Deep in Thought, Dreaming,
a Boy Walks in Autos Path

q boy Walks III AutO . dtii
An automobile was passing down
Grand River-ave. .....
A boy was crossing Grand River-ave..
near Park-st., in the center of the block.
The boy was deep in thought.
Evidently there was something of
great weight on the boys mind-possibly
the opening of the American league
season
At any rate he gave no sign that he
was aware Of the autos approach.
II he heard the sharp blast of its horn
he paid no attention to it.
The auto driver set his emergency
brake just in time to avoid hitting the
boy.
The boy turned then and looked dag
gers at the driver, instead Of thanking
him as he ought to have done.
It happened that this car was in COM
petent hands-
The Times wants to repeat here that
the majority Of drivers are sane, sober
and careful.
If this car had been going the least
bit faster, the boy would have been run
down and injured; maybe crippled for
Life; possibly killed.
The driver would have been well within
the downtown speed limit had he been
going faster, but he would have been CEN
sured by lot Of people, and by them
made to shoulder the entire blame.
HAD THE BOY BEEN RUN DOWN,
THIS DRIVER WOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN TO BLAME.
The BOY would have been all to blame
He had no right to cross street in
the middle Of the block.
Dreaming meantime made his offense
worse.
The pedestrians place Is ON THE
SIDEWALK and WITHIN THE LINES
AT THE CROSSINGS.
Let's not forget that the autos have
their rights.
The streets are for them, the same as
the sidewalks are for pedestrians.
The close call we witnessed proved no
more serious THAN close cali for the
reason that one of the parties essential
to the fatal accident was not on hand.
Kerosene oil by itself isn't a bit
dangerous.
A lighted match intelligently and care
fully guarded is not bit dangerous.
But when the two meet there are
bright prospects for serious conse-
quences.
The Grand River incident had the
careless pedestrian and lacked only a
speed fool or drunken auto driver to
add another to the list of fatalities. 2
We have laws with which to reach
the latter class and these laws should at
all times be rigidly enforced.
That is the pedestrians due.
We have laws Of the road and pedes-
TRANS should ut all times make II point
to see that they comply with them.
That is the automobile drivers due.

Question Public Service
Commissions Method of
Awarding Damages

The method followed by the Public
Service Commission of PENNSYLVANIA
in issuing a certificate of public con-
venience for the erection of an ele-
waited trolley crossing in Butler, Pa.
was pointedly questioned this morn
ing by the Dauphin County Court.
The issue was raised during argu-
ment on the appeal of the Pittsburgh,
Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad
from the Service Commissions decree
granting the Butler Street Passenger
Railway Company the right to build
the bridge over the tracks of the Pitts
burgh, Bessemer and Lake Erie Rail-
road and the Pittsburgh and Western
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
at grade and the system by which the
commission assessed the damages and
the costs.
Both Judges Kunkel and McCarrell
inquired of Attorney Burn II. Evans,
the commissions counsel, whether or
not the commission had ascertained
the amount of damages before issuing
the decree. Mr.. Evans said it had not
because it believed the law left that to
the courts and that it had nothing else
to do than to apportion the damages
and costs on percentage basis.
1T would seem to u.s. declared the
court, that the ascertainment of the
amount of these damages was essen
tial.'

URGES ONE
UNIVERSAL CHURCH
God Doesn't Want a Man Who
Is a Trout Here and Salt
MackereI in N. Y"

There should be but one Chris
tian church, and it should be called
the Universal Church of God" said A.
T. Morgan, a Pittsburgh lawyer, be-
fore an audience that completely filed
the church auditorium and Sunday
school room of Stevens Memorial
church, last evening.
THE confession of faith of that
church might be this and this only:
I believe in God. the Father Maker
of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son.. There might be
no rules to govern the conduct of its
members. If they believe in God, they
will go to Him, and learn of Him, and
He will teach them what is right and
what is wrong"
Expect Too Much
Mr.. Morgan went on to say that
churches vary because of their differ
ence in doctrines relating to minor
matters, and that these have often
caused church strife and contention
Many of the doctrines are stumbling
blocks, he said. He also blamed the
laity for failures in the ministry and
said that the members expect toe
much from the pastors.
Among other things he said:
IF some professed Christians had
been born two thousand years sooner
Judas woud have lost his job for they
would have betrayed Christ for hall
the fee that Judas charged. 49,
God does not want a man who is
a trout in Harrisburg and salt mack
erel in New York. ="

CITY PLANNERS FAVOR
ASPHALT PLANT SITE
Commission to Recommend Ap-
proval of Mccormick Plot
to Council

The Mccormick tract as a site for the
proposed city asphalt repair plant was
approved to-day by the City Planning
Commission at a brief session and
Council Will be acquainted of the fact
when the measure comes before the
city commissioners on the second
reading calendar
The ordinance authorizing the pur-
chase or less than an acre lying Just
north of Snanois street and west of the
Steelton branch of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad was offered by
Commissioner w. II. Lynch last week.
The price asked is $6,G3O.
Whether or not the Planning Conf
mission will necessarily have to pass
upon the plans for the construction of
the plant itself has not been decided
as the drawings have not been pre-
pared. AS soon as possible after the
passage of the ordinance Mr. Lynch
will advertise for bids.
Commissioner w. II. Lynch said to-
day that he had received no answer
from the Scranton Bonding company
which is surety for Alderman Charles
p. Walter, the city street repair con-
tractor, and that if the company does
not answer by Wednesday, March 10.
the city itself will proceed with the re-
pairing of the streets and the bonding
company will have to. pay the bills.
Mr.. Lynch tomorrow will introduce
an ordinance authorizing the purchase
of n street sprinkler and two sweep
crS.

CATTLE SHIPMENT
BROUGHT TO END

The State of Pennsylvania rnmains
master of the cattle shipment situation
and the quarantine against any ship
ments into or through the State will
stand for the present.
Word was received this morning by
Attorney General Brown that the
Erie, New York Central, Nickleplate
and Lake shore and Michigan Southern
railroads would not accept any cattle
for. shipH TENT through Pennsylvania:
This means that the prohibition of
cattle shipments is now absolute and
no drastic steps to enforce II will be
taken. The kilograms received by the
Attorney General came from presidents,
officers and directors of the railroads,
who We're informed Saturday that they
would be proceeded against personally
sif the shipments continued. All de-
clared that while they considered the
matter one for Federal regulation and
not subject on which Pennsylvania
could act, they would accept the order.
Governor Brumbaugh had made
ready to send State Police to stop cat
tie shipments and to arrest officials
violating the orders.

Belief Prevails That Sadler, Miss
ing, May Be AlSle % Explain
Death of Unkn OwEl Tramp

George NJ. Sadler, I he missing Will
Transport man, is wan tel by the local
police department. Captain of Police
Joseph P Thompson i!s eff the opinion
that Sadler might tell, how the un-
known tramp was kill ed last Sunday
night.
The dead body of he tramp was
found alonE the tracks Rf the Phila-
delphia and Eeading raiir Dad at Nine
teenth street early Monday morning.
A travelling bag belongi-n to Sadler
was found by three bo. $. 1t was
hidden in an old wash boi Ter within a
stones throw FROM where the tramp's
body was found. Not far away is Il
place where tramps gather.
Captain Thompson is of the opinion
that Sadler and 4he tramp may have
been together Sunday. That, seeing
the tramp killed, the Williamsport
man became frightened, hitl his trav-
cling bag and made a getaway. Sadler
left a wife and six children, saying he
was going after a job. The body of
the tramp was not identified and was

Negro Drank Alcohol
Used to Preserve Cancers

of Randolph county, West Virginia,
below IIlkns. are excited because
Flanders Twilley. a negro, sold them
preserving alcohol which he obtained
at q hospital in Elkins where he had
been employed.
Only that Twilley is in the Tucker
county Jail for six months for vio-
lating the antipistol toting law saved
him from rough treatment at the
hands of his infuriated customers.
The alcohol sold by Twilley was
taken from bottles in which hospital
surgeons had preserved tumors, can
GERS, appendices and abnormal
growths. The horror at the discovery
by his victims of the kind of intoxi-
cant he had sold has tended to make
the section drier than ever
