THIRTY-TWU DEAD IN WRECK.
ShrIners' Special on Southern Pacific
Struck a Defective Switch.

Santa Barbara, May 13.- - Thirty.
two dead and a score injured com.
prise the casualties due to the wreck
at Honda Saturday of the Ismailia spe-
cial train of New York and Pennsyl-
vania Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine,
who were returning home from the an
nual meeting of the Imperial council Of
the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine at
Los Angeles.
The train carrying 145 Shriners and
friends from Ismailia temple, Buffalo,
Rajah temple, Reading, Pa, and
neighboring cities, was running north
at so miles an hour on the Southern
Pacific Coast line when the locomo-
tive struck defective switch at the
sand swept siding at Honda near the
Pacific ocean, along which the railroad
runs for a 100 miles north of Santa
Barbara.
The locomotive turned somersault
into the sands. The cars landed on
the wrecked locomotive and the
coaches were crushed and took fire.
The flames were soon extinguished by
uninjured persons from the two rear
coaches.
The dining car, in which were 80
persons eating luncheon, bounded into
the air and fell directly on the de-
moished locomotive. Nearly every
person in the dining car was immedi-
ately killed. Scores were scalded by
steam escaping from disconnected
pipes
Rajah temple of Reading, Pa, had
| the last car on the train and its men,
bers were the last ones to go forward
| to the dining car. Thus the car was
filled almost entirely with Reading
people when the wreck occurred.

Fire Wiped Out so Years Profit.

President George w. Burchell Of
the national board of underwriters
said that the San Francisco confla-
grafton in the month of April, 1906,
swept away not only every dollar of
profit previously made by the insur-
ance companies out of underwriting
since 1860 but cost them S79,70S.174
besides. Mr.. Burchell also said that
carefully compiled figures showed
the total property loss by the catastro-
phe to have been in round numbers
S350,000000. The loss to 243 insur-
ance companies was $175, 5,50S,536, and
in addition to this there was a large
amount of reinsurance in foreign COM
panies which would make the total loss
to insurance companies throughout
the world between $220,0OO,OOO and
1926, 900 900.

Duchy Of Alsace-Lorralne.

Berlin, May IA. -- Herr Arendt, a
member of the reichstag, suggests In
Der Tag that Alsace-Lorraine should
be made an Independent duchy, with
Prince Eitel Friedrich, second son of
the kaiser, as the first grand duke.
The uncertain constitutional status of
Alsace-Lorralne would then cease and
Frenchmen would see once for all
that they must abandon hope of ever
regaining the province.

DEMAND FOR WHEAT.
Rush Of Buying Orders on the
Chicago Board.
General Opinion That Advance Is
Based on Natural Conditions That
Are Certain to CurtaiI Worlds Com.
Ing crop-Late Seeding In Canadian
Northwest---Gloom Russian Reports.

Chicago, May 14.-In the most sen.
Jational opening in the history of the
Chicago Board of Trade, wheat yes
terday shot past the dollar mark.
Heavy realizing sales pushed the price
backwards, but at the close the market
was strong. According to the majority
of spectators on the board, the de-
mand is still unsatisfied. The net ad-
vance yesterday for wheat was 4
cents for July and September options
and Az cents for the December option.
From the low point on Monday of
last week July wheat has advanced
1870. September has gone up 15A
In the December option the high point
was 16si above the low price of last
Monday.
The rush of buying orders seemed to
come from almost every town in the
United States situated along a tele-
graph wire. They came from Winnipeg
and from Louisiana and from points
on the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards.
Professional traders we're of the opin-
ion that the opening was a little too Wig
orous. and as soon therefore as trade
steadied trine millions of bushels
were thrown upon the market in real
izing sales.
AS a result the advance for a time
was checked. But the buying orders
still poured in and the market again
scared. Again long wheat brought
about reaction, and again the country
buyers forced prices up. The situation
was too strong for any man or clique
of men to stem. The country at large
seemed determined to buy at whatever
price 1t could be had.
There were no reports in any direc-
tion that the market was being mani
pulated. The general opinion seemed
to be that the advance was based upon
natural conditions which are certain to
curtail in large degree the worlds
coming crop of wheat. Advices from
all parts of the West and Northwest
confirmed previous reports of damage
by weather and by insects. In ad-
dition, kilograms from the Canadian
Northwest declared that there was
still no likelihood of seeding in that re-
gion and that every days delay meant
the loss of thousands of acres that
foh Oth hau 20
wheat.
Cablegrams reported the market at
Liverpool and Budapest as being in
highly excited condition with prices
advancing strongly. Liverpool was de-
clared to be affected by gloomy reports
from Russia and it was the belief of
many prominent commission men that
Europe will be forced to buy heavily in
the American market, and that the
American market, instead of being
able to meet this demand, will be
scarcely strong enough to supply such
wheat as it needed for home consump.
tion.
Such prominent traders as William
H. Bartlett and James A. Patton de-
clared that the conditions warranted
the sensational advance in prices.
They said that the wheat problem
this year will be a difficult one for
European buyers to solve. Among
smaller traders predictions We're made
that before the present advance has
stopped July wheat will certainly go
over s1.25 and possibly as high as
S1.50

INCREASED INTEREST
IN REVIVAL SERVICES
Friday Night Was One of Much
Significance.
SERVICES TONIGHT ALSO.

Friday night was the big night at
the Christian church revival services.
At the conclusion of the sermon there
were three people who came forward
TO present themselves to Christ. Then
the services were concluded and the
people had become engaged in a gen
eral visitation when Mr. Limit called
the congregation to order and announ-
ced that one was ready to confess
Christ. This confession was received
and the people had resumed their
talking when Prof. Albert Jones an
nounced that another was ready to
make confession Again this one was
received amid rejoicing. This mani
festation of interest is unusual at this
stage of the meeting and all things
are now propitious for the greatest
revival ever enjoyed by this local con-
gregation. The eyangelists are de
lighted with the prospects before them
and pastor and people confidently re
~ upon their Judgment of the situa-
ton.
The Rev. Allen Wilson has as his
subject Friday night. Sowing and
Reaping." The great chorus did its
