No fewer than thirty persons were

proportion of those who travelled on
the fast passenger trains between the
two cities were even hurt.
Yet the average man buys an acci-

starts on a railway Journey of any

5 Where Tom O'Brien Died s
E2s..-~af.s-er-'-ar-..-qr 1r-fs

When Tom" O'Brien, ex-Chicagoan
and "gold-brick'' king, died in New
caledonia he was a very long way
from home. New Caledonia is in the
tropics, far down in the Pacific. The
nearest land of size is Australia,
which is 900 miles distant New Cal
edonia is known throughout the world
as great penal colony. France has
used 1t for storage purposes of this
kind since 1864 and especially since
the fall of the Paris commune, after
which it was made the place of exile
of thousands of Frenchmen who were
involved in the storms of that time.
Since then this Melanasian land has
become the jail of thousands of others
condemned by the laws of their coun-
try. The greater part of the white in
ha5itants therefore are interesting,
but not socially select The island
itself is described by George Griffith,
an English traveller, as paradise
The climate is delightful. the noun
famous scenery most beautiful.
New Caledonias soil is fertile and
its mountains full of treasures. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Griffith, when nature
made New Caledonia she set herself

greater or less quantities in that
island. A mining expert once went
over from Australia to make a survey
for the International Copper com
pany and afterward he made his re-
port in person to the board in London.
He knew as rnuch about mining as
anybody in the southern hemisphere,
but his language was that OF the bush.
A noble lord asked him OF he could
give any estimate of the amount of

in the central chain of mountains.
This was his answer: My lord. if
YOU were to take out all the - min
erals of these mountains the -
island would - well fall TO pieces
The report was taken as satisfactory"
Until 1858 New Caledonia was
sort of no-man's land. Then both
England and France decided to annex
it and orders came to two warships to
proceed thither at once. They started
the same day. The English captain
had heard of the reefs that surround
the island and he was cautious. The
Frenchman went ahead without re-
gard for the reefs. When the British
captain arrived he saw the tr.color

TRUNKS WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART
ARE BELIEVED TO CONTAIN REC ORD OF SECRET TRANSACTIONS OF THE BEEF TRUST-MoRE WITNESSES suBPoENAED.

Chicago. April 11.-An investigation by the federal grand jury which Is inquring into the working methods of the alleged beef trust of a much deeper nature and wider scope 1t is asserted, Is to result from the examination of the contents of the eight trunks taken yesterday from the safety vaults in the First National bank building.
 When these trunks were opened, it is expected that the secret transactions of the Aetna Trading company, q corpora tion through which the secret business Of the big packers was transacted was re- vealed to the jurors and as consequence many new witnesses will be subpoenaed. The trunks an contents have been i'm pounded on by an order by Judge San borne. so that no one by legal process can obtain possession of them. Among the names of the new witnesses subpoenaed today is said to be that of G. H. Godfrey, alleged secretary and treasurer or the Aetna Trading company, and R. H. Cow an, another official of the company. The initials R. II. c. appear on each of the eight trunks taken from the depository vaults, and it is believed they belong to Cowan. Godfrey and Cowan it Is assert ed, left Chicago the day the investigation by the jury began. They have been traced to Toronto, Canada. where it is said all trace of them was lost. Delevan Frazee, manager for the National Pack ing company. was one of the most im- portant witnesses before the Jury today. He was on the stand for nearly two hours, but refused to say what informa- ton he had given to the jurors. Another witness who testified today was J. A. Howard connected with New York hacking firm

VOTE BELIEVED
 TO BE FAVORABLE
THE GREATEST SECRECY IS MAIN TANNED AS TO DISPOSITION MADE OF PRoFFERED GIFT OF JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER.

Boston, April 1.-The prudential com mittee of the American board of com missloners for foreign missions met to- day and took action on the report Of subcommittee recommending the aceep- tanee of a gift of $100,00O from John D. Rockefeller. A vote was taken just prior to adjournment late this evening. and the result of the vote 1t was stated will be made public at noon tomorrow. In the meantime the committee is bound to secrecy, and it's members refuse to give an inkling of the decision reached.
 There Is good reason, however, to be- lieve that the report of the sub-com- mittee was accepted.
 The Congregationalist, the denomina- tional organ, will discuss the ethics of the acceptance of the Rockefeller gift at length in it's issue tomorrow, asking It's readers to consider what a situation would have been created if the pruden- tial committee had rejected Mir Rocke- feler's gift" either when it was first rendered or most recently. at the demand of the protestants.
 The decision of he committee is expect- tice. It Is understood that the pru- dental committee also discussed the fea- stability of recommending the installing of a judicial tribunal to pass upon volun- tary contributions.

Senator Hipp's Career.

Senator R. L. Hipp, known among his friends as Bob was type of energetic and ambitious young Alabamian. He was barely S2 years of age, but had by persis- tent effort and application won high place in his party and state. He was a member of the state Senate for four years and was looked upon as one of the bright est and most promising young men in that body As member of the Senate Mir Hipp made a splendid record. He served on several important committees and as chairman of the committee on edu- cation rendered the state some valuable service.
 Senator Hipp was born at Brooksville Bount county, on February 13, 1873, and was son of Lycurgus Hipp, who re- moved to Alabama from Georgia. He re- ceived his early training in the schools of Blount county and later entered Blountsville college. graduating from that institution in 1892 with a bachelor of arts degree. He attended Cumberland univer- sity at Lebanon Tenn. where he gradu ated with bachelor of law degree in 1899
 Mir. Hipp was admitted to the bar in 1900. and located at Cullman. Shortly af- forwards he became active in politics and was elected to the state Senate the same year. which position he occupied at the time of his death. He was Tor several years chairman of the county democratic executive committee of Cullman county.
 For the past few months had devoted himself entirely to his law practice, and had built up splendid reputation and a lucrative practice.
 Last summer MT. Hipp removed to Bir- mingham where he engaged in tine prac- tice of law for three or four months as the partner of Judge Zell Gaston. He de- cided. however, to return to Cullman and his success in his chosen profession was recognized by everyone.
