SAVED OWN AND OTHER LIVES.
CoOl-Headed Superintendent Over
awes Panicstricken Italians.

CHICAGO, May IA dispatch to the
Tribune from New York says: by draw
ing revolver and threatening to kill any
man who dared to open the doors of a COM
partment in which a gang of men were
working in the northern tube of the North
river tunnel, Superintendent Brady saved
his own life and the lives of fourteen other
men In the compartment and prevented the
flooding of the tunnel. Brady had been ex-
pectfng a break in the roof of the black
hole and when ii came and the water be-
gan pouring in he quickly pushed his coat,
vest and hat into the aperture. Nearly all
OF the men were Italians and hcame
panic-stricken. They made a rush for the
door of the compartment. Brady, pointing
his revolver at the man nearest the door.
threatened to kill him If he moved another
step. The opening of the doors would have
permitted the compressed air in the COM
partment (thirty-eight pounds to the square
inch) TO escape, and the break would in
stantly have enlarged and the water flood
ed the compartment, drowning all the
hands. Calling upon one of the more expe-
rienced workmen. Brady instructed him to
telephone to the Jersey City terminal for
more air pressure and to send him car
load of sawdust bags He had the Italians
thoroughly -cowed, and when the bags ar
rived, under the persuasive influence of the
drawn revolver, the Italians pushed the
bags into the hole and then put a jack un-
derneath to hold them in place"

clearly the determination of the postmaster
general to hew closely TO the line and let
the chips fall where they will. He has
never shown anything but a keen appre-
citation Of the seriousness of the task which
he set himself. but has been criticised for
an alleged slowness in bringing about re-
suits. But, as he has frequently explained.
an investigation as serious as the one now
in course involves many extraneous mat
ters which can only be disposed OF by de-
liberate and searching inquiry. In the
postoffice investigation there have been
scores of people who have taken occasion
to vent their spleen against postal officials
and who have addressed the department
intimations which were carefully weighed
to find what If any basis they had. All
this has taken time.
I'VE will pursue this investigation relent-
lessly and to the end. While We will pun

This is to-nights expression of the post
master general To-days events are a
striking illustration of his impartial effort
to make the assertion good. 1t was one he
used when the alleged Irregularities were
first brought to his attention and when he
informed the President of the intended in

SEIZED BY BRITAIN.


TAHITA. May 10. via San Francisco, May
27-Information received on the best au-
thority confirms the rumor that three small
islands near Pitcairn were seized by Eng
land recently. 1t appears that they were
regarded by British Consul Simonds, at
Tahita, as valuable, anticipating the COM
pletion of the Panama canal. He was un-
der the impression that sooner or later the
French government might annex them, and
so, without waiting for definite instructions
from his government, sent Mr.. Mccoy, an
English resident on Pitcairn island, to take
over the three islands for the British gov
renment. Later an English man-of-war, at
Simonds order, went from Tahita TO the
new possessions and completed certain for
malities. When the action was reviewed by
the British Foreign Office the consul re-
ceived full appreciation FOR his forethought
