Fred Heiger, Unfortunate, Fell
Beneath Wheels of Moving
Train on Sheridan Street
ViaduCt, Late Saturday.
HIS MOANS ATTRACTED
PASSERSBY TO HIS AID.
The Man Was Found Several
Minutes After the Accident
Occurred and He Was in a
Critical Condition.

Sitting on a stone abutment on the
north side of the Sheridan street via
duct, Fred Heiger, aged about 40 years,
and living at 4OS South Tenth street,
was found yesterGIy afternoon about
six o'clock moaning in agony and
holding the bleeding stump of his right
leg which had been cut off at the
ankle by the wheels of car On the
street, under the viaduct Heiger's foot
the city ambulance. The amputatcd
foot had fallen between the ties.
No one witnessed the accident and
it is thought that Heiger had been
sitting on the abutment for nearly a
half hour before his means attracted
the attention of passersby. Heiger
had done everything in his power be-
fore assistance reached him to staunCh
the flow of blood, but his efforts had
not been very successful. When
found, the injured man was perfectly
conscious, but extremely weak and al
most frantic from the sever pain he
was suffering.
The men who found Heiger at once
called for the city ambulance and on
its arrival. he was at once taken to the
Reid Memorial hospital where prompt
measures were taken 10 save the man $
life
Officer Vogelsong. who drove the
ambulance, says that Heiger gave no
account of how the accident happened.
Heiger suffers from a mental trouble
and frequently wanders away from his
home. It is thought that while walk
ing across the tracks on the Sheridan
street viaduct he became confused and
was knocked down by train and di-
rectly under the wheels
Last winter Heiger wandered AWAY
from his house and remained avay for
over day. The police were called
upon to search for him and when
found the unfortunate man was almost
frozen to death. The physician who
attended him at the hospital. is conf.
dent that he will recover from the ef-
fects of the accident despite the severe
nervous shoca and the amount of blood
lost.

The Percentage of Boys Over
Age Exceeds That of Girls
BY Seven Per Cent, the Ra-
ito Being 81 to 30.
THREE CAUSES ARE FOUND.
ONE is SICKNESS, ANOTHER IN
DIFFERENCE OF THE PUPILS
AND THE THIRD is THAT SOME
PUPILS CANNOT DO THE WORK.

That there is too much indifference
on the part of the patrons of the pub
lie schools, is the conclusion drawn
from some interesting figures just COM
piled in the Office of Supt T. A. Mott
From the records he has found that Of
the 2,213 pupils now enrolled, 769, or
81 per cent are over age. 436 are one
year over age, 237 are two years over
'6 are three years over, 16 are four
years over, and two pupils are still
lingering in grades five years behind
where they should be. In compiling
these figures, seven years was taken as
the normal age for first grade pupils,
eight years for the second grade. A
pupil should be fourteen years old
when the eighth grade is reached.
1t is also noted that the percentage
Of boys over age exceeds that of girls
by per cent. OF the total enroll
nent, 1,146 are boys and 1927 girls.
OF those over age, 42S are boys and Sal
are girls, or, putting It in another way
81 per cent of the lads and 80 per cent
of the lassies are one or more years
behind their classes.
Supt. Mott has figured that the large
percentage comes from three or more
causes. The first in Importance of
these is sickness. Many pupils in the
grades are frail and the changes Of
weather in the winter work havoc with
their health. When a pupil is absent
for as short a period as three days, it
is almost impossible for him to catch
up with the class. 1t has covered a
certain amount Of work and gone on
and when the sick pupil returns, he
has more than he can do with the
double lessons.
The second cause. and the one about
which the officials are now trying to
arouse public interest, is the indiffer-
ence about tie pupils who are mentally
and physically too lazy to 90 the work
assigned them. These Nlpils need
pushing is the decision of Supt. Mott
and just now he is busily engaged in
organizing push" campaign. Boys
and girls who can. but won't, are to be
prodded along until they are awaken
ed. In this way it is thought that the
percentage can be reduced very ma
terially.
For the third cause. comes in the
fact that few pupils are short on
mental ability and cannot do the work.
But this class is vastly smaller than
school men used to think it was. Ac-
cording to Supt. Mott it is an easy
way out of the whole question. and one
too often employed by teachers and
parents.
The movement in which Richmond
is taking the lead, is one in which ed
ucatOrs will be much interested in the
Immediate future. Supt. J. NJ. Green
wood. for forty years superintendent
of schools in Kansas City, and very
c4ose friend Of Supt. Mott. is making
a similar investigation of the schools
under his jurisdiction. These men
will tackle the problem and try to
solve it.

SECURES FAMOUS LAWYERS
UNDER MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT
1T WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR
THE EARL TO RETAIN ANY POR-
TON OF THE THAW WEALTH.

London, January 4--The solicitors
Of the Earl of Yarmouth, whose wife
formerly Miss Alice C. Thaw, of Pitts.
burg, has begun suit for the nullifica-
tion Of her marriage, have given no
tice that they propose to defend the
action. The case will probably not
be heard for several weeks.
While this action is quite distinct
from a divorce, it will be heard in the
divorce court, the sittingS of which be
gin January II. The court has only
two judges. and there are on the cal
endar 156 undefended cases which
take precedence over the defended
suits. The Yarmouth suit stands six
ty-One on the list Of defended cases.
Lewis & Lewis, the famous firm of
solicitors Of which Sir George Lewis,
the best-known lawyer in England is
the head, will represent the Countess
Insanity before marriage and an eX-
isting marriage are among grounds up
on which. under the English law, a
marriage may be annulled.
Announcement Of the fling of the
suit for annulment of her marriage is
perturbing England less on account OF
the scandal than as a result OF the
discovery that the marriage settle
ment was such as to render it impossi-
BILE for the earl TO retain any Of the
Thaw wealth.
The amount of the settlement has
never been known except to members
of the Thaw and Yarmouth families
but it is certain that it exceeded
s10O0,000. Besides this, the count
ess has given her husband large sums
to meet demands incurred through
qualification Of his expensive tastes.
