Az soon a. the train pulls up, dozen
travellers, Of whom I am one, get out on
to the track. By the light Of the lantern
Il II easy to see that the breakage ID
not due to malevolence. But it II none
the less true that the two last vans, the
uiortuary van and the rear van occupied
BY the goods guard, are missing. How
tar are they? Nobody knows.
You should have heard the shouts Of
the Persian guards engaged In escorting
the remains Of Yen Leu, for which they
were responsiblei The travellers in their
van, like themselves, had not noticed
when the coupling broke. 1t might be
m hour, two hours, since the accident.
What ought to be done was clear
enough. The train must be run back
ward and pick up the lost vans.
Nothing could be more simple. But
and this surprised me-the behavior OF
my lord Faruskiar seemed very strange.
He insisted In the most pressing manner
that not a moment should be lost. He
spoke to Popof, to the driver, to the
stoker, and for the first time I discov-
cred that he spoke Russian remarkably
well.
The train began to run back a. soon
a. we had taken our places. The Ger
man baron attempted to complain, but
Faruskiar gave him such look that
he did not care to get another, and stow
Cd himself away In the corner.
Dawn appeared in the east when the
two wagons were found a kilometer of,
and tho train gently slowed up to them
after an hours run.
Faruskiar and Ghangir went to help In
coupling ON the vans. which was done
a. firmly as possible. Major Noltits and
/ noticed that they exchanged a few
words with the other Mongols. After
all, there was nothing astonishing in
that, for they were countrymen Of theirs.
We resume our seats in the train, and
the engineer tries to make up for lost
time.
Nevertheless, the train does not arrive
at Kachgar without long delay, and 1t
b half past four In the morning when
we enter the capital Of Chinese Turkes-
tan.

Jersey City, N. j., Jan. IL. - DR..
Charles f. Putnam, one of the best
known physicians of this city, nearly
lost his life late this afternoon in at
tempting to rescue little girl thought
TO be in a burning house. He was
driving past Central avenue resi-
dence where a fire had broken out,
and, upon being informed that one of
the tenants was under the impression
that her child was still in the building,
the doctor entered the house and made
his way to the upper floor through
smoke and flames but failed to find
the little one. AS he attempted to
make his way out of the building again
he was overcome by the smoke and fell
unconscious to the floor. Flremen who
had been told about Dr. Putman's dar-
ing deed made a search for him and
found him on the second landing. He
was taken out and removed to his
home in an ambulance. The child
for whom the doctor so nearly sacri-

New York, Jan. 12.-The police OF
New York had another spasm of &C.
tivity late this afternoon and raided
two alleged pool rooms, one in Great
Jones street near Broadway, and the
other in Thirteenth street, near Fifth

ture and took back to tn. House With

although there were 200 persons in
the building at the time. The men ar
rested are said to have been employees
of the place. Half an hour later the
officers got busy and again battered
down the doors of the other alleged
pool room. Here they got six pris-
oners out Of rs men who were there.
District Attorney Jerome also put
in busy day. He had long inter-
view with Lou" Ludlam, one Of the
best known gamblers in New York
and the latter admitted that for years
he has conducted gambling house on
West Fortieth street. Afterwards Mr..
Jerome sent out and brought Mr.. Lud-
lam's gambling paraphernalia which
had been spirited from his place last
night and stored in stable near the
house.
Rumors were in circulation tonight
that both the police and the district
attorney are making elaborate prepara-
tions for wholesale raids. AS result
all of the larger houses are tonight
closed up tight.

CHUNK OF COAL
FLUNG BY TEAMSTER SEVERELY

Yesterday, Immediately after dinner,
as Howard Ball, little boy about six
years Of age, was on his way to school
a teamster on coal wagon threw a
chunk of coal at the boy and infiict-
ed a serious wound in his forehead.
The teamster's name could not be as
certained and so his side of the story
is not known but the boys were all
small and were probably throwing
snow balls at the wagon. 1t Is not
known why this should so anger a man
as to make him throw coal at the boys
as they were too small to do any harm.

SWEEPING CHANGE
PosToFFicE INSPECTORS HERE.
AFTER TO BE UNDER SUPER
VISION OF POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Postmaster
General Wynne today issued an order
transferring from the bureau of tho
fourth assistant postmaster general to
his own immediate jurisdiction the di-
vision of postofilce inspectors. This is
the most sweeping change in the or
ganization of the postofIice scandals a
year ago last summer At that time
the division of postoffice inspectors
was transferred from tho bureau of
the first assistant postmaster general
to that of Mr.. Bristow in order that
the latter might make freer use of the
inspectors in the investigation which
he was conducting
Postmaster General Wynne has felt
that the service would be improved
by having the inspectors in his direct
charge, so that in employing them for
purposes of Investigation in the diff
ferent bureaus of the department 1t
would be necessary to move through a
coordinate bureau.

THE WIFE Wins.
ErOdie Duke Will Be
Brought Before the
Court.
A LETTER FROM DUKE

New York, Jan. 12.-Mrs. Alice
Webb-Dukes petition to have the
question of the sanity of her husband,
Brodie j.. Duke, now confined in the
Sanford Sanitarium, Brooklyn, decid-
ed by jury, was granted this after
noon by Justice Gaynor in the su-
preme court in Brooklyn. The justice
in granting the petition set aside the
order of Justice Traux. who COM
ing the settlement of the proceedings
instituted by Lawrence Duke to have
the mans marriage with Alice Webb
annulled
The jury, which will be composed Of
from IL to % men, will be selected by
Sheriff Hesterberg, or Kings county
next week, and will meet on January
10. 1t will be presided over by a
commission composed of Isaac F..
Russell, dean of the New York Uni
versity law school; DR.. Thomas L..
Fogarty and woodward d. Candee.
1t will be decided tomorrow where
Duke is to be kept until the jury de-
cides the question of his mental con-
dition. Mr.. Levy, of counsel for Mr..
Duke, stated this evening that no
objection would be made if the
courts decided to leave Duke in the
sanitarium until the jury has returned
its verdict. This procedure seems
unusual in view of the fact that w.
G.. Brampham, Dukes private seCre-
tary has already applied for a writ of
habeas corpus to secure his employers
release.
Mrs. Dukes sudden determination
to act in the matter on the eve of
Dukes appearance in the supreme
court before Judge Traux tomorrow,
was due to the receipt of a letter
from her husband, in which he states
that he had tried several times to
communicate with her, but that his
efforts have been frustrated by attend
ants set to watch him.
The following statement was made
this evening by John NJ. Gorham of
Mrs. Dukes counsel:
"The Duke family is allied against
Brodie l.. Dukes wife because Of
something they may have heard about
her, but that does not excuse their
actions If the court decides that Mr..
Duke is sane whatever the Duke fam
lily may think of Mrs. Duke will have
no bearing upon the validity of the
marriage"
No particulars we're obtainable this
evening relative to the points touched
upon at the conference held between
Delaney Nlchol, attorney for the
Duke family and District Attorney
Jerome.

D|SOBED|ENCE
OF Orders Caused Fatal
Wreck on the

THREE MEN KILLED

Denver, Colo, Jan. 12.-Officials OF
the Santa Fe railroad state that dis
obedience of orders on the part of the
crew of an extra westbound freight
train caused tho disastrous head on
collision with the eastbound California
Limited passenger train near Wagon
Mound, thirty miles south of Ration to-
day. Three persons were killed, they
being railroad employees.

Fireman o. Geruenebe, Las Vegas.
Now Mexico.
Philip Friensencher, in charge Of the
compartment car.
The most seriously injured are:
F. G. Boomer, of the freight and
Engineer Allison of the flyer.
Tho trains met on a long hill and
owing to the dense fog that prevailed
neither saw each other until just be-
fore the crash. Neither of the engine
crews had time to jump. Both engines,
the baggage, express and compartment
cars, and a number of freight cars
were reduced to kindling wood and
scrap iron.
The limited was bowling along at 40
miles an hour while the freight was de-
scending the brade at high speed. The
money loss will be enormous.
None of the passengers were seri-
ously hurt, but about score were
more or less bruised and cut by flying
glass from broken car windows. Traf-
flc will be delayed for "a hours.
The limited had the right of way,
but the freight was trying to reach
Upton before meeting No. 4.

shall have voice in the association.

when that officer, in a speech advocat-
ed reorganization, he made this state
ment
Whoever accuses me of having ul-
terror motives in advocating reorgani-

The speech caused a big sensation
and has not tended to clear the at

ton discussion today's sessions con-
sisted of routine business and the
reading and discussion of papers per-
tanning to the stock growing business.
