Narrow Escape

William the small son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark Way, OF Kennett Square,
had a narrow escape from being burn
ed to death. He was carrying loose
paper and other infsmmabe material
to throw upon pile OF hot ashes in
the garden, where a bonfire had been
burning Unknown TO him the hot
GOALS ignited the paper and the flames
spread with alarming rapidity.
The boy was attired in a cotton
Indian suit and this made excellent
fuel for the flames. His screams as
he saw himself enveloped attracted
his sister Josephine, and her presence
OF mind undoubtedly saved the little
fellow. Rushing into the yard she
threw him upon the ground and rolled
him about vigorously, at the same
time beating out the fire with her
hands. William was only slightly
burned

CASUALTIES REDUCED
Enforcement of Laws Insure
Safety on Railroads

Although the casualties on our
railroads for the past year reach the
huge total of 8,722 killed and 95, ,626
injured, yet the installation of safety
devices and the use Of better cars
have materially reduced the number
of victims from the other years.
An analysis of the figures just made
public by the Interstate Commerce
Commission shows that one passen-
ger was killed for every 3,523,606
carried and one injured for every
1858 carried, In the previous
year one person was killed for every
1886, 1882 carried and one injured
for every 77,017 carried. Consider
ing the vastly greater number of
miles of new road it will be seen
that the enforcement of laws tend
ing to insure the safety of passen-
gers is haying its result. There is
plenty of room for improvement,
however, as the figures show. Los

WHY SMITH QUIT
Report that He Resigned on
Presidents REQUEST

Behind the recent resignation of
Hoval A, Smith, chairman of the
Territorial Republican Committee, is
reported to have been request
from President Taft that the
Arizona leader step down and out.
Taft's action was based upon the
fact that Smith is defendant in
eighty-three cases brought by the
government to recover several hun
hred acres of valuable land near
Bisbee.
Smith is alleged to have secured
the land in what is known as the
Warren townsite in fraudulent
manner, and during the past five
years there have several times been
reports of a vigorous prosecution.
One of Smiths acquaintance in
Bisbee is said to have written di-
rectly to President Taft, calling his
attention to Smiths position as
chairman and his being defendant
in land suits.
Taft is reported to have taken
the letter to Postmaster General
Hitchcock, and to have suggested to
him that Smith be eliminated as
chairman of the Arizona committee.
Hitchcock, is said to have taken
the cue from Taft, and at once laid
the matter before Smith, who could
do nothing less than offer his resig-
nation.
