Daylight saving means much
to the few that know how to
use the extra evening hour of
daylight. But they are not
numerous. A dog can walk on

forty Injured in a rear-end colli
sion between h subway and an ele
vated train at ltl7th street, ill the
Bronx, ij.'ire broko but on one of
the, wooden cars of the.'"!' train.
There wa 'a 'panic 'i -after, the
era?ih. Many women were hurt in
the struggle lo extricate them
selves from ears not smashed in
the collision.
The elevated train had stopped
on signal and the express train of
all steel cars rammed It with ter
rific force.
J. Cullen, motorman of the sub
way train, and an unidentified
youth who was standing near Cul
len's booth were killed. An un
identified man who was on the
rear car of the "L" train also met
death. Michael McLean, 32, of the
Bronx, died later from a fractured
skull. - ;.'-. -. ;
' The . collision occurred - near the
167th street station, where . the
subway track runs on the elevated
structure. Both trains were south
bound and filled with persons on
their way to work. ,
The fire hampered the work of
rescue. Policemen carried the
injured along the tracks to the sta
tion and firemen raised ladders to
the ."IV: structuro to bring ..the .vic
tims to the street level. v
The, "body, of an unidentified

When. police and firemen, dug
their way into ihe . motorman's
compartment of the subway train,
using acetylene torches to burn
away the twisted steel, they found
Cullen with his hand on the emer
gency brako and-the motor set In
reverse. He hail realixed tne im
minence of a collision bu.t too late.
The body of tho boy, who was
identified us William J. Scjhult-., 17
of the Bronx, was found wedged
near the motorman's compartment.
An hour after tho collision
stragglers were still trying to get
out of the trains.
They told, of tho wildest excite
ment after tho: crash. The passen
gers were thrown into the aisles by
the terrific Impact to become a
fighting, screaming, strugg 1 1 n g
mass, S
Police and firemen had to fight
their way through a mad tide of
humanity to reach tho injured,
many, of them unconscious, who
were being trampled on the floors
of the cars. Other firemen quick
ly extinguished the blaze, the dan
ger of which had intensified tho
panic.
The elevated train had stopped
on a signal just outside the ltl7th
street station to allow a preceding
subway train to clear when the
following subway train came
around the curve In the tracks to
plow into its wooden rear coaches.
Some witnesses said the subway
train was not going over ten miles
an hour at the lime of the crash.

Troubled waters have moved down
the Mississippi, transferring the
strain from levees in the Qulncy,
ML, territory to the ptretch from
St. Louis 4o Cairo. In Its muddy
movement toward the gulf It has
lost some of Its menace.
The river's level was two feet
below the top of the lowest dlkf
between Chester and Cairo, engl
ners lor the Missouri Pacific re
ported. A break in the South
Grand Tower levee system Satur
day has covered 24 square miles
with water. The gauge reading at
(irand Tower was 33.9 feet, a rise
of .4 font in 24 hours.
Jackson county. Illinois, officials
havo noted the "untisnnl bulge" of
water moving past the levees, but
engineers believe the river can rise
two feet more without further
overflow.
Kncouraging reports were Issued
by the weather bureau here, where
tho water reached the 34.8 foot
stage yesterday. The bureau pre
dicted the river would begin fall
ing rapidly by tomorrow.

geles capitaliHtH in the operation
and development of the Blue
Ledge mine, recently secured from
the Guggenhelms,, on option, and
corps of experts will arrive this
week according to Dr. J. F. Reddy,
local representative, for the laying
out of preliminary plans for the
rehabilitation of the diggings.
They will malto pious for the
building of the aerial tramway, tho
flotation mill, and other improve
ments scheduled for the mine.
The matter of the improvement
of the road from Joe Bar to the
nilnr in still "hanging fire. ThV
forest service has a force of men
at work Improving their share of
the road, but' the supervisors of
Siskiyou county are marking time,
evidently waiting for Jackson
county to make tho first move.
The road is in Hlsklyou county,
and collect taxes for the mine,
now. amounting to about $700 a
year. If the mine was in operation
their tax account would be consid
erably boosted. Until the property
disintegrated, they received about
$500 a year In taxes. They now
report they only havo $100 on
hand for the Improvement of the
road. ,
They fool that inasmuch as Med
ford and Jackson county would be
the chief beneficiary of tho mino's
operation, this portion of the body
politic should bear the road repair
costs. A precedent for; the county
court to repair the rond was ostab
llshed by County Judges , Prim,
Nell, Tou Velle, and Gardner. The
county court expects to make a
trip to the road and bIzo It up,
when the weather clears.
It will take close to $200 to put
the road in shape for heavy haul
ing. A forco of men under the direc
tion of Krlck Anderson, nre now
engaged tn repairing tho cflblns
and buildings at the mine, and
wnging war on wood rats, which
are plentiful, and very active.
To extcrminata tho pests, a large
quantity of strychnine was distrib
uted which the wood " rats de
voured, without the expected dis
astrous results. According to Mr.
Andet'Hon, the alleged poison only
msde them gayer by day, and in
creased their cavortlngs at night.
Tho workmen then took shotguns
nnd opened fire, lessening the
wdodrat population considerably,
and have discarded poison as an
exterminator.
. Dr. L. K. Inskeop. advised of tho
situation, suspects that the potency
of the strychnine was not up to
par. or the woodrats exceptionally
hardy.
