COURT TAKES HOLD
TO CHECK MOLING
.Orders Sheriff Within the

Trial of Means.
REPRIMAND FROM BENCH

iy His Qnestions.
Cokcoiu), N. C, Dec 8. Clashes be
tween lawyers at the. trial of. Gaston B.
Means for the murder of MrsV Maude A.
Kiflr reaches audi" 'point to-da'y- that
the court ordered the Sheriff to remain
within the bar. ' ''.,.
The vlror with which Johir-T. Dooling,
Assistant District Attorney' of New Tork
ceunty, conducted the'crosaeaamlnatlon
of Means brought protests from -the de
fefidant'a lawyers art4,.Teprlmand'from
tha courL k
. At the start thla mortlng Judge; dine
had aaaumed an attitude ofJposltlve'nets
arid bad aaid. that, the rufee" for the "day
would be ''questlon-answer-ruling."' He
would aaaume responsibility' for the 'ex-
aminatlon.Tie.aald,. H told Mr. pooling
that discussion waa" not trt order,- It
was evidence that Judge cilnehad de
cided a, nrra stand .had. to be. taken to
prevent indefinite delaya 'by dashes be
tween counsel. '
The cross-examination brought out lit
tie of apecUl intereat during, the flrat
few hours, and the examination Itself
nil overshadowed In Interest by the
tenaeneaa of tha situation." Judge -cilne
stated that he was going to give his en
tlre personal attention to the examlna
non. Ostensibly sheriff Caldwell' con
stant presence was dealred to relieve. the.
Judge of the duty of keeping order and of
(nther matters that plight distract his at
tention from the examination.
Mean Tarns to JLaaffhter,
The tensity of the situation was some
what relieved by the sudden dlsplayof
humor on the part of Gaston B. Means,
which he seemed to hare acquired over
night. At one- time nls sense of humor
appeared to have got the better of his
judgment apd he laughed uproariously
at one of hist own replies to the court
while being cross-examined by Mr.
Dooling. It was while he was trying
to explain his action In going- to the
Northern , Trust Company of Chicago
with what purports to be- the second
will of James C. King and under the
terms of which Mrs. Maude A., King
would have Inherited several millions
when Mr. Dooling asked:'
"Weren't you told at the bank that
ou had 'been Imposed upon .and that
even If the will, waa not a forgery the
trust company held a release) signed by
Mr. King In which -she renounced all
lUlma to her late husband'a estate be
tause of a settlement made with her
for J 1,000?".
"I never aw such a release, did you?"
was' Means's reply as he guffawed. The
t'ross-cxamlnatlon waa suspended until
the wltncrs recovered.
Means - had such a corking good
time to-day that much of .-the bad
feeling. manifested yesterday against Mr.
Dooling disappeared long before the
morning session was well under way.
He found himself coddled and protected
by his watchful lawyers and by a seem
ing disinclination on the part of the pre
siding Judge to let Mr. Dooling go very
far in his efforts either to impeach the
witness or to fores denials of some of
Ms glib story told on direct examina
tion. The recurrent phrase "Objection
sustained" did much to hearten the de
fendant. It did not embarrass the New
York prosecutor, however, and the day
waa not all milk and honey for the
defence. ' '
Money From German Interests.
The defendant told of loans of 4',000
and 13,000 made by him to Mrs. King at
different times about the same period
during which, he was .receiving money
from the "German Interests.'
'Means testified that his wife paid
debts of his with ll'.OOO' bills four of
them at one time and. three at another
money which he got from "German In
terests" at the Manhattan Hotel, for ser
vhes he rendered them. Tressed for the
name of the man who paid him the
money. Means said his name was Heller.
"Were there not numerous explosions

William Cullen Morris, construction
engineer of the gas company, has 'been
tn 'charge of the experiments. He has
found that about 173 nubto feet of gas
will do the work of a gallon of gasolene
In running tha limouslnce, which weighs
4,100 pounds. Ordinarily 226 cubic feet
of gas would do the work of one gallon
of gasolene, , ,
The gas is held In a steel container

buildings which were affected by the
water overflow have large aiipplics of
dry goods In their cellars.
Sidewalk SstHf Open.
'The water main gave way at 1 o'clock
In- the afternoon. The break was her
alded by the sudden leap into the air of
a half dozen manhole covers, and a. few
minutes later the sidewalk at the north
west corner of' Fifth avenue -and Ninth
street opened serosa twenty feet of Its
'width and, a column of. water, four feet
high spouted in the air. Ninth street
slopes sharply to the west from Fifth
avenue, and within a quarter of an hour
water a half foot deep waa leaping the
length of the street and overflowing Into
basements and cellars. In the Hotel
Berkeley, the closest large building to the
point of the break, there was a foot of
water In the cellar within a few minutes
after the geyser of water began playing.
Policemen McCarron and Lang, who
we're on t raffle duty at tl(e crossing,
dashed toward the hotel basement when
they saw a cloud of steam issuing from
It, Indicating that the flood had put out
furnace fires, and that the steam boilers
might be in danger of bursting. Smash

Meantime other Vollo men were hurry

pee that no one else was caught In a
cellar and that all fires were drawn. In
the course of their Journey they waded
-through rushing water and could see
that waterby the ton was leaping Into
area ways and seeping through basement
doors. .-
Presenlly Police- Headquarters snd

The excitement provoked by the

In the neighborhood when a gas main,

leaped high In air and 'drew thousands

from two stations had to be called out

The spread of pneumonia throughout
the city has been slightly checked In the
past week, according to Deport made yes
terday by Charles F. Bolduaft. director
of the bureau of health education of the
Department of Health.
From December 1 to Poccmbcr 8 there
were 642 deaths In Manhattan, Of which

pneumonia.
Dr. B. V. Krause, acting Health Com
missioner. Issued the following appeal to
the public:
"We 'are' doing everything In our
power to check, the mortality, but we
must depend a great deal upon the
people themselves,-and they can aid. only
by educating' themselves and following
but the instructions Issued dally by the,
health authorities. They must learn to.
ventilate their homes, to clotlio them
selves adequately, to refrain from spit
ting in -public places.
"It Is true that one of ,the. prmcipa;
reasons -for the present Increase of
deaths "from pneumonia is due tn .the
high cost of food and fuel. With the
cooperation of State and Federal author
ities we liopo lo oercumv uns- mmtuw
in a short time."
Director Bolduan requests physicians
to forward pneumonia specimens by
mrssenger only to the research labora

protest when Frederick H, Paine of

offered resolutions which ramo very near
charging seditious teaching. The reso

"Whertai. it Is reported that roni

any teacher who, accepting his livelihood

Former Stage Star Thinks of
Soldiers and Gives Them
Cigarettes.
Will Edna May Lewlsohn, with a for
tune variously estimated at from $6,000,
000 to ,$6,000,000, eventually return to
the stage?
"It ts absurd and ridiculous for me
to even thirty of plans for the future at
the present, and aa to discussing them
that is out of the question," waa tne
answer given yesterday afternoon by
the former star, who only a few years
ago with her charming grace and daz
zling beauty captivated the theatre lov
ing public of two continents.
"I have no plans," -she added.
Howeyer, Mrs. Lewlsohn did .deny,
through her sister, Miss (Marguerite
May, a report that only a part of the
vast fortune of Oscar Lewlsohn, , her
husband, who died here -December 4
after what was considered a slight op
eration, had been left to her.
Millions Left to Iter.
While Mr. Lewlsohn's will probably
will not be filed for several days. It was
made clear by both Mrs. Lewlsohn and
her sister that all the millions left by
the -famous American breeder of b'aoded
horses in England had been willed to
his widow. '
Hence the romance that started In
Philadelphia in 1003 at a dog show,
when the young - and dashing Oscar
Lewlsohn paid $2,000 for Lady Highball,
a Boston terrier, because Miss May took
a fancy to the lltt'e animal, and finally
a few. mohtha later robbed the stage of
its' greatest beauty of the hour, has
ended with Edna May still a young
woman; retaining all her charm and
beauty and with millions at her dis
posal. But It Is not her health or what she
will-do in the years, to come that Mrs.
Lewlsohn thinks of. tQ-day. W.elghted
down b-' shock and. sorrow, her thoughts,
aa she remains secluded In her apart
mont at Sherry's, turn to the .Borrow and
suffering of others, particularly the
American boys who are fighting In
France.
When a Sun reporter called at Mrs.
Lewlsohn'n apartments- yesterday she
was more Interested In knowing whether
Tho Sun had received the 1.000 boxes
of cigarettes she had bought for The
Suhf-SoWlers' Tobacco Fund..
Will Continue War-Itellet Work.
"Ask the reporter," she. told1.' her sis
ter, "to And out whether the cigarettes
have been delivered. I ordered them yes
terday at one of the. downtown depart
ment stores and they should have been
delivered to-day."
For three ycais, or .more .'Mrs. LswI
sohn. who, with her husband, returned
to New York shortly after the war lw
gan, Ins been taking a keen Interest In
relief work. This work, she. indicated,
would be carried on Just as before her
husband's death.
Karly next week, probably Tuesday,
Mrs. Lewlsohn, accompanied by her sla
ter, will go to Gedney Farm to pass
several weeks. Then later she may visit
her old home at Syracuse.
"Oh. yes. we will return to New York."
said Miss Marguerite ?ta "hut. my sis

SAVINGS BANKS BACK
THRIFT STAMP SALES
They Believe Habit Encour
aged Will Continue.
Henry A Schenrk. president of the
Bowery Savings Bank and chairman of
the war savings committee of the sav
ings banks of New Tork city, expressed
the opinion yesterday at a meeting of
lba local savings bank executive com
mittee that the campaign now being car.
rlcd on will benetlt the country not alone
while the war lasts, but will also have
permanent beneficial results through the
thrift lessons It Is teaching,
lie believes the campaign will instil In
the American people the savings habit,
together with much needed thrift lessons
which will be applied after the war when
national economy will be essential. The
present campaign in his opinion will
teach depositors to lay funds aside for
themselves when thp Oovernment no
longer requires their financial support
He also said the Buvlngs banks of the
country are assured of a bright future
as the result of the education of th
American people through this and other
campaigns, 1
Mr. Sehenck s views were shared by
the other members of the committee
which met for a discussion of the best
method of barking up the Oovernment
plan for the sale of thrift stamps and
war savings certificates.
That the campaign i snrr.idini-
rapidly was shown yestciday In the an-i
nouncement mat t.ooo nrms classified
under the millinery and allied trades
committee are organised to spread the
gospel of the war savings stamps. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has completed ar
rangements for the sale of the stamps at
ticket offices, In the shops and tn frelcrln
stations. Investment by employees villi
be encouraged.
