their seats in tho car
just before the smash came.
Dr. Doremus was on his way to F.ust
Orange from Arlington lo attend a con

street at fair speed when tho physician
noticed that the going was very rough

down to a turtle's pate
Just ns tho inatiiino was squarely on

distance away loomed tho headlight of
the oncoming passenger train. W ithout
walling to open the doors or the motor
tho physician vaulted out of the car from

from tho other
A moment after each had scrambled
off the trrck tho locomotive crashed into

Wsut.N(iT0.v, July 14 It is the Inten
tion of Attorney-General Wlckersham to
investigate the National City Company
of New Yoik, (ho organization recently
formed by the directors of the National
City Hank for the purpose or holding the
stocks of other national banks which
liavo hitherto leeu held for that Institu
tion by Individuals connected with the
National City Hank. Apparently it Is the
intention of the Attotiiey-Getieral to look
closely Into this somewhat new idea of a
holding company.
The First Socnrlly Company, which
hears about the same relation to the
Flint National that, the National City
Company liears 'to the National City
Hank, will also 1h Included In the in
vestigation. The investigation will lie
for the pursiso of ascertaining whether
these companies will infringe upon the
Shi man ant l-t rust law
The Department of Justice does not
indicate in what way these holding com
iwnies might, violate the law, but it Is
known that Attorney-General Wicker
sham for some time has believed that the
Government ought to have exact informa
tion in regard to 'ho effect of the extensive
consolidations of bank interests that have

A subway tiuln ran loose without a
motormau for about ten seconds yester
day morning. The motormau had fallen
off and been killed. The nutomatic
emergency brake set when the man fell
off stopped the train within one hundred
and fifty feet without furthpr accident
The train had left the 191st street station
after the biggest rush or the morning, not
crowded. About Tour hundred feet from
the station the jolt of the emergency was
felt The motorman's cab was round
empty. Tho trainmen discovered his
IkmIv under the third car. Hoth legs had
been cut off and he had probably been
killed instantly
The efficiency or the automatic brake
on subway trains has not been frequently
demonstrated in this striking way, al
though in tests it has always been found
thorough. The visible part of it is a but
ton on top of the controller which the
mutorman constantly presses down while
the train Is moving. As soon as his hand
is released, purposely or through fainting
or weakness or death, the button rises and
Hie brakes arp set.
The motormau was William A. Stone
of 271 Forty-ninth street, Brooklyn A
liossible explanation of his death is that
lie had leaned from the side of the cab and
his head had been struck in passing a
signal post There was the mark of a
blow on the side of the dead man's head.
Stone leaves a widow and one child.

affection for the republic or Cuba. One
is now here and the other Is in the United

in diameter at the base, smashed and
twisted things juat below Sparrows Point

just before the lowering skies disgoricrd

dents or the Utile town huddled together
as they watched the whirling mass of
water sweeping down the river
The spout came without warning 11
formed about half a mile from shore and
increased Insize rapidly growing in width
us it ascended. Soon it attained its full
height. Seen from the shore it appealed
to be awav in the clouds.
By this time the alarm had been spread
throhgh the village and the inhabitants
despite the heavy downpour of rain rushed
out lo see the rare sight. They gathered
along the waterfront and on the pier.
Staring from Sparrows Point the spout
proceeded northward whipping the river
Into a seething foam and forming great
waves.
Driven by a strong wind the spout
swlrlPd up the river for nearly a mile
before it broke.
The great pillar of water stopped in its
course, tiolsed for a moment in the air
and toppled over, making a tremendous
splash which was heard far in shore.
The crush of the spout was followed
by a flash of lightning and a heavy down
xur of rain.

Internal Injuries and
Brain Concussion.
F.hib. Pa- July 14. Bud Mars, the avi
ator, 'was probably fatally hurt at a:sn
o'clock this afternoon when his famous
lied Devil biplane fell 100 feet outside the
aviation field hero he was giving flights
under tho auspices of the Erie Ditpalch.
With three fractured ribs on the left
sldo, Internal hurts and extensive body
bruises and lacerations Mars la now In
Hamot Hospital semi-conscious. The
physiolans say he is also suffering from
concussion of tho brain.
Mara'a leather aviation helmet saved
him from instant death. A piece of
Jagged steel projecting from the engine
of the biplane made a deep indentation
Into the padding of the headgear, but
failed to penetrate.
The accident was caused by the bi
plane hitting an air pocket. Mrs. Mars
was sitting in the grand stand and saw the
biplane fall. When the crowds saw that
Mara was losing control of his machine
II jumped to their feet and ran across
the field aud shouted words of encourage
ment.
'You'll get him excited by yelling at
him!" shouted Mrs. Mars, who was cooler
and moro collected than any of the more
than 3,000 present. The crowd fatted to
hear her, however. The police ran on to
the field and started to beat back the
crowds.
Despite the desperate battle he was
having a hundred feet above, Mars recog
nised that the crowd below was panic
stricken. He waved his hand, ns If
beckoning to the people to keep cool.
When the police had forced all the iieopls
back to near the grand stand Mrs. Mara
coolly walked out over the field and
watched her husband. There was not 11
sign of fear in her demeanor. For five
minute' the aviator fought desperately
trying to extricate his; biplane from the
treacherous air pocket, but suddenly the
machine dipped uboiit fifteen feet, then
turning on its right side began to fall
slowly".
It was plainly seen that Mais hnd not
lost his iiPrve. Wheu he saw that his
biplane was .falling he tried to light it
und guide it under a bundled or more
telegraph and telephone wires. As he
did so one of the planes collided with a
wire and the machine shot downward
like a bullet, nlighting on the ground
just outside the canvas wall or the avia
tion field, a mass of wreckage.
Three small boys unnoticed by the
police were standing on the outside of
the Held peering through a hole in the
canvas. The biplane fell directly on top
of them,' but not one got a scratch.
A moan went up from the crowd, then
there was a mad scramble to find out how
badly Mars had been hurt.
Mrs, Mars was rtie. first person to reach
her husband's side. A second later five
ullicials begun to lift up the wrecked
biplane to remove him. Il was nt first
thought he had been caught under the
machinery, but Mars was still sitting in
his seat, the steering wheel forced ngniust
his chest. He was conscious, but was
unable to speuk
"Is he aliveV" asked Mrs. M,irs with
great anxiety.
"He's not badly hint." replied a doctor,
who was trying to pry the steeiitig rod
aside so us to release tho injured aviator.
After considerable trouble Mars was
lifted from tho seat. He opened his eyes
and tried to say something, but could liot.
He was quickly carried a"rosH th field
and an ambulance from I lie Hamot llns.
pltal was summoned. Hy the tlnw il
arrived Mars had lapsed into a stale of
semi-consciousness, Mrs. Mars hurried
to the hospital nnd was still with her
husband late to-night
iThe physicians say that the internal
hurts sustained by Mars seem to be very
serious, Capt, ThoraM S. Haldwin. Mars's
partner In the flying business, was unii

hurry here, arriving probably to-morrow
morning, Baldwin was to have arrived
to-day to take part in the mep, but sent
a telegram saying ho would be (leluyed,
Mars and Baldwin and Miss Hlaiichi
Scott, the only woman aviator in Hie
country, were to be the fliers at the meet
to last three days. Mias Scott, like Rr.'d
win, was detained unexpectedly and could
not ooino to-day. Mars arrived this
morning. He came from Chicogo, wheio
he witnessed the fatal accident to Dan
Kraemer, the boy amateur aviator. His
acquaintances say that the sight of young
Kraemer meeting auch a horrible 'd-atli
unnerved Mars. One of his friends said:
"He was unnerved when he arrived here
this morning and did not sleep last night
on his journey here. He talked about
the young aviator's death and see mod to
think of nothing else."
I.ong before noon to-day crowds began
pouring into the big field to witness
the flights. Mara arrived at 2 o'clock
There was a strong wind from Lake
Krle. Mara walked about the field with
a look of uneasiness on his face, lie
remarked that the winds seemed treacher
ous, In Erie there are many aviation
enthusiasts, and they turned out to
witness the performance of the birdman.
Many of them advised Mars Chat the
wind was too strong to attempt a flight.
"Well, I can't disappoint this crowd
