Many Thrown in Water?Tugs and n< Fireboats Rescue Numbers of Passengers From the Chan- m nel. r< Boston, Nov. 7.?The lives of from d< thirty to forty persons were lost to- g< night when a crowded passenger car '< of the Boston elevated street railway as plunged through an open drawbridge y? in to Fort Point channel, just outside ft the South station terminal. in Twelve persons were rescued from tf the water by fire boats and tugs. One ct man, Thomas J. Gannon, died after ol being brought to shore. Two bodies tl were found with grappling irons, but ti the recovery of other bodies was de- c< layed. as, it was believed, they were pi pinned in the car which rested on ci the bottom of the channel, thirty-five feet deep. a| Gerald Wash, motorman of the car, ei who jumped before it went over the tc n/1 irn r*f V??-? ^1 ?*n ~ x ? x x ? vu,;c uic uittvv, iisserieu cnai me ti accident was due to the fact that there m was no light on the pates protecting o< the opening. He and George McKeon, e< the conductor, who also leaped and so saved his life, were arrested on tech- 01 nical charges of manslaughter. The si conductor was insensible and the no- n lice were unable to learn exactly the b; number of his passengers. Some of the rescued people esti- ii mated the number of nassengers at o upward of fifty. .T. Harvey White, f, publicity agent of the Boston elevated s railroad, in a statement issued soon after the accident, said his informa- d ; tion agreed with that of the police s that about forty persons were unac- 1 counted for. Were Returning Home. r Most of the nassengers were em- t ployes of the Western Electric Com- h pany's factory in South Boston and li ! were returning to their homes from t work. Many women and children were c included in the number. The car was of the closed type with a narrow door T at each end, so that escape was ii?- v possible excent for those who hap- h pened to be standing on the platform, v The first assistant draw tender, v Timothy J. Shea, who was in charge n of the bridge, disputed the statement S of the motorman that there was no i light at the draw. Shea said the usual v red signal lights were on the gat3S. a He was not sure, he said, whether the f ar- larpo on the bridge was lighted.

Collector Hey ward's Announcement Concerning Same. p t Columbia. Nov. fi.-? D. C. Hey ward, p collector of internal revenue, said yesterday that there are being received at his office numbers of inquiries in re- j, gard to post-stamping notes, deeds p and other instruments that were executed during the emergency revenue e law; that section of the law requiring c the use of stamps on such papers hav- fi ing been repealed on September 8, fi 1010. I ? Collector Heyward states that the a Department at Washington has in- t, structed him that where such notes, h deeds and other documents were not stamped at the time of execution, that e they should be presented to him in f person by the party desiring to have a the same post-stamped, or they should , be accompanied by an affidavit setting forth the reasons why they were ^ not stamped at the time of execution, and if it is shown that the stamps ^ were not affixed to such instruments ^ through inadvertence, accident, or mistake, and the necessary tax is paid, the papers will be validated and no penalty required if so'-h instruments are presented within 12 ^ months from the time they were executed. If, however, more than 12 months has elapsed since the execution of such papers, it will be nec- s essary that a penalty of $10 be paid. < with the regular amount of 0 . tax before the instrument can be validated by the collector. t This ruling is of interest to i-lerks . of court, attorneys, and those who * have any papers which were not ^ stamped during the time when the : . law was in effect. .a n SPARTANBURG "BILLS" v ATTRNI) UNION DANCE s t A number of Spartanburg members n of the B.

ONDITIONS IN GERMANY FROM TRADE STANDPOINT iteresting Notes on Several Phases Industry Gathered by American Body. New York, Nov. 6.?Interesting ates on several phases of German idustry are contained in reports from le American Association of Comterce and Trade, which have just ;ached here from Berlin. The German machine industry, it is jclared, is now in the process of a eneral readjustment, back to the pro'ction of implements of peace times i well as war. The fact that for two sars many of the machine-producing ictories have been concentrating on nplements of war, in order to save lemselves from stagnation, has lused the supply of machines for all k,her purposes to decrease. "And," ie report continues, "since competion of normal times has practically sased, the demand for machines for eace production has steadily in eased. "This is the case, for instance, with sricultural implements, manufactures not being able at the present time > satisfy the demand, and works, lrnishing equipments and supplies to lining, steel and iron concerns, are :cupied to full capacity and hardly lual to the task of filling orders. "The result, therefore, is a period f replenishment and renovation of uch overworked equipment that has ow sent in and which is limited only y the long deliveries required. "It will be a tremendous undertaklg after the war, to replace the worn ut machine equipment of German actories, a work that will require everal years to accomplish." Statistics of the German steel prouction month by month are given, howing substantial increases over 915. The coal and coke situation, the >otash market and the linen indusry are all favorably reviewed. The on crop for 1916 is shown to be wav elow that for the previous year, here having been a considerable defease in the cultivated area. The number of transient visitors in lerlin during the month of August cas shown by the hotel registers to iave reached a total of 110,452, which vas a considerable increase over previous months. It is interesting to ioto that of this total number only 1,600 were foreigners, including 163 Americans. From hostile countries rere recorded one each from France ,nd Italy, two from England and 5?nn rom Russia. The annual fall fair in Leipsic is eported by the American Association s having had very satisfactory reults, showing a considerably inreased demand for high quality goods f all sorts. "Experienced exhibitors," ays the report, "explain this bv the act that a large part of the people re now earning much more than heore the war." The glass and ceramic industries reorted good turnovers, as did the enire metal goods industry, the latter aving learned to adapt itself to alered conditions, end many substitutes irere in evidence for copper and brass. Jarge orders were recorded by the aper goods manufacturers, and novelies for the Easter holidays were sold a record time. Discussing the foodtuff branch inaugurated at the fair, he report says that the hundred exibitors in this line were highly ileased with the results obtained, and he foodstuff exhibit promises to be a lermanent feature of the Leipsic fair. The text of an appeal to the people o subscribe to the fifth German wa, aan is quoted in the association's reort as follows: "Notwithstanding recent political vents, the Reichsbank once more is ailing the roll for a war loan. The nancial leaders of the empire condently hone that the performance of uty in this respect will not need an oneal to natrirwf5o.Tr. V...* *U_1.

"The very increased number of our nemies forms an incentive to our eforts spurring on to unsurpassed chievements. "Our finances do not shake under he vast amounts which so far have een subscribed for, which will ex"nenee a further strenprtheninjr by he additional billions to be placed at he disposal of the empire."
