The B. r. 7. wreck on the Brighton
line. which had caused eighty-nine
deaths up to last night, was the sub
jcct Of two inquiries yesterday. one
conducted by the Mayor and District
Attorney Harry Z. Lewis of Kings and
the other by United States Attorney
France, Of Brooklyn.
The former, q J John Doe session, aims
to put those responsible for the acci-
/ dent, whether members of the train
crew or officials of the company, in iail
for manslaughter. The Federal in
quiry was undertaken because of the
fOuting by the B. R. 7. of the national
War Labor Boards recommendations
and may end in the revocation of the
systems franchises and government
control
Anthony Edward Lewis, who was at
the controller of the wrecked train,
though alleged to have been without
/ experience as q motorman, and Samuel
Rosof, the conductor, were held with
out bail in the Flatbush police court on
charge of homicide. Michael Turned.
guard. is under arrest. but had not
recovered from his injuries sufficiently
to be arraigned.
Political Feud Forgotten
The Public Service Commission, de-
spite a renewal of it's feud with the
Mayor, put its entire force of electrical
and equipment experts at the service
of the Mayor and District Attorney
Lewis, setting them all to work exam
ining the scene of the wdeck and col
ccting evidence. Their complete report
is expected Tomorrow
Mayor Hylan, who sat as commit
ting magistrate in the John Doe in
quiry, took fling at the Public Ser
vice Commission in IL letter to Alfred
Il. Smith, in which nc referred to the
failure of the Public Service Com
mission to adopt regulations which
would prevent green motormen from
operating trains"
To this the Public Service Commits
sion retorted that the charge was un-
just and was an attempt to make po-
litical capital Of the tragedy.
Public Service Commissioner Kracke
asserted that the failure of the b. r. T.
to comply with the recommendations
fthe National War Labor Board in
reinstating discharged motormen and
thus avoiding the strike was the "pri-
mary cause" of the disaster, and that
by its action the company "has for
feted any claim it ever had to the con-
fdencc OF the public" Chairman Hub
bell said, however. that if the men had
given notice of their intention the
strike might have been avoided.
Strike Is Settled
James b. Walker, secretary to the
e""H'sSioH, Salu that inc Stf1kc or rne
motormen had been settled before the
wreck, although the agreement was not
announced until after it.
Sixty-one OF those injured in the
wreck are still in hospitals. The mo-
tornan is said to have admitted that
the train was doing thirty miles an
hour when the crash came. adding.

UNCLE SAM CALLS YOU

Unle Sam is calling you. He has helped you many a time. Now you must help him, by buying Thrift Stamps. One stamp costs twenty-five cents. Everyone should have one in- stead of buying candy, cigars, cigar cites and other things you don't need. In five years the government will pay you back.
 Girls and boys can help too. The government has made this way for them to help. The boys and girls of '76 loved their country and General Washington too. They didn't want the cruel king of England to lay his hands on them again. There were drummer boys only eleven and twelve years old. We don't want Germany to lay her hands on us. Don't be asleep. Wake up!
 You will never win the war by sit ting at home and eating ice cream and cake, and taking it easy. Buy a Thrift card and stamp today.

WORK FOR THE JUNIOR RED
 CROSS

Tn the grammar and high shools the work is progressing very nicely in the various grades.
 A sample of the first grade weav- ing was sent to St. Louis to head quarters and Mrs. Box has received notice for her pupils to weave rugs for the hospitals.
 The children in the grammar grades are knitting afghans for the soldiers and for the Belgian babies, also wash cloths and scarfs. If you have any scraps of yarn, please send it over to the school to Miss Harder, so that the squares may be knitted for the sol- dier afghans. We can use any color and even the smallest pieces.
 "Every little bit helps"
 In the fifth grade they are making the gun wipes, cut from any soft ma terial. These are four inch squares and more material is needed, so any, thing you can contribute will be greatly appreciated by Mrs. Best.
 Mrs. c. R. Pate has kindly loaned us the use of her machine, so that, under the able directions of Miss IT, by. Miss Carmichael and Mrs. Ford, twenty-five property bags have been made. A call has been made for other mochine-made articles, so if any one has a machine not in use, please notify us and we will be glad to send for it.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 23.-Realizing that within short time all the coal production of the country will be re- quired for government use, especial ly in the movement of ships over seas, it is officially announced that the government is preparing to store six months supply of coal at Camp Pike. It is probable that the same course will be pursued at other camps. This is the policy that the fuel administration has insisted upon for all consumers of coal, so that when the time comes, there will be enough coal released for national purposes.

100000 BOUGHT BONDS
Treasury Estimates one-Fourth of the
Population of the Country Invest
ed in Fourth Liberty Loan.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 21.-Proba-
bly, 25,0O0,000 or more individuals
bought bonds of the fourth Liberty
loan, unofficial reports reaching Wash
ington today showed. A large pro-
portion of these filed their subscrip-
tons during the last few days of the
campaign which ended Saturday night.
Consequently, it will be a task of
many days to actually count the
number of pledges and to compile re-
ports from the entire country.
Definite figures and the total sub
scriptions TO the loan were not avail
able here today. Local. and district
campaign managers, fatigued with
their arduous duties of the solicita-
ton work, rested Sunday and did not
start until today to figure up the
avalanche of last minutes purchases.
The only official figures in hand here
were of Friday night, showing about
81, 100000 yet TO be subscribed.
Despite this total lack of definite
information, officials were confid
that the $4,000. 100000 popular war
credit had been oversubscribed. This
belief was based on indications that
advance promises of large sums from
financial interests in New York and
elsewhere would be found to be full
filed when the final count is made.

WOULD FORBID FURTHER TALK
Would Call OF Negotiations Until
the Hun Surrenders,

Washington. d. c., Oct. Ex-senator
PoindeXter of Washington. republican,
has introduced joint resolution pro,
posing that congress forbid further
negotiations by the United States
9Th Germany. looking to the granting
of an armistice or peace until the
German military forces have surrend,
cred Internationally. 1t was referred
to the foreign relations committee.
The resolution further calls for the
prosecution of the war with the ut
most vigor and the occupation and
control by the allies of such German
territory as can be obtained by our
military forces until peace negotia-
tons have been concluded. 1t would
declare it unlawful for any official OF
the American government to answer
in any way any note. message or
representation from the German gov,
eminent or the German people or from
any official representing to represent
them on the subject OF peace or an
armistice until the German armed
forces shall have surrendered.

RAINBOW DIVISION WAS IN THE
THICK OF THE FIGHT.

In letter written in August to his
mother, Mrs. Frank Souter, of Rose
Hill, Cortes Souter says:
Back for a rest at last. Sure W"
some experience up in the big show,
and our boys did all that was expect
ed of them. 1t would surprise you
to know the amount of captured Ger.
man ammunition and other equip
ment that fell into our hands. When
you are helping on Liberty Loan sub
scriptions or other war work, and
some one says that it seems like they
are always giving, just remind them
of what happened at Sergey The
town changed hands nine times, and
ended in our possession. The boys
who kept going until twas ours, were
no other than boys from home. Who
would think that they would drive
back the Flower of the German
Army" (the Prussian guard) in that
manner? Well, we did it, and can
do it at any time Never was any
doubt in the minds of the boys what
they would do. Not saying that in
a Boosting way, either.
Those days the life was TO dig iE
move forward and dig in again, always
under shell fire. One soon learns
when to duck and when not 20. |
think the worst experience is to be
bombed at night by aeroplane. It's
not so bad, but one can lie on the
ground and see the plane, and mag
inc it right over one. Then comes
the swish, followed by binding
flash and loud explosion. But al
ways after an invoice, find l am still
intact.
Had quite an e"pe- fence one after
noon when | was lost and started the
wrong way, and so followed an infan-
try attack. Saw the lines of our
boys scattered across the fields charge
forward in the face of both machine
gun and shell fire, and carry the Ger
man positions without halt. Sure
was some sight!
We acted as stretcher bearers part
of the time, and never did we hear a
groan from the wounded men. All
seemed eager to get back. We dress
ed few slight wounds and saw the
men go back to have another chance
at them.
From the way we have them going,
we are going TO be back with you
even before we had planned. Sure
would surprise you the way the reo-
pie here have changed. When we
were coming from the front on the
train we were always busy waving at
the people along the track.

FOR POULTRY MEN
ADVICE AGAINST oVERFEEDINc
CHICKENS PENCiNG SALE

OF course, no Iowa producer ever
overrceds a chicken just before offer
ing il for sale.
Nevertheless, Washington advises
against it, because the practice is
likely to result in loss of poultry and
no one who INDUCES in it can hope to
make any net profit.
The county food administrator of
this county is advised by United
States Food Administrator ]. F. Deems
that feed given poultry closely con-
fined in crates cannot safely exceed
one ounce of grain or other dry feed
for every two pounds of live weight
Persons who may be tempted to feed
heavily just before marketing, in the
hope of receiving poultry prices for
the feed contained in the birds crops,
should learn that in actual practice
this means the less both in money and
food. Birds frequently die in wagons,
but, more often, shortly after they are
tanned which is ultimately reflected
back to producers.
Poultry in crates is unable to eX-
ercise. More than that. the watering
cups are seldom adequate for all the
fowls in the crate, either from lack of
attention, evaporation. losses from
spilling or several of these causes
combined.
Feed consequently cakes in the over
full crops, causing sickness ana death.
In warm weather, heavy feeding also
results in overheating and is another
cause Of mortality.
The Food Administration points out
| the desirability of more water and less
feed for poultry just before marketing,

ATTEMPTED TO BURN SCHOOL
Dutch institution at Suily Attacked
and Torch Applied to Oil
Soaked Walls.

Newton, Oct. 19.-An effort was
made Wednesday to burn the Holland
Christian school at Sully, it was
learned here today. About 5000 dam
ages are reported to the building and
furniture. There is no clue as yet to
who did il.
The Christion school at Sully has
been reported to have been thorn
in the flesh" for some months past.
A number of efforts were made last
spring and summer TO have tn" board
of education of that school close the
school until after the war is over.
Some members of the council of de
Tense went to Sully to try to reason
with the board but all attempts to
have the school closed were in vain.
Evidently those interested in the
school there had fears that some one
might attempt to burn the building
for the buiidinsshas been guarded ev.
cry night for months past, it is said
On Wednesday morning the guards
went off duty about o'clock. But
about thirty minutes after the guards
went back to the place it was discov
cred that the interior of the building
was in flames. Help was summoned
at once and The fire eXtinguished, but
not until several seats had been de
stroyed and a circular hole about eight
feet in diameter was burned in the
| floor.
Investigation indicated contents Of
three gallon coal oil can had beer
thrown on the floor and around the
walls before the torch was applied.

RUIN DESCRIBED BY BISHOP
Arras Prelate Tells of Wanton De.
struction OF 800 churehee-oe-
mands Revenge for Vandalism.

New York, Oct. 49, - Destruction
by the Germans of more than 800
churches in his own diocese, for
which there was no military neces-
sity," was described here today by
the Ri. Rev. Eugene Louis Julien,
bishop of Arras, who, with the Rt.
Rev. P. w. Heating, bishop of North
.ampton, England; MonsignOr Alfred
Baudrillart, rector Of the Catholic
university Of Paris, member of the
French academy, and other French
dignitares, is on his way to Balti-
more TO felicitate Cardinal Gibbons
on the fiftieth anniversary Of his con.
secration to the episcopate.
IL am glad to know that France and
America are of one opinion in their
determination to bring Germany to
her knees. The force of public
opinion is assurance to the world
that its leaders cannot be tricked into
negotiating a premature peace. I'm
conditional surrender of Germany is
inevitable" the prelate said.
In telling of the devastation wrought
by the enemy, the bishop said that
before the capture of Bapaume by
the British on Aug. 20, the Germans
planted clock bombs throughout the
city, timed to explode when the al
lied troops arrived A member OF
the French chamber of deputies, a
friend of his, he said, was killed by
one of these bombs in the Bapaume
city hall, thus confirming the stor'
les of German violation of the laws
of war"
"The French people are delighted
with the American soldiers said
Bishop Julien. They find them
brave, enthusiastic, generous, singu
larly religious and a wonderful exam
pie of sincerity and practical piety"

CHURCHES NoN-EssENTIAL.
Erection Of New Edifices Must Be
Postponed Until War is over.

Iowa Falls, Oct. 21.-New church
buildings are apparently classed as
non.essentials at Washington, judg-
ing by the experience of the church
society at Point Pleasant in this cOun-
ty. Last May the church building at
the Point which, by the way, was to
have been the county seat of this
county because of it's central location,
was destroyed by cyclone. Seeking
to rebuild the edifice the society APP
piled to the bureau of military affairs
and the proposition was approved by
that body. But on being submitted
to the war industries board at Wash
ington, the application was declined
and the improvement will have TO
wait until the war is over.
