has no chance TO get ahead, and soon

Almost as a Miracle He Has Passed Thru Crises and Now Sees
 Health Ahead.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, June 2.-Many friends of former Governor Charles H. Brough are calling upon him at his residence on Scott street in this city, since his return from the hospital and his recovery sufficient to permit call- CTS. Governor Brough had frequent relapses during his long illness and several times his life was almost de- spaired of, but medical aid of the highest type and most devoted nurs- ing on the part of Mrs. Brough, to- gether with added vitality given him at critical time of his illness by the transfusion af large quantity of healthy blood, given by his brother, have been the cause of saving his life. His recovery is almost miraculous. He is still very weak and greatly emaeiated, having lost considerable weight, but his appetite is good, his interest in affairs unabated and his outlook upon the future bright and cheerful. He is able to walk about the house, altho he is urged to be ex- | tremely careful not to overexert his strength. He is now confident that 1T a few more months he will have re gained his wanted strength and vital | ity,

GERMANS ATTACK FRENCH
 POST IN UPPER SILESIA
Cut Wires, Drive Back Sentries, Sur round Headquarters, but
 Tanks Rout Them.

0ppeln, June 2.-French soldiers, forming the garrison of Beuthen. city in southeastern Silesia near the old Polish frontier, have been at tackled by forces organized by the German inhabitants of the town. Re- ports state the Germans in the fight ing numbered 5000. The French used tanks in charging the Germans and are said to have gained the upper hand. There have been many Ger man casualties, 1t is reported, but the French have not suffered losses. The situation in Beuthen is compli- cated by the presence of Polish in- surgent forces around the city. The Poles began a fight with Germans 1T. the outskirts of the town on Sunday and when the French were attacked the Poles rushed to their assistance. Reports from Beuthen are not entire ! " clear, but it would appear that the 1 French commander refused the prof. fered aid, as it is said the French are holding the Poles from entering ] the town.
 The attack by the Germans on the
 French is said to have been well | planned. Telegraph and telephone
 wires between the French headquar.
 ters and the barracks were cut, sen
 tries driven back and the headquar- ters detachment surrounded. Tanks were rushed to the scene and the 1 Germans, who were armed with pis.

.l75 RAILROADS ASK.
 CUT IN LABOR BILLS.
Denounce Extra Pay for Overtime and Uniform Wages Over Entire Coun- try-Eastern Lines Forescast
 Need for Reductions Soon.

Chicago, June 6.--Extra pay for overtime and uniform wages for the same classes of railroad employees over the entire country were de- nounced and their abolition demanded by railroad representatives appearing before the United States railroad labor board today. About 175 roads appeared before the board in the sec and wage reduction drive this spring, by which the roads are attempting to cut their labor bill.
 Over the objection of w. s. Carter, head of the enginemen and firemen, John G. Walber, representing the east ern railroads, asked for substitution of prorata payment instead of time and one-half pay, the present rate, for overtime in freight and yard service. Mir. Carter declared such a proposi- tion was matter of rules rather than wages and had no place in the present hearing.
 Violates Economic Laws. Mir. Walber, however, insisted that time and one-half was injected into the wage schedules as pay increase measure" and the railroads felt that it should have attention now.
 ''The standardization of wages for all classes of railroad conditions, is a serious violation of economic laws, . MT. Walber continued. "Continua- tion of such a policy would be in vio- lation of the transportation act. In any circumstances, the largest area to be considered by the labor board in determining wage scales should the rate regions as established by the in- terstate commerce commission"
 MT. Walber declared that changing costs of living and wage scales would soon require still further reductions in wages.

REFUGEE TELLS OF DISASTER
Bridge With 100 Persons Swept Away,
 Santa Fe Agent Says.

Colorado Springs, Col, June A. Charles s. Railsback, special agent of the Santa Fe railroad of the stricken city of Pueblo, first to reach Colorado Springs said on his arrival here at 2 o'clock this afternoon that the scenes of death and destruction in the South ern Colorado metropolis are beyond description in words.
 Railsback reached Colorado Springs in motor car that he drove part way over the sunken roadbed of the Santa Fe railroad.
 ''I saw one span of the Fourth street bridge collapse and go swirling down stream with not fewer than one hundred persons--men, women and children-on it" he declared. "The loss of life must nave been terrific and l doubt if the exact number of cas- ualties ever will be known.
 T saw three rooming houses 20 into the torrent with lights burning in every window. Scores of the occu- pants must have drowned like rats. "
 .'The greatest loss of life was in three sections of the lowlands, inhab- ited mostly by foreigners-'the Grove near Clark's mineral springs; the lowland, proper and 'Peppersauce' bottoms.
 "When left the city rescue parties in rowboats and other craft were patrolling all the inundated sec tions seeking dead and living. The city was under martial law, with ali rations being issued on orders of the infantry commander"
 "The fires which caused great dam age Friday night" Railsback contin- ued, had been estinguished when l left. Only the torrential rain saved the city from complete destruction by fire before the Hood swept down. The fires were started in most cases by lightning and burning timbers were lifted and blown thru the streets spreading the flames thru the business and residence sections"

 MANS FIGHT AT SEA
Open Dory, Riding Waves As Right As if Under Fisherman's Hand,
 Picked Up of Banks.

As IT tnder flSnermanS Hand,
 Picked Up Off Banks.
 Boston, June 4.--A lone mans un- successful fight for life in an open dory at sea with little food or water was disclosed here yesterday when the fishing schooner Waltham brought in his body, picked up yesterday 25 miles east of Highland Light and west of the Georges fishing banks.
 The body was found in the bottom of a dory that was riding the waves as right and tight as if under fisher mans hand. In the stern stood banl- boo pole with piece of red attached to it, marker of distress. The body was badly emaciated. By it's side were the bones of several fish plucked clean.
 Captain Clifford Hopkins of the Waltham, said the extent of emacia- tion indicated that suffering from thirst and hunger must have been great, and that it was days before death delivered the man from his troubles The fish that he caught ap- parently was his only food, and he had no fresh water.
 The man was we'll dressed for his calling. He appeared to be about 45 l years of age.

PATHETIC STORY
 OF DEATH TRAIN
A Young Girl Weeps, an Old Lady Smiles, as Flood Strikes Passenger Coach-Eye Witness Sees Some
 Crushed Between Trains.

Colorado Springs, Colo, June G. Frank Ducray, sheriff of Mesa county, whose home is at Grand Junction was one of the survivors of 200 passengers on Denver and Rio Grande train No. 3, which arrived at Pueblo Friday night at 8 p. m. Just as the train pulled up to the bridge over the Arkansas river leading into the union station, it was stopped, he said.
 "We were left there,' he said. "On the next track was a Missouri Pacific train. We had been there only a short time when we heard the roar of waters and flood lapped at the coach steps and began rising rapidly. Some of us went up and down in the cars quieting the passengers, many of whom were screaming, moaning and praying
 "A young girl was sitting in her seat crying l stopped to assure her and comfort her She said she was from Chicago, and sobbingly called out Daddy. daddy I told her we would look after her and it cheered her. But-well, l saw her swept away as the water rushed into the coach and carried us thru windows and doors.
 An Old Lady Smiles
 An old lady sat in her seat, smil- ing, just before the water flooded in on us She declared that if it was her time to go, she was prepared, and kept on smiling. l reckon she died in her seat. I saw young man sit ting in an upper berth with his mother, consoling her. She was praying
 "In the water we chung to the coaches of the train which were sway ing back and forth with the waves and striking the coaches of the Mis- souri Pacific train.
 Screams and cries of anguish arose. l saw some people go to their deaths crushed between the two trains A great pile of lumber came rushing down upon us, sweeping over us, striking some of those clutehing there with precarious hold on the cars. They were torn loose and went floating down to death. l saw a man break his way thru the top of coach only to be washed down by the food
 HOn either side of us, houses and barns and other buildings were swirl ing down. Many people were cling ing to them. 1 saw two women on the top of a house. The structure struck the bridge and crumbled like an egg shell saw their white hands moment on the water
 Morning came. The waters had been receding. Those of us who were left-about sixty--were able to reach the ground and walk around in water above our knees.
 Some of the unconscious women and children were left in the dark. + was a scene of devastation and death It was awful.
 T cannot say what the loss might be- know it must be far over a hundred lives, for at least that many, l am sure, were lost off our train and the Missouri Pacific train, tho more from the last named train were found alive. Pueblo's disaster is one of the worst in the history of the west ?
