Woman Deaf-Mute Takes Trip on Loco
motive Pilot from Buffalo to Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Dec. 2.-When a
Lake Shore passenger train reached
the Union depot at Ii o'clock last
night, Patrolman Watson saw a
woman clinging to the locomotive
pilot. She was nearly unconscious
from exposure and terror. The po-
lice believe that the woman had rid
den on the pilot all the way from
Buffalo. The average speed of the
train was forty miles an hour. The
distance Is about $50 miles.
The woman was taken to the police
station, where it was discovered that
she was a deaf mute. The police, by
using the sign language, learned that
she was Laura Evans, twenty seven
years old, and homeless. The woman
was still dazed today. In the sign
language she said: "Yes, l think l
did ride on the engine, but don't re-
member much"
Police Judge Beebe sentenced the
woman to a fine of s25 and thirty days
Imprisonment for violation of the rail-
road law, but he at once placed her
on probation.
why did you come to Cleveland
the probation officer asked the woman.
ITO get a job. I was desperate,
she answered in sign.

-Four Halrpins Aid in Delicate Surgical
Operation.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 2.-Four hair
pins, in lieu of a silver tube, saved
the life of Blanche Bost, aged tif-
teen, of 907 Copeland avenue, North
Rraddock, when two physicians, as
a last desperate resort made an in
cision in her throat after she had
ceased breathing, and to all ap-
pearances was dead.
Early last week the girl developed
signs of ouinsy. On discovering the
stage the disease had reached, DR..
Metzgar said the child was beyond
human aid, but that an operation
could be performed to lessen her SUI
fering, as she was slowly strangling.
Realizing the necessity of immed-
late action, and fearing to delay
until they could secure a silver tube,
the doctors made an incision In the
child's throat, and DR.. Metzgar heiu
the cut open with four hairpins while
DR.. Blair rushed to his office, where
he procured the tube.

For Teachers All Arranoene
Made for School at Ada.

Ada, Okla, Aug. 1.-THE East Cen.
tral State Normal of this CITY,. in ac-
cOrdance with the suggestions of
State Superintendent Wilson, has
completed all arrangements for the
establishment of rural training
school for such teachers as expect to
engage In rural school work. The
Colbert School, two miles north of
the city. has been chosen for the
work. The district will at once erect
a new three-room building, built along
modern lines. Two OF the rooms
will be utilized for recitation purpcs-
es and the third for manual training
and domestic art Three additional
acres of ground have been purchased
for demonstration purposes in agri-
culture.
The course of study will be a rad
ical departure from the traditional
course. Instead OF lessons from text
books entirely, much Of the work will
be woven around the activities of the
community.
Perhaps the greatest feature Of this
new departure and one that newt
ably will blaze the way for greater
efficiency in all lines of school work
is the scheme being worked out TO
make a complete survey of the life
of the community-relig soc
tally, educationally and financially.
A religious survey such as contem-
plated would include every person
in the district, their church affiliation
etc. Socially it would mean the
members of all societies-seeret and
otherwise. Financially it would mean
a complete census of the wealth and
productive facilities of the commun-
ity from the marketing of eggs TO
the sale of land and thereby would be
the base OF he work of the school
in the subject of mathematics. Such |
a survey would bring out prominently |
the glaring defects of the rural life |
OF that community and the remedy
TO apply to make the rural life more |
pleasant and the farm lands become

the suspects were held, the chief fool
ed them by informing them that the
negroes thought to have done the
shooting, had been remove in an auto
mobile 10 Tulsa under cover of night,
and that those remaining at Sapulpa
were merely witnesses.
Bourne, AZ years OF age, was shot
and mortally wounded late Sunday
night, when he offered resistance to
three negroes, two men and woman,
who held him up at the point of pis-
tolls. When he showed fight, one OF
the negroes shot him twice. The ne
groes then took $40 in cash and a val
liable gold watch from Bourne's pock-
cts, leaving him in the street. Bourne
was conscious when found and gave
a good description OF his assalants.
He was rushed to Tulsa in an ambu-
lance and at first was thought had a
chance to recover, but at 9 o'clock on
Monday he died
Immediately after the shooting be-
came known in Sapulpa, the police
threw a dragnet and wholesale ar
rests resulted A score of negroes were
picked up during the night, and four
teen were still held at noon. After
the mob had been fooled away by the
police, all but six of the negroes were
released. Four are detained as wit
nesses. LOui Hicks, gingerbread ne
gro, % years old, and Ruby Mayes,
mulatto negroess, 20, are the ones the
police are holding in particular The
woman, who admits having seen the
holdup and shooting, positively iden-
tilted Hicks as the man who fired the
two shots striking Bourne. She claims
she was passing by at the time and
was attracted by the shots. She says
she saw Hicks, with a smoking revol-
yer in his hand, run in one direction
after Bourne fell, while his two com
panions went down another street.
A white woman and her daughter,
who claim to also have witnessed the
shooting, also identified Hicks as the
slayer. They could not say whether
any of the other suspects were with
him. Sapulpa quieted down late Mon
day afternoon and Chief Jones says
he did not fear mob violence during
the night. He declared however, that
feeling was 50 high that the mob
might again gather Tuesday morning
after it was learned two of the three
wanted negroes We're held. The chief
indicated that the woman, Mayes. to-
gether with Hicks, probably would be
spirited to Tulsa during the night.
The body of Bourne will be inferred
in Oaklawn cemetery, Tulsa, Tuesday
afternoon. One of the last wishes the
victim expressed was that his body
be buried here instead of being taken
to Sapulpa. Many people from Sapul-
pa are expected to be here To attend
the funeral services.

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD.
New Banking System Expected in
Operation BY October.


Washington, Aug. 10-The federal
reserve board, entrusted with control
of the great banking system created
by the new currency law actually
came into existence Monday when the
five members appointed by President
Wilson took the oath Of office at the
treasury department. Plans for TAX.
ing over the system set up by the
organization committee and opening
the reserve banks for business within
the next few weeks already are un.
der way. though the first formal meet
ing of the board will not be held
until Thursday.
Charles S. Hamlin, governor: F. A.
Delano, vice governor; Paul NJ War
burg. W. p. Garding. and Adolph c.
Miller, with Secretary McAdoo and
John Shelton Williams, comptroller
of the currency, as ex-offcio members,
compose the board.
The members were shown in and
handed their commissions without
great formality. Secretary McAdoo
made a brief address, to which Gov
ernor Hamlin replied.
THE importance of the federal re.
serve board is not fully realized"
Mr.. McAdoo said. 1T is our duty to
make it understood and to get these
banks into effective operation at the
earliest possible moment.
Il feel that by cooperation we are
going to be able TO make this system
in short time a bulwark against
financial disasters, the basis for COM
mercial development at home and
for the expansion of commerce
abroad. The banks certainly can be
organized by the first of October and
sooner. and that is a confronting
thought, considering the difficulties
and the work that has to be done"

ARE WE EQUIPPED TO MEET THE
EMERGENCY

EMERGENCY?
The back-to-the-farm movement is
q reality. The high prices of food
Etuffs, the prospects for profits on
the farm, makes agriculture look at
tractiye and every acre of land that is
in cultivation in this country will be
under the plow next year, and the
prospects are that many more acres
will be put in a state OF cultivation.
Some material advances in food
EtuRs were reported Sunday and more
advances have been made. Yesterday
and today flour jumped up zoe on the
barrel sugar has advanced soc more,
making the total advance Sl60 on the
l0O pounds. Sugarcured stuff in
meat products has advanced one-half
a cent pound since last Saturday,
and there has been 25c advance in
dry salt pork. Syrups are up 2jc a
case.
This country has raised all it can
consume, and more too. There is no
scarcity, but the advances are due
10 the war scare. II the war con
tinues, II millions o. men are made
professional killers, and taken from
the Industrial pursuits they must be
fed chiefly from the granarics OF
America and those who hold meats
and sugar and lard have taken adyan-
tage OF the situation 10 raise the
price now In advance, and are reaping
harvest from the pockets Of the
people OF their own country.
With millions OF bushels Of wheat,
with Galveston packed and jammed
with cars filed with food stufrs so
that IL would require a month to clear
the side tracks in that city, flour Is
advancing az rapid rate. Not in
many years has there been such a
congestion of food stuffs at the whary
es of this country. Farmers are
buying extra bins for wheat, but at
that flour is soaring higher.
Prospects are good that these pr.
ces will continue during the Euro
pean war and whether that war will
last three months or three years no
one can tell.
The only Offset that America has
is to put more men on the farms.
There is room for millions more of
men in the agricultural pursuit There
IL said to be both a scarcity OF hogs
and cattle in this country and it is
doubtful if our resources can take
care of the situation.
1t has not been but a few months
since the federal government was ap-
pealing TO farmers in the southern
states TO desist selling their cattle.
The farmers replied that they wanted
a better grade Of stun and the govern.
ment answered that there was a
dearth Of better grades OF cattle and
that farmers would be disappointed
~hen they began to re-stock their
farms.
The emergency is probably here,
and America is not well equipped to
meet II. If we can meet the situa-
sion, the European war will make the
farmers Of this country rich
But in the meantime, the wage
.arners of our own country must suf-
fer for the sins Of others. II IS bur.
densome upon this class TO be forced
10 meet the emergency which has
raised the price of almost everything
that goes on the table.
