.~ CRUSHED TO DEATH RIDING ON CAR STEP Georgetown College Student Describes Accident to Com- panion on Baltimore Train. Badly ubnerved and shaken from his experience Sunday night, Thomas F. Welch, a senior medical student at Georgetown University, when ar- Talgned In Central Police Court, Balti- more, yesterday afternoon, told a sraphic story of the killing of a fel- Jow student, Peter D. Byrne of Chi- cago, and a narrow escape from a like fate for himself. while riding on a train_ of the Pennsylvania railroad. Welch resides at 219 1 street. Welch paid a fine of $26.45 in the police court on the charge of unau- thorized riding on the train. New testimony, however, was brought out later to the effect that the boys were | prepared to pay their fare and a new trial will be held some time this lvaex. The coroner’s inquest at Hale- thorp last night returned the verdict of accidental death, and held the | raflroad entirely unresponsible. Welch stated that he and Byrne had boarded a train here Sunday night to see some girl friends off and when attempting to leave found the train had already started. The conductor offered to put them off t Bowie, but, fearing that they would be unable to make accommodations there for the night or to obtain a train back to the city., Byrne. who had Ssome money with him, told the conductor that they would pay their fare and go to Baltimore. Walking to the day coach, Byrne step- jped out on the steps to get some fresh jair and was followed by Welch, who ]uuuomd him to be careful and come At that moment, Welch stated, |the door slammed shut behind them, .leaving them prisoners on the outside of he train. Holding on to the iron rail- ng, with only a few inches of space as a foothold, they grimly hung on as the |train sped rapidiy toward Baltimore. |meanwhile trying to attract some one's 'nnenuon to help them from their pre- jearfous position. At Winans' crossing, where the tracks {of the Pennsylvania pass under those of the Baltimore and Ohio through a nar- row concrete culvert, Byrne, whose ibody protruded from 'the side of the {coach, crashed against the bulkhead, his Ybody ‘being crushed and mangled, the ‘Soungster suffering instant death Welch said he was holding on to the hand-rod supports with his back to the coach and facing Byrne, who was holding to the same rods and swinging out beyond Welch, Lis toes {just touching the bottom step. “I felt Byrne's body pressed up {against mine violently, and the next, \instant he was gone." said Welch. Beating madly upon the closed door, elch finally succeeded in attract- ng the attention of the conductor, phraim M. Adams, just as the train was about to pass under the Fred- {erick road bridge, near Baltimore, where, the conductor said. he. would have been swept off the train and killed —_— H. M.

INSTALLMENT PLAN ADOPTED BY MANY Responses to the Easter Ap- peal of the Associated Charities Number 2,456. Tide of responses to the Easter ap- peal of the Associated Charities for 10,000 contributing members moved forward today, with 2,456 members registered at noon, leaving 7,664 need- ed to complete the degired number. Are you going to_be one of the 7,544 to join the 2,456 already help- }ing Washington's heipless? Many contributors are taking ad- vantage of the plan to make their do- nations on the installment plan. Three contributors asked to be en- rolled as capital members, inclosing $25 each as the first quarterly payments on pledges of $100. Clergymen of the city are being ask- ed to bring the Easter appeal to the attention of their congregations next Sunday. As an indication of the in- { terest in the appeal shown by church organizations, the Winona Bible class of the Kellar Memorial Lutheran Su day school sent a contribution of $25 today. Miss Bonrdman Interested. Miss Mabel T. Boardman, former Com- Missioner of the District ‘of Columbia, said today she was deeply interested in the success of the appeal of the As ciated Charities for more members contributors. Miss Boardman said: “While 1 was Commissioner of District of Columbia I made many dresses before citizens' associations and other bodies, in which I have strongly urged the cultivation of a community spirit. A real test of this community spirit is a sympathetic Interest in those of our fellow citizens who are less for- tunate than ourselves. The District government provides institutional care for the Indigent sick, the insane, the tuberculous and those incapacitated by old age. It is left to private charity to meet the emergent needs of those who, as residents of Washington, suffer mis- romtme beyond their own means to meet. “In meeting this need the Associated Charities holds an important place, as it is the one big general non-sectarian and non-racial family welfare organiza- tion of the city. of the board of managers for many years, and, therefore, although I now speak as Commissioner, I can do o from a personal first-hand knowledge of its work. ‘As an illustration of what the Associated Charities does, I recall an experience of some years ago when a mother came to me in great distress. asking that I would find employment for her twelve-year-old boy. I was busy at the time with Red Cross.matters and asked the Associated Charities to see what could be done to meet -the situa- tion without putting the twelve-year- old boy to work. At my suggestion the mother called on the society and later I received a report of the exact facts and what had been done to meet the situa- tion. 01d Affection Awakened. “It transpired that the husband had been ill for over a year in one of our hospital. Meantime the pay- ments on the house which they were buying had lapsed. and they were likely to lose the equity in the prop- erty by a forced salt. The visitor of the Associated Charities, to whom ‘was intrusted the solution of the i familly difficulties, found that there were relatives on the mother's side who would be quite able to come to the rescue, but that they had been estranged because they considered that the woman, who had been a school teacher, had married out of her class by wedding a mechanic. The man had proved a good husban but no reconciliation with the wife relatives had ever been effected.

The property was saved, the twelve-year-old boy Wwas kept at school, the mother's anxieties relleved and the different branches of the family were reunited. All this took time and no little negotiation and tact on the part of the social worker. No money was spent for relief, but the highest kind of service was rendered in the hour of need. “Many persons think of the Asso- ciated Charities as simply a reliet organization. Its most important work, however, is not the giving of relief, but the straightening out of family difficulties. In this process if _relief is needed it is given—some- times given for months and years. where the mother is a widow with small children and there are abso- lutely no resources or relatives able to help. But only about 45 per cent of the familics coming to the atten- tion of the society require financial aid from its treasury. With the oth- ers it is a question of organizing friendship, of family adjustment, of finding employment and doing the thousand and one things that most of us are able to do for ourselves or which our relatives are willing to do for us in time of our misfortune. “In the families under the care of the Associated Charities last year there were 2,277 children under six- teen years of age. It is these children who make a special appeal to us and it is they to whom we must assure proper home surroundings, proper schooling and parental care so that they may have every chance to grow up ‘independent, useful citizens. Appesin to Citizens. “Finally, I.want to appeal to the citi- zens of Washington, to all its grown men and women, both young and old, who share the eplendid advantages of the National Capital, with its educa- tional advantages, its beauty, its broad streets, its wonderful trees, its fine parks, to see that not only these bles: ings are the common possession of us | all, but that within every home, even the humblest, 50 far 2s we can make it possible, there shall reign a spirit of £ood will, a proper standard of living and a real chance for the children to de- velop into loyal, independent Washing- tonians. “To this end I beg of every one of our people who is himself the beneficiary of the blessings of the District of Colum- bia t Join with his fellows in seeing that the work of the Associated Chari- | ties, as well as all kindred agencies, is given the support that is nacded to ban- ish from our midst suffering and dis- tress so far as it is humanly possible to do so.
