Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 15.-The public

Said Superintendent Denfeld yes

tion Of simplifying the spelling of the
language, and of every one Of the rules
they suggest. There is nothing new or
especially startling about any of these
rules, many forms having been in use
by good authorities in the literary

simplicity, will appeal to them. There
will be nothing compulsory about it.,

10 DROWNED BY
HANDCAR PLUNGE
Car Loaded with Section Men
Runs Into Open Draw
on Bridge.

Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 15.-Running
without permission, a handcar, loaded
with trackmen of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie railroad, ran off an open draw
over the Maumee bridge last night and
every one on the car was drowned.
The number of men on the car is
Said to have been ten.
Owing to the fact that the men took
the car from point some miles from
Toledo, where work is being done, iden-
LITIGATION of the missing men has not
been made.
It is impossible to learn what prompt
ed the fatal ride, as the men took the
car without orders. The men, when first
seen in the yards, were ordered off the
track by Yardmaster Thomas, but re-
fused to obey.
On one Of the bodies was found
letter from Italy. It is thought that
most of the men were foreigners.
Six bodies have been recovered and
four more are being searched for. The
men were section employees of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie road, according
to time checks found on the bodies.
