TRAIN WRECKING IN STRIKE.
Heavy Sentences On Miners.
The trial was concluded at Newcastle
Assizes of the eight Cramlington miners
who were charged with train wrecking.
It was alleged that on May 10 during
the general strike, the men displaced a
rail on the London and North Eastern
Railway main line, with the result that
the Flying Scotsman, in which {2OO
passengers were riding were derailed.
The men were all found guilty.
Mr. Justice Wright said the crime was
one of the most serious he could imagine
short of murder, and had the express been
going faster there might have been
many lives lost. It was beyond his
comprehenslon that young men of pre
vious good character could conceive such
a nefarious scheme.
Arthur Wilson (27), Robert Harbottle
(21), and Thomas Roberts (25), were
each sentenced to eight years penal
servitude; William Stephenson (22), and
James Ellison (29), to six years and
Oliver Sanderson (25), William Muckle
(25), and William Baker (28), to four
years penal servitude, —lbid.

Paris.—An interesting event is expected 1n the family of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin, friends admitted today.

The ship is called the Barbara, it is of 2,800 tons and was built with the aid ¢of the German Government. It has three rotor towers fifty one feet high and twelve feet in diameter. The new ship is considered an improvement over the first rotor ship. It is considerably lighter and works almost noiselessly. Greensburgh, Pa.—Nineteen passengers of a Pittsburg to Philadelphia train were injured, none seriously, when the train was sidewiped by a freight train traveling west near the Pensylvania station at Jeanette early today The accident is believed to have occurred when a caron the freight train buckled, throwing it against the other train, Missoula, Montana.— Favorable reports from the fire lines in the forrest of western Mntana, Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington were received at the forestry headquarters here today. While some of the conflagrations still were nnchecked, forthe most part their advance had been checked. Rome.—Pope Pius XI has approved an increase of all Vatican employees, the increase ranges frotn thirty to forty. percent of their previous wages.

We gather from the Antigua Magnet that owing to some slight changes having been made recently in the stringent American immigration restrictions it was announced that as frcm the Ist instant five persons per month or 60 per year would be the number of aliens permitted to enter the U. 8 A, under the immigration quota alloted to these islands. Large numbers of people therefore left that and the other islands south of us by every steamer to Barbados with the hope of getting their passports visaed by the U. S. A. Consul in Barbados, However, information was received later that at the end of 1924 there were 300 pames on the list of personsjwhose passports were awaiting visa for the U. S. A., and that priority will have to be given to these. Dominica Tribune 2 MALARIA FOR PALALYSIS. There was a very interesting discussion at the Royal Society of Medicine on the treatment of general paralysis is by malaria. There seems to be no doubt that malaria fever does in soma cases cure this other dreadful disease. Thejprinciple of setting a thief to catch a thief has thus been justified It is most interesting to think that at Epsom large numbers of malaria mosquitoes are kept ready so be sent out to any mental hospital which may require them. This treatment, like so many others in medicine which have succeeded, wa

All of the rooms are periodically inspected by officials and those which fail to come up to the high standards maintained and demanded by the bureau are stricken from the list. Every effort has been made to prevent the Exposition visitor from falling into the hands of ‘‘rent profiteers’” and ‘‘gougers.”” Through arrangements made long before the gates of the Exposition were opened, a system for handling vast crowds and placing them in suitable lodgings was worked out by traffic engineers of wide experience. The housing bureau was organized by city and Sesqui Centennial officials to prevent the ‘'price kiting’’ and other methods used by profiteers when rooms are at a premium. Representatives of the housing bureau, dressed in the powdered wigs, knee breeches and cocked hats of the Colonial times, meet each incoming train and supply accurate information gratis to the tourist. Booths for the rentingof rooms have been established at each of the railroad stations and at the principal highways leading into Philadelphia.— SesquiCentennial News Release.
