GREAT NECK AROUSED.
Influential Residents to Demand
Less Dangerous Train Ser1ice.

| William K. Vanderbilt. jr., Payne Whitney,
Joseph T. Grace and w. Gould Brokaw are
heading movement of residents of Great Neck
Long Island. which will demand from the Long
Island Railroad some changes in the manner OF
running trains at the station there. The whole
community shocked at the death of Louis
Fitzgerald. jr.. last Tuesday evening follow
ing three other fatal accidents within a short
space of time 1t is claimed that all these scci-
dents could have been avoided by a change in
the method of running the trains.
Just what form the action of the residents Will
take has not yet been determined, but those at
the head of the movement are considering the
matter and will be ready to act within few
days. When they do they are assured of ths
support of all the residents of the village.
Under the arrangement now existing. during
the rush hours both morning and evening trains
meet here, and everyone who boards an outgoing
train must pass in front of a moving train. The
surprising thing is that the accidents have been
so few, the railroad does not even employ
watchman to guard passengers from the dangers
of the moving trains
After the first horror anent Fftzgerald's death
had passed over Tuesday evening the group
the station held what might be called an in
dienation meeting. and 1t was then and there
decided to make the demand on the railroad for
the betterment Of conditions. II was year ago
last summer that Reginald Gignoux. a member
Of prominent family met his death there
under circumstances somewhat similar to the
fatal accident TO Fitzgerald, by being ground TO
death under engine.
Early last spring Miss Lucille Alger had both
of her legs cut Off and she would have died but
for the heroic work Of II. Bramhall Gilbert, who
happened to be at the station. On September
- last Frederick Johnson, q foreman ths
Payne Whitney estate. was cut to pieces by a
train, and his little daughter escaped like fats
by the narrowest OF margins.
The result of the agitation Will be awaited
with deep interest by all residents who use the
Great Neck station.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Weekly Bulletin Issued By the Weather
Bureau.

Washington, D. c., (Special) Crop
reports from all sections of the country
are summarized in the weekly bulletin
of the Weather Bureau as follows
Oven nearly the whole of the coun-
try the week ended April II was abnor-
mally cold and unfavorable for germina-
ton and growth. In Western North Da-
kota the temperature fell nearly to zero
on the 10th and on this and the follow
ing date exceptionally low temperatures
for the season occurred throughout the
country east of the Rocky Mountains
freezing temperatures occurring as far
south as the northern portions of Ala
bama and Georgia and Central South
Carolina, with light to heavy frosts in the
central portion OF the East Gulf States
and light frost at Jacksonville The
damaging effects of this cold period
which came at the close of the week
are not fully covered. in the reports col
lected at the climate and crop centers
on the I7th and used in the preparation
of this bulletin. Heavy rains were un-
favorable in the South Atlantic and
Central Gulf States, while the need of
rain is beginning TO be felt in portions
of the Lower Missouri Valley and on
the extreme North Pacific Coast. The
temperature conditions on the Pacific
Coast were unfavorable.
While complaining has continued in
Kansas, Missouri and Southern Illinois,
none has been planted farther north nor
in the Upper Ohio Valley and Middle
States. Preparations for planting have
been active in the central valleys, where
planting will be vigorously pushed as
soon as temperature conditions are fav-
orable, In the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States planting is about finished
and early corn is being cultivated
Winter wheat continues in promising
condition generally throughout the coun-
try, but is beginning to need rain in
portions of Kansas and Michigan.
Very slow progress was made with
spring wheat seeding over the northern
portion of the spring wheat region, as
this work could be prosecuted only in
the afternoons on account of low tenn
peratures. The early sown spring wheat
does not appear to have sustained in
jury from recent cold, except in Ne
braska, where some fields were slightly
damaged.
Oat seeding was also delayed in the
Dakotas, Minnesota lake region and
portions OF the Middle Atlantic States.
While growth of the early sown has
been checked and some injury sus-
tained in Nebraska, the general situation
respecting this crop continues promising,
While fruit must necessarily have sus-
tanned injury from the severe cold dur
ing the latter part of the week in the
Central and Southern districts, it is
probable that in the more northerly sec
tions to the eastward of the Mississippi
River the damage has been less serious.
In New England and the northern por-
ton of the Lake Region it is probable
that no serious injury has been done.

Or. Arnold Declares Men the More Graceful
Value Of Dancing.

New York, (SpeciaD Women are
far less graceful than men, have a
poorer anatomical mechanism, and skirts
are chiefly used to hide the ugly
angles at the female knee, according to
the opinion of Dr. +. H. Arnold, director
of the New Haven Normal School Of
Gymnastics, as expressed at the conven-
ton OF the American Physical Education
Association. He thought dancing was
very much more valuable scientifically
for women than for men, as strengthen
ing the weakest portions OF their frames,
DR.. Arnold denounced the social ETH
quette which bade women trip with mine
ing steps, and forbade them to run and
jump, so that the circulation 5f the blood
in the lower limbs was impeded. He ad-
vocated the hopping dance, saying that
the. social dance, with its glide or walk,
is useless hygienically.

spread use in gymnasums throughout
