Motorman on Streetcar Falls to the
Platform Bleeding and Is Re
moved to Hospital.

SAN ER ANCISdb..CA
-Ondon,engua:nd
Philadelphia, March 11. Peter Roach,
a motorman on th Darby line of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit, yesterday
fell prostrate on the platform of hla
car and was removed to the, University
hospital, passengers were shocked when
they saw blood trickle from hla cloth
ing and form a pool on the platform.
To streetcar men It was not regarded as
a very unusual occurrence.
"Only a case of trolley legs," said an
other motorman. "We all have th
gam troubl after we have been In th
business four or five years. The only
difference Is that Roach probably did
not take proper care of himself. Nearly
all the old motorroen wear tight-fitting
allk or rubber stockings, to prevent the
bursting-of blood vessels.
"It is caused by standing so many
hours every day without any exercise.
The blood causes the veins to swell un
til they burst. Conductors are not
troubled with trolley leg so much as
motormery becaus they have more ex
ercise walking through -th car.
"There should be some arrangement
eo. the motorman could sit down part of
the time. With the old handbrakes that
was impossible, but now that most of
the cars are equipped with airbrakes
the motorman could sit down and do
his work Just as well as he can stand
ing. T'The elevated railroad cars have
stools for the motormen, and the Penn
sylvania railroad electric cars to Atlan
tic City are also provided with seats
for the motormen. We'll get seats for
the streetcar motormen some day, too."
Big Y. M. O. A. Meeting.
(United-Press Leased Wire.)"
Frederick. Md.. March 14. Elaborate
S reparations are being made for tha
llrd biennial .Interstate convention of
the Young Men's Christian Association,
which Is to assemble her th latter
part of this month for a'aesslon of four
days. Maryland, Delaware, West Vlr-
inta and the District of Columbia will
e represented at the meeting.
A goodly number of men and women
who earn a somewhat difficult living by
performing on th stag donated their
servlcus to th Portland Rose Festival
association benefit yesterday afternoon,
and in spite of brains and muscles that
must have been already tired by other
appearances oa tha same day, gave on
of th best benefit performances that
Portland has ever Seen.
Manager R, E. French of th Star
theatre, who was In charge of the per
formance, handled the long list of acts
skilfully snd there wer no unpleasant
waits or hitches In th program. Th
theatre, the Marquam Grand, was donated
by th Imperial Amusement company
and th act by th various theatrical
managera. Tha Musicians' union fur
nished th larse orchestra. Th French
stock company gave the first act of
"Way Out West" which proved decided
ly Interesting, particularly Miss Kath
leen Taylor,- whos coif fur was done

Fay Balnter of the Baker stock com-
fiany sung and oculated (not a lelt
mat woid. but a good one) that Cosy
Corner song of hers; Howe and Edwards
of th Grand gave a good vaudeville
stunt, 'The Arrival of Mr. Dooley";
Polk and Collins did some entertaining
banjo playing, through the courtesy of
Pantages and th Allen stock company,
while funny Verna Felton, gave a good
act of that excellent fare "Our New
Girl." Fred Bauer sang excellently
he has a voice that Is remarkably sweet
and clear. The Manning twin sisters
from the Grand gave some contortionist
work that was astonishing, the Mar-
3u am moving pictures of the butterfly
ance were shown and the members of
the Baker stock company played th in
tensely dramatic third act from "The
Three of Us."
One of thi best tumbling acts In vau
deville was given by the Floreni troupe
from Pantages. Tha fiv members of
the troupe do remarkable work and won
a great deal of appreciative applause.
That more bcoole did not witness tho
performance is to be regretted. It was
an afternoon or excellent vauaevme
