BRATTLEBORO GIRL
RESCUES SMALL BOY
Helen Dorr Rushes in Front of Approach
ing Train In Lancaster, -. H., TO
Remove Child from Tracks.

Helen Dorr, daughter of Mrs. George
A. Stone of Myrtle street, recently per-
formed daring rescue of a small boy
preaching train. The story of her feat,
as told in a New Hampshire paper, fol-
lows:
THE quick action of Helen Dorr, a
13-year-old girl from Brattleboro, VT,
alone prevented her one-day'S stay in
Lancaster from being tragedy. In
stead she is well entitled to considera-
ton for a Carnegie medal. No movie
scenario writer has penned q thrill with
greater hazard than that enacted by this
little Brattleboro girl who snatched a
three-year-old lad from in front of an
approaching freight train last Sunday
inlay 29).
This girl had come from Brattleboro
with her mother, Mrs. Jennie Stone, and
some friends to visit Mr.. and Mrs. L..
A. Newman at their farm, not far from
the Fair grounds Little Robert Paul,
a three-year-old lad had come with
them. Some of the adults had gone
away and Helen, Bobby and Kathleen
Knight We're playing about the house.
Mr.. Newman and some of the men were
on the veranda. Every few moments
the children would appear.
AT about IL O'Clock. Helen looked up
and said. See Bobby sitting on the
track, and almost instantly was heard
the warning shrek of a whistle on a
Maine Central freight. The girl made
one dash through one barn door and out
of the other, jumped over the fence and
on to the track where the little fellow
sat at his play unheeding the approach
ing train. Helen grabbed the child and
jumped 10 safety without a moment to
spare. 1t seemed to the train crew and
the startled on-lookers as if she must
be struck by the engine which was being
brought to a stop as soon as possible.
The little girl was badly frightened when
it was over, but she showed real nerve in
the emergency.

mite results being accomplished. but with
an agreement on the part of participants
to meet again at , p. IN. today. No state
mentS were given out in behalf of either
operators or union officials.
At all the prior gatherings employers
have stood firmly for a reduction in wage
scales. rendering arbitration through
President Harding to determine the
amount, while the union representatives,
Offering TO negotiate on the basis of wage
scales existing March 81, have refused to
consent TO reductions and have made de-
mands for notifications of prior con
tracts.
While all the considerations affecting
the bituminous strike situation have been
deferred until Monday after President
Hardings return, government views Of
the matter were made available in part
through semi-official discussion In the
matter of the public's coal supply. two
''pinches' have developed. it was said. one
in the Northwest, to which a large por-
tion of coal is usually transported by the
Great Lakes in summer. and the other in
northern New England whence anthra-
cite is borne by coastwise shipping.
Both these areas are said to be develop
ing more or less Immediate need for
shipments Failure to get the usual
summer supply, it is believed, might dur
ing the winter congest railroads running
into both these territories.
1t was also authoritatively intimated
that the government. had suggested to
bituminous miners and operators in the
conferences now adjourned a scheme Of
avoiding the seeming impasse raised by
the employees inSistence upon district

been evidenced in the industry. it was de

Jesse Murphy, Philadelphia Prisoner
Says He Killed Man Rollins Is Con

BOSTON, July the full bench of
the supreme court today overruled the
exceptions taken by George Rollins, con-
victed of the murder of Ordway Hall in
1917, to the action of Superior Court
Judge Heating in denying a motion for
a new trial on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence. As result of this ey-
idence it is expected an application viii
be made to the governor and council
for pardon of Rollins on the ground that
Jesse Murphy, serving sentence in Phil
adelphia penitentiary has now confessed
that he killed Hall.
The court dismissed certain exceptions
taken at the hearing before Judge Keat-
ing and said that the superior court had
no jurisdiction to entertain such a mo-
ton for new trial as it had not been
filed within a year after the conviction.
as required by law. Rollins was con-
victed on June Is. 1918. The motion for
a, new trial was filed on Feb. 16 1921.
Referring to a statute passed by the
last legislature giving the superior court
the right to grant a new trial IN capital
cases at any time, the supreme court
found that the new law had no appli-
cation to the motion before it.
