the Western Pacific railroad, nine

Blind MAN runs
STEAM ENGINE
Intuition Tells Him Steam Pressure
in Boiler.

Tionesta, Pa, May 29.-Blind al
most since infancy, Many Copeland,
A years old, despite his handicap,
has safely filled a perilous position
for years, and is today considered
one of the most capable oil well
bumpers in Forest county.
Before he was years old Cope
land lost his sight, but regardless
Of this fact, nearly everything he
has undertaken since that time has
been successful. For a number of
seasons he worked on his fathers
farm and made himself generally
useful in fixing windmills, moving
machines, sheds and fences.
Several years ago William Lawr-
ence engaged Copeland as a pump
er on his lease and today says he
never had a more proficient man.
He not only assists in drilling the
wells, but keeps the gas engines in
perfect running order.
He is able to take them complete
ly apart and put them together
without any assistance. When
steam is used for drilling purposes
he is able to tell within pound or
so of how much steam is up. When
he accepted the job his friends pre-
dicted that he would blow up his
boilers, but he has never had ser
ious accident, although he has been
close to several.
Copeland knows his neighbors by
their walk, and horses and wagons
by action and sound alone. During
leisure hours Copeland studies mem
suration, not from books, but, in a
way peculiar to himself.

GOTHAM WATERS
ADD TO NUMBERS
One Thousand Join Ranks of the
Strikers Last
Night.
EXPECT MORE OUT BY TONIGHT
Hotels are Making Every Effort to
Keep Service up to the
Standard.

New York, June 1.-The addition
Of i 900 strikers to the ranks, bring
ing the total to 1000, and demon
stration marked with disorder on
Fifth avenue were last nights feat
ures of the effort of the Information
al Hotel Workers union to enforce
recognition of the organization and
to obtain Increases in wages and i'm
provements in working conditions
for employees in the kitchens and
dining rooms of thousands of New
York eating places.
The thirty hotels and restaurants
affected by the strike successfully
concealed their embarrassment in
some instances, but in other places
the dining rooms had to be closed
and restaurant service was concen-
trated in single room. In almost
every case it was declared that the
captains remained loyal, and al
though practically all of the walters
and hundreds of cooks quit, skele-
ton crews were organized of other
hotel employees, college boy recruits
and negroes.
The hotel men, realizing, as they
said, that it had come to "a show
down. were busy last night mobil-
izing an army of substitutes, princi-
pally from Boston, Philadelphia and
other eastern cities, as we'll as me-
groes from southern winter resorts.
They declared they would fight to
the finish, even though 1t might be
necessary to close some of the places.
Union officials said, on the other
hand, that they had exhausted only
one-third of their power in this
city; that additions to the ranks
were recorded hourly; that negotia-
lions were on looking to the strike
of other employees and that they ex-
pected to bring about practically a
complete tieup of the hotel and res
taurant business in the city, and If
necessary to extend the movement
to other places.
The first notable demonstration of
the strike occurred last night when
about 400 men marched up Fifth
avenue and halted in front of Del
monico's, shouting epithets at the
walters there who refused to join
them. Policemen with night sticks
drawn cowed the mob and 1t moved
along to other hotels, where similar
tactics were used. Later massmeet-
ing was held in an opera house,
where the stage was placarded with
fiery epigrams.

MAN AND CHILD ARE
KILLED BY AVIATOR
Machine Driven by Turpin Crashes
Into Stand.

Seattle, Wash, May 31.-J. Cliff
ford Turpin, the aviator, dashed in
to the grandstand at The Meadows
in his first fight yesterday, fatally
injuring man and a child and less
seriously injuring fifteen other per-
sons. six of them women.
The man and child, who were IA
tally hurt were taken to the county
hospital, where the man died with
out being identified.
Both Turpin and Phil Parmalee,
his partner, declare the accident was
caused by a spectator, who ran
across the track in front Of Turpin
as he was headed north preparatory
to rising for the first fight of the
afternoon. The aeroplane was trav-
cling at fifty miles an hour and Tur-
pin tilted the right wing in order
to miss the man. He was unable to
right the machine in time and it
swerved into the grandstand.
Turpin was cut over the left eye
and was rendered unconscious for
several minutes. He is not badly
hurt. The meet was called off.
When Turpin swerved his machine
1t seemed that it must rush direct
ly into the crowded grandstand. He
guided 1t, however, so that it col
lided with the tier of boxes in front
of the grandstand. The machine, its
momentum checked by striking the
frame of the stand, fell upon a
crowd of people in front of the
stand.
