To Whom 1t May Concern;
We have been teaching Charter Short
hand here about two months, during
which time the students have accomplish
ed as much as those who have studied
Pitman from four to six months. Owing
to the vast superiority OF this system,
we are teaching 1t exclusively.
A number of students who have not
studied this system more than six weeks
are now filling positions, and as far as
we know are giving satisfaction. Some
of these same studens had studied
man. and having become thoroughly dis
couTaged. took UP Charter with the
above results.
We consider six weeks in Charter
Shorthand equal to that many months in
any other system in existence. We recon-
mend 1t Internationally to any up to
date school that may be fortunate enough
to secure the privilege of teaching it.
Yours respectfully.

hour late and an effort was being made
to make up this time and reach Spark,
New, at sthe scheduled hour. The reg
uIer schedule for the train at the point
whsre the wreck occurred is about
fifty-tWo miles an hour and the train
was evidently running more than this.
Brakeman Reported Dead.
A. report received late last night
stated that the rear brakeman, who
was taken to BeOwawe died there as a
result Of his injuries, several hours
after the accident. This report could
not be confirmed. Among those who
were injured were: Michael O'Keefe
Thomas E. Powell, John F. Rotzler
Arthur L. Louder, Willard HI Israel
son, Dennis Murphy and Christian
Benzing, all of whom run out of Og-
den; also John J. Burke and George A.
Scott, mail clerks from San Francisco.
Burke and Scott were perhaps the most
seriously injured among those who
were in the mail ears.
Caused Short Delay.
On account of the wrecked cars be-
ing thrown SO far from the track, the
regular traffic was delayed but a short
time. A special train was run from
WinnemucCa to the scene of the acct
dent to carry doctors and nurses. The
Ogden wrecking force was started at )
O'Clock last evening to assist in clear
ing away the debris. Several of the
injured were brought to Ogden, and
others were taken through to San
Francisco. The railroad people say the
accident was due to either a defective
brakebeam or a broken rail.

Ogden. Jan. ga report OF the
wreck of No. 9, the fast mail train,
which occurred near Harvey, New,
about midnight Friday, reached Ogden
yesterday through the mail clerks and
trainmen running in here. From the
meager details given it is thought that
No. was running at a high rate of
speed, so fast in fact that one of the
cars could not stick to the rails, and in
this way the wreck was caused. The
place where the accident happened was
in Palisades canyon, on what is
known as "ShirttaiP' curve. The three
cars which were wrecked after leaving
the track rolled down an embankment,
turned completely over and settled 100
feet from the track. The engine and
the first car did not leave the track.
The first car to leave the rails was the
paper car, which took fire and was
completely destroyed, together with its
contents consisting of about $50 sacks
of papers destined to various points in
California.
Escaped Horrible Death.
Christian Benzing was in charge of
this car and narrowly escaped a hOrri-
BILE death. Behring'S foot protruded
from the wreckage and the rescuers
were able to pull him out before the
flames had gotten we'll under way.
There were fourteen mail clerks in adj
dition to the train crew and Assistant
Superintendent Shaughnessy were on
the train at the time of the accident
and about twelve of these were more
or less injured. The train was one

HER THROAT CUT
FROM EAR TO EAR
Mrs. A. W. Gentry of Chicago FOully
Murdered by E. J. Con-
stantine.
NO MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME
MURDERER ESCAPED WITHOUT
COAT OR HAT.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Mrs. A. w. Gentry,
IS years old, wife of the president Of
the Universal Trading & Supply COM
pany, was murdered today for some
unknown reason by man whom the
police declare is E. J. Constantine,
boarder in the Gentry home.
Mrs Gentry died before she could
make a statement and Constantine fed
from the building without either his
hat or his coat and is now being sought
by the police.
At the time of the murder Mrs. Cen
try and Constantine were alone in the
apartments at 532 La Sale street,
where the Gentry family lived.
Woman's Throat Cut.
Ms. Gentry was about to leave pre-
parttory to going down town. when
Constantine attacked her, and, after
cutting her throat from ear to ear,
pushed her out into the hallway and
threw her down fight of stairs. The
woman fell against the door of the
apartments occupied by DR.. David ].
DOherty, on the floor below The ply
stefan, hearing the noise. came to the
door and at once took Mrs. Gentry into
his office and endeavored to save her
life, but she had lost so much blood
that she died within a few minutes
DR.. Doherty at once telephOned to the
police, who arrived within few min
utes. but Constantine had fed before
they arrived.
Fled Without Hat or Coat.
Thomas Lindboe, the janitor of the
apartment building, declared that Con-
stantine came running down the back
stairway without his hat or coat, and
asked LindhOe to go back and get his
hat for him. Before he could comply
with the request Constantine dashed
into the street and fed. A razor be-.
longing to Constantine and covered
with blood was found on the floor of
the apartment in which the crime was
committed It is not believed Constan-
tine can escape arrest for any length
of time
Mr.. Gentry arrived at his home a
short time after his wife had been
killed, but he was unable to throw any
light upon the cause of the tragedy.
II cannot conceive" he said, "of any
reason why any person in the world
should attack my wife The entire af-
fair is complete mystery to me-
Son of Wealthy Parents.
It was learned later in the day that
Constantine is a son of a wealthy man
living in New York City. 1t is reported
also that he is a member of the firm
of John Constantine & Son, of Harlem.
The man was young and from letters
found in his room by the police it is
evident that he had ample money
There was evidence that he had been
stopping at the most expensive hotels
in Pittsburg, Boston and other western
cities. So far as known he had no en-
ployment, but was living on money
sent to him from New York
The police have sent out the follow
ing description of Frank Constantine
who is wanted for the murder of Mrs
Gentry:
Twenty years old, height feet 7
inches, weight 135 popnds, of stocky
build, dark complexion, wore diamond
stickpin in necktie.'
