which developed yesterday at the meet
ing of the committee on civic organi-

VAST CRIME NET
SPUN BY PHONE
New Police System Will
Block Every Avenue Of
Escape from City.

The general alarm system Of the Po-
lice Department has been improved
through an arrangement made yester-
day by Commissioner Woods with the
New York Telephone Company. Police
authorities Of all nearby cities, rail-
road officials and employees now will
receive immediate notification of the
escape of a criminal.
The new system will, it is expected,
shut off every avenue OF escape from
the city. At present, when a crime is
discovered and the criminal escapes,
it is two hours before the news of the
crime and the description of the per-
sons wanted reaches even the patrol
men on the streets of the city. II is
usually four hours before the authOri-
ties of other cities are notified.
The new system will operate imme-
diately. Under it, the Commissioner
believes, Hanel, the murderer of Mrs.
Heilner in her Flatbush home, who is
still at large, would have never reached
Philadelphia. HanePs crime was dis
covered "A few minutes after it oc-

If that murder was committed now,
the patrolman would flash Headquar-

officials of every town within L radius
of fifty miles, every railroad depot and
ferry would have that description.
Therefore Hanel would not have been

Pic:on Plunges Through
Hatchway Into Trans
port at Navy Yard.
WORKMEN MANGLED
AS IF BY SHRAPNEL
Accident May Delay Fleets Ru'
mOred Preparations for
Dash TO Mexico.

While work on the transport Sumner
was being rushed yesterday at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, in anticipation,
it is believed, of intervention in Mex
leo, three-ton piston shaft dropped
through her hatchway, almost killing
two machinists and doing much damage
to the vessel herself.
The piece of steel had just been
swung aboard the Sumner, attached by
heavy chains TO a crane. As IL was
being lowered through the hatch some
thing snapped and the shaft dropped
from view A second later there was
an explosion-like crash that could be
heard all over the navy yard. Joseph
Baker and J. NJ Glashen narrowly
missed being crushed BY the big metal
pole. Both were hit by flying chips of
iron and wood. They were taken to
the Cumberland Street Hospital. 1t is
not known whether they will live.
How much damage was caused on
the transport by the fall of the shaft
could not be ascertained. board will
investigate the cause of the accident
to-day.
In drydock at the navy yard are the
battleships New York and Maine. For
the last few days men have been work
ing in extra shifts on them and the
Sumner. No one will admit that the
vessels are being rushed because OF
their need in Mexican waters. 1t IS
understood that each will sail as soon
as she is fit for service.

practically ready to put to sea to-day

For some time past the Maine has
been used as receiving ship at the navy
yard. Her machinery is in perfect
condition, and in the last few weeks
her bottom has been scraped and re-
painted The Summers accident may
set back the transports date Of de-

acquainted with her construction said
last night that if the piston shaft fell
straight it undoubtedly damaged her
engines.

began to pour into her. All yesterday
the work continued. The statement
that she will probably sail Friday has

THE POPE AS MEDIATOR.

In his contributions to the His

M. B. Walter, Protestant writer in
Holland, says:
There is only one Power standing
without and above the parties Ito the
struggle of nations) and entitled by
it's moral position to interfere.
When it thinks the opportune mo-
ment has come, this Power will un-
doubtedly do so. This Power is His
Holiness the Pope. All those who
love peace for itself, be they Protes-
tants, like the author, or Catholics,
and who feel impelled to plead for
peace with some man, must go to
Rome and not direct their appeal to
Governments, not one of which can
be considered a disinterested party
to the questions at issue.
THE influence of the Holy Father
knows no national boundaries and is
strong in England also. His great
spiritual prestige must be conceded
by all countries. Hence the appoint
ment of a Dutch Ambassador to the
Vatican would be not only the fulfill
ing of a long neglected, great and
ideal duty towards the Catholic fel.

NUNS LARoRING HERofcALLY

believe: their home is under the spe-

their patroness.
Three Sisters devote themselves to
caring for the victims of the pest. The
terrible sights, the misery they looked
upon would make the stoutest hearts
quail. Whole families were often car

nurses did what they could to ease the
sufferings of the dying, and where chill
dren were left orphans they brought
them home to be cared for.
The dead being too numerous to be
buried according to custom, and there
not being enough wood to burn the
bodies, the government purchased a
large tract of land and inferred the
dead without regard to caste, and so
near the surface that jackals and hy-
enas came and dug up the corpses to
devour them. Crossing cemetery on
their way to visit the sick, the nuns
found themselves in agmass of skulls
and bones that had been left by prowl-
ing animals. The experience called for
fortitude on the part of the Sisters.
