CRUSHED BENEATH
ELEVATOR WEIGHT
UNCONSCIOUS, FALLS TO TOP OF
CAGE
Janitor of Mason Block, n. M. Rhodes,
Loses Arm Through Accident
Caused by inexperienced
Conductor

Through the carelessness of an ele-
vator boy, H. M. Rhodes, head janitor
at the Mason block, yesterday suffered an
injury which cost him his left arm.
Rhodes was engaged in cleaning the
shaft which runs from the top of the
elevator to the supports chnve. A new
employe was in charge of the elevator.
While Rhodes was working the young
man without any warning turned on the
power and the elevator shot up. The
heavy weight which governs the speed
of the elevator descended at a rapid
rate, striking Rhodes on the arm and
knocking him unconscious on the top Of
the elevator.
The noise of his fall was heard by the
elevator boy, who brought the car to a
stop. Witnesses of the accident then
came to his assistance and the injured
man was carried out Word was sent to
the receiving hospital and the police
ambulance was sent for Rhodes.
After the injured man was taken to the
receiving hospital his arm was found to
be in such a condition that amputation
was necessary, and Drs. Garrett and
Wiley performed the operation.
Rhodes is 81 years of age and lives
with his family at 419 Cottage Home
avenue.

Police Rush to e3a Gladys Avenue as
Wooden Knife PIunges To-
ward Woman During
Rehearsal

To prevent tragedy being enacted
in the house at S38 Gladys avenue the
neighbors sent a hurried call to the
police last night.
Attention was first attracted to the
place by loud voices. This was fol-
lowed by screams and cries and when
the startled neighbors ran out into the
street to see what was the matter
shadows upon the window curtains
showed a man and woman in strug-
gle. The man yas seen to leap at the
woman and catch her by the throat
while a cry for mercy came from her
lips.
The woman was fiercely denounced
by the man and the shadow of his arm
went up with great knife clasp in 1t.
Then the blade was plunged into her
breast.
The police had been telephoned for
in the meantime and just at this point
Patrolman Black came up on the run.
He wasted no time with preliminaries
but burst into the house at once.
In the front room very mucn
startled man and woman were found.
There was no gore spread around, the
knife was a wooden one and the actors
were that in reality, being ]. B. Hol-
an act in Monte Cristo,' which they
an act in Monte Cristo, which they are
are to play for charity next week.
After the matter was explained the
policeman went away, the neighbors
withdrew and the treacherousa inn
keepers wife was again punished for
her crimes.

governments is attributed to the increased
coal consumption by the warships. All
native coal is being used for this purpose

! An officer of the Reading company
explained that his company was COM
PEELED to decline all such orders because
of the great demand for coal among GUS
toners in this country and because of
the scarcity of labor at. the collieries.
The same conditions confronted every
other anthracite company as well as all
bituminous operators, he said. 1t was
further explained that the shortage of
all grades of coal is increasing daily, and
many western railroads are now much
disturbed concerning the supply for the
coming winter.
Men who formerly worked in the mines
are seeking employment in less dangerous
lines of business. Many have abandoned
mining as a means of livelihood and have
turned to farming in western states.
Foreigners who formerly came to the
United States to take up mining now seek
employment in other fields.
