GIVES LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS.
Poor Dane Perishes in Collapse of Der
rick While Others Are Rescued.

Poor Dane Perishes in Collapse of Der
rick While Others Are Rescued.
Frederick Schroeder, poor Danish
laborer working in the capacity OF
mason helper, died a heroic death at
Kenosha when he gave up his life in
order to save the life of two of his
friends and fellow workmen. The man
was crushed under a heavy derrick
after falling twenty feet and died an
hour after he had been remoy I'd to
the hospital.
Schroeder was working as a helper
to a number of masons employed III
building a fire wall on the roof Of the
new Northwestern freight depot at
KenOsha, and in order to get mortar
and brick to the top of the roof great
derrick had been set up. Schroeder
was working at the top of the derrick
and had just started to haul away
load of brick and mortar when ne mo-
ticed that the derrick was falling. Two
men were at work under the derrick,
and shouting to them with all his
might. Schroeder took hold of the
great timbers in an effort to hold them
in place until the men got out OF
harms way. Schroeder could have
saved himself by jumping to one SIDE,
but he thought only of the safety or
the men below.
In the second in which Schroeder
stayed the fall OF the derrick the men
got out of the way, but it was too late
for Schroeder to save himself, and he
was carried down with the derrick and
buried under the debris. AS soon as
possible the injured man was re-
moved from under the debris, but he
was Unconscious and terribly mangled
He was hurried to the hospital, but
never regained consciousness
Schroeder was thirty-two years OF
age and had been married only two
months. The men who had been
saved by his act fingered about the
hospital, sobbing like children.-W.

Work on pier Resumed.

The work of laying concrete for the
big south pier at the Superior entry

commenced again, after year and
half in which no work of that kind has
been done on the million-dollar project

summer spent on the work.
+ It is expected that the south pier
may be completed next year, and work
will then be started on the north pier,
which will prove almost as extensive
a job.

Northerner of mere simple mindedness
that leads him to express surprise be-
ca,he a Southern audience, especially
in Richmond should cheer Dixie" with
more heartiness than they do any 9TH

most as much cheering and enthusiasm

South. 1t has a lit and charm about

almost jealous when we read how 1t

that was related to the Confederacy.

spend some of his time among the
Southern people. he would be educated
in several respects where he is now

NON VOTING DUE TO NON INTER-
EST

The recent letter of Hon S. j.
Bowie In favor of doing away with the
cumulative feature of the Apoll tax.
published in last Sundays, Birming-
ham Age-Herald is a strong document,
but not convincing to our mind and
Judgment We publish 1t in full in
today's Advertiser so that our readers
can read and judge for themselves.
Under present plans ever one hat of
thoss SUBJECT to payment of poll tax
have complied with the law. We be-
lieve that In the end the great bulk
of those who are delinquent can be
made to see their duty and pay up
bfeore the list of February.
The poll tax requirement is not the
melting cause to non voting which has
become such habit in ali the South
ern States where there is practically
but one party. Even in the recent
primary In Alabama the vote was less
than one hundred thousand when 1t
is safe estimate to say two hundred
thousand should have shown interest
enough to qualify themselves and
vote. Thousands of men who had paid
their poll tax and who were registered
did not vote. Other thousands who
were not liable to poll tax and were
duly registered remained away from
the polls There Is a cause for this
other than failure to pay poll tax
because poll tax requirement did not
reach vast number of non voters. 1t
was lack Of interest, because after all
1t wa sa contest between members of
the same party. largely advocating the
same policy and the non voters did not
erence. This Indifference was not con-
fined to those considered illiterate or
i'll informed. Thousands of our most
intelligent people refrained from vot-
Ing and this indifference is going to
continue until real party divisions
bring men to the polls. The last heavy
voting in Alabama was in 1892, when
Weaver received s5,1S1 votes and
Cleveland 1888. and Republican tick
ct s,197, a total of 222,51e. Here was
an exciting cause for voters and the
great bulk of the $4,000 voters were
white men. Mr.. Bowie is mistaken in
attributing the gregg mass of non vot-
ing to the poll tax requirement. Get
UP a moving cause and the voters will
come.
Non voting in Mississippi and Louis
lana where there is no cumulative poll
tax confinement is inst as noticeable
as here In Alabama. 1t was lamenta-
bly, noticeable in Virginia at the lat
est primaries in that state
