tracts for the purchase of coal lands in the

Its Consideration.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 1.-THE Constltu'

the Committee on Suffrage. Mr.. Mar
shall, of Craig, endeavored to get the body
to name Monday next as the time when

said he desired the cooperation of the
people of the city.
"If during the next two years." the
message says, "any citizen or any employe
of the city pays money illegitimately either
to avoid inconvenience or to secure his
rights, he will do it because he wants to,
not because he must. No one, from the
largest corporation to the poorest boot
black, need pay one dime for protection
from harm, or to secure just treatment, at
the hands of the city government. No la
borer, or other employe need part with
one cent of his salary to any one, either in
or out of the city government. Any one
asked to make an improper payment for
any purpose las only to report the fact to
the mayor to be sure of protection and
redress. With the cooperation Of the
citizens and of the city employees, the
whole foul system can be broken up"

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
3. & o. Passenger Train Has Marrow
Escape From HeId-up.

Cumberland, Md, Jan. GA report
was received here this afternoon OF bold
attempt to hold up the Baltimore q
Ohio express train No. 7, bound for chi
cago, which left here at IL O'Clock last
night.
The scene of the attempt WAS at Swan
ton. an isolated spot on the seventeen-mlle
grade on the Alleghaney, about seventeen
miles west of here The operator, M. j.
Sarsfield, states that five men came into
his office, the operator being alone and
no house near, and offered him candy
Before he knew it he was knocked into
insensiblty, a padded club being used
over his head. The men then turned a
switch, running the fast flying train into
a derailing switch used for freight traffic
The quick application of air brakes pre-
vented the train from being ditched. The
train crew anticipated trouble and the
armed express officers, who protect trains
from hold.ups through that region, made
such a demonstration that the men rushed
into the mountain, while shots were ex'
changed.

PASSENGER AND
FREIGHT COLLIDE
Horrible Wreck on POCahOntaS Division
of Norfolk and Western.
THREE MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES
They We're All Worthy Men and Trusted
Employees of the Norfolk and
Western Company.

There was a frightful wreck on the Poca'
hontas division of the n. & w. last Mon
day morning al $3.50 o'clock. 1t was oc.
casioned by head on collision between
No. 4, passenger train going east, and q
west bound freight. The collision occurred
near Alnwick station. Orders had been
given the freight to pass o. at that sta
ton; but the crew of the freight train
found they could not reach Alnwick in
time to clear for No. 4, and the engine
was cut loose, running to point near Ain
wick, where the fiagman, William Turner,
was stationed to signal No. 4. The freight
engine then went back and was coupled to
the train and started forward at the rate
of about five miles an hour. When within
a quarter of mile Of the siding it collided
with No. f. The passenger train was run
ming on schedule time, and the engineer
and fireman failed to see the signals given
by the fagman, Turner. No. 4 was given
the signal at AlnWick that the block was
clear, and this, with the fact that the flag
man was at an unusual point, must have
caused them not to see his signals. Tur-
ner, the hagman, was run over by No. 4 and
killed. 1t il supposed that in his heroic
and frantic desire to prevent the collision
he remained on the track waving his Ian
tern until struck by the engine.
When the crash came the baggage and
mail CARS telescoped each other, and the
baggage car caught on fire. Hugh M.
Smith, express messenger, was caught un-
der the express and baggage in the car ,and
must have been instantly killed, as he was
never heard to make sound after the ac-
cldent.
The engineer of the passenger train was
Mr.. Chas c. Bailey, who was thrown from
the cab window. There were no outward
signs of injury to his body, but he COM
planned that his stomach hurt him. lie
died at 1920 that afternoon. Mr.. Bailey
was married about two years ago to Miss
May Hall, of North Tazewell, daughter of
Mr.. Thomas Hall and sister Of DR.. w. |.
and Mr.. Geo. P. Hall. He is said to have
been an excellent man, and was one of
the most trusted men in the employ Of the
Norfolk & Western.
NJ. I. Roberts, the postal clerk. was
thrown into the baggage car when the two
cars telescoped. His escape was remarka-
BILE, but he received cuts and bruises on
his head.
The fireman on No. 4, Samuel McFar-
land, escaped without any injury, as did
the engineer and fireman of the freight
train.

CRISIS AT MEXICO Cl1Y.
The Trouble with ChiIeans Over the
Arbitration Question.

Mexico City, January THE arbltra-
ton situation has reached crisis among
the delegations of the Pan-American con-
ference. Today the Central and South
Americans, opposed to the Chileans, held
FREQUENT meetings to decide on the form of
procedure under which they will introduce
the arbitration plan into the conference.
If they cannot find form acceptable to
the other delegations, they will probably
withdraw. The Chileans also say that in
whatever form the compulsory arbitration
plan is reported to the conference, they
will quit.
Tt still remains probable that if the Chill
cans are as good as their word, they will
withdraw from the conference. The Chill
cans have presented to the officials OF the
conference a memorandum stating that in
whatever form the compulsory plan is pre-
sented to the conference they will with
draw. In making this statement the dele
gates of Chile recall the conditions under
which Chile accepted the invitation to tue
conference, viz;
That if any attempt were made to intro
duce into the conference vexatious ques-
tons for the purpose of openly antagoniz-
ing Chile, the delegates of that country
would be withdrawn. The object that the
Mexican delegates and w. l. Buchanan,
the American member of the Arbitration
Committee, have been pursuing during re-
cent negotiations, has been to find meth
cd by which the compulsory plan might
be introduced in such manner as to salts
