DEATH UNDER ENGINE
LITTLE GIRL KILLED BY TRAIN OF

Engineer Does All In His Power to Prevent Accident, But Fails- The Accident Occurs
 at Reptcn.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma. Oct. 1T. The news of a sad accident at Repton in Wilcox County. .op the Pensacola di- vision of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad late yesterday afternoon was learned here this morning. The accf. dent caused the death of little girl about 10 years old whose parents live at Repton, but whose name could not be learned here today.
 The Louisville and Nashville passen- ger train from Pensacola to this city had just pulled out of the depot at Repton when there ran across the track a crowd of little girls. All of them got across the track except one who was knocked down and run over before the engineer could stop his train. The head of the child was mashed and her limbs had been crushed into a pulp bS the wheels. Life was extinct when her body was picked up. ~ Her parents were summoned, aiter which the body was taken to the home nearby. The engineer tried to stop the engine in time to keep from in1uring the little girl and no one regrets the accident more than he.

o...t,or of Side Tracks.

The proposition of the Southern Rail. way to lay side tracks on each side of Water Street from the compress to Church Street is still causing considera- ble discussion. It seems to be the gen. eraf verdict that-sthe City Council when the matter is brought before that body again, will not grant the railroad per mission to lay the tracks. The business interests of Water Street favor the tracks, but other strong interests are being brought to bear against the prop osition.
 The subject is being fully discussed in the local papers and the question has become live wire. A few days ago Colonel w.. w. Quarles wrote an open letter to the City Council on the question. In this letter he set forth very strongly the disadvantages to the city these tracks up Water Street would cause.
 Yesterday R. R. Kornegay replied to Colonel Quarles's letter. He stated the advantages the side tracks would give to the wholesale houses. MT. kornegay, like Colonel Quarles, has many Supporters The question prom ises to be thoroughly discussed.

Instructive Correspondence

The following correspondence between
Rev. DR.. I. X. Funk of the Funk & Wag-
nails company of New York and Mr..
Louis Marshall was made public:
Louis Marshall, Esq, 80 Broad Street. New
York:
My Dear Sr-I hope that you and the
other signers of the petition for the re-
moval of the state librarian, Melvin Dewey,
will not deem few words from me on the
subject an impertinence.
That the effort to remove Mr.. Dewey, II
successful, will be deeply resented by many,
is almost certain. We all must remember
that this prejudice and exclusiveness is
growth of thousands of years. and has been
mutual; and, like all hatred that has it's
roots in religion, has been most bitter.
Prejudice, like taste, can not be argued nor
beaten down, it must be outlived; and
prejudice of this sort is at all times easily
rekindled.
At a dinner of seventy-five New York
clergymen last week, this Dewey matter was
talked over, and much feeling was expressed.
Old stories against the Jews were resur-
rected and heard more talk of this kind at
that meeting that heard in the previous

State Librarian Dewey Rebuked

Albany-State Librarian Melville
Dewey was to-day rebuked by the board
of regents for the publication by the
Lake Placid Club, in which he is inter-
ested of circulars containing matter con-
sidered to be reflection upon Jewish
citizens He was at the same time adj
monished by the regents that his con-
tinued responsibility for the circulation
of such literature would be Incompatible
with his position as state librarian.
Decision of Regents.
After the report of the library COM
mittee had been considered at some
length, the regents decided as follows:
''In the matter of petition Of Messrs.
Louis Marshall, Jacob H. Schiff, and 9th
ers, following hearing and report
thereupon by the library committee, the
board of regents, after full discussion,
on motion Of Vice Chancellor McKelway,
unanimously voted THAT the board of
regents censllres the publication by an
officer of the education department OF
the expressions complained of in the pc
titiOn, concerning an important class OF
people, which also has official representa-
tives under the board, furnishes large
support to the state, and has many
youths in the schools.
GO '''That the officers of the board be in
structed to communicate at once to Mr..
Dewey the formal and severe public re-
buke of the board for his conduct.
'' THAT the board admOnishes the di-
rector of the state library that the fur
ther control of private business which
continues to be conducted on such lines
is incompatible with the legitimate re-
quirements of his position in the service
of the educational interest of the state
of New YOrk.'''
The Jewish outlook., 1905-02-24

important to exchange my Views, for those
which you have expressed.
First of all, let me say, that there is but
a single question to be considered, not
whether the removal of Mr. Dewey will be
resented by few or by many, not whether it
will result in stirring up deep feeling, or
engendering bitterness; not whether 1t will
drive i'll concealed or even latent prejudice
from it's lair, but whether Mr. Dewey has,
as a public official, forfeited his claim to
hold the important place in our state educa-
tonal system, which he now occupies.
Your letter is silent on that subject; you
do not attempt to Justify his act; you do
not deny or palliate the accusation; you
do not attempt to argue that paid official
of the state, may, while he is drawing sal
ary out of the state treasury to which Jews
as well Christians contribute, dissent
nate documents of ant-Semitic tendencies,
which tend to foster race and religious pre-
judice, and consign even the most worthy
and the most excellent (such is Mr..
Dewey's phrase) to contempt. obloquy and
animadversion. 1t is to your credit that
your friendship for the accused has not led
you to champion his utterances
You are evidently misinformed to
the facts since you assume that the only
evidence against Mr.. Dewey is to be
found in what you are pleased to term
"decoy letters Should you have heard
his testimony before the committee and
noted his admissions, and his failures to
deny, what if it had been otherwise than
truth he would have fastened to deny,
you would have been discreetly silent on
the subject. Hence we fear no publication
on the testimony; on the contrary we well
come it. If Mr.. Dewey can afford to appear
in public, arrayed in the garb in which he
has attired himself, may, with entire
equanimity behold the edifying spectacle.
We have no grievance against Mr.. Dewey,
as Mr.. Dewey. We are not concerned with
his official shortcomings, which have been
thrust upon attention by those eager to
disclose them. On the contrary, we have
consistently refused to consider them, be
they as Pelion piled on Ossa. We are not
actuated by spite, or by a desire for ven
geance. We seek but justice, and the estab-
lishment of what to seems to be vital
principle underlying entire system of
government-the equality of all citizens in
the eye of the law, and of those who officially
administer it.
But we are warned, nay threatened, that
if we persist in attempt to obtain public
recognition of this principle, which theoret-
ically is declared to be the pride of our re-
public, there may develop a recrudescence
of racial and religious rage, with the result
of reawakening and deepening the old an

attended.
With you, I earnestly desire the removal
of all antipathy between Jew and Christian,
and my hope has been and is that the Jew
ish Encyclopedia will help to this end in
no little degree. We are well on now with
the work for the tenth volume, and have
about reached the point where we should
be able to effectively appeal to the Chris
tian public in behalf of the publication.
That this outside interest is beginning to
be deeply stirred is indicated by the in
closed review of volume VIII by the Cath
olic Times of England, which has Just
reached us. Any action that would rekindle
the flame of anti-Jewish prejudice would be
exceedingly unfortunate just now, and
should be avoided if possible.
1 know the deep injustice of the summer
hotel exclusion; but is there not grave dan
ger that in fighting it in this way you may
make Dewey a martyr of an American
social prejudice prejudice that is rapidly
dying out-and really help augment the evil
you are seeking to abate.
There is already talk of starting counter
petitions in favor of Dewey's retention.
Dewey is popular as librarian, ranking
among the best in the country. School SUI
perintendents like him and he has been non
sectarian and noracial in the discharge OF
his duties librarian. Hence these petl-
tions in his favor would be most probably
largely signed, and the result most likely
would be the stirring of deep feeling, the
making of charges and counter charges, en-
rendering bitterness which it would take
years to outlive.
In letters which have come under my
own eyes the claims are made that Mr..
Dewey's name has never appeared in any
printed matter or any letter as connected
with the Lake Placid Club, except in one
letter, and that this letter was drawn out
by decoy letters, in one of which the writer
said that he had never heard of Mr.. Dewey
and wished to know who he was, and the
answer was, as you quote in your petition
"Mr. Melville Dewey, the president of our
company, is the librarian of the state OF
New York" 1t is claimed that this is the
only letter in which this any similar
statement has ever been made, and that the
writing of such a letter was contrary to
Mr.. Dewey's explicit instructions. OF
course when these things are published
your side will reply and then there will be
counter replies, and the bitterest kind or
a controversy-the religious and racial
will rage with the result of reawakening
and deepening the old antipathy.
Will you not permit me to venture
suggestion of what appears to me to be
better plan That you and the other gen.
tlemen who have signed the petition ad-
dress a letter to the regents, withdrawing
your petition, as it has accomplished the
main object you had in view-the fixing of
public attention on the danger of public
officer lending any encouragement what
ever to a prejudice or injustice against
class of our fellow citizens. By so doing,
you, in my judgment, will gain great credit
for a sef-restraint, moderation and public
spirit that will rebound greatly to the ad-
vantage of your people
Whether you accept my suggestion or
not, kindly believe me, Yours sincerely,
I. K. FUNK.

Peace Terms Of History.

The Japanese conditions of peace,
from the Russian point of view, are
undeniably hard, but that is because
the price of defeat in war is always
terrible to the vanquished. The south.
ern states of the union paid no money
indemnity, but think what worse
things they suffered, says the Spring
field Republican. England had nc
mercy for the nationality of the Beers
she wiped it from the map. The
United States did not merely free
Cuba, but tore the entire colonial EN-
pire of Spain from the mother coun
try. Defeat itself is hardest to bear
Cessions of territory and indemnities
are in later years merely the scars OF
wounds that burned into the souls OF
vanquished peoples.
When we speak of peace terms as
dent that we can use the words only
in relative sense. What do the prof
fered terms signify in relation to the
broad issues of the war, and how dc
they compare with the terms exacted
by other victorious powers? 1t would
be unjust to hold Japan to higher
standards than the western nations
recognize in their own performances
If we contrast the japanese. conditions
of peace with the conditions which
Russia sought to impose upon Turkey
in 1878, the last occasion when the
st. Petersburg government occupied
the overwhelming position of a victor
in military struggle, it will probably
appear that the far eastern power will
not suffer by the comparison. What
ever the exact terms now offered by
Baron KOmura may prove to be-and
undoubtedly their general outline has
been correctly given-it is certain
that they fall short in severity of the
Russian terms embodied in the treaty
of San Stefano, which would have
been permanent but for the interven
ton of England and Austria and the
then concert of Europe.
