TAPS SUBWAY
Two Great Public
Utilities Joined Today

TO-DAY every Subway Station in Man
haitian and the Bronx is an entrance to
WANAMAKER's Neither snowstorm nor tor
rents of rain need interfere any longer with
your shopping trip to WANAMAKER's. The
moment you reach your Subway station you
are under roof, protected absolutely, until
your shopping trip is over, and you are back
at YOUR home station again.
The occasion is epochal. 1t marks, in New
York City, the beginning of the time when
the shopping public shall be independent OF
the elements.
The dissection of transit is logical, i'm
perative, assured. Safety of human life,
economy of time, the conservation of nervous
human energy, all demand that the future
shall bring, in all great cities, the absolute
disassociation of the thoroughfares for vari-
GUS forms of travel.
The pedestrian should not be compelled to
hurry from the heels of the horses, or the
wheels of motor cars. The horse-drawn
vehicle should not be menaced by the street
railway car. The trolley car should not be
endangered by the railway locomotive.
The railroads are freeing themselves of
grade crossings. The elevated railroad took
part of the city's traffic away from the sur
face congestion. Now the Subway relieves it
millions more.
Real rapid transit means that the thorough
fare shall be constantly clear for the unlnter-
rupted passage of the vehicles of transit. The
elevated" suffers from snow and sleet and
brings fear to its passengers in windstorm.
The Subway is an indoor railway, on
track of solid rock; and today it sets its pas
sengers down inside of WANAMAKER's.
How?
We have built large, brilliantly lighted
corridor, from the Astor Place Station,
through the Basement of our new building,
right under Ninth street, into the basement
of our present store.
No stairs to climb-our elevators save you
every step.
No more need of crossing slushy, muddy
| streets. No trolley cars, horses or automo-
biles to dodge. 1t will take away at least
half of the fret and worry of going shopping;
and prevent most of the bad weather ex-
poSure.
Do you wonder that we congratulate our
selves and you upon this new, far-reaching
public convenience
Come to WANAMAKER's. by the Subway,
and see for yourself how pleasant it is. Elk

BARKENTlNE LABELLA
GOES TO THE BOTTOM
SEVERAL LIVES LOST; FISHER.
MAN SHOWS HERolsM
Rescues a Number of the Sailors at
Great Risk to Hlmself-Wreck
Occurs Near WarnbooIon, on the
Australian Coast
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
VICTORIA, b. c., Dec. 23.--News
reached Victoria In the Australian
mail today of the wreck of the barken-
time Labella near Warnboolon on the
Australian coast involving the loss of
several lives and the display of hero
ism by fisherman named William
Ferrier, which caused him to be famed
throughout Australia as Il hero.
The Labella struck half a mile from
shore on a reef. Her distressed condi-
ton and the men clinging to her rig
ging were seen with glasses from
shore.
The local lifeboat put out, but some
of the crew were in the hospital and
volunteers failed to reach the wreck.
Efforts were made to throw a line
from shore, but the rocket apparatus
failed. The wreck was falling to pieces
and the sailors falling away to death
one by one. Then William Ferrier
put out alone In a small dingy scull
with a single oar. He was nearly
swamped, but managed his craft skill
fully and rescued one who proved to
be the captain. He was landed and
then Ferrier made another trip, rescu-
ing another man so overcome by ex-
posure that he was incapable of help
ing himself.
In the meantime the life boat had
managed to rescue the survivors. Fer
rier has been presented with medals
and purses by admiring citizens be-
cause of his heroism.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 23.-Sink-

was the condition in which Frank
Wood, a rancher, was found by the
crew of Il Redlands electric car in a
Mill street slough last night.
The man was numb and helpless
from the cold, he having been in the
mud for nearly two hours. In a short
BILE to save himself.
Wood was bringing some chickens to
the city for friends and made a run
for the car. but no one saw him and
the car failed to stop. Forgetting
about the slough, Wood fell into it
head foremost. In attempting to eX-
tricate himself he went in deeper. un-
til all that was out of water was his
head and shoulders.
Wood became chilled and half insen-
sihe from the cold. Several cars
passed the spot. but he was finally
aroused by the changing Of the bell of
strength to cry for help as it passed.
For some reason the car was run
ning slowly at the spot and his cry
was heard by Conductor G. j. Baker
and Motorman Boseley. They soon
had him out of his perilous position
and brought him to the city. where
he was given medical care. A strange
feature was that when rescued the
man was still grasping the sack OF
chickens.

The palace there is now being pre-
pared to receive the 900 senator's and

and the near approach of the voting
is causing an active canvass in be-
half of the various candidates.
NJ Fallieres, president of the senate,
has thus far been considered the lead
ing candidate and his supporters claim
he is already sure of a majority in
the assembly. NJ. Fallieres relies chief
ly on the precedent established by NJ.
Loubet' in going from the presidency
of the senate to the presidency of the
republic However, the candidacy of
NJ. Fallieres does not arouse popular
enthusiasm and the opposition is COM
bining to support Paul Doumer, presi-
dent of the chamber of deputies. NJ.
Doumer represents the younger and
more active element His candidacy is
popular, but he has the antagonism
of some strong groups in both cham
bers. IT is expected that the first
ballot will be divided between Fal-
lieres and Doumer, with some votes for
Leon Bourgeois, the former premier;
Henri Brisson, another former pre-
mier, and former president of the
chamber of deputies; Paul Deschapel,
president of the committee on foreign
and canal affairs of the chamber; Min
lister of War Etienne ana Minister of
Marine Thomson.
Should the claim of the friends of
NJ. Fallieres of an assured majority
matefalize. the contest will be short
and decisive. However, the sharp
mes sof the struggle between Fallieres.
and Doumer may prolong the contest
and lead to the presentation of a dark
horse in the person of Premier Rou-
Vier, who has thus far withheld from
the contest. but some of his near
friends predict that his name will rally
q majority i'm the assembly should a
prolonged deadlock occur.
M. Loubet has positively declined to
be candidate for a second term, hut
the possibility remains of the assembly
making him an unwilling candidate
Still the contest appears to be mar
