STREET CARS COLLIDE
1T OCCURRED IN THE DARKNESS OF
A DENSE FOG.
George Case, of Greenfield, May Be
Fatally H~urt-Several 9th
ers Injured.

A collision yesterday morning near Gem
fifteen passengers and an outbound bag
gage and express car resulted In probable
fatal injuries to George Case, of Green
field, severe cuts and bruises to Emery
Scott, motorman of the baggage car, and
less serious injuries to Motorman Glass
cock, of the passenger car, and most or
the passengers. beside great damage to the
car.
The collision, it was said, was due to the
dense fog and also to errors of judgment
.on the part of Motorman Glasscock.
The baggage car left indianapolis at $50
a. m. behind a passenger car, which as a
rule 1t closely follows and passes the in
bound passenger car leaving Greenfield at
6 a. m. Owing to the fog Motorman Scott
ran a considerable distance behind the
passenger car. After the first outbound
car passed the car from Greenfield at the
usual switch, Motorman Glasscock pulled
out onto the single track and tried, 1t was
thought, to reach the next switch before
the baggage car. Glasscock was just get
ting his car under good Roadway when the
collision occurred. There was no time TO
stop either of the cars. so close were hey
together when the collision was seen to be
unavoidable.
George Case was sitting at the front end
Of the passenger car with a baby in his
arms. He was badly bruised about the
body, and his spine was injured. He saw
the approaching baggage car and turned,
holding the baby out at arms length.
The babe was uninjured. A Miss Farley
was thrown almost through a window,
but was uninjured except for a few slight
being cut by flying glass, and the bruises
of several were thought for a time to be
serious. A field hospital was opened
and kept in operation until noon, by which
time the company had transferred all of
the injured to their homes in Greenfield.
Ii was estimated by one of the company's
officials that the loss occasioDed by the
collision would amount to 5000.
The fog, to which the collision on the
Greenfield line was mainly due, was also
the cause of a collision on the North In
dianapolis line at New York street and
but no one was seriously injured. The fog
was so dense that even pedestrians were
obliged to use some caution TO keep from
running against others. There were a num-
Der of collisions and narrow escapes be-
tween bicyclists.
One popularity of the dense fog was that
II was not noticeable until almost 6 o'clock,
and disappeared with great rapidity. There
was, however, a heavy mist in the air until
late in the forenoon, but after the sun
came up there was no interference with
traffic.

Players Urged Not to Sign.

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 19.-The commit
tee of the Players Protective Association
has sent out a circular letter to all ball
players of their association. telling of the
unsuccessful efforts TO secure redress at
the meeting of the National Ball League,
and saying:
ut looks pretty sure that the National
League owners are going to cut salaries all
along the line. We give you our judgment
on this, so that you may all bear IL in mind
later, when you have to decide whether to
sign in the National or the Amer
lean. . Much of a cut, you see, would
bring the average salary paid in
the two leagues pretty close together.
All things considered. we believe IL would
be unwise for US now to start a war
ourselves; that at present players should

lean does become entirely independent:
that American League players may at any
time now sign contracts in that league.

Mr.. PULLIAM in THE CITY
HE STOPPED OFF HERE TO TALK
WITH JOHN II. BRUSH.
The Former Magnate Claims to Know
Nothing of the Baseball
Situation.

Harry Pulliam, late secretary OF the
Pittsburg Baseball Club and well known
in baseball circles, was in the city yes
terday, having stopped over en- route from
Pittsburg to Louisville to call on his friend
John T. Brush, president of the Cincinnati
club. Mr.. Pulliam is in poor health and he
says he will go to Kentucky for a few
months to recuperate. Mr.. Pulliam at
tended the National League meeting in
New York last week, but like other base-
ball men will not discuss the situation.
II really have nothing to say about the
baseball situation" said Mr.. Pulliam. in
answer to a question concerning the
threatened war. MANY people believe that
the men who are supposed to be on the
inside know just how it will all terminate,
but L am not on the inside and / do not
believe there is any person connected with
baseball or out of it that can predict the
final outcome of all the stories and ru-
mors that have been printed. Those who
are On the inside will not discuss the mat
ter, for the condition of things at the pres
ent time compels them to remain quiet as
far as the public is concerned"
HAS your visit to Indianapolis and to
Mr.. Brush any bearing on the war talk
or on baseball?" was asked.
"Oh. no. replied Mr.. Pulliam. 81 only
dropped off here to visit Mr.. Brush i'm a
friendly way. i am not engaged in base
ball at the present time, but in search of
health. After l recuperate / cannot tell
just what l will do
Mr.. Pulliam was connected with the
Louisville club for some time and went to
Pittsburg last season as secretary and bust
ness manage of that club. He severed con-
n~ections with President Kerr, of the Pitts
burg club. last fall. When asked con-
corning the baseball outlook in Louisville
he replied that that city would certainly
support another club. as being without
baseball last season will cause the sup
porters OF the game 10 want the city TO
be represented in another league. He
would not say, however, whether Louis
vile would probably be in a league next
year or IL he would be connected with a
club in that city. He left for Louisville last
evening.
Mr.. Brush will not discuss baseball at all,
and President Watkins, of the indianapolis
club. is a star member OF the "On the
Quiet" Co npany.

character of the soil permit successful
late summer or early fall planting,
ranging from July to October, accord
Ing to Professor Hugh Starnes Of Geor-
gia, from whose interesting cultural
directions the following notes on trans
planting r made. Being intended for
a particular locality they should be re-
garded as more or less elastic for other
sections:
Only the amateur, growing on q
small scale or regardless of expense
can afford to use ported plants. Much
less expensive is the use of one of the
Improved hand transplanters. With.
these transplanters, setting may pro-
coed at almost any time during the
growing season as safely as with pot
ted plants. One transplanter consists Of
an "excavator," with which the holes
for the reception Of the plants are
made; a ..transplanter." which is a
small zinc cup, in which the plant is
taken up and conveyed to the field, and
an ~sejector.' having q slotted disk at
THE end for the accommodation of the
crown Of the plant, by which the plant
Ifs expelled after the cup has been
placed In the hole. One hundred extra
cups will enable the operator to take a
wagon load at one time from the old
plat to the new.
No two planters ever agree as to the
best mechanical routine in transplant
ing or the best implements to use. The
following plan, however, has been
found effective and expeditions: Secure
the plants for resetting by using a
spade, or, better, a spading fork, and
loosen the entire row. Take up. throw
out the old plants, which are worthless,
separate and bunch up In convenient
handfuls. trimming off the remains of
runners and dead tops and shortening
In the roots one-third. Place in buck
cts. with an inch or SO of water to keep
the roots moist. Standing thus a day
or two will not hurt.
In putting out the plants q man with
q spading fork, which is better than a
spade, or any form Of trowel, should
precede a boy with the plants In a
bucket Let the fork be inserted In
the ground crosswise with the row at
an angle OF some 60 degrees. Raise
the handle of the fork to a perpendicu-
lar. Have the boy insert a plant, with
the roots spread fan shape, in the crew
Ice thus made. Place the foot against
the fork IN the opposite side from the
plant and lower the handle of the fork,
at the same time Withdrawing it. The
dirt will thus be pressed firmly against
the roots as the fork comes out, and

Make the end pieces B B from the
same sized timber and long enough to
make the rack Of suitable width. Cut

the stills and just far enough apart so
that when in place the sills will fit
snugly between the stakes. The cross
pieces @ % are 2 by 4 inches, of the
same length as the end pieces, with a
half inch notch in them to, drop over
the stills and q small cleat on top Of
the sill on each side Of them to hold
them in place. The boards D d are
10 inches wide and of the same length
as the stills and lie fiat on top: There
should be a tenon cut on each end Of
these boards two inches narrower than
the board.
Now go to the blacksmith and have
four staples made Of t~hree-eighth inch
round iron Of proper siza t go over
the lemons on the ends of the boards

in Fig. 2. Put the staple In the sill on
the outside near the end and the eye
bolt through the end piece at 6 In such
q manner that when the nut is tight
