Subway Blocked
By Trick Train
marlborough Attemp pts
One-Cuard Experiment
During a Rush Hour

The Interborough sprang it's trick
train on the rush-hour crowd in the
Lexington Avenue subway last night
to the vexation and delay Of thousands
The trick train travels with only one
guard who operates all the doors from
a position in the center car.
Last night when the freak set out
from 167th Street and Jerome Avenue,
bound south, the lone guard was re-
inforced by numerous expert cleo
tricians whose function was to keep
it's mechanism operating at full speed
so that there would be no delay at
stations.
The mechanism or the crowds were
too much for the corps of electricians.
Delay followed delay. Further and
further behind its schedule fell the
trick train, while passengers piled up
on the platforms of stations ahead and
blocked trains piled up on the tracks
behind.
1t was intended to run the one
guard train clear through to Brook
lyn, but by the time it reached Grand
Central station it was evident that
veritable holocaust of dinners in
that borough would result and the or
ders were changed to side-track the
incubus at City Hall station.

Panama Indians Kill IL
In Revolt Over NoseRings
San Bias Tribesmen Attack
Police and Residents of Por-
venir Rubber Settlement

PANAMA, Feb. 2.-San Bias Indians,
in sudden attack on Panama police
and the residents Of a rubber gather
ing settlement at Porvenir, about
eighty miles east OF Colon, killed sew
enteen persons and wounded many
others, according to advices received
here. No whites were involved in the
fight. The Panaman government is
fitting out an expedition to sail from
Colon to restore order. Some of the
Indians, it is stated, came from Co.
lombia to participate in the attack.
Reports from Porvenir say the raid
was in retaliation for the arrest of the
San Bias Chief Quilo last November on
the charge of burying his grandson alive.
Other advices declare hostility of the
Indians to the establishment of sta
tion at Porvenir under Panaman rule,
resentment against attempts to force
the Indians to cease wearing nose rings
and the closing of a school conducted
by an African woman missionary fig
ured in causing the attack.

Old G. Hog Back in Hole
Six Weeks More Winter Prom
ised as He Sees Shadow

The ground hog yesterday made his
annual exit from his hole and entrance
into print. He saw his shadow and re-
turned to his dwelling for six weeks
more slumber. That means, according
to tradition, that winter is going to
hang on until the middle of March:
Being a country resident, the critter
had no difficulty in returning to his
hole and probably has no idea how
fortunate he is that he didn't come
out upon New York street to see his
shadow. Anything so undersiung as
ground hog would have been sunk WIN
