A dense fog huny over New York harbor and bay this morning, delaying all forma of transportation. Ocean liners due to come over Sandy Hook bar were compelled to anchor off Sandy Hook, lightship after being guided to that point by the fog whis tle ths lightship and to wait beforo venturing among the channels leadilng'to the upper harbor. I Marine observers at Fire Island, Sandy Hook and Navesink highlands, where all Incoming vessels are first sighted, reported that they were unable to see more than a few feet beyond the windows of their Obser'atorlea. Movement of ferryboats and other harbor shipping was much delayed and traffic on many of the railroads and elevated lines leading to the downtown business d.strictp was affected by the fog: i No serious accidents resulted, but one train smashed into the rear end of another on the Fulton street, elevated line In Brooklyn while it was standing at the Saratoga avenue station. The hoods of the cars were smashed and two passengers were bruised, i Traffic on the Fifth avenue elevated line In Brooklyn was suspended for an hour or two by the derailment of two cars of a loaded passenger train at a switch at Thirty sixth street.

No one was Injured. on the Mauretania. Among the vessels delayed la the new Mauretania, from Liverpool, which was expected to arrive this morning. The big" Cunarder has been held back by hlgh seas and fog and what promised to be a rec ord brenkins maiden trip will not be made. Mariners on shore to day thought the Mauretania might not get In until tomorrow morning.

The liner was off Sandy Hook at a. m. Soon after leaving Queenstown last Sunday morning the big. steamer ran Into a severe storm, which lasted the better part of three, days. Terrific bead sias and high gales retarded the splendid speed of the vessel and by the time these conditions changed It was known by means of.

wireless telegraphy that the: west ward record of her sister ship, the Lusltania, could not be eclipsed on this trip. However, the steamer was put' to top' speed, and some balm was offered to tliose on board when the steamer's run for. the fourth day was 6.4 knots, thua topping the Lusitania, which took the blue ribbon for the best day's run on the last voyage, by six knots. The Mauretania ran into a dense fog off the New England coast Inte last nixht. and speed necessarily had to be materially reduced.

Concert and Speeches. A brief wireless dispatch was received here early to day. via the Marconi station at South Welineet, Mass. It told of on cntlui i concert which watswhel i aboard Ian at which Sir Clifton Itobinson presided and addresses were mads by Messrs G. B.

Hunter, S. 8. Mc Clure and Frank W. Doubleday, while Dennis O'Sulllvan, the barytone, sang Kipling songs and Irish ballads. Th marine observer at Sandy Hook reported this morning that the thickest fog In many a day hung over the ocean all along the coast, and that he had looked Into a blank wall of white throughout the night.

Steamers could only crawl in such weather. A later wireless from the. Mauretania stated that the ship might not dock to day. Hih tide is necessary to make It absolutely safe' to bring the big ship up the bay. 'i'he prospects were that the ship would have to wait pntlb the next high tide at p.

in which event, she. may not reach her dock until to morrow morning. Y. M. C.

The committee adjourned yesterday evening until this morning with a prospect that there would be a break between the two sides. When the committee got together this forenoon the workmen had a new proposition to offer and it was this that occupied the attention of the members to day. The fact that this forenoon's session continued ovt the noon hour was taken as an Indication that the opposing factions of the Joint committee might yet come to an agreement.

R(() I JMt 1 Si'V rxP 1 i TT WHY CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK ARE DELAYED SECRETARY OF: ClTIi ZENS GAS COMPANY, EXPLAINS. 5 PAYMENTS MADE REGULARLY We hare had a number of requests," said Secretary J.

D. Forrest, of the Citl xens Gaa Company, "for the certiflcatea to which those who have completed their payments are entitled. I wish you would say to the public, as we have to say to inquirers, that It will taka some Jittle time to. prepare andlaue r' i. a.e.

It would not have been wise have the lithographing in advance because of the loss In the event of failure secure the pipelines. The lithographing requires time, and still more time Is required to brlns up all accounts now In the hands of the Union Trust Company, so that we shall have the exact names and dates. If our stockholders will have a little patience they will find that nothing la lost by the delay in Issuing the certificates; for when they are issued they will bear the date of the final payment on the stock subscriptions. Is Safe. i "Wo are very much gratified that the public feels mo much confidence In the new company that there Is no hesitation about making on subscriptions, In spite of the present flurry.

We have had many people say to ua that they considered their money safer In this company than in any bank, because the mains are worth more to the company than they cost, and they can get away from It. Of course', all of' us believe that every bank in Indianapolis is absolutely sound, and we are willing to take checks on any bank or trust company, even though the money can not be drawn out immediately. our friends are right when they tell us that our stock is so safe that it can not be affected by financial stringencies or business depressions. We have a solid property, and a business which assures us of ample profits for our stockholders. Appreciation of this situation is causing many of our subscribers to make full payment for their stock.

The dividends being cumulative, the stockholder: knows, that they will be computed from the date of issue or his certificate. It Is, therefore, to his advantage to make full payment as rt am nn.elh a V. Ings account at 3 per cent, interest or keep juo money in some otner way at no interest at alb "By the way, this arrangement for allowing eubacribers to anticipate payments may not be continued indefinitely. As soon as the company Is far enough along with its subscriptions and collections to enable the directors to their way clear to meet contract obligations, they will decline to issue certificate until the end of the period provided for in subscription contracts. In such event, prior settle ment in iun wtii not entitle the stockholder to dividends until a date some nine or ten months from the date of his subscription.

The Interests of the company are now furthered by prompt payments and payments in full when the subscriber feel able to make them; but when the company has proceeded somewhat further with) subscriptions and collections it will not be to its Interest to have dividend claims accrue while It does not need the money. We have not yet reached that point, but when we do, we shall have to debar subscribers from the advantages of prtor payments on their subscription, contracts." Obtains More Stock. J. J. Cotter called at the office of the Cltlxens Gas Company yesterday to make his fifth H.000 subscription to the stock of the company.

Mr. Cotter has paid in full for every one of these forty share subscriptions. He waa leaving the city for a trip south and said he was tmxlous to make sure of a round $5,000 of the gas stock before leavir.p, because he did not think there tfouldibe an opportunity to set any of it when he I feel." he said, "that this is a. movement which ought to be encouraged, both on account of the public for cheap gaa and because the wmrw ia organized on the right principles; 1 is also a safe investment, and I hU feel safer while away with my money in this company than I would if it were placed anywhere else." Farmeri Invests 51500. J.

J. Smith, of New Palestine, became interested in the' stock of the Citizens Gaa Company through. Dr. R. W.

Long, who is himself an investor for a considerable amount. Dr. Long told him that the stock of the new gas company Is better than a certified check, end he came In to subscribe for Jl.OCO worth of it, paying for it in full. "I am a mer." aald Mr. Smith, "and I want to Vant where I can count on a safe crop.

I have not always had good crops. hu 2 feel euro that I am planting this Jl.Ooo wisely. I notice that you have about stockholders. That means a safe and you are wise in plai cing your stock among consumers. I am not be a consumer, and am glad that you have not yet closed your subscription books to non residents; but the larger the proportion of stock you keep In Indiana polls the better the investment for the few outsiders who will succeed in securing some of it for themselves."

Ice by the chunk. Instead of being sold by the" gallon, the ton or the pound. Is to be determined by Judge Carter of the Superior Court In disposing of the case of the city against Edgar Sebold. driver for the Standard Oil Company, which this morning. Sebold Is charged with violating the city ordinance which requires the Inspection and sealing of measures.

He Was arrested after having sold three cans of gasoline and one can of coal oil to Mrs. Ella Sprankle, 19 North Warman avenue, September 1, under the representation.

w. of Chicago, and R. G. Collins. of Chicago, general manager of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana.

Crate Bowen, city attorney, and Isldor Wulfson, inspector of weights and measures, are appearing on behalf of the city. The Standard Oil Company, by Its questioning of witnesses and by the opening statement and occasional arguments, made It clear that it expects to prove that the cans in which oil is sold are In no sense "measuring devices, but simply containers. The can of oi), under the counsel's expressed theory, is merely a package, sold as such; not sold as a gallon of 'oiL The city, therefore, the attorneys contend( has no right to inspect and seal anything except the measuring device at the plant from which the cans are filled. The practice "of selling by the can. was adopted by the company following unsuccessful Injunction proceedings In August to prevent the city from interfering with the sale of oil in cans that had not been Sprankle on the! Stand, Mrs.

Sprankle was the first witness. She told of buying the! olL "I asked for three gallons, of gasoline and. one gallon of oil." she. said. Before September, she the company's wagons had borne the notice.

"Gasoline. 16 cents per gallon." Since that time this has been hidden by a notice reading. "Sold only by the can." Charles Hulsman. deputy to Isidor Wulfaon. said he at the Sprankle home the day of the transaction In question.

While the oil was being he said, a woman next door out? "I want two gallons of gasoline." "Ws're not selling by the but the can." the driver. Sebold. answered, according' to the witness. "Looky here." said Mrs, Spanklc, "I wanted three gallons of gasoline and one gal son of coat oil." "Well, you got it, the witness said Sebold answered. "Do these cans hold a gallon?" she asked.

"Yes. ma'am." was his answer. Hula man testified. On cross examination by attornev Shir ley. Hulsman said Wulfson was out look in sr.

for a test case that day. and that Mr. Sprankle had not ben ins'ructel what to ask for, thousrh she had been asked to get the driver's name. He said he had inspected the measuring devices at the plant They held a little more than a gallon when filled to ovcrfiowlnr, he said. A second inspection revealed, he said, that wooden blocks had been suspended bv wires.

Inside the measuring devices. With these blocks in them, he said, the measure held exactly a gallon, when filled until it ran over.
