W1nd-borne on the blast of a mid

FORMER FRIENDS FIGHT;
ONE KILLS THE OTHER
Sir Donald Mann Carries Dying
Man to Winnipeg on Spe-
cial Train.

WINNIPEG. July 81 Sir Donald Mann,
president Of the Canadian Northern rail
way, brought into Winnipeg last night
the body of Fl. E. Whelhams, a real
estate broker and insurance agent of
Verign. Sask. who, it is charged, was
sho. and beaten with the barrel of a
gun yesterday by James u. Walters, a
merchant and justice of the peace.
The two men had been friends for some
time. Whelhams was returning to town
from a trip. 1t is alleged. when Walters
waylaid him and shot him in the alb
domen. Whelhams grappled with Wal
tiers and the latter struck him on the
head with the barrel of his gun, accord
ing to the authorities.
Sir Donald Mann's private train came
along, and, at his invitation, Whelhams
was placed aboard. The train to Winni-
peg covered the distance at an average
speed of fifty-nine miles an hour. but
the injured man died just after reach

Cites Huge Death Toll.

Mr. Peabody told his auditors that hun
dreds of persons were killed yearly
throughout the large cities of this coun-
try as a result of avoidable street acct
dents He urged every boy and girl to
cooperate in the movement to make the
city streets safe.
A. j. Driscoll, chairman of the statis-
ties committee of the association, made
brief address, in which he told or various
kinds of work which was being done to
minimize street accidents in other large
cities and pointed out the need for similar
work here. He also spoke of the large
number of people killed and injured year
ly in this country by street accidents.
Miss Estelle Murray recited two poems.
One of them, AT Set OF Sun, was sent
to The Star at the beginning of the street
safety campaign by woman VINO was

ton for membership in the Street safety
AssociatSn-MrS. NJ Isabella Banks.

Despite the fact that the storm yester-
day temporarily cut off the current by
which many of the attractions at Glen
Echo Park are run, and although enough
of the storm struck the grounds to soak
the grounds, the 500 or 1000 boys and
girls who were at the amusement park
celebrating street safety day had
good time. The edge of the storm struck
the place and checked the happiness of
the youngsters for only short time.
Every car that reached the park before
the storm was loaded with children armed
with the free amusement coupons. and as
soon as they got in they tried the ferris
wheel, the gravity railroad and the flying
horses. For none of the attractions did
they have to pay, for they were the joint
guests of the Street Safety Association
of the District, the Glen Echo Park Com
pany and The Star.
When the storm came up all the out-of-
door amusements were stopped but the
midway, where the humping slides and
numerous other funmakers reiSned su-
preme in popularity.

STREET DROPS TEN FEET
INTO QUlCKSAND CAVE
Ten Thousand Square Feet GO Down
at Lockport, N. Y, Man
Narrowly Escaping.

LOCKPORT, y. Y, July 31.-Contrac-
tors are battling with a strange condition
in Cave street near East avenue today.
The whole center of the street has drop
ped ten feet. The street surface mad
evidently been nothing but a crust for
some time. After heavy street roller
passed over it the shell gave way and a
section covering 10000 square feet went
down.
The street got its name originally from
a natural cave which old timers say ran
into the earth at this point. 1t was
thought that the cave-in was due to this.
but investigation showed quicksand which
had been washed away by the leakage
from the sewers. leaving nothing to the
street but a surface about two feet in
thickness.
When the cave-in occurred one of the
workmen was caught in the quicksand
and started to go down gradually when
he was rescued.

Kildies Have Fine Fun.

To judge by the grins and the shouts
of laughter, the children had most en-
joyable time. They ran from one at
traction to the other and tried out every
source of amusement the resort could
furnish.
Manager L. B. Schloss made the chill
dren take turn on the attractions so That
all would have a chance. AT 4:3O O'Clock
every one in the park was asked TO go
to the auditorium, where formal exer-
cises were to mark the day. Because OF
the storm some of the persons who were
to have taken part in the performance
were unable TO get to the park. short
program was given, however, with the
aid of those who had arrived before the
storm
President William F. Peabody, who pre-
sided, explained to the boys and girls
and the adults who accompanied some
of them that the object of the Street
Safety Association was to prevent acct
dents on the city streets. This, he SAID.
