PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—The
crowing of a rooster whk^h the com-

NEW YORK, June 21.—Charles J. Doherty, engineer of the locomotive which crashed into the Pullman
car Skylark at Stamford a week ago, made a pathetic statement today about his feelings regarding the wreck, j
according to special dispatches from Stamford.
"I am through," was one of Doherty's declarations. "I wouldn't run an engine again if you put a hundred
dollar bill in my hand every time I got in the cab.
"Every night when I get to bed," he continued, "I feel as if someone was hitting me with a hammer from
the inside. The poor gray haired woman I saw at the wreck, I see her all the time. 1 saw her in the wreck
when I got down from the engine and it seemed as if everything begau to go 'round. I couldn't stand it and
someone led me away. I haven't a cent in the world, but I'll find something else to do and work to forget
railroading."

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.—
United States District Attorney John
L. McNab announced today that he
has resigned. In a long telegram
to President Wilson McNab says that
he feeld forced to resign because of
orders from the attorney general ty-
ing his hands in the prosecution of
the Digga-Caminetti white slave cases
and the indictments against officials
of the Western Fuel Company.
He says he had orders to postpone
action in the cases, received by tele-
graph, in spite of his protest and
statement to the attorney general
that efforts to tamper with govern-
ment witnesses in the c^ses had been
made.
Maury Diggs, former state archi-
tect and Drew Camlnetti, a son of
former State Senator A. C. Camlnetti,
who recently was appointed commis-
sioner of Immigration by President
Wilson, eloped to Reno, Nevada, last
winter with two high school girls of
Sacramento, leaving their wives and
bables-behind them. They were
brought back to California and in-
dictments were found against them
under the Mann white slave act.
McNab to Wilson.
The message to the president fol-
lows:
"Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States.
"Washington, D. C.
"I have the honor to tender my
resignation as United States attorney
for the northern district of California,
to take effect immediately. I am or-
dered by the attorney general over
my protest to postpone until autumn
the trials of Maury Diggs and Drew
Camlnetti, indicted for a hideous
crim«K which has ruined two girls and
shocked the moral sense of the peo-
ple Of California, and this after I
have advised the department of Jus-
tice that attempts had been made to
corrupt the government witnesses and
friends of the defendants are publiciy
boasting that the wealth and political
prominence of the defendants' rela-
tives will cause my hand to be stayed
through influence at Washington.
"In these cases two girls were
taken from cultured homes, bullied
and frightened into going into a for-
eign state and were ruined and de-
bauched by the defendants, who aban-
doned their wives and infants to
commit the crime.
Another Grievance.
"On receipt of the attorney gen-
eral's telegram I prepared my resig-
nation to take effect at the end of
the Western Fuel directors and the
J. C. Wilson stock brokers' cases,
both of which I had instituted and
which I wished to bring to a success
ful conclusion. Before I could send
my resignation I received another
telegram from the department order
ing me to postpone the case against
certain defendants of the Western
Fuel company and not to try them
unless ordered by the department.
"In bitter humiliation of spirit I
atn compelled to acknowledge what
I have heretofore indignantly refused
to believe, namely, that the depart-
ment of Justice is yielding to in-
fluence which will cripple and destroy
the usefulness of this office. I can-
not consent to occupy this position as

partment the understanding of the
i«rlouft situation la which this action
will leuve this office. If the depart-
ment In future has to review the
findings of grand juries and nullify

might as well be abolished, for its

COLUMBIA, S. C., June 21.—"Wil-
liam E. Gonzales, editor of the State,
who was appointed minister to Cuba,
is well equipped for that post. His
father was the famous General Am-
brosia Jose Gonzales, who was Cuban
by birth and a Journalist of that
country. General Gozales' life was a
stormy and eventful one. He took a
prominent part in the uprising of
Cubans against the Spanish in 1848
and since that time had been prac-
tically an exile in America. He en-
gaged in the Lopez expedition and
had a prominent part in other move-

honor as a confederate general. It
was from the general that his son
received much of his wide informa-
tion concerning Cuba. The new min-

] and his 4.00(1 federals back from
Ortiz to Santa Rosa, Bome miles
nearer his base, Guaymas. and later

LONDON, June 21.—Militant suf-
fragette "arson squads" were out last
nighCat St. Andrews, Scotland, and
at South End on the lower Thames
and caused considerable damage
At St. Andrews the east wing of
the Gatty marine laboratory w&s de-
stroyed and many valuable instru-
ments were burned.
At south end the costly church at
St. John was set on fire, but the
damage was not great.
An attempt to damage the embank-
ment of a canal by an explosion of
gunpowder was reported today from
Yardley,^Worcestershire. Suffragette
literature was discovered in the
neighborhood. The cavity caused by
the explosion also penetrated the
bank of the canal and a little more
force would have released water that
would have devastated the valley be-
low with almost inevitable loss of
life.
Gertrude Shaw, a militant suf-
fragette, hurled a brick through a
window of the Scotland yard police
headquarters this afternon and sub-
sequently was sen!'to prison for a
term of three weeks.
Miss Shaw is a member of the
Women's Social and Political Union
and was one of the women who cap-
tured the monument commemorating
the great fire. Her exploit of today,
she declared, was a protest against
the treatment of suffragette prison-
ers.

Unusual in many ways were the airbrake tests of engine No. 1,338, which crashed into the rear Pullman of
the Boston to New York express on the New York, New Ha,ven and Hartford railroad at Stamford, Conn., and
killed six and injured nearly a score. The locomotive, drawing the same cars as on the day of the crash, ran
over the same section of tracks. For six straight tests the engine worked all right, with varying results, but on
the seventh test the airbrakes failed to work properly, and the train went beyond the point where the first sec-
tion had stood at the time of the accident, proving the contention of Engineer Charles J. Dougherty. The top
picture shows that the engine still bore traces of the smashup, as indicated by the arrow. In the lower view cor-
oner Chelan is insisting that the engine make further trials. General Superintendent C. N. Woodward of the
railroad Is consenting.

RATE INVESTIGATION
BY COMMISSION
Interstate Commerce Body to Inquire
Into Railroads' Application to
IW.se Freight Tariff.
WASHINGTON, June 21.—An in-
quiry will be made by the interstate
commerce commission on its own ini-
tiative into the application of the
railroads east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac riv-
ers for permission to advance the
freight rates, both class and com-
modity.
Early today an order was issued
by the commission denying the ap-
plication of the fifty-two eastern
lines to reopen the old advance rate
case which was a proceeding look-
ing to the increase of class freight
rates. Coincidentally, the commis-
sion issued a second order Institut-
ing on its own motion an investiga-
tion of the roads' proposal to in-
crease freight rates, both class and
commodity. Late this afternoon the
commission issued a third order re-
scinding its order of investigation
and ATmounclng that a substitute
would be Issued later.
The last order caused wide con-
jectures as it was accompanied by
no explanation. It was said later by
commission officials that the form
for the order of investigation was
not satisfactory and would be chang-
ed in the forthcoming order in phras-
eology rather than in principle.
AMERICUS, Ga., June 21.—Wm.
Redding, a negro, who shot and per-
haps fatally wounded Chief of Police
W m. C. Barrow here tonight while
the officer was taking him to prison,
was taken from the jail shortly af-
terward by a mob of about five
hundred men and hanged to a cable
at a street corner near the scene of
his crime. The mob was unmoved
by the pleadings of a local pastor in
Bedding's behalf and after swinging
the negro's body in the air, they rid-
dled it with bullets.
Early in the night Redding, after
being arrested by Chief Barrow, sud-
denly wrenched himself loose from
the officer, pulled a pistol from his
pocket, and fired at close range. The
bullet passed through the officer's
body and wounded a negro bystand-
er. Chief Barrow, although badly
wounded, fired several times at Red-
ding, three other negroes receiving
injuries. Redding was placed in jail,
but a mob quickly formed, overpow-
ered the sheriff and deputies, tied a
rope about the prisoner's neck and
ted him through the streets to a
prominent corner, where he was
hung. After firing at the swinging
body for half an hour the mob dis-
persed.
Barrow had been the local chief of
police for about twenty-five years.
GUTHRIE, Okla., June 21 —The
Jury late this evening brought in a
verdict of not guilty in the case
against W. H. Coyle. Coyle and
others were charged with forming a
pool to raise the price of cotton gin-
ning in Oklahoma.
This was acknowledged to be a
test case of a number which were
based on the same indictments and
the result of this case will govern
all similar cases. The indictments
charged that Coyle with other cotton
men through an organization called
the "New State Brokerage Compa-
ny," sought to control the cotton
seed situation of Oklahoma through
ginning prices. It was charged that
the brokerage company was a con-
tinuance of the "Sons of Plato,"
whle operated before 1906. The de-
fense pleaded the "rule of reason."

WASHINGTON, June 21.—
Secretary Bryan tonight announc-

of the Glass currency bill and let
it be known that he would use
what Influence he could in bring-

congress.
Mr. Bryan had intended issuing
a statement tonight giving his
view on the measure in full and
giving his reason for supporting
It. The statement, however, will
not be issued until tomorrow, his
decision to withhold being the
result of a conference with Presi-

cabinet. Secretary Bryan, it is
understood, has given the sub-
ject of currency reform the closest
attention and has come to the con-
clusion that the need of reform

WASHINGTON, June 21.—The
Underwood-Simmons tariff revision
bill, as agreed upon by the demo-
crats of the senate committee, went
through a full day's session of the
senate democratic caucus today with
practically no change and the har-
monious support for most of the
alterations the finance committee
had made in the house bill.
Duties on chemicals, oils and
paints; on earthenware and glass-
ware, and on two-thirds of the ar-
ticles comprised in the metal and
machinery schedule had been dis-
posed of when the caucus adjourned
late this afternoon and democratic
members of the finance committee
met tonight to finish redrafting the
income tax section of the bill. The
important changes to be made in
this provision reducing the exempt-
ed income from $4,000 to $3,000
probably will be completed Monday
and the income tax and administra-
tive features of the ly 11 then will be
turned over to the caucus for con-
sideration.
Criticism of the tariff in the party
conference was limited to a few spe-
cific rates and a half dozen of the
items were sent back to the finance
committee for further investigation
and report.

NEW YORK, June 21.—Methods
which should be pursued in reform-
ing the currency fystem of the coun-
try, according to "Jews of the Ameri- •
can Bankers Association, were out-
lined today in a detailed statement
issued by the currency committee of
that organization. The statement,
which answers thirty-three questions
formulated by a sub-committee of
the committee on banking and cur-
rency of the United States senate,
was prepared by the committee
which recently conferred at Atlantio
City.
The commission endorsed the cur*
rency plan devised by the National
Monetary Commission, of which Sen-
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island via
chairman. It made no reference to
the bill recently prepared at Wash-
ington w ith the co-operation of Pres-
id eiit Wilson. Its recommendations^
in fact, were framed before the pub*
lication of the administration bill.
The commission dirges that whatever
system is adopted to be put out of
politics.
Favor Government Control.
The committee made no attempt
to formulate a complete currency
system It did state its belief, how-
ewr, that a central banking institu-
tion should be established under gov-
ernment control. No reference was
made as to the regulations of such an
institution or the appointment or
election of its managing heads. The
committee while not declaring for
the creation of an institution similar
to the great central banks of the
principal European countries, points
out that "the experience of commer-
cial nations is that results can be
better accomplished by the creation
of a privately owned central organi-
zation, dominated and controlled by
the government as, for instance, the
Imperial Bank of Germany or the
Bank of France. It serves to take
the matter out of politics."
"The great danger," the state-
ment says," is that if borrowers go
direct to the treasury, politics will
become an all important and domi-
nating influence."
As to Central Reserve*.
In answer to the direct question
whether there should be a central re-
serve association with branches or
a number of reserve associations,
with or without central control, the
bankers replied:
"In our opinion, one central re-
serve association with branches
would best serve our present neces-
sities. Failing that, a small number
of regional reserve associations, also
with branches might be organized to
serve the purpose. The smaller the
number of reserve associations, how-
ever, the more effective the rest rve
control If there are to be a lum-
ber of regional reserve associations
they should be under some kind of
control in which both the govern-
ment and the various associations
should have representations."
The commission does not favor the
continuance of bond secured cur-
rency, the obJection%4>eing that the
volume of currency is thus arbitrari-
ly limited.
"One unfortunate consequence of
this artificial condition," the state-
ment says, "is that the nation's
I bonds, which should be widely held
by the citizens as their choice of in-
vestment, are held almost exclusive-
ly bv banks for circulation or gov-
ernment deposits."
The bankers do not commit them-
selves to any definite statement
i whether there should be any changes
j in the present requirement of the
; law that twenty-five per cent of de-
posits shall be held as reserve.
Favor Elastic Currency.
One of the most important recom-
mendations is made in reply to the
j question:
I "Should,an elastic currency be au-
1 thorized by law?"
"We believe that such a currency
should be authorised by law," the
answer runs, "the amount to be con-
trolled by the gold reserve require-
ments against It. Such reserves
i should be ample, not less than fifty
per cent as a recognised minimum. A
special tax might be levied upon any
deficiency of the reserve below a
stipulated amount, this tax to be in-
creased as the deficiency increases.
Such provision would, In our opin-
ion, prevent over-expansion of the
currency."
Such currency should be issued by
a central reserve association, ;• tin
commission believes, rather than
a member of a regional reserve fo;
the United States treasury.
