FATAL RAILROAD
ACCIDENT MONDAY
Matt Murphy Struck by 500 Line
Locomotive While Returning
From Days Work at Ironwood

Matt Murphy, for many years q
resident Of Hurley, was struck by q
Gao Line railway locomotive shortly
bafore six o'clock Monday evening
ana sustained injuries which proved
fatal He died at the Ironwood
danot before an ambulance arrived.
Ne suffered fracture of the skull at
tbe base together with other injuries.
Mr.. Murphy was returning to
Hurley from Ironwood after his
DAVIS work. He made his home
with his brother, Peter Murphy, on
Second avenue. He was struck by
500 Line railway locomotive, the
accident happening on the Wisconsin
side Of the Montreal river bridge,
and hurled high into the air. The
train consisted of the engine and a
eaboose. Trainmen picked up the
injured man, placed him in the
caboose and returned to Ironwood.
physician and an ambulance were
summoned but Mr.. Murphy passed
away before the ambulance arrived.
It is believed that Murphy, who
was walking on the track, did not
hear the approaching locomotive.
Another reason advanced as the
reason for the man not hearing the
train is that the Chicago & North
western passenger train No II was
backing up to Ironwood and it is
probable that the noise of the
Northwestern train drowned out the
noise of the 500 Line train so that
Mr.. Murphy did not hear the train
coming from his rear in time to avoid
being struck, his attention being
conferred on the train on the opposite
track. The distance between the
Soc Line tracks and those of the
Northwestern is not very great at the
point where they cross the river
Mr. Murphy was employed by the
lrOnwood water department. He
had been idle for a time on account
\ Of curtailment of operations, Monday
being his first days work following
the idle period. He was 81 years
II old.
Funeral services were conducted
at St. Mary's church Thursday
morning with burial in the Hurley
cemetery,

James j. Davis, Secretary Of
Labor, speaking at Gloucester,
Mass, said 1--WE hear much talk
nowadays about the relative pur-
chasing power of the dollar which,
many experts tell US, is in 1924 just
65ce of what it was in 1913. This
discussion is Improbable. Our
1924 dollar is worth 100 cents in
1924, and looking backward will
not make it worth penny more. We
have adjusted ourselves to the 1924
dollar. We are paying more for
things we need and we are con
stantly needing more things, but we
are likewise earning more than we
were in 1913"

duties fall upon the county clerk as

against a particular fund or account
on payment, without knowledge of
such overdraft, or orders drawn by
the county clerk who is the county
accountant" the ruling stated

or and the worse off,; understand.
ing between those who employ and
those who are employed Under
standing between ali these is possible
but understanding is impossible be-
tween the Bourbon and the radical
Accordingly, a contribution on our
side to understanding is the avoid.
ance of Bourbonism.
Some of us may well re-examine our
conception of property rights. If those
who own property and those who are
charged with it's conservation recog-
nize this fact: That property-right is
best defended, not on grounds of ira
dition, but on grounds Of usefulness,
there is chance, through open-mind-
ed discussion, for understanding be-
tween them and those who vote. On
the other hand, with the Bourbon who
holds that property-right, unchanged
BILE in all it's aspects, is not discussable
in any aspect there is no chance for
understanding. There is chance for
clash. He promotes the class con-
seriousness that is his danger and the
to conserve property into the future.
Is it possible, in the second place,
that some of us may well re-examine
our conception of free speech? Thus
also we may help, each his mite, to
avoid misunderstanding between Bour-
bon and radical Some of us would find
ourselves assuming free speech as the
right of those who accept the political
and social institutions in which we,
believe. Whereas the fact is, of
course, that free speech, short of in
element to law-breaking, is the right
of all of us. 1t is the right Of the
communist and the socialist as much
as it is the right Of you and me. II
we who believe in our political and
social institutions recognize this fact:
That free speech, short always of in
element to law-breaking, is the right
of those whose ideas we dislike not
less than of those whose ideas we
like, we promote understanding.
Indeed, let us go farther and say that
we had better abate somewhat of our
zeal for repressive legislation. Gov
eminent by falling can put out the
communist and the socialist, but can
not put down communism or social

STRAIGHT TALKS

"Why not, Aunty?" inquired Molly.
widows and orphans have always
been victimized."
'"They don't need to be- replied
Aunt Emmy. Every day better in
vestment advice is open to women.
Nowadays the banks MAKE their de-
positors feel that they can go to them
with their financial problems. The
more women have to do with banks
the wiser they become about the dis
position OF their money. In time
wemen will know enough to look
carefully into every investment be-
fore they venture. and to question
any promises to pay more than rea-
sonable return. 1t takes an expert
enced f1nancier to Judge if investment
is safe. Women as a rule do not un-
derstand the tragedies that Turk
around money. They love nice things
and naturally want them so they are
often led into foolish investments and
speculations because they seek to
crafty their wishes quickly. The So
called sure thing that pays enormous
dividends is usually sure loss.
Don't think, Molly, that mean
that women should not seek to get the
most out of their money. They
should But the way to get the
most is to keep it safe. They should
seek advice. Properly and conserva-
lively invested at six per cent and
the interest re-invested each year,
money will actually double itself in
twelve years. If you take $4,000 and
lay it away it will be only $4,000 to
the end Of time. If you put it into an
i'll advised investment-it might all
be lost overnight. But if you get
good advice and put it to work in
good investment it will be $4,000 in
q dozen years"

TELEPHONE COMPANIES
BROADCASTING POLICY
Scmmed-up by President Thayer
in Statement to Stockholders
Of Company

In q recent statement to the 80O,-
600 stockholders of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
President H. B. Thayer outlines the
COmpany's activities with regard to
radio broadcaSting. His concluding
statements are as follows:
eve have been asked what our
future policy viii be in connection
with radio broadcasting. The art of
radio broadcaSting is new and chang
ing. Speculation as to the future is
difficult and futile. The new prob
lens which are constantly presenting
themselves are being given the closest
study, but the details of our plans
could only develop as the art de-
velops. The general guiding prinA
ciples are not likely to change. They
are: that we keep in and abreast of
the development of the art and that
we encourage in every way possible
such development by others. We
shall make it possible, so far as lies
with us, for any one to secure broad
casting apparatus at moderate prices,
and for those broadcaSters who are
now infringing our patents, to con-
tinue their use under reasonable and
moderate terms.
Far from desiring the sole respon-
sibility for broadcasting, it is our
strong belief that, in the public'S in
terest and in our own interest,
nothing should be allowed to inter-
fere with any development of it that
may be proved to be beneficial We
heartily favor government control Of
R'"h activities and the federal legis-
Ia loi. that is pending has our cordial
support"

MIDDLEMAN's PROFITS.

Words Of objection on the part OF
the farmer against the middleman
often are in vain, but the farmer who
raises on his own acres all that his
table requires. the year round, places
himself in position where he is
largely independent of the middle
man. Often the remedy for many

CHINA SD|SPUTE
WITH FRANCE
NEAR END
French Also Sign Note Sent
BY Protocol Powers Situa-
ton is Clearing
By LLOYD LEHRBAS
international News Service.

Frances signature on the note
sent to the Chinese government
yesterday by the protocol powers
the United States. Belgium, Great
Britain. France, Italy, Japan and
the Netherlands--is taken in official
circles here as an indication that
the international political situation
in the Far East is at last showing
signs of clearing.
Although the powers at the Wash
lngton conference, provided meas
ures which would go q long way
toward putting China on her feet,
none of the nine treaties concerning
China have gone into effect as yet
because of the refusal of France
to ratify them until China and
France reach an agreement on the
gold franc dispute between the two
countries.
The general effect has been to
nbllify all Of the good expected
from the Washington conference
treaties, as far as China is con-
cerned.
AS the treaties provided for a
uutnDer OF reforms In emma, chlef
of which was the granting of an
increase In tariff of ~ per cent
which would replenish the Chinese
treasury, the gold franc dispute be.
tween the two countries has held
up the entire reform program advo.
Gated by the powers.
In yesterdays note, however. it
was definitely asserted that the
powers ARE willing and anxious
to proceed as soon as practicable
with the carrying out of the meas.
ures contemplated in the Washing.
ton treaties and resolutions and
France, through its signature, gave
its consent to that pledge.
Although no official views on the
subject have been given in Wash.
ington it is intimated that over
lures between the powers and
China as an outgrowth of the in
formal meetings of the Diplomatic
Corps in Picking have opened some
avenue by which China and France
can settle the. gold franc issue
amicably.
