TWINS CELEBRATE
18th BIRTHDAY
Two Brothers, Straight as Pines, Give
Their Friends Shore Dinner

BRIDGEPO Conn, July 13.-Ju-
Illus H. and Junius N. Benham, proba
bly, the oldest twins in the United
States, celebrated yesterday the
eightyseventh anniversary of their
birth with a shore dinner which they
gave to several of their friends at a
summer resort near this city. The
party was a merry one, but not the
least active of those present We're the
two hale old men, who look alike,
dress alike, speak alike, and, some of
their friends say, think alike.
The Benhams were born on July s,
1917, in Middlebury, Conn. Both are
hearty and actively attend to the care
of their extensive property in this city
and vicinity. Both are more than six
feet tall, stand very straight, and, ex-
boards, there is nothing about them
to indicate how many years they have
lived.
Having learned the building trade in
this city, the brothers came here in
April, 1884. They built many of
Bridgeport's important structures, In
Guiding three churches, the largest of
which, the South Congregational
church, stands directly opposite their
Office Several business blocks in
Stamford and New London still stand
as records of their youthful energy.
They come of a long-lived family.
Their grandfather lived to be ninety
four years old, their father, Trueman
Benham. was Lightweight. and their
mother ninety-Six when death called
them, and their only brother died at
temperance in all things and hard
work is the cause ascribed by the
brothers for their present excellent
health and ripe old age.

slderably disconnected by the action

TWENTY.ONE LIVES
ARE CRUSHED OUT

wood there is sharp curve, and as
the picnic train tore around this on
the south bound track a freight train
was backing from the south-bound to
the north-bound track. 1t was partly
on both tracks, and no train could
have passed it in either direction. The
bend is so sharp that the engineer of
the picnic train had no chance to see
the freight before he was upon 1t.
Go Clear Through Freight
1t was too late to do anything but
set the air brakes, but before they
could take effect the passenger train
smashed into the freight at full speed.
The engine and baggage car of the
passenger train went clear through the
freight and were piled up in heap of
wreckage on the further side of the
switch on which the freight was cross
ing from one track to the other. The
first coach Of the picnic train plunged
straight into the wreckage and buried
itself in a mass of kindling wood un-
der the demolished baggage car.
Nearly all of the passengers in the
first coach were caught beneath the
mass Of debris, and it was here that
the loss Of life occurred. The people in
the rear coaches were hurled from
their seats and many Of them were
badly shaken up and bruised, but all of
the serious casualties occurred in the
first car. The uninjured passengers
and the trainmen at once fastened to
the relief of those who were pinned
down under the wreckage who were
shrieking for aid.
G,.e,k fro -
came from Chicago Heights and car
ried six physicians. A short time after
ward a second train arrived from
Glenwood bringing additional physi-
clans and nurses. 1t was nearly 10
o'clock when the last of the wounded
had been taken from the wreckage,
half an hour later than that time when
the temporary dressing had been ap-
piled to the last wound, and the train
carrying its woeful burden started for
the city. 1t was stopped at Sixty-frst
street and the dead taken to under
taking establishments IN the suburb
of Englewood, while the injured were
hurried to Englewood hospital.
Engineer Explains
The freight train which caused the
wreck was in charge Of Engineer
James Hoxsie. In explanation of the
accident the engineer and crew of the
freight train say their train, which was
northbound, parted at Chicago Heights,
and the break was not noticed until the
train was near Glenwood. The engi-
neer noticed that the excursion train
was coming, but thought it was on the
northbound track and switched the
train onto the southbound track to
keep out of it's way, when it came on
the southbound track.

sian correspondent in the field, de-
scribing the fighting which preceded
the capture of Kai-chou, says that

During the fight the Russians took
prisoner a japanese arrayed in Chi

It is the belief of the correspondent

MISSION NEEDS OF
WEALTHY CHILDREN
Religious Education of Upper Glasses
Said to BE Seriously Neglected

LONDON, July 13.-Religious educa-.
ton of children of the upper classes is
in such a parlous state that it has been
deemed necessary by Lord Hugh Cecil
and others to set on foot mission for
them.
At meeting held for the purpose in
Church House, Westminster, the other
afternoon Lord Hugh Cecil, who pre-
sided, said it was notorious that chill
dren of the upper classes had little or
no Biblical knowledge. No doubt this
was due to the fact that they mostly
were educated at boarding schools. As
illustrating his point Lord Hugh said
that in making speeches Biblical al
fusion which was sat once understood
by a working class audience fell on
deaf ears when addressed to an audi
ence of higher social rank.
Even the house of commons, which
he believed was composed of highly
educated men. compared badly in this
respect with an audience of working
men.

FRENCH THINK THE
HEIR IS MYTHICAL
Paris Capitalist Leaves Wealth to an
American and Will Is Contested


PARIS, July IA remarkable case
in which George A. Church, of Nayatt
Point r.. l., is the central figure is
being heard by the tribunal OF. the
Seine. Poulet, Partisan capitalist,
disappeared fourteen years ago, during
voyage around the world. He left
100000 in French bonds. After wait
ing the statutory period his heirs ask
ed for a division of the estate. There
after will was filed, dated at Sim
Than Glaia, Island of Java, in which
M. Poulet gave his entire estate to Mr..
Church.
Counsel for the heirs sought to ere
ate the impression that this was ar
other case of mythical Crawfords, as
in the Humbert case, while counsel for
Mr.. Church maintained that his client
actually exists, being a retired New
England merchant who recently sailed
from New York for Europe. There
upon the court asked that Mr.. Church
be presented to the court. and adj
journed the case until Friday to per-
nit the presentation or the production
of other proof of his identity. The
genuineness of the large legacy APP
pears unquestionable. but the case is
bitterly contested mainly because of
suspicious growing out of the fictitious
American heirs in the Humbert case.
The will of M. Poulet is dated JAM
20, 1873, ana describes Mr.. Church as
then living at Nayatt Point, r. I. 1t
is stated Mr.. Church is now on his
way from Hamburg to Bayonne and
expected to be presented in court on
Monday.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 10
George A. Church was for many years
resident of Nayatt Point, near this
! city. He belongs to an old Rhode
Island family and is nearly sixty years
of age.
For several years he has spent his
time In European travel, and during
one of his trips made the acquaintance
of Poulet. The two became intimate
friends and about fourteen years ago
the Partisan visited Mr.. Church at his
Nayatt Point home. It was shortly
after this that Mr.. Poulet started on
his trip around the world, during which
he died at Buenos Ayres. For several
years past Mr.. Church has resided in
New York city. He is said to have
sailed for Europe few days ago.

something interesting to say about APP
pendicitis to the Academic de Mede-
cine this week.
He said grip was the original
source of appendicitis, which, as a Sc
quel to grip, is more frequent accord
ing as meat forms the larger proper
ton of ones diet. DR.. Championniere
is convinced that even where grip has
been prevalent appendicitis can be
prevented with certainty by the adop-
ton of diet largely vegetarian and

Duck in Deadly Form

A short time ago the death was an
nounced Of Comte Leon de Laubespin
from the effects of eating a dish of
duck a la Rouennaise. Duck la Rou-
ennaise Is considered very deadly dur
ing the hot season for the following
reasons: In order to prepare the dish
according to the recognized rules, the
duck must be killed by suffocation. It
happens. therefore, that the blood CO.
agulates in the body Of the bird in
such manner that no amount of
cooking suffices to sterilize it. In hot,
stormy weather. such as we have had
lately, this coagulated blood would de-
compose and contain sufficient poison
to Kill anyone eating of the dish. The
moral of the Story would appear to be:
Don't have your ducks cooked a la
uennaise.-Paris-M
