(By Associated Press)


BATAVIA, N. Y. Jan. 13.-Oficials
OF the New York Central railroad to-
day were continuing their investiga-
ton Of the wreck at South Byron yes
terday in which 81 persons were killed
and attempts were renewed to identity
the IS bodies still in Batavia under
taking establishments.
Railroad officers who had spent Sum
day Investigating conflicting state
ments regarding the collision OF the
Southwestern limited with the rear
sleepers of the Wolverine limited this
morning declared that they could see
no explanation Of the cause of the
wreck.
John Friedley OF Buffalo. engineer Of
the Southwestern, maintained that no
block signal was set against his train
and that he saw no warning light until
he was within a few car lengths of the
Wolverine, which had stopped to take
on an extra engine for steep grade.
In his statement he was supported by
his fireman
]. R. Oman, superintendent, OF the
Western division, declared he could
not explain the accident. 1.-The flag
man." he said, claims that he went
about 25 car lengths to the rear of
his train to signal the second train.
Torpedoes were also put on the track.
The statement of Engineer Friedley
differs materially from that Of the
flagman. He admits. however, that
the signals were set at danger when
he went to look at them after the acct.

Poultry To Be Important
Facto, In Work Of
Reconstruction

BY p. g. HOLDEN.
IN the average farm little atten'
ton is paid to the raising OF
poultry and yet nothing else
pays so well for the amount OF
money invested and the amount OF
care required.
On the 100000 farms in the Unit
ed States there is an average Of only
A head Of poultry to each farm. In
some states the average Is more than
100. The average hen lays but five
dozen eggs a year. She should lay
eight dozen. It is not uncommon for
a hen to lay II, IA, and even 20
dozen.
If there were an average Of 100
hens on each farm in America and
each hen laid eight dozen eggs a
year, these eggs at 80 cents dozen
would be worth more than $780,
100000. This would be over $50 for
every man, woman, and child living
in the rural districts Of the United
States.
The value of the eggs alone, to
say nothing of other poultry prod
ucts, would be 60 per cent Of the
value Of all the hogs in the United
States on January l last, at $18 a
hundred pounds: 1t would be Sc per
cent of the value Of the entire 1918
corn crop at 81 q bushel; 1t would

New Spirit Binds World To-
gether, Says New Japanese
Commoner.
(By Associated PressS


TOXIC. JAN 13.-The war has rev.
volutionized the ideas among civilized
peoples concerning international rela-
lions. declared Takashi Hara. Japan's
new commoner premier in a recent in
terview.
"A new spirit seems to have been
born among them" he said. 1T seems
to me that this new spirit will in the
future come to sway the minds OF
people in all civilized countries and
govern the relations between the ma
tions." Speaking of peace. he said:
THE idea of depressing the German
people will be repugnant to the labor
parties in England and France and
also to the humanitarians in America
classes of men whose sentiments
their respective governments cannot
ignore. Under these circumstances. 1
am inclined to believe that compari-
lively moderate and fair opinions will
prevail at the peace conference. with
the result that the war will end In
peace under which all the nations of
the world can in the future live in
safety and in harmony with one an
other Nobody can deny that such is
the peace needed for the true welfare
of mankind"
Americans In France.
Mr.. Hara recalled incidents OF the
active sympathy American soldiers
showed to the French peasants in the
war zone whom they were ever WILL
ing to help in the field whenever off
duty. He told how American SOL
diers had spent their money buying
candy for French children and contfn
ued:
such is the new spirit now binding
the different peoples Of the world
with increasing strength. This spirit
does not permit nations merely to
seek their own selfish interests with
out any regard to the interests of 9th
ers. Japan has sent her army to ST.
IBERIA, and 1t is my ardent wish that
the officers and men will always bear
in mind that they are there to help
the Russians and SO conduct them
selves as to be welcomed by the latter
as deliverers. Good behavior is just
as praiseworthy on the part of a ma
ton as on that of an individual. Look
at Germany. She has followed the
principle that state is free to do
anything however, selfish or treach-
erous, and the result is the tragic
plight in which we now find her Let
us take warning from her expert
ence"

She is now ineligible to take her seat

Even though she was eligible, how

place she is a Sim Feiner, and none
of the Sim Feiners chosen at the re-

LABOR BOARDS
ASK PLANS FOR
LOCAL BUILDING
Want Information as to Work
Which May Absorb Return
ing Service Men.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 13.-As step
In the execution of the Federal gov
ernment's rehabilitation program,
the United States Employment Ser
vice has called on the Indiana Com
munity Labor Board to supply infor-
nation as to local plans for inaugu-
rating public work, which may serve
to absorb returning soldiers. sailors
and civilians who have been engaged
in war work.
In transmitting to the Community
Boards the request from Washington,
the Federal Labor Director. Louis c.
Huesmann stated that the step Is
taken in order that the demobiliza-
ton may be accomplished to the
greatest advantage Of the men and
their home communities" The pur-
pose Of these questions, Mr.. Huesmann
adds. is not attempt to stimulate any
demand for unproductive labor. but
to acquaint the federal government
with the requirements OF the several
states for labor upon necessary pub
lie works, SO that the needs of the
state for labor and the possible needs
OF certain of the returning soldiers
Of the states. for employment may be
met to mutual advantage.
Queries Listed.
Much necessary public work has
been delayed. 1t Is pointed out, on &C
count Of war time conditions and the
high prices for materials. New enter
prises are contemplated in many parts
Of the state, 1t is understood. Al!

for labor is anticipated, the demobi.
lized men are expected, naturally, to
return to their home communities and
to the work in which they were en-
gagged, preferably, or to something
more remunerative or more edifying.
However, force of circumstances are
expected to cause many of them TO
engage in temporary work, and it is
that there may be a catalogued re-
cord of the jobs likely to be open, that
this information is requested. The fol-
lowing questions have been sent to
the various boards, and their replies
will be tabulated and forwarded to
Washington for the use of the De-
partment of Labor:
1. What public works has your CON-
munity engaged in or planned?
2. Have such public works been con-
Quoted directly by city of county
department, or indirectly by contrac-
tors?
3. What departments have conduct
cd public works directly?
4. Please give us a few cost figures
to show the scale upon which public
work has been conducted in your com.
munity.

The laying hen is deserving Of our
best care and attention. Every time
she lays an egg she deposits nearly
three cents in the farmers bank &C
count, and yet we allow her to roost
in trees, do not give any attention to
her diet, compel her to seek her
drinking water wherever she can find
it and do not concern ourselves in
the least regarding her comfort in
stormy weather.
The hen must be one of the most
important factors in reconstruction.
There is very little poultry left In
Europe. It will take at least five
years to restock the allied countries
and the American hen must produce
the eggs to produce the chickens to
restock those farms.
Those farmers who begin now to
give the needed attention to their
poultry will reap reward they may
never again have the opportunity OF
securing.

Mrs. Norman der. WhItehouse.


The armistice and the end. of the
great war does not mean end OF war
work by any means. The only differ
ence is that now war work will be
called reconstruction work and will be
adapted for the needs Of peace times.
Many people are Fastening to Europe
to replace the ones who have worked
so valiantly through the struggle and
now need a rest and many more are
returning to take up duties which they
left for a brief month after the arms
tice was signed
Mrs. Norman der. Whitehouse is
one of the women to return 10 Europe
to resume her duties over there. She
sailed for Bordeaux recently on the
French liner Espagne. Mrs. White
house is a we'll known suffrage leader
and American propagandist She goes
to France on government mission
and will represent the Committee on
Public Information while abroad.
During the war Mrs. Whitehouse
conducted successful propaganda
campaign in Germany through Switz-
erland. BY methods devised by her
self she managed to spread American
ideas and policies among the German
people, using Switzerland as a base
Of operations.
For the present she will assist in
circulating propaganda at the Peace
conference.

Prohibition Extremists.
From the New York TImesl

krFOsu the view Ofk Times j.
Is it the purpose of the apparent
~ dOcile pupils of the Anti-Saloon
League to make the enforcement
bill so Outrageously severe and OBJ
nOxious that the Senate and the
country cannot stomach it? In
mOnOtOnous procession Terrifying
amendments are rejected and the
full rigor of irritating and arbitrary
procedures is sustained. Even the
provision denying jury trials TO de-
PENDANTS convicted of violation Of
the prohibition enforcement law and
brought up for the artificial con-
tempt of court created by that mca-
sure was passed on a teller vote by.
a majority of two after an amend
ment granting jury trial had been
carried by four on a rising vote.
Evidently the dose sickened the
House. but down it had to go.
The obvious purpose of the fanai-
iOal ''drys' is to deprive wet
misdemeanants of the protection of
jury trial. They fear the result of
a jury trial. So, by this device OF
indirect, constructive and technical
contempt they would refuse to thous-
ands of men and women the capital
and ancient right of the citizen.
They do rot seek to protect the dig
nifty of the courts. They seek to
leave the victims of a prosecuting
statute, and, it may be, of private
malice, bare of remedy. They do
not dare to depend upon the verdict
of jury of the vicinage.
In bill crowded with search and
seizure and destruction Of property
rights, this abrogation of jury trials
for the sake of mulcting and driving
10 jail misdemeanants so made by
the Anti-SalOon League, is an eff
front most offensive to the traditions,
customs and belief of English-speak-
ing men and women.
The straitest sect Of ''drys' is
dlscrediting prohibition and disgust
ing the country. Unconsciously
they are doing useful work. One
feels like thanking them rather than |
blaming them.

Riots in Washington.

Race riots, which started in Wash
ington Sunday night, were resumed
with increased impetus the follow
ing night and continued on Tuesday
with slightly lessened violence.
To date SIX lives have been sacr;-
feed and more than 4 hundred per-
sons injured, some of them. seriously.
According 10 the general opinion,
this lawless outbreak was the out
come of numerous recent assaults
by negroes upon white women in the
outlying sections Of the city, which
enraged the white people to extreme
and unwarranted measures Of reta-
liation. We say unwarranted be-
cause in no organized, oTder-domi-
mated society is there any excuse for
the substitution of mob law for con
stituted authority. The negroes
who committed the felonious as
saults which precipitated the trouble
should be apprehended and prompt-
ly punished, and punished TO the
very extremity of the law; but pend
ing this there should be no tolerance
with the mob spirit which would in
fiict indiscriminate punishment upon
innocent members of the offenders
race.
The serious consequences of the
recent disorder in Washington u
the direct result of inadequate laws
regulating the sale and possession
of fire arms. Rioting, in any mea-
sure, is bad enough, but when in
dulged in by men. white or black,
organized into prowling bands which
terrorize the streets after nightfall,
armed and prepared for the trouble
which they seek, the matter calls
for drastic precautionary and pre-
tentative measures. No man should
be allowed to own or carry a weapon
who cannot show the proper need
for its possession and furnish ample
proof and reference as to his fitness
to be entrusted with it. This would
disarm the disorderly, fractions ele-
ment that exists in every community.
In the meantime we wish TO heart
lily commend the action of the two
police court Judges in Washington
who are handing out sentences OF
one year in jail and $500 fine 10
persons convicted of unlawfully
carving concealed weapons, and "a
express the hope that our own
magistrates will not make the mis-.
take of dealing leniently when often
ders are brought before them for
disturbances or disorder OF any kind.
The riot spirit is prevalent at this
time and the time to check it is in
its incipiency.
