MIAMI. Fla, Nov. 15.-Pinned be-
passenger and made almost uncon-
scious by the schock of his fall, A.
r. Davis, of New Smyrna, Fla, flag
man, of the Inflated Florida East
Coast train which left the tracks at
Wabasso Friday night and took a
toll of four dead and eighteen injur-
ed, averted more serious results by
freeing himself and successfully flag
ging a southhound train which was
bearing down upon the scene of the
wreck.
With but ten minutes to spare, the
flagman eXtricated himself, made his
way the length of the wreck, obtain
ed signal flares. and tagged the on
coming train.
How the flagman's heroism avert
ed second tragedy and a possible
greater toll of dead and injured is
told by w. M. Clemens, managing
editor Of the Knoxville (Tenn.) Jour
nal, a passenger on board the Miami
Bound train.
The flagman, who was standing

coach left the track, fell beneath a
under the debris ofthe wrecked
car.
First Thoughts of Train
Uninjured but stunned by the fall,
his first thoughts were of the train,
carrying perishables. which entities
it to run on passenger train time,
and which at the last station had
been reported ten minutes behind
the passenger train.
1t took the flagman six or seven
minutes, he told Mr.. Clemens, to
collect his wits and extract himself
from beneath the body of the dead
woman. Then, with his flagman' S
equipment scattered somewhere be-
meath the wreck, it was necessary
for him to run almost the length of
the train to obtain other fusees, with
which to signal the on-rushing
freight train. He dashed back, alp
proximately $50 yards, lighted the
fuSee just in time to stop the com
ing train from crashing headlong in
to the derailed passenger coach.
1.-THE first thing that greeted my
eyes when L stepped out of the coach
was a girls body, headless and man
gled. One child was thrown from
the car with such force that her
body was almost entirely covered in
the dirt. Another had lost both legs.
The cries and groans of suffering
men and women, and of those search
ing in the darkness for their loved
ones was inexpressibly horrible.
RescuerS Work in Dark
'The work of recovering the in.

which handicapped us severely.

other, working on the inside of tho
overturned coach, had flashlight

NET-DRY BATTLE
SEEN IN CONGRESS
At SHORT SESSION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
first real fight of vets against dryS
in congress since enactment of pro-
hibition is to be staged on the floor
of the senate in the coming short
session.
Investigators dominating the
CouZenS committee are determined
to pry the lid off the prohibition
department and make public all it's
forcement, where, it is charged, Sc
Drys on the other hand served no.
tice that any attempt to modest the
enforcement bureau would be re-
sisted strenuously.
The Couzens committee resumes
its sessions here Wednesday and
within a few days it is planned to
go into the angle of prohibition en-
forcement. where, it scharged, Sc
rious irregularities have occurred.
Mixed up in the same tussle is
the Champion bill passed last ses-
sion by the house and now before
the senate. This measure would
place more stringent regulations
upon manufacture and sale of indus
trial alcohol and is being contested
strongly by all except the ardent
drys.
Manufacturers Protest
Manufacturers of industrial alco-
hOl have deluged the offices of SEN
ators within the last week with let.
ters contending that the bill is OPP
act. The policy of congress, the
manufacturers say, has always been
to encourage the supervised distribu-
ton Of industrial alcohol, but the
Champion bill will drive them all
out of business.
Senator James r. Couzens, chair
man of the committee which has
been authorized to investigate the
internal revenue bureau-of which
the prohibition enforcement office
is a unit-Will arrive here Monday
to complete his plans for the bat
tie. He is said to be convinced the
committee is lawfully empowered to
go into the acts of the prohibition
bureau.
On the other hand, Senator James
Watson, of Indiana, who quit the
craftsmanship Of the investigating
committee because it threatened to
tamper with the prohibition unit
declared he would countenance no
such inquiry
IF such a step is taken it wifi
be only over my dead body" he
<aid last night. There is no justi-
tication for such move. 1t has
no good motive behind it."
COuZens Leans to VETS
Couzens, while not an outspok en-
wet, was opposed for reelection by
the Anti-Saloon league and has the
backing of all the mild, as we'll as
the rabid i-prohibitionist in the
senate.
Up to this time, the vets have
never staged a determined fight
Moves for modification of the Vol
stead act have been feeble and did
not receive the full wet support.
Now however, vets in the senate
believe they have a real issue and
are determined to fight it out.
The investigating committee will
first go into the tax situation in
the revenue bureau and this must
be disposed of before the prohibition
angle can be taken up. The latter.
however, will be reached before
congress begins session on Decem-
Der l.

The ceremony was performed by Mr.

is conducted to raise the funds with

Plea to Use More Seals.
In Washington the association di-
rectors reported a slowing up in the
mail sale returns this morning and
wish to remind the public to use the
seals freely on all OF their Christmas
letters and packages. The total cash
received is still nearly $4,000 short
OF the necessary amount to meet the
next years budget for health work.
Beginning today, the agents of the
Metropolitan Insurance Co, under the
direction OF John Dolph, who is one
OF the directors of the tuberculosis
Association, are to distribute to all
their customers little folders showing
what the local association is doing
for the health of the city. Similarly
the local agents of the Northwestern
Insurance Co. are distributing the
folders under the direction of Wellace
Hatch, a director of the association.
Insurance associations have reason to
understand and appreciate what the
tuberculosis Association has done
and is doing to reduce the death rate
from tuberculosis.
