through raging flood waters here
yesterday to rescue two men ma
rooned on a tiny island, who had
been clinging to the branches OF a
tree for three hours.
The men we're swept down the
current OF Hazel Run, when a
bridge collapsed. They were near
drowning when the slim and
pretty brunette rope in her
teeth-fought through the current
and reached the tree.
All were pulled to shore on the
rope.
Lewis Cook, %, was working on
the bridge spanning Hazel Run
when it suddenly collapsed.
Cook narrowly escaped death
IN the falling bridge and was swept
by the current. helpless, far down
stream until he banged against
the tree on the tiny island, not
more than six feet wide.
He clung there for half an
hour, yelling without an answer
to attract attention, until Sam
Nails saw him.
Nails plunged into Hazel Run
and swan out to the island in an
attempt to rescue Cook. But once
there, he found the water rising
by the minute and neither him
self nor Cook was able to swim to
shore.
Finally, Miss Jackie Dillon, %,
ignoring the protests of her
friends. plunged into the stream
with the rope. She battled the
current with strong strokes, while
those on the banks cheered her
on. Finally she reached the men.

MEXICO, D. F., December 81
Armed reserves held back aroused
residents of Suburban Coyoacan today
as 81 young members of a revolu-
tionary Red Shirts" organization,
charged with Staying five defenseless
Catholics just outside their church,
were transferred to the Federal Peni-
tentiary.
One of the Red Shirts was beaten
to death by the townSpeople, and au-
thorities ordered the prisoners re-
moved after reports that residents
were arning for an attack on the jail.
-Four men and a woman of the crowd
which emerged from worship fell dead
under the volley fired at close range.
The Red Shirt group was holding an
anti-clerical demonstration almost at
the door of the church.
General Conflict Feared.
Serious developments, including the
possibility Of general religious con-
flict, were feared as a result of the
killings.
President Lazaro Cardenas was ex-
pected to take vigorous stand against
the Red Shirt organization and prob
ably order its dissolution. Govern
ment spokesmen denied the Red Shirt
group is an official organization and
said it would not be protected.
The outbreak was the elimination
of campaign against "the church, re-
ligion and God" which the Red Shirts
have been carrying on for month.
They first made their appearance in
the capital as an escort for Thomas
Garrido Canabal, Governor of Ia
basco and secretary of agriculture in
the national cabinet.
One Beaten to Death.
As the crowds left the church after
tered the anti-clerical demonstration,
Missed the speakers, and, according
to numerous witnesses, the Red Shirts
then drew revolvers and opened fire.
The assailants, all of them between
II and %, fled to the police station.
When searched by federal authorities,
Only one pistol was found, but wit
nesses testified arms previously were
carried away by several friends. The
angered crowd later seized one of the
Red Shirts and beat him to death
on the church steps.
From the penitentiary. leaders Of
the imprisoned youths sent message

tended they fired in self-defense after
the town priest had urged the crowd

The injection of Mrs. Franklin D.

the D. A. r. must keep out of politics
appears today to have accentuated the

Mrs. William A. Becker, candidate

has praised a book which listed Mrs.
Roosevelt and number of other high
officials in the Roosevelt administra-
ton as radical sympathizers.
But Mrs. Flora Myers Gillentine, op-
position candidate to Mrs. Becker, has

States to the last ditch"

Speedy Action Pledged on La,u
against Gambling in District
Effective Weapon for Var on Numbers
and Other Games of Chance
PrOuided in amendments.

Obvious holes and faults In the
present District laws against gam
bling operations, through which many
racketeers have slipped in the past,
would be plugged by the terms of an
amendment to the code of laws pro-
posed by the Commissioners as an i'm
portant feature Of their new legis-
lative program.
Congressional leaders in charge of
District matters have promised to push
the measure up for early consideration
by Congress in order to place more
effective weapons in the hands of
police in their campaign against gam
bling, convinced that the numbers
games and other gambling operations
have swelled crime here.
Definite and repeated provisions to
hit at the numbers game operations
were inserted in the measure, drafted
for the Commissioners by Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman.
The proposed bill, however, goes
much further than this. 1t is designed
to enable police to wage a much more
effective war on all forms of gambling.
Not only is the numbers game added
to the list of illegal games of chance
for money, but penalties would be in
creased in some cases; owners of prop
critics used in gambling operations
would be held more strictly to account,
and search and seizure provisions
would be strengthened.
One reason for past ineffective police
work against numbers game runners
or agents has been the hole in the
present law which makes it impossible
to prosecute successfully unless evil
dence is taken at an establishment
from which the game is operated.
This situation would be met by a
provision of the proposed new law
which reads: THE possession of any
such tickets, certificates, bills, slips
tokens or other devices (used in the
numbers game) shall be prima facie
evidence of purpose or intent of sell

RAIL PAY INCREASE.
BEGINS TOMORROW
1000, 900 Employees to Have
$3,250,0O0 a Month
Restored.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 81
More than 100000 employees of the
United States railroads will be bene-
ficiaries of pay roll increase amount
ing to approximately $3,250,000
month which takes effect tomorrow.
1t will be the second one-fourth re-
duction of pay cut imposed Febru-
ary l, 1882, which since that time has
cost these workers, members of the
81 railroad brotherhoods, a wage loss
estimated at nearly S400,000,000.
The original cut, amounting to 10
per cent, was accepted by the brother
hoods only after a long controversy
with the railroads arrangements
which was renewed again last Spring
only to be settled by an agreement to
reduce the amount of the slash in
three stages.
Next Restoration April 1.
Tonorrow's pay roll increase, under
terms of that agreement, comes six
months after the first one-fourth re-
duction of the pay cut. The final
per cent will be restored April l, 1885
at which time the brotherhood en-
ployes again will be back on a pre-
depression wage basis.
The brotherhoodS, however, do not
intend to rest upon this basis. In
line with the Federal administration
policy of spreading employment by q
shorter work week, representatives o1
the brotherhoodS say they will con-
tinue their fight for a six-hour day
at the same wages now paid for eight
hours.
At the same time they will press
Congress for enactment of the ''ful
crew" bill, which in some cases woulc
increase the number of men required
to operate a train.
I'VE have ample justification fol
pressing for these measures" Davic
B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Firemen and Engine
men, said today.
Points to Rail Hazards.
"Greater efficiency in railroad
equipment-bigger and faster locomo-
tives, longer and heavier hauls-has
been increasing chronological unem-
ployment for many years, and unless
some better way is found to take care
of the men thus thrown out of work
the relief should be accomplished by
putting a shorter work-day into
effect"
A reduction of railroading hazards
both for employees and passengers, il
sought in addition to economic bene-
fits through the full crew bill.
Some of the electrical and OF
powered trains, Robertson explained
are operated with only one man al
the controls, whereas the full crew
bill would require the employment o1
an additional man as helper.

SCIENCE ADVANCES

IT is not entirely without significance that
the first bit of news from the annual meet
ing of the American Chemical Society, at
Cleveland, was announcement of discovery
of an exceptionally poisonous new gas.
This gas. according to DR.. George H. Cady,
research chemist, is a fluorine compound
somewhat like phosgene gas 1t produces
death if inhaled; furthermore, blanket of it
in a trench would explode. with disastrous
results, if its temperature were raised slightly.
All in all. it looks like a very neat little addi-
ton to the chemical warfare units arsenal
Thus we have another scientific triumph
whose chief result will be to make it a little
easier for us to help wipe the human race
of the earth. The future is dark indeed I'M
less we can learn to use the discoveries of
science for constructive ends.

N of the Inflated liner MORO Castle seems
to have lived through one of the strangest per-
sonal tragedies that any seafaring man could
be called on to face.
Here was a man who had won position
as first officer on a large modern steamship.
Being human he undoubtedly was looking for
ward to the day when he himself might COM
mand such a vessel. He was nearing the top
of his profession. He had a right to dream
his dreams of what would happen when he got
to the top of the ladder.
Then. unexpectedly compressed into few
hours came command-accompanie by the
most overwhelmingly emergency responsible
ties that can go with it, His captain dead,
he himself put in charge, a sudden fire as
mysterious as any in the annals of the sea,
the ship lost and scores of passengers dead al
most before he had time to realize that the
command was his-did any sailor ever pass
through a more tragically amazing set of
circumstances?

IF there Is one thing sacred to the farm

1t is one OF his great compensations. He &C
cepts no man as his boss. neither an employ
er nor an agricultural leader"
How far this may apply to present AAA
programs may be open to question; but Mr..
Young undoubtedly did put his finger on
something Of great psychological Importance.
the fact that the American farmer finds
IN his occupation not only means of earning
a living. but way Of life.
Farming. that Is has compensations Of
its own which never show up on the ledger
at the end Of the year. Any farm plan which
is to De of lasting value must make full rec
ignition Of the fact.
