Three years ago, while commanding the ATTACK WRONG THUGS Sylvester Baronner, Hoilidays burg Assailed By Pair Seeking "Stevens" A package of papers and a badge saved Sylvester J. Baron ner, Hollidaysburg insurance agent, from death last night when he vas assailed by two men in his office, one of them firing at him with a revolver from a distance of four feet. Then, to climax the trick of fate, the assailants, for whom police are searching, discovered that Baronner was not the man they were seeking. The attack occurred about p. in.

yesterday in the office of Mr. Baronner. on the second floor of the Snyder building, Allegheny street, Hollidaysburg. Baronner liad just opened his office, and. after turning on the light, walked to a filing cabinet at the left side of the office, where the filing papers and calling cards are kept.

He placed the cards, together with package of papers in his vest pocket, and walked toward the desk. Sitting at Peek He was sitting at the desk going over the papers, when a stranger walked in, Baronner said in a statement last night to Harris Baird. deiultv sheriff. Baronner said lie ad dressed the man. saying evening can I do anything for you 7" "Yes, you can, Mr.

Stevens," the stranger replied, just as a second man walked into the office, grabbed Baronner's arm, and struck him a stunning blow on the temple. The blow swurjp Baronner around facing the first assailant, who fired a revolver point blank at Baronner from distance of about lour teet. Baronner said that he was stun- I ned by the blow, and fell to the floor in a con- remaining in a semi-conscious con lition. for more than 15 minutes. He said he then walked to the Capitol hotej, and called Joseph FiiU, constable of Hollidaysburg.

Believed He Was Shot He related the circumstances of the attack to Constable Filtz, and In company with the officer, returned the Snyder building. While walking through the hail, Baronner complained of feeling dizzy and would have fallen to the floor, if not held by Constable Filtz. Baronner whispered to Filtz that beiieved that he was shot. An examination of his vest, showed tnat the bullet pierced an identification badge and the calling cards, which rested over his fceart. The, bullt had bored through seven of the calling cards, but did not pierce his shirt.

Braise Over Heart An examination of Baronner's body revealed a bruise directly over the heart. The lead slug, which was found Harris Baird, was shot from a .22 calibre revolver, the officer said last night. A larger calibre gun, the officer said, would have probably caused fatal injury. According to the statement jnade Baronner to Harris Baird and Constable Filtz, he saw only' one man loitering at the head of the stairs when he entered his office. "I left door ajar, approximately six inches," he said "after I entered." One of the assailants was a small man of light build, while the other was much larger, Baronner said.

When they shot me, the little fellow held my arm. cried out, "My God, we shot the wrong man, this isn't Stevens." That the thugs evidently intended kill Bertram B. Stevens, superintendent of the Hollidaysburg branch the Prudential Life Insurance com- pany, is the belief expressed by the officers conducting the investigation. Stevens resides at S14 Edgar street, i Hollidaysburg.

Carrow, superintendent, of safety for the Pennsylvania Railroad company, in an address before more than 2,500 persons at the safety rally sponsored by the Central Pennsylvania Safety council in Roosevelt Junior High school auditorium last night.

For more flian two years, Mr. Car-row said, his department has been endeavoring to place safety in a position similar to that occupied by other departments of the railroad industry, 192H Record Cited He mentioned the record of the railroad last year when the fatalities were cut by 37 percent, or so less men killed than in the previous year. There were, he said, 3.800 fewer men killed or injured last year than in the previous year principally because of the work done by the safety department. These figures, ho declared, mean money to the company and to the employes, to say nothing, Mr. Car- row asserted, or tne mcaicuiauie value of saving human hie.

He spoke of the value of getting the safety habit, which, he said, is possible by constant application of the rules. Dnty of Industry' It is the dutv of industries to see that safeguards are provided for employes, the speaker declared. In outlining the rules for safety, he mentioned cleanliness about one's work; training, or inculcation of the safety habit; and the need for safety rules by every organization. If the rules are necessary, he said, it should be as vitaLfor every employe to observe them, and he asserted that all violations of the rules or unsafe methods of work should be considered as serious as though an accident had resulted In this way, the speaker averred, the necessity for safety will be impressed upon employes, Council's Work Lauded fieorere Odd.

The spirit of adventure is respon sible for many deaths, Mr.

24 vP Thirty-two sailors were homeward bound tonight, snatched from- death almost after all right to hope was gone. They are the crew of the Italian freighter Florida, storm wrecked S00 miles at sea, and they are alive onljr because the courage of American seamen was joined with the mysterious power of radio to determine the direction of an object out of sight Six of the crew were seriously injured, four others were very ill, and ail were exhausted. Rut thev are alive. and that is almost more than anyone would have thought could be their lot who could have seen their plight yesterday as Captain George Fried of the America described it today in his first account of the rescue in a dispatch i to The Associated Press.

Jan. 24 Rear Admiral Bullard of the coast guard declared today that he would be delighted Jf recommendations were made for the award of life saving medals to the lifeboat crew of the steamship America ywhich rescued the crew of the Italian freighter Florida. Captain George Fried of the America proposed award of medals in a radio dispatch to the Associated Press. Simultaneously, Representative Black, Democrat, New York, introduced a bill in the house proposing that congress tender its thanks to Captain Fried and the members of the America's crew and authorize the award of gold medals to the ship's commander and such members of the crew as he might certify as having shown "special courage in said rescue." The work of Captain Fried also was praised on the floor of the house by Representative Gibson, Republican, Vermont, who declared the rescue should be given proper recognition by congress. Press the story of the rescue of 25 men from the foundering British freighter Antinoe, ana today he told an equally stirring tale of skill and courage victorious over angry nature.

The America, Fried said, was inbound from Europe when it picked up SOS calls from both the Florida and the American tanker Dannedaike last Tuesday morning. The America was 350 miles away, but Captain Fried swung from his course and pushed toward the belt of windy fury in which the freighters lay disabled. The Dannedaike subsequently pulled off for Bermuda under a jury rig, but the Florida was crippled by the storm beyond any chance of help, ing herself. She must have been in a bad way long before she called for help, for Fried revealed today that she lost a man overboard last Sunday, two days before the SOS crackled from her wireless room.

Return of Half Receipfs to Municipality of Origin ARRISB L'RG, Jan. 24. HP) A proposal to aid municipalities by return of 50 per cent of the license fees collected from motorists of the state to the municipality of origin was submitted to Governor Fisher today by a delegation of officials from Pittsburg, Erie, Scranton, Reading and Wilkes-Barre.

At the end of the conference, the governor assured the delegates of his willingness to aid the cities if financial assistance could be extended without handicapping the present state highway system. At his request, the draft of a bill providing for the return of fees which the delegation had intended to present to the legislature next'week. was left with the governor for consideration. The proposed law. It was said, has the indorsement of 32 cities.

The cities are entitled to some refund, members of the delegation told the governor, because the great increase in automobile travel has imposed a great financial burden. The heavier construction and widening of streets and the additional police and electric traffic control made necessary are items of greatest expense, they said. Indications were given that the group would not be satisfied solely with the governor's plan, to take over all streets carrying state highways through cities, believing this provision should be made in addition to the proposed refund. Cotmties. they pointed out, are now given money by the state for road building purposes, the money representing one-sixth of the gasoline tax collected within their confines.

A similar stipulation to that of the counties, to use the refunds for main be in operation again, and the fact that it exists Is expected to be better-known and the patronage will be far heavier, the committee believes. W. F. Copp is chairman of the civic group this year, while H. J.
