Mayor Mitchel announced that he had as yet been unable to determine the cause or fix the blame for the cave-In.

and that he was not going to make any attempt to do so until all the investigations now under way nave been completed. Not Due to Blurt at All, Says Adnnison. Commissioner Adamson does not believe the accident was due to the blasting operations at, all. He bases his belief on the fact that no timbering had been shattered and none of the pavement between the car tracks broken up. The Commlsioner -frankly admitted he was responsible for all blasting operations throughout the city, and issued a statement detailing the precautions his department took to prevent accidents from explosions.

"Only a few days ago," he said, "our Inspector found at the same point where the explosion occurred yesterday that dynamite was being stored in a shanty down in the cut. The powder- was ordered out on to the street. Had it remained In the cut, the accident of yesterday might have been coupled with a terrible explosion."

SNUB TO FRE1FELD ON DIEMER BANNER Republican Alclennaivs Name Coupled With Judge Hylan's in Sixth District. Is Alderman John Werner, the "he-siren" of ftepublk-nn politics in the Sixth Assembly 'District, acordlng to former Assemblyman (ieorge Helberg, trying, to lure the Republican ticket to the rocks of disaster? Mr.

Heiberger who recently charged Dlemer with inspiring his followers in their refusal to sign nominating pc: titions for District Attorney Cropsey, now claims that the Sixth District Re-publican leader Is lending his sanction to the display of campaign banner at Tompkins anfl Myrtle avenues, coupling his name for Alderman with that of County Judge John F. Hylan, candidate on the Democratic slate, to succeed himself on the Bench, and that, despite the fact that Municipal Court Justice lleorgo Frcifeld, who is the Republican- candidate to fill one of County Court vacancies, resijles in Dietner's own banner, according to Heiberger. ifr'at'jtut up' by a man named Ueasley, who is an enrolled Republican and a member. Of Dlemer's club. It bears the legend: choice for County Judge John Hylan.

For Alderman John Dlemer." Justice Freifeld, upon hearing of the incident, immediately called upon Al derman Dlemer and demanded an explanation. The latter's denial of responsibility in the matter il Is said, has not soothed the angry feelings of the Republican candidate. "Beasley may be an enrolled Republican, but it's not true that he's a member of my club," said Mr. Diemer. I can't help what certain individuals do.

I don't know anything about the banner and I'm not responsible for It In any way. "Furthermore. I'm not responsible for what Heiberger says. He's simply looking for notoriety. Two years ago he voted against Mitchel, Prendergast and F'ounds and paraded openly with the Democrats against my candidate.

This year he says he's going to cut me at the polls." "Are you a he-siren?" Deimer was asked. "I am not," replied the Sixth District leader cuttingly. Westbrook Player Makes Score of 89 in Qualifying Round. MISS HVDE DOKS NOT PLAY. Metropolitan Champion Kept Out of Invltntlon Tourney By -Illness.

(Special to The Eagle.) Olen Cove, L. September 23 With Ideal playing conditions, a field of forty-seven women golfers of the metropolitan district started play this morning in the annual Invitation golf tournament over the links of the Nas sau Country Club. The course is in excellent shape for the playing, and today it presented a particularly attractive appearance.

Henry L. Batterman and Mrs. Louis W. Noel of the home club. Although one of the.

entrants, Miss Lillian B. Hyde, the metropolitan champion, withdrew owing to illness. Her absence disappointed the lovers of the game, who had hoped to see Miss Hyde and Miss Georgianna M. Bishop of Brooklyn in the first division. Miss Bishop was one of those who started early and went out In 48.

Miss Marlon Holllns, ex-metropolltan champion, started out early, paired with Mrs. Sawyer Glllison of Santa Barbara, Cal. Miss Holllns will not compete in the match play, however, for both she and Mrs. Joseph E. Davis, Piping Rock, will go to the Mineola Fair this afternoon to drive their entrieB in the Horse Show.

Mrs. Howard F. Whitney, Nassau, finished early and. returned a score of 101. Shortly before 1 o'clock Miss Holllns and Miss Bishop finished their qualifying round.

Miss Holllns went out In 44 and back In 45 for 8s, while Miss Bishop went out in 48 and In in the same number, giving her a total of 96. Miss Holllns' score is the lowest in the qualifying round. Her card: Out ,...466766 444 In 6 4 6 5 4 5 ti 45 81 The Scores. Name and club. out.

of i Five Block Radius of Borough Hall Lined With Cars That Are Menace. scggfsts a ukmkdv. Pounds Takes I'p Idea of Vslng Park, Itonr of Hall, or Liberty Street Square. Within a radius of five blocks of Borough Hall more than 300 automobiles arc compelled to stand In the streets during the busy hours of the day because there is no parking place for them. Montague and Remsen streets, from Court to Clinton, are so glutted with machines of every make that they one of the way Garden City used to look on the night before the Vanderbllt cup races.

Often machines are so close together that the tires touch. At noon on any bright day at least fifty automobiles may be found, lining both sides of Montague street In the single block from Court to Clinton streets. Down this narrow lane, between the machines, the Montague street cars are obliged to make their way, almost touching the fenders of the automobiles. It Is a situation which Is fraught with dangerous possibilities, not only to the autoist who may at any moment be called on -to make a sudden turn, but to the motor men, who cannot afford to relax their vigilance for a moment. Not only that but the lack of parking space is a source of great Inconvenience, to autolsts as well as householders.

Suppose a. man, living on Remsen street, drives up to his doorway. In his own car. He finds the space pre-empted by a strange machine which can find no room anywhere else. What ts the result? The Remsen street resident must put his car where there is space for It and walk to his home.

Suppose a man wishes to get to his office on Montague street. He finds that for a block, sometimes two, his path is completely blocked by alien cars. He is obliged to bring his machine to a halt at the rear of the line and walk the rest of the way. This condition, growing dally more serious, was railed to the attention of Borough President Pounds today and It was suggested to him that the small park opposite tsorougn nan, on Joralemon street, or the wide space at Liberty and Fulton streets, where there is practically no traffic, might be conveniently set aside for automobile, parking. "It's a good.

Idea," said Mr. Pounds, "and I am obliged to The Eagle for calling my attention to It. 1 have noticed that the streets are becoming more and more congested with automobiles and I think that something should be" done about it. To set aside a parking space somewhere In the vicinity sounds reasonable and I shall be glad to take the matter up and study the eHuation to see what can be dune." 1 The small on Joralemon street stands Idle- at--the present moment. There Is.

an iron fence around It. It fulfills no function and is simply unutilized alty prpperty. Liberty street, at Fulton, is' one of the widest highways in Brooklyn and there is a mlni- -mnm of trafhc on it. There Is also an element of great dancer to autolsts, as well as pedes trlans, ''in the extraordinary congestion of at the point where Moritaeue and Court streets meet. During the rush hours an average of 200 cars an' hour round tne loop from Fulton street Into Court, and at the same time cars are passing on Fulton street and Court.

In the cramped triangle formed with the loon as bne base and Court and Fulton streets qther tjtere is "street depot" in which more than a hundred persons some time stand waiting many and children among them. It is a trying task for' autdtsts to avoid them and the cars at the same time, and It is a most precarious spot for people waiting for street cars. POLITICAL NOTES The John J.

Germany Stands on the Declaration of London. "For the German Government does rot need to depart from the application of generally recognized rules of the law of maritime war. as the Declaration of London, unless and insofar as an exception based on a treaty is established beyond all doubt.

In the case of the present difference of opinion between the Herman and the American Governments such an exception could nut be taken to be established except on the ground of the arbitral award. Moreover, the disadvantages to Germany which would ensue trom the American interpretation of the treaty stipulations would be so much greater as to be out of proportion to those which the German interpretation would entail for the United States. For whereas the American interpretation would materially impede Germany in her conduct of warfare hardly any particular disadvantage to Amcricau would result from the Gertmn interpretion since they receive full reparation for any property damage sustained. Warning Against Carrying Absolute Contraband. "Nevertheless the German Government, in order to furnish to the American Government evidence of its conciliatory attitude, has issued orders to the German naval forces not to destroy American merchantmen which have loaded conditional contraband, even when the conditions of international law are present, but to permit them to continue their voyage unhindered if it Is not possible to take them into port.

On the other hand, it must reserve to itself the right to destroy vessels carrying absolute contraband wherever such destruction is permissible according to the provisions of the declaration of London." THE FRENCH STATEMENT Paris, September 23, 2:35 p.m. The violent artillery fighting which has characterized the operations in France tor more than three weeks past was continued yesterday and last night at a number of places along the battle line, according to an announcement given out this afternoon by the French War Office.

In what purports to be a copy of Mr. Ferguson's bill against the pastor, it is shown that in 1012 $1,733.33 was charged as "proportion of office rent, four months at Marbrldge Building; $400, and eight months in the Singer Building," and $1,810 as "proportion salaries of stenograpners, eighteen week at $23 per week, and thirty-four weeks at $40 per week." The other yearly charges for office rent and the like are not nearly as large.

Mr. Ferguson's statement In this connection follows: "In refrrence to General King's apparent confusion as to my financial statement of my transactions with Dr. Hlllls, In, which he alleges that there are some Items which he does not understand, this is not to be at all wondered at. for he has no rent familiarity with the affairs of Dr. Hlllls or my part in the administration of the same.

"As to the particular Items in which he takes exception In reference to my having charged Dr. Hlllls some thing In excess for the clerical work and office rent, all I need to say is it was not to be expected that would furnish free of cost to Dr. Hlllls an office the necessary clerleal help for the conduct of his extensive business operations, and particularly for the promotion of any of the timber companies, which were entirely his wn. It is sufficient for, me to say that the charges oh account of clerical help and ottlce rent do not cover all vhich should have been proportion, as all the employees in office will testify and as the voluminous correspondence would indicate. "Moreover, it is difficult to reconcile the views of the various attorneys of Dr.

Hlllls. whom hehas been employing during recent months. Generad King seems to take one tHe case, although I was nounea-uy Hulls that ho was not his attorney, It may be sufficient for me, therefore, to quote from a proposition for-- a settlement of the dispute between, Dr. Hlllls and myself which Fred W. H(nrich, as his authorized attorney, made to me, for Mr.

Hlnrichs came to-me and stated that he had in Drs Hillis' own handwriting the authority to propose and effect a settlement with me and tit his affairs in general. The Is a quotation- from "the proposition which Mr. as-attorney fur Dr. Hillis, made to me, and which, for reasons that require more space than your article would give me today, I declined: 'Upon a review of the history of the transactions between. prHJUis and Mr.

Ferguson: a review by-no means exhaust ive, yet sufficient for general understanding of their relations during the past five years. I am free to say that Mr. Ferguson; 'nas performed a great deal Jiurden-sojne, sometimes. ditlitjult, which deserves recognition and sub-stantlal compensation. I am also '-'of the opinion that a part of the expenses of his office was due to such "As another part of the proposed settlement which Mr.

Hlnrichs submit teil 1 niiote tlie fnllowtncr-, It Is understood that Mr. Fergu son will give information to in other ways from time to time assist me, or whosoever may be the legal adviser of Dr. Hillis, in arranging Dr. Hillis' involved affairs, the amount of such assistance being left entirely to the goodwill of Mr.jFepgu-son.' A copy ot the power of attorney under which Mr. Ferguson- acted for Dr.

Hlllls was made public today by General King. It was executed on June 14, 1910, and was revoked on February 17, of this year. No power of attorney could give greater freedom of action or could convey any greater powers, and there is also granted specific authority to borrow upon the security of Dr. Hillis' bi)id and mortgage up to $60,000. Fred A.

Patrick Slunds by Dr. Hlllls. Fred A. Patrick, Dr. Hlllis'-broth-er-in-law.

today expressed confidence in the minister and decried the abuse he has received from the, hands of former friends. According to letters that were made public by Frank D. Ferguson, Mr. Pa trick and his father, It. M.

Ph trick, had warned the paslor as early as July, 1913, against speculating. Pa-. I rick, who is at the Biltmore. said: am not prepared lo say whether the letters referred to are authentic or otherwise, but I can say that while the father and the brothers of Mrs. Hillis feel that be may have made some serious mistakes from a business standpoint, they have absolute confidence In his integrity, and they also feel that he has been cruelly misused by parties from whom he had every reason to expect very different treatment."
