PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1S.-Locked

sealed concrete and steel vault in the
city treasurer's office last night a
knowledge of the Morse telegraph code
probably saved the life of Arthur
Brenner, assistant city treasurer, it
became known today. A mouse,
locked in at the same time, failed to
survive. and when Brenner was res
cued its body was found.
Brenner entered the vault "a room

minutes before closing time ye1terday

there, the big steel doors swung shut.
He shouted for help without attract

ner was on q balcony in the rear. He
felt his way down stairs, pulled open
every drawer and piled the books on
the floor to get the maximum amount
of air possible and then slept for
awhile, with his face as near the bot

sumption that slight amount of air
might get through at that point

WIRELESS PLANT
Station at Pensacola Will Be
One of Four for Entire
Railroad System.
FOR GENERAL BUSINESS
Installation of Equipment Will
Be Completed at An
Early Date.
FOR GENERAL BUSINESS

The Louisville & Nashville railroad
company has purchased wireless out
fits for installation at Pensacola, New
Orleans. Mobile and Louisville for the
transaction of general railroad busi-
ness, according to information from
various officials, including r. r.
Hoggs, telegraph superintendent for
the system, who was recently in PEN
sacola.
According to informal jon available,
the wireless stations win not be used
for handling train dispatching orders,
but will be used for other general
railroad business. Train dispatching,
it is said, could not well be handled
by witeless because there are as
many as 25 trains moving on the di-
vision an one time and the orders
would cause confusion.
Installation of the new equipment
will be completed at an early date, it
is announced, and it will constitute
the first wireless system adopted in
the American railroad service.
