Easton, Pa., May 4.?"By the evi-, dence before us we conclude that the accident was caused by a defective roadbed," was the finding of the coroner's jury in Phillipsburg, N. J., following the inquest of the victims of the wreck of the Pennsylvania at Martins creek last Saturday. This fin/linor nroc modo in nnnTioofi'rtn TcftVl juuuiu^ n uo xu vvuuvvvxvu ttivu the death of Eleanor Rutherford, the Utica school teacher, who died from her injuries in the Easton hospital. Prosecutor Striker, who assisted Coroner Kinney in his investigation, said he would have liked to have a more explicit verdict. "The case is now up to the grand jury for further investigation if they care to take it," he said. "No one being charged with neglect, there is no one against whom a charge can be made. There was no evidence to show any person charged with the care of the roadbed had any knowledge of a defect, if any there was." Testimony tending to show that ballast had been taken out of the roadbed in order to straighten the tracks, which were from 6 to 12 inches out of line, and that no one had warned the engineer of the special that there was danger ahead was given by Jacob Huff, one of the section men, at the coroner's inquest. Leonard Miller, another section hand, admitted that with a couple of buckets of water the fire which followed the derailment could have been extinguished immediately after the wreck.

Atlanta, May 5.?Mrs. Flora Pittman, 241 Whitehall street, is severely bruised about the body and cut on the face and Police Officer Braselton is minus a considerable portion of. his cuticle as the result of a roughand-tumble fight which occurred between the two in the police patrol wagon when Mrs. Pittman, arrested with friends, for speeding in an automobile, refused to go to the police station. I - It is said that the officer picked her up bodily and threw her into the patrol wagon and that then the investigation to see whether or not Braselton was justified in handling Mrs. Pittman &s roughly as he did. Braselton is also said to have used his club severely and without good cause upon the head of J. T. Tuggle, another member of the party. Mrs. Pittman, who is sufficiently rnnrwraraA fhla mnrniner tn make a statement, declares that she was clubbed unmercifully and cursed by the officer. She is a woman of eminent respectability, and her friends are going to insist on a full-investigation of the whole affair. Disinterested eye-witnesses have been found who declare that the po* lice handled the woman in the roughest possible manner. Finally, after pushing her in the patrol head first, it is said, they took hold of her feet which were hanging out of the back of the patrol, and turned her completely over on her head. Her clothing was torn almost from her body. Her face and hands were bloody, and her features swollen. Mrs. Pittman j says she made no attempt to fight the officer until Braselton had struck | and begun to abuse1 her. Saves Doctor's Bills. If all understood the value of the tomato, and the comparative ease with which it may be grown, no garden would be without, and every family would eat them three times a i day from early June till frost. Their acid-and mineral salts are very valuable, especially in warm climates. A cool, crisp, fresh tomato eaten for breakfast all through the summer is both an appetizer and a corrective that helps to keep the system in order, thereby maintaining health, saving suffering and doctor's bills. /' ~ f v. yim I iway, absolutely wit! uncling counties, anc r rut from this ad. * mm wwm m ? ? w nwvnw ?

Two Men Accused of Dynamiting Times Building. i Los Angeles, Cal., May 5.?John J. , McNamara, secretary of the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers' Association, to-day was formally arraigned before Judge Walter Bordwell of the superior court on charges of murder and dynamiting, and his brother, James B. McNamara, ' i was arraigned on a charge of murder, in connection with the explosion which wrecked the Los Angeles Times on October 1, 1910, and killed 21 men. Ortie E. McManigal was not arraigned. It is not expected that he will make any appearance in court until the trial begins. The day for the McNamara brothers to plead was fixed for June 1. The McNamara brothers, with hands manacled, were brought into court by Sheriff Hammel and three deputies. Assistant District Attorney Ford read all the 19 indictments charging the men with the murder of employes of The Times plant. Accused with the brothers in the indictments were William Caplan, alleged to have been an abettor of James B. McNamara ip the explosion, and four others, one a woman, who were masked by the names of "John Doe," "Richard Roe," "John Stiles" and "Jane Doe." The accusation was followed by a list of the scores of witnesses examined by the grand jurors in the weeks since The Times disaster, and with the. late addition of Ortie E. McManigal, who appeared before the inquisitorial body only yesterday. "Considering the importance of the case and the distance which it may | be necessary to bring witnesses," At! torney Rappaport for the defense said, "I would like to have 30 days) before the pleas are entered." "If you are allowed an unusual imo + r\ anior f Vl Ck r?los)C: ' CQld nrflSP VI1JiV 1>U V/U VUV WMIAVA ^ * v?v I 1 cutor Fredericks, " will you waive the provision of the statute which declares that the men must be tried | within 60 days after they are arraigned?" Rappaport signified his willingness 'and the district attorney said he would consent that the pleas be made on June 1. The other indictments were then read. James B. McNamara was permitted to sit down, and then an indictment was read charging John J. McNamara, Ortie E.

The Columbia St?.te says in 10 years 1,597 negroes, one-half the ne: trrrt nrmnlntinn left the town of ? 7 Beaufort. Where are they? The population of the coast counties of South Carolina has not increased. While Charleston city has gained 3,000 people, the county's population has remained practically stationary and it is said that the colored population of the city has not increased. Certainly there are no evidences that the negroes have increased in the interior of the State, signs pointing directly contrary. In a word, examination of the census figures so far published tend to the conclusion that the publication of the census race figures will reveal that South Carolina is losing a considerable part of its negro population and that the ratio of negroes to whites in the State has grown perceptibly smaller. That the negroes are "thinning out" in what has been regarded the "black district" is of particular interest and significance. Insult to Naval Uniform. New Orleans, May 5.?An alleged insult to the uniform of the United States navy was officially called to the attention of Mayor Behrman today by Capt. J. H. Helm, commander of the New Orleans naval station. The action of Capft. Helm resulted from the refusal of the managers of the Washington Artillery hall, who con-nirrVi + lir Kollo fft AllflW W. T.

Mayor Behrman expressed regret at the occurrence, hut said he knew of no law by which he could control the operation of a private dance hall. 1 "It is an honor to wear the uniform ' j of the United States army or navy," i said the mayor, "especially when the i wearer demeans himself properly."

Washington, May 5.?Congressmen' Sparkman, of Florida,, chairman of I the committee on rivers and harbor* I of the house, has agreed to visit J South Carolina during the month of 9 June with a view of getting acquaint- J ed personally with the river and harbor system of the State. ; He was a member of the commit- fl tee for a number of years before bo- fl ing made chairman, and has in * !>fl general way a good idea of the needs fl of South Carolina rivers and harbors, fl but it is desired that Mr. Sparkman fl come in closer contact with the peo- vB pie of the State, and at the same ;'M time get a more intimate knowledge of its needs with respect to waterways. To this end, Representative . ^ Ellerbe, a member of the rivers and - M harbors committee, has arranged . fl with Mr. Sparkman to have him visit ?ffl the State. fl Mr. Sparkman will first visit Ma- ^fl rion, the home of Mr. Ellerbe, and -'^B from there it is the intention of Mr. ! fl Ellerbe to have him look over the fl projects in his district. When he has fl completed his inspection in Mr. EI- fl lerbe's district, it is proposed to hav? him visit Orangeburg and Columbia I in Mr. Lever's district to look over the Edisto and Congaree rivers, -fl it is likely, if time will permit, thai * Mr. Sparkman will make inspection of other projects in the State.
