FUNERAL SERVICES OF
 CARlMACK IMPRESSIVE

CTS have many friends here and throughout the State. The friends of the coopers claim that the affalr was merely a street duel in which both sides met and began firing; that the Coopers had tried to avoid a meeting with Mir. carmack and were on their way to the State Capitol in response Patterson when the tragedy occurred: that Senator Carmack had been warned and was expecting trouble.
 The friends of Senator Carnack strenuously claim that the killing was the result of a conspiracy pure and simple: that MF. Carmack was waylaid and assassinatd while he was on his way to his boarding house and while he was talking to lady; that he left The Tennesseean office for his board Ing house. the fact was telephoned from q house near The Tennesseean office, and that thus the Coopers were notified that the Senator was on his way and to be on the alert. It now develops. according to the friends of Mir. Carmack, that there was . third party with the coopers just before the shooting. an ex-county ofiicial. who is q close personal friend of both the Coopers and Governor Patterson ..
 Friends of the dead Senator intimate that there will be some sensational developments within the next day or so regarding the affair. Neither Colo mel Cooper nor his son win give out any statement for publication.
 The Cooper family is one of the most prominent in Tennessee, and Colonel Cooper and his son, Robin, win have the beat legal talent that can be ob- tatned when the case comes up for trial, Friends Of Senator Carnaek will see to 1t that he has able coun- sci.

 Berlin, Nov. 1.-The most exciting debate in a long time in the Reich stag was concluded this evening with the rejection by a majority of a prop osition to send an address to the Em- peror calling attention to the danger of His Majesty's personal intervention in foreign politics. The discussion brought forth strong expressions from the representatives of most of the parties.
 The displeasurS of the house was concentrated principally upon chancel- Tor von Buelow. Members of several of the groups refused to accept the Chancellor's interview in The London Daily Telegraph as satisfactory or as requiring guarantees for the future, but when the proposition of address. ing the Emperor formally on the sub ject was put to the house. the govern ment majority did not hesitate in vot- ing against. Chancellor von Buelow listened unmoved virtually throuKhout the whole afternoon, to personal at- tacks made against him. only leav- ing the house for a. short time to at tend the sitting of the Prussian cabi- net. It was generally expected that he would speak again today. but the Chancellor disappointed the members.
 Baron von Kidsrlen- -Waechter's de- fense of the foreign once which was SO closely identified with the inter view" was received with loudly ex- pressed derison by the Socialists.

1T DEAD AND MANY
 INJURED IN WRECK

extra editions of the afternoon papers which announced the wreck had oc- cured and that many were killed and injured. These caused great anxiety among thousands of persons whose relatives and friends from the commu- ters of the Ozone belt. through which both of the trains passed on their way to New Orleans In the morning. Rail- road. telegraph and newspaper offices were besieged in an effort to learn thl. extent of the catastrophe. and if pos sible the names Of it's victims.
 Mothers of children who had started to New Orleans to school from SlideiI and other stations along the routes of the two roads, begged and entreated friends and relatives in New Orleans over the long distance telephone to rush to the wreck which they under stood was just outside of the city. and do all for their little ones they could. But the inacessibility of the scene of the wreck cut of practically all com munication. and the only ones who were able to get to the Littlewoods were those who went out on the re- lief train. N
 As quickly as possible those who did go to the wreck assigned themselves to the task of compiling a list of the dead and injured. but in some instances bodies could not be identified and in 
 their names. fearing the result of al- lowing their families to know that they had suffered at all or were even in the wreck.
 One of the remarkable incidents of the wreck was that no one on the Great Northern train from Cpvington was injured. although the engine and several coaches were torn to pieces In teIescoping the train ahead.
 It was in Covingtons however. that the greatest alarm was felt for here lived large majority of those who were in the wreck. when 1t was learn ed that all passengers on the coving. !. ton train were safe. announcement or this fact was sent to the little town in St. Tammany Parish, where q thousand or more persona had gath. cred around the railroad station as soon as 1t became known that the Great Northern train had met with disaster.
 Trains ere this afternoon bringing in the dead and wounded, whtch were at first held at the temporary hospital camp established in the wreck. It is believed that this will result in more authentic list of those who suffered in the wreck
