VTNTON SCHOOL GOES OVER
Majority of Board Of Education Not Ready
to Act on Proposition.
FINK HAS SOME OF THE BOARDS CASH
Refuses to Turn II over to city Treas
urcr Hennines and Board Refers
Matter to the judiciary
Committee.

A proposal to take immediate action in
arranging to build a new school house on
the Ninton site was introduced at the
Board of Education meeting last night by
Member Rice, but his colleagues deferred
action for two weeks. Mr.. Rice's resolu-
ton stated that the extreme south part
of the city is growing rapidly in popula-
ton and the four small buildings that
now form the Vinton school are wholly in
adequate and instructed the buildings and
property committee to procure the services
of an architect at once to draw plans
to be approved by the board for the inn
mediate construction OK sxteen-room
building.
Member Detweiler recalled the fact that
the board had the same matter up some
time ago and at that time could not agree
on the manner of securing architectural
service and how the plans should be
drawn. He said he thought the matter
should be left over for two weeks in or
der to permit time for consideration.
President McCague said the size of the
new building should be given careful at
tention, and Mr.. Rice said he thought
sixteen rooms none too many.
In assigning the members to visit schools
President McCague urged them to re-
spond to the duty in order to get closer
in touch with the local educational system.
He warned the members that he would
call FOR a report from each one in two
months.
Fink Has school Money.
The board was informed that the last
state school moneys apportionment of ST.
59S,16 mad been deposited in the banks and
was at the service of the board for the
drawing of warrants against it by Robert
O. Fink, who signed himself treasurer
ex-offcio for,tbe school district of Omaha"
Mr.. Fink has refused to turn the money
over to City Treasurer Hennings or Secre-
tary Burgess. The matter was referred to
the judiciary committee and the attorney.
An order authorized for 100 rifles
and as many cartridges boxes and bayonet
scabbards for the use of the high school

escaped by so narrow margin with
their lives. The second car forward
of the caboose was an empty freight
aud it was thrown off the track and
partially wrecked. The track for
100 feet was torn up and part OF the
rails were twisted and bent beyond
further use.
Engineer Crocker was picked up
beside the track back by the mail car,

were broken just above the ankle and
he was badly shaken up. The body
of Fireman Barger was found lying
on the wreckage, between the cab
and tender Of his engine, where it
had dropped after he had been crush
ed. He had tried to jump from the

engine, but was caught between the
corner OF the cab aud the end of the
tender and his hips and abdomen
were horribly crushed and much Of
the flesh was torn from his thighs.
He was just gasping his last breaths
when Conductor lyman, Brakeman
Ben Rohr and some of the. pass
engers, who had rushed to the rescue
Of the enginemen, reached him and
he was dead before they could get him
removed. His body was at once taken
to an undertaking room and prepared
for shipment to Roseburg. Engineer
Kinney and Fireman Ryan stsid by
their engine and as the cab was not
crushed in they escaped with only
some severe bruises.
The mail car was in charge Of n.
A. Ambrose and e. L. Gordon.
They were at work and having no
warning Of the crash were both
thrown violently of their feet Mr..
Ambrose landed against the railing
to the stove while Mr.. Gordon

Neither was badly injured, but they

wreck that Mr.. Ambrose has been ia
and the third for Mr.. Gordon. but 1t
probably would have been their last
had their car not been thrown top Of
the heavy steel tender but had been
telescopcd by it and crushed, as is so
often the case in similar disasters.
That the wreck did not take afre was
due to the prompt action Of the train
men. The stove in the cahoose had
fire in it, but before it could ing,te
the wreck it was put out. The FIRE.
box Of the wrecked engine was not
smashed and rs the engine laid
with the forward end down in the
ditch the doors to the firebox remained
closed aud the fire soon died out.
The wrecked trains could be seen
from the depot and within FIVE min
utes after the disaster, Operator
John Summer, under direction of
Agent G.. P. Jester, notified railroad
officials at Portland Roseburg and
Ashland of the wreck. Section Fore
man Dennis Mccarthy had just finish
ed his supper when he was notified of
the wreck. Mr.. MCCARTHY is a
veteran railroader and to get the read
open to trains was his first thought.
Fortunately wood train had pulled
in that evening to lay overnight here
and on it were some 30 Japs. Fore
man Mccarthy got the Japs out as
lively as though to chase Russians.
By the time Foreman Mccarthy got
his own men and the Japs out, Fore
man j. II. Hathaway had an engine
out of the roundhouse and some empty
cars run up to the storage pile of rails
and ties, The 80 men under Foreman
Mccarthy soon had the cars loaded
and with Car of wood to build bon
fires to give light the work train was
quickly at the wreck. Road Master

an Awful Havoc-Ensines
and Cars Demolished.

Zone of the most disastrous wrecks
ever had on the Southern Pacific in
Rogue River Valley took place in
the east limits of the Grants Pass
station last Monday at 6 :2S p. m. 1t
resulted in the death of Fireman
John P. Barger and the serious in
jury of Engineer M. V.Crocker, and
bad shaking up of the passengers and
heavy damage to the two trains in the
collision.
\Freight train No. 222, in charge of
onductor Golden was just pulling
the siding, with passenger train
o. 16 in charge of Conductor Ed
! lyman following close behind. The
freight was long heavy one pulled
by two engines and just as it was half
on the siding it broke in two in the
/. n die, by the giving away of a
bolt. This left the rear section
ing on the main track with the
brakes set hard. Conductor

was wet and slippery causing the
brakes to have less effect in checking
the speed Of the train.
In an instant with terrific crash,
that was heard all over the east part
of town, the trains came together.
The passenger train was pulled by
two engines, the first manned by En-
gineer M. V. Crocker and Fireman
Jvhn P. Barger and the second one
by Engineer Frank Kinney and
Fireman b. f. Ryh. The head en-
gine was almost stripped and was
thrown to the side of the track and
lying ON its side and headed from the
roadbed at almost rightangles. The
tender was thrown across the roadbed
and badly stove in and with its trucks
torn off. The second engine remained
on the roadbed but buried over the
axles in the earth. 1t remained up.

smashed and the cab was broken
considerably. Its tender was but lit

mail car left the trucks and was
thrown on the tender, standing it on
an angle Of 90 degrees and smashing
the forward end considerably. During
the night it slipped of itself off the
tender and fell back on the trucks.
The caboose to the freight train was
literally ground into kindling wood.
Forward Of the caboose was q car load
Of dynamite which was hurled into the
ditch and thrown at an angle to the
track. The Car was badly wrecked
and many OF the boxes of dynamite
were broken. To the fact that the

AUTOMOBILE GRAPHING

Bathhouse John, or somebody stakes me to it. But, in the meantime it's all off with our little excursion out into the cool, woody country, I suppose?'
 Oh, pretty near all off, said I, step ping back into the wa gon and beginning to start 1t up.
 Oh, well, don't you care. little one amably remarked the show girl to me, continuing to give me the pealing hoot. You'll be able to poke hop into your arm with needle and be real little Sher- lock Holmes some day, if you're good and behave. Dada! Shake dada to mamma, Mamma is busy-she's got to go right down town and hunt up some other mark that runs a buzz-buggy shopv
 Take it to heart, eh? Not much, did shei I pulled away from there with a sort of sneaking feeling that she'd sent me to the mat for the full count, and if you can't see how much better of the argu- ment she had, you want to get your ears treated.
 But. all the samee. that very afternoon l bought an armful of copies of publica- tion in which her picture had appeared short time before, and I sent the clipped likenesses out to every auto-selling con- cern in New York with note to each of them, telling about her little game.

AS THEY SAY THEM IN BOSTON
Local Names Which Are Traps for
 Strangers Tongue.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 People who go to Boston may not care much about the simplified spelling, but if some kind soul would simplify the pro- nunciation of the English language as she is spoke around Boston it would save the stranger many bushes.
 If. for instance, you happen to be the stranger, and by way of showing an in- terest in local politics you remarA that you are glad that Guild defeated aoran you are courting danger. How does any body pronounce "Guild?" Like "gild." of course. But put a capital at It's head go to Boston, and at once you must say "Guiled."
 As for Moran, 1t is admitted that some Bostonlans do say-as who else would not?-"Mo-ran." with the accent on the last syllable, as for instance in also ran. But there are others who give it pro- nunciation which is a cross between "Mo- ran and Moran and which really sounds more like "Murrain" than anything else.
 If you want to appear to be native bean-eater-of course, you may not: there is no accounting for tastes-you will not talk of Dorchester. but of Dotchester: not of Roxbury and Sudbury, but of Roxb'ry and Sudb'ry.
 If you think of sending your son to Gro
 
 tun." You will go not to Quincy Market, but to "Quinzy Market" the same being in the lower portion of not Faneuil Hall. but "Fannul Hall,' or even Funnel Hall"
 In Quinzy Market you may be lucky enough to find some apples labelled Blue Pearmans. But if you would appear to the manner born you will ask for them as Blue P mains"
 Perhaps you already know enough to call Leominster "I,emm'nster' to say 1 "Ash-by'' when you talk of Ashby and "Wall-thamm" when you refer to Wal 1 than, and '.Wawb'n" for Waban. and "HaYv'r'll' for IIaverhil, and "kittry" for <ittery. and 'SaVVin HIP for Savin Ill,
 l But there remains the crucial test of 1 Blllerica. If you call it-as it is spelled | 'Bil-ler-i-ca," you must not wonder what causes that strange expression to pass l over the face of any true Bostonian with 1 in hearing. The strange expression will not be there if you say "Bill-rikka" or | even "Bill-rieky"
