AlonzO Spencer. a sawmiil worker. of
Sharpsboro, No, lay unconscious in
the baggage room of the Frisco sta
ton until he was taken care of BY the
Salvation Army. He will be turned
over the county authorities this
morning. Efforts to have the Provi-
dent Association to care for the in
lur2d man were fruitless.
Spencer, after regaining conscious
ness AZ the headquarters OF the Sal
yation Army. told Il reporter for The
Tribune that he had been struck by
the train after he had suffered =
stroke, due to kidney trouble, Just AZ
the train reached him. He staggered
directly in front of the tran, he said,
and Was hit. That was the last he
remembered
Spencer was found by the crew
Of j switching train near the foot of
Independence street, when they return
ed from South Cope, where they had
taken few cars. Spencer was I'M
conscious when picked up. He was
taken to the station and placed in the
baggage room, where ne was kept till
nearly 9 o'clock. Dr.. II. L. Cunning
ham was called and dressed his in
'u"ics. He found deep cut on the
left side Of the head and deep cash
IL tie left hip.
The injured man was left uncon-
Scouts on the floor OF the baggage
com. He was not even covered with
blanket. although the room was almost
a cold as it was in the street. Al
tachcs of the station te!cphoned The
Tribune. complaining of the mans con
dition and neglect.
The Tribune made efforts TO get him
taken care Of for the night, but before
it had succeeded, John W Taylor, Fris-
co claim agent. learned of the mans
plight and made arrangements to have
him removed to the Salvation Army
headquarters.
No explanation was made for the
treatment afforded the victim, and en-
ployes of TIE Frisco did not know who
might be expected to look after him.
Ralph Burge, the engineer on the
switch engine, which struck Spencer, /
notified The Tribune last night that
no member Of the crew had witnessed
the accident.
81 really do not know that he was
struck by my train" said Burge, but
presume he was. A switchman call

came TO the Cape form ShaTp5boro to
buy a pair of boots. He said he had
a family living in a town in illinois,
but would rot disclose the name of the
place. He said he did not care to have
his relatives learn of his accident.
1t could not be learned last night
he had suffered fracture
Of the skull or not. Many, who learn
ID that he had been left unconscious

pressed the belief that the exposure

OAH SMUT PREVENTION

Washington, d. c., March 9--The av
erage annual losses from smut in oats
are greater than those caused by any
other preventable cereal disease in the
United States. Treating the seed with
hot water or with formaldehyde solu.
ton before sowing is an easy, cheap,
and effective way of preventing this
disease. The latter method, which is
the one most available for general use,
is here briefly summarized. Both meth
ods are described in detail in Farm
ers' Bulletin 507, which will be sent
free on application to the Secretary of
Agriculture, Washington, ID. G.
Mix the formalin "a commercial pre-
paration which is 81 per cent formalde-
hyde by weight) with water at the rate
of l pound { little less than pint)
to 40 gallons of water. The grain may
be either loosely inclosed in sacks or
put loose into a tub or vat with the So
luton. Agitate the sacks or stir the
loose grain occasionally so that the
entire surface of every grain will be
thoroughly wet. Instead of being I'm
mersed the seed oats may be spread on
clean floor or canvas and sprinkled
with the solution and shoveled over
during the process so that they will
be wet evenly as in the other method.
Not over gallon of solution will be
needed for every bushel Of dry grain.
After sprinkling, shovel the seed into
a pile, cover 1t with sacks wet with the
solution, and allow 1t to stand for at
least two hours before spreading it out
to dry.
Precautions: The oats may be seed
ed as soon as dry enough to run
through the drill. If the seed is still
moist, however, the drill must be set
to SOW more to the acre than If it is
dry. The quantity which should be
sown may be determined by measuring
given bulk before and after treat
ment and figuring the proportion of in
crease. After treating do not expose
the seed to freezing until it is thor
oughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed to
come into contact with old sacks, bins
or machinery in which there may be
smut spores. If such must be used,
scald them or wash them first with the
formaldehyde solution

bate in the assembly. One of the
most interesting speakers in behalf
of the measure was DR. Richie of
England. She propounded the ques-
tion, "Have men the moral right to
refuse progress to woman who quail
ifies herself in an honorable calling o.
She declared that women have been
forced to enter the struggle with men

lawyers are not giving up the fight,

eision only delays teh day when wo-
men can practice law in Quebec.

COAST GUARD WATCHING
THE IcEsERGS

lVlG 1SG6-nAO
Washington, March 9-The coast
guard cutter Tampa sails from Key
West today for New York, where she
will be fitted out for service in the
icy waters of the North Atlantic,
watching the icebergs drift and noti-
flying vessels by wireless of the posi-
tion of the drifting glaciers that are
breaking away from the arctic and
drifting southwark.
The coast guard cutter Seneca is
now on the Grand Banks doing ice
patrol duty, and is daily sending out
ice warnings. She will be relieved by
the Tampa, as soon as the latter is
equipped and ready for this service.
The daily warnings are picked up
by vessels equipped with radio appa-
ratus, and the mariners are thus able
to avoid the bergs. The Importance
of this system of safeguarding navi
cation was shown by the great disas
ter to the Titanic. Many other yes
sells have met their doom while speed
ing through the fogs on the ocean
routes to and from Europe. From
now until midsummer, these great
frozen ice masses will be crossing the
regular routes of steamer travel. The
cutters OF Uncle Sam become a clear
ing house for all information concern
ing these bergs. They gather from
other vessels and from their own oh
servation all the available informa
tion, and the engineers are able tc
tell the latitude and longitude from
day to day of every floating mass ot
ice.
The cadets at the Coast Guart
Academy ut New London, Conn, will
be taken ON the annual cruise in May
The cutter ltasca. which has been do
ing neutrality at San Juan and on the
Porto Rican coast, will be relieved fol
this duty.

misinterpret the universe. That may
not be safely done, even in trifles, for
none of us is far enough away from

risks. We need to be almost super
stitious in our fear of superstition, as
a reformed drunkard needs to avoid

Experts who have closely followed
the details OF warfare in Europe as
aert that the lesson Is obvious that In
fantry and cavalry are doing less exc
eution than artillery. Cannon are rep
resented as literally blasting roads
through every manner OF obstacle for
tho line to get forward. This being
the case. our problem of preparedness
is simplifed. No matter what plan
nay be devised. the building up of an
edlcient force Of 100000 to 10000
arms bearing soldiers will prove to bd
a colossal task. But with our facill.
ties for construction the vitals OF an
immense cannon power arc chiefly
matters Of money, metal and mechan-
ieal skill. Cannon will keep, and un-
loaded shells will keep with the up
70 date appliances for getting range
the production Of an efficient artillery
man h as easy as that OF training an
efficient cavalry or infantry soldier.
The artillery arm Of service never goes
begging for recruits and gets the best.
Army experts say that our artillery
has not only been sighted In the past,
is weaker today than 1t should be. but
that plans for army increase do not
call for adequate strength in artillery.

That there should be reported a
heavy falling off In immigration was
TO be expected. The slump for the
six month period ending Dec. 81, 1916,
was very marked. 1t is of interest to
note the classes affected. In the last
half OF 1915 the greatest falling of
was In Hebrew and southern Italian
immigrants. England. Holland, France.
Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia and
Scotland furnished upward OF so per
cent OF the newcomers In the last six
months of 1915 and 43 per cent OF the
fiscal year OF 1915. This fiscal year
practically covered the first year OF
the European war. In which FIVE OF
these countries were engaged. Ger
many furnished over 10000 during the
year, but probably many OF them were
