GETS NEW START.
Paste Gem King Is Allowed by His
Creditors to Go Abroad to Make
New Fortune.

New York, May 16.-Having made
something like q million in the sale
of paste jewelry and having spent it
as fast as he made it, Louis H. Gold
soil, commonly known as the diamond
palace king" has gone abroad with the
consent and approval of his creditors,
to try to replenish his Gimmed fortunes
and pay his just debts by selling imita-
ton diamonds and pearls to Europeans.
He is in debt about 5000, 900 to the man
ufacturers of the bogus gems.
Before his lavish expenditures
brought disaster he had a hundred
~palatial stores scattered from Califor-
mia to New York. Each was made re-
splendent with purple plush fittings and
radiant with ~incandescent electric light.
In that setting he displayed the paste
creations which come to be known as
electric light jewelry." Crowds gulped
at the glittering bait. and he prosDered.
For his most expensive establishment
at Fifth avenue land Twenty-third
street, he is said to nave paid a rental
of $50, 900 a year. He ceased to do BUSH
ness there on Monday, but he sold
his lease at a profit.
His creditors have not lost faith in
his genius. They believe he can do to
Paris and london and Berlin what he
has o to New York. So they have
permitted him to take across the sea
his Unsold Jewels" which nobody else
could sell half so profitably; hav ex-
tended his credits and arranged to let

TIDE TURNS TO EAST
Center Of Population, the Experts Be-
lieve, Has Changed Its Course
from the West.

Washington, May 13.-Populat,on experts
of the census bureau are inclined TO the
belief that the center of population of the
United States, which has traveled west
ward steadily since the foundation of the
republic, has turned and is now headed
eastward. II this be true, the fact is of
interest as indicating that the movement
of population toward the east and the
southeast is greater than the movement
toward the west. 1t is expected that cen
suses to he taken in a dozen states during
May and juno VII throw light on the
present location Of the center of ponula-
ton, which the census Of 1900 placed six
miles southeast of Columbus, Ind.
Because of the increase of population in
eastern cities, especially New York. and a
steady trend of growth III the southeast
crn Atlantic scaboard states, the popuIa-
ton Npe have formed the opinion that
If there is a westward movement of the
center it IS very Slight and that If its di-
rection has not been reversed there is p
possibility that it will be before the end
of the present decade. The only fact which
they find to combat this theory is the rap
i'd growth of population in the state OF
Washington, which offsets a much larger
growth in the eastern states.

Six Persons Injured, Two Probably Fa.
tally, in Accident Caused by
wreekers

Emporia, Kan, May 16.-Santa Fe
passenger train No. II was ditched a
mile east Of town. Six passengers We're
injured n two will probably die.
The injured:
James Eager, of the soldiers home,
two places, head ana hands cut and
back injured; fatally injured.
j. O.. Rice, Santa Fe car repairer, on
way from Topeka hospital to Shawnee,
Okla, badly bruised, left ear partly

E. A. Tabor, Kansas City, deep cuts
of scalp, four teeth knocked out, con-
fusion on right leg, both and cut.
f. A. Grover, fireman, Topeka, thrown
from cab and back and shoulders in
jured.
This is the fourth attempt in the last
four months TO wreck passenger trains
in the same place. Previous attempts
were made by piling ties on the tracks,
but without serious results. This wreck
was caused by removing the spikes and
dshplates of two rails OH the inside of
4 curve. The engine on No. II passed
over the loose rails safely, but the mail
car left the track and was dragged 100
yards along the embankInent before the
train was stopped. The next five cars,
two express and baggage cars, smoker
and two day coaches, went into the
ditch across the right of way fence and
lodged in a ziGzag line. The end of the
baggage car went up into the air high
enough to ground the telegraph wires.
W sleepers remained on the track.
The passengers We're asleep when the
wreck occurred II became greatly ex-
cited, but soon formed a rescuing party
and went to the relief of the men in
the overturned baggage car. A window
was broken and of seven men in the
car six were found injured S~tretchers
were made from car doors and the
wounded were carried to a nearby field,
where a hospital was improvised.
An hour after the wreck a relief
train arrived from Emporia and the
injured were taken to Emporia.
A hundred workmen were put TO
work on the track and it was cleared
for use again in the afternoon.
There is no clew to the wreckers.
Three men were seen the night before
near the Howard Branch section house.
Next morning a track wrench and
clawbar were missing, and they were
found in a pool of water near the
wreck.
