any remedy. The governor OF Geor.

Lao Yang does not afford sufflcien,

PEACE CONGRESS TO BE CALLED
BY PRESIDENT.
President Roosevelt to Bring Matter
TO Attention Of Nations.

President Roosevelt's announcement
on Saturday to the delegates of the In.
terparliamentary union that at an
early date he would invite the nations
of the world to send delegates to a
second peace conference whose work
should be supplemental to that of the
conference at The Hague Is regarded
as a historic advance toward the ad-
justment of international difficulties
through the medium of arbitration.
Quite naturally the question arose
as to how soon the president might
call the conference. He did not indi-
cate, in his address, the probable time
of his issuance of the call, but it can
be stated that he will not await the
conclusion of peace between Japan
and Russia, both signatories to The
Hague convention, before issuing his
call.
II is his present intention, in about
six weeks, to bring the matter to the
attention of the nations of the world,
with view to asCertaining their de-
sires as to the time and place of hold
ing the second conference. These pre-
liminary inquiries will be made
through the department OF state. AS
soon thereafter as the replies received
shall warrant, the president will issue
his formal call for the conference,
which probably will be early in the
coming year.

Besides Those Killed, One Hundred
and Twenty Persons Were ~
Jured, Many Of Whom May

guard known to a modern railroad,
two trains on the Southern railway
carrying heavy lists of passengers
came together in a frlghtful hend-end
collision near Hodges, Tenn, Saturday.
sending fifty.four people to death and
injuring 100, several of whom will prob
ably die. Some of the bodies have not
yet been recovered, and many remain
unidentified.
This appalling loss of life and main.
ing Of the living resulted apparently
from the disregarding of orders given
to the two trains to meet at a station
which has for long time been their
regular meeting point.
Both engines and the major portion
OF both trains were demolished, and
why the orders were disregarded or
mislnterpreted will probably never be
known ,as the engineers Of the two
trains were crushed, their bodies re-
naming for hours under the wreckage
of their locomotives.
The collision was between east
bound passenger No. IL and west
bound passenger No. Is from Bristol.
No. IL was a heavy train, carrying
three Pullmans, two day coaches and
mail and baggage car. No. 10 was q
light local train. The greatest loss Of
life occurred in the eastbound train.
while in the westbound train only the
sngine crew was killed.
Congressman Henry r. Gibson, from
She Second Congry ssional district OF
Tennessee, was passenger in day
coach on the eastbound train. He and
another man, whose name Is not
known, were the only persons to
escape alive from the demolished car.
