SPREADING RAILS
Cause Wreck of st. Paul and
Minneapolis Limited.

Chicago, Sept. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Oregon, Ill, says:
The st. Paul and Minneapolis Limit
ed, which left Chicago last night at
$50 on the Burlington road, was wreck
ed early today half a mile east of Chana,
near this city.
The fireman was thrown from his en-
gine and instantly killed. The passen-
sengers received a severe shaking up
and were badly scared, but none otthem
was seriously injured. Most of those in
the sleeping cars climbed out of the
wreckage through the windows. The en-
gineer jumped and escaped with slight
hurts.
Spreading rails was responsible for
the accident, which happened when the
train was making about thIrty-five
miles an hour. The engine, mail car
and combination smoking car and buff

and thrown across the track, but they

Ralph Hobart of Chicago, a passenger
in the coach next to the rear, said that
the rails were torn up and three of the
four cars ahead were thrown across a
ditch He said no women were taken
through the windows of the sIeepers.

Chancellor Strong Talks About
New journalism Course.
Something More Than Theory
Will Be Taught.
TALKS BY THE EDITORS
Will Be Series of Lectures by
Practical Newspaper Men.
There VIII Also Be Actual
Newspaper Work Done.

Chancellor Strong, of the State uni
versity, proposes to make the course ip
journalism, which he is inaugurating
in the university this fall, as practical
as possible. but it may not be entirely
completed this year. 1t requires time
to bring such things to perfection. A
professor for the chair of Journalism
will be eventually secured, but not un-
til Chancellor Strong is sure he has
found the right man.
1T does not pay to make too much
haste in such matters" he said. I'VE
probably will not fill this chair the
present year, as we want to make sure
that we get the right sort of a man
for the place, and that will take time"
For the present the course will en-
brace English composition and the fun
damentals of law economics, and a
thorough course in history and kindred
TOPICS and it will also include a course
of lectures by practical newspapers
men-men who are successful in diff
ferent branches of newspaper work. In
discussing the proposed course Cham
cellor Strong said:
"A journalistic course must be found
ed, of course. upon good rhetoric. and
the art writing clear. concise Eng
lish will form the foundation of the
course. Along with this we are formu-
lating courses for business men, men
who may be called upon for large busi-
ness enterprises, and these will include
studies in consular law. international
law economics, history, and similar
subjects. We have about five hundred
different courses in the university. and
we aim to make it possible for stu
dent to come there and find something
which will fit him for practical work
along lines for which he is specially
lifted.
"A feature of the journalistic course
will be the study and analysis of papers
which are recognized all over the coun-
try as being especially strong editorial
ly. Thev will be taken by the uniNer-
sity and their editorial pages analyzed
each da~-
Another feature will be lectures by
successful newspaper men of the state.
This viii include Droprietors. managing
editors, city editors, business managers,
and also foremen of the mechanical
departments. This will be supplement-
ed, too. by visits to newspaper plants,
so that students may view them in op-
Grafton and see their practical working.
Practical newspaper work around the
university will also be done in connec-
tion with our news bulletins and other
publications d"

UNCLE SAM TAKES HOLD
Federal Government Interested
in Western Coal Trust.

The federal authorities may prosecute
the coal trust through the district at
tOrney's office. The department of JUS
tice has ordered ]. S. Dean, United
States district attorney to investigate
the conditions to determine if a trust
exists.
Assistant Attorney McKeever will
have charge of the investigation in Kan
sas but the investigation will also be
carried on in Missouri by the attorneys
of that district.
The department of justice ordered the
investigation on the strength of a let
ter sent out from Kansas City Septem-
ber l. This circular letter from the
Mid-State Coal Dealers association and
the Interstate Association of Operator
announced the advance in the price OF
coal to go into effect September l.
Attorney McKeever said;
Il am so certain that there is a COM
bine or trust among the coal operators
in Kansas that / am going to probe the
matter to the bottom. AS to the method
of procedure, / am not yet ready to
talk 1t may be possible that the best
manner to get the disired information
from them is to bring certain of the
operators that L now have in mind up
before the grand jury and let them tell
what they know of the situation and ex-
plain the matter of these meetings they
have been holding the last Saturday of
each month or at other times. They
may also be able to explain there some
of the wonders of how it is known be-
forehand that the price of coal is going
to advance at such and such time.

case than to bring the operators up
against the grand jury although l con-
slider that a feasible plan"

NOT IN HIS CLASS.
Morton AIbaugh Reflects on
Treasurer Kelly's Refusal.

"I notice." said Morton Albaugh re-
fectivelv today. as he leaned back in
his chair and put his feet up on his
desk and settled back to read a news
paper. 'T notice that this paper says
my office is not in the same class with
Tom Kelly's. and that 7 ought to bet
with somebody in my class if 1 want
to bet
'I guess that's right" he continued
I'll have to concede that my office isn't
in Toms class. My office pays only
s., 500 a year and l don't have any state
funds that I can deposit in the banks
and get per cent. interest on. Tom S
office pays the same salary. but in ad-
ditiOn he has an average of a half mil
lion dollars of state funds in the banks
all the time, and now he has made
arrangements to raise a half million
more for deposit. Let's see-um-um-
2 per cent. on a million dollars is
twenty thousand. No, guess I made a
mistake in expecting Tom to take my
offer. I'm not in his class"

WORK OF GHOULS.
Graves Were Entered and Robbed
at Newport News.

Newport News, Va, Dec. S.-The To-
cal police are on the trail of an or
ganized band of ghouls, who for many
weeks, it is believed, have been en-
gagged in desecrating the graves in
Greenlawn Cemetery and robbing the
newly inferred bodies of their jewelry,
shrouds and clothing.
From discoveries made it is evident
that this practice has been carried on,
but to what extent is not known. Two
bodies, that were exhumed for the pur-
pose of removal to other lots, were
discovered to be in a completely nude
condition, Notwithstanding the fact
that both bodies had been buried in
handsome and costly clothing.
The bodies were those of Mrs. Edwin
Thompson and her father, John Mich
olas, and the discovery was made by
Mr.. Thompson himself Both bodies
had been embalmed before burial and
were in a good state of preservation
when the collins were opened for the
purpose of identification and the dis

HOW GEORGIANS JARED
ON HOUSE COMMITTEES
Good Places Were Given by Speaker Cannon to
the Delegation from This State.

two committees. In the House, as it
is now constituted, Mr.. Brantley does
not rattle around in the shoes OF any
man who has preceded him from the
Brunswick district Not only is Mr..
Brantley recognized as one of the
ablest young lawyers in the House,
but he has a pleasing personality,
which renders him popular both on
the minority and the majority side of
the chamber.
Representative Carter Tate has good
assignments on the Committee on
Naval Affairs, one of the most i'm
portant committees; the Committee on
Mines and Mining. and also the Com
mittee on Pensions. Next to Appro-
priations, there were more aspirants
for assignment to the Naval Commit
tee than any of the places within the
gift of the Speaker.
Representative Howard returns to
Foreign Affairs, with the Library Com
mittee on the side. Judge Maddox not
only goes to the Committee on Labor,
but also Insular Affairs, both impor-
tant committees.
Representative Lewis is again a
member of the Committee on Banking
and Currency, for which he has pc
culiar fitness.
Representative Hardwick the baby
member" gets two very desirable COM
mittees upon which to cut his legis-
lative rehabilitation of President and
Vice President, and Revision of the
Laws. AS next year is presidential
year, the committee may have more
than ordinary prominence and impor-
lance.
Experience has taught the members
of the delegation the Importance of
united and harmonious action on all
subjects which are of interest to the
state, and the result is Georgia has
the strongest and most evenly bal
anced Democratic delegation in Con-
