room in an apartment on the fourth
floor. Her son accompanied her. Mir.
Smith had told her that she must come,
as he had something Of the greatest
importance to tell her. He refused to
say what il was until the boy and the
woman had entered his room. lie then
locked the door.
"Gertrudc," he said, you know I'm
Gying. love YOU and the boy. | dont
want TO leave YOU behind me-

pulled out gun. hut as he did SO it
became entangled in his watch chain.
The boy had been on the alert and,
as his stepfather fumbled with the
chain. George seized the revolver and
succeeded i'm thrusting his finger In
front Of the hammer so that the car
fridge could not be fred
Smith was a big man, but tuber-
culosis had weakened him. and he could
not shake off the boys grip on the re-

was making 10 save her.
At last. in the rough and tumble be

letting go his hold with one hand he
turned the key and swung the door
open. BY this time his stepfather was
so exhausted by the struggle that the
contestants we're on an equal basis, ana
the boy was able TO hold the man back
from the door while Mrs Smith, reused
by the repeated entreaties OF her son,
lied out of the room.
Alone with his opponent George
found him ore tractable. Smith at
last agreed, or pretended to agree, that
his suicidal mania was just passing
madness He put the revolver in his
pocket and told the boy TO go and bring
back Mrs. Smith. so that he might az
tempt 10 make his peace with ner.
George ran down the stairs and met his
mother hurrying up with Patrolman

Reinstatement of Two
Dropped Employees.
u. S. REPRESENTATIVE
THE INTERMEDIARY
q. W. w. Hanger, Of Federal
Board Of Mediation, Gets
Agreement.

Albany. Jan 19.-Aftor about twelve
hours of practically complete suspcn-
sion OF train service on the Delaware
& Hudson Railway, the strike OF J.rO
employees of the road came TO an end
tonight. through federal intervention.
The men won.
The only demand Of the strikers was
that two discharged employees. james
\. Lynch. an engineer. and +. A.
Sladc. conductor. bc restored to their
former positions. This was granted.
All strikers will return to duty at once.
G. W. W. Hanger. a member IF the
Federal Board Of Mediation and Con-
citation brought about the agreement.
The settlement was reached only after
Mr. Hanger had suggested to the COM
pany officials that they Yield TO me
demands Of the mon. Arbitration he
declared. was impossible
As soon as Clifford :. Sims, vice
president and general manager oil the
railway. and the union officials, had
signed the agreement. orders were sent
ont for the mon to report for work as
quickly as possible. Many crews that
had been tied up at terminal points
were notified by telegraph TO resume
their runs without reporting here.
\ Jew minor matters still remain un-
settled but these viii he adjusted at
tho couvenic. .,ce of the union and rail-
way officials. They have 10 do with
the cases Of other discharged employees
but they did not enter into the STRIKE
proper. Union officials agreed carly
in the day that when the cases oi Sladc
and Lynch were disposed Of the strikers
would return to work
Slade and Lynch were discharged
more than a year ago when car on
their train. running on the Susquc-
hanna division, jumped the track ana
bumped along the ties for three ana
% half miles. The men were discharged
on the ground that they were Negligent
and had violated company rule ana
caused much damage to property. The
union officials replied that the accl-
don't was unavoidable and that no Sc
rious damage was done.
II was less than two hours after the
l,et striker had left his work that Mr.
Hanger arrived here and began nego-
tations with the two sides Accom-
nanving him from New York was Mr..
Sims. He agreed Immediately to an
% arhitration Of the differences, and Mr..
Hanger approached tie union officials
With this in view.
They were firm in their demands,
however. and told Mr.. Hanger that 1t
was useless to talk arbitration with
trefn Then he began a series of trips be-
,uecn railway officials and the men.
Three times he met each side separate
~ and three times from each side he
received the same reply-the unions
demanding the reinstatement of the
cmnlovcs and Mr.. Sims holding out for
arbitration.
Then Hanger returned 10 confer with
union leaders, and within an hour he
decided arbitration was impossible So
bc drew up am agreement granting the
demands. again went to Mr. Sims
oaico obtained his signature, and the
strike was officially declared off few
minutes later.

FL Paso Tex, Jan. 19.-Famine is

mothers are begging travellers TO take
their babies to keep them from starv-

Returning to-day from trip through

Constitutionalist Hospital in Juarez,
and long resident Of FL Paso, tells
story Of horror and suffering, which
rivals any OF the stories Of famine

There is no food in the State Of
Sinaloa," said Dr. Triolo tonight. by

mass of the people; in some Of the
towns there is still little foodstuff.

exorbitant prices that none but the
very rich in money can buy 1t.

All Business Suspended.

Because Of the revolution all means
of communication with the interior
have been destroyed. No railroads are
operating in all the state, according 10
Dr Triolo. and wagon roads are not
used because OF the bandits and the
warning forces. which make travel by
civilians dangerous. In the towns all
business has ceased and the people
have given up attempts to work and
make money. for there Is nothing the
money can buy which will do whai
they most wisn, give them food
"The people of Sinaloa are in no
worse shape than the people or other
parts OF Mexico said DR. Triolo, and
This is saving a good deal, for ! know
that there is starvation in many parts
of the republic. Unless aid is given t.
the people Of Sinaloa they must perish
almost as whole, but they have long
ago reached the end of their resources,
and there is no hope of the future.
From DIT. Triolo and from others who
recently have returned from oinaioa u
is learned that practically the whole
state is like a vast poorhouse, with no
one TO give aims. Mothers staying

the things which visitors returning
from Sinaloa saw there, not as cNcep-

the streets.

had been reported, but he saw som, at

For an enormous price. s25. he was able

 Emphasis was laid by the defence upon the fact that the state witnesses dwelt on the training work of the fighters as having begun about 12:45s directly after the noon hour, whereas the fighters and trainers testified that it was absurd to suppose they would begin work so soon after the midday meal. They never went to work in the quarters until nearly 8.
 Attorney Greenstein made an elo- quent plea for his clients.

Missing Woman May Delay Trial of Case
 Of Bankers vs. Seeley

The absence from this state of An toinette c. Searies may interfere some what with Burr & Knapp of this city collecting a claim on the Barnum estate assigned by Herbert Barnum Seeley. one of the heirs of the great snowman. A few weeks ago the local bankers brought suit against the Con- necticut Trust & Safe Deposit Co. of Hartford to recover a $2.Q00 claim on the Barnum estate assigned by Seeley.
 In the superior court today the Hartford company filed papers stating that Seeley had previously assigned Searies and Elizabeth W. Lockwood, residences not given. The amounts of these two claims, if allowed. would cover all the money due to Seeley. As Antoinette Searles is out of the court s of the present suit, it is claimed that the action brought by Burr & Knapp should not hold.

KNIFE SEPARATES
 iSIAMESED TWINS
Hope Is Entertained for Good Results From Paris
 Operation

Paris, March 4-The delicate opera tion of separating the Siamese twins Madeline-Suzane, who were born united. was performed here to- day. No such operation had taken place in France since pr. Doyen in 1902 separated the two Hindu chill dren, Raddca-Roodica,s who died of tuberculosis after the operations.
 The twins operated on today were born Nov. 28, 1913. At birth they weighed % pounds Both children ap- peared perfectly healthy.
 Madeline -Suzane were joined to- gether in the region of the stomach. The juncture was of a. superficial kind and photographic examinations show ed that there was no organ of in- portance in the unieing membrane. The organs of the children were en- tirely distinct.
 The operation on twins so joined, although always dangerous to life, was considered Justified by French scien- former pairs.
 Eng, one of the original Siamese twins, saw his brother. Chang. die by his side and himself died of horror in a dehriurn a few hours afterward. Mdl1ie- Christine died in a similar man ner and the last moments of Helene Judith in the 17th century are known to have been marked by awful cries of pain from one of the twins, the other screaming with horror as the dead body beside her gradually sapped her own life.
