Day Was Just Dnwning.
When the trains met day was just
dawning, and the fog was so thick
that engineers could not see more
than 100 yards al cad. The trains
were to have passed at San Lake, two
miles south of Pierson, at 4:52. No.
2 was evidently late, and was trying
to make the siding at Pierson. The
Northland express had the right of
way, and was going at nearly full
speed. Either the engineers blum
dered in their orders, or were unable
to see signals on account of the fog.
Both Engineers and Firemen Killed.
A telephone message from Pierson
says that the engineers and firemen
of both trains were killed, as well as
five other persons. The express train
was made up largely of Pullman cars
1t carried the Grand Rapids coach. n

cinnati and the south, the buffet car
and baggage a
Fixing the Blame.
According to the railway officials,
the collision was the fault of Opera
tor Wells, stationed at Mill Creek,
four miles north of this city. The
trains usually meet at Sand Lake, two
miles south of Picrson. An order was
issued that they meet at Woodstock,
four miles north of Person. Later.
Operator Wells was asked II the ex-
press had passed his station yet. He
answered NO" He was then told
to -countermand former orders, and
to give riders to No. 5 to meet No. 2
at Sand Lake. Similar orders were
given to No. 2. Train No. s never got
the order, having already passed Mill
Creek. They collided, therefore,
while both were going at full speed.

Ripans Tabules in all the papers but had no faith
In them. but about SIX weeks since q friend In

no recurrence Of the attacks. Have never given a

RAILWAY EARNINGS.
May Report Shows a Gain of 9.56 Per
Cent. Over Last Year.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Dun's Review to-
day says: Many reports representing
monthly earnings have been received for
May and total gross earnings of all United
States roads included are s45. 1875. gain
of $50 per cent. over last year, and 1906 per
cent over 1898. Roads reporting embrace
$1,000 miles-nearly one-half the total mile
age of the United States, and many leading
systems. Traffic last year was remarkably
heavy and the increase in the earnings this
year reflects greater improvements Grain
movement in the West during May was
much below preceding years, yet granger
roads report an increase in earnings of 3.5
per cent. over last year and 1913 per cent.
over 1898. In the South the cotton move
ment was reduced, yet earnings are sc per
cent over last year and 1919 per cent over
1898. The movement of other classes of
freights has been enormous this year. Gen.
trail Western and Pacific roads report the
largest increase in earnings. while on trunk
lines. Southern and Southwestern roads
earnings are considerably above last year
and very much larger than in 1898. In the
following table earnings of roads reporting
for May are compared with last year:

This Is Simply Awful.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 9.-The Daily
News to-day says: 1.-The officials of the
Federation OF Women's Clubs have received
startling information regarding their or
ganization. Instead of being an organiza-
ton with general powers to include all
womens clubs, no matter what their OBJ
ject, within it's association the General
Federation of womens Clubs has but the
power officially TO reform men and women,
with the word limited to the actual mean
ing of reformation as generally understood
in charitable work Such is the remark
able discovery which has been made by
attorneys who have been looking up the
subject for leading members of the or
ganization and 1t is doubtful if under it's
present organization the General Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs could hold it's name
should any other organization of women
desire 70 usurp the title.
1.-THE defect in the charter is said to have
first been noticed when the question of re-
organization came up in the convention.
Some of the opponents of reorganization
were of the belief that the powers desired
to be added TO the society under the re-
organization plan could not legally be ac-
cepted. An appeal to a firm of New Jersey
corporation lawyers was made and the
federation was advised that the association
was not formed under the laws set forth
in it's charter. To obviate trouble in the
future an application will be made to the
next Congress for a federal charter"
