station at Rangoon, four miles north of the scene of the wreck and the first station north of Lawyers depot. Assistant General Superintendent E. A. Coapman of the company gave out the following statement:
 investigation 50 far made of the ac- cident develops the fact that Operator Mattoax at Rangoon let train No. 83 into the block and. disregarding the rules, failed to notify the operator at Lawyers depot of this fact
 "A fuller investigation will be made as speedily as possible, but we do not expect to develop additional facts. The company has number of men securing the country in the hope of locating Operator Mattoax. but up to late hour i've have been unable to as- certain absolutely anything as to his whereabouts"
 The death of William Walter Pollard, the negro porter in President Spencer's private car, and J. W. Shaw, the negro fireman, both of whom died in the city hospital here, has swelled the death list to seven in all. The latest word from the hospital regarding the injured in- dlcated that all of them are doing nice ly and probably will recover.
 The escape of E. A. Merrill of New York. private secretary to MT. Spencer. the only survivor in the party on the private car save for a porter, was miraculous. The injuries he sustained are not serious, and he will be able to leave the city hospital here probably by the first of the week.
 The funeral of President Spencer will take place at St. Johns church, Washington. at 2 o'clock tomorrow aft ernoon, Rev. Roland c. Smith, the rector, ofiiciating. The body will be in- tered at Washington, and the burial service will be private.
 For five minutes during the funeral hour, beginning promptly at o'clock, every train and all machinery of the entire Southern railway system will : be at standstill as a mark of respect to the late president
 The active pallbearers will consist of ten of the oldest negro porters in the service of the Southern. This list will not be made public until tomor- row. The honorary pallbearers will include the vice presidents and off, cials of the road, J. Pierpont Morgan and other prominent financiers of New i York.

Another boy is gladdened with $5 in cash for having made the longest list of words this week from the letters contained in the words BOSS CRACKERS.

Boss & Son, New London. Ct., the longest list of words that can be made from the letters contained in the words BOSS CRACK FRS. Every week a prize of $5 is awarded to the boy or girl in this sec ton, many of those who have sent in lists are also receiving a beautiful It, tie stickpin in acknowledgement of their lists. The only condition in the contest is that with each list a seal from the end of a Boss cracker box must be enclosed.
 Three generations of the Ross fam fly of New London. Conn. have car ried on their immense cracker busi- ness until today the Boss cracker. which was so well known. even back when our grandmothers were starting housekeeping. are unquestionably the finest crackers on the market All their large bakeries are conducted on the most improved lines. and the crackers come into every household carefully wrapped and sealed in ac- cordance with the most modern re- quirements which demand that food be delivered to our tables in ss clean and wholesome condition without be- ing handled or exposed to con:ngion.

NEGROES TOAIDTHEM
New York, Philadelphia and
 Chicago to Keep Soldiers
COLORED MEN OF THREE CITIES IN IT
Pastor ef New York Church Tells oi ' Plans to Appeal President Ro0se- velt's Dismissal of Twenty
 fifth Infantry Mon.

nAth AnIoutEy men,
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Negroes in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. working together. plan to bring to each of the three cities one company of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty fifth infantry.
 The New York contingent will be cared for by the colored people of this city under the direction of the Consti- tutional league. The other two companies are to be provided for by members of their race in Philadelphia md Chicago respec. lively.
 Rev. Dr. w. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks church, New York, in ad- hitting the truth of this arrangement said that the purpose was to keep the discharged soldiers together and care for them pending their appeal to Wash. ington.
 In each of the cities a fund of $1,OO0 Is being raised by contributions of ne. groes.
 Word has been received from GIL christ Stewart, the colored lawyer at Fort Reno. that he is making good progress in securing dispositions to sup port the appeal of the soldiers for re instatement.
 Speaking of the plan to keep the nc gro companies together, Dr. Brook said:
 We negroes want to carry out thi plan alone. We do not crave white as sistance, and we are not soliciting iron white pocketbooks. We feel intensel, that an injustice has been done and while we hold with all decent people that if any member of those companies was guilty of crime he should be pun ished, many whites agree with us, have reason to know.
 We are not going to get together to denounce President Roosevelt We are going to attack his action, though, in dismissing these troops, as we feel he acted without hearing and without basis of proof of wrongdolng."
