Women Passengers Tear Up Their Underskirts to Bind Up Wounds of Others. New Orleans, November 11 Seven per i jj i sons are known to be dead and a score or more Injured as a result of a wreck this morning on the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad at Little Woods, twelve miles from New Orleans. Between Slldell and New Orleans the trains of the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad aro used by the Great Northern Railroad, and It was a suburban train of this road from Covington that crashed into the rear of a local Northeastern train from Hattlesburg, telescoping the four rear coaches.

He will have the local bureau of information over there soon, so that, people In Brooklyn who are Inquiring for missing relatives may have to go to Mulberry street to secure their information. There was much comment In Brooklyn to-day over what was referred to as "the Impertinence" nf General Bingham In cutting off Brooklyn as a police center. The borough Is nearly ns large as Manhattan In point of population.

It was pointed out, and was Just something like 70.000 less in the registration this year. Bingham knows nothing about Brooklyn and purposes to make it, more than It has been, a way station for the Police Department. The fire commissioner would not. It wni argued, dare to try to cut off Brooklyn's local fire headquarters as Bingham has done with the police service, and yet one verely bruised about head, body, hips and their nickels to help build a wonderful rms city a marvelous Utopia on the sub-Milton Spitzfaden, Algiers, badly merged mudbanks of Jamaica Bay.

It was some time before news of the accident reached New Orleans, but as soon as it was learned a relief' train was rushed to the spot. When the rescue party reached Little Woods, tho scene that met their eyes was one of terror, desolation and death. The wreck had caught fire and the first efforts of Ihe passengers and the few fishermen nnd hunters lounging about the Lake Pontehartrain camp were directed toward subduing the flames. In this they had been partly successful, but little succor had been given to tne badly injured, nnd several of these died while lying about the smoldering debris, Rude bandages had been bound about their wounds in an effort to stop the flow of nnd in many Instances the later examination of the railroad surgeons showed thai nore than one life had been saved in this manner.

HOW $20,000 WAS INVESTED, That Came From "Industrial Federation of America" Loss of Carnegie Trust Co. i Legal divers employed to explore the 1 'depths of certain operations of Edwin James Selley of 620 Bever cy road, Brook- lyn, have found signs of the lost treasure of the dupes of the old Industrial Feder ation of America, whose treasure ship disappeared some years ago ns mysteriously as some gold-laden galleon sunk in the Main t. lnnn.ln nt the sunken ship Is charted in the records of t'nited States Commissioner Alexander, in the matter of the Multiphone Company there is not much encouragement for treasure seekers. Salvage prospects are not promising. Poor old Peter Garrahan, just before he was arrested and sent ud to Rlaekwell's Island, spake bitterly to a reporter of the Eagle and said that his one-time friend and then arch enemy, E.

J. Sel- lev. W.1R nHinir the mnnpv nf tho Industrial Federation of America to exploit the Multlphone Company and the other associated companies. Garrahan was bitter because It was his idea and originally his own company that got the gullible workingmen and worklngwomen to give ley, the man who had been active In forcing Garrahan out of his own eom- pany. it was a surprising fact that the In- dustrial Federation of America had any money left after everything that had happened to the company.

It was gener- ally believed that the company passed out of existence after "Diamond Phil" Weinselmer. one of the most active offl- cerB of the company, went up to Sing Sing for extorting money from a man following upon Introduction by Selley, who was one of Weinseimer's associates In business. It appears from testimony taken be- rore Commissioner Alexander that mere was about $20,000 left out of the wreck of the company, and that this money was taken in hand hy Selley "to Invest." Selley Invested It, he says, nnd now all hat federation has to show or Its corporation, and a bond from the same source. The unfortunate victims of the Jamaica Bay scheme will find much to interest them In the final disposition of their money. There Is some question as to whether all the money has been nut tnlo his multiphone scheme, which did fine ns a stock selling venture.

It is understood that the trust company is still yearning for $08,000 of the $100,000.

Case Adjourned by Commissioner. The case was on before Commissioner Alexander, to-day, but because some witnesses had not been subpenaed tt was adiourned for one week.

Garrahan wanted to appeal to the working people who would naturally Incline toward such a scheme. With this in view he took in a few walking delegates and business agenls of labor unlonJ.

Secrecy as to Revelation If Man Dies He'll Die Easy If He Lives He'll Take Punishment. That several thousand dollars' worth of metal castings and fittings have disappeared from tho Brooklyn Navy Yard through what now seems to have been a well-organized system of thievery among navy yard workmen was revealed to the navy yard authorities this morning In a very peculiar manner, through a confession of a man who was discharged from the navy yard more than a year ago, who now lies at the point of death In a local hospital. This morning a young woman wearing a silk raincoat over the blue and whlU striped uniform of a trained nurse, called upon Commandant Rear Admiral James Dexter Adams and confided to him the facts.

She hastened past the admiral's orderly before ho could stop her to ask her name and business, aud to Lieutenant Brlrker she stated that she was a regis tered nurse and had private business of the utmost concern not only to the gov eminent, but also to the repose of I human soul. When Admiral Adams appeared the young woman asked: "Are you the ndmlral commandant?" "1 am. madam," the admiral replied. "1 have a very confidential communica tion to make to you, sir," the nurBe continued, "and I should prefer to make It to you alone. course, just what the woman told the admiral remainB a secret between tne two.

After she had told her story, the admiral asked for James Fay of the Navy Yard detective bureau, and related in substance that which the young woman had lold hiin. directing him to take ehoro of Ihe ease. Fay asked the young woman to follow him. The man who made the confession up to a year ago was employed as a plumber in building No. 12, under the general supervision of master plumber.

William H. Rahn. His immediate however, was leading man David Wares. Fay led tho young woman to the office of Itnhn where he met Wares. Ho asked the latter what manner of man tho ex-plumber was and was informed that he had always borne an excellent reputation and was considered one of the most efficient workman in the shop.

According to the records ot the construction department, tho man had been employed by tho government ever since lf02 and was discharged a little less than a year ago as tho result of Admiral Goodrich's consolidation, when the house plumbers and tho ship plumbers forces were combined. Naval Constructor W. J. Baxter was also acquainted with the woman's story; but could not be prevailed upon to make any statement concerning It. From the constructor's office, Fay accompanied the young womnn to the office of the federal district attorney In the Post Office.

The district attorney and his staff were equally reticent upon the matter, but this much was vouchsafed, however: Fearing that he was about to die, and suffering a menial anguish that seemed to defy the skill ot the hospital doctors and nurses who were attending him, the former navy yard employe last evening resolvpd to relieve his conscience. He summoned his nurse to his bedside and between his groans of agony told her of his Implication In a wholesale system of thievery by which the Navy Department had lost thousands of dollars worth of metal castings and fittings. He said that he himself had carried off much of the loot and had disposed of It to the junk and second hand dealers who flourish in the vicinity of the Navy Yard. He confessed that his misdeeds weighed heavily upon his conscience and that he wished to square himself with the world before he left it. He begged the nurse to acquaint the commandant of the yard with the facts in the case.

He expressed the hope that he might be forgiven iu case he died and the willingness to "take his medicine" In case he got well. This statement of the bedridden man, however, is not competent in law, and unless other evidence; is obtained by which the facts set forth by him can be substantiated and proven, no official pro-reeding can be instituted. The district attorney, therefore. Is unwilling to make known the etxent of the disclosures made to him by the sufferer through the medium of his nurse. He Intends, though, lo use the information thus imparted aa a basis of investigation.

A number of Secret Service men will be put on the job. If tho man lives and makes a free confession when he is in the full possesion of his faculties, the work of the Secret Service men in running down the others who aro Implicated in the robbery will be made easy. If, on the other hand, the sufferer dies, the case may come to nought. It is said that much of the goods stolen from the yard by this man and his accomplices were carried off during the regime of Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan.

the Immediate predecessor of Admiral' Goodrich. When the latter assumed command of the yard, he became convinced that there was systematic thievery going on that seemed to defy the detection of Fay and his company of Vow YnrH sleuths. The admiral report ed the matter to the authorities at Wash ington and requested a detail or secrei service men to Investigate. This re quest was granted. Government sleuths disguised themselves as woramen after several week3 of observation succeeded In making a number of arrests, inoludino two innk dealers.

One of the Junk dealers was sent to prison and bis wife heavily lined. ITALIANS HAD WEAPONS. Detectives Gathered In a Bunch of Men With Razors, Etc.

Paris, November 11-The suit of Count Boni de Castellane against his former, wife, who Is now Princess Helle do Snirun fnr thn ntiaseasinn nf hl children. has been postponed for another week. America wai used In developing the Multiphone business. It was used just as if It had been Selley's own money. Indeed Selley admitted on the stand in the present proceedings that he thought his money and the money of the federation was all mingled together.

The Multiphonlgraphic Company got into some financial trouble and the Multiphone Company was formed to manufacture multlphones. The Multiphone Operating Company was formed to buy the multlphones from the Multiphone Company, to operate the multiphones and to have that very Important province of selling Its own stock to the ptiDilc wltn promises of a monthly dividend of 1 per cent. They began to pay this dividend and attracted many purchasers. There are many pathetic cases of people who took their savings of a lifetime and put them into Multiphone Operating stock. The company took in thousands of dollars and spent other thousands for advertising in a newspaper, which was later on the sole medium for the alluring advertisements of Selley's Architects Sand-ard Bronze Company.

The Carnegie Trust Company was so I Jmprossed with the business that it ac. 1 1 a 1 1 offered to oan money to the Sol ley concern, according to Selley's own statement. Sellev and William H. Pritrh- ard, secretary and treasurer of the Mul- ''Phono Company, accepted the loan and The Envy of Garrahan. All of this time nobody on the outside, except possibly Peter Garrahan.

knew what funds had been used to develop the Multiphone business. It was natural tnai Garrahan, himself having a hard time selling stock in his new Maryland Utopia scheme, should be envious of Sellev. Maybe it was this envy of Selley which finally led to undesirable publicity. The Multiphone Operating Company stopped paying its regular monthly dividends and people who had bought the stock began to suspect Unit they had been duped. The parent Multiphone Company went into the hands of a receiver.

Selley left the multiphone business because, according to his own admission, he didn want his past career to hurt the business Pritchnrd and ho enme to an agreement by which Selley was to take the Architects Standard Bronze business and Pritchard was to remain as the big man In the multiphone business. When creditors of the Multiphone Company became Inquisitive they discovered that practically everything of value was covered by a mortgage held to cover the Carnegie Trust Company lonn. It was discovered that the Multiphone Company had given a nole for to the Industrial Federation of America. This nolo was signed by Edwin J. Selley, as president of the Multiphone Company, and by William H.

Prilrhard. as secretary and treasurer. It was presumed to rover money of the federation loaned by Selley as trustee of the federations funds, to Selley as president of the Multiphone Company. Investigation has put a different light on the Buhjcct. Selley when put on the stand, said that he used the money of the Industrial Federation of America in developing the hnsiness and that his recol lection was that about $4,000 had been ad the Multlnhonogranhie Com- nihoi- mnnpv nf the federation to tne Multiphone Company, and that altogether Including his advances to the Multiphono-graphlc Company, he had put between $10,000 and $11,000 of the federation's money into the multiphone business.

Austin Asked an Accounting. Then Arthur C. Austin, president of the. almost forgotten Industrial Federation of America, called on his friend Selley for an accounting of the funds of the federation. Some time before the first of this year.

Selley gave Austin a note ot the Multiphone. Company, which promised to pay the Industrial Federation of America tho sum of $16,000. This note was dated March 1, 11107, but it was not until months after that date that Austin got It. Austin said on the stand that he had received no memoranda or written record from Selley showing what money he had loaned. Austin said that Selley had been made custodian of the funds of the federation because Selley had a plan of Investment which he thought would make ner sioner showed a surprising laxness the handling of the federation's money.

Sellev couldn't remember, he swore, just how much he hud loaned. He had no record. He had checked out the money from the account in the Nassau Bank, where, he thought, his funds and the federation's funds were mincled together. Though he had advanced only $11,000 of the Federation'3 money at the maximum estimate, he and Pritchard, aetins tor the Multiphone Company, nan given i ik nin hi. ZZM fau 'h! he had been authorized by a resolution of tho board of directors of the Multiphone Company to sign the note to the Federation, he declined to answer on the ground that it might tend to Incriminate or degrade him.

Both Austin and Pritchard swore that they could not say whether any ot the alleged $10,000 or $11,000 aggregate of advances from Selley ever got. to the Multiphone Oompeiiy. When Pritchnrd was asked if he knew that tho Multiphone 1 said cannot answer that truthfully." Apparently, tho note given by Selley and Pritchard to the federation, was looked upon as accounting for nt least $16 000 of the federation's money Intrusted to Selley. The lawyers are still trying to find out how much of the fed- ration's money Selley actually advanced to the multiphone business. DIDN'T WANT TO DIE.

Henry Murphy Says He Took Poison by Mistake.

Murphy said that he took ihe poison by mistake and when Magistrate Steers asked him if he would undertake again to end his lite he answered with much emphasis: "Certainly not, your honor." Magistrate Sleers accepted tho man's word and discharged him. MANY TO RACE IN CUBA.

Scrimmage Between Red and White Men on Washington Street. Beds Laid Out. Four Indians connected with the "Death Valley" Company, playing at tho Bijou, and as many white men. well known In local pugilistic circles, engaged in a free fight at noon to-day at Washington and Johnson streets. Three of the red men were knocked out in clean cut fashion in as many minutes and a big crowd enjoyed the show without the customary "membership" cards.

One of aborigines got into an altercation with Bob Clark, well known as a manager of prize fighters, who is alleged to have made an offensive remark to the Indians as they passed. Just as the two 'men seemed on the verge of mixing things up in true prize ring style, another Indian struck Olark a "pivot" blow from behind. Without paying any attention to his assailant. Clark landed a short arm swing on the tlrst red man. who landed in a heap In the gutter.

The second Indian started to interfere again, whereupon Mike Tilths, the old-time "trial horse," went to his friend's rescue and landed a knockout blow, the cleanest, it was said, ever spen in public. Eddie Cain, another well known boxer, who was in the party, started to walk off. He was chased by a third Indian, tho largest of the quartet. Half way down the block, Cain turned quickly on his pursuer and with a right-handed swing sent the aborigine Into slumber-lnnd. It required several minutes to bring the three redmeii back to consciousness.

The fourth beat a hasty retreat. The white men jumped on a trolley ear and took a ride, returning later to talk orer the battle. In the meantime, the retlmeo pulled themselves together nnd continued on their way. No officer appeared. BURNED BY EXPLOSION.

Three Men Injured When Lamp Was Taken Into Tank on Oil Ship. Three men were burned by an explosion which occurred on the oil steamship M. Guffey, lying at Robbins Dry Dock, at about 7:30 this morning, and which was caused by a lighted lamp coming in contact with the petroleum gases In one of the empty oil tanks which had been kept closed. John Dalton, 36 years old. of 109 Nelson street, and Fred Mulhern, 35 years old, of 287 West Twelfth street, pipe tillers, and Charles Rear.

IK years old. of 620 Baltic "street, a helper, went into one nf the oil tanks In the fore hold of the ship to repair a suction pump. One of the men carried a small lamp, such ns miners use, but with no globe over the flnme. As noon as he reached the bottom of the lank there was an explosion. Fellow Workmen heard the explosion and ran to Ihe tank and pulled the Injured men out.

Ambulance Burgeon Gardener was summoned, and the three men were removed to the Long lsla.id College Ho3pltal suffering from burns of the face nnd hands. WORTHLESS CHECK CHARGE.

STJGGESTS CLOSING STORES. Suspension of Business Urged During Martyrs Monument Dedication.

Appeals have been made to the larger business houses of the borough, which it Is hoped will meet will a favorable response.

Naval Constructor W. J. Baxter to-day received an Invitation to the launching of the otlller Prometheus on the morning of December 5, in the Marc Island Navy Yard. The Prometheus is a sister ship of the Vestal, which was launched In the Brooklyn yard ln.it May. Both ships were commenced at the same time.

The local yard made a record on the Vestal which has never bee-' eninled In the speedy construction of POLICE DO CLERKING; THIEVES 00 BUSINESS Record Keeping for Bingham Seems to Be the Main Idea of Police Duty Now. STRIPPING LOCAL OFFICES. The Work ot Moving Things Over to 300 Mulberry Street Goes Cheerfully On. The disorganization of the Police Department under present conditions and the curious administration of General Rlngham Is evident Just now In tho fran tic effort that tho detective force, both In Manhattan and in Brooklyn, is mak ing to catch somebody. There Is no denial ot tho fact that burglary was never so common; not the plain burglary that has always existed in the city, but thievery by desperat: thugs who gag, and bind, and threaten Scarcely a day passes without the pub lication iti tbo papors of some such crime, concealed by the police, but given to the papers by the helpless and hope less victims of police Inefficiency.

Small wonder, It is said, that tho pollen should fall under tho present methods Even Deputy Commissioner Woods ad mitted, It was learned, that the man In charge of the local detective service Acting Captain Kuhne, was sent here be cause of his extreme efficiency as a man who could keep records. He hal been in Manhattan systematizing the picture gallery, and he systematized It very well, Indeed. Then he was sent to Brooklyn to systematize the records here and incidentally, with practically no experience as a detective, to boss something over one hundred detectives. But It Is no worse In Brooklyn than in Manhattan for there DeputyCommlssloner Woods, the man who pins his faith on dogs as detectives and protectors, has complete control of the machinery of the detective service. Now.

In the wild effort to do something and make arrests the detectives In Brooklyn and Manhattan are working overtime. They may be met at all hours of the night prowling about In places where their work is not at all effective, but still hoping that they may be able to make a record. There seems, ac cording to the men who observe such things, to be no scientific police work possible under present conditions, and the work that Is done is aimless, for the most nart. Every night there are officers at each of the ends of the bridges, some to prevent burglars from coming Into Brooklyn and others to prevent thieves and burglars from going In to Manhattan. Yet, all the same, they manage to get to both boroughs and there Is not a night without some burglary, concealed from the public bv the tactics of General Bingham.

Two Men Do Fall Into Police Hands. Two men were arrested at 3:30 o'clock this morning by Detectives Clarke, Tun-ney and Barry, and another on suspicion ol being burglars. One of them had been a burglar, but he declared this morning that he was reformed. The police did not think so, for reformed burglars do not prowl about at 3:30 clock in the morning with Jimmies in their pockets, wrapped In handkerchiefs. The particu lar burglar referred to was "Lefty" Mil ler, also known as George Miller.

'Lefty" and a pal, Louis Wilson, were standing In the shadow of a telegraph pole at the corner of Havemeyer and South Fourth streets at 3:30 o'clock this morning when the detectives descried them. Of course, their purpose In stand-lug there could not be good, and the officers placed them under arrest.

AN ACCIDENT, SAYS GAYNOR. Special Officer Tells How He Came to Kill Saloonkeeper Watten-burger. Edward Gaynor, the special officer who willed Wattenburgor. the saloonkeeper, last Wednesday morning in tho latter'a saloon, was arraigned be- fore Magistrate Tighe in the Iluller rore si reel court this morning and held until November 20 for examination. Oaynnr lived at 103 Bergen street and was a special officer attached to Turn Hall on Atlantic avenue, up to the time nan, of the shooting.

He claims that he fol- lowed two suspicious men Into Ihe saloon kent hv Wattenburger at 444 Atlantic and when he demanded that they Is just as important as the other, indeed, It Is argued, the police should naturally be In closer touch with the people than the Fire Department men and It is much more essential that a fully equipped local police headquarters should be maintained in the borough than a headquarters of the Fire Department. Charter Makes a Brooklyn Headquar. ters Mandatory. Bingham has been the first to find that Brooklyn can get along without a resident deputy police commissioner, with a local office, and It Is likely that he will discover that he has made a sad mistake when he expressed his Intention of having the office of the deputy, who is supposed to have charge of the Brooklyn end of the force. In Mulberry street.

There is a general belief that Brooklyn will, soon be without a borough Inspector, for Schmittberger's transfer here is just "temporary," according to the order. The detective bureau will stay, for that Is provided for under the charter of the city, which also provides that there shall be a local headquarters, presumably as fully equipped as headquarters. Concerning the local detective force, section 201 sets forth the makeup of the detective force and proceeds: "A branch office thereof shall be maintained at the police headquarters In I ho Borough of Brooklyn, and other branch offices may be maintained In each of the other boroughs Into which the City of New York Is divided by this act." It will be noticed that the languag" of the section, as fnr as keeping a police headquarters in Brooklyn, is mandatory. The Impression to-day was that Bingham would not dare to cut off Brooklyn police headquarters in violation of the law. MARTYRS MONUMENT DAY.
