| According to testimony the bullet
split, as it went through the door
casing, the lead part entering Will
liams' head and the jacket part going
through second window. To break
through this window the jacket
would have to defect several inches
from the course the bullet took.
Sheriff P. J. Macy testified that he
was present two days after the kill
ing when the jacket part was picked
up outside the window.
The following account of the first
part of the trial is reprinted from
the Poplar Standard of February 13.
1t is comparatively small part of
the complete testimony, but gives an
excellent idea of the general situa-
tion and circumstances surrounding
the events of the day and night of
the shooting. The Standards story
in full of the trial up to Wednesday
evening, the 18th, is as follows:
(From Poplar Standard, Feb. 13)
In Mondak, in little room that
for years was used as dance hall,
Joe Burshia, Poplar Indian boy, is
on trial this week, charged with the
murder of Art Williams, husband of
Mollie Bauers Williams, in this city
on the 30th of last October.
The trial got under way Tuesday
at noon. There were some prelim-
inaries Monday, such as the opening
statements of the attorneys and the
selection of the jury, but the real
trial did not commence until Tues
day noon.
Burshia Unconcerned
Joe Burshia, the principal actor
in this grim drama that is being
enacted in that little made-over
court room, is the most unconcerned
man at the trial. He is cool, col
ected, interested, of course, but un-
There is a trial on,
murder trial, it is called, and his
name is mentioned frequently, and

interest, young Burshia acts not diff

REQUEST RENEWED
FOR BONUS OF $48O
Federation Of U. S. Employees
Tells Senate Committee
$240 Is Inadequate.

The National Federation of Federal
Employees. through its president.
Luther c. Steward, In statement
nled with the Senate appropriations
committee. has renewed its request
for an increase In the bonus for fed
eral employees to $3.50. urging this in
crease until the adoption of equitabl
reciass incation schedules.
Mr.. Stewards statement to the COM
mittce emphasized the following
points:
The s24O granted last year was
ina dequate at that time. and Is still
ther Increase in living costs. The en-
ployes therefore ask that the bonus
be Increased to $3.50.
Unfair to Employe.
The exclusion from tho benefits Of
the bonus Of the bureaus established
since January ]. 1915. is unfair to the
employees in those bureaus. notably
the war risk bureau. and the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
which are not war services. although
created during that period.
1.-The overnment. because of its low
wage scale, has a far higher turnover
than private employer would be able
to survive and consequently the serv-
Ice suffers as to efficiency.
Seek Temporary Expedicnt.
ANY bonus plan Is fundamentally
undesirable and unduly expensive, as
rates are just. Therefore. the organ
lied employees ask for the bonus only
as a temporary expedient pending re-
adjustment Of the base pay"

WASHINGTON MEN
DISCUSS H. c. |.
Citizens Association Takes
Up Subject at the Jefferson
School.

The high Cost of living and the
cost of high living" were discussed
at a meeting of the South Washing
ton Citizens Association last night, at
the Jefferson School. Members OF the
association. discussing a resolution
by f. T. Lacey. opposing, first. any
increase in the cost of bread. ana
second. any increase In living costs
generally, asserted that the present
high cost of living is due more to
the individual and his desires for bet
ter-quality goods than to pronteer1ng;
Mr.. Lacey's resolution was adopted
without the part opposing increase In
the cost of bread. ANY increase in
the cost of bread over present prices
will put big money into the pockets
Of big interests and force the smaller
men out Of business" Mr.. Lacey said
I'VE must stop the rising standard
somewhere. and we might as well
start now"
Fl. A. REM Agrees.
H. A. REM said he agreed with all
that Mr.. Lacey said. but asserted that
the cost of living lies with the indi-
vidual rather than with the store
keeper.
"As to the high cost of bread. labor
costs have mounted greatly, wheat is
now $3.50 a bushel where it was 80
cents before the war; machinery has
increased in price, and everything
entering into the making of a loaf of
bread has increased" said the speaker.
"If breadmakers are to get a legiti-
mate profit. we must pay more money
for bread. Any reduction in the cost
of living must start with the farmer
and work up.
President Thompson asserted that
the high wages paid labor and the
ease with which jobs are found form
the basis for the present high prices.
He said when there are thousands of
men out of work prices will be lower
and the efficient man will be doing
everything within his power to hold
on to his job.
| Called Play ON WOrds.
| Dr. l.. A. Johnson characterized the
whole question as a simple play upon
words and said the phrase should be
changed to read the "cost of high
living" Every man of us has made
more money in less time during the
last two years than ever before" DR..
| Johnson said. Those of us who al
ways spend our incomes. have spent
more money and are willing to pay
two prices for an article. If we would
patroniZe only the store where goods
jare sold at a reasonable profit and
mot deal at the store where luxury
;prices are asked, we would soon see
a drop in prices all the way down the
line"

WRECK DESTROYS
RADNOR STATION
NAN, WOMAN AND CHILD MAY HAVE
LOST THEIR LIVES.

When a Pennsylvania railroad
coal train left the rails at Radnor
station, near Philadelphia, October
20, three persons are believed to have
been caught beneath the resultant
Wreckage.
A small army of laborers was innnae-
diately put to work, but up to late
hour the bodies had not been recover
ed
Three persons were seen on the sta
ton platform by the engineer of the
wrecked train less than a minute be-
fore twenty five loaded cars piled up
in a twisted mass and buried the sta
tion beneath a mountain of coal.
The engineer told railroad officials
that man, woman and little girl
were standing on the platform when
his locomotive flashed past. It Is be-
lieVed they were waiting for the Phila
deIphia bound train
More than 500 IaboFers worked all
day digging into the mountain OF coal
and wreckage Last night acetyiena
torches were lighted and the work
was continued Wreching cranes were
dispatched from every available point
and assisted in lifting the battered
hulks Of the steel cars from the pile.
No one knows positively that the
three are buried in the wreckage.
There is a faint hope that they es-
capped by running to the far end OF the
station platform, which was un-
touched, and then to the ground.
The Radnor police have not been re-
Iquested to look for missing personsS
but it is thought that this has little
bearing on the fate of the three per-
sons seen on the platform.
The wreck is one of the worst that
ever occurred on the Pennsylvania
lines in this vicinity. Damage viii
run into hundreds 0 thousands Of dol
lars, and 1t took several days before
the wreckage was cleared.
The train consisted OF sixty cars
loaded with coal. It was running on
the east-bound passenger track and
had only ten minutes headway On the
passenger train The engineer hoped
to reach Bryn Mawr In time 10 cross
over to the freight track.
According to persons who were IN
the vicinity OF the station when the
crash occurred the train rounded the
curve just west OF the station st 2
terrific clip and same through at
speed approxlmating fifty miles an
hour. There Is slight down grade at
this point
According to railroad officials, the
truck under the fourteenth car broke
down at point just opposite the sta
ton. The ear leaped the tracks. ana
practically every car behind It follow
ed. The full force of the impact
struck the wooden station and plat
form and completely demolished both.
Cars are piled mountain high and
great chunks of soft coal were thrown
about like shrapnel.
A big steel pole which carries the
wires which furnish power to the elec-
tric trains was pulled out and bent
almost double. A steel girder bridge
which carries the Penhsylvania tracks
over the King OF Prussia road was rip-
ped and twisted like cardboard, willis
a concrete and stone retaining wall
crumbled beneath the battering of the
heavy cars as though 1t had been IN
