AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.

Statistics recently compiled show
that the great majority of railroad
presidents began as brakeman, track
walkers, loco, lotive firemen or tele-
graph operators. The late Ralph
Peters was an exception.
He did not begin at the. top. al
though he was the son Of one of the
most noted railroad men of the
South; but neither did he begin at
the bottom. Mr.. Peters received a
good education. beginning in private
school and finishing by graduation
from the University of Georgia. He
started his railroad career in a white
collar as superintendent and pur-
chasing agent. Industry and observa-
ton taught him the practical side OF
railroading which the men who were
to be his fellow executives later were
learning in cveralls.
When Mr.. Peters died suddenly he
was head of the Long Island system
and one Of the ablest and best
known rail executives in the country.
He rose BIZ hard work, it is true !;
but his life should encourage the
young college man who fancies that
no high place in the railroad industry
is attainable save by those who have
begun on the section or in the cab

here.
Delegates began arriving as early
as Friday. Sunday found two-thirds
of them here.
Sessions of all three organizations
were called promptly and business
expedited. Harmony prevailed.
Many of the guests were quartered
in private homes. The local post had

had willingly agreed to take one or
more delegates, and the hotels showed
an equally fine spirit in cooperating.
So there was room for all.

CHILD DIES
FROM BURNS
AT NOR NAL
AUDIT0RIU

Fire in some mysterious manner
caught in the flimsy headdress of one
of the little children on the stage at
the Normal school, just preceding an
entertainment to be given by the pu-
pills of the training school as part of
the Normal commencement exercises
on Saturday night and resulted in the
death of another child, to whom the
blaze was communicated. Far more
serious consequences were narrowly
averted.
The dead girl is Amaia Baca, seven
year-old daughter of Espididion Baca
of Flagstaff. She died Sunday af-
teronon.
There were about 40 children on the
auditorium stage. The front drop was
down and the orchestra had just start
ed to play A ! sudden screaming
arose behind the curtain. At first no
attention was paid to it. Those in
front of the curtain thought some one
of the children was playing a prank or
there was some mild cause for excite
ment.
DR.. L. B. McMullen, president of
the Normal school, who was playing in
the orchestra, was only a few feet
away. He jumped, grabbed the little
girl, threw his coat around her and
threw her on the floor. Professor G..
+. Keuzenkamp, head of the manual
arts department, also playing in the
orchestra, was instantly at his side,
tearing the girls clothing away.
The little sufferer was taken at
once to Mr.. McMullen's home. In the
meantime physician had been sum-
moned. She was soon removed to

administered and she rested we'll all
