Jam on Long Island Road Cripples Service to Manhattan. Commuters entering New York from Long Island were held up from 1 a.m. to 11 am. because of an accident which tied up the westbound tunnel from the Pennsylvania station, near the Sunny-side yard exit. Eastbound trains had to use the other tube along with trains going west, so that the resultant tieup affected practically every passenger on the Manhattan-Jamaica division of the company.

One of a train of empty cars which were being taken from the Suuny-slde yard to Pennsylvania Station through the tunnel Jumped the track and ripped several hundred yards of the third rail from its rupports. No one was hurt. A section gang was put to work immediately, but it was difficult to clear the tube. Commuters Caught In Jam. Meanwhile the heavy early morning rush of commuters had begun.

The road was forced to route all traffic through tunnel No. 4, ordinarily the eastbound tunnel, and the traffic began rapidly to Jam eastward as far as Jamaica. The trains were able to move slowly, but trainmen went through the cars between Jamaica lawyers who are willing to petition WANTED-; One or more the Appellate hear the Gatner Division to name a referee lo charges and statements from others who have evidence of violations of law by "ambulance-chasing" lawyers.

Mack Says He'll Win the Presidency Governor's Speech Eagerly Awaited. Cuvillier's Wet Plan I Killed Kernan Presides.

By WILLIAM WOODFORD. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Albany, Sept. 29 The sir was tingling with expectancy as ths 1,200 delegates filed into the old Harmanus Bleecker Hall this afternoon for the annuat State Democratic convention. The atmosphere was that of a National convention. "What are Al's chances be sleeted President in 1928?" was the question being bandied about by the delegates.

Convention Called to Order. The convention opened at 1:40 o'cloclc when Lieutenant Governor Corning, State chairman, banged his favel for order. County Leader John H. McCooey nd Tammany Leader Olvany took seats in the second row. On the platform with Corning was Mrs.

Caroline O'Day of Westchester, vice chairman of the State Committee. Hugh J. Riley Is secretary ot the convention. Warnick J. Kernan.

tftica business man, was unanimously elected temporary and permanent chairman of the convention. CurlUier Is Squelched. Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier's anounced attempt to try to force the convention to go on record against the Eighteenth Amendment came to a brief Tammany Leader Olvany at the.last moment fixed matters so that Cuvillier's proxy was taken from him by producing the properly elected delegate. Cuvillier announced Just as the convention started that be will go to Rochester tomorrow and press his anti-Prohibition resolution at the G.

O. P. convention. Assemblyman Richard Smith, Syracuse Republican, Las agreed to place it before the convention, ha said. That Governor Smith will gain the Democratic Presidential -nomination la not debatable any longer In the minds ot New York Democrats.

Mack Sees Smith Winning. Here la what Norman E. Mack. Democratic National Committeeman from this State, said as he emerged from a five-hour conference at the Executive Mansion with Governor Smith, Democratic County Leader flohn H. McCooey of Brooklyn, Tammany Leader Olvany and other leaders, shortly after 1 o'cloclc this morning: a "It's all over.

The bottom dropped eut of the opposition when McAdoo auit. Smith already is as good as nominated for President. The Governor will be elected, or he will come so nesr to it that the religious Issue will be dead for all time in American politics." Smith Vetoes Another Convention. It is known that several of the leaders pleaded with the Governor last night to permit the holding of another Democratic State convention in the spring. It was argued that It would be politically beneficial for Smith if a great boom could be launched for him then say in New York.

The Governor turned this suggestion down. He suggested that the original plan be carried out and that the convention today authorize the State Committee to appoint four delegates-at-large and four alternates to the Democratic National Convention. This will be done. It will do away with the necessity of calling a State convention on the eve of the national one, with possible embarrassing results for the Smith candidacy. favors "Non-Aggressive Route." -Smith is set on approaching the nomination in 1928 by the "non-aggressive route." He, of course, is a candidate; but he is not expected to say so, in so many words.

Smith, as the "man of the hour" to the delegates, is certain to get a great ovation when he appears on the flag decked stage to make the keynote speech of what would be an otherwise prosaic and deadly dull gathering of Democrats. Undeniable efforts are being made to soft-pedal at this convention everything which has to do witn Smith's Presidential candidacy. The leaders, after learning of the happy state ot the Governor position in the Nation at this time, discussed at Continued en Page i.

Hammonton, N.

Sept. 29 (AP) As the search for Willis Beach, South Vineland poultry raiser, charged with aiding in the slaying of Dr. A. William Lillien dahl, spread to four States today, detectives disclosed that they had found new witnesses whose evi dence may prove "an importsnt link" in the solution of the mystery. Two of the seven witnesses, Mr.

and Mrs. George Cavalier, were said to have told the Investigators that white picking cranberries near where the elderly physician was slain they had heard a voice ring out In the stillness about the Ume the shooting wss supposed to have occurred. The voles called "Yoo-hool Yoo-hoo! as though trying to attract ths attention of some one near by, the Cavaliers said. Time 'Coincides. Prank Harrold, Chief of Atlantis County Detectives, said the Cavaliers had fixed tha time of hearing tha voice at the same hour three Morris-villa (Pa.) men had seen a blue motorcar speed from ths thicket pear where the fatal shots were fired.

Chief William Hudson of ths Vine-land police was also working on what appeared to be a new and important angle in the murder investigation today. Hudson said that be had learned from John Posner, proprietor of ths East End Motor Company in Hammonton, that on Sept. 14, ths day before the murder, Willis Beach had said to hlml "I am dead broke at this time but In a very short tuns I will have your money for you." 1 Posner explained, according to Chief Hudson, that Beach had purchased a blue coupe, similar to color and design, according; to three Mor-risvllle business men, to one they saw coming out of the murder lane the day the crime was committed. Needed Car, He Said. Beach made a down payment on the coupe but failed to meet ths monthly Installments, Posner Is alleged to have said, with the result that on Sept, 14 Posner and two officials of the Chrysler Company demanded immediate payment.

Beach is alleged to have secured further extension of time, pleading, "I need that car for a very Important engagement tomorrow morning." The search for Beach, who was under $5,000 bail as a material witness in the case, extended today to New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. Police received word that a man answering his description had registered at a Baltimore hotel on Tuesday, Edison Hedges, counsel for Beach, asserted that his client would be produced before the Court of Oyer and Terminer or the Grand Jury but that he would not turn him over to ths State police or county authorities. Hedges was quoted as saying he did not know "exactly" where Beach was but that he would be on hand "when wanted." Prosecution Tuizled. Prosecutor Louis Repetto and Assistant Prosecutor S. Cameron Hinkle, after a conference on Hedges' attitude, were undecided what action, if any, would be taken.

"I have a right to prosecute any on who obstructs Justice," Repetto was quoted as having said, "but I am not ready to say whether I shall presenile Hedges. Several newspaper reporters covering the rase were auhpenaed today to appear before the Atlantis County Grand Jury at Mays Landing late this afternoon. None of the authorities would discuss the object of the summoning of the reporters, but it Is reported that they would be asked concerning Matementa by Hedges, who has refused to produce Beach except on a court order. A description and pictures of Beach, who, police assert, admitted authorship of the "Peggy Anderson" letters said to have been received by Mrs. Lilliendahl, have been sent to most of the larger cities.

Placed at the house at the direction of Chief Hudson of Vineland. the trooper la under orders to watch ths house constantly and to follow Mrs.

Lilliendahl wherever she may go. The discovery of the guard was made accidentally. A photographer found Mrs. Lilliendahl cutting the gra.ss In front of her home snd asked her: "Would you shoot ms if I tried lo take your He put ever so slight an acient rn the word "me." and Mrs. Lilliendahl, angry, snapped back: "I never shot anybody In my "I didn't say you did.

"But I hope you notlre," she said, "that I'm being guarded" She pointed to a State trooper loafing on the porch of ths house next door. He does not go on the Lilliendahl property.

Women used to hold this place in man's emotions but the woman ot today Is no longer a cook she's csn opener." Mrs. Thomas Disagrees. Mrs.

Harry Harvey Thomas, president ot the City Federation ot Women's Clubs and Incidentally a very good cook, does not agree with Mrs. Frederick. "Men seem to enjoy eating In r-taurants as much as women." said Mrs. Thomas today. "So far as I know no man has requested a divorce because his wife could not cook.

Eat-ing out too much might be a contributory cause but it would not primarily cause a divorce.

Ridiculous to Compare Them. 'If," he said, "you ask me whether a woman's brain can accomplish as much as a man's, I say no. A woman's brain is proportionately as active and capable as a man's but in an entirely different way. It is really ridiculous to compare them. They are different beings, in physiological and psychological makeup you cannot sav that one or the other is superior.

Each is supreme in his or her own way. women, lor example, cannot compete with men as soldiers; but men are entirely out of it in the matter of child-bearing." The statistical department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which gathers and saves such matters, revealed that measurements made in thousands of cases showed the average male brain to be considerably larger than the woman's. In weight there was a difference of a tnlrd of a pound in favor of the man. and a quarter pound when the dif ference in structure ot man and woman is considered. Size of brain does not, however, measure the men tal capacity.

"Of Course," Says Woman Doctor. On the other hand, women leaders were inclined to agree with the Cornell Drofessor's conclusions. Dr. Eliza M. Mosher of 115 Montague who has been a practicing physician for the past half-century, said: "It's nothing new to us that women's brains are equal to men's.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29 The Fisher brothers ot Detroit apparently won the fight for Inclusion in the directorate of the Baldwin Locomotive Company today, when the company voted to increase the directorate from 13 to 15 members. Fred J.

Fisher and Clarence R. Bitting will be two of the new members and the third has not been announced. For almost a year the Fisher brothers, makers of motorcar bodies and heavily interested in General Motors, have been trying to get control of the Baldwin Locomotive Company. Financiers and those Interested in big business never believed the Fishers wanted control of the concern because of its actual money-making powers, since Baldwin Locomotlvo hasn't been making much money for two years. But they did want a hand in the property Baldwin owns in this city, real estate valued at close to IS.

000.000. Baldwin stock was selling very low when Fisher brothers began to buy it a year or more ago. They succeeded In acquiring, with Arthur W. Cutten, a stock manipulator ot Chicago, 120.000 shares of the common stock, which came close to giving them control. The preferred stock of the company also votes, however.

The significant part of today's statement, made by Samuel Vauclaln, is this: Bitting, a Fisher brothers man, will have a hand in deciding the company's financial program. And it is common gossip wherever financial men gather that Fisher brothers are not so much interested In Baldwin as they are in making a quirk profit. The big prize Is not wholly the company and Its business. It is thore three blocks along Broad st. in the vital heart of a growing city.

The locomotive plant has been mcved to Eddystone, but that valuable real estate holding like threo blocks on New York's Broadway from Canal st south is still owned by the company.

Hundreds took advantage of this. According to John Douglas of the President Harding Apartments, Flushing, Queens, the trains stopped 10 minutes walk out of the Woodside station, and scores of men and women walked along the tracks to the subways. All Trains Delayed.

All trains of the Long Island sys tem, both east and west bound, which leave and enter the city, were de layed, while the emergency crew re paired the third rail in the other tunnel. The express cars meanwhile had been removed. When the damage had been re paired at 9:02 the current was turned on and the long procession of stalled trains began slowly to move. At 10:45 there was still a line ot creeping trains, limping in between Jamaica and New York. The conductors on all city-bound trains were notified.

Many of the passengers got off at the Woodside station during the rush hours and took the subway to work. A Jam resulted which was only partially re lieved by running a number of extra kilns.

Mr. Culin explained that, although the statue was of almost untold intrinsic value as an art treasure, he had acquired it from a dealer who looked at the treasure purely from the ethnological viewpoint without considering the art value.

"In consequence, I was able to get this treasure," said Mr. Culln, "at a figure that would be almost beyond belief In Museum circles. I consider the Brooklyn Museum most fortunate In being able to own this very valuable and Interesting example of ancient Chinese art." Mr. Culln also obtained valuable textiles, including rare Indian painted and dyed cottons and a collection of ancient blocks for textile printing. Mrs.

Frederic B. Pratt had added to the textile collections three pieces of old printed cotton that Mr. Culln states "rival those of the Gaekwar ot Boroda acquired recently by the India Museum in London." in School at 2 "There are 14 boarding pupils and six day pupils, children being accepted between the ages of 2 and 7 years.
