Jones, former Vice-Presl- dent of the National Reserve Bank, elared that Cummins and his associates of the Carnegie Trust applied to the National Reserve Bank for a loan of If you will make this loan to us, Cummins told Jones, “I will ‘influenc my friend Hyde to deposit $300,000 of the funds of the city in your bank.” ‘The loan was made, Jones swore, and the city deposits were made in the Na- tional Reserve Bank. ‘This testimony was corroborated by William Hallowey of the Hungarian- American Bank, to whom a similar Proposition wis made. Both declared they had not talked with Hyde and that they got no promises from him. Heads of other institutions also testified to getting city deposits after deans to Cummins, About the courtroom to-day the opinion ‘was very generally expressed that the case will never reach the jury. At- torneys who have studied the motion made by John B, Stanchfleld, of the @efense, to dismiss the indictment @gainst Hyde on the grounds that it Is InsuMictent and that it does not cha him with having received material benefit from the loan, expressed the Deliof that as soon as the People’s case 4s closed, Justice Goff will take the case from the hands of the jury and order the acquittal of the former chamber- lain, Although members of the District- Attorney's staff publicly declare the be- Mef that they will secure a conviction, {t tg said to be thelr private opinion that the testimony of Robin, on which they had built up their case, was Practically discounted by the cross-ex- amination. Robin was compelied to admit that he personally owea the Car- Regie Trust Company $230,000 at the time the loan was “forced” by Hyde, and that the affairs of the Carnegie Trust, the Northern Bank and half @ score of other Robin corporations were so closely imterlaced that the failure of the Carnegie Trust would hav» brought @isaster to the whole .tobin finan- ial fabric. ‘The firsi witness to-day was Henry J. Walsh, Deputy (aty Chamberlain, who yesterday produced an immense pack- age of checks and books which Assistant District-Attorney John who would rather have been in New Haven for the football game~proc to read into the record.

IN A FIRE PANIC BEFORE BIG GAME 1,000 Stampede and Women Faint in Crowded Res- taurant at New Haven. (From a Staff Comerrentent of The Evening ) ‘Worl YALE FIELD, New Haven, Nov, 3.— A sertous accident came near marring | the football celebration bere to-day. An ‘hour before time for the game between Harvard and Yale all the restaurants In New Haven were packed to the doors with hungry visitors. Outside in the Streets long lines stood waiting for a chance at the tables or lunch counters. In Child's restaurant were between 700 and 1,000 persons, Every seat was taken and hundreds waiting, The ovens in the rear of the restaur- ant became overheated and set fire to the ceiling above. Smoke pouring from windows upstairs caused a fire alarm to be turned in. At the same time the patrons in the restaurant saw the burst of flames from the woodwork of the ceiling. Women shrieked and fainted and there was a rush for the doors. The Managers of the restaurant shoutea that there wats no danger, and with the aid of the waitresses, who were amaz- ingly cool through it all, hustled the | panic-stricken people through the door- ways. The cashiers, to avoid delay, refused to accept payment of checks, Those who had fadnted were carried to the open air and revived, There were ho serious injuries, The loss through unpaid cheoks and the closing of the restaurant will Amount to about $5,000, it Is said, i IS SUED BY HIS TWO AUNTS | Papers Are “Personally Served” on Infant in Fifth Avenue Mansion, Mother States in Petition, R.

Edward F. Crowen, retired Baptist clergyman, stated peevishly bu: emphatically: “Yes, I married them. I married them on the afternoon of Nov. 31 at my home, No, 58 Boyd avenue, Jersey City. Now, please go ‘vy and don't bother me any mor The Rev. Mr. Crowen confirmed the report of the marriage in the Jersey City Hall, where he is employed as a clerk. A fellow employee said young Belmont and his comely inamorata called at the City Hall several times, after they had obtained their license to wed on Nov. 4, and at last approached ‘Mr, Crowen and arranged with him to. perform the ceremony. Mr. Belmont granted a eort of short- cireult interview to-day while seated in the body of his lmousine, upon return- ing to his home after an early tour of various newastands, where he purchased every daily print that is disseminated in Greater New York. MR. BELMONT IN RED HOT “INTERVIEW.” Mr. Belmont was so absorbed in his newspapers that he did not seem to realize his car had stopped in front of his home, at No. #4 East Thirty-fourth street, where Mrs. Belmont was waiting for him to qome in to breakfast. An Evening World reporter brought the financier back to earth with the query: ‘Mr. Belmont, have you anything to ay" The millionaire started and his fea- tures tangled in a scowl, “About what?" he snorted. “About stuff in the papers?” said the reporter, “Why not positive statement and clear the atmosphere of mystery? You have been informed that your son's marriage is a T have nothing to am not going to be bothered. I have an important engagement. [ am going 10 the Harvard-Yale football game and am in a hurry.” “But you are reported in the news- papers as having denied the fact of ¢he marriage,” urged the interviewer, “I don't give a damn," stormed Mr. Belmont, “what you print or what any of them print! I have made no state- ment to anybody and don't intend to. Good morning.” Mr. Belmont flung open the door of his Hmousine and plunged up the steps of his mansion. The bride and bridegroom early to- day evacuated the apartment in the Gosford, No. 236 West Fifty-fitth street, where Miss Lorraine had lived for some months, The couple were there late last night and bridegroom Raymond was doing a lot of telephoning, making vain efforts to Ket his papa on the wire and plead for a paternal blessing, Emis- aries and ambassadors reported in- effectual efforts to establish a family entente. A happier romance, which has been Drought to light as the Belmont-Lind- ner marriage {8 confirmed, 1s the union of Thomas 8. Barnes, Raymond Bol- mont's chum, and Miss Helen A.

CARRIED A BANK BOOK. Engraver’s Wife Had Recently Failed to End Her Life With Gas. Mra, Emma Ruckerstuhl, the wife of Emile Ruckerstuhl, an engraver of No. 93 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, com: mitted suicide a few minutes after noon to-day by throwing herself under a sub- way express train in the Brooklyn Bor- ough Hall station, Mrs, Ruckerstuhl) trad been in poor health and attempted to kill herself by inhaling gas on Nov. 1. She left home to-day saying she wanted to transact some business at the Brook- lyn Savings Bank. A book of that in- stitution, found in shopping bag of the suicide, established her {dentity. Mrs. Ruckerstuhl's act of self destruc- gers waiting on the platform to take the next train for Manhattan. The wereams of women attracted such a crowd that it became necessary to close Yay attendant upon the removal of Mrs. Ruckerstuhl'’s body from under the wheels. The Brooklyn division of the subway was operated under difficulties during the early afternoon. The woman entered the station at noon and walked to the extreme east end of the platform, She was slender, weighing only about 100 pounds, was dressed in black, wore black cotton gloves and a black hat and carried a small black leather bas. Her dark hair was tinged with gray. Standing at the edge of the platform the woman clasped her hands In an atti- tude of prayer. Frank McKeown of No. 116 Smith street, and Joseph A, Beyers, @ lawyer of No. 168 Montague street, turned to look at her. They felt danger in the situation, but 1t was too late for them to do anything. A Bronx express train of ten cars, in control of Motor Engineer John Bowes, entered the station. The woman waited until the forward car six feet away. Then, with her hands still clapsed and with her lips moving, she allowed her- self to fall, inert, across the rails, Bowes had shut off the electric power and had made the preliminary appl tion of the air-brakes. When he saw the woman fall to the track he pushed the air lever over to the emergency stop and brought his train to a standstill, Two cars had passed over the woman and her body was wedged under the trucks of the third car, Policeman William Lott, who was on the platform waiting for the train, aum- moned the station employees and ordered them to keep the crowd away from the east end of the platform. Then he tele- phoned for policemen and sent in an ambulance call. While Lott was 60 oc- cupled Bowes, the train conductor; T. J. Lane and the guards went to work to remove the body. This took twenty minutes, In the meantime an immense crowd had gath- ered in the street and surged about the tation, The ambulance surgeon, on examination of the body, sald that death had been al- most instantaneous and directed that the remains of the suicide be taken to the Morgue. In the woman's black bag was found @ purse containing $294 and the bank book, The book showed that at one time there had been to the credit of Emma, in trust for Emile Ruckeratuhl, the sum of $300. Steady and uniformly small withdrawals had dragged the bal- ance down to $. —__.- DYNAMITE BOMB FOUND IN OFFICE OF LAWYER FOR LOS ANGELES ROAD.

YALE FIELD, NEW HAVEN, Nov. 33.—Harvard won the championship from Yale this afternoon by a score of 20 to 0, That score tells the stery of everything except Yale's desperate rally near the end of the last quuarter. Harvard outplayed Yale from the start. Much of the credit for the victory belongs to Felton. It was his long septral kicke that the Yale backs foond it Impossible to hold.
