WHERE DID CLEMENTS GO?
Conductor Of Freight Train in Sun.
days Chicago Great Western
Wreck Disappears.

Edward E. Clements, the conductor of
the freight train which collided with the
passenger train on the Chicago Great
Western, near Vlasaty, Mimi, Sunday
morning, has not been seen since a few
seconds after the wreck. He was in the
caboose when the crash came and made
his way to the engines where the dead
and injured were lying about. my God
this is AWFUL he exclaimed and, turning,
disappeared around the end of the train.
Since then no one has seen him.
Before making a statement as to the
cause Of the wreck, the Great Western Of
fcials desire to interview Clements, as it
is thought that he and his engineer, who
was killed, misunderstood the orders and
thought both sections of the passenger
train were late instead of the second only.
Clements lives at 121 wabasha street S,
st. Paul, and his family Is greatly worried
over his disappearance. Mrs. Clements
thinks, and in this she is joined by the
railway officials, that Clements mind was
unbalanced by the accident and that he
fled, fearing arrest.
The injured are all doing nicely and doc
tors say all will recover except E. j.
Hinckley, the fireman on the passenger
train. The physicians think the chances
are against him.

Saves Two Men From
Drowning.
Their Boat Had Upset and They
Were About to
Sink.

BY OPPORTUNITY appearing upon the
scene, L. Metzger, of the s. Jacobs Jew

lives of two young men whose boat was
overturned in Lake Minnetonka last
night. The young men were nearly ex-
hausted and were about sinking for the
last time when they We're picked up.
The young men, whose names Mr..
Metzger did not secure, were rowing
from Excelsior to Hotel st. Louis. About
a mile off the shore at Fairview, they
attempted to exchange seats in the boat.
The boat rocked once or twice and then
overturned, throwing the men into the
water. One Of them could swim but the
other could not. They tried to hold to
the bottom Of the boat but as no hand
hold was afforded. they slipped off.
Mr.. Metzger, with his family and sew
eral friends, In his gasolene launch Stella,
were bound for the Tonka Bay hotel when
the skipper saw the men in the water.
Putting on a full speed he fastened
alongside of the overturned boat and
threw life preserver to one of the men.
The man clutched to the buoy but not
knowing how to it swung under. An
other life preserver was thrown and he
supported himself upon the two until
another launch came up and took him in.
Meantime a rope had been passed to
the other man and he was pulled aboard
the Metzger boat. No sooner were the
each. thinking the other had been
drowned, tried to jump back into the
water. Both were taken ashore, while
Mr.. Metzger continued on his way to the
hotel
In the excitement Of rescuing the men,
Mrs. Metzger tainted, but two other ladies
in the launch remained cool.

HUNG ALL In BLACK
Local Catholic Churches Draped
While Mass Is Said for
the Pope.
The Sombre semblance Of Coffin
Stands Before the
Sanctuary.

For the second time in the thirty years
of its history, the Church Of the immac-
ulate Conception, Third avenue N and
Third street, was draped in black this
morning at special memorial service for
the late pope. Twenty five years ago
black was displayed in memory of Plus TX.
Black cloth above and depending on
each side framed with melancholy this
morning the gold and glow Of the high
altar At the entrance Of the sanctuary
a figurative catafalque, coffin shaped,
supported a black velvet pail. The COL
umns of the church, draped in black from
floor to ceiling, were festooned at the
center with bands Of white and yellow
the papal colors.
The church was crowded at 10 o'clock,
when the special solemn requiem mass
ordered by Archbishop Ireland began in
the sixteen Catholic churches of Mime
apolis.
AS Solemn mass, the service gained
additional dignity in the presence of a
deacon and subdeacon. Father Cullen,
pastor of the church, was celebrant;
dy, subdeacon. To designate a requiem"
mass, sung for the dead, the celebrant
and his aides were vested in black not
IN white, as on a saints day; nor in red,
as for a martyr; nor in purple as in ...e
pen.tential seasons.
And the celebrant, standing at the epis-
tie side Of the altar, prayed, 20, God,
by whose favor thy servants We're raised
to the dignity of bishops, and thus hon
ored with the apostolic functions, grant,
we beseech thee, that the soul of thy
servant Leo may be admitted to the eter-
nal fellowship of thy apostles in heaven"

THE CATHEDRAL MASS
An Impressive Ceremony With An Ad-
dress By the ArchbIshon ~

An Impressive Ceremony With An Ad-
dress BY the Archbishop.
In the history of the diocese of st. Paul
there has been no more impressive and
inspiring Ger EN- onial than the celebration
in the cathedral yesterday Of requiem
mass for Pope Leo XIII. The occasion
was made the more important by the ad-
dress of Archbishop Ireland.
The interior of the cathedral was draped
in black. broken onl yby the white and
yellow of the papacy A symbol Of the
pope's bier, draped in black and sur
mounted with a white cross, stood at the
foot of the chancel steps.
Solemn pontif1cal requiem mass was eel
ebrated by the archbishop, assisted by
thedral; Rev. A. Ouglin and Rev. J. Hell
del, deacons of honor; Rev. A. Ziskofsky,
master of ceremonies. Archbishop Ireland
wore an alb Of white and over it black
stole and chasuble, and all of the assist
ing priests wore black chasubles.
The musical portion of the mass was
chanted by a choir OF priests of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and neighboring cities, led
by Rev. F. x. Bajec, Of st. Francis parish
and including Rev. Messrs. Stelmes, How
ocka, Rynda, Printon, Polasek, Kobillin-
ski, Moran, lager, Dolphin, Sellislkar,

and Schirmera.
pressed wonder that one head could de-
velop and one tongue express the thoughts
which emanated from Leo in the settle
ment of the great questions with which
the government of the church had had to
wrestle. But while Leos intellect and ex-
ecutive ability caused admiration among
all who knew him, he was beloved of all
because of his spirit and desire for peace
on earth.
"Surely,'' said the archbishop, Sin so
far as the world can provide great and
good man, the earth has given us one in
Pope Leo. Before none did the nations
bow but to Leo. Emperors, kings and
presidents have saluted his name
t'Those who have passed within the sun
shine Of his eye will tell you that he loved
eVeryOne-Were he emperor or priest,
Catholic or non Catholic, Jew or Gentle
Leo's heart gave out it's sweetness and
wrapped him in halo" It was in re-
Spouse to this heart appeal of Leo's, de-
clared the speaker, that Brazil and the
other countries Of South America pro-
claimed freedom.

The young man then went to the door lead

it was decided that some one would surely
come to the room before the building was left

pickets were posted one at each door. Steps
along the corridor were listened for, but there
were none.
