Proofreader Knows
Nothing of Shepherd

Among the II jurors eventually dis
covered in Chicago who had never
heard of the Shepherd case was a
proofreader. Another was a street car
conductor. 1t Is not so surprising
that a conductor of a street car never
heard Of it. He is a busy man taking
up faresAlnd telling people where to
get off and has little time for social
gossip. AS he is on his feet all day
he naturally goes to bed directly after
his evening meal.
1t might seem strange. however,
that a proofreader never heard of the
not so unreasonable as 1t appears su.
perficially. Consider the proofreader
He reads not only everything that
gets into print but a good deal that
Is thrown out, owing to the pressure
at the last moment Of more important
matter. A proofreader cannot be ex-
pected to distinguish and remember
what got into print and what was dis.
carded by the editors and makeup
men. Everything the proofreader
reads therefore is equally unimpor.
tant, since 1t may or may not have
been thrown out.
Moreover the proofreader does not
read for information and the salts
faction Of his curiosity. but reads as
a servant of the public and all other
readers, protecting the public against
abuses Of the language. With this
responsibility Of preserving the Ian
guage resting upon him a proofreader
has little time to consider what he
reads merely for his own qualification
and to expect him to remember every.
thing he reads is preposterous.-

United States never remits In its pur-
suit Of known fugitive. Remarkable
tales have been told Of these man
chases, some of them stretching
around the world, into the most re-
mote regions. Usually the fugitive
conceals his identity. slipping away
from one hiding place to another whom
his features are recognized and his
alias Is solved. DeKay, however. made
no concealment Of his identity, but
depended for his immunity upon the
difficulties Of making arrests in for.
eign countries on charges brought in
the United States. While he was in
flight the Great War was fought. That
interrupted the pursuit and increased
his chances Of evading arrest. While
he has been in flight his brother and
the former president Of the bank have
been tried and convicted and have
served their sentences. Had he stood
trial with them, and had he been con-
victed as they were. he would today
be free man instead OF a prisoner
facing prosecution and punishment.

operators and the miners to sign an
agreement which gave tho miners q
10 per cent increase in wages.
At that time production Of bituminous
coal. to be used as a substitute for the
hard coal. was speeded up; plans were
laid for giving bituminous coal pri.
ority in shipment over the railroads

and a campaign Of education to show
the users Of anthracite how they
might use the substitute fuel was out
lined.
The Presidents coal commission
submitted lengthy report, with many
recommendations: there was talk
about legislation by Congress to rem
edy such situations. But nothing
came Of 1t all. And now the anthra-
cite consumers, of whom there are a
great many in the District Of Column
bit and the Northern cities along the
Atlantic seaboard, are faced with an.
other shortage Of coal unless the op.
orators and the miners are able to
agree prior to September 1. Whether
they will agree or not is a gamble.
But If they fail to agree and the mines
are shut down there is not the slight
est doubt that the consuming public
will suffer. at first from Inconvenience
and cold and then financially as the
prices of fuel mount.
1t is not q pleasant prospect. even
in the torrid season. The miners and
the operators should be made to un-
derstand that the public has had its
fill of such happenings; that it does
not like to shiver or to be shaken
down." The price of anthracite can
not increase continually without its

abandon IL and find some other kind

accustomed to using a cheaper substi.

might have it's effect on both miners
and operators.
There Is ample time before tho ex-
piration of the present agreement for
the miners and the operators to reach
settlement. Those leaders on both
sides who have the interest Of the in
dustry, the workers and the public
clearly before them should be able
to work the matter out successfully

Hard Coal Negotiations.

Processes leading to an agreement
between anthracite coal miners and
operators or to a disagreement and a
suspension Of mining September l are
to be set in motion within short time
The tri-district convention of the
miners opens in Scranton, Pa, a week
from today. The demands Of the
miners will be formulated, it is re.
ported, including an increase of 10 per
cent in wages. About July 10 or
little later committees representing
the miners and the operators will meet
to discuss the terms of a new agree.
men. to be effective on and after Sep.
tember l.
According to published reports, the
mine operators are likely to demand
a reduction in wages Of from Is to 20
per cent. In addition to the demand
by the miners for an increase of 10
per cent in their pay they will seek
again to have the "check.off" system
adopted. by which the union dues are
collected by the company directly from
the pay envelopes and turned over to
the union.
The stage seems to be set for an
other struggle in the coal industry, a
struggle in which the public suffers
greatly, but during which it is com.
PEELED to stand by until the opposing
forces have settled their differences.
So far, and notwithstanding the Sc.

had in the past, no plan Of adjust

the consequent suffering due to lack

Believe Headlights May
Have Caused Tragedy
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The numerous comments that have
been made by Mr.. Eldridge and others
on the tragedy. that occurred the other
night on Kiingle Road Bridge. as pub
lished by you and other Washington
papers, fail. in my judgment, to In
clude what might be a correct guess
on the cause OF the automobile leav-
ing the bridge. Mr.. Eldridge gave the
impression that the driver was an
inexperienced one because he had had
q license only a few weeks. He also
has indicated that the poles in the
middle Of the bridge may have been
the cause OF the accident. He has
even indicated that the narrowness of
the bridge may have been a contri-
buting cause. He may be right or
wrong In all of these particulars. I
wonder II II has ever occurred to him
thst the primary cause of this dis
aster may have been due to the bril-
liant headlights on automobiles. AS
there was no one left to tell the tale,
the real cause may never be known,
but the fact remains that the brilliant
headlight is undoubtedly a potential
cause of night driving accidents. ANY
one who has ever ridden in an auto
mobile on a narrow road or narrow
bridge facing a brilliant headlight
knows how completely blinded is a
driver facing it. Every automobile
driver has doubtless had to stop his
car many a time on the approach Of
an automobile with binding head
lights.
1t ought to be clear to any one that
1t is impossible to have brilliant head.
