against crimes of violence and brutal
ity. We have wrought nightly for
the peace OF righteousness both among
the nations and in social and Industrial
life here at home. Much has been done,
and we are girding up our loins to do
more.
I'm all these matters there have been
some men in public life and some men
in private life whose action has been
at every point one of barren criticism
or fruitless obstruction. THESE men
have had no part or lot In the great
record of achievement and success:
the record of good work worthily done.
Some of these men have been colleRe
graduates; but all of them have been
poor servants of the people. useless
where they were not harmful All the
credit for the good thus accomplished
in the public life OF this decade belongs
to those who have done affirmative
work in such matters as those L have
enumerated above. and not to those
who. with more or less futility. have
sought to hamper and obstruct the
work that has thus been done.
In short, you college men, be doers
rather than critics OF the deeds that
others do. Stand stoutly for your
ideals; but keep In mind that they can
only be realized, even partially, by
practical methods of achievement. Re-
member always that this republic OF
ours is a very real democracy. and
that you can only win success by show
ing that you have the right stun IN
you. The college man. the man OF
intellect and training. should take the
lead In every fight for civic ana sociai
righteousness He can take that lead
only II ina spirit Of thoroughgoing de-
mocracy he takes his place among ms
fellows not standing aloof from them
but mixing with them, so that he may
know, may feel. may sympathize with
their hopes. their ambitions. their prin-
ciples--and even their prejudices-as

into complete severance of relations.
Negotiations have been going on tor
nearly month.
The men are asking for an eight
hour day and an increase in wages OF
is per cent.
The railroad officials issued state
ment saying they were willing to grant
an increase OF per cent In pay, and
that this was their final answer. The
union officials reply to this announce
ment was that II such was the case
1T would be useless to continue the ne
gotiations looking to q settlement and
that unless the railroads were willing
to grant further concessions the aues-
ton of strike would be voted on at
once. Late Thursday night arrange
ments were made for another meeting
when n final effort will be made to
come to a peaceful understanding.

Thaw's Attorneys Declare They
Will Fight Jerome's Move
to Last Ditch
LONG ORDEAL FOR YOUNG WIFE
May Be Kept on tho Stand for Several
Days-Delmas Said to Have : Sem
sation in Store by sprinsins Letters
Written by Stanford White Other
News.

New York, Feb. 23-Any attempt
which may be made by District ATT
torney Jerome to have a commission
in lunacy appointed to examine Harry
X. Thaw, will be vigorously opposed
by Thaw's attorneys, according to an
nouncement made today by A. Russell
Peabody. He said that "Delmas, sup
ported by other counsel, will fight
against 1t to the last ditch"
Mrs. Thaw visited her husband early
today and remained with him three
hours She appeared in much better
condition physically than at the time Of
her visit yesterday.
| According to an official statements
given out today by Mrs. William Thaw,
the story that 100000 had been settled
upon Mrs. Harry K. Thaw, by her
husbands family for the position she
has taken in the trial, is untrue. un-s
warranted and unjust"
New York, Feb 23.-The principals
i in the Thaw trial spent the day in rest,
everyone apparently relishing the re-
spite from the scenes which marked
this weeks proceedings. BY the time
the hearing is resumed next Monday
morning 1t Is expected Mrs. Thaw will
have entirely recovered her composures
and will be prepared again to take her
place as Witness
| Jerome will keep Mrs. Thaw on the
stand at least day and a half more.
and may even stretch his searching;
cross examination thru twice that
length Of time. It will depend upon
how Mrs. Thaw feels at the end 81 thiel
lperiod as to whether or not ThaWsas
counsel will go ahead with their fo~s
direct examination Of her. Dolmaa -
been taking copious notes during Je-s
rome's questioning OF the witnesss and
he will likely endeavor to place q dif>S
ferent light upon some OF the incidents
!, disclosed. With the cross ss-examinatio1
only half completed and the redirect
and cross examination still in view
there seems no way to approximats'
the number OF days in the witness
chair Mrs. Thaw has before her.
II she is much fatigued at the, end
Of Jerome's first cross ss-examination
to recall. In view of the fact, however,
the defendants counsel forced the dis
trict attorney to proceed with the
cross-examination against his will, he
| will very likely insist in return that
| they shall also conclude with the wit-s
ness before she is excused from tho
stand.
| Mrs. Thaw on direct examinations
identified forty-two letters as being
in the handwriting Of White. The let-s
| ters were not written to her, but to-
another girl Delmas evidently IS
holding these letters for introduction
during the redirect examination, and
evidently hopes to have them admitted
as or setting something Jerome was
expected to bring out in the cross-ex-
animation. No intimation has been
given as to what the letters contain,
| or to whom they were written. They
may constitute new element of sur-
prise which is yet to be injected into
1 a case which has already been SO pros
| life iof astounding incidents.

likewise. The third car turned over
completely and had its top crushed in.
The fourth car is on it's side.
Most OF the passengers of the train
We're in their berths when the cars left
the tracks. Attempts to ascertain an
accurate and definite casualty list Of
the wreck thus far have been hampered
by the railroad officials.
Officials Say Mono Was Killed.
Altoona sFeb. >23.-As far as can be
learned from the Pennsylvania officials
here no one was killed in the wreck
near Johnstown. There are fifty four
passengers on the train, nearly all OF
whom were hurt. Only one passenger.
John f. Kline, postmaster of Joliet, ILL.,.
was fatally injured. The first reports
that Postmaster Busse OF Chicago, and
Samuel Nixon were fatally injured, was
incorrect. Neither Is seriously hurt.
The east bound passenger train ar
rived on the scene soon after the ac-
cident occurred and the crew and pas
sengers turned out and gave their at
tention to caring Tor the injured. Some
OF the more seriously injured were
brought to the hospital in this city. A
few were taken to the hospital at
Johnstown, but the greater number,
whose injuries are slight, continued
their journey westward on special
train.
The telegraph lines were torn down
when the train left the track and COM
munication with railroad headquarters
was delayed for nearly an hour. AS
soon as possible Superintendent Long
sent relief train from Johnstown to
the scene Of the accident, carrying
physicians and supplies.
The flyer was composed of COM
bination parlor car. two sleeping cars,
and an observation car. When the train
left the rails instead of falling over.
the cars slipped down the embankment,
which was covered with ice and snow,
into the river. Fortunately the water
was very shallow.
Suffer From the Cold.
Had IT. not been for this, it is prob
able many passengers would have
been drowned before assistance could
have reached them. AS 1t was, escape
from death was very narrow. With
out clothing and exposed to the ele-
ments of>one of the coolest nights of
the year, the suffering OF the passen-
gers for time was extreme The ar
rival of the train from the west and
prompt response of doctors from
Johnstown and South Fork saved them
from suffering serious consequences
from the extreme cold weather. Rail-
road officials made every effort to care
for the injured. There were only four
women on the train. Only one of them
escaped injury.

over 100 Foot Embankment.

The train, which was west bound
was running about fifty miles per hour
and was thirty-five minutes late. When
rounding a sharp curve at Black Dia-
rnond the Pullman coaches left the
rails and plunged over 100 foot en-
nankment into the river.
All attempts to obtain Information
from the railroad officials met with re-
buffs at every hand. 1t is believed the
missing are dead in the wreckage. The
accident was caused by the brake rig
gine on the first Pullman dropping
down and tearing up the rails for 300
wards. The engine and combination
coach did not leave the rails, but the
four Pullmans following ploughed down
over the embankment to the river loo

reached the bottom.
