TO USE FANNY CROSBY'S HYMNS
Congregation at Fifth Street Church
Will Sing Familiar Numbers
In place of the usual Sunday even
ing services at Fifth Street M. E.
church, six of the most popular hymns
of Fanny Crosby will be studied and
sung. The recent death of this gifted
writer brings to mind a multitude of
her lyrics which the American people
have been singing for half a century.
Such gongs as "Some Day the Silver
Cord Will Break," "Safe in the Arms
of Jesus," "Pass Me Not, Oh Gentle,
Savior," and other equally well-known
hymns will be sung for generations to
come. After a brief history of the au
thoress by the pastor, the "Rev. B. H.
.Hart, and of the circumstances that
caused the hymns to be written, they
will be sung by the choir and congre
gation.
To-morrow marks the close of an
other conference year for the Methodist
pastors of this city, and at the morning
services at Fifth Street a brief sum
mary of the year's work will be given.

i 53,113 ACCIDENTS IN 1914
Of These 38,12(1 Were Reported to
the Department of Labor and
Industry
Some time ago the bureau of statis
tics of the Department of Labor and
Industry completed its statistics of in-
I dustrial accidents for 1914, according
! to industries, a resume of which has
j been widely published. The bureau has
I now finished the tabulation of* these
; accidents by causes and injuries, from
which the following interesting data
! and useful suggestions are culled. A.
j R. Houok is chief of this bureau.
"The total number of accidents re
-1 ported to the Department of Laibor
and Industry during the year 1914, is
| 38,112'6. Adding the number of acci-
I dents reported to the Mining Depart
: ment and to the Public Service Com
mission, the grand total is 53,113.
| This numlber, though large, cannot be
' considered the sum of all accidents
that occur in our State, since the acci
dents reported to the Department of
Labor and Industry are only those oc
curring in industrial establishments.
There is also a rule in the latter de
partment that avcidents occasioning a
loss of less than two days' work need
not be reported. Therefore, 53,113
represents only a part of the total
number of accidents for the past year.
"The causes from which the great
est number of accidents occur are, first,
in hand labor, chiefly from being
caught between, or struck by, material
or hurt with tools, a total of 20,339
accidents; second, from falling from
ladders or scaffolds into unprotected
holes, or slipping or tripping, a total
of 4,178 accidents; third, from com
ing into contact with moving machin
ery, a total of 2,836 accidents; fourth,
from burns of various kinds, a total
of 2,4 44 accidents.
"Figures of such size, representing
accidents from being caught or struck
by material, or from coming into con
tact with moving machinery, would
seem to show carelessness on the part
of workmen, or lack of sufficient
guards. If the proper machine guards
were installed and used in the proper
manner, the majority of such accidents
could surely be avoided.
"The inspectors of the Department
of Laibor and Industry have found in
their visits to industrial plants that
the greatest force towards the elimina
tion of accidents and the maintenance
of personal safety is the establishment
of safety organizations. The education
of workmen in the avoidance of care
loss methods, and in t'he thought of in
dividual responsibility, is the greatest
force in the furtherance of ITie safety
movement."

EPWORTH LEAGUE RALLYIO
BE HELD NEXT WEDNESDAY
Dr. Dan B. Brummitt, of Chicago, Ed
itor of the "Epworth Herald,"
Will Address Young People at
Grace Church
The presidents and representatives
from the Epworth Leagues of the city
met at the home of Ross K. Bergstress
er, the president of the Stevens Mem
orial Epworth League last evening
and formulated the preliminary plans
for the mammoth league rally which is
to be held in the Grace Methodist
church next Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock. All of the leagues of the city
are co-operating in this rally, and an
invitation will be extended to the
leagues of the surrounding towns with
in a radius of twenty miles to join in
this young people's meeting,
j The Rev. Dr. Dan B. Brummitt, of
| Chicago, the editor of the "Epworth
| Herald," has been secured as the
j speaker of the eveninig. Charles 8011,
I the president of the Grace Church
| League, will be the presiding officer,
the Stevens Memorial male chorus, un
der the direction of George W. Sweigl
- will sing and several other musical
' numbers will be provided. Ross K.
I Bergstresser will conduct the opening
| song service at which the song book
'"Make rhrist King," will be used.
Prior to the mass meeting, a recep
tion will be tendered Dr. Brummitt by
the members of the league cabinets of
the city in the social parlors of Grace
Church.
At the meeting of the league repre
sentatives last evening an aggressive
campaign for the advertising of this
mass meeting was authorized and pro
vided for, as it is the intention of the
league leaders that the Methodist
young people of the city shall have
»pi>ortunity of hearing the man who
has editorial supervision of their of
ficial paper—a paper that goes into
thousands of Epworth League centers
in this country and in many foreign
countries.
At the preliminary meeting last
evening were present Ralph Newman,
representing the Grace church league;
H. F. Asj>er, president of Fifth street
church league; Don F. Manahan, presi
dent of the Ridve avenue league;
Haty-y R. Matter, president of Epworth
