POLICEMAN SHOT IN SPINE, KILLS ONE, WOUNDS ANOTHER
Mount Vernon Commuters Wit. ness Sanguinary Scene at
 Railroad Station

Mount Vernon, N. Y, Jan. 16-Sev- eral hundred home-going commuters witnessed last Friday night pistol fight in Mount Vernon. which ended in the death of one man, and fatal injury of two other combatants, one of whom was a Mount Vernon police man.
 There was a panic in the neighbor- hood as the shots were exchanged, and no one made a move to aid the police man in his unequal struggle. When he lay on the ground, paralyzed by a bullet wound in his spine. the man who had shot him ran down the street, and none strove to intercept him.
 Pasquale J. Ruffalo is the police man. He was patrolling a neighbor- hood in which Italians reside. Short ly after o'clock he saw two men struggling on the sidewalk outside a saloon in South Eighth avenue. The men had just been elected. They were brothers. Alexander and Arthur Tiso. the latter a resident of Mount Vernon, and the former of Mulberry street. New York.
 Buffalo arrested Arthur for intoxi- cation and disorderly conduct. Alex ander and he had been drinking heav- fly. As soon as Ruffalo arrested Ar thur, Alexander began pummelling the pOllCeIldu. III lue SCulilc Al LII flourished a revolver. Ruffalo then fired upon Arthur, who fell wounded. Alexander managed to knock the pis tol from Ruffalo's grasp. Then the pair wrestled. falling over the body of Arthur, who was dying.
 Alexander struggled to keep Ruffalo down, and at the same time squirmed around till he grasped the policemans S pistol as 1t lay on the ground. Then Alexander, gripping the officer with the other hand. placed the pistol against Ruffalo's back and fired. The bullet struck the officers spine and he sank, paralyzed below the hips.
 Alexander fled. dropping the revolver as he ran. Ruffalo dragged himself along on his hands till he could reach the revolver. Picking it up he hand ed 1t to a sixteen year old boy. Frank PanZi, who alone had courage to ap- proach. the scene, and bade the lad pursue Alexander and shoot him down, but the fleeing man had too good a start and Panzi could not catch him.
 By this time somebody had turned in police alarm and three other policemen arrived in a patrol wagon. In it Arthur Tiso and Ruffalo were died on the way. bullet from the gun had penetrated the chest close to the heart.
 Learning from Ruffalo who the other man was. his brother policeman went to Arthur's home, and found Alexan- der there covering in bed and moan ing from a wound in his breast. They dragged him to the hospital where Buffalo identified him. and in an ante statement said that Alexander had shot him.
 At 8 late hour Friday night it was said that neither Ruffalo nor Alaxan- der Tiso was likely to recover. The policeman is married and the father of eight children. His police record iS ayce11ent

The Farmer commenced on Saturday the publication of a series of illumin- ative articles upon employers liability and workmen's compensation proposi- sions Five others will follow. These questions are attracting wide atten- s!on. During the past year and a half State Commissions have been ap- pointed in Minnesota. Wisconsin. Mis- eouri. Illinois and New York to in- nuire into the subject of work acci- dents. The National Manufacturers Association has a committee that is considering the same problem. Mon- fana has law in force providing for the compulsory insurance by employers rs all workmen and laborers in coal mines and washers. New York has a law applying to several trades and Oregon by a referendum vote has re- gently declared in favor of a radical -vork,nen's compensation act. The present administration in New Hamp- shire is pledged to such measures. Massachusetts has had a commission at work for a year. Employers as- sociations. labor unions. conferences or charities. legal and economic asso- ciatsons. are interested. Dissatisfac- ton with present conditions is becom- ing assertive because the rank. and file of workers are not adequately protected against economic loss due to the accidents of their work.

For ten years after it's enactment. the Sherman antitrust law was prac- ficaly a dead letter. It was neither enforced. nor any real attempt made 10 enforce. During that period. the trust system grew and expanded to nearly its present proportions. Neg lect to enforce the law served as an encoura cement to the trusts. and they waxed nightly. Enforcement of it from the date of enactment might have stifled them at birth or during infancy. Now. the task of enforce 1nent is both great and arduous. and thus far not very productive of satis- factory results. And it is to be feared that the trusts have discounted in advance the possibly adverse decis- :ons of the Supreme court in the To- bacco and Oil cases and are fully pre- pared to continue operations as here fofore but under new plans of organi- zation.

Tn some quarters. criticism of Gov. Baldwin is based upon an assumption that he favors the limitation of death damages" to $10.000. This assump- tion is unfounded and does him an in justice. In his message to the Gen. eral Assembly. Gov. Baldwin stated, not that the limit should be s10.0O0. but that 1t should certainly not be less than $1O.O00' He simply stated an advisable minimum. leaving the General Assembly to fix the limit as much higher as its idea of the value of human life might reach.

BOTH ARE NOW
 IN THE DISCARD .''

IN THE DISCARD.
 Comments upon the defeat of Sher- if Hawley. by the newspapers or ConEressrnan HflI's homo town. Nor walk. have been somewhat rare. but the defeat of Senator Bulkeley has moved one of them. the Hour. to say: eneriff Sidney E. (Hawley defeated toneressman Ebenexer J. Hill for the United States Senate. Both are now in the discard. Did 1t pay to de1eat such a rood man aS Hill?
 The comment Is somewhat in the nature of an assertion that both the Hawiey and the Bulkeley defeats are the result of their antagonism to the Hiu candidacy two years ago. In an interview shortly after the election. Sheriff Hawley attributed his defeat to ~treachery'' in the Norwalks. The above quotation from the Hour is. in effect. . confirmation of the sheriffs charge.
 At first glance. the attributing of the defeat of Bulkeley to the same cause which worked Hawley's down. faII. might seem to be a non-sequitur. But. is 1t? Congressman Hilrs dis trict comprises Fairfield and Litch- field counties: the former gave. in the Republican caucus. a majority of six against Bulkeley. while the latter county voted unanimously against him. Thus. 1t appears. on the surface at least. as if Senator Bulkeley might attribute his defeat last, week to his eleventh-hour appearance at Hartford two years ago in support of Brandegee and against Hill
 And so, as the Hour says, both flaw ley and Bulkeley "are now in the dis card" because of their joint labors in 1909 which resulted in Hills defeat for Senator. Both were punished so soon as the people could reach them. the penalty inflicted in each case being the heaviest possible within the punf- tive instruments power.
 The moral of the matter pertains to the danger of affronting the people. It is. never we'll for one who may seek the popular favor in the future. to antagonize public sentiment in the present. A majority of the Repub- licans of Fairfield county desired the election of Hill to the Senate; Sheriff Hawley used his influence for Brande- gee. A probable majority of Connec- ticut Republicans entertained the same desire: Senator Bulkeley aided very materially in thwarting it. Both have been punished. and severely.

ever he took occasion to say some other things that did not sound so good but which are great deal more important. He said the records show that Tucson has the highest crude death rate of any city in the terri tory. the highest percentage of native tuberculosis. the highest percentage of pneumonia and the highest per centage of diarrhoeal diseases among infants. If the people were all that they should be these things could not exist with good sanitation, sewage and garbage disposal. and they are the health problems the Tucson peo- pie should undertake to solve.
 The doctor said he believed large percentage of deaths from the causes named is due to the large Mexican population that has not kept abreast of the times in sanitary matters, peO- pie who for generations have lived as did their ancestors and in the same localities that have eventually grown unhealthful through unsanitary prac tices. as the city has developed. They do not understand hygienic prnci- ples more than did the generations before them and disease has grown among them. Hygiene taught from books s is all right but it does not go far enough. especially with young people. They must be taught these things by practical application in the school room and by constant illustra- tion and examples so they will in- stinctively improve their practices as have the Americans under like condi- tions. If the schools fail to devote much attention to these things. es- pecially in Tucson where the records show such need of it. then they fail to that extent. of the accomplishment of their highest purpose.
