San Francisco, Dec 5.-Under di- rect orders from Washington the rep resentatives of the department oi justice in California have been in- structed to begin an action in the courts to test the legality of the stat statute which provides that children |of Mongolian descent shall attend a separate school.

MAY BE MORE DEAD.
Unknown Woman and Child Proba-
 bly Dead in Railroad Wreck.

yergennes, Vt, Dec 5.-Although all the persons on the train which was wrecked on the Rutland railroad near this city last Saturday have been sup posed to have been accounted for. the belief persists among some people here that in addition to the three women whose bodies were removed, an un- known woman and child perished In the wreck.
 According to two vergennes citi- gems. Captain M. Daniels and Eugene Chilson, they found the foot of n child in the ruins on the afternoon of the disaster. Captain Daniels says he picked up the entire foot of child and that it had been broken from tie leg about an inch above the ankle. ChiIson says man, whom he took to be a railroad employe. came along a little later and wrapping the foot in piece of paper, walked in the direc- ton of the railroad station.
 In spite of this testimony. none of the passengers so far as questioned remember having seen child on the train. and two of them have said posi- lively that there was no suclr eiild.

GILLETTE ATE HEARTILY.
Condemned Man Does Not Despair
 Telegram from His Mother,

Herkimer, N. Y.. Dec 5.-There is nothing about the appearance of Chester Gillette in his cell to-day that goes with picture of despair. The young man who was convicted of killing his sweetheart last night slept soundly and ate heartier breakfast than anyone else in jail.
 Gillette feels confident that he will be treated better in the trial that he expects to result from his appeal. Notice of that appeal will be filed to- morrow when Judge Devendoff as- sembles court and sentences the pris. oner to the only fate that lies within his province after such a verdict.
 Gillette's lawyers would have beer satisfied to let any other verdict stand.
 Gillette got a telegram from hi mother this morning. She is Mrs F. S. Gillette of Denver, Col. The message urged the defendant to have courage and trust in God. It stated that she has wired to his attorney to be sure and appeal the case and promised him that she and his father would be at his side when the next trial took place.
 Former Senator Mills. senior coun- gel for Gillette, said this afternoon that there would surely be an ap- peal from the finding of the jury. He said that he would be in court tomorrow to make application to have the verdict set aside. Gillette spent the day in playing cards. and his mind seemed not to be preoccu- pied in the last.

TRAIN WAS DERAILED.
Eighteen Passengers Were Injured.
 But None Killed.

Chicago. Dec 5.-Train No 36 on the Monon road, which is the fast limited on that line between Cincin- nati and Chicago, was derailed early to-day, two miles north of Frankfort, Ind. by broken rail. Eighteen pas sengers out of total of 175 on the train were injured, but nobody was killed, and 1t is not believed that any of the injured will die.
 The train was going at a high rate of speed, and the rail broke be- heath the engine, which, however passed the place in safety. All of the baggage and mail cars, coaches and sleepers left the track and some of them were badly damaged. There is no embankment at the scene of the accident and the cars merely plowed their way along the ground at the side of the track for consid- erable distance before being brought to stop. The injuries of the pas sengers are bruises and cuts received by being thrown about the cars.

WENT ASHORE TO-DAY.
Bark Flying Signals of Distress Wit.
 messed by Many.

Chatham, Mass, Dec 5.-The un- known barkentine which was flying signals of distress of Monomoy point yesterday and which was anxiously watched during the day. appeared to have gone ashore on Great Round shoal to-day. At dark last night the vessel seemed to have been blown past the dangerous shoals on tn
 coast and to be riding at anchor safely. When daylight came to-day. however, 1t was seen that had dragged her anchors for some dis tance, and from the way in which she lay, with her mizzen mast sway ing, the life savers here believed that she had lost her race for the open sea and had struck on the shoals. She was still flying distress signals.
 Captain Kelley of the Monomoy point life saving station started out with his crew during the forenoon to row to the vessel. which was about six miles south by east of the point At about the same time the revenue cutter Gresham was sighted passing Monomoy point headed fir the direction of the barkentine.

War Department Watching.

Washington, Dec 5.-The knowl- edge that the war department is watching with interest the experi- ments being conducted in various parts of the country in the direction of aerial navigation has caused q number of inventors to putt forward the merits of their respective ma chimes in the hope of securing go.- ernment aid and ultimately their adoption for army purposes in the event of war. To all such appeals the reply has been that when the practicability of machine has been at least partially demonstrated, the board of ordnance and fortifications would consider tho question Of grant ing financial aid, and then only on condition that the invention would become available for government use. So far the department has not been convinced of the utility of any Uf the machines brought to its atten- tion.

CARNEGIE GIVES 4 LAKE The Formal Transfer of a Big Body Q Water Which Was Made For
 Aquatic Sports
IT IS THREE MILES LONG

Princeton, N. J., Dec 4.-Andrew Carnegie will to-day make formal presentation of the lake which he has had built for Princeton. It is three and half miles long and the land for it cost $103,000. The gates ir the big new dam were closed several days ago and the waters of Stony brook and the Millstone have filled the lake excavation.
 The formalities at Princeton be- gan with an academic procession, in which MT Carnegie marched from old Nassau hall to Alexander hall After the donors presentation ad- dress the lake was accepted by Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson.
 When MT Carnegie has been enter ta!ned at luncheon by President and Mrs Woodrow Wilson he will accom- pany committee on an inspection of the like. It begins at the college prop erty with a width of about 400 feet becoming wider to include number of islands, near which are the swim ming pools. Opposite Harrison street the lake occupies the entire width of the valley. between the canal tow path and the hill. It narrows again slowly toward the dam, where the width is $50 feet.
 The building of this lake will prob ably add to the crowds which will visit Princeton for athletic events. Anticipating the growing importance of the old college town, the Pennsyi- vania railroad has recently com pleted a double track road from its main line to Princeton. The first fair trial this road had was at the Yale-Princeton game a few weeks ago, when twenty-two special trains from New York and Newark, seven from Philadelphia and one from Trenton, carried about 15,000 people to and from the game almost without any delays.
 The average depth of the lake will be about six feet, except in the 350- feet wide river channel, where the depth will be from eight to sixteen feet. There is ample room for three mile course with finish in front of the college land. The lake will be ornamental as we'll as useful and it is planned to have broad and beautiful driveway around it.
 It has not yet been definitely de- whether or not Princeton will enter into intercollegiate boat racing The lake was not built with that in view, but to give the students facilities for aquatic sports. If row. Ing does take its place with football and base ball. there will be more ath- letic events to draw crowds to Prince ton.

We'll Known New Yorker Was Con- handed to ksep Still But Uttered
 . Warning Cry
BEATEN INTO INSENSBILITY
Robbers Then Escaped Leaving Large Amount of Booty Which
 They Had Ready to Take.

New York, Dec 5.-Awakened by tie sound of a stealthy footstep in his splendid home in East 63rd street near Fifth avenue in the heart of the city's most exclusive residential dis tsict early to-day Elias Asiel, a broker found himself gazing into the muzzlc eff two revolvers. "We'll shoot if you make a squeak" said voice as the guns and the men behind them began to draw slowly away toward door which had been left open when they entered the room. Mir Asiel did not heed the warning, but raising him. self on his elbow sent shout for i-elp echoeing through the house. An instant later the two men were upon him, raining blows upon his head when servant who had heard the cries rushed into the room the broker was lying in bed helpless. on the verge of insensibility, his head and the pillows upon which 1t lay bathed in blood. The robbers had escaped. Two minutes later the whole neigh borhood had been aroused by. the screams of the servants and Mir Asiels daughter and score of po- licemen from nearby stations were gushing to the scene to search for the burglars. But the few minutes had given the robbers time to make their escape and no trace of them yet had been found.
 Investigation showed that the burg. lars gained entrance to the house. by saving an inch thick iron bar which held gate which guarded the base ment door and then cutting out the glass panel of the door. A large amount of gold and silver plate in the dining room had been gathered and tied up in two compact bundles, but In their flight from the house the men did not have time to take their booty with them So far as can be learned the only reward they gained for their desperate net was few silver knives, forks and spoons which were probably thrust into their pock- cts while footing the dining room and a dozen pearl and sapphire stickpins which are missing from Mir Asiel's bedroom.
