Bloomington, Ill.,, Feb. 20.-Is Helen
Dickson the Cassie Chadwick Of
Bloomington? M
The Mclean county grand jury adj
journed after IN exhaustive inyesN-
cation Other actions, and returned
six true bills Of Indictment, charging
embezzlement, larceny as bailee and
forgery. The action furnished a sem
sational climax to the first announces
to produce $1,000 OF the funds of the
Gleaner society of the Second Christi
Han church, Of which she was treas-
urer.
The forgery indictment is a new
feature. The Corn Belt bank made the
complaint. Some time ago she APP
peared at the bank with the announce
draft for $1,000, which she stated she
had just received as the beneficiary
of a life insurance policy on her.
AS she fumbled in her purse for the
paper she suddenly exclaimed that she
had lost it. She returned a few days
later stating that the draft could not
be found, and asked for a loan Of $125.
The bank complied.
A few weeks later h ~reappeared,
stating that the draft had not been re-
ceived, but that she needed another
$125. To ove both loans she rendered
IA note for $3.50. which she said had
been given to her by a friend, Minnie
Lemme. 1t has developed that the sig
natures, according to the bank, are for
geries.
Another sensational development to-
day was the reported discovery that
Miss Dixon's bank book, with which
she kept the accounts of the Cleaner
society, had been subjected to forged
records of deposits.

New York, Feb. 19.-Twenty-two
dead two fatally hurt and 145 others
more or less seriously injured is the
result of the wreck Of an electric ex-
Two Hundred IN Fifth street and
Webster avenue Saturday night. !
OF the large number of injured, fifty
are, according to hospital n police,
seriously hurt n the death list ma
be increased within the next twenty
four hours. Most of the others are suf-,
fering from decorations or shocks and
will recover.
The New York Central railroad Of
ficials have a list Of 1875 names of per-.
sons said to have been injured, but in
the great majority of the cases the in
consequences, and most of the persons
went at once to their homes.
The cause of the wreck is a matter
of speculation. All night Inspector
Flood, of the police Department.
Coroner Schwannecke and Assistant
with other members of the district
attorneys force e~ndeavored to ascer-
tain what brought about the derail-
ment.
At the Webster ven police station,
were eleven mangled bodies. three of
them unidentified.
While the clearings of the wreckagei
was in progress. interest turned to
what the authorities might do. Per-
haps the most significant statement
of the day was one made to the AS
sociated Press by Coroner Schwan-,
necke. He a secured a statement.
from Motorman Rogers of the wrecked
train. In this, according to the coroner,
the motorman stated that he was rum
ming on schedule time when the acct
dent occurred and admitted that the
| speed of his train was seventy miles
an hour. Rogers said the coroner de-
clared. that he did not know anything,
was wrong until an eighth Of a mile
beyond the place of derailment42
The train consisted Of a double,
header motor coupled onto one engine
drawing five coaches. The first was
a smoker, the second is described as a
power car. though it is commonly des-
ignated as a combination baggage and
smoker, and the three following were
ordinary passenger coaches.
1T appears to me-" said the cor
oner, that a spreading Of the rails
caused the disaster. 1 think one Of
the motors hit a section of the track
with force enough to cause it to jump
off. The smoker followed and swung
the ars following completely off the
track, breaking the coupling. When
the rear cars broke loose they ran wild
for a distance and finally turned over
The smoker showed only little dam
age, but the other cars gave evidence Of
a drag along the roadbed.

FRANCHISE REFORM
ENGROSSES SWEDEN

Stockholm, Feb. 20.-The great strug-
gle for proportional representation In
both chambers Of the riksdag has be-
gun, the government having introduced
the bill for reform of the political and
communal franchise.
The strongest opposition comes from
what may be called the old house of
lords"
The first chamber which counts $50
members and is elected by town and
city councils-bodies which are elected
on an income qualification, SO that a
country voter may have as many as
5000 votes. They therefore represent
only the moneyed classes, and SO the
first chamber has become in Sweden a
kind Of house of peers.
The second chamber of 230 members,
lis elected on a somewhat more popular
basis, but eve here there exists IN In
come qualification, which excludes the
majority of the adult population.
Nevertheless, it has been found pos
sible to send a liberal-radical party
which, in connection with the fifteen
socialists, constitutes a majority over
the conservatives of about twenty
Votes. The proposal of the proportion
ate representation has been used so Oft
en by req dictionary ministers in the past
that it is distinctly distasteful to the
country, and the fact that the conser-
'vative party and press SO eagerly rec
Commend it does not placate their OPP
ponents.
