WORKING VERY HARD
TO SECURE RECRUITS
Both Branches of Service Are
Busy in Richmond.
MANY MEN ARE APPLYING.

From the manner in which Corporal
Smeltz of the marine corps and Ser
geant Stambach for the United States
army, are working Richmond to Sc
cure men for Uncle Sans forces. a
man not acquainted with the circum-
stances would think that Uncle Sam
had already declared war against the
Japanese and half of the United
States forces were annihiiated. There
is strong rivalry between the army
and the marine corps and each re-
cruiting officer is doing his best to
beat the other in securing men for
either service. Men rejected at one
post invariably seek the other to get
into the service but as the result
they are refused at both places The
marine corps has duties to perform on
both land and water while the army
confines it's efforts to land. UD-to-
date, and since the marine corps has
been established in Richmond the
lead is with Sergeant Stambach, as
every day visitors call on him asking
for admittance to the soldier ranks.
The high quality of men leaving Rich
mond and serving successfully in the
army is responsible for the location of
two different recruiting stations in
Richmond. which necessarily stirs up
the rivalry between the two recruiting
officers.
The number of men seeking admit
tance to both the army and marine
corps in Richmond is remarkable.
The fever seems to have gained full
impetus and every day both recruit
ing officers have been besieged with

While Trying to Board Fast
Mail Train He Fell Be-
meath the Wheels.
HIS TOES WERE CUT or.
ENGLE6ERT FELL IN SUCH a
WAY THAT HIS ESCAPE FROM
DEATH is CONSIDERED Ex.
CEEDINGLY REMARKABLE.

William Englebert, better known in
Richmond as Ginger Bill,' had
narrow escape from immediate death
near the North Eighth street. Penn

ening. but suffered the loss of his
toes on the right foot. They were

The accident occurred about Gao
o'clock. No. IL, the rast mail train
which stops In Richmond about that
time. was pulling out of the Pennsyi-
vania station at "A rapid rate. En-
glebert was standing on the Eighth
street crossing apparently waiting for
the mail train, that he might catch it
and bum his way westward. Evident
ly his intention was to 30 to Indiana
polls, as that is the first stop for the
mail train west of Richmond The
train approached the crossing at In
creasing speed and Englebert made
ready to jump. AS the first coach
passed him he caught the railing on
both hands. He could not get upon
the platform of the car and was drag
ged for short distance and fell
across the rails underneath the train.
Clarence DeArmond, who witnessed
the accident, stated that Englebert's
chest was directly across the rails,
and thinking the man would meet in
stant death he turned his face. When
he looked again, however, the train
had passed and Englebert was lying
at the side of the track apparently un-
hurt. How Englebert escaped from
the perilous position i'm which he was
thrown. DeArmond says he does not
know, but 1t was nothing short of won
derful. DeArmond ran to Ginger
Bill's" assistance but at the time he
arrived upon the scene. Engiebcrt

limped off. the entire fore part of his
foot in a mangled condition. He walk
ed TO the Hiatt drug store in this
condition, more than one half square
away. Here an ambulance was call
ed and the man was taken to the hos
pital where his injuries were attended
to. His toes are gone.
The Pennsylvania railroad seems TO
be Englebert's hoodoo. In the spring
Englebert was a passenger on one Of
the first excursions run to Cincinnati
during the high waters at that place.
Near Cincinnati while standing on tho
platform of one of the coaches. En-
glebert last his hat and thinking the
water was only few inches deep near
the railroad tracks, stepped off the
train into water up to his neck. He
was rescued by two policemen.

Chief Bailey heard what the young
man had to say he told Jobes to cease
his attentions to Miss Harte and
thereby avoid trouble. The parents
of the young lady object to having
their daughter keep company with
Jobes.
At the Harte home it is stated that

he would not be interviewed as he
wished to avoid newspaper notoriety

he would say. He said that 1t is none
of the public's business what took
place at the Harte home and II the
newspapers printed anything about
the case he would make it hot for
them.
The police refuse to discuss the
case but Chief Bailey stated that the
melodramatic episode at the Harte
home occurred about as reported"

lately began to cause mild sensa-
ton. Elaborate clothing was pur-
chased and wherever he wandered
about the city excited comments from
spectators by his magnificent attire

BRYAN'S NEW IDEA
 WON'T GO; OVERMAN
NORTH cARoLINlAN SAYS HIS STATE FOUGHT PoPULlsTs TOO HARD ON INITIATIVE AND REF ERENDUM TO LIKE IT NOW.

Washington, April A.-( Special )-"Down in North Carolina only a very few years ago, we made things mighty hos for Ma rioa Butler and his populistic followers on this question of initiative and refer endum. That being the case we would have to eat considerable crow if the prin- ciple were placed in the democratic plat form
 Senator Overman of North Carolina, who was in the city today, gave express sion to the above sentiment tonight. His sta.e ten years ago was hotbed for populism. Marion Sutler was elected to the Senate as 4 populist. His colleague was a republican, '. c. Pritchard.
 It required the hardest kind of work for such men as the present able sena- tor to dislodge the populists from power They finally succeeded, however, and if there ia anything North Carolina dem ocrat hates it is a popuist.
 My opinion,' continued Senator Over man, is that any proposition to en- dorse the initiative and referendum or the government ownership of railroads at the democratic convention next year, will be defeated. I believe the delegates from the southern states will stand to man against such blanks in the dem ocratic platform and I t~m satisfied that they will be eliminated. What the ef- feet would be upon Mir. Bryan cannot be told at this time. Perhaps he would be unwilling to make the race upon a plat from containing no reference to the sub jects. In that event southern man may be the nominee and.' concluded the sen ator, i've have plenty of good material in the south"

Finds Body of Italian.

While walking up the Louisville and Nashville railroad track this morning about o'clock on his way to the city s slag pit, Street Commissioner Tetlow came upon the body of an Italian lying dead on the side of the track. With the idea that the man had been run over and killed or seriously injured by passing train. MT. Tetlow made a close examina- ton of the body, which at first touch he found to be still warm, but there were no signs of violence to indicate that the man had been either accidentally killed or foully dealth with.
 The sight of the body soon caused a crowd of people to congregate, when it developed that the man had been seen only a short time before sitting on the track near the place where the body was found and seemed to be suffering intense ly. The body was carried to the under taking parlors of Echols x Angwin by whom 1t will be buried tomorrow. The name of the man cannot be ascertained.

 Prince von Buelow, German imperial chancellor, was sincere in agreeing with Slgnor Tittoni Italian foreign minister at Rapallo, concerning the substance of that proposal.
