ONLY ONE MAGAZINE ,.'9
BEATS PRINTERS STRIKE

Elimination of typesetting, one of
the costliest operations of magazine
production, by the use Of plates made
by photographing the original type
written copy, has been accomplished
in the October 10 issue of the Liter
airy Digest, consisting of 80 pages.
This radical innovation, which was
brought about by the printers strike
in New York city, leads the pub
fishers to suggest that ut is pos
ible in this age of marvels that the
whole future of magazine produ-
ton may be revolutionized by the
elimination of typesetting."
The makeup of the magazine is in
no way changed, the only difference
being that the style Of the type is
that used on typewriters and is uni
form in all the reading matter
! throughout the number. On the right
hand side of each page is photo
graphic copy Of the original article
as written on the typewriter.
The strike became effective Oct
ober after employers in $50 print
ing establishments that publish vir
tually all the trade journals and ma
gaines issued in New York refus
ed to grant a weekly increased 0.
S14 and a forty-four hour week re
suited in the strike.

TRAIN CRASH, 8 DIE,
TRAMP IS BLAMED
20 Badly Hurt in Rear-End COL
jjsion on New York Cen
tral at Dunkirk
HOBO KILLED NEAR BRAKES

Dunkirk, n. V, July An un-
identified tramp, killed in the New
York Central Railroad wreck at Dun
kirk this morning, was probably the
cause of the tragedy. according to rr-
ports of the railroad administration.
The mechanism controlling the flow OF
air from the locomotive to the brakes
on the train was found shut off, at the
ulace where the tramp was riding.
The official report says that when the
locomotive Of train No. {, known as
''tho Westcrncr." exploded after tcl"-
sroping the steel pullmanS it drove the
wreck into such a tangled mass that L.
C.. Crowley. manager of tn" New York
Central. who was in Dunkirk, had to
order acctylcne flame torches 10 Ncpa
rate the wrcCkage.
The official report Of the railroad ad-
ministration puts the known dead at
nine; the mortally injured mt three the
seriously hurt at seventeen, and does
not give the number of lesser wound"d'
although il is said to be large.
The preliminary investigation has de-
yelopcd that on leaving the Buffalo
yards the engineer of train No. tested
his brakes three times and found them
working. but had no further occasion
TO use them until running into Dunkirk,
when he encountered a caution signal
registered by No. Al standing in Dun
kirk station. When he applied the air it
noted on the locomotive and tender only
and was not communicated to the cars
following. The train crew states that
the engineer whistled for handbrakes.
but before they could be used No. 1
crashed into the standing No. Al.
As the wreckage was cleared the
crushed body of the tramp was found
on the "hcad end" the narrow space
between the tender and the first car of
the train. The angle cock controlling the
flow of air through the brake pipes was
closed. 1t probably will never be de-
veloped whether the man unwittingly
closed it with his foot. as he used the
cock as step to lift himself up on to the
ear, on whether it was done intention
ally.
The dead are: F. L. Clifford, Of
Buffalo. engineer of the Westerner 4;
Frederick L. Stotz. his fireman, OF
Lackawanna Mrs. Frederick II. Car
ton, thirty years old, of Toronto, Ont. ;
Mrs. Edmunda Quinonu, of Niagara

Lower Branch Adopts Confer

Appropriations

Washington, July 1.-By A. PD-
After protractcd discussion the House
today adopted the conference report on
the 1904, 100000 sundry civil nppro-
priation bill without opposition. The
report is yet to be approved by the
Senate.
The naval appropriations measure
has been enacted. carrying appropria-
tions of S616.OOO. 900 and providing
for a naval personnel of 100000.
Differences as to the amount to be
appropriated for aviation have prevented
enactment of the army bill, House
Democrats insisting ON only &15 900 600
as against $40 900 900 agreed on in
conference and $50 200, 600 voted by
the Senate.
As the funds provided in the bills
were needed for the various government
departments beginning the new fiscal
year. leaders hoped to clear up all dis
putes today so that adjournment could
be taken until July I, when President
Wilson is expected to appear before Il

not arrive until necessary tools had
been brought from Florence. Many
persons are believed to have died under
the shattered debris of their homes.
Among the houses damaged at Re-
CELLO was the one where Giotto, who
has been called the father of paint
ing" was born. The famous church
of San Lorenzo, fortunately. was only
slightly damaged, the walls being crack =
ed to some degree. but the works of art
inside did not suffer serious damage.
In many places the number of injured
has made it impossible to transport the
suffering to hospitals because of the lack
of proper means at the disposal of the
authorities. 1mpromptu nurses have
taken care of the injured ones in the
fields and along the dusty roads.
PoSsessors of automobiles have given
great assistance, rushing from spot to
spot and bringing help, medicines and
bandagcs for use by the doctors and
nurses. Among those who have espec-
tally distinguished themselves at this
work are Marquis Bartolni and Prin-
cess Maria Dcmidoff. Military auto
trucks, Rcd Cross ambulauccs and fire
men have arrived from Rome.
Almost all of the fatalities were in

Pershing May Be Given
Welcome by President
Distinguished General Sched-
uled to Arrive in New
York Sept. 8 or 10.

Washington, Aug. 22.-When Gen
John ]. Pershing arrives at New
York aboard the Mount Vernon either
Sept. 9 or 10, he probably will be
greeted by President Wilson.
It was stated at the White House
today that If circumstances allow the
president, in all probabilities, will
accord the commander Of the Amer
lean expeditionary forces this signal
honor. The president was repre-
sented as keenly interested in the
return OF Gen. Pershing and of the
First division, and as anxious to be
among the first to welcome them to
American soil
Plans for the presidents western
trip are still indefinite, White House
officials said, although it was adj
mitted that If conditions allow him
to make the New York trip, there
was a possibility that he might start
west from there.

Labor Provisions of
Peace Treaty Attacked
Fail to Cope With Evils-May
Disturb U. S. Domes-
tic Peace,

Washington, Aug. 22.-The labor
provisions Of the peace treaty fail to
cope with the threatening labor evils
and point toward a program which
may disturb the domestic peace OF
the United States, Senator Thomas,
democrat, Colorado, declared in a
speech today in the senate. He ex-
pressed grave doubts whether that
section of the treaty could be ac-
cepted under the constitution.
The international slabor conference
to be set up, Senator Thomas de-
clared, would be an important in
tegral part of the league of nations,
though the provisions creating 1t are
not included IN the league covenant.
"Inasmuch as organized labor cor
rectly speaks of itself as a class"
said the Colorado senator, "it is en-
tirely appropriate to say that by in
cluding this program in the treaty
distinct recognition and separate or
ganizations are given to a class. To
enthrone a class, whether by revolu-
ton or by treaty, is but to estrangle
other classes.
."It may be possible to reach the
goal of uniformity in the conditions
Of labor, but / question whether it
can be done otherwise than by max
ing the standard the lowest and
levellng down to it. Strict uniform
ity in world labor conditions can be
attained only at the expense of the
American wage-earner. / cannot
avoid the conclusion that these art
icles designed for his physical and
spiritual improvement may make him
the equivalent of the continental
wage Garner"

conditions in this country and de-
claring that organized labor was en-
ploying methods which threaten the
political and social existence

sensation of recent years here
vigorously protests the innocence of
Lieut.. Sheriff. M. Gray of any hand
in her daughters death, 1t was
learned today that his arrest was

tectives Hackett. Chas. M. Fain, a

company, and Merrill Brody.

Lieut.. Gray denied the existence
of any love letters written by him to
Miss Crawford, denying also that he

her home at II o'clock on the night
of Aug. 2, and asserted that he, ac-
companied by Edelstein and Brody

springs, where they stayed and
danced a few moments. Edelstein
and Brody denied this statement, and
said Gray had spent the night with

Railroad Problem
Solely One of Credit
President of Union Pacific
Discusses Attracting
New Investors.

Washington, Aug. 22,-The railroad
problem is solely n question OF railroad
credit, Robert S. Lovett, president OF
tho Union Pacific railroad. told the
house interstate commerce committee
today.
The question before consSess, he
added, is simply to find how 10 get the
capital necessary to provide transporta-
ton facilities the country demands and
"any legislation that does not accom-
plish that object Is futile
New capital cannot be driven into
railroads. but must be induced to en-
ter" Mr. Lovett declared. The mere
request or invitation or desire Of the
government that investors should come
forward and put their money in rail-
road Improvements will not suffice. 1t
is business proposition. The govern
ment does not propose to guarantee
the interest or the dividends. The in
vestor must depend upon the net earn
ings under the regulations which this
congress is going to prescribe and de-
eide whether he will risk his money
in railroads or put 1t in some other
business.
III you have decided against gov
ernment ownership. then it inevitably
follows that your system of regulation
must be such as to attract investors
to railroads, or you won't get the
necessary railroad facilities"

state that Lieut.. Gray was frequent
caller there both night and dayss thai
he appeared to be unusually inter
ested in the Crawford case. They
say that he came early and stayed
late.
The fact also seems to be we'll es-
tablished that no one outside of her
mother and Lieut.. Gray heard the
dying statement that Miss Crawford
Is said to have made.
Unconscious for Ten Days.
Ono fact that will perhaps have
somo special bearing on tho case 10
that after Miss Crawford was oper-
ated on about ten days ago, she was
unconscious and was kept at all
times under tho influence Of drugs.
II is stated that when she was moved
or came from under tho influence of
tho drug, her screams could be heard
all over tho hospital.
During the last three days OF Miss
Crawford's life the general superin-
tendent Of the hospital visited her
room daily and at no time was the
patient found to be conscious, ac-
cording to the superintendent state
ment.
So the question has been brought
up whether or not Miss Crawford was
at all conscious during her last days,
and II so, long enough to make
lengthy statement. Any declaration
that she might have made would
necessarily have had to be made
while she was under the influence of
the morphine, It was asserted.
The superintendent at Erlanger
does not believe 1t would have hardly
been possible for the girl to have
stood the agony and pain OF such an
operation as was performed unless
she was given chloroform. For this
reason 1t is believed that the deed
was performed by some one besides
