HALTS TRAIN. SAVES
MAN ACROSS RAILS
Engineer Reaches Conductor
as Express Rushes Past.

William Lodge. conductor of West
Shore express that leaves Weehawken
in the evening rush hour. fell from his
train last night between Little Ferry,
and Ridgefield Park. He lay stunned
across an adjoining track. An express
train of the Ontario and Western Rail-
road. which uses the West Shore tracks
to Cornwall, rushed north from New
York along the rails across which Lodge
lay.
The tracks of the Susquehanna and
Western Railroad parallel those of the
West Shore between little Ferry and
Ridgefield Park. A passenger train OF
which William Gould was the engineer
went north a short eighth of mile
ahead OF the Ontario and Western ex-
press.
Gould saw the man in blue uniform
lying across the West Shore tracks. He
knew the Ontario and Western express,
which sometimes ran abreast of his train
In the vicinity when he was a bit behind
time. He put on the brakes and blew
his whistle. The train stopped quickly
and its crew and number of passen-
gers jumped from it Gould pointed to
the man on the tracks and led the race
to him. The Ontario and Western ex-
press could be heard laundering near
with curve hiding the body from it's
engineer.
Gould and trainman reached Lodge
after run of seventy feet in which
they leaped a ditch and crossed a num-
Der of tracks just in time. They lifted
the unconscious man from the path of
the express. A half minute later and
he would have been cut to pieces.
An ambulance was summoned from
the Hackensack Hospital. Lodges left
arm was broken at the elbow and his
skull may be fractured. He partly re-
gained consciousness and hope is held
that he may recover. He Is 81 years old
and has been a West Shore conductor for
many years. He lives in Union Hill
Lodges train passed Bogota before he
was discovered to be missing. 1t was
stopped and trainmen walked back two
miles looking for him.

Petersen AND SONS
AGAIN FACE CHARGES
Skipper, Acquitted of Muir
der, Accused of CrueIties.

Capt. Adolph Cornelius Petersen, mas.
ter of the barkentine Puaka of San
Francisco, and his two sons, Leonard
and Adolph, first and second mates re-
spectively, were placed on trial yester-
day before Judge George w. Jack in
the Federal District Court charged with
i'll treatment of members of the crew in
a voyage from Victoria, b. c.. to Cape
Town. Capt. Petersen and Adolph
were tried on a murder charge in May
and acquitted.
Dudley Field Malone and Edward w.
Mcdonald. counsel for the defendants,
and S. Lawrence Miller, Assistant United
States Attorney, showed the utmost care
in examining talesmen.
The Puaka arrived in Cape Town with
the captain and two mates enforcing
their control of the ship with weapons
and with most of the crew imprisoned
in irons. The officers alleged that the
crew had been mutinous and had con-
spired to murder them and beach the
ship. The crew alleged that the captain
had subjected them without good cause
to privation and cruelty.
The evidence in the murder trial was
conflicting. Indications are that IL will
be of the same nature at this trial.
Members of the crew have been held
here as material witnesses since they
were brought back with the officers from
Cape Town.

RESERVES DECISION
IN CAR UNION SUIT
Court Hears Argument in In
junction Plea.

Justice Wagner in the Supreme Court
reserved decision yesterday after hear
ing the arguments on the application
OF the Third Avenue Railway Company
for an injunction restraining officers Of
the Amalgamated Association OF Street
and Electric Railway Employees OF
America from inducing or trying to
induce employees of the company and
its subsidiary companies from joining
the union.
Louis Fridiger. as counsel for the
union and one Of the defendants in the
action, interposed technical objections
to the granting of the order, stating
he had been served with the amended
complaint in the proceedings only a few
hours before the time set for the hear
ing. He attacked the legality of the
agreement upon which the street rail-
way company seeks the present injunc-
ton. This was made following the strike
of 1916 when the men who returned to
work pledged themselves not to affiliate
with labor union. Mr.. Fridiger said
this agreement had not been reduced to
writing and was not binding.
1t is stated in the amended complaint,
to which Mr.. Fridiger filed objection,
that all but four of the 400 conductors
and motormen in the employ of the
company are bound by the agreement
not to affiliate with a union. Mr.. Fri
digger stated he would resume to-day
his arguments on behalf of Patrick ].
Shea, vice-president of the Amalgamated
Association, and the others named in
the papers.

CABARET PLAYERS
CASE IS DISMISSED
Injured Girls Testimony Too
Much for Judge.

After listening intently to everything
Miss Trixie Ayers, 1862 West Forty-ninth
street, and Miss Marie Goerecht, S645
Bay Fourteenth street, Brooklyn, had to
say in the Jefferson Market court Mag
istrate Simpson decided yesterday that
the Grand Jury wouldn't be able to fix
the real blame in the matter any more
than he could so he ordered that both
of them be discharged and the cross
charges of assault dismissed. 1t was
far better so. the court said.
Miss Ayers and Miss Goerecht are
both employed to entertain patrons OF
the Hotel Marlborough. Broadway and
Thirty-ffth street, the former as cab
aret singer and the latter as a dancer.
According to the tangled skein of testi-
mony, trouble developed between them
after the performance Monday night as
result of an argument in their
dressing room. Miss Goerecht COM
planned that flying cut glass pitcher
hit her in the head. She made a COM
plant, and Detective Roscoe Jenkins Of
the West Thirtieth street station was
sent around to Miss Ayers's home to ar
rest her.
In court yesterday Detective Jenkins
said that when he entered Miss Ayers's
room an ambulance surgeon was In the
act of patching up a deep cut over one
of her eyes. She explained that she
had unfortunately slipped on a banana
peel as she was going up the stairs and
that the cut was due to the resultant
fall.
Alex Lange, who volunteered to ap-
pear for Miss Ayers, said he did so at
the request of the Actors Equity Assoc
citation. He and H. C. Kastenbaum,
Assistant District Attorney. agreed that
the cross complaints of assault be heard
together.

FIGHT ON MOSQUITO
URGED BY COPELAND
Commissioner Tells How to
Eliminate Pests.

Residents of this city who have been
enduring more suffering and ANNOYANCE
OF late than usual because of the large
crop OF mosquitoes undoubtedly result
ing from the incessant rains of the pres
ent summer are called upon by Health
Commissioner Copeland to assist in
abating the nuisance through the prac-
tice OF some simple preventive meas
ures which he believes will make nm
necessary the citronella rubs and other
devices that are resorted to for tempo
rary protection from the insect plague
DR.. Copeland yesterday issued the fol-
lowing suggestions:
"All owners, lessees, agents, tenants
or occupants of land on which water
stands should Immediately oil or drain
on this water. In oiling. any of the fuel
oils may be used, slight film of oil over
the surface OF the water is sufficient.
All cans, barrels, pals or vessels of
all kinds holding water on any prem
ises should be emptied at once and so
placed as not to hold water.
"All clsterns, cgsspools roof tanks and
rain water barrels should be SO covered
that mosquitoes cannot enter or escape
therefrom.
"A diligent search should be made of
premises by each owner or occupant and
every collecting place OF water should
be eliminated. Attention is called TO fire
pals in factories, 60, in which the
water should be changed every week"

But yesterday Kent's bride was in court

husband because his love was too vio-
lent" Charles Ham, Mrs. Wiley's at
torney. said Kent had called his client
on the telephone as often as thirty five
times in one day. This was more than
Kent could brook in silence.

1t is easy to catch
a blind horse
as is noticeable every day along
a milk white sandy road at the
edge of the bay shore where
colored man has a no top wagon
and blind horse. Poor old fell
low, he takes weeds and
mouldy half-rotted hay from
the hand of a do-little driver
who feeds him with anything he
can pick up at the roadside
while waiting at the dock.
Curiously enough this fact is
no more true than that a large
majority of the people who buy
dry goods and house furnish.
ings are as blind as that horse as
to the goodness and true values
of what. they have to buy, and
are easily caught by advertising
nets.
1t must be so, or there would
not be so much money spent for
freshly over-painted advertising
which is to the discredit of all

be all alike.
