 GO TO BRAZIL

Montgomery, January 3.-(Special)- Frank O. Walsh of this city, master mechanic of the Western Railroad Of Alabama, today announced his resigne- tion as an attache fo that system, to be effective February 20, next. On that date he sails for Rio De Janeiro and where he is to become mechanical as sistant to the general manager of the Brazil Railroad company. one of the largest railroad corporations in South America.
 Mir. Walsh leaves the Western rail- road after a service of 10 years with that system, during which time he has been master mechanic, stationed in Montgomery. Under his efficient man agement the shops in this city are given the reputation throughout the country of being among the most up to date of their kind anywhere in the United States. From steam propelllng power to that of electrically driven ma chinery Is the most recent change which he introduced at the Montgomery shops, thereby putting them on a plane of usefulness surpassed by none other in the country.
 The retiring master mechanic eX- poets to take his family with him when he leaves Montg nery. All pre- lininary arrangements nave been made with this end in view.
 The railroad career of MT. Walsh has been meteoric. He enjoys the dis tinction of being of that army of Amer jeans who have arisen from the bot tom to the top. His elevation from master mechanic of a small though well equipped railroad to right hand bower of one of the largest railroads in South America is evidence of his at- tention to duty.
 r. J. Egan, general manager of the Brazil railroad, is the real head of the system, and himself comes from a railroad stock that has won reputa- ton in this country. The general man. ager is the son of J. NJ. Egan, a for mer president of the Central of Geor- gla railroad.
 During his residence in Montgomery MT. Walsh has become attached to a number of the fraternal and social cir cles of the city. He is a Shriner and a member of both of the social clubs of the city His wife, who will accom- pany him to Brazil, has long been one of the city's social leaders, and is an enthusiastic worker in every endeavor of the city's welfare.
 It is understood that MT. Walsh will be one of the highest salaried mon in the employ of the Brazil railroad.

AYIATORS MUST BE
 MORE CAUTIOUS

New York, January 3.-A plea for more landt Field Bishop former president of the Aero club of America and now vice president of that organization as a result of the series of fatal accidents which have marred the history of the aeroplane during the closing days of 1910. Says MT. Bishop:
 "The progress of aviation during 1910 was phenomenal, but how many of those who contributed to it yielded their lives The three Americans, who excelled all others by their feats at Belmont park, have met their deaths in the 60 days that have elapsed since the close of the International meeting. Doubtless personal rivalry and the greatest pecuniary re- wards formed the incentive for the ef- forts that resulted so disastrously.
 ''If aviation is going to be of any use, if it is to become factor in civiliza- ton, it must be made safe.
 "Elated by his first success. man has grown over confident and become em- boldened to things that are beyond his present ability. We don't understand per fectly yet the capabilities and limitations of the frail craft We have built to navi- gate the air and have presumed too much ; upon their strength. f. ''
 Tn 1910 the world marveled at what aviators did. In 1911 let it be shown what they can do safely. Let all the skill and all the ability expended during 1910 in producing spectacular effects be expended this year in useful results. Let accidents in 1911 be rare as they were common at tho close of 1910.
 with safety and. cautious as watch words the coming year will be of more narmanent value than that of the past. :"

 "It was no use.
 ''The great big, strong man took her by the shoulders, shook her and showed her in her room and finally locked the door and told her through the keyhole, like she was a spoiled child, that she should re- main there for 24 hours.'
 The look of consternation on the faces of the women to whom the story was told was wonderful to behold.

MAN AND WOMAN FREED
 OF MURDER CHARGE

Lancaster Mo-, January 3.-Mrs Alma Vaughn and Dr. James R. Hull, accused of the murder of Prof. John T. Vaughn nearly a year ago, today were freed of the charges against them in the circuit court here. Their cases were not pressed by Prosecuting Attorney Reiger of Adair county, after Judge Shelton had refused to grant the fur ther continuance asked by the state.
 The widow appeared unconcerned when she was notified that she was no longer held on a murder charge The inability of Dr. Paul Schweitzer of the State University and the prosecution s poison expert to be present was the reason for dismissal

John,' she said gently, but firmly. T hate to hurt you, but I must teach you that no woman with an atom of self-respect or an ounce of spirit will allow mere man to domineer over her and treat her as though she were a spoiled child. You must learn your lesson right now
 And she proceeded to give him good thrashing, then and there."
 All of the women present accepted the story for what it was worth, believing

firmly that it actually took place just as
 related.

A crowd of women were discussing this subject the other day when one of the members related a most interesting story along this line of thought.
 "Of course" said she, mo sweeping rule can be laid down for what women would do if their husbands beat then Some of them would take 1t philosoph- ically, dry their eyes and prepare cup Of cold poison and administer it to their lords the next morning, but I know what one little fragile creature did that think is better than any of that The woman I am going to tell you about married a man who entertained the ideas embodied in the old proverb. Cautiously enough he did not tell his sentiments to the person most concerred before they were mar ried. He kept them discreetly to himself, as many perfect gentlemen do."
 Shortly after their honeymoon" con- tinued the woman as all of her hearers became interested, "he found the little bride in her street clothes one ofternoon prepared to go to some feminine func- ton.
