In a Tower Averted Dis
dStrOuS Train Wreck.
THOUGHT QUICKLY
And Adopted the Lesser of Two
Evils -Derailed a Freight, but
Saved a Passenger Train.

Kalamazoo, Mich, June 3.-Edward
Egan, operator of the train signals in
the tower at the crossing of the Michi.
gan Central and the Grand Rapids &
Indiana railroads near this city, is be.
ing congratulated by his friends and
fellow railroad men upon retaining his
presence of mind and averting train
wreck with serious loss of life when
the situation seemed at the moment to
promise fatalities, whichever choice
he made Of two alternatives that were
open to him.
A Michigan Central freight train
that had gotten beyond the engineers
control was bearing down upon the
crossing, its whistle shieklng out ap-
peals for clear track. At the same
moment a Grand Rapids & Indiana
passenger train came along at full
speed Towerman Egan threw the de.
railer against the freight train.
For second ! hardly knew what
to do" he said in speaking of the Incl.
dent. II knew that TO leave the de-
railer thrown meant that the freight
would be wrecked. My imagination
pictured the bodies of the freight en-.
gineer and fireman buried beneath
their train-killed by turn Of my
hand. But If gave the freight clear
track 1t would have run squarely into
the passenger train and then there
might have been many killed. All
these things flashed through my mind
and instantly | knew that there was
but one thing to do, and that was to
let the freight go into the ditch.
stood and shuddered as the two trains
came toward the crossing and IL was
with a sigh OF rOlief that ! saw the
freight engine stay right side up. Four
cars behind II were tumbled and
broken into a pile of debris, but fortu,
narely nobody was hurt"

A LUCKY ST. LOUIS MAN.
He ls Believed TO Have Secured for
500 a Paintlnu by Titan.


st. Louis, June 3.--Edward Sells, OF
st. Louis. believes he has identified a
painting that he purchased a year ago
for less than 500 as the famous "St.
Jerome" painted by Titan about 1881.
No trace Of the painting has been had
since about 1929. Sells purchased the
picture from Allison K Stewart, d St.
Louis mining engineer, to whom IL
was given in 1900 by priest in the
mountains of Honduras after Stewart
had given him liberal offering OF sill
yer for his poor.
In 1881 Titan painted "St. Jerome"
by order of Duke Frederigo Gonzaga,
of Mantua. Before 1929. when Charles
!. of England bought most OF the art
treasures of the Gonzagas. the "St
Jerome" had disappeared When
Cortez conquered Honduras early in
the 10th century member OF
the GonZaga family accompanied him
and remained in Honduras. 1t is
Sells theory that the painting was
carried to Honduras by this man.
Stewart obtained the picture in the
town of San Geronimo, OF which st.
Jerome was the patron saint. Sells
has received letter from Mrs. Julia
Ady. an English biographer of Titan,
saying she believes Sells has Titian's
Est. Jerome"

TRAyfSTItS ON HIGH ART.
They are Seen on a Huge Billboard
just Opposite Carnegie Institute, In

Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, June Recommendation
Is following art In Pittsburg and the
bhrase is supplementing that of The
constitution following the flag" II is
brought about by an immense bill
board that has been erected directly
opposite the Carnegie Institute upon
which are portrayed travesties of
masterpieces within the walls OF the
building dedicated recently to the peo-
pie of Pittsburg by Andrew Carnegie.
There is distress among the trustees
of the institute and there is wrath in
the hearts of the residents in the
neighborhood Of the magnificent build
ing dedicated to art, science and liter
ature because OF the garish display OF
babies heads, gas stoves and sporting
goods.
The Objectionable signboard Is 140
| feet long and about 20 feet high and
faces the Carnegie Institute. II is
close to a fashionable boarding house
that has been practically forced TO
close.
The ideas suggested by some OF the
| panels are amusing. Among these Is
one advertising brand of beer that is
associated with the colors of the Car
negie tartan or plaid and which has
been named after one OF Carnegie's in
stitutions. II Is claimed by the adver-
tlsers that 1t is only in harmony with
the proprletles and the environment,
that those who patronize the institute
should drink no other beer than this.

ORCHARD'SnSTORY
Is Said to be the Prosecutions Trump
Card, but Every Effort Will be
Made to DiSuedit 1t.

Boise, Idaho June 3.--The work OF
procuring a jury in the case of Will
lam d. Haywood, charged with the
murder of eX-Gov. Steuuenberg, will
be resumed to-day unless the prisoner
has a relapse. Haywood is himself
again. Although a little pale as a re-
suit of the medicine administered to
relieve him from the acute pain which
he suffered Saturday, he appeared TO
be in his normal condition Sunday.
Judge Wood is determined jury shall
he procured to-day If possible Forty
four talesmen remain OF the yenire OF
81 summoned last week.
The opening address to the jury will
be the first official outlining Of the
charge that the prosecution hopes to
prove. Ever since the arrest Of Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettlbone, specula-
tion as to the evidence has been rife.
Except in the most general way no
authoritative statement has been
given out 1t is now nearly 16 months
since Harry Orchard, who by his own
confession, II is now alleged Is the as.

derstood that the case for the defense
will not be shown until after the case
for the prosecution is all in. II may
therefore be several weeks before Mr..
Richardson delivers his opening ad-
dress. II Is conceded that the intro
duction of evidence for the state aud

will be contested at every point This
will mean probably that the stat" will
not be able TO conclude under three
weeks. or possibly 80 days. The case
for the defense will take equally as
long It may therefore ba estimated
that the case will last 80 days after
the opening. Sixteen days of actual
work has been spent In the effort to
get jury. Counting the adjourn
ments the case has now been going on
one month.
