CAVE HIS GRACE
BAD SHAKING Up
Archbishop of Canterbury in a Wreck
in Massachusetts,.
ESCAPED WITH A SHAKING UP
His Special CoIlided with a De-
tached Engine, DemOIishing the
Latter-PierpOnt Morgan
Was on Board.

East Brookfeld, Mass, Sept. 24.-A
special train conveying the archbishop
of Canterbury from Bar Harbor, Me-
to Washington was wrecked on the
Boston & Albany division Of the New
York Central railroad near the station
here The archbishop was not injured,
although considerably shaken up. j.
Pierpont Morgan, of New York, who
was also on the train accompanying
the archbishop, was shaken up but not
hurt.
The special, running at the rate of
60 miles an hour, was just passing the
station when a detached locomotive,
which had been drawing train on tbs
North Brookfield branch, ran onto the
main line for some reason at present
unexplained.
Too Late to stop.
The engineer of the special sighted
a danger signal, but owing to the high
speed of the train and the slippery con-
dition Of the rails, due to the mist OF
early morning, he found it impossible
TO do more than slightly reduce the
speed Of his locomotive. The engineer
of the branch engine heard the onrush
of the special, but he had not time to
move out Of the way. The archbish-
ops train struck the North Brookfield
engine with terrific crash and demol-
ished it. The other locomotive was
thrown from the rails and landed
across the eastbound track near the
wreck of. the North Brookfield engine.
The cars did not leave the track.
Concern For the ArchbishOP.
Immediately it was realized that the
lives of the archbishop and Mrs. Dav-
idson, as we'll as Of others attending
them had been imperi1ed, and first in
quiries were for them. Rev. J. Eli
son, the archbishop's secretary, an
swered for those in the archbishop's
private car, saying that no one was in
jured. With the archbishop, besides
Mrs. Davidson and Mr.. Morgan, were
Rev. Hyla Holden and Rev. j. Ellison,
and attendants. 1t was rumored that
a maid was hurt, but her injuries
were not serious. Traffic on the road
was blocked for some time.
Some Train Hands Hurt.
Several of the train hands were
slightly injured. So great was the
speed Of the special that the solitary
engine was carried along 100 yards be-
fore it was dropped on the eastbound
rails. The tracks were considerably
damaged.
The archbishop's special train with
4 new engine later resumed its trip to

To Tax Soft Drinks.

Active steps are being taken by
the United States revenue officials
throughout Middle Tennessee to
compel the payment of the privilege
tax for retailing spirituous drinks.
Since the Adams law has been eff

various kinds of "soft drinks" have
been placed on sale, and the revenue
department has held that some of
these come within the statute re-
quiring the payment of a privilege
