40 KILLED, over 100 INJURED
Train Of Empty Passenger Cars Crash Into Frederick
Accommodation.
THREE PASSENGER COACHES SMASHED TO SPtlNIERS
The Wreck Occurred at Terra Gotta Station On
The Metropolitan Branch OF 3. 6 u

Washington Especially AN appall-
Ing disaster occurred Sunday night
At Z O'Clock on the Baltimore and
xhio Railroad at Terra Gotta, about
fhree miles from this city, in which
ESout 40 persons were killed and
Over 100 injured, some OF them So
seriously that they will die.
The accident was caused by the col
lission of Train No. Sc, due mere at
6.25 P. M. from Frederick. Nd
Enown as the Frederick Special, with
. deadhead passenger equipment
special of eight cars
It is said that the engineer OF the
empty train had failed to see the
red signal indicating that another
train was in the block, and plunged
ahead on the mission of death !.
Over 200 passengers were aboard
the i'll fated train. AS soon as the
news of the wreck reached this city
all ambulances availaDlo with as
many physicians as could be assem-
bled were sent to the scene.
Trainmen Arrested.
The danger signal at Takoma Park,
q short distance from the scene OF the
accident. was set when the train OF
emnieapassed The train was going
aAN hte of so miles an hour, and
Hildebrand stated that on
acc0UntSbf the heavy fog he could not
see the signal. His train ran into
the Frederick train just as 1t was
pulling out of Terra Gotta, where 1t
had stopped to take ON four or nve
passengers; two of these were among
the killed.
Several persons standing on the
train platform at Terra Gotta were
killed.
Both Engineer Hildebrand and the
fireman on the train of empty cars
were placed under arrest and brought
to Washington in the charge of Off
GERS.
Telephone messengers were sent
to the city and ambulances were
quickly dispatched to the scene from
the Soldiers Home and all the hos
pitfalls. Superintendent Sylvester also
ordered out the police reserves. A
specially equipped train was quickly
made up also, but did not get back
to the city with the injured until 9
o'clock.
Fog Hid Signals.
A dense fog and drizzing rain
prevailed throughout the day and
night and to the inability of the en-
gineer of the rear train to see the
signal showing that another train was
in the block is attributed the cause
of the accident. The grade at the
place where the disaster occurred is
downward and the tracks were slip
perry.
The Frederick train, which is run
on Sundays only, is largely for the &C
comodation of those who have gone
into the suburbs on Sunday, and for
the benefit of churchgoers who de-
sire to attend services in Washington

of the latter were on the train. II

noon, and Is scheduled to reach Terra
Gotta about 6.15 o'clock. The train
was about on time when the crash
came.
At first, owing to the impenetrable
fog, it was impossible to determine
the extent of the disaster, and early
rumors placed the number of killed
at higher figures than those which
proved later to be accurate

Belgrade, Servia (By Cable.) -
The National Assembly finally has
accepted the Loan and Armament
Bills, which were sent for signature
to King Peter. The debate on these
measures was attended by disorderly
scenes on the part of members of the
Assembly, arising from the opening
expression of sentiment against the
present Karageorgevitch dynasty.
which gave rise to reports in German
and Austrian quarters of q move
ment to dethrone King Peter.
Following the street disorders of
the last few days, the occurrences
in the chamber have added to the
seriousness of the present situation.
The King is at present confronted
with many difficult problems, not
the least of which is the renewed
activity of the supporters of the late
King Alexander and Queen Draga,
who were murdered the night OF
June 1911, 1903, and the popular
ill-feeling aroused by the recent es-
capades of George, the Crown
Prince.
One of the deputies opposed the
loan on the ground that the members
of the reigning family would per-
sonally pocket a large proportion of
it, and the final debates brought out
antidynastic demonstrations, in which
number of riotous students sus-
tanned serious injuries. Premier
Pasics has received a number of
threatening letters, intimating that
the present dynasty will meet fate
similar to that of it's predecessor.

HOW TO KEEP FROM FREEZING.
Diet Is Of the Greatest Importance Ia
Cold Weather.


Cold Weather.
Again and again." said a pnysi-
clan to Baltimore Sun writer, ex-
perience shows how much easier it is
to persuade people TO add something
than to deprive themselves of some
thing with a view to cure. You can
induce more individuals to take drugs
for the relief of Indigestion than to
avoid the foods that cause indigestion:
you can induce more individuals to
take tea or coffee or something else
than merely to refrain from alcohol
You can induce more to perform anti
obesity exercises and sweat In Turk
ish or Russian baths than to abstain
from fattening foods and drinks.
And so it Is with the search Tor
warmth in winter. People will read
lily add something--coal TO the fire,
thick clothes TO the skin, heating
liquids and solids to the stomach, vio-
lent breathing, waving of the arms
and stampings of the feet, and alasl
STIFFNESS to the atmosphere Of the
room; they win not readily make and
keep their whole bodies clean and
healthy by avoiding the foods that
clog them and impede their circula-
ton.
How simple IL sounds in theory.
how effective 1t is in practice when
people will consent to try it.
II remember how beautifully warm
and comfortable | was in Seattle last
winter when the thermometer was 20
degrees below zero. True. the air was
dry and crisp. But that did not keep
the majority Of the people from feel
ing frozen. My sensation of warmth
was not due to my clothes, for wore
only thin socks. cotton undershirt,
thin linen shirt and no overcoat, The
secret OF the sensation was that my
diet was at that time pure. II was
just precisely what needed TO keep
! me thoroughly fit. avoided what
would have clogged me; | chose what
fed me.
But never induced any OF my
friends to initiate my example. They
turned on the heat, shut the windows,
piled on the clothes, ate and drank
more than usual, and--and continued
to feel cold"
