Moved by the call Of duty. an ambulance
surgeon last night faced the possibility of
being crushed to death beneath a street car.
He scorned the shouts Of warning from a
crowd; he brushed aside the grasp of a po-
Hceman who sought to hold him back: he
did the quick, skilled work that was de-
manded OF him In the cramped quarters be-
meath the car: and when he emerged. COW
cred with mud but with duty done the po-
liceman shook his hand vigorously and the
crowd that before shouted "Stop!" changed
its tune and yelled: Bully boy, Docl
that his work proved in the end of no avail
An elderly man was crossing Third ave-
nue. at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
northbound car. The vehicle ran twenty
feet before it was stopped. The man was
wedged so tightly in the forward truck 1t
without lacking UP the car great crowd
gathered: then came DIR. Krauskopf in re-
Spouse to hurry call sent to the Harlem
Hospital The man under the car was
grooming in agony. Fully thousand per-
sons stood about, unable to aid him and
waiting impatiently for the wrecking crew
of the railway company to arrive.
But DIR. Krauskopf knew the danger that
lay in delay. He took a hypodermic syringe
from his case. filled it with an opiate and
started to crawl under the car. A police
man pulled him back saying 1t was danger
Gus to reach the man in that fashion. The
motorman of the car likewise gave a warn
ing. But the surgeon brushed the police
beneath. Again the policeman interposed.
DR.. Krauskopf pretended he would obey
the command, then, as the policeman turned
away, the surgeon dropped to the ground.
In an instant he was under the car He
gave several injections to the sufferer and
then called for lamp. One was brought
from the ambulance and passed under the
car to him. He saw that one of the legs
of the victim had been nearly cut off, He
called for his surgical case. 1t was passed
to him. Then. lying fiat on the ground he
bound up the wounded leg as best he could
He was about to attend to other wounds
when the wrecking crew arrived.
When DR.. Krauskopf emerged again the
crowd cheered wildly. Men pressed for
ward to grasp him by the hand, but he re-
quested the police to keep them back.
The wrecking crew soon had the car
lacked up and the injured man was taken
out. He was hurried to the hospital, where
he died two hours later. His skull had been
fractured his left arm and leg crushed and
the right leg nearly severed He was about
five feet nine inches tall, weighed about
rs pounds and wore dark suit and black
derby hat. He was crossing from the east
TO the west side of the street and had lust
passed behind a southbound car when he
was struck by one going north. The motor
man. Joseph Kahn. and the conductor, Nor
| ris Dolan, were arrested.

subject to court-martial. He lived at Green
field, ILL.,, and gave his reason for sur
render that his mind tortured him contin-
ually. He claimed that during the interim
of his escape and surrender that he was in
continual fear of arrest and that he would
rather serve out the six months imprison-
ment and go free than have the trouble on
his mind all the while.
During the last winter there were num-
Der of surrenders at the Four Courts. st.
Louis. In the records all of these men are
shown to have given a troubled mind" as
the reason for their surrender. They have
been conscience-stricken from the time OF
their escape until the time of their sur
render. Deserters who thus surrender usu-
ally offer no excuse other than desire to
evade the strenuous duties of soldier life
and to see the world again. They are not
only permitted, but urged to employ coun-
sci to defend themselves, but the deserter,
whether he has surrendered or been appre-
hended, never chooses to defend himself.
The subject of a court-martal strikes him
with such terror that he abandons all hope
of acquittal.
After a deserter has returned or been ar
rested he is placed in a guardhouse and
the details of his escape and the excuses
that he gives are embodied in a report sent
c. Bates. OF Omaha, who decides whether
or not court-martial should try the case.
If he so decides, a jury of twelve officers is
impaneled. senior officer acts as judge
and the accused is given every right to
defend himself. II he is found guilty he
is given chance to appeal TO the adju-
tant general, who may from the evidence
mitigate the sentence. The President is
the only person who has the power to par
don after sentence has once been passed.
Very few pardons are issued. A man once
convicted at court-martial may be SEN
fenced to six months or one year in prison
at hard labor. dishonorably discharged
from the army and forever forfeit his right
to vote.
A very peculiar fact in regard TO de-
serters is that the secret service the
federal officials have no authority to arrest
such deserters, although police and private
citizens given $50 and expenses in the
arrest of such soldiers. If a soldier walks
in and surrenders TO the police, as about
twenty of them have done at the Four
Courts in the past year, the officer taking
charge of them is paid the $50 About
sixty deserters have been taken up by the
st. Louis police department since JAN
last
In the past year there have been but six
assertions from Jefferson barracks. No Of
ficer ever deserted from the barracks. The
desertion of officers is an exceptional thing
anywhere in the service Only the hard
worked privates seek recreation outside OF
the service. but rule they cannot stand
the haunting conscience of having betrayed
| their loyalty to the fiag-hence they sur
| render themselves TO the authorities and
take the consequence.

days are occupied, the cattle and horses
resting at night. For reasons that will be
apparent later, the herd is allowed to have
practically no grazing or water on the
drive. The hundreds that are in the body
represent probably a dozen ranches. Each
has one or more brands. AS the railroad
station is approached the work of tally

At the pens the cattle are very hungry

the man new to the West, they are not
given mouthful to eat or a pint to drink.

A large number Of the punchers invest
their wages-about $50 per month-in cows,
and in the course OF a few years have a

bronzed man of powerful physique. with
almost unlimited capacity for beef, cigar
ettes-hand rolled-aM plug tobacco. They
love the wild life and are content often to
spend six conservatives months apart from
civilization. In month they probably do

DRIVEN AWAY BY HYMNS.
Strong Men Cannot Bear Mandy
Pamby Songs, Says Err. Pickard.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Our hymns are partly responsible for the
scarcity of men in the church." declared
Rev. Ward Beecher PicHard in a sermon TO
men at Epworth Memorial Church last
evening. Some of the hymns sung in our
churches are enough TO drive strong. virile
men away. 1 do not blame men bit for
their reluctance to attend church where
these meek, namby-pambly, expressionless
and meaningless songs are sung"
Rev. Pickard's sermon was directed to-
ward the men and the large auditorium
was well filled. The pastor commented on
the apparent lack OF interest shown by men
in the work of the church and advanced
several reasons for the decadence or the
manly element in religion.

game" said DIR. Pickard. Then imagine
them standing up and singing. IT want 10

The weekly statistics continue bnilish. though the spot houses disposed to proceed eau tiously in view of expected development in connection with the arrival of actual cotton now en route to this country from Europe. The crop and weather news continues quite favorable on the whole inasmuch as additional showers were reported in some parts of the belt where good rains are needed. The general crop, however.

The foreign element generally seems to be in a secure position, having gotten its accounts down that they now quite controllable matter in what direction .he market huctu- ates The Southern crowd is still inclined to discourage bearish operations in the pit.
