Thirty Men Come Near Drowning In
 HaRb0rss ley Waters.
 Lewes, Del. Feb. 5.-Thirty men narrowly escaped drowning today in the icy waters of the Harbor of Ref uge at the Delaware breakwater and after being rescued with the greatest difficulty by the crews of two tugs they were forced to make their way to shore afoot over the heavy ice foes with which the Delaware River and bay is blocked. The men whose lives weer imperiiled were Captain Jacobs and his crew Of twenty-nine imen of Philadelphia city ice boat No. which made its. way down the river from Philadelphia in an effort to make a channel for vessels ice bound at the breakwater.
 The ice boat collided with the sunk en barge Santiago, the masts and buoys of which had been carried away by the ice jam.
 Navigation is almost at a standstill on the Delaware because of the Ice which is tanning the stream from Trenton, N. J.. to the breakwater and extends nearly ten miles out to sea. There Is a large fleet oS vessels of all kinds at the breakwater unable to make any headway against the jam. Several ships are fast in the ice at the Horse Shoe" a bend in the river at Gloucester. N. J., and 1t will probably be several days before the city ice boats can clear passage for them.

Thirty Strike Leaders Placed Under Ar Eest-MOvement in Poland Spread ing and Martial Law is De-
 cIared in Some Places.

Lodz, Feb. 5.-The situation here has reached a critical stage and 1t will be decided tomorrow whether the con- hict shall end or the strike be con- tinued. The employers met on Satur- day and decided to reopen all their factories on Monday, when men re- porting for work will be re-engaged and the remainder discharged. A large number of workmen are disposed to resume, but fear that the military contentious will employ coercion.
 The newly appointed Governor Gen. eral, Arcimovitch, Is giving the closest attention to the situation. In the course of the interview with the Asso- ciated Press this evening the Governor General said that tomorrow will be the critical contest. If the strikers once resume, the strike will be broken. Be- ing asked whether he considered the strike a political movement, the Gov ernor General answered:
 Yes and no. It is a labor move ment, but the strikers specific demands were suggested by political agitation. many of whom were foreigners"
 He expressed himself as being con- fident that order will be maintained, though the authorities are handicapped by the insuficiency of the police force, which numbers only 300.
 The Governor General said he was averse to using soldiers who made bad policemen.
 The manufacturers highly commend the promtitude and the act which the Governor General displayed in the maintenance of order which is in mark ed contrast with the fatal hesitancy of the Warsaw officers.
 The strikers are demanding an eight hour day, etc, put are willing to accept a compromise. The masters declare that IL IS impossible in the lace ot ex- tstlhg competition either to increase wages or deerease the hours of work men unless It IS made general through out. 1Tne state or sIese Is stall maln- tained here and the streets are being paIroled by military. All travellers are careIuIly scrutiniged. Thirty strike leaaers, mostly foreigners, have been arrested

Ph,IadeInhIn in Grlp.

Philadelphia, Feb. 5.--An almost com plete suspension of the coastwise trade out of this port has followed the gen. eral freeze-up of the harbor. There are a number of vessels nere but none will charter until there is some proba- bility of their being able to get out of the Delaware River, which is impos- sible at this time. Very little coal is being received at this port in conse- quence of the extreme cold in the min ing regions and great delay is being experienced by steamships under char ter for the West Indies in getting their cargoes.
 More than fifty vessels were held fast in the ice in the lower bay today and a number of ocean steamships which attempted to force their way through the obstruction at the Dela- ware Capes were compelled to return to sea and anchor for the night.

Train the Boys and Girls to Work


The following words, coming as
they do from President Roosevelt,
tn, apostle of strenuous activity,
ought to do some good:
And now, just word to you,
the fathers and mothers and teach
ers, as to the children. You often
see the man, still more often the
woman, who says | have had to
work hard myself, and my daughter
shall not. Now, you all often see
the man who, though he himself is
hard worker, yet does not train
his boys to work hard themselves.
Now, that father and mother think
they are being kind to the children.
They are not. That sort of kind
ness is a curse for those for whom
it is nomlnally exercised. Train up
the girl so that she can do nothing
OF use IN the house; train up the boy
SO that his only desire is to have a
good time without doing the pre-
iininarY work that will warrant his
having a good time, and you have
trained them both up to be curses to
themselves and to everyone else. "

OFFICER SHOOTS NEGRO.
Atlanta Excursionist Gets in Trouble
in Buzzard Roost.

Officer John p. Walker shot and perhaps
fatally wounded a negro known as
"Blacksnake' in negro restaurant on
Second avenue between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth streets yesterday after
noon about o'clock.
The negro was from Atlanta and had
come to Birmingham on an excursion
train. He went into the restaurant, 1t is
said, ordered a 10 cent lunch and walked
out without' paying for it. The pro-
prietor appealed to Officer Walker, who
made "Blacksnake" pay for his meal.
"Blacksnake' growled In the true Geor-
gia style and when ordered to dry UP
started to draw a gun, it is said on the
officer.
Mr.. Walker knocked him down and the
gun dropped to the floor. AS the negro
got up he got his gun and darted out at
the door. The officer followed him and
when he gained on the negro he turned
and drew his gun. The officer shot him
twice.
"Blacksnake" is at the Hillman hos
pital, and is reported to be in a critical
condition. His real name is not known.
