never got to the floor, for which Its sup
porters held Speaker Merritt responsible.
Senator Stephen J. Stilwell, who intro
duced the bill in the Senate In the last

Walking on Roof of Car, Man 8
Head GraZes Feed Wire.

Samuel Ehrhardt, a porter connected
with Buffalo Bills Wild West company,
escaped electrocution in Mount Vernon
Yesterday by the narrowest margin, when
II 600 volts passed through his body.
Ehrhardt was walking on the top of an
animal car In the Mount Vernon freight
wards when his head came in contact
with a feed wire for the trains on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road. There was a binding flash and
Ebrhardt was hurled from the car to the
roadbed.

merly worked for the Westchester Light

to q man who has received an electric
shock. worked over Ehrhardt until a
doctor arrived, when the porter was
taken TO the Mount Vernon Hospital
1t is believed that the quick work of
Dalzell saved Ehrhardt's life, as the
emergency treatment, the doctor said,
was all that kept the mans heart beat
ing. The electricity burned all the hair
off the porter's head and his shoulder
was burned black.

Only nefficiency Of Police According to Mrs. Ehzabeh
seIden Rogers, Maued Great Parade
By Mrs. Elizabeth Selden Rogers.

The suffragists did well; only
the inef6ciency of the police marred
the great parade on Saturday.
That Mayor Gaynor or Mr.. Muir
phy, or both, have brought our
police to so low a point of discipline
that they cannot keep the crowds
in place on the occasion of a parade
is indeed sad and shocking.
The wonderful procession clear
ly showed that women will win the
vote in New York, and very soon,
too.
Of course. the majority of the
women OF New York were not
marching, but that fifteen thousand
women of all kinds were sufficient

to march for this principle of JUS
tice is a proof that the movement
is of such force that it is bound to
win. Only a moral question is
capable of uniting women in dem

thought and action.
