D TWO BABIES BORN ON MAROONED 4 TRAIN RESCUED FROM DESERT LOS ANGELES, Calif., August 15.— Birth of two babies and the serious {Iiness of four other children ani two women were among the hardships en- dvred by some of 300 passengers who arrived here last night from Selig- man, Ariz., after four days under the torrid temperature which makes that community one of the hottest in the southwest. Mrs. Clara Kerr of Cleveland was among the women {ll. Mrs. Alma Morris, address unknown, who was coming to Los Angeles with her infant son, was said by other pas- sengers to have found her money all spent as the result of extra expenses | ] caused by the delay at Seligman. When she arrived here a station at- tache paged her and quietly presented to her a purse made up by fellow pas- sengers. It developed today that one of the passengers arriving Sunday on a ‘de- layed Santa Fe train was the infant son of Evan Burrowes Fontaine, dan- cer, who has begun suit againat Cor- nelius_Vanderbilt Whitney at ‘Sara- toga Springs, N. Y., for damages of $1,000,000, alleging breach of promise of marriage and that he is the father of her child. The-child became ill because of the desert heat and the lack of water and proper food, ac cording to its grandmother, Mrs. Flor- ence Fontaine, who has it in charge. ‘WOMAN OF 94 HEROINE. Conquers Hardships With Smiles Throughout Four-Day Train Tie-Up Special Dispatch to The Star. LOS ANGELES, Calif., August 15.— Today, for the first time, the detailed story can be told of what happened | to the hundreds of passengers ma- rooned in the desert of southeastern California when the transcontinental trains of the Santa Fe system were abandoned by their crews. These passengers today were slowly | recovering from the effect-of their experiences, and, while some of them still are suffering severely, none 1s in a serious condition. One hundred and twenty-five of them kad been held at Needles, Calif., one of the hottest places in the country. for four days. with the temperature ranging about 120 degrees in the shade outside, and fully ten degrees hotter inside, where the passengers were cooped up, as the cumulative ef- fect from steel and iron and glass. These passengers included the sick and weak as well as the strong. They | came back with a new appregiation of the word marooned. a new ex- perience in battling with heat and discomfort, almost too great to bear, but they came back with bitterness in_their hearts. Word that the relief train was on the way brought an enormous crowd to the station. Weary to exhaustion, unkempt, with their eyes reddened from the heat and the lack of sleep, | the passengers that staggered and | were aided from the train were greeted with a hysterical reception | by relatives and friends. l Smiles Through Ordeal. n “Grandma” Malissa Wooden, | y-four years old. of Berkeley, | Callf., conjured up a brave smile as| she was lifted tenderly from the train and placed in a wheel chair. But that was nothing. “Grandma’ had smiled through all of the ordeal until at last the extreme heat had caused her to S it was only due to the| liberal use of fans and ice that kept her | desert town. She could not talk much when she reached here, but she smiled a happy good-by to those who had been so_kind to her. Mrs. Wooden was traveling alone, and before the walkout of the train crews took place she had become a favorite of the other passengers. Gentle, cheer- ful and brave, she sat quletly in her seat comforting those who were loudly complaining. But at last the heat caused a collapse and she was taken from the train to the station hotel and Boys' Play Suits “Lee Junior” and “Kiddie-all” Yo Boys’ Khaki Pants Straight style.

Physicians worked hard over her and that she is alive today is due to their cafe. Mr. and Mrs. William Hebree of Den- ver, with their three children, six, three and eighteén months, were among he passengers. Thelr fear during the stay was for Baby Robert, and they were thankful that at last he reached Los Angeles alive. It was Saturday before we could get a drop of milk, and then only because people living at Needles came to our aid. ‘A_committee of passengers composed of Rev. J. Early McDonnell, George Whitney, E. Artberg of Stockholm, Sweden, and C. Jx Wolentarfky of Cin- cinnati, who was chairman, waited on "'A. ‘Christie, superintendent of the Arizona_division, on Saturday and ap- Dealed for relief from the intolerable conditions. “The railroad officials treated us all right,” said Mr. McDonnell, “and did all in their power to relieve the;suf. fering from the heat, and finally o tained a relief train, for which we thanked Mr. Christie. raflroad men treated us as outcasts. They answered our requests to move the train and relieve suffering with the reply: ‘Go to hell’ J. H. Morris, fifty-seven vears of age, of Los Angeles, was ill when he started on the trip. He had to be removed from the train on a stretcher and his sister, Mrs. C. A/ Breham., who was waiting for him, collapsed when she saw that he had to be taken to a hospital. Mrs. S. T. Bissel, an_elderly woman, from Topeka, also suffered greatly. ‘Saturday evening I was able to get shelter in the home of one of the rail- way officials in Needles. This man had learned of my plight and came to my aid. The officials did everything in their ;power to make us as com- fortable as possible, and they saved us much suffering To many of the vounger men and women among the passengers the heat lso was trying, but they managed to find ay out by wandering about Needles. Homes were thrown open to them, but many of the men slept in_the park. Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Heine of Cincin- nati, with their three little gir Susie, seven; Helen, five, and Dorr three, and Mrs. Mary Herring, Mrs, Heine's mother, seventy-five old. were among the travelers.

Replying to criticlsm by Senatér Harreld of Oklahoma snd other mem- bers of Congress that Henry Ford in his proposed contract for taking over the Muscle Shoals project does not guarantee to manufacture fertllizer, Gray Silver, Washington representa- tive of the American Farm Bureau Federation, today wrote them, call- ing attention to Section 15 of the Ford offer, which he quotes as stat- ing that “the manufacture, sale and distribution of commercial fertilizers lvonsll(u!e one of the principal con- DISPU siderations of this offer.” Mr. Silver declared this the most important provision in the contract and one the violation of which pro- vides for the institution of proceed- (Ings by the Attorney General to can- fcel the entire lease. “Not only does Mr, Ford guarantee to manufacture fertilizer, but he states that he will make 40,000 tons of nitrogen, equal to one: h of our total annual consumption in fertilizer, will do so with ‘the most Money Cheerfully Refunded economical power available, tinued Mr. Silver's letter. “The fallure to make 8 per cent profif, or the failure to make any profit, or the inability to manufacture this fertilizer at less than it is sold is not a ‘cause beyond its control’ and would not give him the right to cease the manufacture of the full amount of fertilizer.” e SEEK EQUAL RICHTS.
