to the leaders.
"None of your utwlncas," a big negro
replied. "Drive on."

SflATTt'CK PAKS TROtmLKS
When I asked Prank It Shnttuck. .tho
new chairman of the Pennsylvania Roant
of Censors, what He was going to do about
all this he threw his hands In the air,
mopped a beady brow and murihurcd pit
eously, "Give me time. I've Jul lieen away to
the liar Asioclul Ion's convention at lledfnnt
Hprlngs and then for a Utile week-end trip.

"Hut I renllxe Hint my troubles have
already liegun." lie removed his tortolso
"spers" wearily, "only yesterday a man,
rushed up to me mid said with conviction:
'Now you will have n chance to do some
real good, and I hope one of the first things
von do will be to cut out murders 1
had my young daughter of sixteen nt the
movies thn other night and Kuch a brutal
murder was depleted that she hnsn'l been
the same since, ii made a powerful nnd
ugly Impression on her mind. It Is wrong
to portray such things.'
"Tin re. you kco what I am up against,"
he smiled whimsically, as be added, "and
yet, there are hruinl murders In a greet
many of thn classics, and. the great writers
do not nlwnys marry thn ruined girls to
tho villains. Is It not. so?"
f thought of Oliver Tflst and Bill flykes's
ferocious killing of Nancy nnd I thought
of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'frher
vllles" nnd of dozens of others of the "best
works" that grace tho home bookshelves
and nre recommended to the thirsty young
mind, and accordingly agreed with Mr. Shat
uck. -
HO MANY ANOLKS
"What, makes the problem re.Mly dim
cult." hec ontinued. "Is that a man, in a
situation llko this must look at the film
from so many angles. ,
"Kor Inslnnce, lust winter 1 snw a plnv
on thi legitimate stage, I.nurelte Taylor In
The Harp of Life" In that audience there
was a thentro party given by some friends
of mino, the parents of a debutante for
her young nssoulutes. There they -sat,
oung mon and women, eighteen, nineteen
or twenty yearn of age all of them, and
they were there by I he dngene. Now I
thought that that play came as near to the
edgo of thn too frankly frank as any play
I have ever seen.
"Yet got ono of those young things batted
an eyelash, obviously I could not censor
such a play had It hern filmed, because
my point of view w.-rs the prudish one of
the parent."
Mr. Shnttuck looked worried, what with
tho heat nnd the oppressive leallxatlon of
the burdens of hla nevy duties.
"And how about the kisses?" I Inter
jected ; "the nccepted length Is,' I believe,
that which cowrs sixteen feet of film."
"Kisses," ho said with great show oY wis.
dom, "should vary. I believe a husband Is
suppused only to peck nt his wife's cheek.
Anything more than that for the conjugal
kiss may be considered, from the movie
audience point of view, Indecent. I tlilnl;
that lovers, particularly those meeting after
a long absence should be allowed more tlian
slxtven feet, considerably more."
Here the new censor chalrmnn grinned.
And that grin meant that he has a rense of
humnr, and a sense of humor means broad
mlrdedncss, and brond-mliidedness means
that hereafter the poor, weak heroines win
not be In every case consigner) to wedded
misery with the Relentless Rudolphs vvhopi
they hate, but may tall Into th arms
of the brawny hero who forgives them nil!
"My greatest help." Mr. Khattuck added
cheerfully, ns though seeing the sun shine
through the clouds, "will be Judge Patter
son. He Is one of my good friends, nnd ho
has had to pass upon so many of the cases
which got Into court that he has become an
expert I think I shall be very broad
minded In some ways and very strict In
others, and I think he will help me."
And since Judge Patterson Is recognized
ns a liberal whose decisions somehow al
ways seem acreenble to even the conserva
tive audience, it looks ns' though the right
man for tho most diflloult Job In tho Stnte
had been, found.

Forty May Be Dead
in Niagara Plunge
tiiMlnwrl from Pass One
car left the rails nnd seemed to leap Into
the rapids rn crying men, women and
children to their death, a mighty scream
went up nnd then all was still. Men,
vvomcVi and children struggled In tho water
or clung to the wreckage. Tha car was
entirely submerged except the rear vestibule,
aad every available Inch of this was cov
ered with one or two hands,
' The fact that there had been a wash
out on the line was first noticed by a track
walker from the top deck of the Grand
Trunk Railroad bridge. Ite Informed na
tional guardsmen on the InVer deck of the
bridge nnd nl'o tlckit .'.ellers lit the bitdge
who. In turn, iioliri"d both the Nlng'iia
Gorge Itailifind and the police. The time
between this iiottfli-atlnn nnd the accident
's variously estlmnleil by the people as
between fifteen minutes and half an hour
ample time. It Is snld, to hsve reached the
scene of the accident and flagged the car.
WILL HOLD INtJIIKST
If the Gorge railroad couldn't get some
one between there In time, the guardsmen
on duty three hundred yards from tho scene
might have been notified nnd they could
have flagge;! It. The matter Is being thor
oughly investigated by Coroner Harry C.
Dumvllle nnd Assistant District Attorney
J. Wllllnm O'lltlen.
An Innuest will be held.
The exact number of dead may never be
known, as It Is doubtful If nil the bodies
will be recovered There are twenty-six In
jured In the two locnl hospitals, and many
others In the local hotels, tn addition to
this, five members of Company V. Seventy
fourth Regiment. National Guard of New
York, who aided In the rescuo work, nre
In the hospitals suffeilng from shock and
exposure. These men nnil two others suc
ceeded In hauling out fifteen of those rescued.
The heiuls of two women and a man whose
legatees caught In tlie wreckngn were
hetd'mft of water by thme gusrdemen for
from two to two and a half hndrs before
they were released and lifted to the shore.
It was late at night, after the car bad been
dragged from the rapliln by a derrick, that
moBt of tho bodies were recovrred.
THRKi: PROBES STARTKD
Three Investigations vvero started today,
one by the District Attorney of Niagara
County, another by the Stare Public Serv
ice Commission and tho third by tho tail
road. Private Joseph Crowley, of the Seventy
fourth Regiment, who wns on duly under
the cantilever bridge when the accident
occurred, snld today : '
"1 was watching tho car at the time. I
saw the trolley pole leave the wire and
swing around In the sir. Then tho car
Jiut seemed to sink down In the earth.
There was a scream, and It just Valsed
my hair on end. There wasn't n chance
for the poor souls who were trapped there.
"The whole bank slid out went out Jutt
like sand. The trolley car screeched. I
guess that must have been the brakes put
on suddenly. It was a terrible sound. Tho
hank kept going' and In a second It all
seemed to have happened In a second the
trolley car was swaying on the trncks and
the ties nnd there wasn't any earth beneath
them.

Many retailers. Individually or co-opera-tlvely,

wngon drivers -for chauffeurs, advancing
their wages from $17 a week to $IS when

Francis D. Kills, president of the'enn

"Wc are not against organised labor, nnd
we do not object to paying the drivers a
