ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE STRAIGHT ROAD"

Blanche Walsh and her especially
selected company direct from the As
tor Theatre, New York. will be the at
on Monday evening. Her tour. since
leaving Broadway, has been a success
sion of triumphs for herself and for
The Stsaight Road" which is Clyde
Fitchs newest play. From the first
appearance of Miss Walsh in a wild
hurly-burly that sweeps into a slum
mission, until the great dramatic eli
max of the third act the audience is
said to be held spell-bound. The theme
of the play is the redemption of a girl
of the slums, not inherently evil but
who is endangered by her evil environ
ment. Strong, vivid and dramatic as
THE Straight Road is, the story 1t
tells is absolutely simple. A mission
worker seeks to upraise a girl of the
slums. She succeeds, but in the height
of her success the slum girl finds that
her protector of the mission is about to
marry man unworthy of her. She
wants to open the eyes of her patron,
and the way is presented when she
agrees to meet the man at her home.
He embraces her and is caught in the
act by his betrothed. The third act,
which is intense in it's realistic situa-
don, treats of this meeting. But in a
thoroughly unexpected and unusual
manner, Moll OHara proves her own
worth and the unworthiness of the
| man, saves her patron, and is herself
indicated

FOR HUMAN LIFE.

l.. twelve yeas there has c"'i only
one accident on the Delaware and Hud-
son railroad which cost the hfe or
passenger. In that accident, which was
due to an engineer disregarding sig
nal three lives were lost out OF the
"a, 600. 900 passengers carried during
that period. On one division OF the
road not one passenger has been Killed
in twenty years.
If this result can be reached on one
road, why not on all? 1t cannot be be-
cause the Delaware and Hudson en-
ploys all the first class railroad men IN
the country. 1t has no special facilities
for getting a higher type of employe
than other roads get. 1t is not because
traffic is light. because some of the
roads with worst records are roads
which carry few passengers, and some
portions of the Delaware and Hudson
are as busy as any lines in the United
States. 1t is because the best mechan-
ical devices are used, and the human
element is made reliable by discipline.
It is a tradition of the road. Nelson's
first draft of his famous signal at
Trafalgar was England requires every
man to do his duty" but before it was
displayed he changed it to England
expects every man to do his duty" On
this railroad fidelity to duty was first
required and is now expected.
Experiments tried on the Pennsylva-
MIA road during the week have shown
that 100 per cent of the train crews
obeyed signals to stop, three per cent
ran by the signals before stopping
These men have been reprimanded or
discharged. The other 81 per cent
stopped their trains before passing the
signal. The next time the experiment
is tried it is a moderate prediction that
SO per cent will stop before passing
the signal.
The slaughter of passengers by pre-
ventable accidents must be stopped.
The Delaware and Hudson is lucky to
have escaped unavoidable accidents
due to commissions of nature or other
causes which sometimes exist. But
other roads have also escaped the I'M
avoidable and yet killed passengers by
the hundreds. The best of intentions
is not enough. When a railroad pres
ident is killed on his own road it is
evident that he did not purposely omit
safeguards. WatchfulnesS, sternness,
efficiency must be found in the respon-
sible heads of a road and in the men
an esprit de corps which makes slack
ness unthinkable ana negligence a
crime. Electricity, compressed air,
lights and cOlOrs. steel and wood do
their duty. The human machine must
become equally reliable.

HER $50 EASTER HAT BURNED.

ATLANTA. Ga, April Ga $50
Easter hat which was being worn by
Miss Celeste Manton, burned this af-
ternoon while the owner was shopping.
The hat was destroyed and the young
woman badly scorched about the face
and neck before young man checked
the blaze by throwing his overcoat
over the young woman's head In the
wreck of the hat was found stub of q
cigaret which had been dropped from
a second story window and had caused
the fire.
Miss Manton had just bought the hat
and had tripped down the street to
catch car. Some one cried "fire!'
and the young woman, UNCONSCIOUS of
her fate, stepped out into the street,
to See where the fire was.
The wind famed the flames, and the
owner of the hat suddenly realized her
peril. The young woman made fren-
zied efforts to tear her hat off, but the
hatpins held until the young man
came to the rescue.

NEGRO FORD
NOW A BURGLAR
Assault on Boy No Charge
Says Judge brents

Freed from the charge of assault to
commit sodomy by the instruction OF
the court to the jury to bring in a ver-
dict of not guilty, William Ford. ne
gro. found himself face to face with a
charge of burglary filed against him by
the prosecuting attorney under the or
der of the court.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John
H. Mcdonald, who conducted the case
for the state, opposed Attorney E. F.
Bankers motion to dismiss on the
ground the fact that Ford advanced on
George Argobast, the prosecuting wit
ness, with a razor implied an assault.
The court held that a charge of as
sault could not be maintained in any
case where a person of his own will
desisted and there was no outside in
reference.
The court said he regretted the law
compelled him to allow the motion as
the evidence showed detestable conduct
On the part of the defendant. Some
crime had been committed-if not the
crime charged-as Ford had broken into
the room of the defendant.
The court then took the matter into
his own hands and directed the prose-
cutting attorney to prepare an Informal
ton against Ford for burglary and
have it ready when court reconvened
at lis o'clock.
The jury, which had been ordered to
retire during the argument. was re-
called and allowed to separate until at
ternOOn.
Only two witnesses were examined
by the state at the trial this morning.
George Argobast, the 17-year-old boy
with whom it was alleged. Ford at
tempted to commit the crime of sod
omy, and Officer Lambert.
The testimony showed that Ford en-
tered the room of young ArgObast at
o'clock and soclock in the morning
Of the date the crime was alleged to
have been committed. Argobast was a
young fellow employed as sort of
errand boy about the lodging house. He
testified that Ford had threatened to
drug him and later had threatened to
kill him with a razor if he made an
outcry.
Argobast escaped in his under
clothes and ran into Officer Lambert
at the foot of the stairs and the two
went up and searched for the negro
who was found several minutes later in
a saloon.
The jury who sat on the case this
morning are, Frank Il. Keiser, c. j.
Stringer j. D. Walter Robert c. Maier,
Charles Father. Frank Ennis, AleXan-
der Johnson. Denny Thomas. Abel G.
Weary. w. H. Kibler, Fred Coyle, and
N. 3. Atkinson.
When court recOnvened this after
noon the jury under the instructions of
Judge Brents brought in verdict of not
guilty on the sOdomy charge.
Information charging Ford with bur-
glary was Immediately filed and Mon
day set by the court for his arraign-
ment. The jury was discharged

STORk BEATS FAST TRAIN.
Mothers Wish That Child Be Born In.
der Stars and Stripes Denied.

DETROIT, Mich, April 6.-While a
Michigan Central immigrant train was
speeding it's way to Windsor this morn
ing boy was born to Mrs. Mary Ros-
enbloom, Russian immigrant on her
way to the United States. The mother
was anxious that the child be born in
the United States, the land of her
adoption, and the engineer put on full
speed at her request, but the stork took
matters in his own hands, and the
youngest member of the Rosenbloom
family will have to claim the Domin-
ion of Canada as the land of his ma
tivity, though he missed being born
under the Stars and Stripes by only a
few hours. One of the railroad sur
geOns remained with the mother and
her child until the train arrived at
Windsor.

LAST TUTTELL PATIENT OUT.
Family so Cruelty Afflicted With Ty
phoid to be Reunited.

Typhoid fever has struck the men,
bers of the Tuttell family merciless-
ly.
The Tuttells live at Prescott. Some
months ago fever broke out in the
home and one by one they have been
stricken and sent to st. Mary's hospi-
tai in this city.
Each has had a stubborn fight with
the disease but every one, thanks to
their careful nursing, has recovered.
Tomorrow the last of the unfortunate
family will leave the hospital and re-
turn home.
Then for the first time in many
months the eight persons comprising
this unlucky flock will be united ir
