Simplicio Torres, in the State penitentiary at Florence await ing the death penalty for the murder of Victor E.

On the way to Flor ence, Torres started to jump out of the window. Adaltoni Bigue No. 1, the Indian mur- derer of Chas.

Washington, Oct 80 Railroad
workers who are asking higher pay
expect to hear the verdict of the rail-
read administration on their requests
within the next few days. Their fu-
ture action will be governed by the ma :
ture of the verdict, according to broth
erhood officials. Director General
Hines today had before him the re :
port of his wage adjustment board.
He planned to summon officials of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors to

brotherhood of railway trainmen. I'VE

Lee declined to say what course
would be followed If the demands for
higher wages and an adjustment of
pay are refused.
Demands of the workers include time
and half for overtime, which they
say they wish to obtain to cut down
long hours of work Decision while

men are restless and that it will be
difficult to prevent a strike unless
concessions are made.
Lee said railroad workers would not
be greatly influenced by a coal strike.
I'VE don't believe in sympathetic
action he said. A coal strike would
contribute to general unrest however,
and might make it harder to restrain
the men.

was given last night in Grace Church
by Bishop William Quayle, noted
Shakcspcrian scholar as we'll as emil
nent Methodist Episcopal divine.
Hamlet the play whose meaning
has puzzled the world. was called by
Bishop Quayle. the sphinx OF Lltera-
ture."
Il think that the play Hamlet means
the question or unrequied evil in the
world. After reading the play one asks
why God let's evil exist said the
bishop.
Throughout his address, Bishop
Quayle gave highly dramatic imperson-
ati0ns Of the characters in the tragedy.
His discourse was enlivened by many
humorous and striking eplgramatlc
sayings. Some OF his epigrams were as
follows:
81 would rather have a heart and
have it break thousand times than
have a piece OF granite in my bosom"
"Cut some peoples hands of and
they would not bleed because their
blood doesn't flow any further than
their elbows.
