HEROIC WOMAN BIRD ROCK LIGHT BURNING Husband Washed Overheard She Trims Lamp For Ten
 Days With Baby is Alone on LOne- some Island in Magdalen Group, Until Rescue
 Came
(Special from United Press. )

Halifax, March 1S-For 10 days after board and drwoned in the midst of a storm that threatened the demoli- tion of the structure, Mrs. Peter Bor- que, of the lighthouse tender on Bird Rock Island of the Magdalen group, kept the beacon going and undoubtedly saved several vessels from piling up on the rocks. Both she and her baby, which, it is feared will die, suffered frightfully from exposure and hunger. They are now on the government steamer Seal and will be brought here.
 The heroism of the woman was un. surpassed in the maritime history of the Canadian lighthouse service. Ac- cording to the reports received by wirelss rom the Seal, attention was attracted to Bird Rock Island by sig nals of distress. A boats crew found Mrs Borque and her baby so weak they had to be carried on board the rescue steamer.
 For a time I thought I would go mad" said the woman, 'but I knew I had to do my duty. My baby suf- fered terribly from the cold, but ! held it tight as I could. It was a terrible task to crawl with her into the light chamber to keep the lights trimmed filled and burning. There was food but I could not cook it. And the baby cried constantly. Many times I heard the whistles of vessels in the fog but they veered away when they heard the bell ringing and saw the light. Finally. the Seal came"
 Bird Rock Lighthouse is the most storm swept area of the Nova Scotia coast and it's only visitors are the crews of the government vessels who go there with supplies

CORONER AND ENGINEER SEE
 TROLLEY TEST
Exhaustive Experiments With Various Brakes at Scene
 of Fatal Accident
MotOrman Benson Could Have Seen Obstacle 800 Feet Ahead and Had Four Different Ways of Stopping Car Within 300 Feet

Exhaustive tests to determine the speed in which a jumbo trolley car may be stopped, also to determine whether Motorlnan Stephen Benson, victim of the trolley crash at Silver Sands, Friday night, had opportunity to see the car ahead of him, were conducted this morning at the scene of Fridays accident, in the presence of Coroner John J. PhelaE, of this city, c. c. Elwell, engineer of the Public Utilities commission of tho state of Connecticut, and Superintend- ent Chapman of the local division of the Connecticut company.
 All the tests turned out decidedly to the advantage of the company, but this was somewhat offset by the fact that the car used was not thecar that caused the wreck and may have had an equipment in better working order: also by the fact that the crew of the car were 'nerved up' for the tests. knew exactly what to do. and were not taken by surprise as was the case with Motorman Benson, who was crushed in the wreckage when the vestibule of his car was smashed against the rear end of Coles Electric express car.
 The first test was to determine how far away Mortorman Benson had a chance to see the Coles Electric ex- press car standing on the track ahead.
 A small flag was planted at the scene of the collision, and then the test car was backed away. At dis- tance of 800 feet the flag in the track ahead was still plainly visible to the occupants of the test car, showing that Mctorman Benson should have had no difficulty in espying a big express car on the tracks at that distance.
 Careful tests were made then to As- certain how quickly the big jumbo" car could be brought to stop, from full speed to dead halt, using various brake equipments. The tests resulted as follows:
 Air brakes, stopped ear in 150 feet.
 Reversing motors, stopped car in 2lO feet.
 Hand-braise, storred car in eso feet
 ,ole off. 13O feet.
 The Emergency brake,'' so called, is not a brake at all. but is the last resort, and judging from tests today the most efficient, in time of trouble. Each jumbo car is equipped with four motors of 40 horsepower apiece. When the trolley is off, so that the power cannot be reversed. and the air tank is empty so that the air break isn't working, and the hand brake is out of commission the motorman can fall back on the Emergency, which consists of switching over his four motors SO that they run as generators and are opposed to each other. the action of the electric current in op- posite directions turning the motors into very effective electromagnetic brakes.
 From these four tests 1t was ascer- tained that Motorman Benson, pro- (Continued on Page 2.)

A little joke that was carried too far came near ending in a tragedy early this morning, when Fortunati Macri, youth of IS, shot and twice wounded Frank Risso, aged 27, put ting two bullets through Risso's chest, one of them penetrating lung. Risso is now at Bridgeport hospital, in a serious, but not dangerous condi- tion, and his assailant is held in bonds of S5,00O on the charge of assault with intent to murder. The affair occur red at B 1-2 Reilly street, where both men board.
 In the melee young Marci also shot himself through the left hand, the bullet passing the complete width of his hand from side to side. He says he does not know how he happened to do this.
 Immediately after the shooting Macri was captured and held, while trying to make his escape, by Antonio Vene, keeper of the boarding house. Vene, though unarmed and in his night clothes bravely grappled with Macri and held him until the arrival of the authorities
 The affair which ended so seriously

This was before six o'clock Risso came over to Macri's bed and shook it violently, shouting to him to wake up and get dressed
 Macri objected to this brand of humor and called Risso vile name, and told him to go follow his mother, who died about a month ago. This enfuriated Risso. who jumped upon Macri while he was in bed and start ed to throttle him. Then Macri in self-defense drew his pistol from un- der his pillow and shot Risso twice at such close range that the powder burned Rissos clothes, showing that the men were closely grappled when the shooting occurred. .
 Risso fell on the floor and Macri jumped out of bed, threw on a few clothes and started to make his es- cape But the landlord, Antonio Vene, who had heard the shooting ran out and held him. Risso made a move for his pocket, as if to pull his revolver, but this didn't frighten Vene, who shouted, "You won't get away from here" and hung on.

Jos. Gerabosky, charged with hav- ing thrown sulphLric acid upon the coat of Anna Roshak of 1873 Seaview avenue, while she was walking along the street Friday night, was arraign- ed before Judge Foster in the city court. this morning, and was bound over to the Superior court under bonds of $500 on the charge of az graVated assault.
 The State established the fact that Gerabosky was a rejected lover, and that he followed Miss Roshak and another man into a moving picture theatre.

San Antonio, March 1S-Fourteen men are known to have been killed and score injured, today, when the explosion of locomotive boiler wrecked the roundhouse of the South ern Pacific Railroad here. Parts of bodies were blown several hundred feet by the explosion.
 Southern Pacific officials stated that 14 were known to be dead while oth- CT estimates run as high as p or 30.
 The men at work in the shops were in the majority strikebreakers brought into San Antonio by the Southern Pa cific when the strike of the machln- ists began last fall. The cause of the explosion has not yet been as- certained, but charges that dynamite was placed in the boiler of the engine are being made.
 The machine shops, copper shop and part of the roundhouse were comple- ly wrecked. Hardly a vestige of the engine which exploded remains. The jacket of the boiler, weighing more than half a ton, was blown over d block away.
 The extreme force of the explosion has led to thorough investigation being ordered.
 Confusion followed the catastrophe and an exact estimate Of the dead cannot be made. It is possible many of the dead will never be identified as the bodies were nlangled beyond recognition. Fragments of bOdieT were found for blocks around the railroad wards
 Every ambulance in the city, doc- tors and hospital corps from Fort Sam Houston and Y. NJ. C. A. workers were rushed to the scene to search for dead and give aid to the in jured.
 This afternoon, the rescue crews were hauling out bodies piece by piece from the wreckage of the shops. Not

 Devils Den is a natural fort. There are two approaches, on Op- poSite sides, guarded by huge rocks. On the other two sides are sheer cliffs, from 50 to 100 feet in height. The ''Den" is a spacious cave in which Is a mountain spring. There is ample room for half a hundred defend- CTS.
 Within a radius of three miles, nearly all the Aliens have moun- tain homes. Devils Den is on top of a mountain of nearly solid granite. There is practically no vegetable to shield an attacking force.
