RAILROADS IN GERMANY.
No Danger Of Train Starting Until

No Danger Of Train Starting Until
Everything Is "Ready."
A returned traveller who spent much
of his time In Germany drifted into
the observation of railroading In the
empire. He rode the most on local
trains. though not having set pur-
pose. and proceeded only for short dis
tances.
On one of these vagrant trips he had
surrendered his ticket and had nothing
on his mind but his destination when
the conductor came and said:
Extra fare. please"
"Why? demanded the experienced
vOyager.
Because" answered the conductor.
1--WE have cut out five stops and the
train Is now an express"
The recollection Of the writer runs
back to the time when as small boy
he first beheld the start Of a German
railroad train. The impression is self
evidently vivid to have lasted 50 hong
First there was prOdigOus pow

and the porters. who argued excitedly
over the disposal of trunks Every
thing awaited the conclusion Of their
jabbering and the loading Of the car.
Nobody else seemed animated or even
concerned The conductor looked on
stoically. and the engineer phlegmati-
cally talked to q bystander on the plat
form.
The last trunk In. the baggage smash

guards stationed themselves alongside
at intervals. All eyes were on the en-

posed himself on his seat In n leisurely
way and protruded his head from the
window.
"Fertig?" he inquired OF the first
guard. who turned to the second also
to ask "fertig?" This was repeated
along to the last car. where the sigma
system doubled on its trail 1t having
been ascertained that everything wa,
'fertig." the Information was relayec
to the engineer. who nodded solemnly
and turned to his seat. A bell tinkled
the crossing gates (numerOusly manned
to prevent suicide, arose. al the train

Who in person led the victorious forces
In the Battle of the Thames.


In the Battle of the Thames.
lore Perry a special attraction in the
Louisville celebration will be the re-
union Of the Perry family, regardless
Of kinship. Everybody by the name
Of Perry" will be invited to this spe-
cial entertainment and those who ex-
pect to attend are requested to notify
Edwin Perry at the Louisville head
quarters.
The Kentucky Association, which
has in charge the Louisville celebra-
ton, has given an order for quarter
of million ancestry certificates to be
handsomely engaved, and which will
be filled in and given away as souve-
Mrs TO descendants of Kentucky SOL
diers and sailors of the War of 1912.
Another entertainment in their hon.
or will be a mammoth reception, at
which refreshments will be served and
opportunity provided for public ad-
dresses. For the few remaining actual
given. A great ball will be given in
the First Regiment Armory, which has
a capacity of 10000 for them.
Forty per cent of the white male
population Of Kentucky engaged in the
War of 1872, consequently forty per
cent Of the succeeding generation were
really sons and daughters of that war,
and, estimating that one-half of them
| intermarried with families which did
not participate in the war, sixty per
cent Of the third generation were
grandchildren Of the war, and in SIM
liar manner at least seventy-five per
cent and probably as high as ninety
per cent of the fourth and incoming
| fifth generations are descendants Of
Kentuckians who fought in that war.
1t is estimated that in the state Of
Kentucky alone one million men, wom-
en- and children are eligible to partici-
pate in the proposed reunion, and 1t
is estimated that another million now
living outside of Kentucky are eligible
to participate.
| During the week of the celebration
in Louisville spectacular free events,
i Oh
scale not heretofore given with any
American celebration, will be provided
every afternoon and evening. Pilgrim.
ages to notable historic scenes of in.
terest may be made in the mornings.
In addition to free attractions there
will be scores of the highest priced
amusement concessions that can be Sc
cured on the American continent.
The railroads in a radius of 500
miles of Louisville have been asked
to make a rate for the celebration
week and Immediately preceding and
following that week of one cent mile
Railroads running out Of Louisville
probably will give low rates to otheI
points in Kentucky, SO that former
Kentuckians who live a great distance
can visit their old homes as well al
attend the Louisville celebration.
Local committees are preparing al
1912 museum, In which they solicit the
loan of any souvenir or relic Of the
War of 1912, providing the transpor
tation at their expense. and guaran
teeing that articles loaned for thu
week will be returned to owners. Thii
museum for the time being will un
doubtedly be the most valuable collec
ton In America.

FIND 20 WOUNDS IN BODY
Police Puzzled by Death of
Lonely Ledger.

Joseph Keys. forty-fve years old was
found dead with more than twenty-five
knife wounds In his body, I'm his room at
No. 5s5 Third avenue. late yesterday
afternoon. Whether death was self-in-
ficted or whether the man was killed has
not yet been determined by the author
tiles.
According to Or. Russell. OF Bellevue
Hospital. the man had been dead about
ten hours when his body was found. His
throat was cut and his right wrist was
slashed either wound being sufficient in
itself 10 cause death. There were also
more than twenty knife wounds OF vary
ing depths I'm his breast inflicted with a
jackknfe with a three-inch blade which
was found beside the body The door Of
the room was locked.
Keys had occupied the room for more
known OF his life. He was i'm the habit
OF leaving his room in the afternoon and
returning in the early morning, and was
heard TO come in about o'clock Thurs
day morning. The suicide theory is sup
ported by the discovery OF only - cents
among the mans possessions. although
the discovery by Michael Toohey. the
landlord of strange man apparently
sleeping in the hall outside Keys's room
early yesterday morning may have had
to do with his death. according

BENJAMIN on February is. the day the

cffer for the turtle germ cure.
This was the statement made by DR..
BENJAMIN last night in explaining a suit
he has brought against the turtle germ
discoverer for an accounting Of DR.. Fried
mann's profits" both for fees received
and for payments made or contracted for
by Mr.. Eisner the drug merchant, who
bought the American rights 10 the cure"
Or. Benjamin alleges Or. Friedman
had told him that one Of his purposes in
coming to the United states was 10 make
money. and that he (tne PLAINTIFF was TO
share I'm the profits.
Or. Benjamin said he hoped that even
IL he were unable 10 establish his claim
for a share. which he did not expect would
be more than 2ia per cent Of DR.. Fried
mann's earnings, HIS suit would reveal the
extent 10 which the turtle cure had been
commercialized.
At the Friedman Institute a different
view prevails. DR.. Friedmanns press
agent sent the following summary 10 the
newspaper Offices last night:
DIR Harry Benjamin. who has filed n
suit against Dr. Friedman for a share of
profits as a newspaper headline has il,
