1t might be as we'll TO say in pre-
senting the following suggestion re-
ceived by President Shonts of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
In his mail yesterday that 1t comes
from the Bushwick section of Brook
lyn. Here il is:

for the public, and will be profitable to

the passengers will like to have their
breakfast while going travelling on the

hurrying 10 get his morning meal and

An Interborough official, commenting
on the "Bushwickian" request, said:
There seems to be much merit in the
suggestion. But. unfortunately If we
made room on our lines for even one
CUP of coffee-much less second or a
third cup-we would not have space for

CATHOLIC BAN ON

Sacred Congregation of Index
Makes MaeterlinCk's Works
Forbidden Literature.

Rome. Jan. 30-The Sacred Congre-
cation Of the Index has decided that all
the works of Maurice Maetcrlinck, tho
Belgian author, shall he classed as for
bidden literature to Catholics.
Maurice Maeterlnck received the Nobel
prize for literature in 1911. He has been
regarded as one OF the foremost figures
in modern literature. and has been before
the reading public since 1899 when his
first dream play, la Princess Maleine. -
appeared.
Among >his best known plays are
"Monna Wanna" The Blue Bird Jay
zelle" and The Death of Tintagiles -
"Pelleas ct Melsande," the opera written
by Maeterinck was produced first at
Boston in January. 1912. and Maeterlinck s
wife, Nine. Georgette lie Blanc, appeared
in it,
When the attention OF ". Rourke Cock
ran was called last evening to the action
of the Sacred Congregation Of the Index
he said:
while ! have given no particular
thought 10 the works of Maetcl X from
the religious aspect I should say that II
the Sacred Congregation has condemned
them or any part OF them II has done
rightly. The Judgment Of the Church in
such matters is always mature, and ex-
pressed after profound consideration
Such a decision is not capricous one,
but was reached after deliberate study cf
the Begians writings. Ny own opinion

Of them would be difficult TO describe
unless | said they Were incoherent. but
would not like to venture an opinion ex-

'KUEHN GAVE LIFE
TO SAVE WOMAN
Wireless Operator Strapped
His LifebeIt on Her.
with Death Near.

Ferdinand Joseph Kuehn, the senior
wireless operator on the Monroe, tor-
feited his chance Of rescue that
woman passenger, whose name was not
learned. might he saved.
Kuehn stood on the boat deck while
the vessel was filing rapidly with
water. over his shoulders and about
his waist was buckled lifebelt. lie
was about to step into lifeboat. when
woman, frantic with fear rushed 10
his side. Kuehn quieted her, removed
the lifebelt from his body and strapped
II about the woman He assisted her
into the boat. A few moments later the
wireless operator was fioundering IN
the icv water which claimed his life.
The death of Kuehn marked the pass
ing Of the first operator of the Ameri-
can Marconi service to lose his life on
a ship.
With his mother and father, Kuehn
lived at No. i9f Jackson avenue, The
Bronx. in little frame cottage. HIS
mother expected him home last night.
When the Monroe was struck kuehn
found that the ships wireless had been
nut out Of commission. He stepped out
on the boat deck and assisted the off,
GERS in loading passengers into ,he
boats. The vessel was sinking rapidly
beneath him. and he seized lifebe't
from the deck and strapped it about
him as a matter of precautlon. Tnen
he continued his task of aiding the Of
ficers.
The No. 3 boat was ready to launch
and Kuehn, according 10 reports, was
about to step in. There were no other
passengers in sight. AS the operator
leaned over TO grasp the davit support
ing the lifeboat a woman appeared out
of the gloom. She was frantic with
fear and cried that she would be
drowned.
Then Kuehn without an instant's hes
itation bowed TO the unwritten law OF
the sea that says women and children
shall be the first 10 leave a distressed
ship.
Since her boy was ten years old, Mrs.
Kuehn, the wireless operators mother,
said last night. he had been interested
in electric devices. on top Of the little
house In Jackson avenue there is still
wireless apparatus set up by young
Kuehn eleven years ago. He was only
twenty-one years old.
Four years ago. his mother said. he
secured a position as a wireless opera
tor on one Of the JOY Line steamers.
About three years ago he entered the
employ of the Marconi company and
made several trips on the Old Dominion
Line steamers He was model son.
his mother said, and contributed to the
family support.
At a table in the front room OF her
home Mrs. Kuehn sat last night with
copies of all the New York papers
spread before her. She read and re-
read every word telling of the Monroe
disaster, and although her sons name
was mentioned among those who had
perished Mrs. Kuehn continued 10 hope
against hope.

the tonnage of the Monroe. was MT oy

afoat long enough to save her entire
passenger complement and crew.
The Cunard liner Umbria, going al

fog some fifteen years ago, and picked
up all the survivors from the two Sec
tions. " hich kept anoat for several days.
The White Star liner Republic kept
afloat for day and transferred all
her passengers to the Florida when she
uss rammed in a fog of Nantucket.
In all cases subsequent investigation
showed that the offending vessel had
been running at fairly good speed. At
the time OF the Umbria's collision II
was generally conceded that the vessel
running 1T the highest speed got off
with the least harm
Officials Of the Old Dominion Line
were at a loss to-day TO understand
why the Monroe should have sunk
The captains OF both vessels were
too much exhausted when they came in
to-day on the Nantucket to discuss the
details OF the collision.

Women and Children First"

Women and Children First"
Captain Johnson, who was in an cx-
hausted condition on arrival to-day.
said that hs had little time TO do any
thing after he was hit.
She plunged into total darkness
after the impact he said. "and knew
she would not keep up long. We start

Monroe was awash.'
According TO the officers and crew
who were inclined to talk there was no
panic or disorder. During the brief
space of time the crew had with the
| boats the officers shouted Women and
children first" and there was no effort
made by the men TO get place in the
lifeboat until all the women in sight
had been cared for.
The Monroe's crew praised the
prompt work OF the officers and men on
| the Nanuucket. As she plunged back
| from the gap she had made in the Mon
roe she got out of the way to avoid
| humping, and soon her lfeboats, which
| had been promptly lowered, were pulled
| through the fog in search Of those who
were floating in the water near by.
| The Nantucket's wireless meanwhile
had been sending out calls for help,
and the Old Dominion liner Hamilton,
a sister ship OF the lost Monroe, came
I h.
| Fortunately for the rescucrs, a brisk
wind came up from the north and drove
the fog before it. For two hours in
the clearing, although the wind had
kicked up moderate sea. the lifeboats
cruised about in search OF the missing.
Flood Poured Into Hold.
The Nantucket's bow was buckled
and heavy food poured into her for
ward hold through Jagged and twisted
plates. Her pumps kept her fairly
clear OF water, however, and she stood
by until the Hamilton arrived to take
up the remainder OF the search for sur-
vivors.
On the arrival of the Nantucket. al
most half OF the survivors. suffering
from shock or minor injuries, had 20 be
rushed to local hospitals for surgical
attention, and for a half hour ambu-
