FELL SENSELESS ON STATION.

Agent Refused to Allow Use of Telephone to Call a Physician. James A. Cartwrlght of 571 Eighth street, associated In an executive capacity with the French Commission, died on the platform of the subway station at 110th street, Manhattan, last night, of acute indigestion. He had been visiting Miss Katherlne O'Reilly at her home, Cordler place, near Yonkers, and toward 10 o'clock last night he complained of being ill. When he was leaving for home Miss O'Reilly decided to accompany hira part pf the way.

They boarded the subway, and as the train reached the 116th street sta. tlon Mr. Cartwrlght toppled over unconscious. When the train reached 110th street several passengers carried him to the bench on the subway platform, and Miss O'Reilly rushed to the ticket agent and asked if she might use the telephone in the booth to summon a physician. According to Muu O'Reilly the ticket agent refused to allow her to use the telephone, al though another passenger remonstrat ed wun me man lor his obstinacy in the face of such an urgent case, "even though there is a definite rule regard-ing the use of the station telephone for another purpose than railroad matters." Miss O'Rellry then rushed to the street and met a policeman near the subway entrance, who summoned an ambulance.

When the ambulance sur. geon arrived and examined Mr. Cart-wright be pronounced him dead. The passengers who surrounded the dying man were very indignant at the conduct of the station agent and several of them said that they would bring the matter to the attention of the railroad officials. The Rev.

Joseph J. Murphy, assistant rector of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Twenty-first street, this borough, a lifelong friend of Mr. Cart-wright, who had been telephoned to by Miss O'Reilly, made the trip to tho dying man in a taxicab and administered conditional extreme unction at the platform station. Mr.

Cartwrlght was 40 years old and had lived all his life in Brooklyn, with the exception of three years' residence in Philadelphia. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Cart-wright, who lived for many years in Carroll street, near Eighth avenue.

He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Vincent F. Dunne of 05 Eighth avenue; Mrs. Chatles W. McKeon of 671 Eighth street, with whom he lived, and Mrs.

C. BRAINKRD. Washington, June 24 Although the hazards in military aviation are not to be lightly regarded, the experience of the United States after more than a year of warfare haa shown them to be much less than the popular conception. This applies to training work and does not take into account actual service at the front Frequent reports from the training fields in this country, announc ing the death of a graduate flyer or a pupil, and sometimes as many as four or five deaths in one day, produce an impression that a large number of young men are losing their lives in learning bow to operate airplanes or teach others. This is not the case, when the nun ber of fatalities is taken into account with the number of men who are fly ing.

During a period of more than a year, from May 16, 1917. to June 7. 1918, there were a total of 142 deaths due to accident at American flying fields. During a practically identical period of time, ending on May 25 of this year, the United States Army trained and graduated 5.233 aviators. In producing that number of qualified aviators the fatalities among Army flying men were less than 3 per cent For every man killed in an accident thirty-seven were turned into expert viators, who are now in the service of the United States.

The proportion of fatalities is really much lower, if the number of men who are flying but are not graduated is considered. The last available figures made up to May 25 last show that at primary flying fields in this country there were 3,398 men, most of whom are probably daily in the air. At the ground schools, where aviators go through a preliminary course of instruction before they begin to fly, there were 3.394. Awaiting assignment to the ground schools, after having passed their physical and mental tests, were 4,236 men. Considering the vast personnel of officers and enlisted men, now in excess of 140,000, all of which has been built ud since the United States entered the war, a total of 142 fatalities at the home flying schools is regarded as rea sonably small; in fact, considerably less than was expected when America embarked upon the flying enterprise on a creat scale.

At the beginning of the war the United States Army had two flying fields. Today it has twenty-seven. It began with no ground schools at all and now has seven. It had seventy- three military aviators, and now it has 6.233. It had 1.MMI enlisted men, and now it has 137,363 in the aviation service.

It had no non-flying officers at the beginning of the war, and now haa 4,992. Many of the latter are observers. The total number of aviators at advanced flying schools is now more than a thousand, while there were 1.746 American aviators abroad on May 25 lant. Up to May 25 the Government had ntuHllv disbursed on the airplane pro duction program $357,894,470, and had obligated itself to spend a total or 839.974. Of the amount spent thus far $58,019,752 has gone for planes, propellers and spare parts; $45,213,541 for engines and spare parts; $881,201 for balloons; $28,534,211 for machine guns, ammunition and bombs; $11,110,661 for general equipment, including instruments; $1,481,476 for clothing.

STARTED IN QUEENS Byron Newton Is Being Put Forth by Friends for Nomination.

URGE WASHINGTON FAVOR. Barkers Claim Queens and Tammany Organization Scpport for Their Candidate. Byron R. Newton of Bayside. Col-lector of Customs of New York, is being boomed for the Democratic nomination for Governor, by his friends.

Probably the most significant Importance of the move to nominate Collector Newton lies in the fact that, according to his friends, Theofel, Con nolly and Smedley are believed to be acting with the approval of Leader Murphy of Tammany and Leader Mc Cooey of Brooklyn in the plan to offer as the regular organization choice (or Governor the one man in the State whom it is believed President Wilson would choose for Governor if the selection were left wholly to him. Most interesting in this connection Is the absolute certainty that the suggestion of Newton for Governor is wholly a Tammany movement up to this time and that even Mr. Newton himself knows nothing of it from the men who are putting his selection forward. v.v nitina ths flmfr election of Pres ident Wilson there has been an open hostility between Washington and Fourteenth street that at times hus been carried to the most strenuous kind of political fighting. After a careful survey of the eligible possibilities, Byron R.

Newton, then Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, was appointed Collector of Customs of New York. Collector Newton was born and raised up State in Allegany County, Byron Newton. and after finishing college, moved to Buffalo, where for over ten years he was one of the most Influential newspaper men of the State and recognized as a capable, political and economic writer. In 1902, he came to New York as a political writer. When Secretary of Treasury McAdoo, William F.

Mc. Coombs and others first set out to nominate Woodrow Wilson for Presi-dent Newton conducted the publicity campaign. After the election of President Wilson and the appointment of Mr. McAdoo as Secretary of the Mr. Newton was selected as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and until he was appointed to his present place, was Secretary McAdoo's chief adviser and executive.

As Queens County Is now one of the strongest Democratic communities In the country, the local boomers of Newton believe that the governorship should come there. Connolly Denies Support, Borough President Connolly, when Interviewed at noon today, held a conference with another Queens leader, and then issued the following statement: "The Democratic Organization of Queens has not endorsed any candidate for Governor and has committed itself to none. I have heard that Collector Newton has been urged by his friends as a candidate. He is a high class man and a resident of our borough and, of course, Queens would be greatly pleased if a candidate for Governor was selected from among its citizens. However, no action has been taken with a view of committing the organization to the candidacy of any one.

What the attitude of the Queens administration will be at the conference to be held has not as yet been decided."

June haa been a remarkably cool month. New York has not experienced such wintry weather as that of yesterday since the United States Weather Bureau began keeping records forty-six years ago.

and to 53 at noon. From then on the day grew gradually warmer, but at that it hovered around 55 and 68. A 62-mile an hour wind from the northwest sent chills through everybody clad in summer attire. MISS MAY E.R0ARTY, SUFF. LEADER, DIES President of 17th A.

D. Women's Democratic Club Succumbs to Heart Disease. WAS TAKEN ILL SUDDENLY. Active in Suffrage Circles for Years. Noted for Her Interest in -Charity Work.

One of Brooklyn's most prominent suffragists, Miss May E. Roarty, president of the Woman's Democratic; Or. ganlzation of the Seventeenth Assembly District, died yesterday from heart disease at her home, 206 Lex-ingtona venue. Miss Roarty's sudden death was a surprise to her many friends, for until Saturday night she was active in her organization and at. tended a meeting that very night.

Saturday night she felt ill, her brother, John P. Roarty, said today, and took a little medicine her physician had prescribed. When he went to call her in the morning, Mr. Roarty found her dying. Then the brother told of the useful life Miss Raorty had led for over a score of years.

There was no charitable neighborhod undertaking that she was not interested in. During the paat winter, when the coal situation was so acute among the poor of her district, she succeeded in getting several tons of coal and personally superintended its distribution. When clothing was needed for the very poor in her neighborhood, she played the part of the good Samaritan. The prime interest of her life, since she was graduated from Erasmus Hall High School was woman suffrage. In this field she won the admiration of all who worked with her.

In addition to an active business life, she became an untiring worker for "the cause" and when the vote was won her diligence was rewarded with the presidency of the organization in her diBtrict. She was also made a member of the Senate Committee, and an executive member of the Brooklyn Suffrage Association. Her funeral services will be held in the Church of the Nativity, of which she was long a prominent member. The Itev. Dr.

John L. Belford will celebrate the requiem mass on Wednesday at 10 a.m. A delegation of women from the Democratic organization is expected to march in honor of their late leader from her home on Lextnc- Ito navenue to the church. Interment will be made In Holy Gross Cemetery. Miss Roarty is survived by hei mother, Mrs.

Mary Alice Roarty: her sister. Miss Helen M. Roarty, and her brother. John F. Roartv, and a sister, Mirs.

Charles Filteau, who lives in Canada. HEARING ON CANL PLAN At the meeting of the Board of Estimate on Friday a communication was received from Brigadier General Theodore A. Bingham, U.

At 11 a.m. today the thermometer here registered 64 degrees, which is around normal, and the balance of the day was comfortably cool. The Weather Bureau promises warm weather from now on so those people who got out their winter flannels and overcoats yesterday can put them back where they belong. The average temperature yesterday was 18 degrees below normal. The average yesterday was 53 degrees.

A year ago it was 76, thirty-three years back it was 78 degrees, so you see the day was some surprise party. A few weeks longer wil probably bring the sweltering days and nights and the crowds will hustle for sleeping room on the beaches and on the park meadows. Then we will be wishing for some of that June 23 temperature. The weather forecaster attributes the cold snap to a storm which moved east from the Great Lakes and last night he went so far as to issue a frost warning for the northern part of Eastern New York. Today, however, he said there was no danger and all the hosts of war gardeners can go ahead with their farming and if they are real smart may reap two crops of vegetables.

COAL OUTPUT INCREASES Washington, June 24 American miners continued their record produc- tion of bituminous coal last week by turning out 12,671,000 tons, an increase of 170,000 tons over the high mark of the week before and 1,137,000 tons in excess of the output during the aaiiiv ween iiul jom. Improved supply of coal cars and better labor conditions were largely responsible for the gain In production in the week ended June 8, the first week when bituminous production exceeded 12,000,000 tons.

We are also distributing through societies act ing for the departments of the Alsne, Marne, and Somme, where the evacuating refugees are in greatest need." Since the beginning of the German drives last March the Paris commit, tee of the fund has devoted its ener. gies to caring for the refugee children of the bombarded sections, while the committee here haa bent its activities to securing the necessary money to support the work.
