Hot Springs. Ark, May 14-The south bound passenger train on the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, which left here at o'clock this morning jumped the track on a fifteen-foot embankment about a mile east of this city today, wrecling all of the cars except the Pull man sleeper, and carrying an iron bridge down into the Gulpha creek. One man was killed and at least twenty other per- sons were injured, one fatally and sey- eral others seriously.

 OtNtIdl otlc6dltS lp tllC oSaNC NNiftiA- tion of the Junior Order of American Me- chanics were passengers, and many of them sustained injuries.
 Engineer Ryan, who is in a critical condition, stated tonight that the wreck was caused by the tender jumping the track on the approach to the iron bridge. Two coaches followed the tender and in a careening position crashed into the bridge, tearing 1t from its abuttments. All the coaches, together with the bag gage, were precipitated into the stream below The Pullman sleeper did not leave the track.
 Two physicians were aboard and ad- ministered to the needs of the injured, who were later brought to Hot Springs.
 It is said the accident was caused by the recent heavy rains having loosened the embankment, causing the rails to spread and permit the tender to jump the track.

Says It's Too Late for CONfer-
 ence With Strikers
WILL SEE THEM AT MOBILE
Committee Wires Him That Mistake Has Been Made and They Think Settlement of the M. & o.
 Strike Will Be Easy

Jackson Tenn, May 14-The committee appointed by the Commercial club to con- for with General Manager Clark Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, made an inves- tigation today and wired MT. Clark at Mobile stating that they believed that mistake had occurred and that if con- ference could be held an agreement would result whereby the men would return to work
 MT. Clark, In answer, stated that he was certain that the committee had done it's work not knowing that he had at tempted to get conference on May 3, but that the men stated to him that unless he would come to St. Louis on May for a conference they would call strike. It was impossible for him to be there on that date and they acted independent Of any suggestion from him.
 MT Clark also stated that 1t was now too late for him to hold a conference with the strikers; that several hundred men were employed to take their places and he would not come to Jackson, but If he had received the message sooner and be- fore he employed the new men he would have gladly come here. He invited the leading officers of the strikers to meet him yet in conference at Mobile, and of- fered as many men as desired to return to work their old places unless they had already been filled.
 Fifteen United States marshals have been added to the force to guard Mobile and Ohio property in Jackson.

At the office of the company it was said that there was considerable non- perishable freight In the yards awaiting transportation. There were crews to take trains out, the officials said but 1t was undesirable to have too many trains on the line at one time in charge of men un- familiar with the road.

ss,25o Bales Now Visible.

The total amount of cotton which is now available for delivery on May contracts Is S9, 250 bales, which has a market value at the current price of about $5S bale. or equivalent to total valuation of near ly $5, 200 900. This stock shows an increase of over 5000 bales from Tuesday and 10000 since last Saturday, and compares with 32, 900 bales on April 15. The total amount of cotton now here of all kinds by running count Is 10000 bales, against 5s,O0O on April 15.
 More cotton is. being brought here by those who had sold the May, the option short either as hedges against transac- tions In spot cotton or in differences be- tween this market and Liverpool. who had intended to make good their con- tracts to the bull clique rather than go into the pit and effect a settlement by buying the cotton back. Some of those who were short even bought some cot ton back from Liverpool, and it Is under- stood several larger lots have been sent on here from points In New England, secured from the mill men and dealers there. At the present market price about s5.O000O0 worth of actual cotton will thus change hands here during the closing deal in this May option.

Warning From Liverpool.

The Liverpool reports gave warning that the day would be a lively onF as sales Of spot cotton there reached full dollar bale higher than yesterday. Early cables stated that some of the foreign short interests were in the market taking all the cotton offered at the highes prices of a decade.

 "The market will only stop advancing when cotton gives out. It is getting very scarce now.'
 Liverpool stocks are smaller than for great many years and the consumption of American cotton Is at record figures. The market started with rush with this news from Liverpool, orders coming main ly from commission houses One firm had traded in 50000 bales before midday.

JULY COTTON
 JUMPS ID 11C Another Wild Scene on Floor of
 New York Exchange HIGHEST PRICE IN 13 YEARS Message to Spot Dealer Says the Mar ket Will Only Stop Advancing When Cotton Gives Out and
 It Is Getting Scarce.
HIGHEST PRICE IN 13 YEARS

New York. May 14.-Another new rec ord for the season was established in the cotton market today; in fact many Of the older members agreed that 1t was doubtful if any session in the entire his tory of the exchange compared with to- days. The big feature of the day was the price made by July in the last half hour of trading, of II cents. In the same time August sold at 10.73, May made a new record of 11.42, and spot cotton was quoted at Il .6O These prices were the highest in twelve or thirteen years and added to this the transactions were of enormous volume.
 At times the scene on the floor was one of the greatest disorder, ana the rush Of the covering demand threw the pit into a demoralized condition. At the opening of the market trading was by far the most active of the season, and on the up- ward rush May sold at 11.4O, July at 1O.99 and August at 10.67-1all new records.
