MARGARET WILSON IS
HURLED FROM CARRIAGE
Presidents Daughter and Blanch
Bates Narrowly Escape Injury.

Miss Margaret Wilson, eldest daugh-
ter Of the President Blanche Bates, the
actress, and the latter's husband,
George Creel' were hurled from their
carriage on Sunday when the horse
they were driving bolted and dashed
madly down a country roadway near
Croton ON the Hudson. All were bruised
and shaken, but Miss Wilson had recov-
cred sufficiently yesterday to return to
her home.
For several days past the Presidents
daughter had been stopping with
Blanche Bates at her summer home,
near Ossining. As Mr.. Creel was
driving his wife and her guest to
picnic that was to be given by
Holbrook Blinn the shaft of the car
rage broke, causing the horse to
take fright. Mr. Blinn rushed TO the
scene of the accident in his automobile
and carried Miss Wilson and Mrs. Creel
to the Creel home, where they were
treated by DR.. R. L. Wern, of Ossin-
ing.

100000 NOn-UniOn r. K.
Men Appeal Against Strike

The ~ per cent OF railroad employees
of America who are not members of the
railroad brotherhoods, who get less
than half the pay of the members Of
the brother,oods, and who would be
thrown out of employment, regardless
of their wishes, If the brotherhoods in
augurate strike, got an opportunity
yesterday to voice a protest to Con-
gress.
R. T. Frazier, an employe of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railroad. arrived at the Hotel Mar
Unique yesterday morning bearing a
petition to be signed by railroad men
who are not members of the brother
hoods. It is addressed TO the Congress
of the United States, and asks that
Congress provide some proper means
of arbitration between employees of the
railroads and the railroad officials.
Frazier already has 100000 sigma
lures to the petition. He gathered 1000
of these in a two days stopover in
Chicago. After a brief stay in New
York he will work back again among
the railway centres of the Middle West,
and at an early date-he would not say
how soon-the petition will be for
warded to Congress.
Frazier believes that the brother
hoods are asking more than a Benja-
Minis share of railroad prosperity.
1.-THE men for whom | am circulating
this petition" he said last night, re
ceive wages that are less than half the
pay that is given 10 the men Of the
brotherhoods. The brotherhoods repre-
sents only % per cent of the men, yet
these excellently paid men hold it in
their power, and threaten to exercise
that power, to throw the other 72 per
cent Of railroad employees out of work.
The 100000 men who have signed this
petition believe that the Federal gov
eminent ought to legislate away any

But 100000 Collars Dis
pute Figures of the
Weather Man.
HUMIDITY RAN
MERCURY A RACE
More than a Score Were Pros
trated-COoler Tomorrow
Maybe!

More than a score of persons in
Manhattan ard The Bronx and six
others in Brooklyn were overcome yes
terday by the combined attack Of
hot south wind, humidty-charged at
mosphere and a temperature which
lowered about the SO mark nearly all
day.
The record breaking day broke
promptly at 4:5S a. m. Nobody was
around then except the milkmen, and
they were too busy fighting mosquitoes
TO take any observations. At o'clock.
however, in his bistering den on the
top of the Whitehall Building, which
swelters in the corrosive breezes aris-
ing from the bay, the weather fore
caster squinted at his thermometer.
Even at that early hour the mercury
had reached the 18th degree. The
weather man shook his head sadly and
wished he had a nice cool job as a
street cleaner or something. He rested
for an hour and the mercury did the
same. By 10 o'clock, however, the slug
gish mercury showed some progress.
and by lying in wait for il he weather
man caught it at IS degrees at 1880 p.
m. That was the hottest moment of
the day, thermometrically speaking.
But starch, not mercury, is the only
trt a.o oh non
collars announced that it wss way up
above co.
The moral to that is that while the
mercury loafed the humidity was
doing some really clever work. 1t
started out with SO at o'clock, and
didn't bulge until after the morning
rush hour was over at 10 o'clock.
Grudgingly it let 10 points slip away
from it in the next hour, and then
frightened up for the lunch hour.
At noon the humidity was batting
rs. which would be a pretty fair figure
for s o'clock in the morning, when IL
usually does its best work. At 9 o'clock
last night it was 10, and the tenn
perature vas So.
When it rained during the afternoon
the weather man missed out again. Up
in Central Park, where his instruments
are, .O2 of an inch came pelting down.
He admitted, though, that il was "sn
exceptionally heavy downpour in the
northern part Of the city and adjacent
sections of New Jersey"
For to-day the forecaster promises
CONTINUED warm" with scattered show
ers. Tomorrow, he thinks, will be fair
and not so warm.

MEDIATORS BEAR
WILSON'S PLEA
Continued from page l

uation, it was intimated to-day, is that
the unions, having made their boasts
of tying up the roads in a general
strike, are finding it hard 20 save their
faces" before their members. There is
a general desire to avoid break, but
union officials, it is understood, are
afraid yielding TO mediation will be
construed as a weakness of position
which will react against their organiza-
tlons.
President Wilson, following his re-
turn from his weekend on the May
flower. conferred with Frank p. Walsh,
of the Industrial Relations Commission,
on the strike developments. Although
the latter declined 70 discuss what took
place. it is understood that he urged
the President not TO intervene in any
way in the situation. In speech TO
labor men in New York last night
Walsh took a similar position, and told
the men not 10 submit 10 arbitration.
One Of the chief difficulties worrying
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-08-08

More than any other body concerned
in the streetcar strike. the New York
police welcome peace.
Patrolmen, traffic and bridge squads
and all the others connected with the
department were on the job nearly
twenty-four hours a day. With little
interest in the fight, with nothing
gained no matter what the terms of
settlement, the bluecoats were working
their hardest to see that the peace was
kept.
New York policemen gave up
their vacations and their outings, their
homes and their rest TO see that the
car strike was run according to the
rules. In more than one place 300 were
quartered where eighty ought to be.
Those who couldn't find beds tried to
sleep on boards.
Along the Eighty-sixth Street cross
town line yesterday a patrolman with
his coat open at the throat leaned
against railing writing with aestub
of a pencil. His face was screwed
into a grimace and perspiration stood
out all over il.
what do you think you're doing?"

officials in connection with the pro-
posed strike is the question of carry
ing the mails. The government cannot
consent to their complete stoppage,
which wiuld demoralize the entire bust
ness of the country. Nor is the 'Presi-
dent able to compel their delivery by
the railroads or to prohibit any inter-
ference with their delivery by the
strikers. Unless some scheme of i'm
munity i. worked oJt By which both
sides will consent to allow the contlnu-
ance of the mail service. it is under

of Congress for authority to deal with
the situation.

MT. VERNON'S PLAGUE
HOSPITAL IS STORMED
Mob of 1900 Attacks Police
Fence Torn Down.

A mob of 1900 italian men, women
and children stormed the Isolation Hos
pital for Infantile Paralysis at Mount
Vernon last night and attacked three
policemen on guard. They tore down
the picket fence. struck one Of the pa
trolmen and tried to stab another. The
blow fell short, cutting the hand of Pa
trolman Lesser.
The attack was caused by the report
that the Young Mems Hebrew Associa-
ton clubhouse, which was within n
block of the Italian settlement, had
been leased as a hospital for infantile
paralysis. Threats have been made to
burn down the place, but Deputy
Sheriff Acallone now has the settle
ment Gained. Efforts will be made TO
lease another place. since Mayor Fiske
does not wish to alarm the Italians
needlessly.

HE'S BACK AGAIN! WHO?
BAYONNE'S BAD NAN
To Celebrate, He Shoves Fist
Through Saloon Windows.

Bayonne's bad man returned last
night, although he had been solemnly
warned by magistrate several months
ago to never again show his face in
the State Of New Jersey" His name
is Dooley-John Dooley-address or
dinarily. Anywhere, except in the
State of New Jersey"
The lure Of Bsyonne's white lights
overpowered Dooley, after almost q
years exile, ard Re renewed acquaint-
ances last night. In his haste to grasp
the hands Of old friends he stuck his
friendly fist through half-dozen
saloon windows on Bayonne's Broad
way.
While the police watched DR.. Hatcher
bandage up Dooley's wounded hands In
the Bayonne Hospital, Dooley was
docile, but once the hands were
dressed. he arose from his cot and
struck DR.. Hatcher fairly on the jaw.
This love tap lost for Dooley the COM
forts of hospital cot for the night.
Instead. he slept on a board in the
Bayonne Jail and nursed his own
bruised and cut fists,

Motor Box Blows Out.

Late yesterday afternoon the motor
box on another Steinway car, operated
by a strikebreaker motorman, blew
out. Twenty passengers were riding in
it at the time, and in the wild rush
for the rear exit that followed the ex-
plosion, four men were knocked down
and trampled. George Daley, a mem
Der of the Fire Department, was
standing on the front platform. His
arm was fractured when he attempted
to catch piece of the boX's covering
that was projected toward the pas
sengers inside.
The eighth injury for which the
strike is responsible was sustained by
John O'Connor, a Waterman at the
Ford automobile plant in Long Island
City, run down by a car of the Shuttle
Line, operated by strikebreaker, who
was unable to use his brakes, as
O'Connor stepped on the tracks.
Seventy-hve cars were operated
throughout yesterday by the New York
and Queens County Railway, those on
the more important lines running
practically on schedule. Company off
cials assert that many more trolleys
will be used to-day, establishing a
service that is almost normal.

His nose was broken and his body bad

vote of thanks was waiting to console
him for his injuries. No complaint was
made TO the police.

General Manager Declares
Union Will Never Be
Recognized.
MANY SMALL RIOTS
ALONG ALL LINES
StrikebreakerS Attacked and
Beaten and Cars Stoned Un-
Ill Traffic Stops.

"The peaceful settlement Of the
car mems strike in Manhattan will have
no effect on the Staten Island situa-
tion. The Richmond Light and Rail
road Company is prepared to have
more than 100 strikebreakers operat-
ing its trolleys tomorrow, and VIII
continue to refuse recognition OF the
trolleymen's union"
This was the defiance issued by
William R. Rand. general manager OF
the Staten Island trolley system, to
his employees, who had been riotlng
and stoning his cars from sunrise
until the last car was run into the
barns not long before o'clock
last night. His announcement came
at the very moment when the sta
tionary engineers on Staten Island, re-
sponsible not only for the power that
operates the trolley cars, but for the
lighting of the entire borough, were
declaring their readiness TO enter
strike that would express their SYM
pathy for the trolleymen.
The fremen were ready to leave
their furnaces at midnight last night
They were held at their posts only by
rigorous orders issued from Manhat-
tan by Coroner Timothy Healy' presi-
dent Of the International Brotherhood
of Stationary Firemen, who feared that
if Staten Island was plunged into dark
ness the peaceful settlement OF the
Manhattan strikes might De Jeo-
pardized.
Most Riotous of Boroughs.
Staten Island was the most riotous
yesterday of any of the four boroughs
to which the strike has extended.
Striking motormen and conductors
fiocked about the central transfer
points, stoned the cars, jerked strike
breakers from their posts, and assault
ed those who resisted them.
At the car barns in New Brighton q
mob of 100 strikers and sympathizers
halted a trolley car as it was coasting
to the tracks outside, seized the motor
man, beat him unconscious, and then
dispersed before police reserves could
rush 10 the scene. At the height of
the riot some one fired a revolver, but
the bullet went wild. Frank Hickett.
a striking motorman, was arrested
later as a participant in the brawl.
IN Broad Street, Stapleton, a car
under the protection Of two uniformed
policemen was stoned by strikers. One
missile knocked from the front plat
form the strikebreaker motorman, who
climbed back 10 his motor and resumed
his duties. The riots continued all
day.
Only twenty-five trolleys on all
Staten Island were in operation yes

Boards Authority Limited.

"The commission only has authority
over rates, etc, on interstate traffic, and
has no control over matters that are
wholly within a state. If authority is
conferred on the commission by Con-
gress TO fix and exercise control over
wages il would apply only to employees
whose runs are from one state to an
other.
"Inasmuch as the bulk of trainmen
work wholly within one state, il would
result in the worst muddle possible. A
few employees would have their wages
fixed by the United States and the rest
would stand just where they are now.
"The claim made by the railroads
that as the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has authority over freight
rates it should also have authority over
rates of pay is a clever and seemingly
plausible argument, put forward TO Sc
cure public sympathy.
The commission has always taken
cognizance of wages and labor costs in
passing upon freight rates. One Of the
leading arguments of the railroads in
making application for authority TO ad-
vance their freight rates has been that
outlays for employees have increased,
and as a consequence that they should
be permitted TO charge more for their
services"

SIMPLE Diet, FRESH
AIR AND EXERCISE
Are Recommended BY Or. Dix
on As the Only Spring tonic.

Or. Samuel G. Dixon, Pennsylva.
MAS State Commissioner of Health,
makes the following statements rela-
tive to health and hygiene as it per.
tains to spring fever. etc.
Let your spring tonic prescription
read something as follows
/. Eat meat but once a day and
sparingly
> Those not under the doctors
care should take glass Of water be
fore retiring for the night and one
an hour before breakfast.
3. Get all the fresh air possible
4 Sleep with your windows open.
). See that your clothing is heavy
enough to protect YOU against sud-
den changes of weather.
6 Walk in the open air five or six
miles day
With the honk of wild geese flying
northward the patent medicine and
home remedy manufacturers seem in.
spired anew and there follows wave
of spring tonic advertisements.
The tonic which the vast majority
Of individuals need at this period Of
the year is fresh air, exercise and sim,
pier diet. Owing to weather condi-
tons many Of our activities are re-
stricted in the winter time. There
is also tendency to eat excessively
Of meat and fatty foods. As a re-
suit, when the spriug arrives with its
warm days many Of US are like fur
mace that has been 50 ehoked with
fuel that it doesn't draw well.
You cannot buy relief from these
conditions at dollar bottle Medi
cine viii not make up for over eating
and under exercising The high
death rate which almost invariably
prevails at this season Of the year
from pneumonia. tuberculosis and
other respiratory diseases is largely
due TO the reduced physical resistance
of individuals which makes them
particularly sensitive when the sud
den changes of temperature occur
which are common at this time OF
The year
Old people are most susceptible as
they ara housed more closely during
lie winter time than young folks.
