CHEST CRUSHED BY TIMBER IN PLANT MACHINE
    _________________________________

Engineer Who Built 28 Wood Preserving Plants Lives
But Short Time
    _________________________________

ORRVILLE, O., March 19
---Joseph M. Weber, 58 original builder of the Wood Preserving plant here as well as twenty-eight other wood preserving plants over the entire United States, was fatally injured in an accident at the Orrville plant of the Koppers Company, Wood Preserving Division, at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday and died as he arrived at Massillon City Hospital where he was rushed immediately.

    Mr. Weber, a resident of Orrville for 30 years, was chief constructing and mechanical engineer of the Koppers Company, Wood Preserving Division, and was considered one of the outstanding engineers in his line in this country.

        CHEST IS CRUSHED
His chest was crushed as he was pinned between the end of a 4x12 timber that was going through the incisor machine on the east side of the local plant grounds.  The head end of the timber had gone through the machine and was progressing toward the roller from which it is shunted to an incline when the accident happened.  Mr. Weber, who had designed a part of the rolling device some time ago, was evidently checking its operation and had his back turned to the incisor machine, standing between it and the roller.  As the timber came through the machine it caught him in the back and pinned him to the roller.  A workman who saw what was taking place yelled to have the machine shut off, but it was too late.  Mr. Weber himself had helped take the preceding timber off the machine.

        RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
Dr. O. C. McDowell was called immediately and he was rushed to the hospital in Auble's ambulance, accompanied by his wife, Rev. Fr. Charles A. Hoot, and Blaine Murray, of the local plant. He died about the time the ambulance reached Massillon.

His loss is one of the biggest the wood preserving industry in this country could suffer, officials of the Koppers Company, including J. H. Lay, head of the Orrville plant, claim.

        NATIVE OF CALIFORNIA
Born in California, he became associated with the wood creosoting industry when quite young, having started to work with Grant B. Shipley about 1902.  He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mary Jane of Youngstown; Mrs. Margaret Flint, of Springfield, O.; and Elizabeth, a student at Cleveland; two sons, Joseph, of Canton; and Daniel, of Cleveland; also two sisters in California, both of whom are Sisters in the Catholic church.

Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m., Saturday from the St. Agnes Catholic church here, with Rev. Fr. Charles A. Hoot in charge. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. Friends may call at the Weber home, 803 W. Church Street, Friday evening. Arrangements are in charge of Leickheim & Frey.

        WILL CLOSE PLANT
The Wood Preserving plant will be closed down Saturday. The following statement, prepared by Grant B. Shipley, chairman of the board of Koppers Company, Wood Preserving Division, gives many interesting facts concerning the career of Mr. Weber and the high esteem in which he was held by his superiors and fellow workmen:

    "It is with deep and sincere regret to learn of the death of Joseph M. Weber, a man who has always been devoted to his family, associates, church and community. Further he always conducted himself with modesty and kindness and ???, we his friends have known him just as 'Joe'.
    "He has been associated with me for 40 years and how well I knew him as a young man in San Francisco, Cal.; first as a machinist apprentice, during which time he attended the Humboldt Evening Technical School studying drafting, designing and engineering; then out on construction work.
    "In 1906 he moved to Milwaukee where he was employed as a draftsman, designer and construction engineer for Allis Chalmers Company.  He resigned that position in 1907 to take charge of construction for the Shipley interests which is now a part of the Koppers Company, Pittsburgh.

     BUILT MANY PLANTS
    "Joe has built more wood preserving plants than any other engineer in this country and some of the important jobs which he handles are as follows:
        Pittsburgh Wood Preserving Co., Adelaide, Pa.;
        Ohio Wood Preserving Co., Orrville, O.;
        Michigan Wood Preserving Co., Reed City, Mich.;
        New England Wood Preserving Co., Nashua, N.H.;
        Carolina Wood Preserving Co., Charleston, S.C.;
        Maryland Wood Preserving Co., Hagerstown, Md.;
        Delaware Wood Preserving Co., Newport, Del.

    "In addition to the above, he had charge of construction of plants for the following:
        A.T. & S.F. Railroad, Albuquerque, New Mex.;
        Pennsylvania Railroad, Mt. Union, Pa.;
        Pennsylvania Railroad, Philadelphia, Pa.;
        Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh, Bradford, Pa.;
        Kansas City, Mexico & Altos, Orient, Okla.;
        Central of Georgia at Macon and Savannah, Ga.;
        Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway, Hull, Boca Grande, Fla.;
        Detroit and Mackinaw Railroad, East Towas, Mich.;
        Houston Wood Preserving Co., Houston, Texas;
        Texas Wood Preserving Co., Orange, Texas;
        Western Union Telegraph Co., Chattanooga, Tenn.;
        L. A. Clarke & Son, Fredericksburg, Va.;
        Frick Coke Co., Electron, Pa.;
        Consolidated Lumber and Supply Co., Indiana, Pa.;
        Lake Shore Mining Co., Canada;
        McIntyre Mining Co., Canada;
        Hollinger Mining Co., Canada;
        National Lumber and Creosoting Co., Texarkana, Tex.;
        National Lumber and Creosoting Co., Denver, Colo.;
        Baker Wood Preserving Co., Washington Courthouse, Ohio;
        Mississippi, Kansas and Texas, Dennison, Texas.

    "Joe was this type of a man: you could hand him a million dollars and say 'Here Joe, you can go to South America or any other place and build this plant,' and from there on you would not have to worry about the job or the money; he was absolutely trust-worthy, dependable and the most indefatigable worker, and he got results.  How much better this world would be if there were more men like Joe and we are all going to miss him, and I would like to extend to his family and friends my sincere sympathy."

DEATH OF MRS L. FLINT.
----------------------------
FIRST LADY TO FIGHT BLACKBURN ELECTION
----------------------------

     Mrs. Lydia Flint, wife of Mr. Ernest Flint, a member of the staff of the Greenfield Mill Co., of 16 Spring Vale Garden Village, Darwen, has died at the age of 48.  The family (there are two boys) have been at Darwen since 1925.

     Before that time they lived in Blackburn, where Mrs. Flint played a particularly prominent part in various public affairs.  She was the first lady to contest a seat on Blackburn Town Council, being candidate in Trinity Ward in November, 1921.  She had a wide experience of public and administrative work.

     At one time she was a member of the Women's Liberal Executive, but later, along with her husband, joined the Labour Party, and was a most active worker.  During the war she represented the Blackburn Trades and Labour Council on the Food Control Committee and the Profiteering Committee.  She was a member of the After Care Committee of the Corporation in connection with the employment of children, and as secretary of the Blackburn Women's Council took a leading part in the movement for the institution of children's play centres.

     Always keenly interested in social and educational questions, she attended the Workers' Educational Association classes in history and economics, while following her employment as a weaver at Blackburn, and more than 20 years ago became a member of the Blackburn Women's Adult School.

     Very much opposed to war, she played a leading part in organising the women's peace crusade in Blackburn.  In order to take up this work she gave up scholastic training, to which she had been placed at Birmingham, and returned to the mill.  At Darwen, owing to family calls, she was not able to maintain all her public activities, but during her eight years there she had done much conspicuous work.

     Among other things she was one of the most active members of the Conference for the Relief of the Unemployed.  Recently she became a member of the Society of Friends at Darwen.

     The No More War Movement claimed her close attention and for many years she had been a member of the Workpeople's Panel in the Court of Referees.

     Her remains are to be cremated at Manchester on Saturday.  A meeting will first be held by the Friends at Greenfield Institute and it is expected that Mr. J. Percival Davies will attend as the Friends' representative. 		Leach, Lydia (I488)

SAXONIA / NIJNI NOVGOROD 1857
The SAXONIA was built by Caird & Co, Greenock in 1857 and was the first of three ships of this name owned by the Hamburg America Line. She was a 2,684 gross ton vessel, length 311.7ft x beam 42.6ft, clipper stem, one funnel, three masts (rigged for sail), iron construction, single screw and a speed of 10 knots. She was one of six sister ships, the others being HAMMONIA, BORUSSIA, AUSTRIA, BAVARIA and TEUTONIA. There was accommodation for 60-1st, 120-2nd and 450-3rd class passengers. Launched on 21/8/1857, she was immediately chartered to the British government to carry troops to the Indian Mutiny. On 1/4/1858 she sailed from Hamburg on her first voyage to Southampton and New York and in 1871 was fitted with compound engines by Reiherstieg, Hamburg. She commenced her last voyage from Hamburg to New York on 5/10/1873 and subsequently sailed on the Hamburg - West Indies service. In 1879 she was sold to the Russian Volunteer Fleet and renamed NIJNI NOVGOROD and was eventually scrapped in 1895.

ABRAHAM GALLATIN    

Was born in Pennsylvania, September 18, 1818. Here he followed farming and boat-building until 1842, when he went to Illinois. After spending two years there he returned to Pennsylvania, where he resumed his former business until 1852, at which time he came to California via New Orleans and Panama. We find him at once in the mines, where he remained until 1868. He then made a trip East and traveled in several of the different States for about two years, but finally settled in Napa City, Napa County. Here he resided until 1874, when he moved to Pope Valley, where he resided until December, 1878, when he moved to Lake County and settled on his present place, consisting of three thousand acres, located in Coyote Valley. Here he is engaged in farming and stock raising. Mr. Gallatin married, October 18, 1870, Mrs. Slonecker, a native of Pennsylvania. 		Gallatin, Abraham (I511)

ENOS J. CROWTHER, City Attorney, was born in England, September 24, 1852, and while yet a child his father came to this country and settled in St. Joseph in 1865.  He received a good education at the High School in this city, and graduated in 1873, at the head of his class.  He taught school in Holt County for some time, and studied law with the present judge of the Circuit Court, W. H. Sherman.  He attended the law course at the University of Michigan, and after receiving his degree he returned home and was admitted to practice before Judge Grubb, March 4, 1875.  After being admitted, he spent a year or more in traveling in Mexico for a large mining company.  On his return home, he was very soon elected to fill a seventeen months vacancy in the City Register's office.  At the next election he was renominated and elected for the full term.  After faithfully discharging the duties of Register for nearly four years, to the entire satisfaction of his constituents, he was nominated by the Republican party for City attorney, and over his popular competitor, William Fitzgerald, was elected by a large vote.  He is one of the rising young attorneys of the city.  He married Miss Effie G. Barnett in February, 1880.  She was the daughter of Dr. Barnett, late surgeon in the United States army. 		Crowther, Enos J. (I1808)
 
50      The St. Joseph Bond Case.
St. Joseph, Mo., March 16. - In the Circuit Court yesterday the case against Enos J. Crowther for complicity in the $100,000 bond robbery was continued.  The defense examined a number of witnesses as to previous good character of Crowther, while the State announced that this was not disputed.  A saloon keeper named Geiner was examined to prove an alibi, and Crowther and his wife were put on the stand to sustain it.  The attorneys for the prosecution state they will knock the wind out of the alibi scheme to-day. 		Crowther, Enos J. (I1808)
