EASTO.V, Pa.. May 1 Failure of .1

caution is alleged today to have been
the cause of Saturdays fatal railroad

The 'wreck w as caused by the heavy
train spreading the rails.
Statistics gathered today have in
creased the known number of dead from
six to eleven. Five of these have been

badly burned or mutilated when the
train plunged from the rails on a curve
that even their sex may never be de
termined. From reports on conditions of the in
jured who are being cared for in Eas

Company Not Liable for
Overflow Waste Water
Owners of real estate must protect
their own lands against overflow of
waste water and cannot recover dam
ages against persons owning property
from which the water flows, according
to a decision today of the District
Court of Appeals.
A verdict for $900 Mrs. Mary A.
Thomas secured against the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company for alleged
damage to her property Is set aside by
the Appellate Court, declaring the com
pany is not liable for damages canned
by waste water flowing from its right-of-way.
The opinion of Justice Robb says the
common law rule Imposing a duty upon
property owners to care as best they
can of overflows upon their land is in
force In the District, under an opinion
of the United States Supreme Court,
written by Justice Brewer.

VETERAN AIDS GIRL
"MAN OF THE HOUSE"
Soldiers' Home Inmate Sends Dollar to Eva Sewell, 1213
Eleventh Street Southeast, Who Still Has Faith in
Deserting Father.
By SELENE
Is it ten-year-old Eva Sewell the
man of the house you're looking for
again today?
Then push open the big wooden
door next to the bakery, and you find
yourself In the dark little alley that
is the entrance to Eva's home at 1213
Eleventh street southeast Mount the
rickety stairs leadintr to the second
floor back, and you have now reached
a still more rickety balcony which Is
not the place to quote "Romeo. Ro
meo. " but to ask tor wva &ewii
Her grandmothei will request ou
to bo seated until Eva comes In from
an errand, for a ten-year-old girl who
keeps the family together while her
father deserts, must run numerous
errands, of course. And now, see the
home which fiall little Eva Sewell,
with the body of the will o' the wisp,
and the heart of a strong man, is de
termined to keep together. It con
sists of three dingy rooms into which
none of the spring sunshine finds Its
way. The breakfast table, unsteady
on Its legs, has not been cleared of
its empty plates, some remaining
hunks of bread, and a few battered
spoons.
Scene of Destitution.
A small cook stove, unused because
the price of coal is not within reach
of a family whose husband and
father has deserted, stands in one
corner of the room, and In the other
a dilapidated lounge with an old
quilt for covering, adds another
hideous note of destitution to the
squalid scene.
"Eva hasn't done her usual house
keeping today." explains the infirm
grandmother In apology for the dis
order and uncleanllness of the place.
"And her mother?"
"Hush-sh-sh-sh!" says the old wo
man In" a sort of frenzy of fear. "If
Eva should hear you! You see, her
mother's out .today looking for a
home to put her In, and we don't
want her to know It till the last
minute. She's a queer sort o' child,
dreamy like, and always hopin'.
. "Let's Hold Out Together."
"Now, her father'3 been gone well
nlgh onto five weeks, and she still
says he's a coming back. That's why
she goes out on errands with such
a good heart, and why her courage
hasn't given out once In all this time.
She believes he's coming back, and
she keeps on a saying to her mother:
'"Let's hold together, ma. let's hold
together.'
"She thinks she can be the man of
the house until my daughter's hus
band gets back, and she don't seem
to be able to realize what a deserter
Is."
Why, of course not! For at that very
moment, a light step was heard on
the rickety stair, and while the grand
mother's hand was still Ufted in a warn
ing for silence, the flower-like face of
Eva Sewell anpeared at the door.
. "I'm too little to get very much work,"
she explained to me, "but I guess you've
heard it said that every little bit makes
a little bit more. I'm sure my papa
must have Just got tired and gone off
to rest, for it ain't any easy job, is it,
thl staking care of a family?"
Believes No Wrong of Father.
And, seating herself quite primly on
the remaining shaky and uncertain
chair, Eya Sewell proceeded to deliver
a preachment on the manly virtues of
her runaway father, whom she adores,
and of whom she will believe no evil.
"I'm sure he's coming back," she says,
with a pathetic smile, "though it does
seem a long time waiting. Tou see, he
must a' just-got tired supportin' us all,
and gone off to take, a rest.--'
"She's a dreamy sort o" child. nnt
always a hopin'." muttered the old
grandmother again.
And little Eva's hope was Justified
today to some extent, at least. An

GANG DRIVING THE FIRST STAKE.
ARMSTRONG.
old soldier in the Soldiers' Home, who
read her story in' The Times of last
Wednesday, wrote:
"Dear Times:
"I saw in jour last night's edition
about that dear ten-year-old, manlv
little girl, and I could not get her out
of my mind. So please accept Jl for her.
It win give them a little assistance. In
haste. S. L. B.
P. S If I live to the ISth of June.
I will he eighty-five."
It was a wonderful moment for little
Eva Sewell when" I handed her the dol
lar sent by the old soldier, who will be
eighty-five next June
"Why. It's more than I could earn
running errands in a whole week,"
she gasped, her eyes wide with the
wonder of the Joyful surprise
Father Gone Five Weeks.
If Walter B. Sewell. who nearly five
weeks ago disappeared from his home,
leaving nis wife, her mother, and
three children without means of sup
port, should read this story, he Is ask
ed to remember that a little girl he
knows is holding the family together
until he returns.
"He Is a plasterer who makes enough
to support a family on." say his neigh
bors." but seeing as he left 'em once
before, chances are he'll not show up
again."
But Eva Sewell believes with all
the faith of a little girl of ten that
her papa is only taking a vacation
from the arduous duties of supporting
a family, and so, she keeps a brave
heart, and says with two months' rent
due'
We'll hold together till he comes
back "

thinks she's a queer child always a

Even the small boy who could not
hope to go to the circus this afternoon
was in his element this morning, for the
circus came to him. Promptly at 10
' o'clock the first big gilt band wagon
rolled out of the Rlngl'ng Brothers' cir
cus grounds at Fifteenth and H streets
northeast. The drum major twirled his
baton, cornets shrilled, big bass horns
tooted in echo, and the parade was on.
Aid It was some parade. There was
three miles of It, and when the steam
calliope, with Its whistled tunes, at the
end of the procession, was turning from
Fifteenth street into the Avenue by the
Treasury, the drum major was Just en
tering the Capitol grounds. There were
gilt wagons galore, and so many bands
that one became mixed up on the tunes.
There were many wijd animal cages,
also, and acrobats astride of wonderful
trick horses.
The small boy missed none of the pa
rade. The line of march extended from
the circus grounds out Maryland ave
nue to B street northeast, to New Jersey
avenue, to Massachusetts avenue, to
K, passing out west to Twenty-second
street, then back on Pennsylvania ave
nue to First street, to B, Maryland ave
nue and back to the tents.
The Treasury steps and Lafayette
Park were the popular places for the
crowd to gather, although, as a matter
of fact, some of the youngsters followed
the parade all the way.
The circus grounds were crowded all
of yesterday with a curious crowd. In
the" afternoon, when the animals in the
big menagerie tent were fed, all the
children accompanied by their parents
were admitted free of charge, and the
round of the cages was made with inter
est. When the doors opened at 1 o'clock an
Immense throng was on hand for the
opening performance, which began
promptly at 2 o'clock. This evening the
doors will open at 7 o'clock, and the
performance will begin at 8 o'clock.

Court; President Lowell, of Harvard
University, and Lawrence Maxwell, a
lawyer of Cincinnati, will be held at
the White House this afternoon. The

While this meeting was called for the
purpose of organizing, the most import
ant matter to come before It was the
eligibility of Mr. Maxwell to sit as a
member. His qualifications have been
seriously questioned, and most of the
time of this initial session will be spent
in discussing this matter.
The commission was created by an
act of Congress to inquire into the dif
ferences between the Postofflce Depart

the country over the second class mall

Ishers interested In the findings of th's
commission, but a vast number of other
interests are involved. This is especial
