SANTA FE TRAIN
CRASHES INTO TROLLEY
Collision in Eastern Chicago in Which
One Man was Killed and Ten
Persons were Injured.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. IA Santa
Fe train from Chicago crashed into
trolley car at Fifteenth Street at the
belt line crossing in the eastern end
of the city today. One person was
killed and ten injured, one seriously
The accident was caused by the bars
being up. Harry Black, the flagman,
who was hurt, says that he was sick
and unable to bring the bars into posi-
ton. The engine caught the car
square in the center and pushed it
eighty feet off the road bed, turning
the car over and partially demolishing
it, J. L. Morris, of Pleasant Hill, Mo-,
who was standing beside the track,
was caught in the debris and so badly
hurt that he died in twenty minutes

Thornton paid for all purposes in 1895

Thornton paid for all purposes in 1895
or 1896.
The salaries and miscellaneous ex-
penses in 1908, under Otero, were $133,-
500, but the same items under Thorn
ton, in 1895, reached total of $127,-
712, although the number of officials,
boards and other sources of expense
were much smaller than today. If to
Thorntons actual payments there be
added the unpaid bills he left to his
successor it will be found that his an
nual expenditures amounted to about
$3500O0. AS indicated above, Thorn
ton paid no bonded debt; next to moth
ing to Territorial institutions, and, be-
sides, left enormous deficits. 1t would
be interesting if some Democratic
newspaper or speaker could come for
ward and explain what was done with
that money.

Warning to Foreign Vessels.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 7.-Ameri-
can Minister Griscom at Toxic has no.
titled the state department that the
commander-in-chief of the Japanese
forces in Manchuria, deems it neces-
sary that all foreign war vessels
should not enter the Yingtow harbor or

A Question Of international Law.
st. Petersburg, Aug. Russia has
communicated to the United States the
decision of the Vladivostock prize
court on August 4th in the case of the
Portland and the Asiatic line steamer
Arabia, captured by the vladivostock
squadron on July 22d, confiscating such
part of the cargo as was consigned to
Japanese ports. The foreign Office Is
carefully considering the objections
raised abroad in regard to the Rus
SLAMS list of contraband, but no de-
cision has been reached. From what
the correspondent of the Associated
Press can gather while the desire is
to avoid irritating the neutral powers
as much as possible in regard to the
Russian declaration on the subject of
food stuffs, it is pointed out that when
the list was published no power OBJ
jected. The Russian position as stated
to the Associated Press by an official
who speaks by authority, is as follows:
FOOD Stuff consigned to any enemy's
port in sufficient quantity to create
the presumption that it is intended
for the use of the governments mill
tary or naval forces, is prima facie
contraband and is sufficient to warrant
holding it for decision of the prize
court. Even if consigned to private
firms, the burden of proof that it is
not the intention of the government to
use it, rests upon the consigner and
consignee. The consignment of food
stuffs in mixed cargoes will be consid-
cred presumptively to be regular trade
shipments and will not be seized as
contraband."

Democratic administration will be in

on principal and interest of the public
debt. Thornton paid none of the prin-
cipal, borrowed $4,000 from the banks
to help pay interest and left interest
unpaid amounting to $55,243. Otero
paid to Territorial, educational and
charitable institutions $219,019 in
1908, while Thornton in 1896, paid for
the same purposes only $41,626. In
fact, Otero paid as much toward edu.

AS the records show, this bill became

the last day of the session, and Otero
at once advised the treasurer that he
should refuse to transfer the funds
which the bill attempted to confiscate.
Finding that the administration could
not be bullied into giving up the mon
ey, the Democrat mentioned above un-
dertook to work his scheme through
the courts, but there he again met
with his deserts as Judge McFie, after
full hearing of the case, refused to
order the transfer, which would have

DEATH IMPOSED ON ALL
THE CAR-bARN BANDITS
Delay in Reaching Verdict Was
Caused by Consideration of

UNMOVED BY SENTENCE

CHICAGO, March 12-Hanging for all
was the verdict of the jury to-day in the
first murder case against the so-called car
barn bandits" Harvey Van Dyne Peter
Niedermeier and Gustav Marx, who at
tained notoriety by a desperate all-day
battle that started in a "dug-out'' near
Liverpool, Ind, where the trio had taken
refuge after series of remarkable crimes
including the murder of two employees of
the Chicago City Railway at one of the
company's barns in this city. the motive in
each instance being robbery Emil Roeski,
and participated in many other crimes, is
TO be tried separately, not having been
implicated directly in the particular MUIR
der for which his assistants were first ar
raigned.
The verdict of the jury was delayed
from yesterday afternoon until to-day on
account of a temporary division of opinion
the defendants A confession on the part
OF Marx led TO the discovery of the hiding
place of the other bandits. Marx entered
a plea of guilty and begged for mercy.
while the other bandits attempted TO brazen
out plea OF innocence. Epilepsy, the re-
suit of heredity. was also pleaded in the
case of Van Dyne-
Contrary 10 the general belief it was Van

MAUD HANLy ATTACKED
AND THROWN INTO CANAL
Her Assailant, doc" Braxton,
Tried to Prevent Her Rescue
by Two Men.
BOTH PERSONS COLORED

Doc Braxton, negro we'll known to
the police, made a desperate attempt to
murder Mrs. Maud Hanly about 10 o'clock
last night near the Pratt-street bridge over
the canal. Braxton struck the woman in
the head with a club, dazing her and cut
ting two gashes in her head. While the
woman was dazed and unable 20 resist he
threw her into the canal and fought des-
perately to prevent help reaching her.
William Edwards and William Hopkins
heard the woman's screams for help and
ran down the canal bank. Braxton at
tempted to fight them off when Hopkins
drew a revolver and shot at him three
times. Braxton fed north on the canal
bank and while Bicyclemen Morgan and
Samuels searched the surrounding territory
for him. made good his escape.
The Hanly woman is a negress living in
the rear of 412 Toledo street. She made an
gagement with Braxton to meet him at
st. Clair ard West streets last night Brax-
ton was waiting for the woman and the
couple walked east to the canal bank. The
woman wos unprepared for the assault and
was powerless to resist the man after the

NASHVILLE, Ind. March IA building
in Unionville, across the Monroe county
line belonging to DIR. Joseph Fritch. of
that place, was destroyed by fire last mid
night. presumably because the doctor
rented il TO a man from Bloomington for
saloon purposes. The entire town turned
out TO see the fire. but no effort was made
to stay the progress of the flames. The
amount of loss is not known.
Some time ago a Bloomington man. whose
name is not known here, went to Unionville
and rented the building, announcing his in
tention of selling liquor therein. Objections
were made by the temperance people, and
he was warned that a saloon would not be
countenanced. He put in the necessary fix
lures. however. and on Friday told num-
ber of persons that he would put in a stock
of "wet goods" to-day.
When he arrived this morning he found
the building had been destroyed with his
fixtures, and he was warned 70 leave town
with his liquors. He proceeded TO Need
more, in Brown county. and was warned
away from there. IL is presumed he re-
turned to Bloomington, as he drove in that
direction.
