SUED FOR $6,000,000 United Fruit Company Accused of Bribing Costa Rican Government NEW YORK Sept. 12.

A suit involving damages of $6,000,000, in which the United Fruit Company is named as the defendant, and which is based upon the alleged violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law. was filed in the United States Circuit Court todav. The plaintiff is the American Banana Company, which charges that it has been damaged to the extent of $2,000,000 through the acts of the United Fruit Company. The Sherman Anti-Trust law Drovides that the injured party may collect triple damages. The Banana Company had a tract of land near the dividing line between the republics of Costa Rica and Colombia.

It is alleged that soldiers of the Costa Rican Government invaded the plantation and forced the laborers to cease work, later seized a shipload of supplies consigned to the Banana Company. Even up to the present time the Costa Rican troops are alleged to be preventing the raising and gathering" of fruit for export. The plaintiff company declares that it has in its possession positive evidence that these actions were due solely to inducements offered Costa Rica by the United Fruit Company.

"My and a little son, when about a year half old, began to have sores tality, and he also subpenaed nearlv everyone who knew anything about the affair. These included, eye-witnesses and several persons' who had. miraculous escapes from death. In all there were forty-five witnesses examined, the largest number heard in any one case for several years. The inquest was characterized by conflicting testimony and the reticence of many of the witnesses- But the Coroner anticipated and was prepared for such developments and kept the witnesses, particularly the reluctant ones, under cross-examination until he obtained all the information that he possibly could from them.

A majority of the witnesses differed as to how the fatality actually occurred and were practically divided in an effort to place the blame on thosewho were suspected of being responsible. SAFETY GATES WERE RAISED. The persons killed and injured were passengers on a trolley car that was struck by a freight train composed exclusively of what are known as oil cars-Despite the apparent contradictory testimony it as established that the railroad gates had been raised and that the rao-torman of the trolley car had received the signal to proceed across the tracks. He started to do so, but the car, owing to the hood switch slipping off, came to an unexpected standstill on the railroad tracks and the train came along and crashed into it. The mishap to the car was unavoidable, but the collision, the Coroner contended, could have been averted if the train had not been permitted to come forward while the trolley car was; stalled on the tracks.

The slipping of the car's hood switch, had deprived the car of electric power, and if this had not occurred the car could have easily crossed the railroad tracks before the train came along. When the passengers saw that a collision was inevitable they became panic-stricken and fell over each other in a wild rush to escape. Those killed were: William M. Berryman, 39 years old, cf 318 Miekle street, Camden; Julius Bew-er, 57 years old, of 21 19 South Eighteenth street, and Owen Sweeney, 23 years old. of 2522 South Clarion street.

due to the criminal negligence of Dennis Gallagher and Pasqualla Cambollone, employed as watchmen at the crossing by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and both men were subsequently committed to prison pending trial-William Methlie and Charles Grande, rao-torman and conductor of the car that figured in the collision were exonerated and released. on his come out face.
