TRAINS CRASH IN DENSE FOG.
Five Trainmen Killed in Collision
Near Lenox, Mich,

DETROIT, Mich, December 2S.-Speed-
ing through dense fog at forty miles
an hour. Grand Trunk passenger train
No. 8. which left Port Huron shortly be-
for Z, o'clock last night for this city. COL
lided head-on with a double-header
freight train one-half mile north of Lenox,
Mich. Five trainmen met death, four be-
ing killed instantly, the fifth dying three
hours later. All of the passengers es-
capped injury except baby, who was only
slightly hurt by being thrown out of its
mothers arms and over a seat when the
trains crashed.
The dead are: Engineer Bennett of the
passenger. Engineer Bohowski of the first
freight engine. Fireman Boughner, Fire
man Albert Mccall and Switchman w. G,
Taylor.
The passenger locomotive plowed under
the engines of the double-header and the
trainmen were buried in the wreckage
Their bodies were terribly mangled and
scalded by the escaping steam.
Engineer Fred Haug and Fireman
Washburn of the second freight engine
escaped death. Haug was caught in his
cab but was taken out unhurt. Wash
burn jumped and was only slightly in
jured.
All the dead trainmen lived in Detroit.
The freight train had switched from the
main track to a siding to allow the pas
senger to pass. It is unoff1cially charged
that the switch was not properly closed.
and on account of the heavy fog which
prevailed the passenger could not see
that the target was set against it.

JAPANESE LABOR PROBLEM
BELIEVED A SATISFACTORY So
LUTON HAS BEEN REACHED.
Conferences eBtween Ambassador
O'Brien and the Foreign Of \
fee in Toxic.

TOXIC, December 2S.-A discussion of
the Japanese governsaent.s program and
method of limitation of emigration has
begun between the foreign office and
American Ambassador O'Brien.
Immediately after the departure of Ca
madam Minister of Labor Lemieux
Baron Chinda, vice minister of foreign
affairs, drove to the American embassy
from the station and discussed the Ameri-
can proposals and suggestions offered by
Ambassador O'Brien for the help of the
Japanese government. 1t Is understood
that the discussion was eminently salts
factory and that a memorandum in the
form of a reply will soon be forthcom-
ing.
1t is quite evident now that the Japa-
nese government recognizes that the mis-
takes of administration on the part OF
a minor official in the past created the
present difficult situation, and is deter
mined that the future restriction of emf
grafton will make complaints from the
American government and people impos-
sible. The difficulty of dealing with the
possibility of emigrants going over the
borders of Canada and Mexico is now
occupying much attention because it is
recognized that while the possibility con-
tinues 1t will not be possible to prevent
a recurrence of complaints

wealthy parents in the east. came here
today. accompanied by John Frick of
Shamokin, who. married their sister.
Adams had not seen his prodigal brothe r
for years. and. after viewing the black
ened corpse, said he could not have identi-
fed 1t. The body was not in condition
to ship, and was buried here.

AT PINE KNOT, VA
PRESIDENT ENJOYS FIRST HUNT
FOR WILD TURKEY.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, December
2S.-For the first time since he spent
fortnight in the canebrakes of northern
Louisiana in October President Roosevelt
shouldered a gun yesterday afternoon and
went in quest of-not bear-but the elu-
sive wild turkey. With Uncle Dick
Mcdaniel, the faithful colored servant at
Plain Dealing. guide, a start from
Pine Knot was made at 2 o'clock di-
rectly after lunch was served. The Presi-
dent was mounted on one of the best
stations owned by Wilmer. The scene
of the hunt was nearly five miles south
east of Pine Knot on mountain spur
across Hardware river.
Just what success the President met
with could not be learned. as he had not
been seen to pass Glendower up to 6
o'clock. That hour the telephone exchange
closed at that point.
Assistant Secretary to the President Nc
Grew and Secret Service Guard Sloan
who left for Pine Knot yesterday to
consult with the President. after receiving
telegram from the White House, re-
turned to Charlottesville today and went
at once to the telegraph office with a
message to the White House from the
President.
Neither would state the nature of the
matter that required the Presidents at
tention nor would they say what luck
the President had on his hunt yesterday.
A telephone message from Glendower
states that the President was seen out
driving this morning with Mrs. Roosevelt.
Astonished the Driver.
In his ride over to Pine Knot from
North Garden Thursday afternoon the
President astonished the driver by alight-
ing when only half of the journey had
been completed and footing it, the re-
manning distance-five miles. Accompany
ing the President was Kermit. That the
pedestrians made good time was shown
by the fact that the trap containing Mrs.
Roosevelt and sister. on the return jour-
ney, passed the President at the rectory,
less than a mile from the hunting lodge.
Yesterday morning the President amused
himself by watching the beagles from
the White House kennels chase rabbits
in the hedge fields near Pine Knot. DR..
Rixey and Kermit had their guns with
them and bagged several hares. The
clouds of the morning disappeared and
as there had been a slight drop in temper
ature, the. indications were that the
President would have another good day
today to spend in the open.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her. sister, Miss
Carew, accompanied by DIR. Rixey and
Mr.. Joseph Wilmer, went for bracing
drive yesterday afternoon on the splen-
did macadam road leading to Green noun
tain.
