A BROTHERS. TRIBUTE.
In Loving Memory of the Late Miss
Susie RUSSELL


Sister Susie T. Russell was born
September Is, 1885, in Marion coun-
ty and died October %, 1908. She
was the eldest daughter of J. w.
Russell, PARROT, Ga. She united
with the Missionary Baptist church
in Parrott under the pastorate of
Brother Davis in July, 1904. Her age
at death was % years Socially she
was pleasant, modest and dignifed
in manner that was entertaining
and agreeable to her many friends.
AS a christian she was loyal to the
cause of her Master, doing what she
could for the advancement of His
kingdom. In her gentle, sweet
spirited way she quietly looked af-
ter home affairs, as if her mission
in life was to serve rather than be
served
Her friends were numbered by all
who knew her, and her remark
while on her death bed was that if
she had a single enemy she knew
it not.
Her sufferings were more than
tongue can tell. For two weeks and
two days she fingered with nearly
the entire body burned, much of it
into the muscles. During all her
suffering she never forgot to thank
everyone who showed her any kind
ness or any service whatever. She
would even thank you when you
would give her a dose of medicine,
and some of the sweetest prayers
ever heard were prayed by her. She
said death would only be sweet to
her, as she was ready and wanted to
meet her Savior
We believe that earth is poorer
and Heaven richer by her going
away from us. A BROTHER.

Being Picked Up Thirty
Feet Away
TspecIaI 70 The Herald. ]


REDONDO BEACH, Sept. 2S.-Johr
Helmert, an engineer at the Hunting
ton power house. met with frightful
death at 1915 last night. He was oil
ing engine No. 2 preparatory to, max
ing its night run, and either did not
hear the chief engineers signal of two
whistles, which repeat three times be-
fore the big S000-horse power engine
can start, or delayed too long after the
warning was given. He was caught III
the' machinery and literally torn tc
atoms before the engine could be shut
down.
One agonizing cry was all he gave.
and when his fellow workmen hurried
to- his rescue they beheld his lifeless
body being torn to pieces by the flying
engine, which threw fragments of tiesll
and bone in all directions.
For two hours and thirty-five minutes
the men gathered together the small
bits of the dismembered body, some OF
which had been hurled through this
windows and were picked up thirty
feet distant from the building.
Employees of the power house seem to
differ as to the giving of the signal
which acts as a warning. Some pain
tain that the first two calls were for
engine No. 1 and the third and last for
No. 2. In this event, they contend,
Helmert would not have been given
time to reach a place of safety before
the engine started.
Coroner Hartman held an inquest over
the remains today and the jury's YER
dict exonerated the Huntington COM
pany from all liability and agreed that
deceased came to his death by reason
of his own negligence.
Helmert had been a resident of Re-
dondo since last December. He leaves
a widow and two children.

PRESIDENT SCHERER
GETS DOWN TO WORK
ATTENDS MEETING DIRECTLY
AFTER ARRIVAL
Throop's New President Cordially
Indorses Plans of Board to COM
bine Technical Training with
Liberal Culture
[sneOi.s to The Herald l

PASADENA, Sept. 23.-Arriving on
the Overland this morning from the
east DR.. James A. B. Scherer, the new
president of Throop Polytechnic instl-
tute, already has settled in his apart
ments at 9S South Euclid avenue and
attended his first faculty meeting. Al
chapel exercises tomorrow morning he
will be introduced to the students.
When asked his opinion of the plans
already made DIR. Scherer said: Il
feel that the ideas which the board has
for the extension and broadening of the
work are the right ones. If Throor
can carry out those ideas of providing
a scientific education second to none
in the country, and at the same time
a broad and liberal culture in the hu-
manities, it will be doing something
which has never yet been done, and
will lead the way for other technical
schools to follow.
what the corntry wants is men
who are broadly cultured as we'll as
specially trained, and men able to ap-
preciate the value of both. All great
educators with whom 1 have talked
agree that such a condition is ideal
and Throop will be unique If she can
produce students of that type. And
do not see why she should not"
For the past four years DR.. Scherer
has been president of Newberry col
lege in South Carolina. Previous to
that he was for several years in the
employ of the Japanese government in
Japan and is the author of a number
of books on that country.
DR.. Scherer is married and has two
