NEWARK MEN '
co TO BUFFALO
Represent Delaware At Inter
national Conference

DR.. G. A. Harter and DR.. r. G.
Reed left Monday for Buffalo to at
tend the fourth international con-
gress of School Hygiene, August
25-3O, having been appointed to
represent Delaware by Governor
Miller.
The discussions will get back to
the elemental Importance Of a
sound body as fundamental for
sound mental training. Practical
ly all the leading nations of the
world will be represented, and they
are cooperating in an effort to find
just what conditions are good for
the child and how to eliminate
those which are injurious.
This will be the fourth gathering
of experts to be held, the former
meetings having been held IN
Nuremberg in 1906, in London in
1908 and in Paris, 1910. The eX-
hibits will form the most illumin-
ating feature Of the conference.
These will include the different na-
tional types of school buildings,
systems Of ventilating and heating,
lighting, plumbing, etc. The Unit
ed States Bureau Of Education will
be an exhibitor. One Of it's most in
teresting exhibits will be collec,
ton of recent literature upon
school hygiene which has been pub
lished in many countries. A col.
lection Of photographs of schoo
buildings taken in various states
will be shown. Some Of these pie
lures are of the pioneer shcools anc
are very valuable, illustrating as
they do, the progress that has beer
made in the physical environment
Of the children in school today.

er should not be forced to graft or
quit the market.
In reply to his opinion on 2
o'clock as the hour for closing the
market he said he thought it was
foolish to close at that hour and in
so doing Wilmington residents
would suffer more.
Many working men do not get
paid until Saturday noon. They
do their marketing after that time
The farmer after l o'clock begins
to drop his prices rather than re-
turn home with perishable goods.
At this time of the day is when the
real bargains are given to the work
ing man.
The sum of Mr.. McMullin s ar
gument was this:
That the farmers of Delaware
have no desire to discriminate
against farmers from other states
but he asks that Wilmington will
make conditions such that a Della
ware farmer can get a stand and al
the same time KEEP his self respect
That's the question for Whining,
ton to decide.

FATAL FIGHT OCCURS
NEAR CASCADE TUNNEL
VIM. Hurst Arrested Here Tuesday for
Murder Committed at Tye-CIaims
Self Defense

VIM. Hurst, who faces a murder
charge was lodged in the city Jail here
early Tuesday morning by Great North
ern Detective Shellcross. The killing
which took place at Tye, near Cascade
tunnel, was a stabbing ARRAY between
two workmen who are employed on
the railroad construction work near
that place. Hurst claims that he killed
his opponent, Thomas Brannon, in
self defense.
From all accounts it appears that
thd two men had been occupying a
shack together for sometime and were
on the best of terms until Monday
morning when they fell out over some
minor differences. Following the
quarrel, according to Hurst, Brannon
hunted up a friend, and after the two
men had loaded up on booze they pro-
ceeded to follow him about and tor
ment him. After it had kept up for
several hours, Hurst said he could
stand it no longer, whereupon he at
tackled Brannon with the intention of
giving him a good beating. The lat
tiers friend seeing that his partner was
getting the worst of the mixup, took a
hand in the fight, and here it is said
Hurst used his knife, slashing Bran
mons jugular vein, from which cut the
man died few minutes later. Pas
senger No. 3, east bound pulled into
the station shortly after the stabbing,
and as Detective Shellcross happened
to be on the train he was asked to
place the man under arrest. The de-
tective being unable to stop off here
wired Chief of Police Bohnsack and
on the arrival OF the train in this city
the prisoner was taken in charge by
the local official. AS the alleged MUIR
der took place in King county the
prisoner was turned over to the au-
thorities there. Deputy Sheriff Ham
bin arrived here Tuesday afternoon on
No. a from Seattle and returned to the
coast with Hurst on No. 43.

CANDIDATES MUST FILE
THEIR ELECTION EXPENSES
Only Four Have Thus far Complied With
the Law-EIeCtiOn Costs City
$50

City Attorney S. A. Potter yester-
day began issuing pay checks TO the
IS inspectors, judges and clerks en-
ployed in the city election last week.
Each receives Sc per day at the
rate of So for each eight hours and
the total reaches 500. Mr.. Potter
states that the cost of the election will
be about $3.50 when all the bills have
been paid.
One point which the clerk wishes to
bring to the attention of the public,
but more especially to the candidates
is the fact that the law requires every
candidate to file his campaign expense
account inside of ten days after the
election. Thus far only four have
complied with this law They were
all successful in the race and this is
what it cost them.
: DR.. A. G. McKeown, $10.25.
John Koerner, $11.50.
E. H. Fox, $1,000.
S. A. Potter, $1,000.
According to the law to-day is the
last day for filing expense accounts.
Those failing to comply with the sta
tute may be liable to a fine.

has been for the last three years is well
recommended and has some strong

in all probability he will open a perma-

PASSENGER TRAIN is
( SAVED BY TWO TRAMPS
Discover Broken Rail and Stop Heavily
Loaded Passenger Train-COmpany
Will Reward the Two Men

VIM. Jales and ]. D. Campbell,
two tramps, plodding their weary way
westward on the Great Northern tracks,
probably saved score of lives and the
railroad company many thousands of
dollars last Friday noon when they dis
covered broken rail near Monitor,
fifteen miles east of this city. Neither
of the men having any idea when the
next train was due, and knowing that
horrible accident would occur if no
warning was given, decided to sit
down and wait for the approach OF the
next train. Their wait was not long
however for a few minutes later No.
with seven coaches OF human
freight hove into sight about half
mile down the track. With this both
men raced madly down toward the ap-
preaching train waving their coats in
front of them. To engineer Ed An
derson pulling the passenger it was
puzzle, the track ahead of him seemed
in perfect condition and why did these
men want to stop his train which was
already running behind time.
Were they train robbers? No, that
was unreasonable to believe, they
wouldn't use those methods of stop
ping a train if robbery was their in
tent. After summing everything up,
which was in remarkably short space
Of time he could come to only one
conclusion, and that was that some
thing was wrong. He quickly ap-
piled the air. and when the stop was
made found himself within fifty feet of
the broken rail. Those who were
present shortly after the train came to
standstill will say that they never in
all their life saw more grateful man
than Engineer Anderson. The place
where the accident would have oc-
CURED was on a slight curve, and at
the rate the train was travelling, about
40 miles an hour, it is safe to say that
there would not have been a coach
left on the track had it struck the de-
fective rail. There was slight en-
bankment below the track which would
have added to the horror as many Of
the coaches would have turned over
several times.
Jales and Campbell who recently
left Canada told railroad officials that
they were out OF work and would be
perfectly satisfied if given job. Both
men were put to work with bridge
crew near Wenatchee. 1t is also stated
that the railroad company will give
them a substantial check in addition to
the salary they will receive.
This is the second time in the last
three weeks that Engineer Ed Ander-
son has narrowly escaped death. Dur
ing the slide in the mountains, three
weeks ago when the trains were be-
ing detoured over the S. P. & S. Ry.
disastrous wreck occurred at Waukee
where the engineer and fireman were
both killed. Mr.. Anderson had been
Called to take the train out, but thru a
mistake was fifteen or twenty minutes
late. Before going on his engine he
had gone into the dining car to get
something to eat, and while there the
fatal crash occurred. His fireman who
had boarded the engine was killed
when the locomotive leaped off of
trestle so feet in the air.
Mr. Anderson has come to the con-
clusion that ne has charmed life.
