His daughter, Miss Gertrude Knight, was in the audience, and hurried to her father's side, being with him wher he died. Mrs, Knight arrived shortly afterward. The hall was crowded, but while the collapse-of Dr. Knight shocked the audlence there was no outward of ment, it'being supposed that Mr. t had suffered simply a se-~ vere fainting spell from which he would goon recover.

Governor Johnson Quotes From Speech of Princeton’s President. Binghamton, N. Y., Oct. 4—Govern- or Johnson in an address here tonight attempted to show his audience that Governor Wilson’s present attitude:to- ‘wards union labor is not the same that he took in 1909 while connected with Princeton university. The California executive referred to an address Gov- ernor Wilson made to a graduating class at which time he was quoted as saying ;certain tendencies of labor unions were economically disastrous, and to the New Jersey governor's re- cent remarks in his New England speeches, in which, Governor John- son sald: “He was findelv;rrlng ‘to fi(g;en a great y with union r.” | rm other day in a Massa- chusetts, newspaper friendly to _the democratic candidate for president, his utterances in New England in ref- erence to the right of laber to organ- ize,” the governor said. “I gathered that he was endeavoring to express a great sympathy with union labo Vividly there came to me the words of the Democratic candidate uttered at the Princeton commencement in 1909. He then said: “The tendency of the modern labor union is to give employ- ers as little labor as possible for the amount they receive. No one is suf- fered to do more than the average workman can do. No one may work out of hours at all, or volunteer any- thing beyond the minimum. I need not point out to you how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It is so unprofitable to the em- ployer, that in some grades it will tly not be worth while to at-l anything at all. Our economic Supremacy lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable service.” “l1 leave you without comment the ‘views of Professor Wilson in 1909 and those of Candidate Wilson in 1912. ‘Which constitutes the real views 'of Mr. Wilson you may determine for yourselves.” AMERICAN MARINES AT SANTO DOMINGO.

With neither the | French nor American government will- ing to receive him, the prince's friends tonight "'wondered what his port of ref- uge would be. His deportation, if or- | dered, would under the law be via the French line, which brought him, and this would take him straight back to Havre, whence he started. The prince, who is 36 years gld and has visited America before, came this time, he said, to hunt in Virginia. He denied at first that he had ever at- tempted suicide, but according to the immigration inspector who examined him was later trappdd into an admis- sion that he had “accidentally’ shot contrary desire, sought to have him marry a yvoung Spanish woman. The inspector then charged him with false- hood and sent him to detention quar-- ters at Ellis Island. MANY MORE WITNESSES IN SUGAR TRUST PROBE.

Railways Must Furnish Them, New Jersey Judge Decides. 2 Trenten, N. J, Oct. —The order of the state public utility commission compelling railroad companies operat- ing in New Jersey to furnishi to pa- trons a sanitary drinking glass or in- dividual drinking cups was upheld to- day in a decision handed down by Justice Minturn of the supreme court.

Mr. Gordon testified that he was su- perintending construction work in front of the station when he heard the exprees coming. He realized that the train was coming at “an excessive rate of speed,” so he ran forward, waving his arms in a frantic endeavor to at- tract the attention of the engineer. As the train did not slacken speed he was obliged to jump down an embankment to save his life. 3 Knew Train Would Be Wrecked. Mr. Gordon said: “I knew the train would be -wrecked ,for no train could ever take a cross-over at such speed. The engineer was leaning out of the cab and he must have seen me.” Gordon sald that when the engineer finally put on the brakes the train had entered the switch. Was Going 50 to 60 Miles An Hour. ®\r. Coyle’s testimony showed that three separate signals had been set against the train to reduce speed. His records showed that the first section of the train went past his tower at a rate of “perhaps fifteen or twenty miles an hour.” The second section which was tweive minutes late, was going at “fifty to sixty miles an hour.” He said ,in his opinion that a rate of speed of thirty-five miles an hour in taking a switch was dangerous. Mr. Coyle said that the first signal the engineer would have seen was half a mile from the tower. The sig- nal meant “slow down—you may have to stop or take switch.” Tried to Attract Fireman. ‘When he saw that the train did not slacken its speed, Coyle said: “I knew there was going to ba a wreck and I opened my window and jtried to attract the attention of the fireman. He was looking straight ahead at the ‘dwarf signal’ and did not see me. If the train had not been coming so fast, I could have saved it, by throwing it onto a straight track, where it would have probably collided with the Norwalk freight some miles down the road. But I had no time, for the train was upon me before I knew it.” Inquest to Continue Today. Coroner Phelan will continue his in- quest tomorrow morning at 9.30. FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. Recommendations of Interstate Com- ! merce Commission Disregarded. ‘Washington, Oct. 4—Interstate Com- merce Commissioner McChord left to- night for Westport, Conn, to investi- gate personally the disastrous wreck there yesterday. “I intend to be present at the coro- ner’s inquest and to direct the official inquiry into the wreck,” said the com- missicner. “It is high time that all railroads should adoyt means to avert such calamities, particularly when the means are easily within their reach. A precisely similar accident like tha of yesterday happened about a year ago at Bridgeport on the New Haven road. Both were caused by the driving the trains at recklessly high speed over Recommendations made by commission at that time,” Mr. McChohd said, “had been disregarded absolutely.” “Had they been cbserved. the prob- ability is that the Westport accident would not have occurred. In this in- stance I shall endeavor to fix the re- sponsibility definitely. It will be the effort of the commission to prevent the recurrence of such accldents, If the present law is found to be inade- quate, we shall ask congress to so amend as to give us authority to com- pel railroads to adopt such measures as will prevent useless destruction of human life. “After the Bridgeport wreck the commissions’ recommendation that the installation of automatic train con- trol apparatus to bring trains to a told the jury that the executive bofhrd met regularly and appropriated money for the expense of the explosives. The money he asserted, was paid by checks signed by President Frank M. Ryan. One of the stubs read: “Expended for organization purposes, $233 at Clinton, Towa.” Explosions Approyed by Officiale. It would be shown, Mr. Miller said, that Ortie E. McManigal was paid that sum for an explosion at Clinton and that “the whole system of explosions through the country was carried on with the approval and support of the officials and executive board of the union.” . Publication Was Suspended. “We will show ,” said Mr. Miller, “that the finances of the Iron Work- ers’ union were juggled so that the funds were used for buyving explosives. McNamara wrote to Ryan suggesting that the constitutional provision for publishing the accounts in the union magazine be suspended that no out- sider might learn what was done with the money. Ryan put it up to the union’s executive board which sent out a circular letter announcing that it was considered wise to suspend pub- lication. This shows the executive board members to be parties to the | conspiracy. Before a strike was call- ed there were no explosions, but as soon as it was called they began.” A Police Judge Compromised. Moulton H. Davis, Westchester, Pa., it would be shown, Mr, Miller sair was one of the me1 who promoted explo- sions in Pennsylvania. Mr. Davis form- erly was an executive board member. Mr., Miller read a letter in whicn William Bernhardt, secretary of a lo- cal union at Cincinnatl, was alleged to have said a police judge in Cincinnati 1 had dismissed charges against union Mofficials that he sald “don’t let this bunch come before me again or I'll have to do something.” “] Control the Police.” | 1In the letter Mr. Miller said Bern- | hardt asked that a “stranger be sew: | to Cincinnati to blow up the Harrison avenue viaduct.” When McManigal hesitated about blowing up jobs in Peoria, IIL, accord- ing to Mr. Miller, Edward Smythe, business agent there, wrote: “Don’t fear, I have friends on the | police here. In fact, I control the po- |lice.” The first witness probably will be heard Monday. | SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR HARVEST. Fargo, N. D. Young Men Get Two Weeks’ Leave for Field Work. Fargo, N.
