NAN BRAVES FIRE
TO RESCUE WIFE
Forgets About Saving House
Until Woman Is

CLEVELAND. Aug 29.-AIthough al
most suffocated. Benjamin Bernstein. a
clothier Of 1924 Orange avenue south
east. carried his wife out of mis- blaz-
ing home to safety yesterday afternoon.
The blaze. which started I'm the kitch-

entire rear of the house I'm flames. Bern
stein. who was at the time sitting IN

smoke. rushed inside and called 10 his
wife whom he knew to be some place
in the building.
He quickly 6gured that she must he

Mrs. Bernstein. who was suSAliy lL
and had lain down I'm her room. knew

Bernstein seized her in his arms ana,
making his way with difficulty down
the smoke filled stairway, carried hcr
TO safety.
Bernstein then beth1ught him of say

Helpful PateTnaliSm.

Up i'm New Hampshire they have
a sort of addendum 10 the liquor
laws. which, while 1t savors of that
terrible "paternalism" that so many
affect to dread-mostly statesmen
who oppose Government ownership
of anything-is so beneficial in its
results that it ought TO be adopted
everywhere as temperance meas
ure We refer to the famous "dry
list" as put into operation in yari-
Gus cities and towns of the Granite
State.
The average citizen doesn't care to
be put on the dry list" for various
reasons. When man gets 10
''steaming it" at "a too rapid rate.
and his people or the police com
plain, the city marshal adds his
name to the doleful galaxy of those
who can get no alcohol in that
particular town. 1t is a disgrace
and a deprivation. in one, for the
list is more or less public and the
saloon keeper dare not supply the
individual for fear of losing his
license. The natural tendency is to
keep him sober.
And there is another phase of the
kindly supervision.
At last the dry list" time ex-
pires and the members thereof are
informed, as one New Hampshire
paper puts it. that they "can now
walk into any saloon in the city
and get their toddy provided that
they have the required sum to pur-
chase the booze"
Yet no recllessness is to be per-
mitted. If the released ones pro-
ceed 10 get drunk ana make them
selves obnoxious, back go their
names on the dry list" again. So
not only does the subject hesitate
to tank up" but the liquor seller
himself declines 10 permit a Gus
toner to acquire a jag" with the
probable result of losing his trade
for another year.
In its every aspect the system
seems to work well and show clear

immigration Common Sense.

Il line exhibition OF common
sense is afforded by the action of
the Department Of Commerce and
Labor in admitting TO this country
the Jewish children detained at New
York harbor the other day. An ap-
peal from prominent Hebrews
throughout the country carried the
case to Washington from the board
of special survey, which had re-
fused the young orphans admission,
and il viii be contrary 10 all prece-
dent if the future does not album
dantly Justify the appeal.
The situation was this:
Twenty-eight children, bereft of
their parents by recent masaacrea
in Russia, were sent to this coun-
try by Il Jewish aid society of Ber-
lin. Intending immigrants whose
passage is paid by other persons are
by rule classcd as likely to be-
come public charges" and so must
be excluded. \ board of special
survey sat upon this case and de
cided that the children came within
that classification. Thereupon nu-
merous co-reHgionists of the little
waits petitioned the department to
intervene.
The Secretary and the commits
sioner general, considering the in
terest of the petitioners and the
weIl-Imown character Of the Hebrew
citizen. decided that these children
were as unlikely 10 become public
charges as any other immigrants,
and that in spite of the depart
ment's rule they should be adj
mitted.
Even the most resolute opponent
of unrestricted immigration ought
to be satisfied with that decision.
The purpose of the restrictions is
To safeguard the country against
undesirable citizens. The jews of
America. whether born i'm this
country or elsewhere, whether en-
gagged in trade or the professions,
have borne their share of the public
burdens, and more than their share,
all over the country. Their inter
est in these children is an entirely
trustworthy pledge that the immi-
grants viii never become public
charges. but viii be educated, in
stead, and equipped to earn gener-
Gus livings. Admitting them was
the course of plain, ordinary, COM
mon sense.

ON THE DEEP LAKE TRAIL.

Astir AT the break Of dawn.
And up with the rising sun,
A hasty fry from the brook hard by,
The pack rolled up. one glance at the
sky.
And the days march is begun.
A rhythm Of feet and brain,
With the senses all in tune
To the birch trees sheen mid the faroff
green,
The gush OF the brook. the jaybird' S
scream
And the scent Of the woods in June.
a bed of boughs beside the trail
Beneath a whispering pine,
The campfire bright. the starlit night,
And the inward peace of an awed de-
light
Such a life is mine.

NEW RESERVOIRS OF OIL
Marked Change Noted Recently in
Condition Of the Oil Fields
IN Texas.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. Z9.-Re-
markable changes in the OIL fields Of
Texas since the Chilean earthquake are
ascribed by scientists and geologists TO
the seismic disturbances. The authori-
ties declare that the movements of the
Garth have opened new channels for
the immense SubteTranedn reservoirs OF
oil and that the fields within 100 miles
of the coast VIII soon be exhausted.
After the earthquake all the Texas
fields began to show a startling and
rapid decline, while an oh heretofore
unknown in this part of the country
has replaced the crude oil in three or
four of the wells. The new oil is
very light and il is believed that there
has been general shifting OF the oil
and mineral bearing straits.

calendar of ST. Mary's Catholic Church,
at Lynn. Mass. Manager Arthur J. Teel-

Real Remedies Needed.

Something very large and signif-
cant is doing in connection with
the financial affairs of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad.
1t was for many years dominated
by the house of Armour. Hill and
Morgan tried to buy control of it
several years ago, but failed, and
took the Burlington instead.
The St. Paul treasury contains Il
cash surplus of $4,000, 900, supple
mented by authorization to sell a
large amount of new stock. The
company has decided to extend its
lines TO the Pacific coast, and is
now laying rails. If 1t carries out
the plan it will become a close com
petitor of the HiI-Nlorgan system
in that territory.
Hin and Morgan don't want it TO
build into their Northwestern ter
ritory. Report is that they ar~
making determined efforts once
more to get control, and that if
they succeed they will change the
course of the extension and send It
southwest into California instead of
northwest into Washington. making
il a competitor of the Hartman
system rather than of the Hill sys-
tenn Hartman, of course, objects
To this invasion of his preserves,
and in self-protection is reported
also as trying to buy control. So
there is possibility of corner in
the stock, exactly similar to the
Northern Pacific climax of BLUE
Thursday"
When the ''Blue Thursday" affair
wrecked fortunes and threatened
the financial world with huge disas-
ter. there was much bemoaning Of
the fact that such things might be.
1t was all wrong that two groups
of gamblers should thus menace the
country's business and prosperity.
1t ought TO be stopped. Everybody
was agreed.
But il didn't stop. The Northern
Securities trust was organized and
dissolved: the Hartman combina-
tion developed. Each combination
still stands; each is dominated by a
single genius of finance and trans
portation; each is an unquestion-
able violation of the spirit of the
antitrust law.
How little is cared for laws, writ
ten or unwritten, or for the COM
mon decencies of business, was
shown by the colossal betrayal Of
trust the other day in the Union
Pacific melon-cutting. The men
who managed 1T made scores of mil
lions; the men who reposed conf
dence in the honor of those man
ayers lost those millions. And still
nothing is done about it.
We are facing the serious posi-
bility of a St. Paul corner, with an
other trail of disaster and ruin in
its wake. Nobody is doing any
thing about it. Nobody has done
anything since the crash of "Blue
Thursday" to prevent a repetition
of il. No preventive legislation has
even been attempted. Gamblers are
as free to sacrifice the public as
ever; directors may continue betray-
ing their trust and robbing their
stockholders.
The world was shocked by the in
surance revelations. Laws were
passed in that case. TO better condi-
tions. But with what effect? The
Wall Street interests are again bat
Ting for control, and chances seem
to favor their success. Some rene
dies that will remedy seem very
much needed in the legal pharmaco-
poeia of this land

rapidly becoming the fashion in Vir-

which has hitherto been preferred. For
this reason the stock farmers follow the
thoroughbred hunter classes with the
keenest interest.
Immediately following the thorough
bred hunters came the free-fOr-all hand

horses that have won a championship,
