MAN FATALLY !.
HURT BY TRAIN
Try to Identify Body of Man
Hit by Engine Near Hall
Avenue

At noon today, the unidentified
man who was struck by a Central
railroad train shortly before o'clock
this morning, on the Central tracks
about two hundred feet north of the
Hall avenue bridge, passed away
All efforts to identify the man ur
to an early hour this afternoon were
without avail but is believed his
family, if he has one, will communi-
cate with the police when the father
fails to come home tonight.
An unidentified man, presumably
foreigner, lies in a critical condt-
ton at the local hospital as a result
of being hit by the Central railroad
paper train on the Central railroad
tracks, two hundred feet north of
the Hall avenue bridge, shortly be-
fore 5 o'clock this morning
According to an investigation
mad by Acting Sergeant John Rea-
ger who was standing at the Cen
trail railroad tracks on Smith street
at o'clock when the train carrying
the body came along, Engineer
Edward Horton said the mans head
was lying on the tracks when &c
first noticed the body The train
was going slow and was brought to
stop in good time 1t is probable
that the man had fallen and was
stunned, or it may be a case of at
tempted suicide
Upon orders from Acting Ser
geant Reager, officer Arthur Peter
son called Lieutenant John Morris
at police headquarters to send the
police ambulance to the Central
station and officer William Clooney
was detailed on the case. The body
was taken to the hospital and the
man is being attended by DIR. G. w.
Tyrrell.
In addition to a compound frac-
ture of the skull, the man received
a broken jaw, broken rib on the left
side, laceration of the left eye and
left ear. Little hope is held for his
recovery.
The man wore blue working
shirt, brown pants and black shoes.
He has dark hair and a dark mus
tache and is said to be about forty
years old. The police officers could
find nothing on his person which
would assist in Identification.
G. c. Apgar was the conductor on
Train 301 which struck the man and
from him all details regarding the
accident were obtained. He told the
police the accident occurred al
Huntington street.
Sergeant Frank Kasprzak and OFF,
Ger Joseph Gaydos are working to.

PRESIDENT IS
ON LONG TRIP
Alaska Will be Ultimate Of
Harding and Party-To
Make Several Speeches

WASHINGTON. June 20-Prest-.
dent Harding was on the way today
toward realization of one of the
hopes he has held ever since he
entered the White House nearly two
anI half years ago
The chief executive has looked
forward practicaiiy ever since
March 4, 1921, to the time when
he could leave the capital long
enough to$visit the vast territory of
Alaska and there study first
hanG the problems which he feels
are still lacking the solution that
will make for proper development
of the territory That time came
todaE with the departure from
Washington of a special train carry
ing Mr.. Harding, Mrs. Harding and
a party of seventy with Alaska as
the ultimate destination.
Two years ago this summer Mr..
Harding was too busilv engaged in
getting his administration into rum
ming order to think of making a trip
to Alaska, although even then he
was convinced there was a problem.
or rather series of problems, there
that required solution. Last summer
he went so far as to consider prelim-
mary plans for such trip but con-
gress continued in session through
the summer months and he finally
decided to postpone the visit until
this year.
One of President Harding's last
official acts before his departure to-
day for the West was to pass judg-
ment on number of pleas for clem-
ency for persons imprisoned for
violation of war laws.
1t was indicated that in several
cases combinations were granted
but officials said no announcement
would be made until later in the
day.

CAUSE FOR HIGH RENTS

ATLANTIC CITY, June 20
Present practices of contractors bid
ding for the services of each others
employees will run rents sky high.
declared William M. MacLachlan, of
Detroit, at the sixteenth annual con-
vention Of the National Association
of Building Owners and Managers
here today.
"The real reason for the high costs
of building labor today are the
methods employed by contractors,
who finding themselves short of
bricklayers for example, offer the
bricklayers in another contractors S
gang a higher wage" said Mr.. Mac
Lachlan. 1T finally results in a no
limit game with the builder out on
a limb, whose only recourse in re-
covering the huge sums that are
now needed to build, is to raise rents
above present levels"

At Mt. E7NA
Town at Base of Volcano
Threatened by Several
Streams of Lava

CATANIA. I.aly, June 20 (By The
Associated Press) The situation
around Mount Etna is still most
grave. The town of Linguaglossa
remains the center of anxiety for it
is threatened by several streams of
lava which resemble the arms Of an
enormous octopus. Five great ten
tacles oS molten rock and several
smaller ones are stretching out to
gather in the community, and the
town seems helpless, although this
morning it could not be determined
which stream would ultimately do
the work of destruction.
Lingua glossa, in fact. seems al
ready dead in its mantle of black,
sutfocating ashes. Il looks indeed
as though it had donned mourning
for its own funeral, which can hard
ly be far distant.
Up through the heavy smoke and
ash curtain an airplane occasionally
works it way, reporting back TO the
threatened villages the progress oi
the eruption.
The only life in Linguaglossa itselt
is provided by the troops and the oc-
casional professions OF townspeople
invoking the mercy OF Heaven to
save them from the impending dis
aster. However, between Lingua-
glossa and the oncoming lava there
Is a. scene of great activity. All the
engineer troops in Sicily have been
gathered there and are engaged in

hoped to deviate the lava stream &c
the right and left Of the town, turn
ing 1t down the steep slope into the
valley below. This work could hard
ly be more difficult, for the heat
dust and cinders and sulphurous
fumes attacked the lungs and eyes o.
the workers to an extent that makes
their labors almost impossible.
Heartrending scenes are encoun-
tered along the roads leading from
the vicinity of the mountain to Ca
tania. All imaginable means OF
transport are employed and all kinds
of animals COWS, goats, sheep and
even pigs, are used for dragging
along the carts of the refugees. In
some cases aged peasants were car
ried to safety on blankets which the
members of the family slung
between them, forming a sort Of
hammock.

100 Ways
To Make Money
By BILLY WINNER
If Could Make Boxes

If Could Make Boxes
IT HERE is always a demand
for boxes-flower boxes,
packing boxes, crates, etc
If I could make boxes TO order
l would get my share OF TINS
business.
I'd go right into a home, II
necessary, and make boxes on
the spot for people who were
moving. Or perhaps I'd make
whole set of porch boxes for
one house.
But first 1 would tell people
where to get me-my telephone
number. This would be very
easy with Evening News Want
Ads, because Perth Amboy peo-
pie have learned to look to the
Evening News when they want
something done. And they would
see my message.

due to the fact that small capital
is required, and one may be sup

E. II. Gary Of the U. S. Steel Cor

do all in his power to abolish the

1t will require at lie st 10000
more laborers, he says, and will
add about Is per cent to the cost
of the finished product.
Churches, welfare organizations
and philanthrophic societies, that
have worked for years to eliminate
the long inhuman shift in the steel
mills, rejoice at the announce
ment. They now await its eXecu-
ton, for they think Gary the only
man who can do it.
Gary expects to realize the g.

try.
