torials as well as reports as to in
fluence public opinion The Ameri-
can delegation at Paris never parti-
cipated in such tactics and was often
at a disadvantage for that reason be-
cause the other delegations permit
ted secrets of the conference to leak
through their reporters so that more
prominence was given to what the
newspapers of other countries were
saying than to the American view
point. Democratic politics was also
an important factor. One of the pre-
miers insisted that if a certain
thing was made public, he would lose
his political power at home In the
interest of that individuals political
fortunes, the other nations agreed to
keep mum. There is nothing to pre-
vent the same thing from happening
at Washington in November nor is
there anything to prevent the head
Eof delegation from announcing in
secret that the public opinion of his
country would not permit his agree
ing to certain propositions Which if
exposed to view might be fully ac-
cepted by the. people of his country
Public opinion is a much abused
word in international conferences
and it usually has a great deal to do
with domestic politics.
Senator Harrison intends that
there shall be no undue influence
exerted over the press during the
conference and he has incorporated
a paragraph in his resolution calling
upon the American delegation to see
to it that censorship. of every kind,
direct or indirect, is tabooed.

RAILWAY ENGINEER Is A.HERO

The following exceedingly read
able story appeared this morning in
the Raleigh News and Observer:
He has been often in the moving
pictures-the handsome engineer
who from his cabin on a speeding To-
comotive, sees a sweet baby girl tod
ding along the track ahead, jambs
but not halting the heavy train
sweeping down a grade, climbs out of
his cabin, down to the cowcatcher in
front and scoops up the infant to
safety, with just a scant fraction of
a second to spare.
Yesterday it happened in real
life, not 80 miles from Raleigh, and
with, more thrills than any moving
picture ever had the Imagination. to
put into it. Engineer j. H. Furman
was the man; Gertrude Collins, aged
three, was the little girl; the Nor
folk Southern was the road; Smith S
water tank. two miles beyond Kip
ling, toward Fayetteville, was the
place; and 3:05 the time. And he
had never had time to practice the
feat, with a sack full of straw instead
Of a real live, dimpled-faced little
girl.
Engineer Furman was taking
twenty-five loaded freight cars to
Fayetteville, and running at about
the usual speed of freight trains.
Rounding sharp curve and going
down grade toward the Cape Fear
River and Ellington, he saw the little
girl walking along and unsteadily
down the track Her back was to-
ward him. With one hand Furman
yanked the whistle-cord and with the
other the emergency brake lever.
'fhe child was rs yards away.
''The speed of the train was slack
ened, but the weight of the cars be-
hind thrust it on. Furman saw that
it could not stop before it ground
the child to bit. Without an instant
of hesitation he ran forward on the
running board, climbed down on the
pilot. The locomotive was then with
in few feet of the still unheeding 6
child. He reached down and grasp
ed her by the arm and pulled her ur
to safety. Her worst injury was a
slight bruise on the head and a
scratched foot. The train was then
moving at ten miles an hour"

phone from Richmond this morning.
Mr.. Lucas talked of injunctions, and
this course may be pursued. He Sc
cured Bradley's promise to reverse
his decision with reference to Wilson
if Judge Landis did not throw out
he Rocky Mount games on account of
the excessive salary limits, but threw
them out on account of the bonuses
that were paid, since Messrs West
and Lucas, and SO also Mr.. Eagles
and the Rocky Mount clubs have
conclusive evidence that the all the
teams in the League have exceeded
the salary limits in one way or
another.
The Landis decision was for the
purpose of purifying baseball, and
to eliminate all underhand and ques-
tionable methods. 1t is believed that
if Judge Landis had known that all
the clubs were equally guilty that he
would not have thrown out the
Rocky Mount games but would have
told the clubs of the Virginia league
that they were all guilty and to go
on and play out the series as they
were playing them, without discredit-
ing. any team.

FARLEY REMINDS BRYAN
OF OLD DICKENS PAPERS
(By United Press)
NV William Jennings Bryan)

. By William Jennings Bryan)
Washington, Nov. 28.--Dickens, in
his mud fog" papers, strikes the
system of~importance that dates back
as far as his day. An important ma
tional meeting was assembling and
budgets were being used every few
minutes announcing the arrival of
some distinguished participant.
remember that one budget was
dated IL o'clock midnight and then
at 1915 another dispatch was sent
announcing that nothing had happen
ed since the previous budget. Such
an announcement might be made to-
day. No formal action has been taken
during the past twenty-four hours,
although tKe program has been re-
ported along several lines. The local
papers announce "that great secrecy
surrounds the conferecs who are
supposed" etc.
Japan is reported as still insisting
on an increase from GO per cent to
20 per cent in her proposition, but
it is intimated she will not carry her
insistence to the point Of disrupting
the conference.
