Leland News

Q That the happiness of this joy
Gus Christmas and the glad New
Year may be the pleasure of the ed
itor and many readers of the Gaz-
cite, is the wish of your Leland cor
respondent.
Christmas here was observed in a
quiet way, owing to the prevalence
of smallpox and the flu. Both Of
these maladies are still asserting
themselves The thrt cases of flu
which developed recently is confined
to the home where it originally de-
veloped. Four of Henry Peters
children are down with the malady,
so we gre informed.
Church services as yet are very
meagerly attended, as everyone is
afraid of the contagion. But SER
vices of high order are being
missed by those who stay away.
Leland has preacher who is GER
tainly worthy of the name and the
people generally manifest their
good will toward Rev. Roberts and
family.
This cold weather is certainly fine
only we would like nice blanket
of snow to cover the bumps and
rough places that we might have
some good shedding.
The boys who so recently return
ed from Moscow where they were
under military. rule seem to enjoy
their freedom. How about it,
Walter and Myron?
A. H. Smith and party. who went
on a hunt for the festive, fleet
footed sort says, "We had a good
time"
The school has been closed for the
week, to resume work after the holt
days.
A report that one OF our citizens
of the elder sort had taken to him
self a companion to share with him
his ills and joys seems to be unsup-
ported by facts. How about it, ye
who know?
Rev. Roberts and family were
guests at the McGhee home on
Christmas day.
A family dinner occasion was en-
joyed at the A. H. Smith home on
Christmas day.
They say the largest man in town
is the man who buys his wood al
ready split.

CameIs In war.

Camels in war are stationed among
clumps of acacia trees, with spy
mounted on camel's neck. This Is
the safest place, for the camel, stand
ing with only his head above the trees,
looks like bit Of the foliage in the
distance. Canels are good for desert
warfare, because they can go without
water so long and can easily carry
loads weighing from 400 to 500 pounds.

Believe Huns Will
Collapse This Year

British officers from French battle
fields yesterday said that if the Allies
keep up the pace they are setting in
the present offensive, the German
armies will undoubtedly cave in by
Christmas.
Captain Brian S. Gaynor. of Sidney,
Australia. one of a group of British Of
ticers arriving on British steamer at
an Atlantic port, was particularly en-
thusiastic about the work Of the
American forces in the Allied lines.

slightly since the opening of the "H"

to order hearing for p. m. to-day.
"The committee felt it necessary to

facts could be Immediately available,
with such explanation as the officers Of
the Interborough may wish to offer,
and go the commission could make such

the order is sufficiently broad to allow
the commission to inquire into any
matter relating to service or equip-
ment
"Since the operation of the 'H' began
on August the commission has had
its inspectors in the subways observ-
ing service condition, checking train
intervals, number Of trains and passen-
gers, although published statments in
dicate that the comission has not had
such made. In addition, checks were
made of subway service shortly before

Grand Jurors Study
Escape of GaHney

The grand jurors investigating the
escape of Vincent Gaffney visited the
Tombs yesterday and saw for them
selves how the convicted slayer got out
of the prison.
John Callahan, who is on trial
charged with aiding in Gaffney's es-
cape, took the stand during the day in
his own defence. He tried to escape
with Gaffney, but broke his ankle in
making twenty-o one foot jump from
roof. Asked why he tried to get
away, he said he did so on the impulse
of the moment when he saw a window
grating hanging loose Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Owen Bohan on cross
examination wanted Callahan to tell
the jury what he intended to do if he
got out, but he refused to answer on
the ground that his answer might de-
grade or incriminate him.
He denied knowing Gaffney, but
admitted he complied with the request
Of one of the prisoners, who had asked
him for pair of khaki trousers bv
kicking them over to the cell door
where he could get them. He denied
knowing that the man who wanted the
trousers was Gaffney.

Dempsey to Answer
Charge That B.R.T T.

Company's Reply Will Close
Hearing of Complaint
Before War Board

J. J. Dempsey, vice-president of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, in
charge of operation, is to-day expected
to reply before the National War
Labor Board examiners to the com
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
On the decision in this case rests the
ultimate disposition of the question
of unionization of the B. R. r. system
1t is the contention of the men that
the B. r. T: is opposed to the brother
hood, and that it has consistently dis
missed men for no other reason than
that they Joined the union. Yesterday
L: G. Griffing, assistant grand chief
of the brotherhood, produced testim ony
before Examiners John Henderson and
C. B. Ogburn in an effort to substan-
tiate this claim.
James J. Donnelly, former trustee
of the Employees Benefit Association,
and Dennis Henry, motorman, swore
they had been discharged after of
ficials learned that they had become
brotherhood men.
Another witness, William II. Smith,
told of visit to Vice President Demp-
sey's Office, when as chairman of q COM
mittee representing Local No. 419 of
the brotherhood, he sought the rein
statement OIL men WHO, ne maintained,
had been dismissed because of union
activities.
"Did not tell you that no man would
be dismissed for joining your local un-
less he had bad record? And that
discipline has to be maintained on
a railroad ?" asked Mr.. Dempsey.
"Yes," answered Smith.
"But is it not fact" interrupted
Mr.. Griffing, "that discipline as ad-
ministered by railroad is frequently
unjust?" And the witness heartily
agreed that such is the fact.
to-day the hearing will probably be
brought to an end. AS the teeti nony
has to be forwarded to Washington
it is not likely that decision will be
announced for some time.

"restlers as their guide picked him
self up and opened another door
Terrifying roars and rattle of
chains emanated from that other room
as Barney Howard closed the door be-
hind him. Then came the voice of
barney Howard, nervously high: "Get
back in your cage, Rosic!" From the
sounds which followed Rosie appeared
to be in disobedient mood, likewise
keen for exercise and possessed Of a
raging appetite. Cries for help in the
voice of Barney Howard pierced a med
ley of scrambling, smashing, growing
and then all was silent--save for the
ciatter of many feet on the stairs as
the wrestlers went away from there.
Only One Wrestler Remains
Only one of the valiant corps of
wrestlers remained when Barney How
ard, half-eaten apple in his hand,
reopened the door and took an observa-
tion. He was Max Korovin, of Akron,
Ohio. and his determination to get
breakfast money somehow, even if he
had to wrestle bear to do it, had been
shaken but not destroyed.
Well, kid" said Barney Howard,
eyelng the pnlegmatic Max, "you seem
to be the only applicant and I guess
you win by default. My middle name
is efficiency and my system for weed
ing out unsuitable material is unbeat-
able--Just take Rosie's apple away and
her complaint does the trick"
"When's breakfast?" was Max's re-
sponse. "Ill wrestle bears all right,

Fortified by a square meal, Max
methodically set about learning how
to put Black King, Rosie's alimonic
spouse, on his back.

Bondholder Would
Rip Up Car Tracks

John Gambler Cobb, of Boston, a
bondholder of the New York Railways
Company, which operates many of
Manhattan's surface lines, appeared
before the Public Service Commission
yesterday as representative Of the
bondhoders and said that they had
reached the point where they were
ready "to rip up the rails, junk the
rolling stock, sell the real estate and
forfeit the franchise Of the company"
Mr.. Cobb recently advocated the cut
ting down Of service on the surface
lines as an economic step. He told the
commission that the bondholdcrs felt
that, unless some financial relief came
soon, stern measures would have to
be taken. He spoke Of need for
reduction in service and the elimi-
nation Of transfers. which, he thought
would help the company out Of itg
financial difficulty. The commission
made no declaration Of intentions.
