Red Cross Juniors
Adopt French Orphan

Jean Geerarerdt of Paris, France,
has reason to bless the Junior Red
Cross of ST. Johnsbury, which has as
sumed the responsibility of his educa-
ton. The lad is 16. His father was
killed in the war like thousands of
other in his devastated land, there
was no monev for Jeans education
Through the Red Cross the local Jun
iors became interested in his case and
they have decided to give him three
years course at vocational school
in Paris. This will fit him to earn
his livelihood and to aid in the care
of others. jeans education will cost
the St. Johnsbury organization $50
yearly and the funds for the first
year are available. From a bazaar
given in the early winter the sum of
S75 was netted and additions are be-
ing made by sacrifice boxes whose of
ferings in many cases represent real
sacrifices.
Through Miss Lora Narney the eX
ecutive secretary of the Caledonia
Chapter of the Red Cross correspond
ence will be begun between the juni-
ors and their ward and new interest
in the fatherless boy will be develop
ed. Superintendent c. C. Hitchcock
of the public schools is chairman of
the Junior organization and pupils of
the various schools are looking for
ward with much interest to writing
to the French boy and to the receipt
of his letters.

JUDGE STAFFORD REJECTS
SALE PLAN OF PACKERS

WASHINGTON, March 2-Tke
substitute proposal of Swift G. Co.,
and Armour & Co., for the sale of
their stockyard interests, was dis
proved today by Justice Stafford in
the District Supreme Court. The
court allowed 30 days for the taking
of testimony as to the value of the
company's holdings after which they
will be given an opportunity to offer
their stock for sale at a price then
fixed, or the court will appoint trus-
tees to take over the stock as recon-
mended by the Department of Jus
tice The court held that the plans
proposed by the two companies "seem
ed to make easy a long period of
continued ownership on the part of
the defendants and in the meantime
provide too feeble a control on the
part of the court" Justice Stafford
said the defendants were willing to
sell if they could get fair price but
that the question of fair price
should be decided only after both
sides are heard.

MRS. ARRY HAD
NARksW ESCAPE
in BIG WRECK
Car Ahead of One In Which
She Was Riding Was
Cut In Two

Mrs C. NJ. Berry, who was q pas
senger on the Michigan Central train
wrecked Sunday night near Porter,
Indiana, reached home Tuesday after
noon, apparently none the worse for
the fearful experience. Aside from d
bad shaking up, Mrs. Berry expert
enced no injury in the wreck which
nearly fifty lives were lost. She was
in the Michigan Central coach just be-
hind the one through which the New
York Central engine plunged and in
which so many were killed or several
injured. The largest number of
fatalities were in this coach. Only one
passenger, a woman, in Mrs. Berry's
coach was injured. She was in the
diner and in the crash her shoulder
was thrown out of joint.
"The first intimation | had of any
Mrs. Berry told a Gale
reporter, was when we
began to bum along on the rails
Then came terrific crash. The ten
passengers in our coach were badly
shaken, but one had little realization
of what had happened in the car
ahead. That was learned largely
from newspaper accounts. After
few moments trainmen took us in
charge and we were escorted to the
little station at Porter and later
taken to Michigan City. Here a
special train was soon made up and
all were sent to Detroit which is
about forty miles from Michigan c ty.
There we were cared for until we left
for cur destinations"
Asked about the fatalities in the
wrecked car, Mrs. Berry said she
saw little of the horror of the tragedy
The merciful darkness hid the awful
ness of the accident, and she was on
the other side of the train from which
the crash took place. She saw people
with lights moving about but heard
little and had faint realization of the
awful tragedy so quickly we're the un-
injured removed.

La Cuardia Delays Vote
On Paving Appropriation
Opposes 5000, ,646 Grant, Urg-
ing Holiday" Until Price of
Asphalt Comes Down

Five borough presidents figuratively
jumped on one Aldermanic president
at the meeting of the Board of Esti~
mate yesterday when the latter stood
between them and desired appropri-
alton of $5,049,646 for repavlng various
streets. The borough presidents re-
quested immediate consideration Of
their application for money. Major
La Guardia objected, giving as his
reason that Mayor Hylan ought to get
in communication with the mayors of
the large cities and declare a repaving
holiday until the price of asphalt was
reduced"
"If the mayors of the large cities
declare a repaving holiday they might
as we'll declare a traffic holiday" said
Borough President Curran Of Manhat-
the city's commerce and wellbeing,
Such holiday is out of the question.
You might as we'll declare City Hall
holiday, Mr.. Mayor, and that might be
benefit to the citizens"
Mr.. Curran declared that some of
the street pavements were so worn
that they could not be patched again,
and it was essential to lay new pave
ments. The other borough presidents
supported Mr.. Curran in his conten-
tions.
Aldermanic President La Guardia
finally withdrew his objection to i'm
mediate consideration, but when it
came to vote he voted in the mega
tive. AS the adoption of the resolu-
ton required unanimous vote, being
the first time on the calendar, it went

Chaloner to Build Dance
Pavilion for Farmers
John Armstrong, Himself, Will
Lead Grand March for His
Virginia TOWnfolk

John Armstrong Chaloner Of Wash
ington Square and "Merrie Mills" Cob
ham, Va, announced yesterday that
his experiment with moving pictures
as a farm amusement has succeeded so
well that on May Day he will branch
out further in the amusement busi-
ness and build dance pavilion for his
country neighbors in Virginia.
Feeling that his motion picture the
atre, a converted cowshed, would be
rather warm in the Southern summer.
and recognizing the uselessness of
keeping the young folk on the farm
through the winter, only to see them
leave for the city when the time ar
rived for planting the crops, Mr.. Chal-
oner cast about for summer attrac-
tion and settled on the dance.
SO ne will put up pavilion with
floor 100 feet in diameter, the only
floor anywhere around. There will be
provision for a canvas shelter in case
of rain, but the object will be moon
light and starlight hops. AS master of
ceremonies, Mr.. Chaloner will lead the
grand march, with certified chap
erone, to the jazz of the player piano
now used in the picture show.
Government authorities at Washing
ton have asked Mr.. Chaloner's coopera-
tion in spreading agricultural informa-
tion at his shows, he says, and the Vir-
ginia Good Roads Association and
Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce
already have held meetings in his thea
ter to boom community movements.
He has booked films explaining new
methods of planting, growing and har-
vesting crops and schemes for making
farm life easier.

arrested before the meeting opened,
having stationed themselves at the door
to prevent leaders Of the opposing fac
tion from entering.
There were about 1000 at, the meet
ing and the confusion was appalling
when the police arrived. They arrested
the eight guardians Of the door and
left twenty patrolmen there to main
tain order The twenty patrolmen were
not able, it is alleged, to keep Sophie
Saninia from swatting Ike Strauss on
the nose, though they did manage to
arrest her after the damage had been
done. The cases against all nine pris-
oners were adjourned in the police

The meeting was called to decide
whether the suspension of Samuel Fin
kelstein by the directors for advocating
a reduction in wages was in accordance
with thesby-laws and whether the con-
sequent suspension of the board of
directors and the reinstatement of the
president by the national union were
in accordance with the bylaws.

The 9th Assembly District Repub-

at Al Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, passed
a resolution requesting the Republican
legislators of the district to be guided
in their attitude toward the traction
problem by the plank in the Repub-
lican state platform, adopted at Sara
toga last July, which promises the
greatest degree of "home rule" to
towns and villages in the state. The
resolution was passed after f. II. La
Guardia, President Of the Board of
Aldermen, had made speech oppos-
ing Governor Miller's plan for control
of New York City railways by state
commission.
When he had completed his reading of
the "home rule" clause Mr.. La Guardia
asked: "Who now is the best Repub-
liean?" and was applauded.
