for the Detroit Carriage Go. Both

!, works He was walking east, while
the two who were killed. were going
IN the opposite direction.
Only few minutes before the acct
dent, Secretary Z. Z. Hartwick, who
had arrived at the yards early. TO take
inventory, noticed that the big lum-
Der pile, which was Is feet back from
she sidewalk. on The property OF the
lumber company, was leaning danger
orslv. and ne immediately called the
attention OF Foreman Kaiser to the
matter. and ordered him to put the
men at work on rebuilding the pile
as soon as they appeared.
In the meantime, the three Inflated
workmen were Walking along Clay
ave. toward the yards, and Just as
they were parallel with the big Pile, a
gust OF wind toppled the lumber over
apcn them.
Kiln instinctively leaped for safety
as he heard the crash, and was caught
near the edge of the shower OF heavy
timbers, which was all that saved his
life. In spite Of his injuries, he
|struggied to extricate himself, and
was assisted by workmen In the yards,
who rushed To the rescue.
They then worked desperately to
dig the other two men out OF the
debris, thinking that they might still
% alive. but death had been almost
Instantaneous for both.
n Secretary Hartwick, of the lumber
company, made the following state.
ment:
ION coming to the Office this morn
ing, at about GAS, I noticed the pile
of lumber was leaning slightly TO tho
south and Immediately asked my
brother, j. w. Hartwick. to examrns

the nile was not swaying, and that
there did not seem to be any immedi
ate danger. Notwithstanding this, |
gave orders to the yard superintendent
TO have the pile braced and replied,
but before he could get this done, a
sudden, strong gust of wind struck
the pile and blew II over.

FEW MEMBERS OF
CHURCHES ACTIVE
Only 10 Per Cent Take Real In
terest in Work, Says DR..
+. s. Lewis

Statistics show that only 10 per
cent OF those who Join the church be.
come active members" said DR.. K. 8.
Lewis, editor OF "Classmate," New
York. In his address on Problems OF
the new year." before the Thursday
afternoon session OF the Southeastern
Michigan Sunday School Workers In
stitute, In the Central M. 4. church.
Another 10 per cent become loose
ly afiiliated and the rest are lost" he
continued. Those who make up the
20 per cent lost are not the buns and
reprobates OF society. They are our
own children. They drift away
ing their teens because we try to win
souls for Christ and put them In cold
storage, whereas one brought into the
church must be built up In the Chris
tian life.
ITO me the greatest problem of to-
day Is not evangelism, missions, or
financial difficulties, but the question
OF holding our young men and women
for active service in the church. This
Is true not only for Methodists, but
for all denominations.
The age OF the teens Is wonder
fully responsive to those who know
how TO deal with its representatives.
II should be made the time OF great
est gain to the church rather than
that Of chief loss"
In his address on Men and the
church." DR.. Ralph w. Keller. OF New
York. made literal application OF
the once popular song. Everybody
Works But Father" TO the present re-
ligious situation.
What men and women want" he
said. rs the gospel of Jesus Christ
related to their everyday lives. We
must bring about a condition In which
the father and mother will be the
priest and priestess or the family,
guiding the boys and girls In their
spiritual growth"
The Rev. Wade G. Barclay, OF chi.
cago, said that the best Sunucy
schools take the older members and
put them In teacher training classes,
thereby getting the most efiicient
teachers possible. The young people
of today. he said, are most In need OF
a ministry In sympathy with them.

PROTEST HOTLY AGAINST
TRACK STORAGE CHARGE

He suggested that the railroads
should be assessed similar charge
when they neglect to deliver cars
within q reasonable time.
The railroads say the shipper must
pay IL we hold up car 10 days, put
II they hold up q car from IL to e
days they say good night and the
shipper can get no satisfaction" said
Mr.. Hoffman.
]. G. Cuminsky attacked the Grand
Trunk railroad for failure to take
cars from other railroads and deliver
them on private tracks. He brought
in Henry Mitchell a customer OF his,
who claimed that he had not had
more than three switchings In three
weeks, and told of car that had been
lost en- route, found and delivered 10
tine Art Stove works and then lost
again.
For the railroads, Frank E. Robson
opened the argument, and explained
that the proposed charge was, not fol
the purpose OF producing revenue, but
to Clear the tracks. ,l
j. j. Bernet, assistant vice-presideni
of the New York Central lines, follow
ed Mr.. Robson, and gave figures show
ing that II takes an average OF 5.3t
days for q car to be unloaded on the
Michigan Central team tracks.
The charge has been made that
the railroads have not kept pace with
the growth OF Detroit, and, perhaps
we have been a little behind the pro.
cession, but we spent million and q
half dollars this year. and we will
q v,an ma a
behind we believe that we are catch
ing up" he said. Detroit has $50
car lengths OF team tracks on the
Michigan Central and Lake Shore
lines, while Chicago, where we get
some business, too, has only 800 car.
lengths OF team tracks"
General Supt. Brown. Of the Michi
gan Central, followed with more fig.
ures on the delay In unloading cars.
THE shippers claim that we do not
place their cars fast enough" said
Mr.. Brown but believe that the
cause OF all the congestion In the De
troit terminals Is the slow unloading
OF cars"
Chairman Glasgow, called for fair
discussion of the question.
THE railroad commission has been
charged with favoring the railroads,
but this Is q general accusation, and
1t Is balanced In our minds by the
charges Of the railroad men that we
are favoring the shippers without any
regard to the rights of the railroads,
he said. THE shipper who holds a
car beyond the free time cannot claim
that he pays for II when he pays the
demurrage of 81 per day. II car
could not earn more than 81 per day
for the railroads II would soon 60 to
the bottom OF the Detroit river. The
shipper who holds cars an unreason-
able length Of time is depriving the
railroad OF the use of its property, and,
furthermore. he is deprlving other
shippers Of the service Of that car"
Traffic Commissioner A. T, Water
fall presented the resolution OF the
Board Of Commerce transportation
committee, that II has agreed that n
charge OF IS per day after three days
beyond the IS hours Of free time which
Is allowed, would be reasonable, and
aid In solving the problem OF traffic
congestion In Detroit.

Il was expected that Mrs. Ashley
would be sorry to learn OF the resi-
dence, provision, inasmuch as she has
lived in Detroit most of her life. She
was married In the apartment where
she Is now living and has raised her
family, two boys and girl, there
She is consequently well acquainted

Mrs. Ashley and her children are

The children, the youngest of whom
Is II years old, all have good positions
in the city One OF them, the elder
OF the two boys, Is married, and he
will not likely remove from the city.
Ashley's aged mother, living at No.
$50 Grand River-ave., Is also. natural
ly, much pleased with the pardon OF
her son. She has prayed night and
day for his release, and she said she
was confident that her petitions would
be answered. She and her sons wife
have worked together and individually
without cessation Tor Ashley pardon,
and their untiring efforts have been
matter OF admiration on the part or
their acquaintances. The mother Is
now about 80 years OF age, but she Is
remarkably active and bright, being
able to go about alone and attend TO
all her household affairs.
Ashley has been in prison 16 years,
having been sentenced Dec. 81, 1896.
He put up hard fight to free himself,
maintaining that he was not the man
who shot Magee. Witnesses were
produced in the hope OF proving an
alibi for him.
When IL was reported, few months
ago, that Gov. Osborn was planning
to release Ashley on parole. Ashley's
mother told The Times, In the course
Of an interview. that she had tried to
prevent her sons attorney from using
the alibi witnesses, declaring she
knew they were not going TO tell the
truth. She said that she believed her
son was not In his right mind at the
