Bring Up a Child in the Way
He Should Co." Loses
Its Force.

Brave is the clergyman who dares to
preach sermon on how to bring up
children when mis- own four-year
son fidgets around in the family pew.
The Rev Andrew Magill, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, Clinton
Avenue and Fulton Street, Jamaica,
knows this to be true.
His sermon yesterday morning was
on childhood and Youth" Mrs. Ma
gill and Charley, the four-year-old
pride of the family, were in their usual
seats, we'll toward the front on the
centre aisle.
Charley was not bit interested. He
stood up on the green cushion, executed
what looked like an original war dance,
slapped one Of the pillars with his
small hands, and then ran by his moth
er into the aisle. He returned over
the back of the pew, landing in his
mothers lap.
Then, while the congregation sup
pressed its giggles, Mr.. Magill an
nounced this text: Bring up child
in the way he should go, and when he
is old he will not depart therefrom."

training children than ! did ten years
ago." added the clergyman, with a
smile. "Some of my theories don't
seem to work out. One thing | will
say, if a certain incident had hap
pened outside the church ! could have
controlled it more effectively"
In his sermon the pastor mentioned
the rod as "A commendable agent in

FULL CREW LAW
STANDS IN PENN.
Gov. Brumbaugh Vetoes
Repeating Act and
Hints at a Lobby.

Harrisburg, Penn, June 20.-Gov-
amor Brumbaugh announced tonight
that he had vetoed the bill designed 70
reneal the full crew law of Pennsyi-
vania. passed by the recent Legislature
Irrdar tho terms of the measure, which
was opposed by employees of the rail-
roads and labor organizations general
", the Public Service Commission
would have been empowered to require
railroads to employ an adequate num-
Der of men on trains.
The Governor, after reviewing the
campaign inaugurated by the railroads
to secure the passage of the bill, in ms
veto message states that members OF
the Legislature informed him they had
been subjected to the pleadings OF
"large and persistent lobby" until the
measure had passed. All the discussion,
the Governor says, revolved around one
additional employe required by the
present law, above the number necessar-
ily and willingly carried by the com
panies. Tbs extra man, he says, has
added materially TO the safety OF the
travelling public.
at has been proclaimed" Governor
Brumbaugh states. that the loss OF life
since the present law became operative
has been substantially reduced, II not
eliminated, so far as passengers are
concerned, and that this is due not so
much to the manning Of the passenger
trains as TO the fact that freight trains
do not menace passenger tratiic. The
additional man is not always busy, but
he is needed when the unusual occurs,
and his presence may save life or
property, or both"
Referring to the argument of the
railroads that the full crew law added
to the cost of opera Jon, the Governor
cites the fact that the companies have
within a year received increased freight
rates by action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and adds:
They had scarcely secured the in
creased rate until steps were taken to
repeal ttC law requiring this full crew.
This situation has definite bearing upon
the action now taken
The Governor says the railroad COM
panies deserve fair consideration, the
same that is guaranteed to the hum
blest citizens, and no more" and that
il "they can demonstrate to him within
the next two years that the law now
in operation is not fair TO them and
to employees, it will be the duty Of all
officials TO do justly by them"

TRUSTY SUSPECTED
OF BURNING WOMAN
Negro Convict In Illinois Prison
Believed to Have Killed and
Cremated Warden'S Wife.

Joliet, H., June 20.-Mrs. Edmund
N. Allen, wife of the warden OF the
Illinois penitentiary, was found dead
to-day in her bed, which was on fire
at the time. A committee Is investi-
eating TO determine whether she acct
dentally set herself on fire or was
slain and burned by George Campbell,
a negro prisoner. who served the war
denis family as personal servant. Mr..
Allen was out o. town to-day.
A jug partly filled with wood slco-
hol was found in the bedroom after
the fire was eStinguished. and mem
bers of the investigating committee
said il was possible that some Of this
fluid had been used in an effort to ere
mate Mrs. Allen. Campbell. who is a
trusty, serving an indeterminate term
for manslaughter committed IN Chi
cago. told the committee the following
story:
"Warden Allen left for West Baden,
Ind, last night. About 6 o'clock this
morning Mrs. Allen called me and
asked for the morning papers. which
got. Then | placed some ice water
by the bed in which she lay and took
her pet dog outdoors. as | do every
morning. When l returned l saw
/ smoke issuing from the Allen apart
ments on the third floor. John Simp-
| son and another trusty were trying to
fight their way through the smoke in
| Mrs. Aliens room. We called the
prison fire department"
A half hour fight extinguished the
blaze. which seemed centred around
Mrs. Aliens body. The flames had al
most destroyed the bed and had
charred the body of Mrs. Allen.
The condition of the body prevented
a satisfactory examination to deter
mine whether Mrs. Allen had been at
tackled previously to the fire. but two
members of the committee said that
Campbell probably would be charged
with Staying Mrs. Allen.

Iron tt, Trisun, Bureau

Washington, June 20.-Without any
word whatever from Admiral Howard,
in command of the naval force sent
to rescue the American colonists in
Lower California in peril from the
Yaoui Indians, administration officials
were anxious tonight as to the out
come, especially in view of the mes
sage from Genera, Msytorena, in com
mand Of the Villa forces in that vi
cinity, that any landing Of American
forces would be resisted.
The cruiser Colorado, with 300 ma
rines and $50 sailors aboard, was due
20 arrive at the port nearest the
threatened Americans at noon to-day.
A dispatch from San Diego says the
supply ship Glacier has been fitted
out to follow the Colorado ana Chat
tanooga and loaded with army auto
mobiles for the transportation Of any
force that may be landed.
May Not Have to Land.
IL was pointed out here by friends
Of the administration, however, that
the sending Of 700 troops by General
Maytorena TO the scene Of trouble
probably would make the landing Of
American marines unnecessary. The
Villa troops, it was said, would be
ample to protect the Americans from
the Yaquis.
The Constitutionalist agency here
received the following message to-day
from Vera Cruz:
ION account Of personal feeling
growing out OF press controversy
between sub-Secretaries Palavichini
and Essudero Verdugo, the latter pre-
sented his resignation, as we'll as Lies
Zuoaran and Urueta, which were ac-
copied"
Governor Aguilar, according 70 an
other dispatch TO this agency. issued
q decree to-day prohibiting the man
ufacture and sale of pulque in the
State of Vera Cruz. The same meas
ure is likely to be adopted IN other
states.
Mexico City will probably be re-
occupied by Constitutionalist forces
within twenty-four hours. Ohregon
reports that he is moving north on
Aguas Calientes.
The Constitutionalist agency is also
informed that General Angeles and his
staff arrived in Juarez Friday night,
and it is reported that Angeles intends
70 take refuge in the United States.
Part Of his staff are in FL Paso and part
in Juarez, but according to the mes
sage all declare they will not return TO
the front.
"They are keeping themselves seclud-
ed" says the Constitutionalist dispatch,
"from all except their intimate friends,
and all admit that the recent defeat at
Leon was a ritual humiliation of the
Villista forces and that Villas days are
numbered"
