utes late. Three minutes were made
up and then an order to pick up
four passengers at Elkton-a stop
which would mean being shunted
to a siding from the main tracks.
Out of Elkton with the four pas
sengers aboard and nine minutes
gone, Charlie Bush bore down on
Baltimore. There he had just Al
minutes to bring his train over the
40-mile stretch to Washington. The
engine whirred along the rails and
the 1900 passengers on the 16-coach
holiday train of November %, 1887,
all unaware, were pulled into Union
Station 80 seconds ahead of time.
A Literal-minded Neophyte.
Mr.. Bush liked to recall his early
days as a brakeman. Having had
little schooling, he couldn't spell
the name Of his own position.
When he was told to brake" a car
he said he took his boss literally,
uncoupled the car and let it roll
down hill At the bottom it ran
into a lime shed.
If you call breaking up cars
"braking, you're good at It," he
recorded the boss as saying.
Mr.. Bush was a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and the Epworth Methodist
Church, where he was very active.
Surviving are his widow, Mary:
two daughters, Mary Louise and
Grace Bush, and two sons, Charles
r., jr., and Rudolph M. Bush.
Funeral services will be held at
pm. tomorrow at the Lee funeral
home, with burial in Congressional

As the months roll into years;
It's so hard to bear life's burdens
Without YOUR thoughtful care.
No one knows the sorrow
Within my heart concealed;
No one konws the heartaches
That cannot be revealed.

Thoughts of you are very near;
We who love you sadly miss you

Ex-Wife Of Younger
Prince Cantacuzene
Found Dead by Gas
Body in Lower Fifth
Avenue Apartment Is
Identified by Brother
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Mrs.
Clarissa P. Curtis Cantacuzene, 80,
member of a socially prominent
Boston family and divorced wife of
Prince Michael Cantacuzene, Rus
sian nobleman, was found dead to-
day in three-room apartment near
lower Fifth avenue.
Police said she died a suicide by
Illuminating gas. Thomas Curtis, a
brother, identified the body.
The prince, from whom she was
divorced in Waukegan. Ill.,, in 1884,
is the son of Prince Michael
Cantacuzene, once aide de camp
of the late Grand Duke Nicholas of
Russia, and Julia Dent Grant,
granddaughter of Gen. Ulysses s.
Grant, 18th President of the United
States. The elder Cantacuzenes
were divorced several years ago.
The body was found in the kitch-
en- with gas escaping from five jets.
The dead woman's brother could
give no reason for her death. She
was said to have been a social serv-
ice worker.
Prince Michael obtained a di-
vorce on a charge of desertion. He
testified that he and his wife were
married in Nahant, Mass, in June,
1921, and that she deserted him in
1888, going to the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Pelham
Curtis of Boston, and refusing to
return to the Cantacuzene farm
home at Wadsworth, ILL.,
Attorneys said an agreement had
been reached settling property rights
and fixing the sum the prince would
pay toward the support of their two
children, Irini, then 9, and Rodion,
then 6. The children at that time
were with their mother in Boston.
Prince Michael, a graduate of
Harvard, was in the real estate
business in Chicago. His mother,
Princess Cantacuzene, has been a
leader in women's Republican ac-
tivities.
The New York Social Register
lists Mrs. Curtis Cantacuzene with
an address near Park avenue.

Charles Bush, Dean Emeritus
of Railroad Engineers, Dies
Piloted Truins on
New York-D. C.. Run
For As Years

Union Station was a sadder place
this morning. Most of the corps of
railroad men had learned that
Charlie Bush, dean emeritus of rail-
road engineers, had died late yes
terday afternoon at his home at
922 F street N.E.-just within ear
shot of the train sounds he'd known
for half a century.
Since December, 1887, Mr.. Bush
had been living in retirement-after
driving trains some 3,650,000 miles
without a major accident over the
"Pennsy's" Washington-New York
run.
When he retired he went down
to his little farm in his native
North Carolina. But after a year
he began to miss the sounds of
whirling steel on steel, the famil-
lar snort of the electric locomotive's s
horn and chats with old friends at
Union Station.
Mr.. Bush would have been u next
November, though his looks belied
his age. He had an alertness that
comes from watching the track
ahead for so years.
Came Here at 10.
At 10 he first came to Washington
to work for the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road as brakeman. The following
five years were spent in learning
the work of brakeman and a fire
man and the regular railroad routine.
Then came As years in the cabs of the
crack trains on the Washingotn-N New
York run. For many years Mr.. Bush
had been at the throttle of the Con-
gressional Limited and was the first
man to drive the train from WASH
ington to New York in a fiat five
hours. This might be considered a
snail's pace today when the run is
made in hours and IS minutes, but
Mr. Bush could recall the time when
eight hours was considered breath
taking.
His final trip before retirement was
his most trying run. Bound to
bring his train into Union Station on
time. he got off from Pennsylvania
Station in New York City a minute
late. There were five stops and
eight minutes to make them in on the
scheduled run of 226 miles in 2l5
minutes.
At Trenton, the minute was made
up and Mr.. Bush was one ahead of
schedule. Three minutes were lost
in two Philadelphia stops. He had
run into drizzle and darkness, and
it was pitch dark when the engine
pounded into Wilmington six min

Fourth Annenberg Indictment.
1t was the fourth time within
three weeks that Mr.. Annenberg
had been indicted by Federal grand
juries here. Other charges involved
income tax payments. In addition,
a special grand jury returned a
presentment last week in which it
reported the Annenberg interests
had monopoly in the race in
formation field. 1t stated, how
ever, that the antitrust law did
not apply to illegal activities" bu.
suggested that further action
should be taken in the form of
Federal legislation and enforcement
OF State laws against handbook
gambling.
One indictment, containing 18
counts and covering 240 pages,
charged the defendants with mailing
hard cards" and wall sheets" to
six bookmaking establishments in
Illinois, Michigan and Iowa. These
hard cards" are the forms on which
the bookmaker keeps his own records
on each race, while the wall sheets"
are posted to make this same in
formation available to players.
While the bookmakers were named,
they were not indicted, as a spokes-
man for the United States attor-
ney's office declared the Government
was latter bigger fish,"
Basis of Lottery Indictments.
The basis of the lottery indict-
ments was said to rest in these facts:
That bookmaker sold tickets on
the promise to each purchaser or
bettor that he would receive chance
to win a prize dependent on the out
come of certain horse race or races.
The player made his selections, which
were recorded on the tickets by num-
bers and symbols. Pay-offs then were
made in accordance with the results
flashed by the Nationwide News
Service, although the bookmakers
generally had limit on the amount
that would be paid on any bet.
USUALLY 20-1 to win; 81 to place
and Al to show.)
In addition to payof limits, the
indictment charged, bookmakers had
adopted many other means to insure
the success of the lottery so far as
they were concerned. One of these
was described as making available to
patrons "a multitude of diverse and
contradictory predictions, opinions
and alleged information recommend
ing particular horses, known as tips
and handicapping"
The grand jury said this informa-
ton was contained in large part in
periodicals published under the
ultimate control of Mr.. Annenberg.
Among these we're the Daily Racing
Form, the Morning Telegraph and
the American Racing Record.

BUSINESS INDEX
 UP FOUR POINTS
General Activity Through out New England in July
 Is Good

Boston, Aug. 30-( -(SpeciaD D-Gen- eral business activity in New Eng land during July increased four points over the rate prevailing in June, according to the index of gen. eral business activity compiled by the New England Council. The in- dex in July was 96.5 per cent of the estimated normal, as compared with SPA per cent in June 1889 and 84.8 per cent in July 1888.
 Five of the seven components at- tained new highs for the current year during July after seasonal al- lowances had been made. Ranked in order of their percentage gains over June, increases in July were recorded in boot and shoe produc- ton, metal tonnage receipts, en- ployment in Massachusetts, (exclu- sive of shoe and textile employ menD, cotton spindle hours active, and wool consumption. The large increase recorded in boot and shoe production during July reflected a peculiar situation existing within that industry due to a two weeks advance in deliveries of fall shoes.
 Greater than seasonal increases in July over June were recorded in wool consumption and boot and shoe production. Three of the com- ponents of the Councils index which normally decline in July, as compared with June, reported in- creases, namely: electric power pro- duction, employment in Massachu-

 The AAAA is comprised of 12 unions of actors, grouped loosely over various fields of entertainment. Ac- tors Equity, legitimate stage branch, took the lead by suspending Miss Tucker. She belonged to both stage and night club unions. She is CO., starred in Leave It to Me-" so when rehearsal is called Monday morning, the rest of the cast, Equity members, will refuse to work with her. An understudy will be called to take her place. Then the stagehands will walk out because Miss Tucker be- longs to their union.
 The Screen Actors Guild, union of all movie stars, has pledged Equity its full support. If other branches of the AAAA follow suit there will be general walkout of radio, circus, concert, stage, opera performers.

Theatrical Strike May Close Up All Theaters
May Start Monday in New York, When Show "Leave

New York, Aug. 30-(UP)-A na- tion-wide theatrical strike appeared imminent today.
 It will be jurisdictional war be- tween actors and stagehands.
 It is expected to start not later than Monday, when the show Leave It to Me" reopens.
 Stagehands probably will picket the show.
 Then actors and stagehands everywhere will refuse to work to- gether. It might close every the- ater in the country and put million dollar movie stars in the picket lines.
 The stagehands union--Interna- tional Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes-has chartered a group of night club and vaudeville perform CTS tha tthe actors union-Associ- ateo Actors and Artists of America had expelled. That group is the American Federation of Actors, pre- sided over by Sophie Tucker, and with Ralph Whitehead serving as executive secretary.
 Whitehead Storm Center
 The executive council of the American Federation of Labor, to which both stagehands and actors belong, ordered the IATSE to give up the AFA. The IATSE failed to do 50. The AAAA offered to take the AFA back if Whitehead were removed from office pending a new AFA election in 90 days. The trouble centers about Whitehead. The AAAA expelled the AFA on charges that union charity funds went to buy Whitehead new automobile.

 For the accommodation of those using railroad and bus transporta- ton there are available at moderate co st sightseeing tours to Mount Pisgah, Mount Mitchell, Lake Lure.
