N CHICAGO
Twelve Thousand Volts Go
Through Boys Body for
Over Half Hour.

Chicago, July 5.-Twelve thousand
volts of electricity, surging through
the body of 10 year old Nicholas Mar
anich, Jr., of Evanston, for half an
hour Sunday night die not kill him.
While the current gripped him to the
wires at the top of a 35-foot pole,
his body was a veritable fountain of
fire, sending out continual shower
of cracking sparks.
Policemen on the scene had hard
fight to prevent frantic relatives and
friends of the boy from ascending the
pole in a hopeless endeavor to
wrench his body loose from the ire
mendously charged wires.
Game Leads to Disaster.
This remarkable incident was the
termination of boyish sport. Maran-
ich, with his 16 year old brother Jo-
seph, had been playing hide and seek.
To escape Joseph, Nicholas climbed
to the top of the pole, standing on
the steel cross arm.
Suddenly the boys foot touched
wire. The current hurled him down.
He would have been dashed to the
ground, but he fell against the wires,
which, like a magnet, seized and held
him, and the shower of sparks be-
gan. One of the wires was broken
in his fall.
Rescuer Fatally Hurt.
The current drew the youth to a.
rigid sitting position on the three
others. His brother Joseph climbed
the pole and reached for the body.
The powerful current knocked him
to the ground. His skull was frac-
tured.
The current was finally turned off
at the power house and a hook and
ladder company brought the young
man down.
At the hospital it was stated that
neither of the brothers has much
chance to recover.

REPRESENTATIVE WIRES
FACTS TO MINISTER KING
Government Official Feels Confident
, the Employees Are Ready to Submit
to Means of Settlement and He
Gets in Communication at Once
With the Railroad President.

OTTAWA, July 23.-The possibility
Of bringing about the settlement OF
tie Crane Trunk strike by means of
arbitration looks somewhat brighter
tonight. James Murdoch, repres emit
ing the men, wired Minister of
Labor King this evening expressing a
willingness ito refer existing differ
Cnces to arbitration provided a board
OF arbitrators, mutually acceptable
can be secured" Minister King is
satisfied that Mr. Murdock's communi-
cation IS a bona fide offer to arbitrate
and tonight he is trying to obtain an
uncomfortable response from tie
Grand Trunk officials. President
Hayes wired during the day that he
had nothing TO add TO his letter of
July 81, III which he took the position
that a board of arbitration should
be composed of expert railroad men"
President Hayes was not aware of
the changed attitude of the trainmen,
however. and Mr.. King at once wired
him copy of Mr.. Murdock's teie-
gram, which is as follows:
Murdock's Telegram.
IF there appears to be reasonable
doubt in the minds of any parties in
ierested in this controversy sugges-
tive of the fact that the same plan
of arbitration that successfully set
lied the same question on a number
CT other lines. would be unfair AMI
iaconsiderste OF the rights of either
party to the dispute in this case, then
it is a matter that should be given
fsfxfn ii do = ion nd 60
should be made to conserve the in
terests of the party whose rights were
likels to suffer by an acceptance of
th&plan of arbitration used repeat
eddy heretofore.
Terms Offered.
1--WE recognize the special obliga-
ton TO the public and regret exceed
ingly the Inconvenience and loss to
which public and private interests
are being subjected, and with chat
recognition, desire to advise you that
We are willing to refer the existing
differences TO arbitration, provided a
board Of arbitrators mutually &C
Ceptable, Can be secured.
I'VE would respectfully suggest
that if you, on behalf of the govern
ment, should be DESTROYS of taking
further action in this matter. the
parties 10 the differences should be
more closely in touch with you for
personal conference and We await
Jour suggestions in this connection.
(Signed) JAMES MURDOCH
In view of the fact that President
Hayes has not taken a stand against
arbitration the feeling here is more
hopeful that Minister Kings per
sistent efforts to place the whole con-
troversy before a board of arbitra-
ton would be successful.
