Passengers Have Narrow Escapes

tional News Service. |
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Serious
violence marked the opening of the
second week of the traction strike .
early today. Elevated trains on both
the East and West Sides were at
u}cked with revolvers, bricks, bot
tles and stones. Many passengers
had narrow escapes from being seri
busly injured, in one Instance a bullet
lodging in the woodwork of an ele
vated car a short distance from a
passenger’'s head. |
Windows were shattered and per-l
sons in trains thrown into panic. In}
every instance, however, the attack-f
ers succeeded in making their es
cape before the police could reach the
roofs of buildings from which mis
siles were thrown.
Efforts to resume surface car traf
fic on a larger scale than has been
attempted since the strike went into‘
effect were hampered today by pieces
of wood and hits of metal placed Inl
the underground trolley slots byi
strike sympathizers.
Traffic Congested. ‘
At One Hundred and Tenth street
and Lexington avenue iron hooks
were found wedged in the slot. Pieces
of wood were jammed in at Four
teenth street and Eighth avenue and
at Twenty-third street and Seventh
avenue. .
Traffic on the subway and elevated
lines was normal early in the day,
although the congestion was marked
because of reduced service on the
surface lines. Hundreds crowded the
downtown platforms of the various
stations and many were left stand
ing as trains packed to the limit
passed by with closed doors.
The refusal of Union railway offi
cials to allow strikebreakers to choose
their own routes caused friction at
the West Farm barns. Several men
took off their uniforms and quit work,
admitting that they did not intend to
work on *“lean” runs, wl.le fellow
strikebreakers waxed rich on busy
routes.
Probe Continues.
The public service commission to
day continued its probe into the
causes of the strike on the Third Ave
nue surface system, the hearing hav
ing recessed to give Louis Fridiger,
attorney for the Carmen’s Union, an
opportunity to confer with Organizer
Fitzgerald of the Amalgamated Asso
clation.
Labor leaders proceeded today with
their efforts to tie up various
branches of industry in a sympathetic
walk-out. Their efforts met success
at a branch office of the Adams Ex
press Company, where 50 drivers went
on strike, demanding an increase in
wages, but stating that they were also
acting in sympathy with the traction
strikers. Ebployers throughout the
city feared that this action was the
forerunner of a general strike by the
teamsters.
Garments DeLuxe
It was the stroke of the brush and
not the mixing of lead and oils that
made masters of those who painted
their souls on canvas.
It 1s the art of Jraping—the talent
one has for deoigning—that puabn
one man forward while the other
marks time.
Fabrics are for all those whe can
or care to buy. Putting together 1s
a mechanical skill in which some men
excel, but the man who interprct'
your peruona]ity—your character—
and fashions clethes to fit that bcing.
occupies a high place in the estima
tion of those competent to c]nuify.
To be sure. we have magnificent
woolens—as fine as the looms can
producc, but more than that, we
profess originality and the desire to
bring it out.

Buried Pension Money
MAGAZINE, ARK. Sept. 15.—More
than six thousands dollars in gold
and silver currency was plowed up on
the farm of the late Colonel Evans, near
here, by his son-in-law. Evans' chil
dren say the money was buried by their
father, who died refusing to tell where
the wealth was concealed.
The sum represents pension money
Evans drew from the Government in
the last twenty years. He never used
a cent of the pension money. As soon
s his voucher arrived, he always
cashed it and then buried the money.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.—Mrs. Julia B.
Burton admits that for seven vears
Earl A. Burton was an ideal husband
to her. Two years ago the change
came, and it came with such decided
emphasis that Mrs. Burton could hard
ly believe that her husband was the
same man. For seven years Burton, a
teacher, had arrived punctually for
dinner at his home at No. 407 West
Seventy-first street. His evenings
were spent at home with his wife or
at the neighborhood movie.
Just what brought about the change
Mrs. Burton still professes entire ig
norance. However, she has begun suit
for divorce in the Superior Court. Ex
cerpts from the divorce bill tell, as
nearly as possible, what happened to
Burton,
As the wife alleges, for example:
“Until 1914 (they were married in
1907) he was an ideal husband. Then
his manner underwent a sudden
change, and since last Christmas he
has been staying out late at night and
has constantly been seen in the com
pany of other women.”
Here is where the ingvitable stenog
rapher appears in the role of the “oth
er woman” and enters the marital
drama of the Burtons as the wife
avers:
“For the past thres months he has

devoted himself to a ‘certain ltenog:
rapher.’ He has spent his evenings
with her; he has given her expensive
presents; he has taken her to lunch
eons, to dinners and has taken her on
automobile rides.
“He wants to leave his wife because
of his infatuation for the stenographer
‘and told his wife that he was going to
leave her on Steptember 1.”
Mrs. Burton asserts that although
‘her husband has an income of $5,000
‘annually, he has neglected to support
her properly. She also alleges that
recently she learned that her husband
rdeserted a former wife and child be
;rore he was divorced and married
her.
‘H 2! B

Township Out of Tax
INDIANA, PA, BSept. 15.—Tony Co
chato outwitted an East Mahoning
Township assessor by placing his two
dogs in sacks and hanging the sacks
to the celling of his coalhouse. Believ
ing the man owned dogs, the assessor
made a thorough search of the prop
erty, but could not find them. When
asked where the dogs were Cochato re
plied that he had hanged them.
The assessor left, and Cochato would
have elcared the dog tax had he not
been so pleased with the joke that he
could not keep from telling it.

SYCAMORE, N. Y., Sept. 15.—A re
markable story of the results of the
Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago, in
1903, involving a happy reunion of
mother and son in this city, has just
come to light here,
Unexpected and unheralded, Miiton
Simmons walked into his mother's
home here after having been missing
since the day that Chicago was awe
stricken by the destruction of the Iro
quois Theater, with a heavy loss of
life.
Every possible means of search had
been resorted to to locate the missing
son, but without avail.
Simmons was employed in the thea
ter at the time of the fire. He oper
ated a spot light in the gallery. When
the fire was discovered, he leaped 60
feet to the main floor of the theater,
where he crawled over bodies to one
of the exits and was pulled out uncon
scious. His head and back were badly
injured.
After four months in a hospital, he
recovered and went to Tipton, Ind, to
engage in business. In that city he
married. Later he moved to Kokomo,
Ind., where he engaged in the con
tracting bysiness.
Mennwhlfie his mind was a blank re
garding parts of his past. He could
not recall the whereabouts of his par
ents. He thought them dead.
About a year ago Simmons suffered
a severe {llness and barely survived.
Specialists examined him and discoy
ered pressure on the brain. An npern-‘
tion partly restored his memory He
recalled his trip West to Des Moines.
Towa, where he had first gone to the.
home of an uncle,
After some ccirespondence, Sim
mons ascertained the whereabouts of
his mother., who had moved to this
city from Palmer, Miss., where Sim
mons was born and lived until he was
17 years of age, at which time he went
West. Meanwhile an Infant sister has
become a young woman and Sim
mons’ mother has grown old and gray.

The hearing before the Railroad
Cominission on the petition of the
Georgia carriers for a general revi
sion of intrastate rates recessed Fri
day for two weeks. The commission
will take up other matters in the
meantime.
Proposed rates on stoves, ranges
and hardware, and the effect upon
business were presented at Friday
morning’s sessl?& by Randall Clifton,
assistant freight traffic manager of
the Southern Railroad. »
He pointed out that the present
rate on carload lots is fifth class and
on less than carloads third class. The
rate propose for the fifth class is 78
per cent of the present rate and for
the third class 71 per cent, he sald.
“The present rates and proposed
rates in Georgia are lower than the
interstate rates to representative
points for the same distance,” he con
tinued.
“The carriers could have proposed
higher rates on these commodities,
but have not done so because they
were fixed after long and disagreea
ble litigation. It is hoped by the car
riers that the proposed moderate ad
vances, if granted, will eliminate al
legc” discriminations sufficlently to
rem complaints from nearby
States which compete with the Geor
gia manufacturers.
“The proposed rates represent ad
vances to a majority of the common
points in Georgila with few reductions
to common points, such as from At
lanta to Bainbridge, Pembroke and
other points. While the Commission
‘has {esued a speclal circular to bring
‘about reductions of class rates to a
‘number of points, this does not apply
‘uniformly throughout the State. It
is proposed to make this apply uni
?rmly. subject to the long and short
au! principles.
“The proposed rates are as low
‘and lower than the going interstate
rates, so much so, in fact, that there
‘have been numerous complaints from
‘manufacturers in other States com
peting with Georgia industries. A
‘manufacturer at Florence, Ala., has
withdrawn salesmen from the Geor
;na territory because of alleged dis
crimination in Gecrgia rates. |
‘ “Similar discriminations exist from
' Sheffield, Ala.; Chattanooga, Knox
)vme and other points, into the State.”

Attorney Garland M. Watkins Fri
day issued a card of thanks to his
friends and supporters for their loy
alty and for the vote given him in
the State primary race for Represen
tative from Fulton County.

vote throughout the whole county.
He said he wished to congratulate
the victors, and pledged his co-oper

Copies of the new navy bill which
recently went into effect have been
received at the office of Lieutenant
Oscar F. Cooper, recruiting officer,
in the Federal Building, and are be«
ing shown to applicants for places
on Uncle Sam'’s ships.
A section of the bill provides that
if an enlisted man wants to get out
of the navy after serving a year, he
can go on parole without pay. For
three years thereafter he is subject
to call in war or other emergency,
and if recalled his pay starts again.
It is stipulated that June and De
cember will be the only months in
which paroles of this kind will be is
sued. For instance, if a man enlists
in June he can get out the next June,
but If he enlists in July he must serve
his year plus four months, and if he
enlists in January he must serve un
til June of the following year.
“T think this feature will prove very
attractive and stimulate enlisting,”
declared Lieutenant Cooper. “Many
men want a year's experience in the
navy and do not want four, and this
bill will make a short stay possible.
A year will provide sufficient train
ing to teach a man the rudiments,
and in case of war the department
will have a good reserve to call on.”
| Lieutenant Cooper will leave at
|
once to open up substations at Co
‘lumbla. and Jacksonville, The Chat
tanooga, Memphis and Knoxvlille sta
tions, formerly under direction of the
Atlanta station, have been put under
the Nashville station. Twelve recruits
were sent away Thursday from the
local office to the Training School at
Norfolk.

The Council Police Committee
Thursday afternoon approved the or
dinance requiring the Southern Ex

It was stated at the meeting that
