NO CALL YET FOR
DEPOT COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN DISNEY THINKS NO
OCCASION FOR HURRY
ON REPORT.

Chairman Disney has not yet called
the special council committee on
union station, but 1t il believed ne
VIII some time next week.
The delay in the meeting is due to
the fact that the railroad people wish
to confer and to consider the mat
ter fully before reaching any deter
mination themselves.
The committee, 1t was said by
member. did not desire to interfere
with extensive plans and arrange
rnents which may have been made or
considered by the railroad officials.
Citizens and organizations in both
sections of the city have appeared
before the committee. some for
union station in the West End. others
for a union station on the Main street
site. The committee. said one of
them, hopes these citizens and organ
izations may, also, reach some agree
mert.
President white, of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad
company, stated to the committee
that his company, in conjunction
with the Coast Line and Washington
Southern had already made plans for
a new station on Broad street, on
the site Of the old fair grounds. to
cost 5000, 600.
The fact that the Chesapeake and
Ohio had reduced its dividends, be-
cause OF great falling off in business,
and enormous losses during the West
ern foods causes that company to
demur in going into the West-End at
this time.
With these things In mind Chair
man Disney believes there Is no spe-
cial reason for hurry in making
report to council.

til Sunday, two days afterwards.
The parents did not call In a doc

after this accident. The trouble had
reached such an acute stage then that
she was at once taken to the hos

The pension fund idea was con-

vention was the rector OF the largest
Episcopal church in Los Angeles, and
WHO later resigned his charge there to
bebme general secretary of the fund
and to give his time to directing the
work. That he has been successful in
interesting the wealthy people in the
movement is shown by the fact that
fourtifths OF the big sum already is
pledged.
The committee, In order to quickly
close the campaign for the fund has
decided on making the appeal to the
membership of"the church. and II ex-
poets to be successful in securing the
remainder Of the pension fund by Ocro
Der. The arly response to the appeal
Is said to be gratifying.
The pension fund is regarded as a
very necessary thing in the Episcopal
church. its clergymen being unable to
lay aside something from the pay they
receive for a rainy day." because OF
the steadily Increasing cost OF living
and the continued low salaries. While
the cost of living has scared In the
last several years. making it more and
more difficult for the minister to pro-
vide as he should for his family and to
properly educate his children, his
salary has remained the same.

Two Out of 10000 Hurt.
During the past summer upwards OF
forty thousand children and grown ups
have visited the playground, and we
have had only two accidents, while the
director was on the grounds and both
of these were due to dfSobedlence on
the part of the victims. A complete
account of every accident Is kept by
the director which may be seen at any
time I would like for. DR.. Taylor to
compare these statistics with the acct
dents occurring on the streets.
MY assistants and myself use every
precaution to prevent accidents. and
keep strict watch over every child on
the grounds. We attend every child
who is hurt, and render all the assis-
lance possible, which will be attested
to by the children on the grounds. !

that 1t was due to disobedience on the

to the cause of her death, and was told
by the authorities that she died from

FORM LIFESAVlNG CLUB
Princeton Students Band for
Betterment of Aquatics.

Princeton, y. j., Dec IA life saving
club is the latest organization to spring
up I'm Princeton's collegiate circles, and
as a distinct innovation II IS attracting
much attention College aquatics never
have known or attempted so thorough an
organization along these lines as Is being
planned here by the Department Of Phys
iCal Education.
The idea Of the club originated strange
~ enough in the Young Mems Christian
Association, known at Princeton as the
Philadelphia Society, for through it po-
sitions are secured for several undergrad
yates every year as cour cilors and assist
ants in boys camps for the summer
months and the need OF n more secure
knowledge Of swimming and lifesaving
has been impressed upon the officers year
after year.
Optional instruction In the fundamentals
of lifesaving has been given for several
years by Frank Sullivan, the swimming
coach, but no popular organization was
conceived until the Department of Phys
teal Education Of the university took up
the idea. All Princeton men whether un-
dergraduate, graduate or faculty will be
eligible. Fifty inquiries have already been
filed with Mr.. Sullivan and the club Is
expected to start with an enthusiasm that
will assure success.
