H. HAMMOND WOULD PACIFY YAQUIS

John Hays Hammond has asked
the Mexican government to permit
him to go, unarmed and accompanied
only by an interpreter, into the
mountainous stronghold Of the Yaqui
Indians in Sonora, to pacify that
turbulent tribe. The government OF
Mexico has fought the Yaquis for
thirty years, but today the Yaquis are
unconquered.
Mr.. Hammond expects that the
Madero government will give him the
permission which he desires. His
program is based on his belief that,
as a result of his life and work in
Mexico, many years ago. the under.
standing between him and the Yaquis
is so thorough as to obviate the risk
of his being injured or killed. Major
Burnham. the famous American and
South African scout and fighter, will
accompany him.
Last July Mr. Hammond wrote to
Senior Calero, the Mexican ambassa.

WOULD EDUCATE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW

To carry knowledge Of scientific
agricultural methods directly to thu
man between the pillow handles, and
thereby increase the agricultural prod
ucts of this country by at least 20
per cent, Senator Hoke Smith in
speech in the senate the other day
urged the passage of the Smith-Lever
bill to establish agricultural extern
sion departments in colleges of agri-
culture
THE annual value Of our agricul-
tural products is, in round figures,
IS, 000,000,000," Senator Smith said.
IF the increase as result of this
work were only 20 per cent we would
have an increased value of $4,000
900, or sufficient sum to meet the
proposed appropriation for 600 years"
Senator Smith pointed to the pas
sage of the Morrill, bill for the estab-
lishment of land grant agricultural
colleges In each Of the states Of the
Union and of the Hatch bill for the
establishment Of an experiment sta

Had Fiuured In History.

A notable character In the person
of a woman, named Mary Hughes,
died the other day at Solva, Wales.
She was one hundred and six years
old. and could not speak word OF
English. One of II children, she had
a brother who lived to be one hundred
and three. Her mother took part in
repelling the French in 1897, when a
force of 1,500 landed In Cardigan bay,
but was at once surrounded by the
local militia, and surrendered.

collisions. On the other roads flag
stops, if the stop is not of the sched-
ule of that particular train, the fig
man is required to go back a suffi-
cient distance and, with a lantern by
night and flag by day, together with
torpedoes or fuses, signal any other
train that is going the same way, and
on the same way.
THE words a sufficient distance,
permit the flagman to use his own
judgment, and the phrase is found
in the rules of a great many rail
roads, big ones as well as little ones.
There are roads, however, which di-
rect that fiagman shall go back to
the fifteenth or twenty-fourth tele-
graph pole from the last car of his
train. Whether he goes a sufficient
distance in his opinion, or for speci-
fled distance, measured by poles, he is
to stop any train that jeopardizes his
own. When his train is ready to
move, the engineer signals him in
with a whistle and then he sprints
over the ties as fast as he can, leav-
ing, it is supposed, one or two torpe-
does on the rails behind.
The flagman, the engineer and the
conductor are in hurry. Time is so
precious with them that every fraction
of minute counts. The farther the
t1agman walks away from his train,
the farther he will have to run when
he returns. He is a human being
like the rest of US. Maybe the sun is
pretty hot. Perhaps it is a cold or
rainy night. And a sufficient dis
lance gives him latitude in a matter
of life and death! Many a flagman has
wrecked a train.
THE flagman of the Overland Elk
press, on the Chicago, Burlington 4
Quincy railroad was to blame, pri-
marily, for the accident at Western
Springs, ILL.,, on the 14th of last July.
The train was stopped by signal early
during the morning in fog. 1t was
being followed by the fast mail. The
trains, so our investigation showed
were about nine minutes apart The
fagman. at the official hearing of the
case, said that he went back as far
as he could and that he ran part OF
the way. He put down two torpedoes
1900 feet from the rear end of his
own train On his way back the fast
mail passed him at fifty miles an
hour, and a moment later ran into the
Overland Express, which had not be-
gun to move, killing II passengers and
two employees and injuring 26 pessen
gers and two employees.
The trains, remember, had beer
about nine minutes apart. In test
after the accident, it was found that
a flagman, at brisk walk, could have
gone back 1927 feet in six minutes
1t was learned, also that the fiagmar
of the Overland Express put TWO tor
pedoes on the rail, which was simply
cautionary signal, whereas he should
have used but one torpedo, which
would have been a signal for the fast
mail train to stop,
