NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1914. 3 418,792. husband to died 80t 3 and son ACID FUMES FELL CROWD IN TUNNEL More Than Thirty Persons Overcome When Carboy Breaks in Jersey City. THREE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Ambulance Surgeons Treat Many and Several Are Taken to Hospitals. Jersey City, N. September 24-A carboy containing ten gallons of nitric acid toppled over in the Erie Railroad station here today and poured its contents down the long passageway leading to the Hudson tunnel tube station. Approximately 200 persons were in the passageway as the acid burned its way slowly over the tile floor, and of these more than thirty were overcome by the fumes, three of whom were seriously injured. Almost by a marvel, no one was burned by the acid.

Passengers on the tunnel trains, at least 200 yards from the entrance to the passageway, were affected by the fumes. The ticket choppers and sellers were overcome and for a time traffic was delayed. Many persons who had inhaled the fumes did not at first respond to the poison, but were overcome some time after they had left the station. Two women, apparently uninjured, walked from the station to a ferryboat and entered the cabin. Half way across the river they became unconscious.

Other passengers aboard the ferryboat also became ill. When the boat reached the New York side, physicians who had happened to be aboard said they had treated more than a dozen persons. Mrs. Charles Vreeland and her 4-1 year-old son, of this city, collapsed ten minutes after inhaling the fumes. They were taken to a hospital.

So was Miss Emma B. Allen of New York, who did not notice the effect of the fumes for several minutes but finally became unconscious. Station Master Swann and three of his assistants who aided him in ing the broken carboy to the river, perienced similar attacks of unconsciousness some time after first inhaling the fumes. All were. taken to a hospital.

Every available ambulance in Jersey City was sent to the Erie station, in answer to the first call for help. More than thirty persons were treated by ambulance surgeons. Three persons, who had become unconscious their way across the river to New York. were taken to a hospital in New York City, when the ferry boat landed its passengers there.

Veterans Face Great Heat in Annual Tournament Over Links at Apawamis. (Special to The Eagle.) Apawamis Country Club, Rye, N. September 24-The final round of eighteen holes in the seniors tournament at the Apawamis links began today under a scorching sun. Some of the older players were pretty well fagged out after their round in the heat yesterday. However, they pluckily held to their game, although their shots dellvered with great effort and often with signs of positive discomfort, if not of distress.

The dryRetreat the player, links when made asked one how white- his game was going, reply: "Game, who can have a game on a flint quarry?" One of the poetic elders, who brought in a card nearly a score of strokes over the century mark, was asked how he felt. "Feel? I feel like paraphrasing the lines of Mrs. Hemans exclaiming: 1s the turf, I languish here, Where Is my old, green grass? On 'Twould which I'd never have a fear, roll as it on One of the good scores was the gross 84 of W. H. Claflin Brookline, made as follows: Out 5 6 09 5 5 00 In -43-84 This compares well with C.

In conjunction with today's play is being run off a kickers' handicap. Tho net scores under 160, returned by players who finished the two days' play by noon today, were as follows, today's score coming first, the total gross of two days coming next, and the net coming last: A.

M. Weaver, Chevy Chase, 82. One of the surprises of the day was the card of 82 made by General Weaver, chief of the coast artillery, U. and former chief of the division military affairs, War Department. General Weaver is a member of the Chevy Chase Club at Washington, where admirals and generals are 80 numerous that it is recorded that once when an enraged rear miral grabbed an offending caddie at the home green and swung him around he bowled over thre rear adtwo major generals and one brigadier general.

General Weaver frequently partnered President Taft in four -ball matches when the late Major Archie Butt, who went down on the Titanic, was unable to play with Mr. Taft. General Weaver's card follows: 11111 -19-12 The 8 on this card would have thrown anybody but a soldier off his game. This hole is 548 yards long and named Waterlool, on account of HO many hopes being blasted there. When he carded the eight General Weaver only gave an extra tug at his belt and said: "There is no old guard to order up for a charge, but I'll make those last holes better than Colonel Bogey or die." It was a desperate struggle between these two military gentlemen, but the general won in fine fashion, outflanking the colonel and getting two stroke advantage by makin gthe last four in 6, 3, 5, 4, to the colonel's 4.

"Give me my niblick, caddy," sternly commanded. The caddy handed it out hesitatingly while a look of pain crossed his dirt streaked face, This look impressed the Apawamis veteran, who handed back the niblick, picked out the ball, sadly walked back to the tee and finally carded an 8, two over bogey, The experience was too much for him and a two over bogey figure closed his card. Low Net Made by L. K. Passmore.

The low net of the morning was the late card of L. K. Passmore, Huntingdon Valley, 92, 187, 147, due to a handicap of 20 doubled. This WAN strokes better than the 155 of General Weaver, whose total of 173 was by only 9 doubled. Chief Justice W.

8. Gummere New Jersey, who was the winner 1912, turned total for 136 holes, which, with a handicap of 15 doubled, left him far down the line with net. As Supreme Court Justice Mahion Pitney, whose net of 70 led day's field, was still out at the lunch hour, the 147 of Mr. Passmore was precarious footing. F.

Gerken of Oakland, bringing in an 84 this morning. got fine net for the two days of 148 to a handicap of 18, doubled off a total gross of 184. Up to 1:30 o'clock this was the second best net with Mr. Claflin. Other Long Island golfers in competition made the following scores: 11.

"On August. 6," she said, "we were engaged in acting our war drama near Belfort.

A little Franco -American woman. barely out of her teens, who served for eighteen days as a nurse actually under fire on the line of battle in northeastern France, reached New York on board the French liner Chicago.

She was Mrs. Theresa Berchier of Tuckahoe, formerly of New York City, and she brought a new story of atrocities committed by Germans. In fact, she said her work among the wounded and mutilated had been too much for her and she had to leave the front, facing a nervous breakdown. With Mrs. Berchier on the Chicago were 343 other passengers, most of them Franco-Americans, five of the number being from Brooklyn and Long Island.

They were: Miss Mathilde Metzner of Jamaica, L. I. Mrs. Margaret Robertson Marion Robertson, Southampton. L.

I. Miss Adele Schock, of 106 West avenue, Long Island City. Miss Clotilde Marynus, of Brooklyn. "I understand that Ambassador von Bernstorff and lots of other Germans of prominence are denying that any atrocities are being committed by the German soldiers." said Mrs. Berchier.

"I wish that they would question what I have to tell you, for I have seen all these terrible things with my own eyes. I spent a great part of my eighteen days of service in the General Hospital at Verdun; but I was also right on the firing line a number of times, and farther west was at the front at Complegne and Soissons. "I guess that about the worst thing saw was at Verdun. A little French boy, too young to do any one any harm, was brought into the hospital there with his eyes gouged out and his ears and nose cut off. He was 80 horribly mutilated that the surgeons decided to put him out of his misery and chloroformed him.

I saw the little chap myself and I shall never forget It." As she described conditions at the hospital at Verdun, the losses of the French must have been very large. Every available square inch of room had been utilized, she said, over a thousand wounded men being in the building all the time. Mrs. Berchier also told of marching with the troops for two days and a night, and then having to get her rest by snatching a in a stable where some of the nap troops were quartered. While on this march she saw the French burn the forest of Complegne to help keep off the advancing Germans.

Its loss was in vain, she said: "Quite a number of Belgian refugees came through our lines," said Mrs. Berchier, "and they told many horrible stories, particularly of the German SOME SALES REPORTED. st. 100 ft Graham av, 50x100.

Va. Chartered Land Syndicate, Paul Grout. TRUST CO. BUILDING FOR POLICE COURT City Decides on Purchase of Structure on Williamsburg Bridge Plaza. COST' SAID TO BE $63,000.

Manhattan Avenue Building, Now In Use, No Longer Suitable--Long Controversy Ended. The long-standing controversy over the selection of a new building for the police court that serves the Eastern District and Greenpoint sections has been settled. It became known today that the splendid building of the Williamsburg Trust Company on Driggs avenue between South Fourth and South Fifth streets, facing the Williamsburg Bridge plaza, has been selected by the city authorities. Although no official statement could be obtained as to the amount of money involved in the transaction, it is understood that it will cost the city about $65,000 to purchase the place and remodel it for court purposes. The decision became known when Controller Pendergast forwarded a letter to the Board of Aldermen, asking that body to formally designate the building for courthouse purposes.

This communication has been referred to the Committee of the board and a favorable report is expected at the next meeting. Mr. Prendergast's letter indicates that the city has completed all arrangements for the purchase of the building. The present quarters of the Fifth stuffy little building court, ManhatDistrict magistrate's are In a tan avenue, near Powers street. The possibility of using the Willlamsburg Trust Company building, which had been Ay lying idle for two or three years previously, was taken up.

The price mentioned at that time, 03 covering both the purchase and remodeling of the structure, was $80,000 This was considered altogether too high by the officials and the offer was turned down. more recent plan, which was strongly, advocated, was the purchase city of the property on Bedford avenue, between North First street and Metropolitan avenue, and the erection there of a new police court, police station and firehouse. This, too, was abandoned and finally a few months ago, the advocates the purchase of the bank became active again. The new courthouse is located very centrally for that section on the busy bridge plaza, and is just across from the Eastern District branch office of The Eagle. THE BOARDERS DIDN'T PAY So Mrs.

Bush, Hunngry, Stole and I Pawned Furniture. Left by her benefactress in able surroundings, but with no money or food with which to satisfy her appetite, Mrs. Ruth Bush, a frail little blonde: woman of 26 years, was arraigned before Judge Dike, in the County Court, today, on a charge of larceny and receiving stolen goods. She had appropriated some of the furniture and fine clothes she found in the house she was left to guard, pawned them, and bought food for herself, her 4-year-old son and her 3-monthsold daughter. The benefactress and complaining witness, whose clothing and furniture Mrs.

Bush appropriated, is Mrs. Myra P. Hughes, probation officer of the Island court, and who conducts a boarding house or two A8 a side line. "I was to get a commission on all the money paid in by boarders," said Mrs. Bush, to Judge Dike, today, "but Mrs.

Hughes went away on a vacation and left only 50 cents. When that was eaten up my little boy got hungry and felt weak and couldn't purse my little baby, and the boarders didn't pay any money, and so I had to do it to get something to eat for me and the babies. I know I did wrong, judge, but I am willing to make restitution, I think I can work and the money together 1f I am given a chance." Mr. Bush's plea of guilty was entered and she was kept in custody. By Monday Judge Dike will decide what can best be done for her.

HURD, President Capital and Surplus $8,750,000 184 Montague Brooklyn 59 Liberty New York OUR WORK TO HEAL, SAYS DR. BUTLER President of Columbia Tells of Duty of United States, After the War. President Nicholas Murray Butler, at the opening exercises of Columbia University, yesterday afternoon, delivered an address on the European war and the lessons it is teaching.

He called upon the United States to bind up the wounds of the war and to lead the way in reconstruction, saying that in this country lies the hope of peace. "We are a neutral nation," said Dr. Butler, "and the President has rightly enjoined us all to observe neutrality in speech and deed. But neutrality is not Indifference: it is not the neutrality of the casual passerby; it is the neutrality of a just judge, who aims, without passion or prejudice, to render judgment on the proved facta. "We may yet live to see our great policies of peace, of freedom from entangling alliances, of a world concert instead of an international judiciary and an international police, of co-operation instead of international suspicion, and as a result the world's resources set free to improve the lot of the people, to advance sclence and scholarship and to raise humanity to a level yet unheard of.

Here lies the path of national glory for us, and hers is the call to action in the near future." Dr. Butler spoke to a large class of entering students, as well as many of those who have been in the college before. On the platform were the entire faculty clothed in their academio gowns, and everyone, from the most dignified doctor of philosophy down to the freshman, was moved by the speech the president made. He had been in Europe this summer when war was declared and one of the army of American, tourists who hurried across the ocean to the safety of this country. Dr.

Butler's experiences in Europe had taught him many things, he said, and he realized that the war was not so much a war of peoples as a war of kings. is not Slav or the Teuton, the Latin or the Briton, the Oriental or the Dr. Butler said, "who is the enemy of civilization and culture, Militarism--there is the must not leave off trying. When' exhaustion brings this war to an end, at no distant day, the task of America will be to bind up the war's wounds, to soften the war's animosities, and to lead the way in the colossal work of reconstruction that must follow. Then it our heads are clear.

our hearts strong and our aims unselfish--and if our nation continues to show that it means always to keep its own plighted word. we may gain new honor and imperishable fame for our country."
