Conductor Chaplin to Tell Chiefs
Of HerOism of Young
Women.

A large oak tree fell across the
Frisco tracks, about five miles north
of Parma yesterday afternoon, and a
| serious accident was averted by the
presence of mind and prompt action
Of three young ladies who discovered
the danger a short time after the
storm had passed over.
The Gulf train was almost due when
Miss Bessie Williams, Miss Iva Eagle
ton and Miss Mabel Fulkerson in
walking up the track discovered the
blockade that had been caused by the
falling timber.
They hurried to the closest home in
the vicinity, and while Miss Eagleton
had gone inside to secure a cloth to
use as flag, the other two young la
dies hurried to the wood pile and each
seized an ak and hurried back to the
railroad. Miss Eagleton walked up the
track from where the tree had fallen
and waited the approach of the train.
A few minutes later, Julius Fischer,
the engineer of the fast passenger
was attracted by the sight of woman
standing in the center of the track
Immediately ahead of him, frantically
waving a towel.
interpreting her gestures as a sig
nal to stop he Immediately applied
the emergency brake and quickly
brought the train to a standstill.
Conductor Dot Chaplin leaped to the
ground and rushed ahead of the en-
CINE to investigate the reason for the
abrupt pause, when he came face to
face with the excited young woman
who was almost hysterical from the
strain under which she had been la
boring.
When hurriedly questioned she was
so nearly overcome that she could not
answer, but she motioned the train
crew to follow, and when they passed
around a short curve they came upon
Miss William and Mis- Fulkerson who
had succeeded in cutting the log in
two, and had rolled one end almost
completely off the track
They were both almost completely ex-
hausted. Their faces were fiery red
from the exertion, and the perspira-
ton was pouring from them. Their
hands were badly blistered and they
bore evidence of the struggle they had
made to prevent a serious disaster.
M. Fischer said that the curve was
on the fireman's side, and that the
engineer would have had no oppor-
tunity to see the log until too late to
avoid crashing into it. He feels GER
tain that the heroic efforts of the
young women saved the train from
a serious wreck.
The train crew and passengers
thanked them prOfusely, end Mr.. Cha
pin took their names for the purpose |
of making report to the higher off
Gals.

UNDER WATER
FIVE MINUTES
YET Man LIVES
A. ]. Albert, Hit by Train, is
Hurled Into Stream, But
Fished Out.
WATER CHURNED OUT
HE ARISES AND WALKS
Man Taken to Hospitals Expect
ed to be Well in Short
Time.

A. ]. Albert, who has for sometime
been employed as a Waterman on one
Of the dredge boats operating south of
this city, was struck by a train yes
terday afternoon and hurled into a
pool of water eight feet deep.
Albert was sitting on a trestle a
short distance below the cement plant
when he was struck by the Campbell
local, No. S54.
7. T. Martin, the engineer, told of
the occurrence as follows:
GAS l approached the trestle saw
this man sitting on the edge fishing
in the water below him. l could see
him watching US, and l supposed that
he would get out of the way before we
were on him. He made no attempt to
move, and finally after 1 had applied
the air and was shouting at him, he
leaned over as far as he could, ap-
parently thinking that the train would
pass without touching him.
"He was struck on the right side,
and when he rolled over between the
east rail and the guard rail the sand
pipe caught his hips and threw him
over the rail into the water where he
sank to the bottom, depth of eight or
ten feet.
eve backed the train off the trestle
and then attempted to find him by
feeling with his fishing pole. We fl
nally came in contact with his body,
but were unable to raise it to the sur
face until We procured the clinker
hooks from the tender, and then we
dragged him out.
at seemed to me that we were
working five minutes before we locat-
ed him and hauled him to the surface,
but / hardly think he could have lived
that long under the water.
after We got him out on the bank
we churned him and rolled him around,
but were not able to get much water
out of him.
'"The accident occurred at about $50
in the afternoon, and after we had
tried to revive him we brought him in
to the Cape arriving here about an
hour later. He was able to talk when
he reached town, but was in a deliri-
Gus condition"
Albert received an injury on the side
of his head, and his right elbow was
cut. He was met at the station by DIR.
D. H. Hope, the Frisco physician, and
was conveyed to the hospital after
considerable delay on account of the
ambulance being out on another call.
Late last night the injured man had
shown a marked improvement, and it
is believed that he will recover rapid
ly.

WARDEN OSBORNE.

Recent reports that Thomas Mott
Osborne is about to resign as war
den of Sing Sing prison are based
generally on the statement that he
is breaking down under the strain,
or that he has had an attack Of grip
which makes it impossible for him to
continue the task he has under
taken, or that the failure of his ex-
pertinent has discouraged him.
There are many who dislike his
views as to prison management, or
object to him personally, these last
being generally such as have suffered
from his honest attempt to reform
abuses in the institution Hartford
Times.
It would be interesting to know
just what Warden Osborne thinks Of
the methods of reform he has insti-
tuted at Sing Sing prison. There arc
men engaged in prison work and who
are also interested in penology who
have been saying that there will be
an uprising at Sing Sing some clay
that will startle people. They argue
that Warden Osborne's ideas will
the prisoners in the institution will
some day show him and all others
that they are not to be trusted as he
trusts them. This argument is pre-
dicated on the belief that all men who
go to prison are bad and that there
is no good in them. There never
was more misleading statement, be-
cause there are q great many men
who go to prison once only; they go
there for various forms of offenses
and which in no way indicate viii
famous disposition. There are, of
course, bad men in prison, but taken
as whole they are in a minority
The policy which Warden Osborne
is trying to establish is that prisoners
have a right to be treated decently
without any of the severity that has
for many years characterized the
treatment of prisoners, and that the,,
will do more when shown kindness
than if approached with a club. War
den Osborne evidently likes his work,
but he is strongly opposed to capital
punishment. He has not been feeling
just right since three murderers were
electrocuted a short time ago at the
execution

intended. If it had been possible to
reduce profits without reducing en-
p1Oyment, that would have been an
other blessing of a sort. The reduc-
ton of profits and the loss of employ
m ent for labor in the same proportion
for capital are misfortune COM
mon to both. IF it had been possible
to reduce both costs and profits Of
producers ugether that would have
been a blessing for consumers except
for the disclosure that the interests
of producers and consumers cannot
be separated.
Try these generalities by some
specific facts from the history of the
steel corporation. Monopoly and ex-
tortion were it's alleged faults. Its
share of the business never entitled
it to be deemed a monopoly, and has
decreased. The prices in the trade
averaged about 500 per ton in 1901.
rose to about $40, and in 1914 were
about $31 The company's profits per
ton have never been SO large as in its
first complete year, 1902, when they
were 1925. In 1914 they were es-
timated at Sc. Taxes and wages show
smaller variations but tend upward,
especially taxes. They began at about
So 100000 and increased to $11, Oo0,-
600. Wages have averaged as low as
S677 per man per year, but in 1913
averag ed s905. In that maximum
year the wage disbursement was
S207, 2o6,176. Last year the payroll
was 1852, 1907. The rate was MAIN
tanned, but the number of workers
fell from 228,906 to 1898. The de-
crease in both was almost exactly the
same in percentage the decrease in
employment being 21.65 per cent.
Since its formation the company has
disbursed in wages $1,945,2 00,S01, and
its assets and liabilities balance at
81, ,492. 1t has been said upon
the highest labor authority to be the
greatest enemy of labor. II is in
comparably the greatest paymaster in
its class.

Welsh Rivals for Tipperary.
(Lloyd's Weekly, London.)

Cymric ardor on the battlefield is
going to be inspired and sustained by
CyInric music. Not the least impress
sive sight today, and during the last
week, among the Welsh units training
at Porthcawl has been the gathering
of the soldiers for choral singing.
When the new Welsh army of 10000
men takes the field it will go to bat
tie to the sound of Cynric war
chorus, which experts haye described
as the finest martial music in the
world. .a
The organizat ton just formed is
known as the Welsh Army Male Voice
Chorus, and as the recruits include
some of the finest singers in the Welsh
valleys, men who have competed in
scores of Eisteddfods the soldiers
practice sings at Porthcawl partake of
the character of first-class concerts,
which attract to the vicinity of the
hall large numbers of residents of
the town and visitors.
Miss Gee Of Denbigh. an ardent pa
tfiot is distributing a fine selection
of Welsh war songs, with a request
for the rendering of these and less

COMMUNICATED.
Neutrality Of Sundays Meeting Is Be-
ing Questioned.

Editor Herald:-Will you kindly
quote Presidents Wilson's proclama-
ton of neutrality concerning public
speaking. l thought that I under
stood the meaning of the word neu-
trality, but after attending the So
called neutrality meeting Sunday
afternoon, March 81, I am in doubt
as to the reality of such q word or
its meaning. I am an American with
the interests of the American govern
ment and people at heart.
AN AMERICAN.
President Wilson has been quoted
as saying that the American people
should not snow any public prefer
ence for any particular nation en-
gaged in the war, but there is moth
ing in his proclamation issued August
4, 1914, which covers the point raised
by the above communication. The
proclamation is a somewhat lengthy
document too lengthy to be quoted
