MEET DEATH IN A
STREET CAR WRECK
Three Are Killed Instantly and
Many Are Injured.
THE CAR RAN OFF THE TRACK
The First Three Named Were Killed
Outright and Their Bodies HOr-

Barbara People.

Santa Barbara, Cal, April ia
street car loaded with passengers re-
turning to town from the Old Mission
ran off the track at the intersection
of Garden and Mission streets, Sunday,
and five deaths have resulted. All OF
the dead were Santa Barbara people.
Over twenty of the passengers were
injured, many Of them being fright
fully mangled. Over half of the in
jured had bones broken about the
body, and not a few of them suffered
serious fractures of the skull. A list
of the dead and most seriously injured
follows:

The first three named were killed
outright and their bodies horribly
crushed.
Among the injured, none of whom II
is believed will die, was Mrs. Julius
Kruttscnmitt, wife of the traffic direc'
tor and vice-president of the Southern
Pacific railway, who was slightly hurt;
DR.. Rosa ERghert, of Chicago; Mrs
Early, an eastern woman, address I'm.
known, and Edmond Quinn, of Kansas
City.
The accident was due to defect
in the brake apparatus, as was re.
vealed upon an inspection of the cal
after the accident. While the real
brakes were tightly set against the
wheels, the forward brakes were of nc
service, because of the breaking of a
part of the gearing. The motorman
discovered that something was wrong
with the car several blocks above the
point where the accident occurred, and
endeavored to set the brakes, but failed
to check the speed of the car At the
intersection of Garden and Mission
streets there is very abrupt curve,
and the car was moving at it's highest
speed down a five per cent. grade. The
car was thrown from the track and
on it's side, and the passengers were
scattered in all directions. One Sec
tion of the car was smashed into
splinters. Those who were instantly
killed and many who were most Sc
riously injured were standing on the
guard rail on the side of the car as II
crashed into the ditch.

Cocaine. the DESTROYER.

There is no longer any doubt as to
the baneful effect of cocaine among
the negroes of Mississippi. A num-
Der of the ablest edited and most in
fiuential papers in the State have re.
Gently discussed at length the grow
ing mania for the drug and the car
nival of crime that necessarily follows
in its wake.
In the delta section, where the ne
gro is found in the greatest numbers,
the stuff is sold at almost every coun-
try store. Managers on the planta-
lions assert that more than half of
them are now addicted to the use of
the drug and that some of them alb
soIiltely refuse to work without their
dope" The practice of using cocaine
began among the deck hands on the
steamboats,, who used it as a stimu-
liant instead of whisky A steamboat
man, who has noted carefully the eff
fects of it's use, asserts that it's ef-
feet is much quicker and more lasting
than that produced by whisky. A
drunk produced by cocaine costs very
little and it transforms it's victim into
a veritabIe daredevil, who seems to
under the influence of the drug.
1t is charged that great many OF
the crimes recently committed by ne
groes are directly traceable to cocaine.
1t is certain that negro laborers are
each year becoming more indolent and
impudent, hence it is probable that
some steps will be taken to prevent
the sale of the drug in Mississippi.

The Good Roads Movement.

Discussing the question of good dirt
roads, the old reliable Aberdeen Elk

deductions:
I'VE may hold all the good roads
conventions that time will admit of,
but the cause in the mud-locked rural
districts will never advance a peg I'M
til the people to be Immediately bene-
fitted take the matter seriously in
hand.
IF the boards of supervisors of the
several counties demonstrate their
nerve and independence, and take de-
termined action in their behalf, the
problem will soon be solved. and those
who most vigorously protest against
robust measures Id the initiative, will
be among the first and most ardent to
applaud favorable results.
OF the more than thirty counties Of
the State that have adopted the con
tract system of working the county
roads, only one has returned to the old
plan of warning hands" and working
them under the overseer, who gets no
compensation and consequently takes
very little interest in the work.
