.LIFE.SAVINGCRE
TO GET AUTO BOATS
Success Of Capt. Patterson and His
Crew at Wreck Of Drumelzier
Means Their Adoption.

New York, Jan. 90 When Captain
7. III. Patterson and mis- famous crew Of
the Sandy Hook life-saving station
obeyed orders to leave their own beach
and proceed to a strange place forty
miles away, where lay the wreck Of
the steamship Drumelzier, they made a
record for bravery almost without par
allel, which has called forth the enco-
miums Of Secretary Shaw.
Their rescue of the half -frozen steam
ship crew, whom nearby life-saving sta
tions could not aid because Of the fear
full seas, will hasten the equipment of
lifeboats with automobile engines.
Within three months the Sandy Hook
station will have one Of these boats
and another will be placed at Fire
Island. Had such boat been on the
Long Island shore when the Drumel-
zier took the bar, the stranded crew
would have been saved days of suffer
ing and Captain Patterson and his boys
would not have been forced to perform
a service unique in life-saving on the
Atlantic coast.

RAILROAD
REFUSES
HORSES

The New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railsbad company has decided that
no more horses shall be allowed in the
freight yard I'm the unloading OF ice as
has heen the custom heretofore. This
order from the railroad company Is one OF
the outcomes OF the hearing recently held
I'm the United States court before the
Interstate Commerce commission, when
the charge made by II. w Miner. "A
dealer - beef i'm this city. complained OF
unjust discrimination on the part of the
railroad company.
Mr.. Miner claimed that the act OF the
railroad company forced him TO cart his
beef a quarter OF n mile further than was
done ordinarily. Mr.. Miner also claim
ing that he was refused permission TO re-
celve his cars I'm the Canal street yard
on the ground that IL was impossible 10
allow his horses in there and on account
OF a rule against that IL was shown
mat the horses OF the ice company were
allowed In there 10 fill the cars with Ice
and to unload the ice by means OF block
and tackle in that same district
The facts elected at the hearing were
somewhat OF a surprise to the railroad
officials and the result was that the order
Issued by a. II. Whaley. superintendent OF
the New York division OF the Consoli-
dated. at the time he was superintendent
OF the Worcester division, that all deliv-
cries except into houses direct should be
prohibited was put In strict effect again.
George b. Sherwood Of the Sherwood
Ice company stated last night that he
had been informed by the beef house sup
piled by his company that the ruling was
10 go into effect on Oct. Is.
The Pocasset Ice company also stated
that IL had received notice through the
What Cheer Beef company. which II
supplies. that the notice had been is
sued. and that the order was 10 be
strictly enforced
The railroad officials. when questioned
about the order, said that 1t was not a
new ruling at all, but simply the strict
carrying out Of the order promulgated
by Mr.. Whaley some years ago. Pre-
sumably. by the time It becomes neces-
sary TO replenish the supply OF ice in
the several houses along the street, the
railroad company and the beef companies
Will have arrived at an arrangement for
the installation OF gasoline or dummy
engines for the hosting This plan is
the one that was spoken OF as the most
feaslbly last night by both sides and IL
will probably be adopted.
