SWITCHTENDER is
CRUSHED TO DEATH IN
THE c.. R. |. & P. YARDS

Carl Busch. switchtender. was IA
tally injured Saturday evening at the
Rock Island yards near the Twentieth
street station. He was caught between
the cOuplers of two freight cars. and
was crushed about the hips. He re-
ceived internal injuries. and his death
resulted in n few hours at st. AnthO-
ny's hospital.
Busch was resident of Moline and
was regularly employed as a switch
tender at the Natick yards of the COM
pany. He had been working as an
extra man Saturday in the Rock Island
yards. He was attempting to reopen
the couplers of the car, the first at

Just as he was standing in front of
the couplers he was caught in the i'm
pact of second string run down
against the train by the switch engine.
No Witness of the Accident.
He was terribly bruised. and the
blow tore open the abdominal cavity,
and lacerated the intestines. He was
discovered by Mr.. Scheibel, who was
checking up the train. DR.. S. B. Hall
was called, but found the man beyond
human aid. He was removed in the
ambulance to the hospital. where he
died at about o'clock yesterday
morning. None of the yard employees
witnessed the accident. and Busch was
able to give but brief account of it,

Miss Julia Busch, a sister of the
young man. is a nurse at the hospital
and before he was placed in the ambu-
lance he requested that she be notified

REQUEST FOR A
MATRON Renewed
Noman's Christian Temperance
Union Writes to the City
Council.
CANDIDATE FOR THE POSITION
is Qualified for the Duties, and is Will
ing to Accept the Salary
Fixed.

\ communication from the local
branch of the Woman's Christian Tenn
peTance union will be read at the meet
ing of the city council this evening
urging the appointment of a matron
for the police department. Mayor Nc
Conochie is not unfavorable 10 the ad-
dition of woman To the department.
but he declines TO make an appoint
ment until the council sees to the
question of salary. The revised ordi-
nances, under the head of police, says
that the department shall consist. in
addition to the chief and a given mum
Der of patrolmen, police matron. and
that her salary shall be $50 per month.
For several years the women of the
city have been laboring with the coun-
Gil. but have been met with various
excuses why it would be unwise to
have a matron in this city. The chief
argument has been that there is no
room for the accommodation of such
an officer at the station as presently
laid out. and another one has been
that there is no work for such an Off
Ger. as there are not on an average
in the week arrested.
Would he Kept Busy.
There is no disagreement with the
statement as To the number of arrests
of women. but the committee that
called on he mayor Saturday said that
the real work of the matron was not
at police headquarters, but outside II /;
that there are young girls wandering
around the streets of the city who. of
given the motherly counsel of a good
woman. would be encouraged to lead
better lives, and many would be saved
from the pitfalls of shame.
Heretofore when the women have
preached the naming of a matron they
have been asked whom they would
suggest for the position, for it requires
one of peculiar fitness. Not until now
have they had one whom they believe
is in every regard qualified. She has
been recommended by Police Matron
Hill, of Davenport. and now is employ
ed at Bethany home. She is expert
enced in this line of work. and is will

Mayor Picks Out n Room.
The committee from the Woman s
Christian Temperance union went
through police headquarters Saturday
with Mayor McConochie. The mayor
pointed out one room that might be
used by the matron in the case one is
chosen. He recommended that the
committee bring the request in the
form of a communication. 1t has been
drafted and will be read at the meet

a matron for his department. He says
she would not have anything to do;
that she would only be in the way.

WHILE PUTTING ON COAL
Carl Busch, Switchtender, Meets With
Fatal Accident in Rock
Island Yards.

Harry Harker. 16 years of age. en-
roundhouse at Natick, died at IL
O'Clock last night at the Moline city
hospital from injuries sustained six
hours previously while loading an en-
CINE with coal preparatory TO its going
on Il run.
Thomas Monaghan. another work
man. was in the cab of the engine,
which was the 1884. when she was
driven under the chute. Harker was
on the ground and released the slide
on which the coal descends from the
crib into the tender.
Boy Says Engine Moved.
Harker. in statement that he made
at the hospital. claimed that the en-
CINE moved slightly and that he was
pinioned between the tender and the
chute. Monaghan declared that he
had not touched the throttle, and that
if the locomotive had moved it had
done so of its own volition and with
out his knowledge. This might be
possible, he stated. as the brakes had
been released, and there is a slight
grade at that point. He had been Oc-
cupied cleaning the mechanism. He
did not hear any cutlery from Harker,
and his first intimation that there
was something wrong came when he
noticed that the coal had ceased run
ming into the tender.
He Is Terribly Crushed.
The injured boy was carried on a
stretcher into the roundhouse, and Dr.
A II. Arp summoned TO administer
TO him. He was Immediately convey
ed to the city hospital.
An autopsy was held, and showed
terrible laceration of the abdomen
There were internal hemorrhages
The funeral will take place from the
home of the brother of the deceased
John Harker. on Thirty-eighth street
Moline. The dead boy leaves his
mother, Mrs. Thomas Harker, and
four brothers.
A verdict of accidental death was
found by the jury that Coroner Eek
hart impaneled to hold an inquest.
