ENGINEER DIES At THROTTLE
Scalded When Boiler Valve Blows
Out Without Warning.

Chicago, Ill.-Fatally scalded in
the cab Of his engine while the
train was passing West 55th street,
and Central Park avenue, William
Welety of Battle Creek, Mich, a
Grand Trunk engineer, dropped un-
conscious and dying at his post. In
the coaches that the engine was draw
ing at speed of 35 miles an hour,
the scores of passengers were not
aware of their peril.
Welety expired on the way to the
hospital. Welety's injuries resulted
from the blowing out of boiler valve
in the engine cab. The explosion oc-
cured without moments warning
and the engineer was instantly envel-
oped in cloud of steam. The fire.
man cropping through the vapor stun
bled over Welety's prostrate body and
realized that the engine was running
with no one at the thrp pttle. He drag
ged Welety out into the rear of the
cab and pulled the emergency brake
signal. Then he made his way through
the steam to the throttle which he
closed and as the train crew set the
brakes the train stopped with a jolt.

Grand Island, Neb.-The body of
little Goldie Williams, the ten
year-old girl who disappeared from
her home here, was found in a vacant

GAS OvERCOMES
AS WATER KILLS
MANY PEOPLE IN NEW YORK ARE
CARRIED FROM THEIR APART
MENTS UNCONSCIOUS.
II VALUABLE HORSES DROWN
Great Fissures Are Opened In Pave
ment and Center of Street Is
Forced Upward Three Feet
Policemen Have Close Call.

New York City.-Hundreds of per-
sons were overcome by gas, many
Of them being carried from their
apartments unconscious; II valuable
horses were drowned and 100 auto
mobiles were demolished as the re-
suit of the bursting of six-foot water
main at West 9th street and West
End avenue. The blast caused leak
in a three foot gas main and the es-
Gaping fumes swept through the en-
tire district.
Miniature Earthquake.
Tho bursting of the water main was
in effect a miniature earthquake.
Great assures were opened in the
pavement and the center of 9th street
forced upward three feet. The flood
of water was first discovered in the
basement of the Thedford garage in
West 96th street, where 80 horses
were stabbed. Peter Davey, stable
man, and Policeman Charles Weidig
and w. S. Swain doffed their clothes
and, with the temperature but little
above zero, swan from stall to stall,
cutting the horses halters. The water
soon rose almost to the ceiling and
when the three men thought of their
own safety they found 20 oats boxes
piled against the door at the runway.
BY an almost superhuman effort they
dislodged the boxes and pulled some
of the horses out with them. Davey
fell in dead faint and was rushed to
hospital.
Valuable Horses Drowned.
The horses destroyed were valued
at an average of $500 each. Among
them was a big Percheron named
"Jim," winner of the blue ribbon at
the work horse parade last Memorial
day, and valued at $4,000. Two of the
300 automobiles in the garage were in
the repair room below the street floor
and hundred of them were smashed
to pieces. All were hurled against the
wall by the inrushing water and bat
tered to splinters. An aeroplane
which several chauffers had just CON-
pleted was also destroyed. A score
of apartment houses and private resi-
dences were filled with the escaping
gas and reserve policemen inspected
every room in the district to make
sure that no one had been overcome
and left behind.

Washington, D. CA graphic pict-

which she said the immigrant laborer

"Old, young, bent, disease-stricken
women spend their days in dirty,

MY Investigations have shown"
said Miss Byington, that it is impos-
sible to maintain a normal standard of
living on less than SIS a week. At
present 65 per cent Of the employees Of
the Homestead plant are day laborers
who are paid s10.50 a week."
The family of a steel worker who

its income on the average as follows:
Rent $1.SS, food S4.16, clothing 94

emperor, brings to an end the power
full Manchu dynasty which has reigned

and was the chief figure in China for
three years. Surrounded by large
number Of princes of the imperial clan
and Manchu officials with reactionary
ideas, the regent was brought face to
face with revolutionary movement
in favor of modern reforms. He en-
deavored to placate both parties, but
ended by causing general dissatisfac-
ton which led to his resignation on
December 6, 1911. The promise of a
constitutional government, made by
the dowager empress on her death
bed in 1908, was not fulfilled in any
way until May last year. In that
month an imperial edict abolished the
old grand council.

IN GIRL WHO HAD BEEN
PRONOUNCED "DEAD."
REMARKABLE SURGICAL CLINIC
Young Woman Had Ceased to Breathe,
but When Machine Is Applied Her
Heart Begins to Beat
Regularly.

Chicago, Ill.-Science was given
new thrills here by the success of a
new invention by Chicago surgeon
which for over day prolonged the
life of Miss Florence Woodman. After
the young woman had been pro-
nounced "incompletely dead" a
vacuum cleaner with mechanical at
tachments was applied and for 20
hours her heart was kept beating and
an almost normal supply of blood
pumped through her veins. Miss
Woodman recently graduated from the
University of Illinois and was popular
in Champaign and Woodlawn. She
was unusually bright and vivacious
and scores of sorrowing friends at
tended her funeral.
Remarkable Surgical Clinic.
The details of how her life was
prolonged at one of the most remark
able surgical clinics ever held has just
became known. The machine is the
invention of DR.. Harry A. Richter of
Northwestern Medical college. Doctor
Richter applied the invention to Miss
Woodman and for the first time in
medical history an operation was sue

Richter.
Heart Begins to Beat.
Miss Woodman mad ceased to
breathe when the machine was ap.
piled. Immediately the heart began
to beat regularly, normal respiration
returned and the pulse was as strong
as though the young woman was in
perfect health. The blood returned to
her lips and face. AS soon as the ma
chine was stopped, the pallor of death
returned, the heart ceased beating and
respiration stopped. In agony the
girls relatives watched at the bed
side, watched the fight Of science tc
bring back the spirit of the dead girl
from shadowland. For 20 hours the
fight went on. The operation which
might have saved the girls life was
