dip and shot into a dark tunnel. The point
Of the accident wa a little below the ground
level. The cars crashed through a himsy
wall Of the tunnel and finally brought up
against timber supports. There were about
twenty persons in the cars and they were all
thrown in a heap.
The big crowd outside did not zee the
cars leave the track. but heard the crash
and the screams Of the men and women.
Hundreds Of persons rushed for the
entrance, swept the gate keepers aside
and started to pull the injured out Of the
TUNE
Somebody telephoned news Of the acct
dentlto Police Captain Langan, who brought
over a dozen men in a hurry. He backed
the crowd outside the scenic railway gates
and had his men carry the injured into the

Special Cable Despatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, July ia story has been
current for the last few days that two
brothers, students at Eton, being threat
ened with kidnapping are being protected
by detectives. 1t is now stated that they
are Sir Albert and George Naylor-Leland,
sons OF the late Sir Herbert Inc Lady Nay
lor-Leland, who was formerly Miss Cham
berlsin OF Cleveland, Ohio
The most conflicting reports are in cir
cu~lation. varying from an absolute denial
Of the whole story to the hveliest sensa-
ton. The Chronicle quotes the mother
as admitting that detectives had been en-
ployed to watch a strange man who was
lurking suspiciously at Eton. a circum-
stance which made her ~nervous, but she
contradicted the assertion that her soma
were guarded.
Nothing is obtainable ~ Eton. where
the masters and boys are sworn to secrecy
The Naylor-Lelands are heirs TO a large
fortune, which they will receive when
they como Of age. IL is a coincidence that
Amelia Chetwynd, a little girl who figured
in a notorious kidnapping case in 1905, is q
cousin Of these boys. the elder Of whom is
godson VI the King.

CHURCHES IGNORE FAIRBANKS.
Indiana Methodists show No ncIination

Two churches in this city have selected

among the Methodists Of the city that some
Of the Vioe-President's friends desired that
he should go as a delegate, but the fact was
ignored in the selection Of delegates to the
Indiana body.
The Rev. Henry {. Clippinger. pastor OF
the Edwin Ray Methodist Church. said to-
day that he did not believe in instTucting
delegates 10 religious bodies or making
campaigns for positions. Il think the
dele ga tes ought to represent their churches
without their hands being tied by instruc-
tons, " said he.
The Roberts Park Methodist Church also
selected it's delegate without reference 10
MIR. Fairbanks, and Delegate Tutewiber
said to-day that he would go to the con-
ference perfectly free to select the man
best equipped for q%uadrennial delegate.
II is admitted in Methodist circles that there
is opposition to Mr.. Fairbanks because OF
the cocktail episode at his home, and some
Of the churches are ignoring his desire 10
go as a quadrennial delegate because they
don't want 10 stir up dissension or give
