backing UP as she stood on the
platform and one of the brakemen
called to the other: "Jump on her

beyond the elevator, cut her in two
and head end up to the depot"
The local paper adds that the lady
jumped and yelled murder as loud
as she could.

Railways Not Yet Prepared
For Handling Big Busi-
ness Says Editor Edmonds
of Manufacturers Record.
81, 900, ,OOO,O 900 ARE NEED
ED FOR CONSTRUCTION
Railroads Will Not he Pre-
pared to Handle Traffic
His Prediction.

Richard II. Edmonls. editor of the
Manufacturers Record OF Baltimore.
while in New York yesterday. in an
interview with a reporter OF the New
York News Bureau. said:
Though general business through
out the country has not yet Joined
fully in the remarkable activity pre-
vailing in iron and steel. railroads
are becoming congested with traffic
and many complaints OF scarcity of
cars are heard in Alabama and West
Virginia and other iron and coal
centers.
We are now producing iroa at the
rate of nearly 3O,OOO.OOO tons
year, or over 100000 tons above
the record output of 1907. If other
Industries were as active as iron and
steel (and they must inevitably be-
come so), railroads would be as
much overwhelmed with business as
they were when the railroad system
OF the country practically collapsed
in the summer and fall OF 1907
Moreover, the really marvellous ac-
tivity i'm iron and steel is as yet with
out the, benefit of heavy railroad pur-
chases Of materials. When railroad
buying attains the heavy totals which
their necessities will force in the
near future. the danger to the coun-
try will be a scrambl3 for iron and
steel products. with the possibility
Of runaway market.
Every day is simply emphaslzing
the fact that railroad expansion has
not kept up with the growth OF the
country, and that at least $1,000
100000 TO $4,000, 900, 900 would be
required TO push railroad building
and enlarginR OF railroad operations
to a point where facilities for han
ding freight would equal the de-
mands OF the next two or three
years. If 1,OOO,OOO,00O a year for
the next 10 years could be expended
upon railroad construction the facil-
the certainty OF the demand
Efforts are being made in many
directions as to coking coal proper
ties, as well as ore properties, show
ing that the far-seeing men Of today
are recognizing the tremendous fu-
ture through the ownership OF the
raw materials for iron and steel max
ing.
1T is hardy to be expected that
the rate OF iron production which has
prevailed during tho last 40 years
will continue for the next I 0, but 81
It did so continue II would, as shown
in recent paper by Professor Port
er OF the University Of Cincinnati,
carrypig-iron production in 1920 TO
$1,000, 900 tons IT Is, however, en-
tirely within reason 10 estimate that
iron production will double by 1920,
and give us At that time between
81 100000 and 100000 tons
which would mean n practical doub-
ling Of the entire iron, coke and
steel industries OF tho country AS
other Industrial actiyr.. the long
run keep pace with iron and steel
this would mean that the general
! trahlc Of the country In IN years
will double uDlegs so hamr red by
railroad facilities as 10 make this i'm
possible The problem Of the day,
therefore IS TO make a possibility

William H. Gray is Saved
From Electric Chair BY
Mothers Testimony-Is
Given 20 Years.
YOUNG BROKER
KILLS HIS FATHER
Claimed Self Defense-Pa-
thetic Scene In the
Court Room.

Pennington, y. j.. Oct. 14.-lt
was largely through the testimony
OF his aged mother that William II
Gray, the young broker. was last
night saved from death in the elec-
trio chair for' the killing OF his aged
father, John Gray. at their farm
home last August. The jury. after
four hours deliberation. found Gray
guilty OF murder OF the second de
gree. and Judge Reed Immediately
sentenced him to twenty years at
hard labor in State Prison.
Claimed Self Defense.
Gray's story of the killing was to
the effect that he had shot his faith
er in self defense after violent
quarrel and long suffering his abuse,
and he said he was about to flee
the farm after an unusual outburst
OF anger on his fathers part, when
the old man threatened to kill him
and his mother, and hurled stones
at him, one OF which struck young
Gray in the face
Mrs. Gray mother of the defen-
dant, testified as to the details attend
ing the attempt Of the father to cut
Gray's throat with a butcher knife
in 1908. Her story was in corrobora
ton OF the defendants statement.
Her testimony Of the occurrence at
the Gray home on June 13, when the
shooting took place, was practically
the same as told by Gray himself.
Mrs. Gray broke down several times
while on the witness stand and wept
while the defendant buried his face
in his handkerchief and wept several
times. Before resting the defense
called John stockton, Sidney r. Cad
wallader, of Yardley, william Hicks.
of Newtown township; william Kirk
bridge, of Taylorsville, Pa, and
James Keath, OF Newton. who testi-
fed as to the violent temper of the
deceased.
Was Unable TO Escape.
During his cross-examination Gray
said that his first real fear that his
father intended carrying out mis-
threats OF killing him were when he
began throwing stones. The distance
between the stone pile and where the
defendant was watering his horse
was about twenty-five feet He as
serted that he was unable TO escape
from his father because he was so
frightened that his limbs shook and
h was weak kneed After his faith
er struck him in the face with a
stone and ran for him. Gary said he
pulled his pistol and fired AS his
father sank to the ground Gary
placed his horse in the barn. hasten
ed to his side and carried him into
the house.
Both sides rested just prior to the
noon adjournment, and the remain
der Of the dly was consumed In sum
ming up the rae". Justice Reed. in
charging the jury reviewed the testi-
mony quite m 1uttly. and set forth
he conditions wlich established de-
grees OF murder.

Milking.

Milking under quiet, favorable con
ditions is quite important, for the fol-
lowing reasons plainly set forth by
John Burroughs, the eminent natural
list, in speaking of the supposed pow
ar of COWS to "hold-up' their milk.
Says Mr.. Burroughs: Most farmers
and country people thing that the
giving down or holding up the milk
by the cow is a voluntary act. In
fact, they fancy that the udder is a
vessel filled with milk, and that the
cow releases or withholds it just as
she chooses. But the udder is a man
ufactory; it is filled with blood from
which the milk is manufactured while
you milk. This process is controlled
by the cows nervous system; when
she is excited or9in any way disturb
cd, as by a stranger, or by taking
sway her calf, or any other cause, the
process is arrested and the milk will
not flow. The whole process is as in
voluntary as is digestion in man, and
10 disturbed or arrested in about the
same way."-Missouri Dairyman.
