ROGERS NARROW ESCAPE
Oil Masnate Comes Near Being VIC
tim of Railroad
Wreck

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Oct. "a.
The Henry H. Rogers special while
standing In the union depot yards here
late tonight, escaped serious injury by,
the slightest chance. Every one on the
train was severely shaken up and sew
eral panes of glass in the coaches were
shattered by collision with ten runa-
way freight cars. The cars broke loose
from their engine on a heavy grade
and coasted down toward the oil mag
Mates train at a rapidly increasing
rate of speed. Trainmen, thinking the
engine to be still attached to the
freight cars, signaled in an attempt
to stop it, but this had no effect and
before the men in the caboose could
be warned and the brakes applied, the
heavily laden cattle cars struck Mr..
Rogers special. The heavy construc-
ton of the Pullmans saved them from
serious injury, but the caboose was
badly shattered.
Mr., Rogers was asleep in his berth
and the impact threw him across his
berth, striking his head upon the
wooden partition.
The party. left Humboldt, Kan,
this morning on the Santa Fe, passing
through Holiday and coming to Leav-
enworth. Here the special was trans-
ferred to the Missouri Pacific and left
on the rear of the regular northbound
train for Omoha.

With Cast of Tried Actors and
Actresses of Northern University

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. "a.
In the Boat club comedy, which will
be staged here next Friday night, it
is notable fact that one-half of the
principal roles will be taken by stu
dents who hail from the land of sun
shine and oranges.
The play, which is entitled "All
Tangled Up" is from the pen of
Charles Townsend, and abounds in
flashing wit and humor, enlivened
with local color. 1t demands much
clever acting, and the way the cast
is performing in rehearsals is a guar
antee that the production will be a
great success.
Miss katherine Glover of Los An
geles as ~"Vernie" is perhaps the most
fetching and interesting character in
the cast. Naturally endowed with vi
vacity and cleverness, she is right at
home when needed to brighten up a
plots which she and the favored
friend" are continually enacting.
This Favored friend" is also from
the south, and is we'll known to Stan
ford playgoers He is Johnny" Ward
of San Diego. Ward plays the role of
Lester MacVey an easygoing law
yer, and, in college parlance, does the
stunt mighty keenly. He is pollshed
actor and has taken part in many COL
lege plays during the past two years.
Last season he made a. hit in the So
phomore: play, "The Rivals" Miss
Glover has also previously been seen 10
advantage before the Stanford foot
lights. notably in the Junior farce, 1.-THE
Man From Mizzouri," about a year ago.
Last, but far from least, comes Bob"
Baker, also of San Diego He is a
comedian of the first rank, and in last
years English club play, EVERY Man
in His Humor," he played the part Of
Brainworm in an exceedingly clever
manner. In the coming production he
will be known as Keeling Plantum, the
proprietor of an undertaking and tomb
stone business. Before coming to STAN
ford both Ward and Baker were
prominent in southern high school
dramatics.

CONSIDERS CASTRO WRONG
Washington Thinks He Made Mistake
In Matter


By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. - Pending
the result of Mr.. RusselPs interview
with President Castro, the state de-
partment will not discuss its nature
It should be understood, however, that
he will confine his efforts to a possible
assistance in the solution of the Taigny
incident involving President Castros
alleged discourteous treatment of the
French minister at Caracas. The
Washington government feels that
President Castro made a mistake in
this matter. AS soon as 1t became
known that this was the paramount
grievance of France against Venezu-
ella and the primary cause for the dis
patch of the French squadron, the
hope was held here that France might
find a way for the settlement of her
trouble with Venezuela without re-
sort to force. Recent conferences have
been held at the state department be-
tween the secretary and the Venezue-
Ian charge. The charge is lending his
efforts to diplomatic adjustment.
