PULLMAN PORTER TOSPEAK
AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
Student Body to Hear Knight of Sleeping
Car i'm Unusual Address

New York, March 2O.-N. n. F.
Service)-Possibly the greatest event
in the life of j. b. Ford, a Pullman
porter living at TG0 East 221st street
will take place next Tuesday morning
when he will lecture to about 100 stu
dents taking courses in Transports
ton at Dartmouth College. Porter
Ford, who runs as a porter-in-charge
between New York and Winsted
Conn, will deliver the lecture at the
instance and invitation Of Prof. NAL
colin Keir of the department of eco
nomicS.
The invitation came as a surprise to
Ford. He remembered that on Feb
ruary 9th, last, he had an extended
conversation with passenger who
rode from New York to Seymour. That
passenger he found out afterward was
Prof. Keir of Dartmouth.
"After returning to Dartmouth
the professor wrote him a few days
ago, Il came to the conclusion that
it would be valuable experience for
our students if they could meet you
and have you tell them about the life
and experiences of a Pullman porter.
Accordingly, 1 wrote to Mr. Cook, the
superintendent of the Pullman Com
pany, and asked him if he would re-
lease you for a visit to our campus" J"
81, Tod tl,nt 10 %
had given his consent.
Not only will Mr.. Ford's lecture be
an important event in his life. 1t
will be an important event in the life
of the Negro in the United States, as
nothing of its kind has ever happened
before.
Several railroad vice-presidents and
a number of transportation specialists
have lectured to the same classes at
Dartmouth. An honorarium will be
paid Ford for his mornings work. Ae-
commodations have been reserved for
him at the College Inn, (which the col
lege operates for the entertainment of
it's official guests"
Mr.. Ford was born, November Is,
1884, in Ridgeway, S. G. At the age
of seventeen, he was still unable to
read or write. Nevertheless, he en-
tered the Public School of Benedict
College, Columbia, S. c., and in 1908
was graduated. He went to high
school one year. While in school he
worked his way, first as dishwasher
and later as chef.
He entered the Pullman service in
Richmond, Va, first as a car cleaner.
Later he became foreman and in
1907, a porter.
In 1908 he transferred to New York,
where for the past twelve years he
has worked as porter-in-charge on
the Winsted Express of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
Ruth Ford, his fourteen year old
daughter, is student in Hunter Col
lege High School, this city, Last
year she won gold medal at Public
School PIG There are two other chill
dren. Mrs. Tene Ford, his wife, also
comes from South Carolina.

The Case of Harry Thaw.

The law rightly holds that an individual
who commits a crime when not mentally
responsible should not be punished therefor
1t also holds that when sanity shall have
returned to that individual he may be re-
leased from custody This, too, seems right.
The case of Harry Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White, is now presented in that light, with
efforts under way to have him freed to make
the best of what remains of his life after
years of incarceration in various asylums.
Thaw was found to Be insane when he
killed White, and he was pronounced insane
at various times thereafter. This resulted in
his continued Imprisonment, for he was not
regarded as a safe person to be at large. The
duty of the state to society was to prevent
such menace to life and property being
free to destroy while mentally irresponsible.
Alienists now agree THAT Harry Thaw is
sane. Five noted experts appointed by a
court reached the decision that he has been
cured and is safe to be at large. They do
not go so far as to say that he is to re-
main sane They make no guarantee what
ever 1t was believed by many who studied
the case at the time of Stanford White 5
death at the hands of Thaw that the slayer
had been mentally unbalanced by the events
that led up to the killing. Undisturbed, Harry
Thaw at that time probably was sane. Cross
ed, interfered with angered and aroused he
became insane and irresponsible.
If Harry Thaw is sane and the best opin-
ion Of experts is that he could be released
with safety the state might be justified in
freeing him. But that the state ought to keep
close watch over him is obligation to
society that it cannot in justice overlook or
neglect Harry Thaw still may be so close
to the dividing line between sanity and in
sanity that an unusual occurrence might
upset his reason, in which case he again
would be a menace.
