Washington, May 30.--The president
and his party have completed the long
trip across the continent. Upon their
arrival at Washington this morning
they had been gone 81 days and had
travelled approximately $3.50 miles.
The last day of the homeward journey
was a ride across the presidents ma
tive state of Ohio. Only four stops
were made. the longest at Canton, the
presidents home town, where the train
remained for 20 minutes to give Mrs.
Mckinley an opportunity to see her
sister, Mrs. NJ. G. Barber, and her
niece, Miss Ida Barber.

Scene of the Wreck.
The scene of the accident was a point
about two miles out of Greenbush. on
the line of the Albany and Hudson rail
way The point where the cars met
on the single track was at sharp
curve. and so fast were both running
and so sudden was the collision that
the motormen never had time to put on
the brakes before south bound car No.
- had gone almost clean through north
bound car No. 10. with human flesh
for buffer. and hung on the edge of
high bluff with its load Of shrieking,
MANNED humanity One motorman was
pinioned up against the smashed front
of the south bound car. with both legs
severed and killed instantly, while the
other lived but few minutes.
Fully 100 men, women and children
formed huge, struggling, shreking
pyramid. mixed with blood, detached
portions Of human bodies and the
wreekage OF the ears. Some OF the
more slightly injured Of the men, extri-
eating themselves from the quivering
mass. began TO pull people out Of the
rear ends of the two cars, and almost
every one extricated In this way was
badly injured.
The scenes were heartrendlng. The
few women and children who had es-
capped injury and death were hysterical
and added their cries TO the shrleks of
the dying and muiilated. Men with
broken arms and bones, dislocated
joints and bloody faces tried to assist
others who We're more helpless, ana
there were many cases OF philosophical
bravery.
With both motormen killed It was
hard to get AT the real cause OF the ac-
cident but II il pretty well determined
that il was caused by an attempt Of the
south bound eur 10 reach second
switch instead OF waiting for the north
bound car at the first siding.

CAUSE OF HEART BEATS.
Scientists Claim that Salt Keeps it in
Action.

Experiments on turtles have con
WINGED DR.. jacques Loeb and Prof. d
J. Lingle. psychologists at the Univer'
sity of Chicago. that common salt in
the blood makes the heart beat. What
is more. they claim not only does salt
keep the heart in action, but that il
possibly may cause the heart to beat
again after it has once stopped.
For several months DR.. Loeb and
Prof. Lingle have been experimenting
to secure the necessary results to prove
their theory. They have conducted a
series of delicate scientific tests bear
ing upon the pulSation of the heart and
today made public the announcement
that the results they obtained had veri-
fed beyond a doubt their theory that
the presence of salt in the blood caus-
ed the beats of the heart. In the ex-
detrimental work conducted by the two
psychologists turtles We're used almost
exclusively. After shipping off the
head in as humane a way as possible,
the lower part of the shell was remov-
ed and the heart taken possession of.
Instead of taking the organ as whole
small strip from one of the ven
tricles was used. The blood was re
moved and a piece of flesh suspended
in different solutions. In this way
their conclusions were adduced
Dr. Loeb and PrOf- l-lngle claim that
the faIIacy or the early belief that the
heart beats because it is full of blood
was quickly shown when a strip of
the turtles heart was suspended in a
solution CT sodium chloride and a reg
ular series of beats began. Separated
from all nerve connections the lifeless
strip of heart muscle responded per-
fectly to the presence of the salty So
luton.
For weeks the experimentors work
ed to ascertain what qualities salt pos
sessed to cause this rhythmic beating of
the heart that were not possessed by
calcium or potassium. the salts of
which enter into the composition of
the blood. They found a solution of
the problem in the fact that the action
of sodium chloride was due to the pc
culiar character of the sodium. In
making the investigation they discov-
cred that a pure sodium chloride solu-
ton was destructive of heart tissues.
and that by mixing calcium and potas-
SUM solution with the sodium solu-
lions they found that the poisonous
effects of the sodium chloride were de-
stroyed.-Chicago Record.
