WOMAN KILLED BY
LAKE SHORE TRAIN
Mrs. Mary ]. Edwards Struck
on ErnSperger Steet
Crossing.

Failing either 10 see or 10 hear
the speeding west-bound Lake Shore
passenger train, Mrs. Mary ]. Ed
wards, 1901 Calvert St, was struck
and Immediately killed at a few min
utes after 2 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon at the S. Ernsperger st. cross
ing.
No signal whistle was blown for
the crossing, according 10 the state
ments of persons in the vicinity,
though 1S-year-old Hugh Branstra-
tor, 2513 Lincoln way w, Misha-
waka. who was following Mrs. Ed
wards over the crossing, was so
frightened that he could not speak
coherently of the accident. With all
of his might he ran 10 tell some
neighbors and then raced for home
as fast as he could.
Carried Umbrella.
Mrs. Edwards was carrying an
umbrella. and since there was a
driving rain from the east, she evil
IDENTIFY did not see the train until
il was upon her, and she had no
chance TO leap from the tracks.
She was struck only glancing blow
and thrown from the tracks some
% feet. Her head was driven into
the snow banked high at the north
side of the track and though many
bones were broken, except for few
scratches about the head and a cut
in her left side, she was not eX-
ternally injured.
According TO the statement of
William Weber. 2S17 Lincoln way
w, Mishawaka. who had stood on
his porch and watched the APP
preaching train until Il had almost
reached the crossing, the signal for
the crossing was not blown. He did
not consider that fact unusual since
ne said only about one-third OF the
passing trains give the warning
blasts.

 An invitation from the Presidens or the United States said MT Garret- son, IS tantamount to q command. If he summons us to Washington, we will go. But it must be understood that the president has no more powe. in this matter than the mediators."
 Although the mediators and the rail road managers refused to discuss the events of the day. MT. Garretson had no hesitation in doing so, saying that if mediation failed, he was under no further obligations to maintain secrecy about negotiations. He said the double compensation feature was the stumbl ing block
 MT. Garretson declared double com pensation agreements are in effect on virtually every railroad in the country and that they were won by the men, after serious efforts extending over a period of thirty years.
 Because the mediatorS could not give the trainmen assurance that the railroad would not revive the con tingent proposition" the men ad- journed until tomorrow at 10 o'clock, when the medators will again report.
 The next move is up to the railroad, MT Garretson said, in view of the fact ! that they hads requested the services of the meQiatOrS
