He PUMPS A HAND CAR
New President of New York Central
Is Caught in Wreck.

Cleveland, O.. Dec. 13.-That the par
tial derailment Of train No 16 on the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail-
way near Wickliffe. east of this city
last night was the result Of a deliber-
ate attempt at train wrecking was
the belief expressed by Lake Shore Of
flcials early today.
They assert that spikes had been re-
moved from the rails and the road has
offered a reward of 81 900 for the arrest
Of the person tampering with the road
bed.
Attached to train No. 16 was the pri-
vate car of the newly elected president
of the New York Central system, AL
fred H. Smith. The private car was
not derailed.
The fireman was killed.
Mr. Smith, after a conference with
the engineer of the train, issued this
statement:
1.-THE engineer told me that while the
train was proceeding about a mile from
Wickliffe the engine suddenly leaped
into the air. indicating very plainly
that an obstruction that could not read
lily be seen and yet would cause de-
railment had been on the track. The
accident is very mystifying. in the view
Of this and the added fact that 1t was
a perfectly straight stretch where the
wreck occurred"
After the wreck Mr.. Smith helped to
operate a hand car four miles to a
telegraph office to summon aid.

BLIGHT OF PARTIES.
It Holds Chicago Back Declares Band
Of Ref0rmers.

Chicago. Dec. IA conference of
citizens, both men and women, was
held here today to consider means of
promoting the candidacy of independ-
ents for the aldermanic election next
spring.
The call for the conference, which
was signed by 75 leading men and
women Of the city. asserts that local
government conditions in this COM
munity are unsatisfactory in many
ways While the city council is meet
ing its duties with s greater sense of
responsibility to the public than are
some Of the other local governing au-
thorities it still remains true that the
personnel and achievements Of the city
council leave much to be desired. It
is the deadening blight Of partisan
methods of nominating and electins
aldermen that holds the council back
and prevents 1t from becoming q more
effective agency for the advancement
Of Chicago"

GETS
MORE CLERKS FOR
OFFICE IN ATLANTA

Postmaster Hugh Mckee to-day re-
turned from Washington, where he had
been negotiating with the head of the

get an additional appropriation for
more clerks to help out the present
congested condition at the local office.

after that we will have to get some

1t was understood that Mr. Mckee
was asking for an appropriation of
$40. 900 which would have provided for
about % more clerks per year in the
mailing department.
Since the parcel post went into effect,
the mail has greatly increased at the
Atlanta postoftice. the receipts aver
aging an increase Of $4,000 per month

Softened by Gift Of Unnamed
Florist, Prisoners Join Sob
bingIy in Singing Hymns.

Great armloads of pretty blooms to-
day decorate the dark cells of the in
mates of the Tower. The beautiful
flowers, the gift of an unnamed florist,
are mute testimonial that the Easter
spirit reached behind the steel bars and
stone walls to bring cheer to the lonely
prisoners held by the county and state
as lawbreakers on the day that Christ
rose from the grave.
Three missionaries-Mrs NJ. L. Gull
yer Smith, Rev Chauncey Foote and
Mrs. Foote-distributed the blooms
yesterday. followed by the words of
thanks of the 300 men and women held
in the Tower.
Even Burglars Softened.
-Four burglars, recently arrested, who
gave battle to guards when the officers
attempted to photograph them, de-
clared that ut isn't all hard luck and
slow grind" when some one on the
outside" remembered them in such a
manner.
The quick response to the gifts of
flowers was evidenced in the spirited
religious services held soon after the
jonquils and ferns were distributed.
From tier after tier of cells the pris-
oners Joined in the old time hymns, and
the quavering, chOked voices told bet
ter than words of the heart Joy that the
pretty blossoms had brought home.
Send Thanks to Giver.
Even the distribution of tracts and
Testaments, following the services,
proved successful, said the missionaries
to-day. all because a thoughtful man
had remembered the unfortunates,
doomed to spend their Easter day in
steel cages.
The Jail prisoners asked that their
vote of thanks be extended to the flor
list, whose name they did not know, but
whose heart they said they understood.

CITY WILL AVERT
NEW TRAGEDIES,
SAYS DOCTOR
Atlanta Aroused to Peril by
Death of Clarence Bigby
From Meningitis.

DR.. g. F. Benson declared day that
the lesson in the tragic death of 1T
tie Clarence Bigby, barred from the
hospitals while meningitis Slapped his
life, had been so forcefuly impressed
on Atlanta that similar tragedies would
be averted in the future
Such a regrettable thing is impossi-
bic now in Atlanta. The authorities
and the doctors are reused to the Sit
uation which obtains, and it can not be
tolerated" said DIR. Benson.
Since the facts have become known.
many have commented upon the ne.
cessity of the city providing place in
which cases of cerebro spinal meningi--
tbs may be treated and properly isolat-
ed, although they have depored the
tragedy which appeared necessary to
teach the city this need"
The disease was allowed to run it's
brief and tragic course at the Rescue
Mission. I'm Marietta street, where
scores Of persons were exposed before
the room was guaranteed, and the lad
lay for a week raving in a delirium.
with no care or nursing save that given
by his grief-strici<en mother and by
the physician whose visits necessarily
were short.
IL was after nightfall Saturday that
the sad little group of mourners made
their way out of Westview cemetery
few hours after the disease had taken
it's toll of life. Money contributed by
sympathetic persons at the mission and
in the neighborhood provided the rough
pine box in which the body Of the boy
was placed and bought the lot where
the burial took place.
The family, which was almost penni-
less before the tragedy came upon it. is
in even worse circumstances now. The
father has obtained work, but there are
still large bills TO pay. The furniture.
which was brought from Macon two
weeks ago, is in storage. with S26 due
upon it. For their humble quarters in
the mission. which they took until they
were able to afford renting a small
home, Mr.. and Mrs. Bigby are in debt.
Only through the charity of philan-
thropic organizations has the family
been able to get enough food TO fend
off starvation. The future holds any
thing but a pleasant outlook
