Maryland Commuters Have
New Sensation on Rail
Journey.

Didja ever see a railroad locomo-
tive do the shimmy?
A Baltimore and Ohio locomotive
turned the trick yesterday afternoon
while attempting to transport 200
commuters from Washington to
their homes between this city and
Gaithersburg, Md.
Leaving Washington at 5:l5
o'clock the accommodation reached
Terra Gotta without mishap. Then
things began to happen.
A valve blew out. the train stop
ped; then 1t started; then 1t began
to shiver. A forward jerk, a stop,
a shove backward and then a trem-
BILE almost shook the passengers
from the seats. Forty minutes of
this sort of thing got on the nerves
of the passengers. They detrained.
The disabled locomotive finally
achieved a side track and the 4:45
accommodation picked up the com
muters.

U.S.. WILL DENY REFUGE
TO CORK'S LORD MAYOR

Lord Mayor Donald O'Callaghan, Of
Cork, who arrived in this country a
few months ago, as a stowaway ON
the thramp steamship West Cannon,
must soon depart from these shores
for ireland, according to an edict is
sued yesterday by Secretary Of state
Sharles E. Hughes.
O'Callaghan is now in New England
and delivered an address before an
audience of 10000 persons in Boston
last Sunday. He landed in this coun-
try January and the immigration
authorities ruled that he must return
to Ireland at once. His case was
brought to the attention of Secretary
of Labor Wilson, who ruled that
OCallaghan could remain in this
country as a seaman for q reasona BILE
length of time.
Further appeals were made by his
attorneys, Michael Francis Doyle. of
Philadelphia, and J. l. Fawsitt to the
State Department and II was finally
ruled that he would have to leave the
United States not later than February
4. When that time came, Frank p.
Walsh filed an appeal with the state
Department for recognition of the lord
mayor as political refugee.
When Secretary of State Colby
went out of office the appeal was
I1ft for Secretary Hughes to decide.
according to Secretary Hughes find-
ing, political asylum can be granted
only where the person involved is
sought by q foreign government for
a political offense. Inasmuch as
Great Britain has not made any re-
quest for O'Csllaghan, II Ia under
stood that the case of the lord
mayor will revert to the status
which II held prior to the fling Of
the brief. In that even O'Callaghan

The American girl. who is uniyer-
sally represented as free, independent
and self-reliant. abroad and even in
the remotest corners Of the globe. has
really come into her own.
Everybody knows what cl'nging
vine is like. The suffragists say they
didn't want to vote. They believed
womsn's place was in the home.
Soft. clinging. and wistful their
whole existence was wrapped up in
man. say the suffragists.
NO MORE CLINGING VINES
But now that women actually have
the vote there are no clinging vine
types of girls, except perhaps in So
cial circles and / have never seen
any even there" continued the fem
mist.
Every woman these days wants to
40 something. Home life no longer
absorbs all her time. No matter how
much she may love Der children and
her husband. duties to them do not
take up all her time. This. l think,
is largely due to the ease with which
she can perform household duties
since housework has been made so
light by modern improvements. The
vacuum cleaner is great labor saw
ing device.
THE clinging vines, as you know,
were the great obstacles In the way
of securing the national enfrsnchise-
ment The women were the ones who
made light of the slogan, Votes for
women"
POINTS TO OFFICES.
II was the women who scorned the
vote, and some OF them. clniging

ITO show you that am right
about the passing out of clinging
zines, have only to point to the
public and private offices of today.
They are filled with women. You
don't hear any women turning down
any plums, either. do you? But
there. is a grand cry against the fact
that women are not getting appoint
ments to public office. isn't there?
Man is no longer womsn's whole

common sense" said the sufragist
with an air of fnality.

ESSMENN NEED
RELIGION, HE SAYS
e. F. AIbee, Head Of Keith's,
Pleads for Christian Prin-
cipIes in Working World.

Only through much needed human
ad stments" and the acceptance by
employers OF religious teachings can
business be put on a sound footing In
this country. This Is the opinion ex-
pressed today by L. F. Albee. presi-
dent and principal owner of the b. F.
Keith theatrical circuit.
"Jf every employer would accept the
Great Masters teachings, namely BE
kind to one another! and have con-
siderstion for those less fortunate
than themselves, membering those
who contribute to their success by
daily toll, this country would be
placed on a foundation so strong that
no power could shake it," explained
Albee.
Though we are powerless to con-
troll international hatred and strife,
where unethical principles of business
tend TO create these conditions, we
can all work diligently on principles
OF liberality. kindness, consideration,
and can do our part in educating
those who have unethical standards
in business and who have no regard
for the toilers, except to get all they
can out of them. Observance Of
these human principals of business
conduct will eventually result in the
absolute security OF any business"
Albee has applied these principles
to the Keith organization. spending
the greater part of his time in bet
tering of conditions for the thousands
.of actors and actresses who work in
his branch OF their profession. 1t

81 DEAD IN WRECK

With 13 victims of the fatal head On
collision of two passenger trains on
the Newtnwn branch of the Reading
Railway. near Bryn .Athyn, Monday
morning. positively identified, and Ia
others who were supposed to be one
or the other of the two trains report
ed as missing, the death list now
appears to be at least u.
Scores of persons in the vicinity
heard the crash and ran to the scene,
which was. a narrow cut in the rocks,
blasted through many years ago when
the railroad was built.
Some of the bodies taken to the Hag-
erman morgue were so charred by the
flames in the wreck that they had to
be placed in baskets, and there was
only slight resemblance remaining OF
human form.
The first car of the crowded Phlla-
delphia train was the one under which
the other dead were. On top of it was
the tender of the locomotive. Both
had blazed all day.
The wreck occurred at 7.45 a. m
With terrific crash the two locomo-
tives came together and the light
wooden cars, such as are used on To-
cal trains. we're piled up on top of the
two engines.
