FORM LIFE SAVING
CREW AT VENICE
Special to The Herald.

VENICE, Sept. 15.-The establish
ment of a government life-saving sta

fected in the very near future.
All but a small part of the funds

boat and apparatus has been sub
scribed, and as the cost of the mainte-

the government, but little remains to
be done before the plans will be carried
out.
The local bath house management is
back of the project, and from it's em-
ployes a large part if not all of the life
saving corps will be made up. Among

to be quite familiar with the work OF
that agency and with newspaper life.
In the opinion of the London manager
of the Associated Press, Boyd probably
lived in San Francisco, and perhaps
was employed in the mechanical de-
partment of the New York Herald, or
knew some of the men there.
Boyd spent two days at the Savoy
hotel, and while there attempted to
cash check for $3.50. The officials de-
clined, but one Of the clerical staff
advanced him $50 on an o u, retaining
the check for $3.50 as security. The 1
o U is signed, in a sprawling hand,
Robert Boldwern." He disappeared
shortly after receiving the money with
out paying his hotel bill.
Messrs. Marshall notified the Asso-
ciated Press of the check they had
cashed for Boyd the previous Saturday,
and on the same day cablegram was
received from the Hamburgerhof, Ham
burg, asking if Edward Bailey was
still in the employ of the Associated
Press. Boyd and Bailey were seen to
be identical because of the use of the
name u. G.. Scott"

A DAY OF THANKSGIWRG
President Issues Proclamation Set
ting Aside November 90.
he Declares THAT Never before ua
sueh Prosperity neen En-
toyed by Any Nation.

Washington. b. c. - The president
Tuesday Issued a proclamation nam.
ing Thursday, November 20, as 8
day Of Thanksgiving. The text Of the
proclamation in part follows.
The time Of year has come when.
In accordance with the wise custom
Of our forefathers, it becomes my duty
to set aside a special day OF thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty
because Of the blessings we have re.
oived, and of prayer that these bless.
ings may be continued. Yet another
year Of widespread well being has
passed. Never before in u history
or in the history OF any other nation
has a people enjoyed more Astounding
material prosperity than is ours; a
prosperity so great that Il should
arouse in us no spirit OF reckless pride
and least Of all a spirit Of Needless
disregard OF our responsibilities: but
rather a sober sense OF our many
blessings, and a resolute purpose, IN
der providence. not to forfeit them
by any action OF our own.
Material well being. indispensable
though It Is. can never be anything
but the foundation Of true nationai
greatness and happiness. II we build
nothing upon this foundation then our
national life will be as meaning
less and empty as a house where
only the foundation has been laid
Upon our material well being must
be built a su-perstructurs of individual
and national lie lived in accordance
with the laws Of the highest morality
or else cur prosperity itself VIII in
the long run turn cut a curse in
stead Of a blessing. We should be
both |rsyerently thankful for what we
have received ana earnestly bent up
on turning it into a means OF grace
and not OF destruction.
Accordingly, l hereby set apar,
Thursday. the Goth day OF November
next, as the DAY Of thanksgiving and
supplication on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches. devoutiy acknowledge all
that has been giyen them. and 10
pray that they may In addition re-
eeiye the power 20 use these gifts

is CASH
Advertising Space Can Not Be
Exchanged for Il.
Commission Replies TO Publishers
Protest-Facillties Of Pubic Car
rier Not Private Property.

Washington, d. C.-Under a ruling
Of the interstate comerce commits
sion, transportation over railroad
lines no longer may be given to news
paper publishers or editors In ex-
change for advertising space.
A protest against this ruling has
been received from the M~assacchu-
sets Press association, which SAYS
that the association unanimously
voted to enter its protest against the
reported ruling in holding that the
payment for railroad transportation
at full rates in advertising shall be
treated on any other basis than that
OF transportation paid for 10 cash"
In response to the protest. Chair
man Knapp, Of the commission, says
in part:
You are aware, OF course. that all
tariffs filed In compliance with the
regulating statute name rates in
dollars and cents. and do not In any
case provide that transportation can
be paid for with property. Il seems
plain TO the commission that the law
ABOVE quoted coupled with the fact
stated permits payment for services
OF interstate carriers only In money.
This ruling Of the commission IN
no way interferes with or abridges
the rights Of private contracts. News
papers and their advertising space
may be freely exchanged for any spe-
cies OF property upon such terms as
may be acceptable to the parties to
the transaction. But the facilities OF
the public carrier are not private
property. nor are they subject 20
bargain and sale like merchandise.
The right 10 travel or have property
carried by rail. like tie right to the
common highway. is not a contract
right. but a political right. the very
essence OF which Is iis equality"

TO WATERY GRAVE
Fifty-Seven Lives Lost In a Wreck
at Atlantic City, N. ].
A Train Of Three Electric Cars
Plunged on n Bridge Into %
Feet OF water.

Atlantic City, N. J. "A railroad
accident that was even worse than
the Meadow wreck Of July 80, 1896,
sent about 81 people to a sudden death
Sunday afternoon, catching them like
rats In a trap. The cars Of the 1880
electric train Of the West Jersey &
seashore railroad lines. due here at
$3.50 jumped the track on the trestle
bridge over the Thoroughfare and be.
fore any n could get out they were
hurled to a watery grave. The tres
tie is about Is feet above the water
and the drop to the water required
several seconds. giving time for the
passengers. men. mt and children
to see and calculate their fate.
Forty-four bodies were recovered up
wreeking train is now at work trying
toll o'clock Monday morning and the
wreeking train is now at work trying TO
hoist the submerged cars from the
water. whore fully 20 dead bodies must
be entombed. The accident was due
to a rail turning in" Il appears
that the rail which was an outside one
on the right hand side coming down
must have been out OF plumb about an
eighth Of an inch. The sharp flange
Of the electric train caught this and
twisted it inwards, Had It spread in.
stead Of twisting inwards the accident
never would have happened This
twist threw the first car off the track
and into tho water. The result was
that the second and third cars were
dragged with It and while the third
a was descending. the rear portion
struck a piece Of the abutment. hung
for a short time and then slid into the
water
A number of men and a few ONE
leaped out Of windows and the rear
door either into the water or caught
hold OF a post and were rescued. It was
stated that fully so to 100 passengers
were aboard mostly all crowded into
the first and second cars. These are
engulfed. Among the passengers were
20 men OF the Royal artillery band
who were on their way here from
Philadelphia.
