ciaIs Consider the Situation Exceed.
ingly Grave.
Washington, Oct. 26-The days
cabinet meeting was attended by all
the members except Secretary Shaw
and Postmaster General Cortelyou.
Among the important matters dis
cussed was the situation growing out
of the anti-American sentiment in
Japan and the exclusion of Japanese
children from the public schools of
San Francisco.
It was stated by a member of the
cabinet after the meeting that the gen.
eral opinion of the members was that
the Japanese situation was exceed
ingly grave and would require the
most delicate treatment to avoid an
open rupture.
It developed that the proceedings
initiated in San Francisco to compel
the authorities to receive Japanese
pupils into the public schools were
directed by the department of justice.
Later President Roosevelt directed
Victor H. Metcalf, secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, to
go to San Francisco and make thor
ough and complete inquiry into the
situation.

OF the submerged cars stated tnat a.
least thirty bodies were still in the
coaches. 1t is impossible to identify
any of the newly recovered bodies.
The total dead recovered now number
Iorty-four.
Atlantic City, NJ j., Oct. 29.-By the
wrecking of a three-coach electric
train on the West Jersey and Sea-
shore railroad in the afternoon at
least fifty passengers perished, and
the list may reach the total of seventy
I've when all is known.
While crossing over a draWbridge,
spanning the waterway known as THE
Thoroughfare,' which separates At
lant1c City from the mainland, the
train left the track and plunged into
the water. The passengers in the first
two coaches with one or two excep-
tions were drowned.
Up to midnight twenty-five bodies
had been recovered and it is believed
that at least twenty-five and possibly
fifty more bodies still are in the sub
merged coaches.
The disaster, the worst. that has
happened since the terrible Meadow
wreck of July 80, 1895, occurred at
2:30 p. m. The train, made up of
threeheavy vestibuled electric coaches,
which left Camden at lis p. M, car
ried at least eighty-eight passengers
and that number of tickets are held
by the conductor. That official is un-
certain, however, just how many pas
sengers were on the train, and until
all the bodies have been taken out of
the submerged coaches it will not be
possible to give the true figures of the
dead.
Cause of Wreck Unknown.
The cause of the wreck has not been
established. It was probably due
either to a defective rail or the break
ing of some part OF the suDerstructure
of the first coach. 1t has also been
suggested that the drawbridge, which
had just been closed after the passage
of yacht, may not have properly
locked the rails. All the stories as to
the cause of the accident, however, are
purely speculative.
While running at a speed said to
have been moderate, the first coach
left the rails and dragged those follow
ing it over the ties for a distance of
fifty feet. Suddenly swerving the
first two coaches plunged over the
side of the bridge into the water be-
low. The third coach struck an abutt-
ment, broke it's couplings and for
brief time hung suspended oyer the
water. Brief as was this period, how
ever, It gave more than score of pas
sengers an opportunity to escape by
the rear door. Then the car sid off
and followed the other two into the
water. It is believed every one in the
third coach escaped alive, although all
were injured

JUST THE SHADOW OF A CHANCE

For Over Two Weeks the 6.Year.Old
Lad Has Fought ManfulIy for
His Life.

A report from St. Anthony's
hospital ia to the effect that
Albert Bower, the little fellow
who swallowed a portion of a
lead pencil last week, is slowly
dropping away, with no hope of
any relief. He is unable to par
take of nourishment and it is a
matter of but few days, so the
attendants at the hospital state,
before the end.
The manner in which the boy
swallowed the pencil is rather
peculiar. He was playing at his
home, near Lake George, being
alone at the time, when he swal-
lowed a short lead pencil, includ-
ing the brass tip and the rub
ber. His parents found him suf-
fering untold pain and took him
to an Akeley doctor, who could
do nothing to locate the pencil
and had him sent to Bemidji.
Albert was placed before an
X-Ray machine, and the pencil
was located, being at the open
ing of the right bronchial tube.
