Man Badly Injured in Trolley
Accident Keeps Wife in
Ignorance.
ASKED HER TO MEET HIM
Passengers on the Verdi Tell of
Strange Fate That Befell En-
gineer of Rio Light and
Power Company.

Among the early visitors to the Lam
port e. Holt Line pier, in Brooklyn.
yesterday was Mrs. Harry Focht, of
Cleveland, whose husband was a pas
senger on the steamship Verdi, in from
Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro.
She received a wireless message from
him several days ago saying that he was
returning on the Verdi. He asked that
she come to New York before January
3, stating that he would join her at her
hotel.
The young woman arrived from Cleve-
land on Tuesday, and was on the pier
yesterday long before the Verdi left
Quarantine. When the vessel came
within several hundred yards of the dock
Mrs. Focht looked anxiously for her
husband. Persons standing near her
were able to distinguish friends and
relatives on board but the young woman
from Cleveland was unable to see her
husband.
81 should think he would be on deck, h"
she remarked to woman beside her.
"Of course, he may have forgotten his
overcoat in Rio and does not wish to
come out in the cold air"
When the Verdi touched the bulkhead
DR.. Bradley. the ships surgeon. leaned
over the rail and asked a friend ashore
to see if there was a Mrs Focht on the
pier. Presently the young woman was
informed that her husband was Ill on
board and she became hysterical. AS
soon as the gangplank was put up Mrs.
Focht was led to "A stateroom adjoining
that OF the surgeon, where she found
her husband lying helpless upon cot;
His spine had been broken "A month
ago in a trolley accident in Rio. AL
though anxious to have her meet him,
the young man preferred to keep his
wife in ignorance of his condition during
the twenty-day Journey Of five thousand
miles from Rio.
Focht went to Brazil six months ago
as engineer in the employ of the RIO
Light and Power Company. His wife
was to have joined him on the next out
bound voyage Of the ship that brought
him home yesterday.
Mrs. Focht who had never before
been 10 New York, planned To nave her
husband show her the city on his return
yesterday.
The injured man, who f. twenty-seN'n
years old, vas taken 10 Cleveland last
night over the New York Central a. tho
care OF the Verdis snrgeon, his employ
ers providing him with every comfort
According To some OF the travellers
from Rio, Focht was injured in strange
manner. 4 child, il IS said, had been
run over by a trolley car and killed. The
motorman became frightened after the
child's body was removed from the
tracks and drove his car away at high
speed When away from the scene OF
the accident he jumped from the car and
fed. The wild car later Overhauled the
one ahead Of II and struck 1t with ter

COURT DIGNIFIES A PIE
Cites Mince Variety in Deciding
Unit of Food Case.
fBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.


BOSTON. Jan. 3.--Mlnce pie was cited by
the Supreme Court to-day to elucidate its
finding in a suit against the New England
Mamie Syrup Company. To illustrate a
nice legal distinction the court found mince
pie most useful. The plaintiff asserted that
maple syrup sold By the defendant and
composed both of maple and granuiated
sugar was not labelled so as to state the
ingredients.
The court says that the purchaser of a
mince pie considers not each individual in
gredient. but the pie as whole, and this
illustrates how articles composed OF two or
more ingredients are considered unit of
food
In the case before the court it was held
that the unit contracted for was the blend
ed sugar.

After the departure of the Astorians

ATHLETES SAVE LIVES
BY DIVING IN ICY WATER
Two Skaters Drowned, But Six Arc
Rescued by Daring Students and

Two Skaters Drowned, But SIX are
Rescued by Daring Students and
Revived.
Melrose, Mass.-Two boys were
drowned and six others required med
ical attendance to save their lives
when thirty skaters were thrown in
breaking of thin ice. The drowned
were Sargent Flagg, aged twelve
years, and Hugh Mcintyre of Green
wood
Only the heroic work of young ath-
letes who leaped into the pond and
dragged out the struggling boys pre-
vented greater loss of life. Among
the rescuers were Clarence Wanna
maker and Edward Mccarthy, Dart
mouth students; Donald Hanson of
Harvard, Elmer Wanamaker, captain
of the Melrose high school hockey
team, and Dettmar Jones of the Mas
sachusetts agricultural college.
Jones dived repeatedly into the
deepest of the water and brought back
a boy each time. He also recovered
the body of Flagg.
The accident happened at the close
of the annual hockey game of the
Me,rose high school team and the
Melrose high alumni. One of the
boys, Hugh Mcintyre, stepped on an
ice cake which became separated
from the main body and floated with
him into open water. Many had
gathered around, intent on extending
aid, when the ice beneath them gave
way, throwing them into water ten
feet deep.
Amid screams and cries for help
| the young men, who had been attend
ing the hockey game, jumped to the
| rescue.

through the Powder river valley to
Fort Nez Perces on the Columbia. He
returned across the Rocky mountains
in 1922 and was not seen again on
the Columbia.
With his going the Hudson's Bay
company took the place of the North
west company west of the Rockies.
For one year Finan Macdonald led the
Snake country expedition eastward
from Fort Nez Perces through this
va ley. But for two years succeeding
the parties went in and out by way
of the Bitterroot valley of Montana.
In the fall of 1925 travel was resumed
through Powder river and Burnt riv-
er under the leadership of Peter
Skene Ogden, who was one of the
most forceful men ever in charge of
the fur trade on the Columbia. He
endured hardships that would have
soon driven another from the field
and he has left his name in Utah as
a permanent record of his ability. He
first gave name to Mount Shasta and
to the Humboldt river region. His
name is honored in oregon. where he
died in 1854. He continued in charge
of the Snake country business until
1929, when it became necessary for
him to lead party to California.
In 1929 John Work or Wark sue
ceeded Mr.. ogden and continued in
charge until the coming of Nathaniel
J. Wyeth from Boston. who built Fort
Hall at the junction of the Snake
with the Portneuf and the Hudson's
Bay company bought him out and af-
terward for a long number of years
transacted their business from that
fort and from Fort Boise on the riv-
er of that name. The use of the Ore
gon trail from 1884 on is another
chapter and belongs to another pc
riod.
The fur trade along the coast led
the Yankee sailors to bring their
trading vessels to the Pacific and di-
rectly occasioned the discovery of the
mouth of the Columbia river by Cap
! tain Gray The Astor enterprise has
tened the opening of the fur trade on
| the river and directly occasioned the
| opening of the way across the plains
by which the Union Pacific railroad
now crosses and really opened the
way for the pioneers who settled Ore
gon. In this way the fur trade was
| directly responsible for the title of
| Oregon passing to the United States.
The use of the oregon Trail was
first by the Indians from time imme-
mortal, then by the Hunt party on
foot then by the trappers on horse
back, then by the pioneers in wagons,
then by the railroad coach and Pull
man car, and now by the auto.
