INVESTIGATING WRECK
OF TWO SOUTHERN TRAINS

Lynchburg, Va, Nov. 30.-An inves
tigation is being made today into the
circumstances which led to the
wrecking of two Southern Railway
trains near here yesterday, resulting
in the death of President Spencer
and several other passengers and the
injury of many others. the death OF
VIM. Pollard, porter of Spencer's spe-
cial car, and ]. w. Shaw, the negro
fireman, both OF whom died in the hos
pital last night, swelled the list of
dead to seven. 1t is expected that all
others injured will recover. The es-
cape of A. A. Merrill, private secre-
tary to President Spencer, the only
survivor in the private car save one
porter, was miraculous. His injuries
are not serious.
Washington. D. C., Nov. 30.-Sup-
erintendent OF Transportation Taylor,
of the Southern Railway, said today
that all efforts of the company so
far to locate Operator Mattox, who
was operating the block signal tow
er at the entrance of the block in

day had failed. Mattox mad been
with the company for three years.

THE TRANSFERS UNION
WAR IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-The dissensions
which for the last year have prevail
ed in the ranks of the Teamsters'
Union here, today were carried into
the trial of Cornelius P. Shea, VINO
in company with sixteen other men
is on trial for alleged conspiracy in
connection with the great teamsters'
strike of June, 1905. Albert Young,
former president of the Teamsters'
Union, William Kelly, business agt.
of the coal teamsters, and William
Murphy said to be a member of the
"wrecking crew. during the strike,
withdrew their pleas of not guilty,
and entered pleas of guilty. All of
the men declared their intention of
turning states evidence The incident
caused intense excitement in the
court room and took the other de-
PENDANTS entirely by surprise.
Shea and Young had for years been
close friends and worked through a
number of strikes side by side. Since
Union, however, they have been op-
posed to eacn other. A recess until
this afternoon was requested by the
defense and granted. The trouble
between Young and Shea resulted
from the efforts of the former to Sc
cure the presidency of the Interna-
tional Teamsters' Union.
Young represented the element in
the union that opposed Shea and
was dissatisfied with mis- method of
conducting the Chicago strike. Shea
was reelected. and Young then org
anized a rival union which is known
as the United Teamsters of America.
Since the creation of the latter body
there has been bitter strife between
the teamsters, and assaults and
fights on the streets have occurred
frequently.

ESCAPE FROM JAIL.

New York, Nov. 30.-Ten of the
most desperate prisoners in the coun-
ty Jail at Long Island City escaped
from that institution and are still at
large. The first four prisoners to get
out sawed the bars of their cells and
of a window opening into the corri-
dor of the Jail at 2:30 this morning.
Once in the yard they had only to
climb the fence and were free. the
absence of the men and the saving
of the bars was unnnoticed when
the keepers opened the cell doors
and allowed the other prisoners to
come into the corridor at six this
morning. Six of the prisoners immed-
lately crawled through the hole in
the window.

telephone wire was burned in two,
and the house of Tom Malone was
scorched by the hot wire. Telephones
were set to ringing in many locali-

was the burning out of the phones

almost knocked him down. Going out

the building by jerking the wire
loose from it's ground connection and
