Unable to open the door he began searching for some means of getting out of his prison. He found a small hole in the door which had been closed with a board. After some hard work with a pocketknife O'Brien man aged to force the board and then call ed to men working on the road. The workmen came up to the car and after listening to his story released him. O'Brien then started in search of food, but had only gotten about a mile below Rovalton. when Officer Adam J. Souillard arrested and brought him to this city before Alderman Hoverter for a hearing on a charge of illegal freight riding. He was sentenced to 20 days in the county prison. Working on Vessel O'Brien claims that he was working on a vessel that was carrying cotton and merchandise between New York and Savannah, and that while he was in Savannah the boat sailed back with out him. He then went to Washing ton and from there to Baltimore. He says that he was going back to New AN ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY 01 How E. L Marshall, of Shreveport, La., Was Cured of a Stomach Trou ble That Kept Him Out of Work for Months Shreveport, Da. "I had a bad stomach trouble for years and became so weak I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetite was very poor, then my food would not digest, I bloated and was very weak and nerv ous, and it seemed impossible to get any relief. I was so bad I could not work for months at a time. I tried too many remedies to name, but with out help. I saw Vinol advertised and tried it, and soon noticed an improve ment. I continued its use and now my stomach trouble is completely cured, I am a well man enjoying perfect health and have gained in weight."— E. D Marshall. Shreveport, La. The recovery of Mr. Marshall was due to the combined action of the medicinal tissue building elements of the extract of cod's livers, aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol. which seldom falls to strengthen and tone up the tired, overtaxed and weakened nerves of the stomach and remove the trouble.

TAFT HAS PLAN"FOR STANDARD SCHOOLS [Continued from First Page.] efficiency, thoroughness and economy jof the various school systems. ex-Pres ! ident William H. Taft, addressed the I Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association here to-day. Mr. Taft, in his address said: "The cause of free public education is more sacred and of more fundamen tal importance than almost any other ; before the people. It is one that awakens the profound interest of the people and commands the greatest and most willing self-saeriflce by the tax- I paving public. The consequence of this fervor is that our school systems j are not as much scrutinized as they i should be. "What we need in the country is an 1 opportunity for standardization and comparison of school systems in the i different states and different cities. This. I think we might have by estab lishing what Washington recommend ed—a national university in Wash -1 ington. 1 "The Bureau of Education might | well be enlarged into a university : which should not be a teaching uni ' versity but one with a corps of ex , ports who could offer to the people of 1 all the states and the people of all lo cal communities, the opportunity of ' having their respective school systems 1 examined and reported on as to prop er scope, efficiency, thoroughness and economy. The same university should .hold periodical examinations In con- I venient parts of the country which any person might upon payment of a small fee take and if successful receive a certificate to a degree in ' certain established courses. Supt. Sohaeffer Talks ! The introduction of militarism into ! the public schools of the United States ' would be "organized insanity." ac cording to N. C. Schaeffer, State Super intendent of Public Instruction of Pennsylvania before the association here last night. Doctor Schaeffer said: "When the demand is made that militarism from an integral part of I vocational training, the teacher's dls i traction reaches a climax. If she ! should succeed in fulfilling this latest ! requirement, the public schools would I develop a race of Amazons more fierce ithan the militant suffragettes. "The war brides need as much bod ily health and vigor as the soldiers who marry them. If future generations I are not to show signs of decadence. "Investigations have shown that i military drill is injurious during the jadolescerft period, and that the grace j fulness of the cadets is not the out come of drilling or marching, but ■ rather of the hours spent under the direction of the dancing master. * "The moral drainage which results from militarism is still greater. It does not develop the sense of duty, such as the Sunday school Inculcates, but justifies spying, lying, forging let ters. telegrams and signals to mis lead the enemy. Having been taught that it is right to suspend the decalo gue for his countrv's safe, the pupil afterward repeals the Ten Command jments for his own sake, whenever any advantage can thereby be gained in the politica.l or financial world. "The great Powers of Europe h'ave come to judgment and arc grinding one another to dust and ashes. Their fate should be a warning to the I American people not to Introduce and 'foster militarism in the public schools." BED'S REPORT CRITICISED AS FARCE Manufacturers Declare Secretary Doesn't Know What He Is Talking About Trenton, N. J., Feb. 25.—The report of Secretary Redfleld, of the Depart ment of Commerce, intimating that the '•inefficiency" of American pottery manufacturers was responsible for whatever loss of business they might have suffered, was denounced here to-day by various pottery makers as "silly" and "preposterous." Some of the potters intimated that the report was a good object lesson in the inefficiency of Redfield's own de partment. Others said it was a "po litical play, pure and simple." for the purpose of confusing the people and shifting blame for the disastrous re sults of the new tariff law. A num ber of manufacturers frankly said Sec retary Redfieid did not know what ne was talking about when he Issued the report; that his men had been to Trenton and had been given e%'ery faci lity for investigation, and that the re port was a farce when actual condi tions were considered. It is probable that the Redfieid re port will be taken up and made the basis for action by the Trenton Pot ters' Association. One leading manu facturer said the matter would be taken up at the next meeting of the association and that a letter probably would be sent to Secretary Redfieid asking him for particulars, and espe cially asking him to specify how the American manufacturer was ineffi cient." Car Movement Shows Decrease During February Reports for the third week in Feb ruary show a decrease of 342 cars in the daily average for loaded car move ment. This is 1.6 per cent, as com pared with figures for a similar period in 1914. During the first week of this month the decrease was 2,186 cars, or 9.3 per cent. In the second week there was an Increase of 1,097 cars, or 5.4 per cent. This brings the daily average for the three weeks down to 2.2 per cent, decrease. During the three weeks a total of 63,010 loaded cars passed L«ewlßtown Junction, a computing point on the main line. In the same period during 1914 the total movement was 65,675 cars; in 1913, 76.741 cars, and in 1912. 73.480 cars. The daily average car movement to date is 5,046.

Harrisburg sSSfe TELEGRAf \ RUD HEMS DENY ALLEGATIONS Issue Statement on Effect of Full Crew Law; Feel Kindly Toward Trainmen Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia. Feb. 25.—Three rail road presidents and R. L. O'Donnell, chairman of the executive committee of twenty-one associated railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is-sued the following statement to-day: "W hat seems to be deliberately mis leading statements are being made to members of the State legislators and to others with regard to the full crew laws, which in effect are and should be called excess man crew laws. "For example, we are reliably in formed that it has been asserted that repeal of the law in Pennsylvania would deprive of positions at least 300 men in Bradford county; This is un true. There are a large number of men in that county employed by rail roads, a big proportion of them in the Lehigh Valley Railroad shops at Sayre, which is also a division point on that railroad. I "Statements circulated as to the I hardships which repeal of the excels | man crew laws in Pennsylvania and j New Jersey would impose upon traln- I men are intended to play upon false •sentiment. The public should under stand and employes should be assured that in this campaign for repeal of laws which make arbitrary employ ment and do violence to economic laws, the railroads do not war upon their men. No Feeling Against Trainmen "They hold no hard feelings against even the superfluous trainmen whose j wages make an unjust, because un necessary, charge upon transportation service. "On the contrary, and this state ! ment can be taken as public notice of jthe fact, every one of the twenty-one ; railroads now- working for repeal of j the excess man crew laws, would pre ! fer to keep employed, but in useful .service, the men for whom these laws ; make jobs. Further, with the laws j repealed, every loyal and efficient man .so laid off because unnecessary where I he now is, will be considered as on the I extra list and be given employment at 'the first opportunity, j "At present many trains are man ! Ned, because of the law, in excess of j any operating requirement. For ex ample, the St. Louis Express of the j Pennsylvania railroad, a train of eight cars, carries a railroad crew of si*. iand a Pullman crew of six, or twelve j men. not counting eight men in the dining car who could be requisitioned j into outside service In emergency." 'GERMANS MAKE CONTINUOUS i ATTACKS ALONG RISS FRONT By Associated Press Petrograd, Feb. 25.—The escape from a ring of German troops of two regiments of the» 29th Russian division who were surrounded during the re treat from East Prussia, is recorded In an official communication given out by the general staff last night. It is stated that the Germans are making continuous attacks all along the front from the Bobr district at Jedwabno as far as the Vistula In the region of Bodiamow.
