Because He Thought Him- self in Danger. ONE WITNESS HEARD. “Heard Assailant Say Killing ». Was Too Good for Vander- bilt Manager. Frederick Fickinger, who created a foene at the White Plains Fair Thure- day evening by emptying an auto- matic pistol at Charles H. Wilson, estate manager and horse trainer for Alfred G. Vanderbilt, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Moore- Lena's harness shop near White Plains to-day and held for the Grand _Sury without bail. Wilson, jauntily attired, wearing a white carnatica in his coat lapel, was present at the hearjng. A allt across the instep of his shoe, which seemed to cover a swollen foot, was the only sign he “had a wound. A counter table in the centre of the room, which was heavy with the acent Of the new leather harnesses which hung on the walls, was the Justice's bench. Assistant District- torney Fallon, Wilson, Fickinger and bis counsel, Lee Davis, sat at the “table. Fifty or more substantial Westchester County citizens sat about jig a semi-circle, There were no , Women present. The namo of Florence Schenck, the life and tragic death after her gay trip abroad with Wilson nearly one year ago, had worked Fickinger into a fever of revenge against the horse- man, was not mentioned at the hear- ing. The only witness was Walter Kelly, stable manager for Felix M. /Marburg, who witnessed the shoot- fing, He bad heard two shots fired as he was leading « pair of horses into their quarters and turned to see Fiekinger firing several more at Wil- gem, who was on the threshold of the table occupied by the Vanderbilt orees. ++ “The prisoner,” said Kelly, “turned 6 mo and said: ‘It’s all right; get "the Police. 1 am giad I did not kil ‘Rim.

The home of Mr. Sullivan, No. 540 ‘West One Hundred and Fourteenth street, near Broadway, was ao filled with floral tributes from athletic associations and friends that it was to other houses in the neighborhood for temporary keeping. The New York | Athletic Club sent a winged Mercury | foot ten feet high. Every room was filled with Sowers that banked to the very ceilings. John Nylon, an old friend of Mr. Sul- livan, was in charge, assisted by Capt. Patrick O'Neill of the Lenox avenue station and laspector Thomas |Ryan. They had a large detail of police at hand. As the route of the funeral pro- cession bad been determined, the en- tire route was lined with crowds. | There were many thousands of @choolboys from all the public and Parochial schools in Manhattan, and ® large number from the schools of neigbburing New Jersey towns. i All along the line of the procession | the crowd stood with baw jeads as the cortege wound its way from the | house. There was not # foot of the sidewalk from One Hundred and Fourteenth street and Broadway to |One Hundred and Thirty-second street and Seventh avenue that was not occupied.

Not a few of them oe ed scarcely able to control their grief. There were twenty-eight honorary libearers at the aide of the flower- Risen hearse, which was followed by a long string of carriages containing the family and those who felt unable to make the march to the church. ‘When the church was reached, it was met by another guard of honor, » equad of schoolboys, ‘which escorted the casket to the door and there stood at attention. je them were @ number of little girls from Public School No. 13, with flags lowered, ‘Within the church was a great crowd of Mr. Sullivan's friends, among them the Hon.

The wireless message stated that the Leggett sank yester- day afternoon sixty miles soutr of the Columbia River. The warship re- ported that the 8 O 6 call was re- celved at 3.15 P. M.

The original bill proposed 58,000,000, Officials said the President believed the bill should be abandoned in its present form because Government revenues, already falling because of the European war, must be supple- mented by @ war tax. The economy will extend all along the line, even Increases in salaries to officials will be abandoned. Tt was a red eyed, bedraggied Sen- ate that sat In solemn dilence and lis- tened to interminable criticisms of the measure to-day. For the Senate was suffering from the effects of an all night session. Democratic lead- ers of the Senate, ably supported in point of numbers, had brought to bear every parliamentary check they could find In an effort to break the continuous flow of river and harbor information imparted by S..ator Bur- ton. Matching pariiamentary strate-v for strategy, Senator Burton, how- ever, held the floor and spoke some- times to an almost empty chamber, and, whenever he could, to a full attendance brought by @ carefully engineered demand for @ quorum, Several times a roll call failed to bring enough Senators to do busi- ness, and a squad of deputy Ber- geant-at-Arms, bearing writs of ar- rest, started out in taxi-cabs to bring in the absent members. Senator Burton took the floor short- ly before six o'clock last evening after the Democrats had determined on @ continuous session. Despite all efforta to dislodge him, he continued to talk, and shortly after midnight the lack of a quorum caused the or- dering of writs of arrest. He had an hour and a while the majority of the Sen: herded Into the chamber, and then re- sumed, his voice a trifle husky but still strong Shortly after 6 o'clock to-day, when Senator Burton had occupied the floor more than twelve hours, Senator Kenyon relieved him and immediately paponeded in forcing @ roll call on a int of no quorum. Pepurton, after an hour's rest, re- turned to the fray, which was kept up all forenoon. “Handicapped as we are, we will fight on all day and all night, and Sunday if necessary,” sald Senator Burton. About noon Senator Morris limped into the chamber leaning on @ cane. Senators Burton and Kenyon greeted him with open arms. The Nebraska Senator ured them his injured leg did not affect his voice and that he would help out in the fight. Soon, however, the filibusters got B& rest, consenting to let the majority take up the reading of the bill item by Item with the understanding that there would be no limitation on Amendments. The Democratic Sena- tors sought Information on the Presi- dent's porition, and declared they would meanwhile continue the fight for the bill, 4b Wad? ——_——— DRIVERS IDENTIFY NEGRO.

A formal order to that effect was prepared, In the formal order of the commis- sion the following appears: “Upon consideration of a petition by respondents for modification of ordera heretofore entered in the above entitled cases, and good causes ap- pearing therefor: “It is ordered, that further hear- ings tn sald case be and hereby are granted, said hearing to be limited to Presentation of facts disclosed and occurrences originating subsequently to the date upon which the records Previously made in these cases were closed. “It in further ordered, that pending such rehearing and further order of | the Commission in the above entitled casen the commission's report, find- ings and orders heretofore entered therein shall remain in full force and effect.” The decision of the commission follows the recent application of the railroads which was made after President Wilson has received a rep- resentative committee of railway presidents at the White How How far that conference may have gone toward preparing the way for a re- opening of the case is not known. It sald at the time that the railway men asked the President to appeal to the country to treat the railroads in a spirit of co-operation, and the President responded by send- ing a sympathetio letter to Chairman Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake and Ohio. . ‘The railroads aleo asked the com- mission to modify its recent decision which granted increases west of Pitts. burgh and denied all increases be- tween the Great Lakes and the At- antic seaboard, Under the law the commission cannot modify that or- der without hearings; the decision to reopen the case brings the whole ques- tion up again for review, in which the railroads will preas for the § per cent. increases throughout the territory east of the Mississipp! and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. ‘The railroads asked for # reopening not upon the showing they made at the hearings prior to the decision, but upon conditions, which the managers my have become apparent since. The showing of the roads for June, which was not available when the case was before the Commission last time, and the exigencies which bave beea thrust on them by the European war with the attendant dificulties of getting new capital and the falling off in ex- port trafic, were cited as the principal reasons why the case ahould be re- opened. Shippers organizations which fougat the increases previously have given notice that they will oppose further advances on the rehearing, They will be represented by counsel and will have opportunity to oppose new in- creases as they did before. ‘The increases the ratiroads ask are identical with those which were de- nied. Although described as 6 per cent. advances, the commission's re- cent decision declared some of them ranged as bigh as 35 per cent. The principal heavy commodities west of Pittsburgh, Buffato and Charleston, such as coal and coke, which consti- tute more than balf of the total trat- fe of the railroads, will be affected. entirely, wilk be fected by the new case, ‘Weatern railroads, already are pre- im@ applicat'ons for increase in reights, so that when the commis- sion begins the rehearing it will have substantially beforo it applica- tions for increased freight rates from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Reopening of the case affects 133 railroads In all States east of Illinois and generally north of the Ohio River.
