CRAWLS UNDER
CAR TO DEATH
s Year Old Boy Crushed in
P. R. R. Yard.

Frank Ponneck, years, of 2S1
Hall avenue, while crawling under
freight car shortly after noon today
was so seriously injured that he died
while being taken in the corridor
of the city hospital. That two OF
his companions escaped similar ia
talities is considered miraculous, as
at the time the engnie set the cars
in motion two of the dead boys COM
panions started to crawl under the
car that killed the boy
The names of the boys who es-
capped injury could not be learned,
for as soon as they saw the limpless
for mof their companion being drag
ged along they shouted and ran
from the Pennsylvania yards in Fay
ette street where the accident hap
pened The lad who was killed, 1t is
understood, was crawling under the
car as is the usual custom for num-
ber of lads who use the company's
ground as a short cut to and from
school.
The wheels of the car did not run
over the lad. From the appearance
of his face his head was down and
the blood rushed to that part of the
boys body, giving indication that
the boy was colored. According to
eye witnesses the boy was dragged
about 100 feet and the flesh was
literally torn and burned from the
limpless form of the lad.
Boys who witnessed the accident
rushed to James Craigen, of Newark
who was engineer Of the train. At
ter learning of the plight of the boy
he gave the stopping signal to c. H..
Egan, of Railway, who was plotting
the engine. The train was brought
to a quick stop and willing hands
brought the body Of the lad to the
Pennsylvania railroad station.
Although the accident happened
at 1906 o'clock the lad was not
transferred to the hospital until
1895, and then without medical at
tention. Coroner James ]. Flynn
was on the scene as some one In
formed him the lad had been killed
instantly. The city ambulance was
called and the boy taken to the hos

striking from the Standard Under

Refining, Barber Asphalt Paving
and Atlantic Terra Gotta shops in
this city. The Cable works is closed
down completely, the big plant of
the American Smelling & Refining
Company has little more than fifty
unskilled men at work, over 1000
being out, and upwards of 200
laborers are on strike at the Barber
plant. Thirtyfour kiln settlers, car
riers and drawers struck from plant

shop in buckingham avenue at 8
O'Clock this morning and about a
score of laborers quit work with

Guggenheim and Gable Works.

the Hungarians, Slavs, Poles and
others who struck from the A. S. &
r. plant last night and this morn
ing. Many were stoned. Two per-
sons were injured about the head

day.
Upwards of 200 men employed at
laboring work In the yard of the

this afternoon none of the strikers
had made demands nor approached
officials on the point of arbitration.

New York, Juno 11:-Governor
Stubbs, of Kansas, Roosevelt
chieftain, arrived from Chicago to-
day, for an important conference
with Colonel Roosevelt Before
talking with the colonel at the Out
look office Stubbs gave no hint OF
his mission, nor did Roosevelt tell
what he expected to hear from his
lieutenant. That 1t was something
important was apparent from the
fact that the coming of Stubs was
post-haste and unheralded.
When he came out from the con.
ference with Roosevelt Governor
Stubbs told newspaper men that it
was his opinion that Roosevelt
would not go to Chicago.

Chicago, June 11:-The Republi-
can national committee voted SO to
II to seat the four Taft delegates
at large from Kentucky.
Barnes in Center of Stage,
Within three hours after he ar
rived in Chicago today William
Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Repub-
ltCan state committee Of New York,
had been precipitated into the center
of the stage. He had been COM
mtsstoned by the Taft forces to de-
feat Roosevelt; that is his only task,
and he can use any method that he
deyises to attain that result, even
though the ultimate outcome should
be abandonment of President Taft
as candidate for denomination.
Barnes had been commissioned by
the President to do all this and
more. He had been commissioned
to take care of Boss Flynn, of Pitts
burgh. Ways and means were dis
cussed at q brief conference with
Secretary Hilles today.
Barnes has orders to see that
Senator Root is chosen temporary
chairman. The New York leader
claims that this is already accom-

Root will make the keynote speech
of the convention His friends in
sisted today that Root is of the pro
per dark horse proportions and
would make a good compromise
candidate for president. Also, since
Roots speech is expected to be the
greatest effort of his life his friends
hope he will make a good impress
sion, good enough to stampede the
convention in case Roosevelt threat
ems to defeat Taft.
The Roosevelt forces are still
working to encompass the defeat Of
Root.
The talk of compromise heard in
the Cumins and La Toilette camps
where the leaders hoped to deadlock
the convention and trade for advan-
tages and was ridIculed by the Taft

declared that from their viewpoint

were worried today over the often
