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|

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.
The draw tender said that he re- r
""ived a signal about. 5:25 p. m.. from a

STAMPING LEGAL PAPER. "
t
. 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.

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. "
_ , .uv>o?i, "in. mm me will
o take nart in the achievement of an
onorable peace is, at all times, alive.
"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."
