SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO
VOLUNTEERS

VOLON LERO.
A serious accident occurred at the Gar
rison Savannah yesterday in connection
with the salute of 101 guns fired in hon
our Of the signing Of the Peace Treaty.
1t appears that while Sergeant j. E.
Wickhan, Of the Volunteer Force, the
~Well-known bicycle repairer of this City,
was ramming one of the guns, after hav-
ing swabbed the bore, it suddenly explod-
ed and blew eff his right hand from the
wrist downward, and seriously damaged
his left arm 1t is supposed that the
sparks from the previous discharge of
the gun were yet alive without Wickham
being aware of the fact. and that they
ignited and caused the explosion. Sur
geon-Lieutenant r. M. Johnson promptly
rendered first aid by bandaging the arms
and conveyed him to the General Hospi-
tai, where he has been detained.
James Goring, another Volunteer, also
a bicycle repairer, who was assisting
Wickham, got his right thumb blown off
while resting it on the top valve.
We are informed that, by the order of
His ExcelIency the Governor, Sergeant
Wickham will BE- kept in the Pay Ward,
and expenses thus incurred will be liqui-
dated by the Government. The fingers
of his hands that were blown off, were
buried on the Garrison Savannah. B0r-

In his address before the Band of Hope
Union in England, MIR. SilaS P. Keen,
a high official of the Anti-Saloon League
of America gave the temperance work
ers a warning in which he urged them
not to be side-tracked by the interested
friends of the LIQUOR traffic. For some
time. lie said. quite a good argument
was put up by the educated section of
s5he supporters OF the American saloons,
that temptation was necessary in order
TO develop character. the inference, of
course, being that, therefore, the drink
traffic was necessary. The c~ducatiOnists,
who were the real friends of the child
rem, however. worked hard to remove
this m~iscOnceptiOn, and were success
ful. An educational official in New York
State brought forward the evidence that
10, 900 children went to school every
day without breakfast, while the par
ents Who neglected them we're de J0lop-
ing their character in the saloon. And
these children had to leave school long
before their education was complete,
and enter civil occupations, in order
5'Ill f9t1her to develop the characters
Oh their parents.

Expect Good Results From Var on Fake Promoters

Many bankers and brokers expect good results from the work of the
committee appointed by the governors Of the Philadelphia Stock EN-
change fol the purpose Of running ITO cover the fake promoters who ar
reaping a harvest from the small holders of Liberty Bonds, and the po-
lection as far a IS possible of this big army of icy investors, as well a
offering them encouragement to continue saving and investing their
money in absolutely safe securities.
A well-known fnancier when discussing the matter yesterday said
he understood it is the intention of the committee here to affiliate with
the committee appointed by the New York Stock Exchange for the same
purpose. lie remarked that New York and Philadelphia are the hot
beds for the propagation of these shyster promoters, because virtually
all the bordering statesh have either blue laws or something equivalent
which has driven them out, and they have found a refuge where up to
the present they have worked unmohested in New York and Pennsylvania.
He said he did lot believe the New York and Philadelphia COM
nittees favored blue laws, a while they kept out the takers. they usually
interfere with the honest investment banker by imposing heavy taxation,
and lin some Eases lend themselves as a owe for grating officials.
He said the committee proposes a campaign OF education o advise
he holders of Liberty Bonds not to sell, o if they must, then not to
sell for me cent less than the market price. They also expect the {.
operati6n Of the papers in refusing the advertisements of fake promoters,
as well ast the cooperation of the owners of buildings where they have
their offices. No one. he remarked, who has a legitimate proposition to
offer will. ave ANYTHING to fear from the committees activities The n
important point in this connection, he said, is that the committee has
got TO work already; it isn't something that is going to be-" like many
reforms in this city; it Is.

ErOIring a Definite, Workable Railroad Plan

Speakins Yesterday Of the railroad situation, a prominent banker
said il would be an everlasting shame if out of the multitude OF coun.
senrs SOL definite, workable plan, which will satisfy the majority in
terested.c cannot be evolved without leaving it TO the President" a indi-
cations point to a s the final resort.
" a have had the opinions of railroad experts. of lawyers represent
inc the railroad security owners, Of state and interstate commissions,
mttees OF shippers, of House and Senate committees of individual bank
committee appointed m Wednesday last by the Investment Bankers
Association headed by Allen b. Forbes, o Harris, Forbes & Co.
In common with all, II nearly all, IF the different elements men,
toned he remarked. this last committee has a S its first article of faith
onnoItiont 10 permanent ownership and operation Of the railroads by the
government. and it's second article demands a return of tn roads to prL
waite ownership and operation as a S possible after the necessary
rorstruci legislation has beer agreed upon by Congress.
This banker said if this committee could only get the railroad eX-
nerts together who have recently been airing their views. many II which
are contradictory, and do the same with the bankers who have formu-
lated plans, and place some definite program before Congress, he believed
more could be accomplished in a short time than by the present method
