SCHWAB WIF fo DESPERATELY ILL ‘Former President of the Steel Trust Also, Announces at Shipyards Hear- , ing that Another of Family Is Sick and He Wishes to Go to Them, WHO GOT $250,000? NEW MYSTERY IN BIG ‘TRUST. That Sum Was Paid Out on a Check ‘Made Out to “Lewis Nixon or Our- ; selves,” but Mr. Nixon Did Not Know / Anything About It. At the conclusion of to-day’s hearing on the shipyards inquiry, Charles M.Schwab asked that the proceedings be completed as soon ts possible, “My wife and one other member of my family,” he said, “lie dangerously ill, and it is my great desire to be with;them as goon as’ possible.” i Mr. Guthrie said that it would be impossible for him to con- sent to meetings next week, and after talk between counsel it was agreed to postpone the hearing after to-morrow’s session until a week from next Monday. Mr, Schwab’said that would please him immensely. WHO GOT THE $250,000? Lewis Nixon was again on the stand to-day and during his testi- mony everybody connected with the case began to inquire who got $250,000 on a mysterious check passed in the purchase of the con- stituent companies by jthe Shipbuilding Trust. Mr. Nixon did net know anything about the check. He said that $6,000,000 in cash had been paid to the owners of the plants, but when Lawyer Untermyer went over the checks with him they were found to be ty wnty-six in number. The first twen- ty-five totalled $6,000,000. The other one was made out to the “order of Lewis Nixon or ourselves,” and wes for $250,000. Mr. Nixon said he did not know who had got the money on the mys- terious check.

Even the Winged, Foot Handicap for two-year-olds failed to produce anything of class. ‘As speculative mediums, however, the races were fair and there was plenty of business in the ring on the various events. The attendance fell off a bit, but there was, nevertheless, a good ccowd on hand. ‘The first steeplechase of the meeting Lawyer Guthrie remarked to Mr. Schwab that it would be very interesting for (Mr. Dressler when called upon to explain that transaction. HOW TRUST WAS WRECKED. Before the story of the mysterious check came out Mr. Nixon had con- tinued his revelations about the wrecking of the trust by Charfee M. Schwab in his testimony before Special Examiner Oliphant. He said Schwab had blocked all his plans for calling a meeting of the board of directors to help the Shipyard Trust out of its difficulties. The directors who had been named by Schwab refused to attend because Schwab told them not to do so. He * pould not get a quorum for the transaction of business, became disgusted with the obstructiye methods and finally resigned from the presidency of the company. ‘ Mr, Nixon said he had opposed the resolution voting $2,800,000 to the Bethlehem Company because he believed it would wreck the trust, but the Schwab directors passed the resolution over his objections, His hands were Graci turther tied after the reorganization committee was appointed because he sould get little information as to its doings. STILL, BLOCKED BY SCHWAB. Nixon then urge: the ntockh prevent final disaster, but here again tructed by, Schwab, who sald the ments would not be paid, Schwab him- Self held $20,000,000 of the $45,000,000 of stock, The hearing was held at the offices of Guggenheimer, Marshall at No. 30 Broad street. Charles M. Schwab and Max Pam were attentive listeners to the testimony of Mr. Nixon as brought out by Mr, Sheed last quarter, and, ouce on the Untermyer. Mr. Untermeyer brought out in his first questions that Mr. Nixon had endeavored in vain to secure a quorum of the Board of Directors of the company to force some action toward helping the combination out of its <ifficulties, Mr. Nixon said that Mr. Schwab told the directors not to meet, that he became disgusted at the obstruction to his efforts to ald the ship- building company and resigned. He wrote to every member of the Board of Directors, but could not secure a quorum t eave the sinking combina- tons of shipyards from complete wreck. “Were you ip conflict with the Reorganization Committee?” asked Mr. Untermyer. “1 had no access to the except for occasional talks organisation Committee repre) company.’ The witness sald that Mr. Pam was the only one who gave him any fom information as to the scheme of reorganization and the information from een Mr. Pam was meagre, At that time the trust was hard up, but no steps |!" of xi g won thi lechase W. 1a ‘were made by the Reorganizatign Committee to raise money. him ito: eng ieamieanete Sy.

MAN LEAPED FROM TRAIL Train Stopped, After Which Sea: Party Went Back, but Railroad E tral Stetion to-day Express Messenger Miller told a story of al pte train robbery that is unique In the history of railroading. He bees 3. Arthur Carpenter and Fred Avery, New York Central trainmen, now und srrest at Albany, of entering his car and assaulting him for the robbery. Avery was in uniform at the time and was working as head man, Carpenter was riding into Albany on an employee's pass. The alleged attempt at robbery was made early this morning while the train was running at top speed just outside of Schenectady. It is Mille: idea that the men intended to rob him, leave the train at Schenectady take another train there for the west or north. Miller was at work in his car when the door was opened ang and Carpenter entered. The roar of the train drowned the soug opening of the door, and the next Miller knew he was struck on the head and knocked half way across the car, the says. SAYS HE RECOGNIZED AVERY. As Miller turned he recognized his assailants, and i his oni he cried out: “Good God, Avery, what are you trying to do?” Carpenter was the first to recover the sense of movement. In his panii of fear he threw open the side door of the car and leaped straight out ‘The train was running forty-five miles an hour. The road at that point !s ballasted with broken stone and Carpenter landed in the middle of the next track. He bounced like a ball clear to thé - side of the roadbed, and wes last seen by the horrified pair remaining 18 the car as he rolled over the side of the embankment, Avery did not have the nerve to jump. Miller closed and locked the door, drew his revolver and kept Avery & prisoner in the car wath the train ‘stopped at Schenectady, where he summoned assistance. A guard of trainmen was assigned by the conductor to watch over Avery until Albany. was reached, and there he was turned over to the authorities at the st Everybody thought Carpenter was dead. It did not seem as tho any man could live after the awful leap he took onto the stony su the roadbed. A party was sent out from Schenectady to search for’ body. The place where he landed tn the ditch was found, marked by of blood, but Carpenter had disappeared and no trace of him could be SURRENDERED TO POLICE. Although badly injured, Carpenter walked to the nearest small station, © and got there just in time to catch a local into Albany, reaching there some ” time after the arrest of Avery. When he left the train he went direct to Police Headquarters and gave himself up. He was told that Avery bat confessed and he made a confession. The express car was next to the smoker. The few passengers ‘were asleep. Avery, looking through the keyhole, saw Miller unlock the safe and open the door. Then the men sneaked in. If Miller had turned around and discovered them they intended to try to pass it off as a joke, GET AFTER HAWKES SAYS C. F.
