FOUR PERSONS KILLED.
Hcad-on Collision Between Passenger
and Freight Trains

Donaldsville, La, December Is
Four persons were killed and two seri-
ouSly injured today in a head on COL
lisiOn between a passenger and a
freight train at long curve near here
on the Texas and Pacific railroad All
the fatalities were among members of
the train crews, no passengers being
seriously injured
The engineers and firemen of both
trains saw the approaching collision in
time to escape by jumping
Scarcely had the engines crashed to-
gether when the. boiler Of the freight
locomotive exploded.
The loss Of life was confined to the
passenger train. Many passengers were
painfully bruised, injuries about the
head being especially frequent, from
the force with which they were dashed
forward upon the car floods and over
seats.

tiated as to Riggsbee having witnesses

court to get them out of the way, he
will certainly find him guilty of con-

Riggsbee's lawyer, asking for eXteu-

eral court now might effect Riggs
bees case in the state court. Rigsbcc'S
Raleigh attorney is also under Judge
Purnell's fire, and if Riggsbee is found
guilty the lawyer will be disbarred, the
judge declares.
Judge Pur'nell sentenced several
moonshiners and gave them from IS

Its Necessity Has Lone Been
Recognized.
ARE UTTERLY INADEQUATE.
Especially i'll the Diplomatic Depart
meHt Of the Government-Amba
dor to r Foreign Country not q PO-
sition i'll Which Man Can Accumu-
late Wealth.
Especial to The Messenger.

Washington, December 15-The
question of a larger salary for the
president, members of his cabinet and
of the diplomatic corps has long been
agitated. Numerous bills have been in
troduced to give the president 500, 900
a year, with corresponding increases
TO other high officials The necessity
IS regarded as especially urgent in the
cases of ambassadors and ministers at
the foreign capitals. An American am
bassador receives s17,50O a year, which
looks to the uniformed like a pretty
good salary, but when consideration is
given to the enormous amount of enter
tertaining Il diplomat is called upon to
do especially at the principal European
capitals, 1t is very easy to understand
that an ambassadorship is not a job
at which a man could we'll accumulate
wealth. 1t has come to such a pass that
there are mighty few places in tho di-
plOmatlc service man could afford
to take, unless possessed Of an inde
pendent fortune.
To hold cabinet portfolio is almost
as bad. A very few men come TO
Washington as cabinet ministers and
save money, but most of them spend
several times the governmental sa,arv.
Of the members of the present cabinet
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson prop
ably is the most thrifty. Mr. Wilson
has broken ali records for length of
service in the cabinet, and it is said
that each year he has put aside a tidy
sum out Of his $4,000 q year stipend.
John D. Long, while secretary OF the
navy. also lived very modestly in
Washington, and it is estimated that at
least half of his salary was put aside
for a rainy day.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has no
independent fortune and undoubtedly
lives within his salary but it is I.,t
likely he is able to put much
aside. Most, if not all, the other mem-
bers of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet are
men who can afford to pay something
for the sake of serving their country
in places Of honor and distinction.

\ PLEA FOR COAL.
Tile Northwest in PreCariOus COnditt-
ton for Want of Fuel

Washington, December Ex-senator
McCumber today received the follow
ing telegram from J. P Whittemore,
dated yesterday at Galesburg, n D.:
THE United States army could net
be better employed than in compelling
and assisting the railroads to drop
everything and haul US coal Half the
northwest will be freezing in a week
and the whole Of it in two weeks"
Mr.. McCumber announced his inten-
ton of forwarding the telegram tC the
president as the chief of
the army. He said that he and Sena-
tor Hansbough and the house mem
bers of the North Dakota congressional
delegation had made representations
concerning the coal shortage to the IN
terstate commerce commission and that
he had been assured that the subject
would receive consideration at the
meetings which the commission will
hold in Minneapolis next week.

IN THE CASE OF HARRY THAW.
Attorney Hartridge Makes Applica-
tion for Dismissal OF Indictment Tn
dess Speedy Trial is Granted.


New York, December 15.-Clifford w.
Hartridge, attorney for Harry K. Thaw,
applied TO Justice O'Gorman, in the
New York state supreme court today

der of Stanford White should not be

O'GOrman, Hartridge sets forth every
thing that has tranSpired since the ar
rest of Thaw. He declared that Tnaw S
trial was set for December 3rd. when
because CT the application for a COM
mission to take testimony Of witnesses
outside the state, the trial was put
over by the dist-ict attorney and said
that other prisoners arrested since
ThaW have been granted trial.
The papers cite that ThaW has now
been in prison 172 days and that not
only is his health being impaired but
also the health of his wife and mother
through anxiety over the undue and
unnecessary delay"
