FAST EXPRESS KILLS
FREIGHT CONDUCTOR
[ [Contlnued from First Page.

Funeral arrangements have not been
completed.
William Earl Newcomer, son of the
man who was killed. is employed by
the railroad company at the Union
Station ticket office and was notified OF
his fathers death shortly after the
accident.
Coroner ECkinger after a short in
vestiGation said that death was caused
accidentally. The tracks Tor more than
a hundred feet from where the train
struck Newcomer were covered with
blood and the undertaken to whom
the body was turned over said that he
did not believe that there was one
bone in the mans body that was not
broken.
Mr.. Newcomer has been in the en-
ploy of the company since December
26, 1882, and was known to be one Of
the most careful conductors in the
freight service. At the time of the
accident he was walking westward on
the westbound track. A freight train
passing on the eastbound track entire
ly drowned the noise of the approach
ing train, No 1893, which leaves
Philadelphia at 2.05 and arrives in
Harrisburg at 4.l5. The train at the
time of the accident was going almost
sixty miles an hour it is said.
The officials of the railroad COM
pany were surprised to hear of the
accident, knowing that Newcomer was
acquainted with the schedule of all the
passenger trains coming west at that
time in the morning. one of the rules
for employees on the road in regard
TO walking on tracks is to walk east
on westbound tracks and west on east
bound tracks.
Mr.. Newcomer at the time OF the
accident had Just stepped off one of
the cars on the local train on which ne
was working right in front of the
train coming west. A number of men
have been killed at the same place by
the same train, the last one being J.
f. Mulligan, who was struck at the
same time in the morning one day last
summer, by the same train.

j. s. MUST RELEASE
PHILIPPINES SOON
In Case Of War Japan Would Call
Upon Her Allies, England, France
and Russia to Help Her.
[By Associated Press.l

10y Aen'AAhA'h q i'aasA
jefferson City, Mo. March 20
Warning that the United States must
decide now on a definite foreign poll.
cy was given Friday by Senator
James Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois in
an address before the Missouri Leg.
islature.
Senator Lewis said the United
States should decide whether to re-
tain the Philippines and maintain two
large fleets to resist aggression on the
part OF foreign powers. or leave the
Philippines and return to the tradi-
tional policy Of isolation.
Senator Lewis said:
should the United States find II
necessary to make a protest against
Japan forcibly selling China, Japan
would probably demand that her pres.
ent allies. England. France and Rus
STA. support her against the United
States. Then America would be con-
/ fronted with a remarkable situation.
Should Japan. in conjunction with
China. be forced to vent the griey-
ante Of her people by war she would
seize the Philippines and then would
seize Hawaii as the base from which
to intercept our fleet on it's way TO
recover the Philippines. Then Rus
STA, the ally of Japan, would seize
Northern Alaska.
This would divide our army and
navy. England, because OF her al
lance with Japan. could render no
aid to the United States in Canada
or Alaska. nor would she dare do so
in view OF the English possessions
and English citizens in Japan and
China.
Central America, which has a
grievance against us because OF the
claim that we forcibly took Panama,
might lend itself to aid our foes by
destroying the Panama Canal to pre-.
vent our fleet in the Atlantic and
Pacific from joining.
1T is plain the United States has
but one OF two courses. This country
must come out of the Philippines and
remove any governmental interest
; from the orient Thus when this
! country no longer is demanding gov
| ernmental privileges in the Orient
the Orient will have no occasion Ia
, exact reciprocity in governmental
: privileges in this country for Oriental
} citizens.
"If We continue in our policy Of
! going into the world participating IL
0 the financing Of Oriental and European
t adventures, allying ourselves with tn,
3 finances of England, and continuing
t to advance our civilization and oul
l. supervision of South American coun
J. tries, then we must be prepared L
& maintain an Atlantic fleet larg,
d enough to cope with combined
Europe; we must have a Pacific flee
It large enough to defend the coast an,
