A CROSSING HORROR.
Train of Wild Cars Strikes Trolley
Loaded with Workmen and Four
Men Are MangIed to Death.

A cut Of wild cars shifted by
Southern freight engine crashed into
= crowded street car at the crossing
at Twenty seventh street and First
avenue in Birmingham, Ala, about
7:15 o'clock Friday night, with the
result that four people were instant
ly killed and many others badly in
iaTsd.
TIE car struck was trailer filled
with people returning to their homes
at East Lake. The trailer is reserved
for men who wish to smoke, and no
women We're on it. The trailer Was
turned completely over, and pushed
for some distance.
The Twenty-seventh street crossing
is a veritahle death trap, more than
a dozen accidents having happened
there. 1t is at a number Of furnaces,
among them being those of the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron company. The
street cars at this point have to
cross about a dozen tracks, those OF
the Louisville and Nashville, the
Southern and other roads.
The engineer of the freight train,
r. L. Carnes, says that he had d
heavy train Of coal cars, and that the
cut broke loose accidentally and struck
the street car.
The judge has actively aided the
police in the capture of Italian law
breakers recently.
Judge Corese was 4S years OF age,
and vi italian descent. His office was
at % Passaic street. His son, Robert,
received the Internal machine, which
came from Newark. and was delivered
by an American Express wagon. Rob-
ert handed the package to his father,
who removed the outside wrapper. III
side was another wrapper Of paper,
made fast with a strap. The judge
rested the package on the desk and
pulled the end of the strap toward
him, so as to loosen the tongue OF
the buckle. The moment he did so
there was an explosion.
A hole 6 feet square was torn in
The floor, and at the desk was driven
down into the cellar and torn to
pieces. The boy was hurled into a
rornor and seriOusly bruised and
burned.
Judge Corese had both legs and
both arms broken, his face and body
torn and lacerated, and his back ap-
parently broken. He was removed to
St. Josepn's hospital, where his ante
mortem statement was made.

Women Excluded from Court.

The features of Monday in the Ilaw
trial were the exclusion of women
from the court room and the state
5nent of DR.. Wagner, an alienist, bas-
cd on a hypothetical question, that
Thaw did not know his acr was wrong
when he killed Stanford White.
During the two days of last week,
when Evelyn Nesbit T'haw was on
the witness stand, New York women
crowded the. court room, having in
some manner solved the problem OF
getting past the bailiff at the door.
Monday morning the women stormed
the portals again. but In vain.
Their indignation knew no bounds
when the court officers repuised them
with the statement that the courts
order excluded every one except such
as were working newspaper reporters.

SOUTH WILL GET SHARE.
RockefelIer's Mammoth Gift Will Be
Widely Distributed.

A New York dispatch says: Fred
erick T. Gates. chairman of the gen.
eral education board to which John
d. Rockefeller gave ss2,0c0,00o few
days ago, says that the income from
this Gift and the income from Mr.
Rockefellers prior gift of Sl1,000,00O
will be used to increase the resources
of various educational institutions in
this country within the next decade,
by from s2OO,ooO,0Oo to s25o,0e0,v0o.
This is to say. the board will aim to
stimulate local pride in and generos-
ity toward public institutions and
colleges throughout the nation, and its
distribution of the income will usual
ly be conditioned upon the raising OF
larger amounts by the recipient.
!, 1t is understood that the idea Of
the elder Rockefeller is to make his
future benefactions through MS son.
This is said to be indicated by his
having made the gift of last Thurs
day through the junior Rockefeller.
1t is probable that the younger Rookie
teller will devote most of his time
hereafter to administering the Dele-
violence of his father. AS an imme-
diare result of this big gift, the board
will extend its agricultural demon
stration work to all of the Southern
states. 1t is predicted that this work,
which consists in conducting model
farms on educational lines, will mean
the agricultural regeneration Of the
South.

With Gross Mismanagement
and Crooked Dealing.

The South Carolina state senate,
Saturday, by vote OF q to Is, pass
ed the Carey bill abolishins the state
dispersary system and substituting a
local option system between county
cispensaries and prohibition.
This ENDS sou1h Cardinals expert
ment of II years with the state dis
pensary system of handling whiskey
and is a distinct defeat for the dis
pensary element which has mad lne
leadership of Senator Tillman.
The house has already passed the
local option bill by a large majority
and the bill will become law as soon
as signed by Governor AnSel, who
Was elected on platform carrying
out this local option idea.
Governor Ansel at once removed
from Office the three members OF the
state dispensary board who were &C.
cused by the legislative committee
OF gross mismauagement and illegal
purchase of whiskey.
These members are J. M. Rawling-
son. of Richland; ]. B. Wylie, OF
Chester, and John " Black, of Col
letcn.
The removal came only few days
before the board would be removed
from Office by the bill abolishing the
dispersary, which the legislature has
passed.

Is Disgusting Details of No.
torious ThaW Case.
PRESIDENT MAKES MOVE
Roosevelt Orders Postmaster General
CorteIyou, if Feasible, to Shut Out
Papers Publishing Scandaious,
and Demoralizing Stuff

A Washington special says: Monday
President Roosevelt called upon rhe
postmaster general, according to Of
fetal announcement made at the
white house. Ito know whether 1t
is feasible to bar from the mails the
newspapers that give the full disgust
ing particulars of the Thaw case. He
does not know whether it is feasible,
but if it is, he wishes it done"
The presidents letter was referred
to Assistant Attorney General Gooa-
win of the postoftice department, Tor
a legal opinion. If anything is done
it is expected that it will be
done promptly, though Judge Goodwin
is now out of town.
The president, in directing the at
tention Of the postmaster general to
the reports OF the Thaw case, did so
without knowledge Of the latter's SELL
timents, but had in view, evidently,
the federal statute forDidding the
sending through the mails OF ''lewd,
lascivlous and obscene matter"
Unquestionably the work OF censor
ing rhe daily newspapers of the coun-
try would be attended with many diff
ficulties and possibly daily legal con-
tests would result over whether or
not newspapers had complied with
the postoftice regulations in printing
certain evidence adduced at the tria:.
The present force Of postofice inspec-
tors would have their hands full as
at least one inspector would be needed
in each city where daily newspapers
are published. Whether or not legal
action follows the presidents action,
he has placed himself on record as
condelnning the stories published.
Since the Thaw trial began the New
York papers have been excluded from
the library in the white house. Upon
being interviewed in regard to the
presidents inquiry Postmaster Gene.
raj Cortelyou declined to make any
statement concerning any action that
might be taken or to say that any
such proposition was under considera.
tion.
President Roosevelt received a num-
ber of protests from persons who
think that the newspapers printing
the full details of the Thaw case
should he prohibited transmission
through the mails. One Of these Was
& long, relegraphic protest from a
newspaper, the name of which, how
ever, was not given out at the white
house. The recent discussion OF the
question in Canada notably in the
Canadian parliament and the state
ment of the postmaster general
at Ottawa, who was reported
! TO have said that any news
paper publishing such evidence as
that given in the Thaw case of last
Thursday would be guilty of a misde-
meanor under the Canadian law, also
was brought to the attention Of the
president.
