EFFICIENCY IS IMPORTANT.
President of Colorado College MADE
Address Before Railway Men,

One of the features of the meeting
of railway financial officers at Colo
RADIO Springs last week was the al
dress of welcome given by Wllllam I.
Slocum president of Colorado college,
A O. Wellman of Topeka, assistant
treasurer of the Santa F'e and past
president of the society of financial
men, says that the meeting was an
important one and many vital SUB
1ects were brought up for discussion
In his talk, the college president
said: IT il of the utmost importance
that men of ability and character
should administer the financial AFFAIRS
of a great people 1t is unsafe Tor the
higher interests of a nation that us
Industrial affairs should be IN the
hands of inefficient administrators
and still more of men who morally
cannot be trusted. On the other hand,
honesty, industry and high sense OF
responsibility in the management OF
banks, railroads, factories and mines
are essential for the prosperity of a
country. The control and direction OF
our systems of transportation are Sa-
cred and are more and more regarded
as SUCH The securing of safety and
comfort have become essential to sue
cess in carrying millions of men, wom-
en- and children back and forth over
tens of thousands of miles.
Never was there a time when the
world was turning to the United States
for wise counsel and leadership In all
affairs as it is today. Just as men and
women in all the varied affairs of hu-
man life realize the trust that civili-
cation is placing in their keeping will
the nation find its mission and full
fill it's destiny
The executive members for the
Colorado Springs session was com
posed of E H. Alden, secretary and
treasurer of the Norfolk & Western;

of the Frisco; d. K. Kellog, secretary

A PLEASANT TIME
WAS HAD BY ALL
Three Thousand on Melville
Social Club Outing-Only
Four Badly Injured.

The Melville Social Club. of South
Brooklyn, had a good old-fashioned
time yesterday at its outing. The day
was spent at Forest View Grove, near
City Island, and when the merry party
Of about 5000 men and women landed
last night at Pier 33, South Brooklyn,
the reserves of the Hamilton Avenue
station, summoned by repeated blasts
from the Ajaxs whistle. were there to
meet them.
Without stopping to answer ques-
tions the 5000 piled out of the Ajax
and the two barges she had in tow,
swept the reserves aside and went away
from there. In the first barge the po-
lice found James Maloney, of 135
Windsor Place, Brooklyn, with a dozen
nasty stab wounds in his chest;
Thomas Duggan, .of AT Henry Street,
Brooklyn, with cuts on his legs and
body; Charles Brenner, Of 1873 Baltic
Street, Brooklyn, with a long scalp
wound, and William Fitzgerald, Of 249
Forty-third Street, Brooklyn, who had
several knife wounds and a dislocated
shoulder.
Maloney was taken to Long Island
College Hospital. His condition is
serious. The others were detained at
TIE Amity Street police station and
quizzed by Assistant District Attorney
Wilson, who only succeeded in learning
that there had been "a big time"
The skipper of the Ajax told the po-
lice the fight started beneath the
Brooklyn Bridge, when he was more
than a mile from his pier. 1t was on
the first barge, and the captain didn't
know what il was all about.
1t was said that two factions, the
"Creekers" and the Pointers" were
represented on the outing, and that a
dispute arose as TO the prizes awarded
in the athletic contests. John Nolan,
whose band was on the barge where
the fight ragged, kept his musicians
putting and banging away in an effort
TO distract the attention Of women and
non-combatants.

Cathedral Partly Wrecked by
Recent BombardmentS, De-
spite Protection.

Paris, June 20.-Albert Dslimier,
Under Secretary of Fine Arts, has re-
turned from Rheims, where he went
to see what further damage had been
done to the cathedral by recent Ger
man bombardments. .,
Five shells fell in the cathedral
Thursday, causing additional destruc-
tion," Mr.. Dalimier said, in discuss
ing his inspection. Measures OF pro-
lection naturally are restricted. Sand
bags have been piled around the base
of the exterior and the most impor-
tant parts of the interior have been
walled around with planks, which save
them from damage from she'll frag-
ments, but afford no protection against
the explosion Of entire shells. Every
thing movable has been taken to a
place Of safety"

HIS DEPOSITORS
WILL LOSE ALL

tence When Case Is
Called To-day.
DECISION NULLIFIES
S15O,O0O OFFER
81 Don't Expect They'll Treat
Me Very Badly in Prison." His
Only Comment on Case.

[From a STAFF Correspondent OF The Tnbune.l
Geneseo, n. Y, June 20.-Henry Sic
gel will tomorrow accept his sentence
Of ten months in the Munro County jail
at Rochester, according 20 a statement
made late tonight by one Of counsel in
the case. With this announcement van
ishes all hope of $4,000 depositors re-
ceiving any substantial part Of the
s2.20O,O00 still due them by SiegePs
bank.
The offer Of Sl50,0O0 on account made
by Siegel some time ago and acceptable
to a majority of the dep, sitors, will not
be presented to the court for its con-
sderation.
The decision to accept sentence is
due to the determination Of minority
of the depositors to force more money
out Of Siegel under penalty Of further
prosecution. Proceedings in court to-
morrow will be brief, recurring not more
than ten minutes. Siegel will be rep
resented by Senator Charles ID. New
ton and Assistant biSIllNN "'"''
Arthur c. Train will represent the peo-
ple. At the close of the court proceed
ings. Senator Newton will issue a state
ment for Siegel explaining his posi-
tion.
It is Siegel's plan to re-enter bust
ness after he has served his tern. He
said tonight: 81 do not expect that
thev will treat me very badly in Jail.
Local wiseacres have professed all
along a belief that the banker would
20 to Jail. According to their story
Justice Clark was much hurt by the
storm of criticism that followed
Siegeps practical acquittal Of felony
charge, and they point to his abrupt
ness in ordering Siegel to be on hand
tomorrow when an adjournment was
asked last week as an evidence OF MS
dfeposition in the case.
Mr.. Train was confident to-day, that
this would be Siege's last day at large.

Three Plants Resume
Operation.
LRy Telograph 70 Nc Trlbune.l J

Martins Ferry, Ohio, June 2o.-A
woman, one barrel stave and a few
swats Of determination are the latest
formula for strike breaking in this
place. Three local plants employing
1000 men had been idle for three
weeks until Mrs. Frank Marelli de-
cided on forceful mediation.
The men struck TO enforce their de-
mands for permission TO form branch
of the Millmen's Union. Plckets were
stationed around the three factories
and several fights resulted.
Mr.. Marell grew tired of support,
ing the family while her husband
struck, picked up barrel stave and
marched down to the tent where the
pickets had established headquarters.
She found her husband there, rsed the
barrel stave on him and then on the
other strikers.
The pickets fed. Then several hun
dred men entered the plants and put
them in operation.
