Delegates From U. 5. and Can
ada Assemble at Harrisburg,
REPRESENT 100000 men
Trainmen Will Be Considered-Paid
Out $2,ooO.0oo In Accident Claims
Last Year.

Harrisburg. Pa. May 10.-The tenth
biennial convention of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, an organization
that represents 100000 men in the
United States and Canada, was opened
here in the Casino theater, with w.
G. Lee, of Detroit, the grand master,
in the chair.
Only delegates from the SAT lodges
were admitted. They will meet morn
ing, afternoon and evening during the
next two weeks Their sole object is a
betterment of the conditions of their
employment, which they hope to ac-
complish through the enactment of ma
tional legislation.
The question of wages is not to be
discussed. Only issues that are of gen.
eral interest to the brakemen, conduc-
tors, baggagemen, switchmen, yard
men and flagmen in the employ of the
railroads of the United States and
Canada will be under consideration.
One of the chief topics will be the
suggestion of federal legislation defin-
ing the employers liability and work
mems compensation for death and in
jury. The trainmen take the position
that the railroads should be held re-
Sponsible for personal mishaps to the
men in their employ, or, broadly, that
The industry should bear the brunt OF
misfortune in service instead of the
man. In turn, if the cost of such re-
sponsibility is to add to the expenses
of the railroads, then the public should
be willing to share.
The Brotherhood paid out more than
S2.000,000 last year in death and dis
ability claims. The records show that
an employe was killed or disabled in
every five and half hours during the
year. Fifteen were killed or totally dis.
abled among each 1000 policy holders
Since the organization was formed
twenty years ago more than S22,000,-
600 has been paid to widows and or
phans of the members.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion's report for the year ending June
80, 1910, shows that one railroad EN-
ploye was killed every two hours and
fifteen minutes. One was injured every
six minutes during the fiscal year re-
corded. Much of this mishap is blamed
on the cars that are not classed as
standard equipment. The convention is
likely to pass a resolution aimed at
equipment betterment.
The various reports to be read he.
fore the convention will be most graf.
flying to the members. The active
membership in good standing will be
shown to total more than 117,000
More than $2,225,00O is in the treas.
ury The increase in the membership
since the convention two years ago is
more than 10000. On August 1, 1905,
the Brotherhood had fewer than 1900
members, having lost more than 10000
during the previous years as result
of the American Railway union, the
Debs strike and the financial condition
of the country in 1903-04-05.

Forest Fires Sweep Village.

Forest fires are raging with unpar-
alleled fury in the vicinity of Will
liamspart Pa. Hundreds of fire fight
ers are combating the flames, and the
outcome is doubtful unless rain falls
soon.
SoneStown was swept by flames
and sparks from forest fires started
the conflagration. The village to the
north of this city is the center of
State Senator Sones' lumber opera
tions and his loss VIII be heavy.
In the absence of the male popula-
tion of Sonestown, who were fighting
forest fires nearby, the women fought
the flames that were devouring their
homes. When the men arrived the
fire had destroyed several residences
and dozen barns. Help was sum-
moned from Muncy and Nordmont, and
a portion of the village was saved.

like most men of his day, get drunk.
They all did not "cut up" however, as
he did on such occasions. He went
into stores and smashed things gener-

came back and paid for them like q

intoxicated and galloped down Court

General Washington before the tavern
door. This was brought up against
him later when he was candidate fol
governor, but his friends denied IT.

Tho antiquity Of Man.

1t has been known during leag
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age con-
sisted Of different glacial times sepa-
rated by interglacial times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped 5000 or
1000 feet below its present level in
the Alps, whereas in interglacial times
II lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher in the interglacial
periods than 1t is now. There is abun-
dant evidence, in the opinion of Penck,
that man existed during the beginning
of the last glacial epoch. There is
some reason for thinking that at least
10000 years have elapsed since the
last glaciation and that the man whose
jawbone was found in 1900 near Hell
delberg lived 100000 years ago.-Scien-
