MOTORMAN GAVE LIFE
TO SAVE OTHERS.
Pathetic Tale of Heroism on the
Banks of the Potomac-But an
Incident of Every Day Life.

Washington, D. c., June 20
Charles Driver, a motorman, lies dy-
issg at a hospital from injuries sustain
ed yesterday when endeavoring to
save the passengers Of his car from
the deadly fluid of broken feed wire.
The car stopped where overhead re-
pairs were being made, and a young
woman stepped toward the sputtering
feed wire. The driver leaped for
ward, brushed her aside, and with a
newspaper in his hand seized the
wire. The current hurled him against
the car and his clothing burst into
flames as scores Of people looked on
the rare spectacle of a burning man.
Some one smothered the flames with
a coat. They lifted the driver and
bore him to the Potomac river where
water was used in the fruitless effort
to bring consciousness. Long after he
reached the hospital he became con-
scious and then the young wife, who
had been mother but two weeks and
had risen from her bed to come to his
side, was informed that there is little
chance for recovery.

Twenty Feet
EXPERTS ARE MUCH ALARMED
Irrigation on Either Side of
Stream Would Become I'M

Imperial, Calf, June 30.-Accord-
ing to a board of four engineers which
has just completed an investigation,
conditions along the Colorado river
are serious. The situation threatens
the great Laguna dam and other irri-
CATION works. According to confer
ence today, various influences are con-
cerned in conditions at work in the
river below the international bound
ary, and gradually working upward,
which would in short time lower the
bed of the stream at least twenty feet
This would certainly destroy the gov
ernment dam and prevent irrigation
on either side.
