TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN IN TUNNEL

A trainload Of people was saved from
probable death and injury Wednesday,
when the Southern Railway express
from New Orleans escaped the scheme
of wrecker in Union Station tunnel.
The watchfulness ofrailroad detectives,
who removed from a rail so pound
steel shoe, saved the train.
Dominic Falaco, night track walker,
an Italian, who has been only two years
in the United States, was arrested by
Detective German, charged with placing
the obstruction on the track. He was
locked up after a severe sweating"
by the detectives. The Union Station
officials say that Falaco confessed, not
only to wiring the obstacle to the rail
but also TO former attempts to wreck
incoming express trains.
Three weeks ago crosstie and sew
eral stones were found lying across the
tracks used by the incoming trains
from the South and the obstacles were
removed just in time to permit South
ern express to rush by.

We assume that no man or set OF
men in this day and generation, when
women have by slow degree attained
to practically all the prerogatlves
that men have enjoyed, and have In
deed in many instances superseded
them in their accustomed spheres OF
labor, would dare undertake to pre-
scribe in a general way what the
gentler sex should wear or how they
should deport themselves. And yet
many of the big department stores,
where women are employed, are re-
curing their female employees to
abandon the rats and puff and curls
with which they, unreStrained,
adorn G. their heads. and TO wear APP
parel of a prescribed color and cost,
a sort of uniform. for the reason
that such dress is an advertisement
for the house, while at the same
time the rule prevents extravaganza
on the part of clerks Of small salary
in their effort to dress as well as
those enjoying better pay. The rule
is do doubt beneficial, and may well
be extended to advantage, for there
are many people of both sexes who,
in an effort to keep up with the pre-
vailing styles, spend large portion
of their earnings in adjoining their
persons. In the early days of the
Roman Empire there was on the
statute books law, which declared
that no woman should wear a gar
ment of various colors or deck her
self in jewels of any sort, or wear a
dress which cost more than a GER
tain sum. The object Of this law
was to prevent jealousies among
women and to prevent extravaganza
among the poor. Cato, the censor,
who was a great Roman orator OF
the time. defended the law before
the Roman Senate in an eloquent and
powerful speech when an effort was
made to repeal it upon a petition OF
Roman women, but even in that day,
1000 years ago, he suffered defeat.
The women triumphed. as they al
ways do, and evinced their exulta-
ton by going through the streets
and Senate halls bedecked in all the
fnery they could command. Since
that day our women have generally
secured whatever rights they under
took. and the wonder is they have
ever submitted to the dictates OF
employers. Certain it is that no
modern Cato would undertake to
propose an Orphan law in this day.
and as for ourselves. we would not
even suggest it.

81 believe it would be a calamity
to take out of college life the disci-
pine that springs out Of such great
game as football, demanding the
exercise of splendid manly qualities,
but | do believe and deliberately de-
clare that the peril of death and
injury inherent in the strategy Of
this game should be eliminated or
the game itself abandoned"
The above is the concluding para
graph of a statement of President
Edwin A. Alderman concerning a
college game which has brought to
an untimely end some of the best of
our young men. To this conclusion
many of our college officials have
come and when a majority of the
public reach the same conclusion and
demand such changes in the game as
will eliminate the inordinate risks or
the total abolition of the game as
college sport we will be spared the
narrowing details of young lives use
lessly sacrificed. There is no doubt
that the refusal of parents to allow
their sons to play football as it is
now played would do much to bring
about the desired reform. The reg
ularly scheduled game to be played
between the Central High School of
Washington and the Central High
School of Philadelphia has been can
celled on account of parental objec-
ton growing out of the death of
young Archer Christian, and while
parental objection may not be as
effective in the large colleges, there
is little doubt but that it would bring
about the desired reform or result
in the elimination of the game. Col
lege faculties would hardly allow
young men, though they had attain
ed their majority, to play football in
the face of pronounced objection by
parents.
