CAkS DtRAlLED
RAILROAD MEN CANNOT FIND
WHAT CAUSED ACCIDENT.

Two freight CARS were derailed on
the curve track leading to the depot,
at the local 10. yard offices this morn
ing. No cause for the derailment
could be learned as the cars did not
split the switch and there seems to
have been nothing the matter with
the trucss. The marks where the
wheels left the track could plainly be
seen ana the yard men csnnot under
stand what caused the ears 60 leave
the rails. One car was turned com
pletely over and the other left leaning
on one side. Ii required some little
time to right them as the wrecker was
out on the road and the yard crews
had to rig out temporary wreokine
outfit for the emergency.

LATE CASUALTIES
There is a Decrease for the
Quarter.
There Is an Increase for the Entire
Year.

The accident bulletin just issued by
tie interstate commerce commission
covers the railroad accidents in the
United States for the three months
ending June 80. aud also completes
the s.A,istios OF accidents for the fiscal
year hs compared with the preced
ing quarter, the accidents reported

age to cars, engines and roadways by
these accidents amounted to 81, 49,

Az compared with the preceding
year, the bulletin disoloses large in
crease IN the number Of casualties.
There were 1854 persons killed and
i5,9T' injured during the year. as
against 1919 killed and 80, injured
during the year preceding. This large
increase is partially explained by the
large increase in railroad traffic that
has taken place during the last year,
. and the fact that there were moro
men at risk. The number Of men en-
ployed in tram service June 80. 1908.
was - per cent greater than ON June
so. 1902. There is also . good explain
aticn Of the increase to be found in
the fact that the interstate commerce
commission has been persistent in its
insistenoe on full reports Of all acci.
dents from all railroads during the
past year, and therefore accidents are
much more fully reported at the pres.
emit time than they were in past years.

DUAL HOME WELCOME
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Two Committees Garry Out
Separate Programmes and
''Kids" Are Thick.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., June 27.-Pres-
ident Roosevelts home coming for the
summer was made the occasion of a
fete here. His reception was notable
for its enthusiastic cordiality and like
wise for its vigor The latter quality
was due to a slight factional difference
among the toWnSpeople, the result be-
ing that the president was accorded a
double reception. The Oyster Bay
Board of Trade, headed by j. Morgan
Griffin, had planned an elaborate dem
onstration, and Mayor Townsend had
arranged another Both were carried
out according to programmes, but, as
both were directed to the same end, the
friendly rivalry between the factions
resulted only in adding to the enthusi-
asm of the reception.
The president stepped from his car
at 3: As, and While the cannon doomed
and the people cheered he was escort
ed by the waiting committee to the
town hail. He went through lines of
school children, each waving a flag.
Business was suspended and the town
was decorated. Arrived at the hail.
President Roosevelt unveiled the war
trophy gun presented TO the people Of
Oyster Bay by the navy department.
Then he delivered an address to the
crowd of his friends and neighbors
massed in front OF the building. Among
his words were these:
Nov l am come home to you whom
l know so well. The older of you /
have known for some thirty years and
over. My children are now growing
up here just as [ grew up and I hope
they will do better in keeping out of
mischief When l get back here am
not the PRESIDENT am your old neigh
Dor and friend, and in welcoming all
of you, want to say 1 am particularly
pleased to see here the children. AS
you know, l believe in children, and I
am very glad1that the children of Oys-
ter Bay seem to be all right in quality
and also in quantity"
The president then greeted Mrs
Roosevelt and his children, who had
been in waiting for him. While he was
holding an informal reception in the
hall, the school children were drawn
up in front of the building, and, under
the leadership of the bands, sang the
original song of welcome to the presi-
dent. The president, to the delight Of
the children, requested them to repeat
the song. 1t was repeated with a vim.
Early in the afternoon Mrs. Roose-
welt had been assorted to the hall by
the children and a great procession of
residents, not only of Oyster Bay, but
OF all OF this part of Long Island. She
reviewed the procession from the steps
of the hall.
AT the conclusion of the ceremonies
at the hall, the president and his fam
lily entered carriages, under the escort
or the committees, and drove to their
home at Sycamore hill.

JUNE THIS YEAR
is A DRY MONTH
Nearly a Drought Record in
Contrast to Mays Moist

June this year has been in marked
contrast to the month of May, for dur
ing last month the record for rainfall
was nearly broken, and it seems that
the record for drought will be nearly
approached this month.
During the twenty-seven days al
ready elapsed the total precipitation
has been only 20, while the average
for the month of June during the past
thirty-tWo years has been 3.S3. The
least precipitation during the month
was in 1894. when the highest figure
reached was IA.
Though there was an indication of
rain yesterday, all that materialized
was mere sprinkle late in the after
noon and a shower at midnight The
prediction for today being cloudy, it
seems that a rain storm is approach
ing. The atmosphere during the past
few days has been growing heavy,
sure indication of a decided change.

WALDFCK.ROUSSEAU
OPPOSES SUCCESSOR
Former French Premier Urges
More Moderation Toward
Catholics.

PARIS. June 27.-In the senate to-
day the delegates on the government
project requiring communes to build
schools to replace those of the religious
congregations brought out a divergen-
cy of views from Premier Combes and
former Premier Waldeck- Rousseau,
the latter re-entering the debates for
the first time in months. Mr. Combes
supported the law, and Rousseau, who
followed, pointed out the enormous
cost involved in the project, nearly
SIS, 000, 900, and urged caution, lest the
benefits of the law of 1901 be checked.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau's opposition
to the policy Of his successor as presi-
dent Of the council created a distinct
sensation. His speech emphasized the
divergence of opinions of the present
and former president, and, as if to give
approval to - M. Waldeck- Rousseau's
view. the senate voted in support of
his contention. This, following the
narrow government majority in the
chamber yesterday, led to much ex-
cited comment regarding the perma-
nency of the CombeS cabinet The
president Of the council, in his speech,
gave no evidence of any intention to
retire but stated that a group of SEN
ators did not intend to permit minor
reverses to precipitate a cabinet crisis.
Only few days remain to M. Combes
this session to secure the passage of
the balance of the measures making up
the general policy of the government
In connection with the disbandino of
the congregations, three important
measures are still before the senate:
First, providing for the non-author-
ization Of female orders; second, for
bidding former members of congre-
cations to teach in three years, and,
third, providing that lay schools shall
take the place Of those under control
of the congregations which have been
closed. The last mentioned was the
subject of todays debate.
The premier. in his speech, support
ed strongly the necessity for lay
schools and denied the claims that the
establishment of such schools would
involve enormous cost. He complained
that whenever it was sought to carry
out the school law the opposition or
gained disorder and riots. and he final
ly declared himself strong in tbs con-
fdence that the country and the law
were behind him.
