Three Persons Dro wned aud Two
Narrowly Escape Death.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
The Driver of One Auto Passes Another
Auto, Which Was Standing at
Bridge, the Draw Of Which
Was Open, and pluuges
Into the River.

AutV INC NNeT.
At Chicago three persons were
drowned and TWO others narrowly ca.
capped like fate Saturday night, when
an auto mobile in which the five were
riding, plungsd into the Chicago
river through the opsn draw Of the
Rush street bridge. The drowned:
Jerome G.. Kurtzman, Chicago, man.
ager for chemical company.
Mrs. Jerome G.. Kurtzman.
w. A. Hartley, manager f1r an au-
tomobile house.
The rescued:
w. Fl. Hoops, Jr., manager for an
automobile company.
Mrs. Jerome Runyon, New York
city.
Both Mrs. Runyon and Mr.. Hoops
were unconscious for half all hour af
ter being taken from the river, but are
expected to recover.
The accident occurred at the north
end OF the bridge where there is an
upward slope Of 2oo feet towards the
edge of the draw. This slope is sc
steep that 1t has not bsen thought
neces sary to stretch chains across the
roadway, as Is done at number OF
other bridges, where the approach is
on a level.
The occupants Of the autom obile
which dashed into the river, were
coming south in Rush street close be.
hind another machine, the chauffeur
of which; seeing that the draw was
open, slackened speed and was coming
to a stop about SO feet from the edge
of the draw.
Hoops, who was driving the rear
machine, thinking to pass ahead,
pulled cut to one side. Putting on
extra power, Hoops machine shot to.
ward the open draw at 20 miles an
hour. When close to the open draw,
Hoops realized his danger, and throw
ing all his weight on the steering
wheel, attempted to turn the machine
to the left. The machine was too
close to the draw, however.
TIE automobile turned slightly and
for fraction of second hung on the
brink. The tire Of the front wheel
ripped Off, the hub broke, aud the
machine dropped ito the river 30 feet
below. AS the machine slipped along
the edge Of the draw, the women In
the automobile screamed, and all of
the occupants rose to their feet, but
had no time in which to make any
move before they were flung into the
river, and after them plunged the
heavy machine.
Hoops and Mrs. Runyon fell clear
OF the machine and were taken un.
conscious from the river by sailors
who we're on wharf near the bridge.
Mrs. Runyon was taken to the Lex
ington hotel in hysterical condition.
Neither Kurtzman, his wife, nor
Hartley rose to the surface, and it is
thought that they were pinned down
by the machine.

LEARNING TO FARM.

Young men who have lust left school, and who
are interested in agriculture should as we'll be IN
terested in special training in farming. The be-
llet is universal now that young on the
farm has just as great opportunities for a career
OF earning livelihood, a home and a standing
with his fellowcitizens as the young man in any
other profession. We are all agreed that if
young man desires to be lawyer doctor or
minister, he must be educated and trained in his
work We are all ready to agree nowadays as well
tnat the young man who is to be farmer must
have professional training There are a thousand
and one problems in agriculture to-day that need
study and investigation. The best way to prepare
Tor these problems is to receive as good training
as one can secure from some good agricultural
college. One can take a course of study at sucn
colle"e at no great expense, and then with tnV
tra1n1ng and education he has received he IS
equipped for his battle.
Ihe question now arises, Where can one attend
sucn college! We know of no place where there
are better opportunities, larger faculty OF sfroS
men better equipment, and more enthusiasm thaii

sheer and ragged out of the rich prairie soil
around them. In the far gone ages all this was

of the three heroes of the conflict, was young
North Carolina lawyer, but have not been able
to confirm this statement. Appletons Cyclopae-

died at the head of Bowie's cot in the little

State he belongs, he is worth claiming and honor

this, and few worthier heroes than the captain

bodies were taken and burned but grateful peo-

gave them worthy burial And the Inscription

The Venezuelan sitnatiou has
become somewhat acute during the
last week and the diplomacy of the
administration is being taxed to the
utmost to protect the dignity Of the
United States aud the rights of its
citizens without resorting to the
application Of force. President
Castro is running things with
high haud. He has calmly forfeited
the entire property Of the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany by legal procedure i; is true.
but not until his contention that
the property should be forfeited
was denied by the Venezuelan
Supreme Court and he had "reor-
ganized" that court by the dis.
charge Of every member who voted
against him and the appointment
OF others known to be ready TO con-
stru the law in accordance with
the wishes of the President. In
the case of one Jaurett, an Ameri.
can citizen, Castro expelled him
from Caracas because e disliked
certain editorial utterances Of Jaur-
EFT and entirely without process of
law. In the case Of the Orinoco
Steamship Company, Castro quiet
ly forfeited their charter without
rhyme or reason ard numerous
other instances might be cited.

Some time ago the United States
urged upon Castro the advisability
Of referring the differences growing
out of these claims, to court of
arbitration. Instead OF remaining
at the Venezuelan capital to COM
plete negotiations proposed by Min
lister Bowen, Castro quietly retired
to country place and refused to be
disturbed, while lurid accounts of
his methods Of rest and recreation"
were all the information Mr.. Bowen
has received. He has now returned
to Caracas, however, and Mr.. Bow
en has been instructed once more
10 press the representations of this
government that the questions at
issue must be submitted to an arbi-
trail court and to insist on a catego-
rical answer. Meanwhile, Castro
has executed what h doubtless
regards as coup intended to re.
move ali possibility OF the United
States taking forcible steps to recov-
er damages for the wrongs of its
citizens.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-03-30

There has been widely circulated
a report that prominent members of
the Republican party contemplated
placing a duty on tea and coffee at
the next session of Congress and
considerable sums have been exper-
ded to get the statement into the
public prints. For a time it was
impossible to detect who was re-
sponsible for the circulation of these
reports, "who paid the freight" to
borrow the newspaper slang Of the
national capital. The facts have
now come out however. The wish
is father to the thought and the
brewers and distillers are footing
the bills. They, ii appears, are
fearful that instead Of revising the
tariff so as to afford less protection
and produce more revenue, the
stand patters will insist on adding
to the tax on liquors to meet the
growing national deficit. The facts
are that prominent members of the
two houses Of Congress have never
seriously considered the proposition
to tax coffee and tea and it is entire
ly probable that they would deem
it wiser to increase the tax on
liquors than to tax these necessa-
ries of life. The increased liquor
tax could be collected without addi-
tional expense, would prove a bur
den only to an industry which
large percentage of the people be-
lieve the nation would be better off
without and with which compara-
lively few decent people have much
sympathy.
