VIII Relieve Money Market.
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou,
according to the New York Times, has de-
cded again to come to the relief of the
money market and distribute government
funds to aid the movement of crops this
year.
The plan pursued last year is to be fol-
lowed, with some notifications, but in
general it will be that adopted by Secre-
tary Shaw in his regime. One of the
ideas in the minds of the officers of the
Treasury Department is that the govern
ment should place its funds In the banks
subject to withdrawal by check
1t is not expected that anything like
the amount needed last year will be called
for this season If it is the treasury viii
be in better shape to meet the call, as
under an act Of the last Congress customs
receipts may be deposited in the banks.
Under the new method the customs re-
ceipts will be used for the relief of the
smaller institutions, while the larger fund
will be sent to the centers of distribution.
New York will, as in the past, get a large
share of the amount to be released.

CATASTROPHE ON INTERURBAN.
Cars Meet in Head-On Collision Near
Charleston, III.

Thirteen persons were killed and sew
enty-six injured so badly that their recov-
cry is not expected, in a head-on collision
between a train, consisting of a motor
car and trailer, and an empty express car
on the Charleston and Nation interur-
ban line at 10 80 o'clock Friday morning
one mile west of Charleston, Ill. Both
cars we've running at high speed and met
as they were rounding a sharp curve. The
impact was deafening. The train was
telescoped by the express car and both
were reduced to a tangled mass of wood
and iron. The passengers had not mo-
ment's warning of danger and were killed
or injured without opportunity to save
themselves. The scene of suffering and
death that followed was appalling. The
dead and dying were damned together in
q mass, while many less seriously injured
lay near by. A confusion of orders re-
ceived over the telephone is said to be
responsible for the catastrophe.
