HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Twenty People Killed and 26
More Injured Near Canaan, N. H.

A fearfully fatal head-on collision
between the southbound Quebec
express and a northbound freight
train on the Concord division of the
Boston & Maine railroad occurred
four miles north of Canaan station
early Sunday. due to a mistake in
train dispatcher's orders, and from
demolished passenger coach there
were taken % dead and dying and
rs other passengers more or less
wounded. Nearly all those who
were in the fatal car were returning
from a fair at Sherbrooke, Que,
100 miles north. The conductor of
the freight train was given to I'M
derstand that he had plenty of ii ne
to reach siding by the night ope-
rator at Canaan station, receiving,
according to the superintendent of
the division, copy of a telegraph
order from the train dispatcher at
Concord which confused the train
numbers 80 and "a.
The wreck occurred just after the
express had rounded into straight
stretch of track, but owing to the
early morning mist neither engineer
saw the others headlight until it
was too late.
The accident was not without it's
heroes and one of these was Frank
Ryan, brakeman on the express
Ryan was caught in the wreck and
had an artery severed. He was I'M
conscious for nearly Is minutes and
when he regained his senses, his
first thought was of the Montreal
express, which he knew was thund-
erlng down on the wreck with NO
brakemen in the rear to wave a
warning signal. In few husky
words Ryan told of the approaching
danger and the Montreal express
vas stopped only quarter of mile
from the rear of the wrecked train.
The passengers on the Montreal
xpress also assisted in the work OF
rescue and the care of the wounded
nAmong the West C.Jaaan farmers
w'no aided was Benjaman Briggs,
who was one of the first at the scene,
and two hours later he drew out of
the wreck the body of a woman.
On turning over the body Mr.. Briggs
looked into the face of his mother,
and almost collapsed with grief.
Mrs. Briggs had been visiting
friends i'm the north and was on her
way to Boston.

 For the rest it was a day of reading with Senator Borah as reader. Judge Wood admitted many of the strongly worded articles of the Miners Maga- zine in which Steunenberg was bit terly denounced and one after another Borah read them to the jury. These were admitted as showing animus oi the federation officials against Steun- enberg and as showing animus against Justices Goddard and Gabbert of the supreme court of Colorado. whom Or chard swore he tried many times to kill
 To practically every piece of testi- mony offered during the day the de- fense first offered an objection. then made a motion to strike out. and last ly took an exception on record. To all evidence connected with the gen eral conspiracy alleged by the state. the objections of the defense included propositions that the acts shown were not binding on the defendant, and that they were not connected with the Steunenberg murder. and there was frequent objection to the evidence of fered to corroborate the testimony of Orchard. the alleged accomplice. in the manner provided by statute.

A DOUBLE HEADER
 STAGE ROBBERY
A Lone Yosemite Bandit Waited Un- til He Got Enough of Them Together to Make 1t Worth While.

Wawona, Calif., June 20.-Two regu- lar stages from Raymond bound for Wawona owned by the Yosemite Stage company were held up and sixteen passengers relieved of their valuables yesterday by the Black Kid" the fa- nous lone bandit of the Yosemite
 The holdup occurred in Madeira county yesterday in the same locality selected by the bandit on former sue cessful attempts at robbery. The att tention of Driver Turner was called to a man who stood at the side of the road with an old rusty rifle leveled at his head. He called upon Turner to stop and then commanded the pas sengers to hold up their hands. The bandit asked Turner where the other stage was and he was told that it was following. When the second stage ap- peared he commanded all the passen- ger to do the same.
 The bandit singled out Francis s. Eaton of Boston, to pass the hat de- manding of the frightful passengers their purses and watches. After hav- ing made collection Eaton was com pelled to tie the wealth consisting of several articles of jewelry and s250 in cash in a handkerchief and pass it to the robber. The robber compelled Mrs. Eaton to stand behind him thus using her as a shield from an attack from the rear.
 The robber helped himself to peach es. potatoes and crackers from the stage remarking that he had a hard night before him. When he had fin ished he ordered the passengers back into the stages and commanded the drivers to go on, which order was somewhat of relief. as they had been standing in the road with their hands over their heads for more th>n half an hour.
 From the descriptions he is no doubt the man who stopped the stages in 1905 and in July and September last year at which latter time he permitted a tourist to photograph him.

LIKE OPIUM EATERS Coffee Drinkers Become Slaves.

"The experience, suffering and slav- cry of some coffee drinkers would be almost as interesting as the famous Confessions of an Opium Eater" says a Boston man.
 For twenty years I used coffee at the breakfast table and incidentally. through the day, I craved it as a whiskey drinker longs for his morning bracer. I knew perfectly we'll that it was slowly killing me. but I could not relinquish it.
 The effect on the nervous system was finally alarming and my general health greatly impaired. I had dys- pepsia, serious heart difficulty. and insomnia. When I would lie down. would almost suffocate. My doctor assured me it was due to the action of caffeine (which is the active principal of coffee) on the heart.
 "I persisted in its use, however. and suffered along just as drunkards do. One day when I was feeling unusually depressed, friend whom I met. look ed me over and said: Now, look here. old man. I believe I know exactly what's the matter with you. You are d coffee fiend and it's killing you. I want to tell you my experience. I drank coffee and it ruined my nerves. affected my heart, and made me a sallow, bilious old man. but through a friend who had been similarly afflict- ed, I found a blessed relief and want to tell you about it. Try Postum Food Coffee, grateful. delicious bev- craze. full of nourishment, that will satisfy your taste for coffee and feed your nervous system back to health, rather than tear it down as coffee has been doing
 'T took my friends advice, and with in a week from that time. my diges- i ton seemed perfect, I slept a sweet, refreshing sleep all night. and my heart quit its quivering and jumping have been steadily gaining in health and vitality right along" There's a Reason

REBELLION
 IS BLAZING In the French Wine Grow.
 ing Districts
An Alarming State of Af- fairs Likely to Break the Government.

Paris. June 20.-Owing to the cen- sorship in the south, only brief items ,f-the news of the wine growers demonstrations reached Paris up to this afternoon These however. show ed that the conflicts between the troops and mob were more sanguin- ary than was at first supposed.
 At Narbonne. three persons were killed, and fully hundred soldiers and civilians, including a score of wo- men, are said to have been wounded, several fatally. The troops who were ordered to fire in the air, shot straight at the mob, besieging them in the courtyard of the sub-prefecture.
 In the chamber today, after a tu- multuous scene during which Premier Clemenceau was addressed in insulting terms for an interpolation of govern ment on oppressive measures towards the wine growers. action was post poned until tomorrow. when the fate of the cabinet may be decided. The premier said he had a particular de- sire to remain in power.
 A whole army corps has been put in motion to deal with the rebellious
 
 claims that the forces are not so dis tributed as to isolate different sec tions and render it practically impos- sible to effect a general mobilization of disaffected people. Three of the Agelliers committeeman who yesterday fled to escape arrest, surrendered to the authorities today and were jailed at Montpelier.
 It was officially announced today, that. owing to the occurrences of last night in the south of France, the pres ident after consultation with the king of Siam. has decided to postpone fes- tivities arranged in the kings honor, and consequently the banquet arrang ed for this evening at the Elysee Pal ace has been postponed.
 The newspapers report another at tempt to burn the sub-prefecture at Narbonne. The mob piled straw at the gates and set fire to it. The gendarmes fired from the upper stories and the attackers fled. It was announced that there has been further shooting in the streets of Narbonne and many persons have been wounded.
 Narbonne is reported as presenting a remarkable spectacle. Paving stones were used in the assault upon troops and to cucumber the streets. Walls were marked with bullets. windows were broken. cafes were wrecked. the furniture having been used for building barricades. Broken bottles were used as clubs and the litter in the streets was everywhere. Many of the wound ed are suffering from gunshot wounds or sabre gashes. or from fractured skulls or limbs.

MIR. SCHMITZS
 TWO REASONS
Why He Should Be Re.
 leased on Bail
One of Them is that He will Die Where He Is, in the County Jail.

San Francisco. June 20-Mayor Schmitz's attorneys. late this afternoon applied to the district court Of appeals for the release of the mayor on bail, by habeas corpus.
 Sixteen showings were made in the petition. and at least one of. them is decidedly sensational. It was the declaration by the attorneys that the mayor is suffering from an incurable disease and that his imprisonment in jail will cause his death. It is under stood that the disease referred to is an affection of the kidneys that has advanced to a serious stage This will greatly surprise the mayors ac- quaintances who always looked on him as the embodiment of physical vigor
 The prosecution alleges that the sec tion of the penal code under which the mayor was ordered into custody is un- constitutional. and that the prisoner is deprived of his liberty without due process of law. The petition alleges that the Imprisonment of the mayor is in furtherance of the conspiracy by Rudolph Spreckels and others through their coercive power over the board of supervisors, to usurp the office of mayor and secure full political control of the affairs of San Francisco by re- moving all appointive officers and by arbitrary, illegal and revolutionary means.
 By reason of the grave serious ques- tions that must arise from carrying out such a scheme the petitioner urges that the facts alleged constitute such extraordinary circumstances as will justify the court, as a matter of dis cretion in admitting the petitioner to bail.

TELEGRAPH SIRIKF
 IN SAN FRANCISCO
It Will be Confined However, to That Seat of Industrial Unrest.

San Francisco. June 20.-The Chron- icle will say tomorrow: "A crisis has been reached in the fight between the telegraphers' union and the Western Union. and a strike will be declared in this city tomorrow unless the de- mands of the local union are met by the company. sam Small president of the telegraphers' union. is in the city. and will have personal charge of the fight. A committee of the union. call ed on Superintendent Jaynes of the Western Union this afternoon but car rying out the policy of the company. he refused to see them as members of the union. although he was willing to meet them as employees of the company. To this the committee would not consent. as the operators are determined to make fight on the union question.
 A meeting of the union was held at oakland tonight, at which the com mittee reported the failure to secure hearing. A new committee of five was named which will again call on Jayne tomorrow and demand hearing If this is refused strike will be call ed as soon as the leaders can get in touch with the operators which will not take long.
 The demand of the union is for an advance of 25 per cent. which is in- tended to be temporary and continue only during the present period of high prices following the fire. This demand Is purely local. affecting only the op- orators of San Francisco and oakland The fight which will open tomorrow is merely the opening skirmish in the greater battle which the operators will wage throughout the country.
 President Small said tonight after the meeting: Our plans are fully pre- pared and we will carry the fight to the halls of congress before we are through. We do not intend to declare general strike throughout the coun- try. but we will carry on a guerilla warfare which will continue until we secure justice and consideration. We will call series of local strikes in various cities which will paralyze traffic. We intend to continue the fight until congress meets, when we propose to place the whole matter in the hands of the lawmakers"
 There is some uncertainty whether or not the Postal Telegraph Company VIII be involved in the controversy. Local sentiment is that it. will not be concerned. It was announced tonight that Small stated that at 1 o'clock to- morrow the telegraph companies will make a definite announcement of their decision.

Boise, June 20.-Unlesss there should be an unforeseen delay in securing a couple of final pieces of evidence the state will tomorrow close its case against Haywood. That announce ment was made this afternoon by Sen ator Borah, one of the prosecutors, and when Clarence Darrow of the defense took up the discussion he made it very clear that directly when the state closed, he and his associates would move the court for instructions direct ing a verdict of acquittal. IL is now anticipated that the state will close by noon; that the afternoon session will be devoted to an argument of the expected motion and that if the court rules adversely on the motion, the opening statement in behalf of Hay wood will be made by Darrow on Sat- urday.
 The prosecution succeeded in again showing direct connection with the store of Pettibone in Denver, and Or chard at work on the Bradley crime in San Francisco and promises to make the Connection with Pettibone person. ally by handwriting experts who will be called tomorrow. Original records of the Postal company were produced that showed that in September and October. 1904. remittances of s97.50 and s4S respectively were made, first by U. Wolff and second by TT.

THE LAND CONVENTION
 BROUGHT 10 AN END
A Declaration Against Carrying the
 Forest Reserve Policy to Excess.

Denver. June 20.-The first public land convention came to an end this afternoon with the adoption of a series of resolutions which were not so rad ical as was expected. A letter receiv- ed from President Roosevelt was fea- ture of the days session.
 The resolution over which there was the most dispute read: We oppose any change in the existing laws and customs as to grazing live stock upon the public domain, outside the forest reserves The resolution says that experience has demonstrated the wis dom of the policy of treating the lands of the nation as public trust to be disposed of in all cases and wherever possible to actual settlers. The people of the west are unalteTably opposed to to any change in this wholesome and beneficial policy.
 Forest reserves should only be ere ated where they do not infringe upon this policy. In all cases of the right of states and the people of the state to the free and unhampered use of all waters within the forest reservations should be not only permitted but en- couraged and no charge should be i'm posed thereon.
 It is asked that congress legislate appropriately with respect to school lands in the reservations so that each state deprived of these lands may re- ceive its full quota of the lands or their equivalent. for the purpose for which they were originally intended. It is finally demanded that in states whereon forest reserves are situated and not desired any excessive reser- vations should he reduced to reason able limits whether the land restored contains timber or not.
