A Score OF Persons Injured as the fiesult
of Collision on the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois Railroad-The Wreck Burned
An Engineer and Fireman Roasted to
Death Under Their LocomotIve-Fatal
Wreck on the Iowa Central.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14-The Crete accom-
mediation on the Chicago & Eastern Il
linois railroad, leaving Dearborn sta
tion at 7:20 o'clock last evening, was
telescoped at Fifty-ifth street by a
Chicago & Erie through train to New
York.
The accommodation train consisted
of three coaches filed with suburban
residents on their way to their homes
Fifteen people were severely injured
in the wreck and scarcely any one of
the $50 or more passengers escaped
some bruises or minor injury.
To add to the horIor of the scene,
the center coaek-of tlsc accommodation
train caught fire from the overturned
stove, while three passengers, two
women and one man, were caught in
the wreckage close to the flames, and
were cut away from their perilous po-
sition by the heroic efforts of their fell
low passengers.
The accommodation train, which had
been delayed, was standing on the main
track at Fifty-ffth street, when the ex-
press crashed into the rear car at full
speed. Three cars of the accommoda-
ton train were telescoped, and the de-
struction was so complete that it seemed
little less than miracle that scores of
people were not killed outright.
Scarcely had the MANNED and bleed
ing passengers began to emerge from
the wrecked cars when the debris took
fire from an overturned stove. For
tunately a supply of water was near at
hand, and those less seriously injured
succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
but not until mum ber of the impris-
oned passengers had been badly
scorched. The weather was intensely
cold, and some of the helpless victims
suffered frost bites in addition to their
other injuries.

Canada as settled by the Ashburton
treaty in 1912. The custom houses are
at the railroad stations on or near the
line. Sometimes the custom house Is
three or four miles from the line. The
collectors at these ports do not exert
themselves very much In the way OF
guarding the frontier. IN some in
stances they lend a helping hand to
the smuggler, "A collector OF small
post on the New York frontier told the
writer of q scheme he had devised to
help the "boys" bring horses from
Canada to the United States. He
talked freely about the matter, and
seemed to think that he owed these
courtesies to the boys for having III
dorsed him for the office OF collector.
Along the New York and Vermont
frontier, every few miles can be found
what is known as the line store. :"
These stores are built on the boundary
line part of the store being in Canada
and part in the United States. The
chief object OF these stores Is to avoid
the payment of the Government license
required of retail dealers in liquor.
Another object is to avoid the customs
duties on such ai ticles Us are generally
sold in country stores. They are close
lv watched, however. and not much Is
done in the way OF evading customs
duties. But as respects the avoidance
of the Government license tax, the
scheme is almost perfection Itself.
When the Amcric in customer comes to
buy whisky be must 90 to the Canada
side Of the store. but when a Canadian
wants his Jug filed he must go over
to the counter on the American side.
Saturday afternoons and rainy days II
s. a common SIGHT to see the lines 81
customers going and ming. one from
Canada and the other from the United
States. The proprietor escapes paying
a fax in the United States for the rea-
son that he does not sell liquor to a
citizen Of this country on American
soil and the Government cannot br ng
a FOREIGNER into this country as wit
hess.
The country along the northern
boundary OF New York and Vermont IS
not very thickly settled. and the leo-
pie living there are are rather old
fashioned: ye:, i'll 4 quiet and prcsy
way. there is a good dea! of mnggllng
~ ,ino on. ltlsa wonder that this part
ri the frontier is not better guarded.
There are no police regulations what
ever. The in pectors at the railway
staff ms go to bed and to sleep at night
and the bars between Can ida aad tle
United States are eft down, win NJ
one TO watch them. That tae SNUG
plers living a!cng the line make the.
m st of thi- opportunity Is matter OF
. mmon notoriety in this part OF the
county.
