W. Creuz-baur, consulting engineer of the borough, was called In, and he said that the contractors could use either the tunnel or Ihe open-ditch plan, but that the latter was the quicker way. He explained, In the course of the discussion, that the South Portland avenue section, which had not been advertised, Is so far beneath the surface of the street that it would be cheaper to tunnel it than to cut so deep a ditch as would be necessary. It would cost an extra $75,000 to tunnel Gold street. He disputed the claim of the delegation of taxpayers that their section would not be beneflted.

The delegation went away threatening that injunction proceedings might be started. Gold Street Protective Association.

Under the pressure i at the local situation, there was Indignant talk in the Fifth Ward against the posl- i tlon assumed by Borough President Coler. It was remembered, and talked about, thtt Mr. Coler had said In meetings In the ward last winter how much be was going to do for the section, and surprise was expressed at his stand regarding the proposed construction with open work. On July 31 last bids were opened for the construction, as readvertlsed, and there were Ave bidders, the lowest, by John J. Creem, with $603,809 as cost for the work.

The sewer was to be about 13ft feet Id height, with two sections, one running along Gold street and the other, branching off at Johnson street and extending to Hudson avenue. Through Gold street It runs to the East River, extending 165 feet Into the river at a depth of 9 to 10 feet below low water. The contract called for the completion of the work in 360 days a little more than a year. One Previous Accident. There was a serious accident in the sewer at Johnson street, near Hudson avenue, on the forenoon of Agust 6.

Four Italian laborers were working in the deep trench In a continuation of the Gold street sewer when they were overwhelmed by a rain of dirt and bowlders, the contents of a huge Iron bucket containing about a ton of material. The trench was about 20 feet In depth at that spot. Into huge Iron buckets the men were shoveling dirt and stone, when the bucket as it rose tilted the mass on the workmen. All of the Ave men suffered from scalp wounds and shock, besides other Injuries, and they were taken to a hospital. Roger" Haggerty, contractors, of 298 Gold street.

Their foreman, Thomas Kennedy, of 430 East One Hundred and Fifty-fourth street, Manhattan, was arrested; but, as there was no evidence of blame on the part of the persons in charge of the work, there was no prosecution. GENERAL JOURDAN EXPLAINS. Precautions of Gas Company May Have Saved Life Sure Gas Didn't Cause Wreck. That there were no cases of asphyxiation reported to the police during last night that could be In any way attributable to the concussion or other actuating cause that destroyed the big intercepting sewer at the Junction of Gold and Front streets yesterday morning is undoubtedly due to the precautionary measures taken by General Jourdan, president of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company. As soon as he became aware of the big break in two of the company's mains as a result of yesterday's accident, General Jourdan called upon tho telephone company and the police to co-operate with his own employes in notifying as many of tha company's subscribers as sossible to make sure that all of tne T.

i nt? tOP COCKS 1U woio The general fesfred that a lessening of the pressure in tne mains wigm lighted Jets to go out and that a resumption nt the nressure would consequently cause an escaping of gas, unless the Jets had been watched and the stop-cocks turned off. Pursuant to General Jourdan the telephone company set sixty girt operators to work. The telephone company was notified at noon and Immediately sent a call for reserve operators from all of the branch exchanges to report to the main office and without interfering with the routine business of the day a total of 10,000 calls was made. General Jourdan to-aay repeated uw nt vesterday that no explosion of gas occurred, and that the gas only became ignited in some mysierious manner after the tw6 mains had been broken. "The cause of the catastrophe," said the general, "came far below tne sunace oi the street.

Just wnat it was may neve-be known. But that it did not occur in either of our mains is positive. "One of these mains we had lifted out of the excavation and had laid temporarily on the sidewalk outside of the sheet piling. The other was held suspended in the air two and one-half feet below the surface of the street Just inside of the piling. We had never been notified of any leak in the vicinity.

And if a leak had occurred we would not have waited for any notification from any outside party, as we always have inspectors on duty around such work as was being prosecuted In Gold street where our mains had become exposed. It is preposterous to say that we were in any way cureless or responsible for the accident. "Our normal pressure was resumed by 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. We called upon the telephone company and the police to eld us in notifying our subscribers of the accident and cautioning them to be careful merely as a precaution against further escape of gas and possible asphyxiation. The work was done so thoroughly that this morning we have not received a single complaint as to last night's service." CELL FOR LUCKLESS WOMEN.

A nathetle Incident of the Gold street fatality came to light in the Adams It, street police court this afternoon, when two women, sisters, were arraigned be fore Magistrate Tighe on a charge of intoxication. The prisoners were Mrs. Helen Perry, 36, and Mrs. Margaret George, 37.

SOLDIERS KEEP BACK CROWDS Two Empresses, Thirteen Grand Dukes and One Hundred Generals in Procession. St. Petersburg, November 21 The body of Grand Duke Alexis, an uncle of the Emperor of Russia, who died recently in Paris, was Interred to-day In the new mausoleum of the Romanoffs within the fortress of St.

Peter and St. Paul, and Nicholas, the Russian Emperor, followed the coffin on foot through the crowded and silent streets of his capital. His Majesty walked thus from the railroad station to the fortress, a distance of three miles. In spite of the apprehensions for the safety of the Emperor, there was no untoward Incident. His majesty was accompanied by a suite of thirteen grand dukes and 100 generals and admirals.

The metropolitans of St. Petersburg and Moscow and the most prominent bishops of the Orthodox Church participated In the services. The two empresses and a number of the grand duchesses mej the remains at the railroad station, where they arrived from Paris, and followed In carriages behind the other mourners. The police and military authorities had taken extreme precautions to prevent any Terrorist attempt. The route of march was lined for the entire distance on either side by living walls of troops, which made any attempt on the life of his majesty practically impossible.

The line of march was down the Nevskl Prospekt, the principal thoroughfare of the city; through Save-via street to the Field of Mars, and thence over the Bridge of the Trinity to the fortress. Long before daylight the streets of St. Petersburg were alive with troops proceeding in the direction of the station. The entire Guard Corps, Including the garrisons of Peterhof and Gatcbina, turned out for the occasion, and the route was shut In by a wall of men and horses two deep. Notable among the trnnna n-a a tha PflvlnvnlfV Ppeimfint.

In uniforms resembling those of the Hesj sians In the American Revolution; yw Horse Guards, in gold and silver breafet-plates; the Hussars, in their brilliant trimmings, and mounted They guarded long Btretches of the 1 Ae, which was completed by the less picturesque infantry regiments and tlie cadets of the military and naval academies. As a precautionary measure, the spectators wero kept always at jeast twenty feet behind the troops. In spite of the eaply hour great crowds turned out to witness the parade, especially along the Nevskl Prospekt. The prevailing desire seemed to be to get a glimpse of tbi Emperor, who has hardly been seen the residents of St. Petersburg for (ten years.

There were no demonstrations of any kind and it was only Wry occasionally that any hostile remarks were heard. Trie funeral train from the frontier arrived punctually on time. The Emperor and the Grand Dukes entered the railroad station together and shortly afterward emerged bearing the easket on their shoulders. After a short service the coffin was placed on an open hearse and the cortege started. A delegation of officers from the Prussian Regiment, of which Grand Duke Alexis was honorary chief, walked with the Emperor and his suite.

The escort of honor was composed of detachments from various Russian regiments and It was followed by the carriages bearing the two Empresses and the Grand Duchesses. The streets of the city were white with snow and along tho line of march they were strewn with green twigs emblematic of the Resurrection. Brief halts were made before four churches, where the clergy and choirs chanted the requiem. The guns of the fortress were fired In salute as the procession crossed the frozen Neva. The men and women of the court, together with the members of the diplomatic corps, including John W.

Riddle, the American Ambassador, had assembled In the Cathedral within the fortress. The final funeral services there were conducted In the presence of the highest representatives of the church and the state. The two metropolitans and the imperial choir chanted the long and beautiful Russian funeral liturgy. There was a most impressive moment at the end of the service when the entire assemblage, holding burning tapers in their hands, sank upon their knees and prayed for the repose of the soul of Alexis. After this the Emperor and the members of the Imperial family advanced and kissed the forehead of Alexis.

The coffin was then closed and carried to the adjacent mausoleum where, after a second brief service, it was interred beneath a marble sarcophagus. At the conclusion of the funeral services the members of the imperial family had lunch at the Winter Palace after which they returned to Tsarskoe-Selo. SYRACUSE VS. MICHIGAN. Both Teams Confident of Winning Clash Between the East and West.

Syracuse, N. November 21 In a battle which will end tho football season for both contesting elevens, Syracuse University this afternoon meets the University of Michigan In Syracuse. The strife between the West and the East is to-day centered here. Uoth are confident, and supporters of both teams have money to place upon this confidence. The betting is even.

The Wolverines outweigh Syracuse slightly, but Syracuse Is fighting on her own battlefield. The Michigan squad arrived yesterday and Coach Yost gave out the following statement: "If all the men are utile to stay through the entire game I am hopeful. Syracuse has the second best team In the East, without a doubt." Coach Howard Jones of Syracuse Is optimistic. The officials are: Fultz, Brown, referee; Booth, Princeton, umpire; Nelly, West Point, field judge: Turner, Dartmouth, head linesman. Weather conditions are most favorable.

Two Dozen Prominent Brooklynites Go to New Haven in Private Car. Among the many Brooklyn parties which went to the big came was delegation of two dozen members of the Excelsior Club, the majority of which were YaleNilumnl. They had a prlvnte ear nt-tachedo the regular 15 train from the Grand 'Ynirnl and provided with luncheon iron: l) ieioieo's and a l.cr iruiu that famous for break In the line of march. At 1 P.M. the stands were filling rapidly, for the Indian summer sunshine and the soft zephyrs that blew across the smoky Connecticut hills made outdoor life exhilarating and delightful.

The Harvard sido seemed to gather spectators more rapidly than the Yale stands, and the flashes of crimson were more pronounced than the more somber blue across the field. It was estimated that fully 13.000 Crimson adherents came down from Boston. As the great mass grew and grew, Yale gradually gained the ascendancy In the color scheme, and when the stands had reached their limit the blue had overwhelmed the crimson, at least from a spectacular standpoint. Probable Changes in Lineup. The two teams reached their quarters In the locker building.

Just outside the grounds, shortly after 1 P.M., and word soon reached the press stand that Captain Burr of Harvard had finally decided not to start in the game, and that Dunlap would take his jjlaco at left guard. It was also stated that Ver Wlebe would go Into the Crimson's lineup at fullback, although it was rumored earlier lu I he day that Kennard might play In that position. Woodruff Forced to Wait. An incident at the gate which created considerable amusement was that in which former Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff of New York made a.

demand that the gates be opened at once. The management did not budge, and Mr. Woodruff and his party were forced to wait. Mr. Woodruff stood a good deal of jokiug from his friends, which he bore with true Yale fortitude.

Men with megaphones warned people to look carefully at their tickets. Inside other megaphone men directed spectators to their sections. The seating of the crowd moved like clockwork. The Yale band tuned up early and went into action with popular airs. BEFORE THE GAME.

Crowds Out Early and New Haven Presents Customary Football Aspect. New Haven, November 21 One football day in New Haven Is very much like another. The crowd pours in early, marches up and down the streets for a few hours, swarms over the college section and then about noon drifts out by many avenues of approach to Yale Field, the wiser ones taking out their lunches to eat in the open air. Down town restaurants and stores have mora business than they can attend to as the city cannot easily handle for the time being the thousands which suddenly swoop down upon her. This year the percentage of out of town people was greater than ever.

Few New Haveners without college friends had tickets to the game and the railroad had to extend itself to handle the visitors. Thirty-six special trains came in during the forenoon, in the early hours the crowd wore Yale colors mostly. Toward' noon the trains from the East began unloading the supporters of Harvard and Crimson banners and otfrysan-vthemums of ruddy hue aorfi vied with vtho bme da -t'm snat uoticeable color. Banners of other colleges looked lonesome although bravely displayed by loyal supporters of those institutions, the orange and black of Princeton being the most readily recognized. Itinerant merchants lined the sidewalks with souvenirs of the day Hot After Speculators.

Some ticket selling is said to have been In evidence during the morning but many deputy sheriffs and city constablea scurried here and there running down reports that speculators were busy. Arriving college men went to the ticket department to see if any tickets had been returned but this year very few tickets came back. The prospects for the game were everywhere discussed. Yale men were just as confident as those from Cambridge. The belief was that Yale's strength Is pitted against Harvard's speed.

When the college year opened Yale had on paper the best material in years. In the line and behind that bulwark the men were giants for strength among their fellows. These men seasoned by training, and drilled In the fundamentals of football which have been such a factor in years past in Yale's winning games, were sent upon the field to-day. The Icfield is the same as selected for Uis. year's game against Harvard, but which was changed at the last minute before that game owing to an injury to Wheaton.

Harvard was equally confident as her team is pointed to as one of the best developed In years, with men possessed of full knowledge of the game and with the finer points of the revised game thoroughly mastered. Both teams have a strong string of substitutes. Harvard Favorite at 10 to 8. The center of wagering at one of the local hotels was besieged early, Harvard men displaying the most money. The hotting figures quickly jumped from even in Tfi th scarce.

The New York special trains which came in early were loaded down with passengers, and the greater part of them tarried college colors. The advance guard of the phalanx of automobiles got in by 111 o'clock, and the police began the task of directing the machines along certain routes, so as to keep them off the main thoroughfares. The New Haven Automobile Club displayed signs at many points, warning drivers to run slowly and to exercise care, calling attention to the fact that three persons were killed recently on the city streets. Chapel street, leading out to Yale field, was closed most of the day to all vehicular traffic save trolley cars. The parking spaces around Yale field were equal to machines, nnd before the morning was well advanced it was feared that even this area would not be sufficient.

The schedule time for the game to commence was 2 o'clock, and the schedule of trains and the car servi, were plann I with the idea of getting everybody hold ing tickets lo the field fifteen minutes ahead of that hour. In past years good fortune attended the games here in this respect. FOOTBALL RESULT TO-DAY. Siorrs, N'jfnibcr 21 Connc :t.i-cut Agriculture College, 10; Klio-le Island Agricultural College. 12.

COLER INSISTED ON GOLD Though Two Clergymen and Many Citizens Told Him of the Big Gas Main.

While theories are rife as to the cause or causes of the Gold street sewer accident the attitude of those who caused tho sewer to be placed there is Deing looked into. It will be remembered that Borough President Bird S. Coler heard from citizens and from public and semi-public bodies in Brooklyn many protests against the route for the sewer, which was finally fixed in Gold street. Among those most active against the proposition were the Rev. Father Horan of St.

a-'. t. Pajholln nhurch. and the Rev. E.

Cunningham, pastor of the York Street M. E. Churcn. ana tne Taxpayers Astoclatlon. Hearings were had before Public Works Commissioner Dunne, last summer, at which it was de clared that there were many arm uui Important reasons why the proposed sewer should not be put through Gold street.

Not only were there protests against the route then In question, dui It waa also declared that there were other routes that could lust as well, or even better, be taken. It was shown that UoiQ Btreei uau much heavy trucking on it that a big sewer would be In danger; that it was not a wide street, that it already naa db- low its surface a four-foot electric conduit, a two-foot water main and a two-1 niin nnri that it was entirely unsulted for the construction proposed by the borough administration. The line that met with much favor among the protestants against the Gold street route was from South Portland avenue to St. Edwards street, under Fort Greene place to City Park, and across the park to Navy street down to the East River. It was stoutly argued that this line of operation would Involve comparatively little trouble to the people living and doing business along the line, while building was In progress.

Furthermore, and with emphasis, it was declared repeatedly that the route JUBt outlined would be safer to construct than that chosen through Gold street. Protest Against Open Construction. No longer ago than June 20 last a delegation from the Downtown Taxpayers Association called on Public Works Commissioner Dunne and applied to have the Gold street sewer construction done by means of a covered tunnel Instead of with open construction. It would require that the specifications should be changed, however, and Mr. Dunne said that this was Impossible, and declared that It would cost almost twice as much to bore a tunnel for the purpose of constructing the sewer under cover.

A protest was then made by the callers that all of the residents of the section would be seriously affected by the dust and dirt Incident to an open ditch construction, and they wished a more modern method employed. Moreover, business would be impeded for many months by the open method. A similar body from the Downtown Taxpayers Association called on Borough President Coler on the next day, in his office, and a heated discussion was the result. Morris Garlick, heading the delegation, made a speech in favor of tunnel construction, and, when he expressed his surprise that modern methods should not be used, and referred to the utilization, hich he said was proposed of antediluvian ski'l. Mr.

Coler declared that Mr. Gar-lick had used an "Insulting remark." and when Mr. Uarlick proceeded with his spects to the Mayor In these words: "Any man who win siana over nprnnns and irrave 01 hhvduiccu B.

Mr McClellan said he failed to see any politics in directing the work of rescue, and in placing in charge of the work Dr. Bensel, of the one department in the city which had practically unlimited authority in such matters.

thprp At 1 ClOCK. vv X1UU a. nothing had been done," said the mayor. "I came back here and sent Dr. Bensel over as quickly as possible." Mr.

Coler saia ne um um supervision ot Dr. Bensel, as he liked Dr. Bensel personally and regarded it as proper that the work should be done under the supervision of the Department of -a. whlph under the neauti, a city charter, has unrestricted freedom in the matter 01 spending uiuuuj work. But Mr.

Coler did resent the statement that the heads of his borough bureaus squabbled with one another without making any efforts to rescue the burled persons. Mr. Coler produced documentary proof that Superintendent Mooro of the Building Department, long before Mayor McClellan heard of the accident, set in motion the very machinery which is still in use in shoring up houses, streets and excavation walls and in taking out the bodies. Mr. Moore learned of the, accident directly after it occurred, and acted Immediately.

"I decided that the wisest and best course to pursue was to use the facilities on the spot the facilities of the contractors in charge of the sewer work," said Mr. Moore. "I arranged with the contractors to do the work of shoring up houses end the sides ot the excavation. I secured a written agreement from Rodgers Haggerty to that effect. That was done long before noon.

The derrick and other machinery of the contractors was put to work, and their facilities were employed as soon as possible. After Dr. Bensel arrived, he realized, as we had already done, that the bodies could not be taken out until the shoring up was done, and under his supervision the work of the contractors continued." How Police Blundera Delayed the Work of Rescue. The arrest of John J. Haggerty, the contractor who was on the job, was apparently the cause of most of the trouble.
