Those injured, all of whom were train hands, escaped with bruises
 The Dominion Atlantic train was bound for Windsor. Digby and Tar mouth and was going at full speed when it crashed into the engine of the Intercolonial The collision was so unexpected that there was no chance to reduce speed and when the special engine was thrown from the track, it rolled down the bank into the lake and carried it's driver with it. He sue ceedied In getting clear of the cab, however, after he had been under wa ter so long that his fellow trainmen thought that he had been drowned. The derailed engine dragged several cars from the track and ripped up the rails and roadbed for a considerable distance The forward part of the work train engine was smashed, but it remained on the track. Nearly ev- cry train hand on both trains sustain ed bruises but none was seriously hurt.

STERN RULES
Newfoundlanders Forbid. den to Ship in Ameri.
 can Vessels.

Washington, Nov 4.-In anticipation Of the receipt of complaints from the Gloucester fishermen against the ac- ton of the Newfoundland authorities in preventing the captains of the American fishing smacks from recruit ing their crews from the natives of Newfoundland, the authorities here have been giving some attention to this phase of the general question of American fishing rights in Newfound- land waters. By a local statute, the Newfoundlanders are forbidden to ship as members of the crew ofA American fishing vessels. There is nothing to prevent a state or government from exercising such power as this against it's own citizens, provided the act Is limited in its enforcement to the territory. land and sea, of that power The only question that might arise would be in case an effort were made by a Canadian cruiser or government vessel to operate beyond the three mile limit; to prevent the trans-shipment of sailors in the open sea or to exercise right of search in the case of Ameri- can vessels. The official opinion is taht this could not be permitted, but upon q cursory examination of the issue the officials here incline to be- lief that the Newfoundland authori- ties are within their rights in prevent ing their own sailormen from going abroard Newfoundland vessel in Newfoundland waters with the inten- ton of going just beyond their terri torial waters to ship on American smacks.

Brokaw arrived here on the bark Charles GOunod from Newcastle, Australia, under the name of Charles Brown.

WIND GOES DOWN
Chicago No Longer Can Be Called the
 "Windy City"

Chicago, Nov 4.-Chlcago is the windy city" no more, from the view point of the government weather bu. reau. Since the removal of the bu. reau offices from the Auditorium tower 10 the dome of the new federal building the aerometer has taken q 20 per cent rest. Officially it has been found that the wind does not blow over the post office as hard at 1t did over the Audi forum by one-fifth.
 The wind register in its new quar- ters is BIO feet above the sidewalk This is thirty-six feet higher than it's old location. But a gale that would have registered fifty miles an hour at the old station now indicates only forty.
 ''The change probably is caused by the high buildings which surround us.' Prof H. J. Cox said yesterday. Although the register is high above anything else in the vicinity. the sky scrapers around the postofice tend to change the currents"

CHAMPIONSHIP CAN BE
 SIZED UP AFTER TO-DAY
All the Big Football Teams Will Go Against Players That Will Make Them Keep Eusy All the Time The Yale.Columbia Game at New York Drew Gut Large and Enthusiastic Crowd

New York, Nov 4-YaIe met Colum- Dia in football here to-day before many thousand spectators In game whose result was looked upon as a fair pre- dietlon what eastern eleven will win the championship this year. Coach Reid of Harvard was on the Yale side lines watching the game. The ambi- ton of Yale's eleven to-day was to make q greater score against Colum- bia than did Princeton last Saturday when the result was F to 0 in favor of the Tigers.
 Columbia however, has been drilled especially this week to score field goals on Yale and above all by play ing kicking game in the first half to reserve its strength for decisive effort to score in the second half of the game. It is almost tradition that Columbia holds Yale well in the first half but becomes exhausted and is overwhelmed by large score i'll the last few minutes of play. Many Columbia supporters believed that Co., lumbia has two players, Yon SaltZa and Schultz, who whenever Columbia is within Yale's 40 yard line are cap obiN Nl SNOAtlSs EOdls-
 Yale began her attack on Columbia as soon as the whistle sounded and after three minutes of play Flynn was sent through the center for a touch down and Veeder kicked the goal. When play was resumed Jones, the Yale quarterback, took the ball and ran thirty yards before he was downed. Jones had been unwell be- fore the game and after this play he was taken out and Hutchinson re- placed him. The Hsll was kicked to Hutchinson on YaIe's thirty yard line and down the field he came tearing holes through Columbia almost unin- terruptedly for the second touchdown Tripp was sent over for the third touchdown with the first half still un- finished. Veeder's kick for goal was blocked. which left the score at this writing IT to 0 in favor of Yale.
 Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 4EThe ear fy weather prospects for the annual game between Harvard and the Car lisle Indians today was very poor. When rain did not fall dull clouds and fog met the anxious eyes of those who looked for hopeful signs.
 The Carlisle players, who arrived yesterday and proceeded to Auburn dale. engaged fin light practice this forenoon. George Woodruff, coach of the visiting team, said that although Carlisle had been working with the team as 1t now stands for only three weeks he expected good game and a low score. Captain Hurley of Har- yard, who has been troubled with a sprained ankle. planned to be in the game to-day. Harvard had heav- fer team than she has shown before, ready for the game. Last year liar yard beat the Indians by score of F to o.
