ENGLAND WANTS
BILLY SUNDAY
Business Mems Movement Be-
lieves He Can Bring About
National Prohibition.
lBy Cable 10 The Tribunel

London, March 22.-"We want SPELL
binders and silver-tongued orators
from America to put over this prohi-
bition," says Henry Randall, who is
heading the business mems movement
in England to suppress the sale of in
toxicants until after the war. Mr.. Ran
dali has written all the advertisements
in the English press under the name OF
"Organizer." and they have created a
great sensation. Mr.. Randall says:
I'VE are not a temperance society,
but business men, and we don't believe
in preaching temperance, but in SELL
ing it through an advertisement as a
means of obtaining greater efficiency
in business as well as in the army.
We ought to borrow your American
Billy Sunday to put this thing through,
and if he will come we will see that
he has a place to live and audiences.
We want somebody TO shake up this
liberal government, and he must be an.
American spellbnder and silver
tongued oil ator. No other can do it,"
Letters poured in to Mr.. Randall
from all over England, from count
esses, manufacturers, soldiers, and
even lawyers. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
wrote: IL am sure that you are right
and if | can help you in any way
will"
England is gradually being forced
toward the policy which Russia had to
adopt, prohibiting the sale of liquor
during the war.

new HAVEN FLYER
DERAILED; | HURT
Passengers on Boston Ex-
press Shaken Up as
Train Jumps Track.
LRr Telesr.rh 70 The Tribune !

Bridgeport, Conn. March 22.-The
Boston Express, composed of steel
drawing room and observation cars,
leaving New York on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, at 4
o'clock and due in Boston at 9:55 p. M,
was derailed seven miles east Of
Bridgeport at $3.50 tonight.
Three cars were derailed and were
all but precipitated down a steep en-
bankment just thisTside of the Wash
ington Bridge, over the Housatonic
River, through which a barge was
passing. No one was killed.
Bubee, fireman on the huge Pacific
type engine, pulling the heavy train,
who is said to live in Springfield, Mass,
was severely injured as he jumped
down a bank and landed in a field
thirty feet below. lie was taken to
New Haven in an automobile and is
said by trainment tonight to probably
be internally injured. He was severely
cut about the head and arms.
Frank Whiting, the engineer on the
fast express, which does not stop be-
tween New York and New Haven, could
not explain the accident other than
that the train left the tracks on cut
out. Officials of the railroad were also
uncommunicative, though General Man
ager J. A. Droege and c. l.. Bardo.
manager of the Shore Line Division,
were called to the scene to personally
investigate.
1t is said by witnesses that the train
was approaching the bridge at rate
of speed exceeding thirty miles an
hour, and that when the engineer saw
the signals set against him the appl-
cation Of the emergency brakes, which
unseated the passengers, caused the
engine and three cars to leave the
rails.
Passengers in the Springfield,
Worcester and Boston cars, as well as
an observation, smoker and dining car,
were returned TO Bridgeport by the
wrecking crew from this city and were
later sent on their way on the 1888
train from Bridgeport to Springfield.
The accident occurred on Track A.,
the outside eastbound passenger track.
From the point of derailment the train
bumped over the ties for a distance OF
three car lengths before being brought
to a standstill. All the cars were IN
imminent danger of topping down the
high embankment, which was only pre-
vented by strong guard rail. Two
wrecking crows reached the scene
within an hour after the accident and
started to clear the passenger tracks,
which will be blocked during greater
part of the night, the trucks being
jammed closely between the main and
guard rails.
Had the accident happened several
hundred feet further east the entire
train would have been precipitated into

HAVE SHELLS FOR
BRITISH AMAZONS
Dead Woman Worth More
than Six Dead Men,
Say Germans.
IRv Cable 70 Tie Tribunal

London. March 22.-"The Daily Ex-
press" quotes the following extraordi-
nary article from the "Frankfurter
Zeitung," based on the belief that Great
Britain, owing to the failure of male
recruiting, has now decided to put
women in the field: at is indeed pain
full to see how the English are driven
to the last expedients in order to OBJ
tain recruits. The supply of eligible
men having practically ceased, all eyes
are now turned on the women.
"The suffragettes, it is argued, have
given substantial proof of their pug
nacious tendencies. If these are in
evidence in the case of so large num-
Der of the champions of female suf-
frage, they must equally form part Of
the character of the great bulk Of Eng
lish women. Hence propaganda di-
rectly under the auspices of Lord
Kitchener is now being actively carried
on among the women of England.
"In one large girls school not far
from Dover more than two hundred
wooden rifles were distributed among
the pupils, who are now being daily
drilled and practised in the employ
ment of firearms. Thus we are faced
with an irruption of amazons on the
battlefields of Flanders.
Let them come, the heroic furies.
We shall receive them with a thun-
derous salute of shells. Their sex
shall not save them. On the contrary,
it will draw against them attacks all
the more violent by artillery and rifle
fire, because we know that for every
English woman killed a moral effect
much greater than that which the death
of six men could produce would recOil
on the hands OF the English authori-
ties. Let them come, then, these

STRAW "LID" STILL ON
Spring Pioneer Vanlshes
When Broadway Crowd Jeers.

The first straw hat of the season was
seen in lower Broadway yesterday
morning. Who the wearer was none
learned. because when somebody in the
crowd that gathered in his wake yelled
"Shoot it" he took to his heels and
disappeared.
While the breeze and temperature
combined to drive chins below the
coat-collar level. the wearer of the
straw stepped from a hatter's. He
walked fully fifty feet along Broadway
before he found himself the leader of
n mob. Clutching his new headgear,
he dived into an Office building.
However, those persons who put their
faith in groundhOgs say the spell Of
winter is broken and that spring IS

Withheld Dear Oliver" Letter
Received by Miss Kaiser, Who
Denies Knowing James w.

Some Of the mystery cleared. and
some of it deepened. in the Osborne
Tarzer case yesterday.
Oliver Osborne-"Dear Oliver"-the
voluntary vindcator Of James W. Os-
borne, the criminal lawyer, was still
missing. United States Attorney Mar
shall admitted it for the first time, and
declared that he would very much like
TO find him.
The federal authorities are anxious,
however, for Mr.. o. Osborne to reap
pear as voluntarily as he did in the
first instance and not "have 70 be

confidence that the retiring witness

to defraud, brought by tie lawyer
whom she is suing for $4,000 on the
charge of breach of promise.
The theory of the federal authorities
is that Oliver Osborne, having come
forward last Friday and done his best
TO lift the stigma brought upon his
namesake, James W., by the Tame;
girl. began to worry about his chances
Of being held under the Mann act and
decided tc go into retirement. Mr..
Marshall was ready to reassure him on
that point yesterday.
Oliver Needn't Fear.

slave law, that Mr.. Oliver Osborne

81 should like to call attention to a
recent decision of Judge John c. Pol

States District Court of Kansas. The
facts and circumstances in the case be-
fore Judge Pollock were almost idcnti-
cal with those set forth in Oliver Os-
borne's statement relative TO taking the
Young woman in question to a neigh
boring state. Judge Pollock held that
the defendant had committed no crime
under the Mann act"
While expressing no opinion on the
Kansas decision as to its merits, Mr..
Marshall evidently believed that 1t
would be safe for Oliver to reappear
without fear of being inconvenienced
by the Mann act.
Meanwhile the search for Oliver by
Government agents was not abated.
The impression was gained that they
were fairly close on his trail, but did
not wish TO get too close, as it is in

sible in which to appear Of his own

said they had seen Oliver Osborne on
different occasions, and were able to
swear that James w. Osborne was not
Oliver. Each had an opportunity to
see James W., and both were positive
he was not the man they knew, or had
seen, travelling under the name OF
Oliver Osborne.
In the opinion OF Mr. Marshall, both
of the new witnesses furnished the
strongest corroboration of the Oliver

CRIES TO GERMANS,
HATE ALL ENCLISHr
Army Officer Tells
Mothers to InStil 1t
in Babes.

London, March 22.-Germany's feel
ing of hate for "the accursed English"
has seldom found a more extraordinary
or ridiculous expression than it does
in "The Lille War Gazette" weekly
newspaper issued in German by Ger
mans at Lille. To this journal Lieu
tenant Colonel Kaden contributes an
article entitled Fire" of which the
following is translation:
you men from Germany, east and
west, forced to shed your blood in de-
fence of your hor land through
England's envy and hatred of Ger
many's progress, feed the fame
that burns in your souls. We have
but one war cry-'God punish Eng
land' Hiss this to one another in the
trenches, and in the charge Miss as if
it were the subject of licking flames.
Behold in every dead comrade the sac
rifice forced from you by this accursed
people. Take the tenfold vengeance
for each hero's death. You German
people at home. feed this fire of hate.
You mothers, engrave this in the heart
of the babe at your breast. You thou
sands of teachers TO whom millions Of
German children look up with eyes
and hearts, teach hate, unquenchable
hate.
"You German fathers, let hatred be
inculcated in your children and it will
grow like landslide, irresistible from
generation TO generation. You farm
ers, proclaim it aloud over billowing
fields that the toiling peasant below
may hear you, that the birds of the
forest may fly away with the message
into the land, that the echoes from
German cliffs may send it reverberat-
ing like changing bells from tower to
tower throughout the countryside
Hate, hate the accursed, the English!

SORRY,
THERE'S NO


PRIZE!-I have been reading with
considerable interest lately the differ
ent views on the greatest fake in
Chicago. My, idea is no doubt rad
ical and pessimistic, but nevertheless
it is my honest opinion formed after
a number of years careful observa-
ton and study of people in and out of
Chicago.
The greatest fake in Chicago is the
people themselves. Why? Because
it is their fakish ideas and ideals that
make such little fakes as Billy Sun
day, the charities, morals squad, ex-
cellent street car service, two phones
and two or three hundred other little
fakes not only possible but absolutely
necessary.
This is a free country and the peo-
pie themselves only are responsible
for existing social evils, alias fakes.
1t is within our power to remedy these
evils and it is also up to us-it is our
