PINNED IN PUDDLE
BY WRECKED AUTO
While Friends Seek to Save Him
Red Oak Man Nearly browns.

Red Oak, Ia, June 9.-One of the
most remarkable of the many auto
mobile accidents in this vicinity oc-
Cured to a party from this city and
resulted in one member being al
most drowned by being pinned UNI
der water by the overturned ma
chine.
The accident occurred about IL
o'clock at night when Henry &.
Geoffry, Miss NJ. Topper and Mr..
and Mrs. F. A. Scott were returning
from a ride into the country. In
turning out for another car the
heavy machine overturned into a
puddle at the side of the road
All the occupants of the car were
carried down and under the water,
but all succeeded in getting out ex-
cept Mr.. Geoffry, who was pinned
beneath the machine.
Mr.. Scott located Mr.. Geoffry I'M
der the water and struggled vainly
to release him, but could not. A
passing auto party responded to
cries for help and in a few minutes
enough people were on hand to lift
the car from the PROSTATE man, who
was slowly being drowned.
Mr.. Geoffry was apparently dead
when taken out. A physician who
had been sent for said that had
there been any hesitation by the
rescuers Mr.. Geoffry would not hare
lived. His lungs we're filled with
muddy water.

ure of the base of the skull. An
operation was performed, but the
case was hopeless.
Miss Dawson was noted for her
daring feats in behalf of militancy.
One of her earliest exploits was to
barricade herself in a cell and she
was subdued only with the aid of
a fire hose. On another occasion she
cast herself down a flight of stairs
in Jail and was seriously injured.
She was one of the most persistent
invaders of the house of commons,
which she gained at one time by
way of the airshaft. Her last ex-
plot before the fatal Epson acct
dent, was the assaulting of Bap-
fist clergyman in the belief that he
was Chancellor Lloyd-George.

OPERATORS ARE BEHIND IT.

Charleston, w. Va, June g.
John P. White, president of the in
ternational organization of the
United Mine Workers of America;
Vice President Frank J. Hayes, and
seventeen officials or subordinate Of
fcers of District No. II, the local
miners union, indicted by the fed
eral grand jury Saturday night
charged with violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, will be sum-
moned to appear before Judge Ben
jamin F. Keller, early this week.
The government, it is stated, will
ask that the trial proceed at once.
The indictments and allegations
that there is a conspiracy in re-
strafnt of trade and commerce be-
tween the United Mine Workers of
America and coal operators Of west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois against the West Virginia
coal operators have caused pro-
found sensation. While the names
of the witnesses, who appeared be-
fore the federal grand jury in the
case, have not been made public, 1t
is known that coal operators OF
Faint and Cabin creek, where labor
troubles have been abundant, and
former officials of the miners organ
ization, assisted in gathering infor-
nation for the Indictment
The defendants are charged with
attempting to create monopoly of
the labor market by fixing prices
and refusing to allow members OF
the organization to work at lower
wages. It is alleged the union pro-
hibits men from working who are
not members Of the Organization
and that the miners officials con-
spired to unionize the coal mines
of West Virginia and to so fix the
cost of producing coal in West Vir-
ginia as to give an advantage to the
producers of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. 1t is
charged the mines in the last four
states are already unionized and the
United Mine Workers of America
control wage scales, and that the
defendants conspired with coal pro-
ducers of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to give
them monopoly of the coal trade
in the great lake region and other
western markets.

FIRST MARTYR TO
SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Emily Dawson, Injured at Derby
Races, Dies-Was Most OAR
ing Of Militants.

London, June emily Wilding
Dawson, the first martyr to the mil
liant efforts of women to obtain
suffrage, died yesterday at the Ep-
som hospital as the result of tract
ure OF the skull sustained in an at
tempt to stop the kings horse, An
mer, during the running of the Der
by on Wednesday last. Only the
matron of the hospital and two
nurses were present at the death
bed.
A few moments before her death
two comrades draped the screen
surrounding the cot with the colors
of the Women's Social and Political
union, which she wore when she
made her sensational attempt to in
terfere with the great classic OF the
British turf.
Miss Dawson had evidently ex-
pected to gain the track at Tatten-
ham Corner in time to intercept and
scatter the field, but was detained a
moment by a spectator who tried
to restrain her. She reached the
track in time to be struck by the
kings horse, which was running in
the ruck.
The woman turned complete
somersault, coming down across the
legs OF Jockey Jones, who had been
left prone and unconscious after the
fall of his mount. She struck on
her head and it was thought at first
that her thick hair had saved her
from more than concussion. but Al

Cosson, at Iowa City, Gives Voca-
tional Training as Best
Weapon.
SOCIAL REFORM IS VITAL
Cites Haley As Example of States
Economic 0pportun-
tiles.

Iowa City, June 9.-"Vocational
training will be a powerful factor
in decreasing the number of white
slaves" said Attorney General
George Cosson of Des Moines in an
address on practical Questions OF
Social Reform" which he gave last
evening before union meeting OF
the: churches held in the Methodist
church under the auspices Of the
Young Mems and Young Women IS
Christian associations of the Univer-
sity of Iowa. DR.. Jennie McCowen
of Davenport also spoke. This meet
ing was a part of the commence
ment programme at the state uni
versity.
'The educated girl who follows
immortality as a profession is rare
exception said Mr.. Cosson. Hence
the Importance and necessity of see
ing that every girl and boy in the
state of Iowa is given an education
which will equip her or him for the
duties of life and this includes an
industrial and vocational training.
Statistics show that large part Of
all persons confined at state insti-
tutions for crime or moral delin-
quency have but little education and
this is especially true of the unfort-
innate girls and women now desig-
mated as white slaves
Mr.. Cosson took up the question
of social reform. He insisted that
in no other branch of state govern
ment were there such opportunities
from an economic standpoint as in
this modern method of dealing with
delinquents, detectives and Grimm
ais. He prapesed ito deal as hons
estly with the criminal as the GRIM
inal is expected to deal with soci-
ety."
To support this statement he told
of the famous Haley case, Wnere a
convict regarded as hopelessly stub
born was induced to go to work.
81 simply dealt with him as a
man." said Mr.. Cosson, in explain
alton of his success. tot
The attorney general brought up
an entirely new point when he rec
commended that if the legislature
could not be induced to purchase a
1000 acre farm for prisoners CEN.
trally located, provision could be
made for draining out one of the
larger lakes Of the state which is so
dry as to render it of no value as
resort for boating or fish
