COUNTRY-WIDE
SAFETYCAMPAIGN
Starts Octobcer 18, to Run
Fourteen Days; All Rail
roads Interested
The first country-wide safety
campaign, under the auspices of
the United States Railroad Admin
istration, will take place October 18
to 31 on eastern and western lines.
Director General Walker D. Hines
has announced that A. F. Duffy,
manager of safety section of the
railroad administration, will have
direct supervision of the whole cam
paign, which will be known as the
National Railroad Accident Preven
tion Drive.
At one minute after midnight on
the morning of October 18 the drive
will formally open and until mid
night of the last day of the month
every one of the 2,000,000 employes
of the country's railroads will be
alert to prevent any accident to one
of their number and to see to it
that no worker is killed.
Railroads Interested
Recently there was completed a
campaign known as "No-Accident"
and during the three months i't was
in progress the number of deaths
and accidents was materially cut.
This and other somewhat similar
campaigns on scattered railroads
prompted the F'ederal officials in
Washington to arrange for every
road to conduct an intensive drive
for a two-week period. The advan
tage of this simultaneous effort will
be that railroad men, especially
those in the operating, maintenance
and mechanical departments, will
think, talk and act safety whenever
they meet. At the same time the
traveling public and the families of
the workers will join in the move
ment and give their moral support.
That there will be keen rivalry,
especially among the larger railroad
systems, Is a certainty. Each will
strive to obtain a perfect score and
the final figures will show how each
road is observing the safety regula
tions. No specific prize has been
hung up for the winner, but the
honor of standing at the top of the
list will be sufficient Incentive foi
any railroad man who has the inter
est of his own line at heart.

thus signally honored them for their
sacrifice" and achievements.
"The form of the proposed me
morial as described by the Chamber
of Commerce meets with my ap
proval, for it seems to embody a
great many of the best suggestions
I have heard on the subject of a
soldiers' memorial. Its happy com

mental features cannot fail to com
mend it to anyone who has given
the project his serious considera
tion.
"The proposal to have the city's
memorial fit into the general Capitol
Park and memorial bridge plans, as
a pleasing culmination of the
whole, is one of the desirable fea
tures of the Chamber's project.
Through the collaboration of the
Chamber's committee with Arnold
W. Brunner, who designed the
Capitol Park extension, the plans
for the city's memorial will harmon
ize nicely with the State's plans,
thereby completing in one compre
hensive treatment, an appropriate
memorial to the heroes of the Com
monwealth and the capital city."

DESHONG UNDER FIRE
FOR HIS PRACTICES
[Continued from First Pago.]
- _
$l5O in Liberty Bonds, and then,
when Fishman rarae to furnish a
bail bond, even refused that, but
made no explanation of his decision.
Mr. Gregory was arrested yester
day afternoon and could not secure
his release for hours, he declared,
because of DeShong's unexplained
refusal to accept the cash and bonds
or Fishman's bail bond.
Defends DoSliong
DeShong refused to give any de
tailed statement about what had
happened in liis office last evening,
but said that he had no objection to
liis constable, David Hodge, telling
the story. Constable Hodge said lit
tle about it, either, other than to de
fend the Alderman ;.nd claim that
Mr. Fishman had been the aggres
sor.
DeShong fixed Mr. Gregory's bail
at $3OO, cash, giving no explanat'on
of this action l . He allowed the de
fendant time to secure the bail, and
one of the persons who called by a
friend of Mr. Gregory was Fishman.
While Mr. Gregory and the consta
ble were out looking for ball, Fish
man came to police headquarters
and asked where he could find the
man for whom he was to furnish a
bail bond to secure his release.
DeShong said he was not there, and
a few minutes later, according to
Fishman, DeShong left the Mayor's
office.
Threatens Him
There Alderman DeShong refused
to take his bail bond, Fishman de
clares, ar.-d threatened him, after
cursing at him and calling him
names. He said that finally De-
Shong told Hodge to put him out,
and he told them h<v Would go out.
"DeShong raised his hand to strike
me and my son grabbed him," Fish
man continued. "I didn't know
what was going to happen, but we
got out."
Fishman did not say positively
that he would bring action against
the magistrate, but it is bejleved he
will.
Going to Sue
DeShong's statement of the events
that happened before reaching his
office In North Third street were
similar to Fishman's, but when
asked about the disturbance in his
office the Alderman said:
"I'm not going to say anything
about it. T have retained Mr.
Stucker for my attorney and I'm
going to sue Fishman- for surety of
the peace an ddisorderly conduct.
He threatened my life and came into
my ofTice and cursed and caused the
trouble. I told Mr. Gregory I would
take cash bail and reduced it to
$l5O, which he furnished. The
hearing will be next Thursday even
ing at 8 o'clock.
"What happened In my office will
come out at the other hearing,"
DeShong said. He did admit, how
ever, that Fishman offered to fur
nish a bail bond for Gregory. Fish
man claims that his offer was re
fused and that he told the magis
trate if he wouldn't take the bond
It was no affair of his.
Another Case Coming
A large crowd was attracted by
the disturbance at the Alderman's
office, similar to the one which gath
ered in front of the Courthouse
months ago when It is said that
Fishman and DeShong aired their
differences at length.
It also intimated that W. H.
Wilsoi., 501 Hamilton street, I s
about to take further action in arr
other case in which he alleges there
was a false arrest by DeShong.

particular Interest, there will be
trouble and delay in the settlement.
If men can learn to be patient un
der conditions which have resulted
from the World War, until a more i
| accurate estimate of the possibilities |
I of the situation can be made, all oui ,
I problems will be sooner solved; but |
if impatience and selfishness shall 1
rule and imediate forceful or di- !
rect action be taken, it is perfectly
obvious that nothing but disorder
and delay can result.
Crying Need For Peace
"The crying need of the world just
now is for peace, and not political
peace between governments alone,
but industrial peace amongst men
also. The things for which men
fight are never setled while the war
is on. An armistice must come:
heads must cool, and anger must
spend itself before men can sit to
gether and know what is best for
themselves and give due considera- j
tion to the rights of others.
"If we could have an absolute in
dustrial armistice in America for
six months; if both the necessary
ingredients of capital, that is both
money and labor, would be active
and constant in the problems of
production; the busy, peaceful days
would soon yield a spirit which
would make it possible for men to
solve the problems which now con
front us. Labor is asking a larger
share of the joint product of money
and labor, and there is much merit
in the claims, but the chance of
getting it is not advanced nor the
Justice of it more widely recognized
by the refusal of labor to produce.
Idleness Xo Panacea
"Idleness is no panacea for the
ills from which the country suffers.
Work may be. The cost of life is
only enhanced by the idleness of
men; it can be reduced by the in
telligent industry of all. These rem
edies may bring us part way on the
road, but they will never bring us
the whole distance. These remedies
should and will be applied, but
the most effective cure that can be
desired will be the general accept
ance by nil our people of the golden
opportunities of this great land of
plenty for all who give the best that
! is in them."

bodies were seen.
.Missing Since Storm
The Vnlbenera hits been missing
since the storm which caught her
as she neared Havana enroute from
Spanish ports to New Orleans. The
passengers are thought to have
been almost entirely Spaniards or
Cubans, as virtually, all of them
were to have debarked at Havana.
Mrs. Pauline Beckner, of France,
sister of Mrs. George Pollock, of
New Orleans, was thought to have
been abroad. The vessel carried a
valuable cargo.
A wrecking crew was to leave
here to-day and the naval station
here has promised all facilities to
aid them. Their investigations may
establish the presence of bodies of
passengers and crew or show they
had left the ship before she sank.
There have been no reports here,
however, of any such number of
persons adrift or having been land
ed, and it was not regarded as prob
able that any could have been saved
by other vessels without word hav
ing come of that fact.
