unfounded newspaper stories serve

JUDGMENT WAS AT FAULT.
——.——
But Engineer Desnvis Not Held Re-
sponsible for Death of Con-
ductor Lynch.
NEW HAVEN, Sept. 3.-—Completing
his investigation into the facts atteud~
ing the death of Jeremiah Lynch, the
freight conductor on the Shore Line
division of the New Haven road who
was killed at Milford on August It.
by the overturning of the engine ‘of
the Providence-Harlem llivor freight
ho was in charge of by a deralling
switch, Deputy Coroner Pond has
made public his finding, declaring
that the evidence did not show that
the death of Lynch was duo to the
criminal act, omission or carelessness
of any one. In the course of the ex-
amination the deputy coroner found
that Engineer Dean, who was running
tho engine of the train, was on the
lookout for signals. that he, saw the
signals correctly. and intended and ex-
pccted to stop his train before reach-
ing the danger signal. Ho finds that
Dean “erred in judgment in the rc-
IIII('LIOII of the speed of his train, in
tho shutting off of steam and in the
application of his brake." He states.
however. that he cannot find that
Dean failed u) recognize his duty or
was inattentive 'to it. “Said Dean."
reads the report, "had made five trips
over the line at said point. and had
had the customary 17 duys‘ instruc-
tion." it is apparent from his atten-
tion to the signals and from his ef-
forts, though inadequate, to stop the
train, that he intended to stop the
train before-said second'home signal
was reached, and believed that said
train would he so stoppcd. His judg-
ment was only at fault, is the sum of
the finding.
The report details the occurrence of
the accident. stating that the engineer
put on a. little air in the air brakes at
a cautionary signal, received a clear
truck signal, and then the next ahead
was the dead stop red. This was at
the derailing switch. and, failing to
make the dead stop, the engine was
derailed and overturned.
At the inquest those examined were
Joseph A. Webb. New London; Daniel
A. Dillon. Bridgeport; William E.
(loss, Nlantic; James F. Shea, Provi-
dence; G. W. Chappell. New Haven,
and Morris K. Dean, Norwich. Engin-
eer Dean is thus exonerated.
MOROCCAN SITUATION.
PARIS, Sept. 2.—-Although the tone
of the French press in Its comments
on the Moroccan situation is still
somewhat excited, the belief prevails
in official circles that Germany's ac-
tion, unless followed up, is not likely
to lead to a grave international inci-
dent. France is confident that none
of the powers will take immediate ac-
tion upon Germany‘s advice and recog-
nize Mulal Hafid. without awaiting the
submission of a list of guarantees to
which France and Spain thing Mulai
should subscribe before he is recog-
nized by Europe.
TROOPS REMAIN AT MINES.
BIRMINGHAM, 'Ala.. Sept. (i.—De-
velopments in the mining field yester-
day caused a revocation of the order
for the removal of the troops on duty
at the various camps. Governor Oom-
er took this action because of the ex»
pressed determination of a number of
the local unions to continue the strike
independently of the national organ-
lsation.
SAYS CONDITIONS ARE BETTER.
.i. P. Morgan Home From a Summer's
Stay In Europe,
NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—Noarly one
thousand cabin passengers arrived
here todny from Europe on the steam
ship Adriatic, among them being U
S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and J
Pierpont Morgan. Mr..Morgan was
'met at Quarantine by his son in lhi
financier's steam yacht Corsair, whicl
was damaged Tuesday in a collision ll
the East River with the New iiatnp
shire.
Mr. Morgan's first questions on at
riving were about his steam yacht, tht
Corsair. which was damaged in col
lision with the steamer NuwHamp
shire. The. Corsair. with her foretopv
mast missing, met the Adriatic in the
bay. As soon as she came alongside
the Adriatic Mr. Morgan inquired the
cause of the accident and whether any
one was killed. On being informed
that there was no fatality and that
the New Hampshire was at fault. he
said: "Well. Mellon will have to pay
for this." Mr. Morgan declined to say
whether he had bought any new pic-
tures while abroad nor would he dis-
cuss either polltics or finance.
Charles Steele. one of Mr, Morgan's
partners, who, also arrived on tilt
Adriatic. said that in England and th(
continent generally -husiness condi.
tions were much better, and that con-
fidence in the retunt of better times in
America was gaining. When told of
the election resultaJn Vermont Mr.
Steele said:
"Well, that is encouraging. Vermont
is a good political barometer,"

STAMFORD, Sept. 3.—-—That Leo Dit.
rlchsteln. the playwright and actor,
seems to be in a or; Ms predicament.
is evident from t c fact that the stu-
tutc under‘which he is being pmsecut-
ed permits the i go who hears the
case no discretion. l’ttdor this ttttutc
Mr. Ditrichstcin will he unabc to
plead provocation us a defence. The
whole question to ho dec dcd is did he.
or did he not. chAlIcng‘ Major I-‘red-
erick Scltavoir togiight a pistol duel.
That he did the state claims it will be
able to prove. for it has its challenge
locked up in a big fireproof safc where
it will remain until it is produced in
court. If found guilty. Mr. Ditrich-
stcin must either pay a fine of $3,000
or go to jail for one year. Those are
the only two dispositions the statute
permits of.
The Advocate has learned on good
authority that the criminal prosecu-
tion will be but the beginning of Mr.
Ditrichstciu's troubles. That he will
be sited for alleged defamation of
character is almost a certainty.
The challenge of Mr. Ditrichstein
sent to Major Schavolr on Auguat 10,
not only asks the major to meet the
playwright in a pistol duel. but it also
reflects seriously on a Stamford wo
man. A person who known all the
ins and outs of the case told an Ad-
vocate reporter this and a good deal
more today:
“Mr. Ditrichsteln has made it I
point," he said. "since he has lived ln
Stamford- to talk about this woman in
objectionable terms. Illa motive for
this was her refusal to receive any
attentions from him. When the an-
onymous letter was sent. to his wife
he evidently thought that he could
square himself of the accusation con-
tained therein and vent his spite or
revenge on her. The charge he
makes against her bears on its face
absurdity and malicious intent. After
the encounter with Major Schavoir he
sent this so-cailed challenge. It con-
tained a repetition of the malicious
charges together with coarse slan-
ders for which the author will he
held responsible. The matter is no
longer a private affair. ,It is now in
the hands of the prosecuting attor-
ney, and he will deal with it as he
sees fit."
Mr. Carter declined, today. to talk
about the case or to make public
Ditrichstein's challenge until he did
so in court. in a statement given out.
last night, Major Schsvoir made it
plain that he had no idea of prosecut-
ing Mr. Ditrichstein and that he made
no complaint to the state. He did
not know the challenge was a crim-
inal act when he gave the letter to Mr.
Carter, at the suggestion of a third
Party. He had no idea that Ditrich-
stein was to be arrested and moment
ed until he saw The Advocate last
night. Here is his statement:
In reply to a request for a state-
ment. Dr. Schavoisnsaid that the letter
containing a secured challenge was
turned over to the prosecuting attor-
ney at the instance of" a third party
and without any request or idea of
causing a prosecution’on that account.
if the prosecuting attorney ’ has
thought it best. and if he feels that
way. it is his duty to institute prosecu-
tion. Major Schavolr. of course. con-
siders it incumbent on him to second
Mr. Carter in the matter. As for the
challenge, Major Schavolr has replied
Io that in hispu'n fashion by a letter
addressed tb-‘Mr. Ditrichstein. which
