ONE DEAD, TWO HURT,
As TRAIN HITS AUTO
AT GRADE CROSSING

Bradley Skaggs, 80 years old, was
killed, and William Shelley, 81 years
old, and Kenneth Shelley, rs years old,
were seriously injured when an auto
mobile in which they were riding was
struck by north-bound c. and o. pas
senger train No. 7, at the South n
street crossing, near the Natco plant,
at 9:35 a. m, Thursday. The men
were all from Newcastle.
The machine was hurled about so
feet by the locomotive. Skaggs was
lying on the pilot of the engine when
the train was stopped further up the
track. The others were lying along
the right of way. The men were rush
ed to Reid hospital, where Skaggs died
at 10:45 a. m.
Kenneth Shelley sustained a rrac.
tured hip. William Shelley was cut
about the face and head. Hospital at
tendants say both men will recover.
Drove Down From Newcastle.
The men had driven down here from
Newcastle to seek employment at the
Natco factory. They had left the fac
tory and were headed east toward
Eighth street when the accident oc

Eye witnesses,in the Natco building
say the men, ltnaccustomed to the
crossing evidently thought they were
safe when they saw no watchman. The
c. and o. railroad does not maintain
a watchman at the crossing. The
street crossing is at the end Of the C

three tracks.
N A. Haisley, employment manager
of the Natco, said Kenenth Shelley

BIG COMPANIES SAY
LIGHT APPROPRIATION
IS JOKE; WON'T BID

The two largest electrical equip
ment manufacturing concerns In the
United States, the Westinghouse and
the General Electric company, have
declined to submit bids for a 5000
k. W. turbine and other necessary
equipment for such a unit, in letters
which were received by the board of
public works Thursday.
Each company points out to the
board Of public works in its communi-
cation that the 100000 appropriation
for the proposed unit, authorized by
city council Monday night, Is consid-
erably less than the actual cost of
the Improvement, and for that reason
the question Of submitting bid can
not be entertained
The General Electric company sug-
gested in its letter that it would be
a waste of time and money for the
board of public works to advertise for
bids, unless council authorized an ap
preparation of at least the approx
mate amount of the improvement.
Council May Consider 1t Again.
No advertisement for bids for pro-
posed plant improvements was author.
lied by the board Thursday and it is
quite probable the question will come
up for consideration again at council
meeting next Monday night.
1t is understood that the power users
of the city are considering having a
delegation of their members appear
before council with the demand that
the legislative and administrative
branches of the city government get

Hopkins, national chairman of the
committee of 48, suggested that
course.
Some of the delegates appeared to

chose, they could run their ticket
under this name.
Senator LaFollette's refusal of the
Farmer-Labor party nomination, was
explained by Gilbert Roe, his former
partner, who represented him.
He said that Senator LaFollette had
been put in an absurd position by not
having a chance to see the platform
and that he understood some things
weer going in he did not approve.
