CORRECTS ERROR; FLEES|
OPERATOR FORGETS TO ORDER
TRAIN TO WAIT.
Catches Last Car on Run, Breaks
Vestibule Glass and Averts
Catastrophe.

ALBION, ILL.,, February 9.-An itinerant
telegraph operator, working extra
failed to hand over train order, but re-
trieved his negligence and prevented a
collision between two passenger trains
by a trick of daring and strength before
he disappeared early today.
Train No. 2, westbound and late, pulled
out of the Southern railway station here
without the operator having delivered an
order to hold it for the passing of an
eaStbound train. The operator rushed
along the track, missed the steps of the
last car and fell headlong.
On his feet again and running he caught
the rear rail, pulled himself to the vesti-
bule door. smashed the glass and stop
ped the train. There was just time to get
back to Albion when the east-bound train
rushed by.
The operator has not been seen since.

Francisco promoter, not only won his
bet of 81 600 from Eugene CORR Of Lon

made at the same time, but established a

he did, the promoter made the distance
in nine days. six hours and fifty-f1ye
minutes. He had two hours and thirty
five minutes to spare when the ferryboat

peered up at the ferry building clock,
but for all that there had been plenty of
excitement even up to the last moment.

FOR FREEDOM OF ACTION
LABOR LEADER IN ENGLAND
ANNOUNCES INDEPENDENCE.
Members Of Parliament to Decline
Governments Observation-Disclosures
by James Keir Hardie.

NEWPORT, England. February o. In
his address opening the tenth annual
meeting of the independent labor party
today. President James Keir Hardie
threw cold water upon all suggestions
that the laborites in the Forthcoming
parliament should be the blind followers
Of the government. He said:
"I confidently assert that those who
hope to see us bring about our own un-
doing by entering into some agreement
or understanding with the government
are doomed to disappointment. At all
costs and hazards we must maintain a
complete freedom of action both in the
house of commons and in our constit-
uencies. The treatment meted out to our
candidates by the liberals in the recent
contest was not the kind to predispose us
In favor Of any friendly relationship"
Fails to Inspire Confidence.
President Hardie declared that the pol.
Icy OF the liberals toward the peers, as
outlined. did not inspire the laborites
with confidence. To talk of weakening
the veto power of the lords was toying
with democracy, he said, adding that any
action In the chamber would in the ma
ture Of things be reactionary and could
be intended only as check to progress
He said that the policy of the labor party
remained unchanged, and was to SWEEP
the house of lords into oblivion. The
same unsuliied independence which had
produced SO many labor measures in the
past must continue to work for ends yet
to be won.
Mr. Hardie called attention to the fact
that the Irish had failed to support the
labor candidates. and reminded the ma
tionalists that Irish aspirations We're no,
to be attained without the aid of the
English labor vote.

Work of Repair Impeded.

The return of high water threatens to
greatly retard the work of repair which
is in progress. The waters. which had
dropped below the mouths of the sewers,
are again pouring into the conduits
drowning the electric light and power
lines in the vicinity of the Place de
TOpera.
While service has been resumed on sew
eral sections of the subway. the manage
ment holds out no hope that the main
line. passing 1T. LaZare station, will be
restored for another month.
The series of financial measures for the
relief of food victims, which the gov
eminent has been celebrating. is now
complete.
Besides the 100000 additional appro-
priation by parliament the plan includes:
First, a loan of s1.2OO.0oO to small
farmers from the "Caisses du Credit
Agricoles'';
Second. loans to small shopkeepers and
tradesmen from the Bank of France and
other credit institutions with certain
government guarantees, worked out by
Minister of Finance Cochery, and,
Third. loans TO small property owners
by banks making a speciality of loans on
real estate securities, government guar
antees also being furnished in the pres
cnt emergency.
Gifts From America.
Among the recent big American sub
scriptions was $4,000 additional from the

TIE Metropolitan Opera Company bene-
lit at New York.
The enormous Inconvenience caused
by the crippling of the subway system
may be gathered from the transporta-
tion statistics for 1909, just published,
which show that the subway in that year
carried 100000 passengers against
20. 100000 carried by the surface lines
and other facilities, including cabs and
