is DRAGGED TO
SLOW DEATH
BY QUICKSAND

Brooklyn, July 11.-Brayely facing
death after having been caught in
quicksand and mire, William Elbrecht,
twenty-three years old, yielded at last
to the hopeless struggle while his three
companions, able to hear almost his
last whispered word, were powerless
to drag him from the grip of the cruel
sands.
The unfortunate man had fallen into
a creek In the darkness of the early
morning on returning with his friends
from a fishing trip. The tide In the
creek, which leads from Jamaica bay
into Old Mill creek, was rising, and Ell
brecht saw that he was doomed unless
help reached him quickly. He was
brave in the face of his great peril.
"Over this way, boys; Owe this
wayr" he called, his voice family
reaching the ears Of the other men
from whom he had become separated.
"AIl right; we're coming. Well get
you out, old man." they called back, In
the hope of encouraging him.
His comrades could hear the tide
bubbling by through the creek. High
PUSHES helped the darkness blind them.
One of them fell into the water and
sank twice before he grasped a large
piece Of wood and struggled ashore.
Hurry up, boysl" came the voice
p~leadingly. I'm up to my neck. Every
struggle sends me deeper!" His friends
wept helplessly, but managed to call
out encouraging words.
tits all right, fellows" were the last
words they heard, but n of his COM
panions said he also later seemed to
catch a Goodbye, boysP' or something
like that. Yesterday morning residents
of Old Mill found the helpless three,
still mired, and also located the body
of Elbrecht, uncovered by the outgoing
tide. He was a car conductor and I'M
married. +

On Naaaina.


My son taught me a lesson on the
subject of "nagging' when he was but
four years old and one that l have new
er forgotten. He had been guilty of o
| small misdemeanor and had tried to
wriggle out of 1t by not telling the ex-
act truth. l gave him a mild spank
ing and, as has always been my u.s.
tom, talked the matter yer afterward.
1 began by saying, Now, Robert, If
you had told me the truth l should not
have punished you"
He stood before me, scraping one
foot along the carpet, and he looked
up at me and said, What would you
have done?" And l answered, II
should have only talked to you"
"Well," he drawled, show long would
you have talkedf"
He is a big boy in high school now,
but when times arise requiring a rep
rimand and l get started I still hear
that little voice, How long would you
have talked?" and I go right to the
point and say what l have to say on
the subject; but, In the boys Ian
guage, | "cut 1t short" and never refer
to it again unless 1t is absolutely nee
essary.-Harper's Bazaar.

long hours of soft silence, the dead

The Game of Post Town.

This is an interesting game for chill.
dren of nine or ten who know some
thing of geography and are familiar
with the names Of places. One is
chosen postmaster. Each child takes
the name of any town she prefers. IL
there are too many for the postmaster
to remember he writes down the
names and holds the list In his hand.
He then calls out, 81 am going to send
a letter from Richmond to Boston,"
for instance. The children bearing
the names of the towns mentioned ex-
change seats. If they fail to do so
the one who does not respond pays q
forfeit. Occasionally he exclaims,
General post!' Then every one must
exchange places. If any one does not
secure a seat she must pay a forfeit,
and these are redeemed when the
game is over. Excitement is added Ii
long postal routes. including many cit
les. are named.

A lincoln Anecdota.

Jaspar Alban Conant tells the fol
lowing anecdote of Lincoln in the Met
ropolitan Magazine:
Zone of the comical characters in
Washington during the war was jolly
old Isaac Newton, the Philadelphia
Quaker whom Lincoln appointed COM
missioner of agriculture new office
Just created by congress Newton, who
tried and at the same time amused
the president, had made his reputation
on a dairy farm. Beyond this he knew
little of agriculture.
Clearing which, / could not refrain
from asking Lincoln why he had ap-
pointed such an ignorant man to the
office.
Because I think he's competent
enough to attend to all the agriculture
we will have TIL the war is ended was
the answer"

Killing a Bull Without a Weapon.

Cayetano, a famous Spanish toreador,
once was strolling across a meadow
with q couple Of friends when his at
tention was attracted by an old and
Infatuated bull which was galloping to-
ward them with lowered head and
erect tail. Cayetano had no weapon,
not even a cane, but he seized a dust
coat which one of his friends was car
rying over his arm. AS soon as the
bull got close to them Cayetano bade
his companions make their escape
while he engaged the animals atten-
ton. Using the coat as a capa, he
drove the bull crazy with fury, step
ping aside with the deftest agility at
each Of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn
sharply In the midst of its onward
rushes until finally al ominous crack
was heard, and the bull fell in a heap,
with Its backbone broken by the sud
den wrench given by the animals

TEAM OWNERS STRIKE
MAY RETARD BUILDING
Breach Between Association and
Sand and Gravel Companies
Still Open.

The breach between the team owners
who went on strike yesterday and the
sand and gravel compani MES is as wide
open as it was in the first instance, and
at this time there seems but scant pros
pect of closing it.
AS result of meeting of the COM
panies interested j. H. Bradley this
afternoon said:
I'VE have decided to make concessions
on new business and will issue a schedule
of rates next week. AS to the Team
Owners Association, we decline to recog-
nize it, and will deal with the team own
ers only as individuals"
1t is understood no higher rate will be
paid for hauling sand and gravel on
contracts already let.
Michael Peter, president of the Team
Owners association. declared today that
the members will stand by the organiza :
ton, and that not wheel of the 700
vehicles will turn for the companies until
the association is recognized and certain
concessions made. The team owners ask
that they be paid for hauling sand and
gravel by the ton instead of by the
cubic yard.
Building contractors expressed alarm
today at the turn affairs have taken.
They fear the strike may seriously retard
building operations. The building trades
some agreement is soon reached between
the sand and gravel companies and the
team owners many workingmen may be
laid off

INTERRUPTS COMMERCE.
Trouble Between River Men and
Railways Causes Delav

Gen. George Uhler supervising inspector
general of the steamboat service has
telegraphed Secretary Nagel that he will
reach Washington at midnight tonight
for conference in connection with the
and pilots and the Lackawanna, Balti-
more and Ohio and Lehigh Valley rail-
roads and the Central Railroad of New
Jersey. Gen. Uhler comes at the sug-
gestion of Secretary Nagel, following the
receipt of supplementary telegram from
III. l.. Joyce. representing the roads men
toned in which it was stated that the
men who had resigned their positions and
those employed by independent concerns
were interfering with the movement of
commerce in New York harbor.
Secretary Nagel said today that he did
not at present see what the department
could do in the matter. AS he reads the
statutes, he said, the department has a
control over men who are licensed in the
steamboat service, stronger, perhaps. than
that over ordinary employees. He thought,
however. there was a distinction TO be OBJ
served between those who accepted en-
ployment under their licenses and those
who did not.
These men,. he said. have resigned.
As | see it they have a perfect right to
say upon what terms they will accept
work. They have not, of co..rse,r tie
right to do wrongful or unrea sonable
things. If they do, the local inspectors
have the power under the law 20 try
them. looking to the revocation of their
to act with elaboration and give every
opportunity for both sides to be heard.
Whatever is done will he done after care
fully weighing all the circumstances.

Germ, was not found at the office though
he had been there about half an hour
before the raid was made. The prison
ers would not admit any knowledge of
the whereabouts of Price. nor of Edward
Altemus of Jersey City, another of those
indicted.
Several United States deputy marshals
and the local headquarters men began I
search of the city for eight other men
for whom warrants are held. \ number
of these are from Jersey City, and, ac-
cording to the government officers, only
came to Baltimore during the past two
days, when, il is said. arrangements were
made to close down the business OF the
Price company in all of the cities where
the various branches have been doing
business.
Brokerage offices maintained BIZ Will
liam B. Price Co, in another part OF
the same building. were closed up yester
day. In a newspaper interview yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Price was quoted as saying
that the firm would liquidate and retire
from business. He gave no reason for
the action further than that some of the
stockholders desired to withdraw.
In the offices visited today the officers
found nearly two score telegraph operat-
ors, a private branch exchange telephone
operator and half a dozen clerks. The
various clerks against whom no warrants
were held were allowed to leave the Of
fee together with the telegraphers.
Later in the day Price accompanied by
a bondsman, surrendered himself at the
United States marshal's Office He sent
word to Morehead. another of the in
dicted men, who is Prices brother-in-law,
advising him to give himself up.

NEW YORK. April 2.-The raids on

That exchange was mere cover for Their

Under the name OF Boggs < Company,
PreusSer and few OF his companions
have handled all the business for many

show this, but the fact is that not one

GRADE CROSSINGS MUST GO.
Commissioners Not Expected to APP
prove Carter Bill.

The bill introduced by Senator Carter
to authorize the Philadelphia. Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company to
maintain the track connection between
the navy yard and the New Jersey ave-
nue. freight yard, it was said today, will
not get the Commissioners approval. This
little bit of railroad is the grade cross
ing against which the people of East
Washington have been protesting.
The records Of the District building
show that adverse reports have been
made on this subject in previous years.
1t is known that Commissioner Judson
believes this grade crossing should be re-
moved and that a new siding, supposedly
acceptable to East Washington, should be
siding to enter the navy yard from the
east already has received the Commits
sioners favor. The Commissioners be-
lieve that the United States should ac-
quire the right Of way for this latter sid
ing, entering the navy yard from the
east, and that the railroad company
should bear the cost of building the sid
ing.
Talks with the Commissioners show
that they believe the present navy yard
siding to be inconsistent with the policy
of Congress and the District government
to get rid of all grade crossings in the
District. The navy yard siding is now
the only grade crossing remaining.

trict by next fall
Mr.. Cartwright asserted that the great
majority OF citizens here do not want
prohibition. adding that the present
liquor laws are adequate and better than
similar laws in other cities. He said,
Graveyard conditions invariably follow

stones and the public buildings into

Railways Involved.

NEW YORK. April 2.-Today's develop

pilots ard masters OF railroad harbor
shipping and the railroads involved to go
long way toward deciding the issue.
The day opened with widely conflicting
Claims, the men declaring that serious
tie-up of freight had already resulted
from the walkout which began yesterday,
while the railroads stuck to their state
ment that at least 10 per cent of their
floating equipment was in operation.

Railroad company representatives were
sharply on the lookout today for possible
sympathetic strike developments. The
harbor boatmen's union was expected to
make demands for increased wages and
shorter hours. in accordance with a vote
passed last night, and unrest was re-
ported among ferryboat employees in the
railroad service.
Representatives of the strikers, how
ever, declared that there was no nten-
ton of tying up the railroad passenger

as satisfied that the tie-up of freight
claimed to have effected would speedily
