 way Strike.

Cleveland. O.. May 2i.-There Is left only the selection of the third arbi- trator to bring about a cessation of the street railway strike. This point was discussed today.
 Tonight the mediators adjourned un- til o'clock tomorrow morning. when this question will be again taken up.

 An announcement to this effect was officially given out late today by the members of the State Board of Arbi- tration who are assisting in the nego- tiations
 Despite a positive assertion by a participant in the negotiations. Vice.

TEMPLE IS SECURED
MONTGOMERY WILL HAVE HOME
 OF PYTHIANs.
News of City's Success Through Eff forts of Her Knights Hailed With RejOicinG-PraiEe for
 Taylor.

News that the Montgomery delega- ton of Pythians to the convention oi the Grand Lodge In Tuscaloosa had SC. cured the location of the proposed tenn pie for this city was received with great pleasure yesterday not only by members of the local lodges but by persons not aflliated with the order.
 The building of the Pythian Temple in Montgomery means not so much on account of the mere expenditure of money for it's construction; 1t means that Montgomery Is to be the State cen Ire of Pythianisrn and that at least once in each year hundreds of Knights win assemble in the city for the trans action of business.
 The good news waa first received in the city in a telegram from B A. Taylor. Past Chancellor of Central Lodge No. 9. of Montgomery. and chalr- man of the Committee selected by the Pythian Lodges of the city to work for the location of the Temple here. To Mir. Taylor most of the credit of win ntng the honor for the city Is accorded by Knights in Montgomery. He has long and ardently worked and the suc- cess that crowns his efforts won for him yesterday added praise.
 The Temple is to be constructed at a cost of $50,0 900 of which the Grand Lodge now has $20,000 in hand. The Montgomery Lodges of the Knights of Pythias raised t1o.00O to be added to the building fund and the remainder of the money needed 1t is known can be had without great effort. The build Ing will be of handsome appearance and convenient plans.

THE LUISIIANA BREAKING
 ALL WESTB0UND RECORDS

New York. May 21--Early tonight thero were every indication that the Cunard liner Lusitania would break all westbound records. The big steamer at 6:30 ?. m., passed the Nantucket Lightship according to a wireless mes sage. and at that hour, was maintain ing the high average speed of twenty Ave knots per hour. which previous re- ports here shown had been averaged ever since her departure from Queens town.
 This would make the Lusitania's time from Daunts Rock four days. nineteen hours and twelve minutes. and would beat the same steamers hest record of exactly five days over thfs, the long course, by four hours and forty-eight minutes. The Mau- retania. a sister ship. has a record over this course of just one minute less than the Lusitania's previous best, and this. of course, will also be eclipsed.
 Tonight a dense fog settled down along the coast here. which will delay the Lusitania somewhat. but doubt less she will have e good margin left to exceed all records.

COL. STEWART'SCASE
SENATOR RAINIER INSISTS ON A
 GOVERNMENTAL.
The Maryland statesman Declares That the OfnceF in Entitled to Have the Charges Against Him
 Heard.

Washington. May 21.--Senator Ray ner today again asked the Senate to pass his resolution declaring that Col onel William Y. Stewart of the Goa st Artillery. Is entitled to have the charges against him investigated and dent to order a court-Iinartial for such an investigation.
 Senator Warren declared that every effort had been made by him as Chair- man of the Committee on Military Af- fairs to secure information as basis for an investigation of the case relat- ing to Colonel Stewart. &
 Everything, he said. was being done in an orderly way, to secure Informa- tion necessary te properly conaider the case of Coicnei Stewart "Aii the sar- casm of the Senttor from Maryiand he said. "has amused the galleries but when q matter of business comes in the Senate, we have right to ss.nd on the rights of the Committee and to properly consider any resolution that may have been referred to it. This he said. 'is matter of fact relating to the discipline of the army and should not, be lightly treated. The resolution of the Senator from Maryland would be a rebuke to the President if adopt ed as well as to the other army officers who had. been involved In the Stewart case"
 This talk about punishment" he added. '1s mere sentimentaiism gone mad.' -..s
 He characterized the arguments of the Senator from Maryland as simply rnaudlin."
 Mir. Rayner declared that the one is- sue of his resolution which was In fa- vor of granting a court of inquiry for Colonel Stewart had been ignored. Colonel Stewart he said. had right to be heard upon tho charges his ens- mics had made against him.
 Senator Hopkins interrupted to sug- gest that the Senator from Maryland took the ground that every time an of- ficer of the army gets an order he does not like, he has a right to have a court of inquiry ordered to hear his case.
 Senator Carter said no criminal charge included In the articles of war had been made against Colonel Stewart and that 1t was common to take into account the temperamental characteris- tics of an officer in connection with his assignment to duty.
 MT. Rayner's resolution was placed upon the calendar to be taken up, if again considered. by unanimous con- sent,
 Senator Lodge stated that he desired to reply to Mir. Rayner's statements and would do so tomorrow

 After the splendid argument of this gifted Alabamian. there seemed mo room for further discussion. Montgom- cry being unanimously voted for as the site for the Pythian Temple of Ala hama.
 One of the most touching features of the morning meeting was the introduce tion of the veterans of the Grand Lodge. Judge J. H.

The scene was one long to be remembered, as these veterans who, for twenty-five years and more, have been members of the Lodge. were presented to the convention.
 The place of the next meeting was the next question of intense interest that came before the Lodge Owing to the geological location of Florence. Ala, there was strong opposition. the idea being to select a city most acces- sibie to the largest number of dele. gates. but owing to the strong argu-

IA BAD WRECK
 IN BELGIUM Thirty-eight Dead Bodies
 Recovered. SEvENTY-NINE ARE WOUNDED List of Dead and Injured May Be
 Greater. This wreck Is the Worst Railroad Catastrophe Ever Recorded In
 Belgium--Cars Literally Ground to Pieces
,EvENTY-NINE ARE WOUNDED

Antwerp, May 21.--One of the worst railroad accidents in Europe in recent times occurred at Contich. a station six miles southeast of this city on the main line at o'clock this morning.
 The exact number of victims had not been determined up to late tonight, owing to the difficulty of removing the bodies from the debris. but the latest estimate places the number at sixty killed and 100 wounded.
 The catastrophe appears to have been due to defective switch. where the main line crosses q local line Al this point a train carrying large number of pilgrims on their way to the shrine at TurnbouI was standing. Into this the Antwerp Brussels ex- press dashed at a speed of fifty miles an hour. literally leaping on top of 1t. The heavy coaches of the express crushed the lighter train into splint- CTS. The sides of the express cars were practically colapsing. thus precipitat- ing the passengers to the side of the track uninjured. whence they fled, fren- xied. across the feids.
 But for this fact the death roll would be much greater. Few of the occu- pants of the local train escaped alive. Those that were not killed were badly injured. many of them mortally.
 The rescuers, even the doctors, were sickened at the sight that met their gaze, Evidences were found of hor. rible death struggles that occurred in the crushed coaches. In one place a dismemh cred hand was found clutch. ing one of the supports of the torn car. One body was found lying across the boiler of locomotive, crushed into a shapeless mass. The majority of the dead could not be recognized, either be- ing decapitated or their heads being terribly crushed.
 The signal man at contich saw that his switch was not working just as the Antwerp express came laundering down the line. He leaped from the window of has signal station and he. roically ran down the track toward the of1coming train, waving a red nag, His effort. however. was too late to avert q disaster The engineer and the hremen of the express train were Killed at their@posts. The Judicial au- thorities of Antwerp soon arrived on the scene and opened an investigation into the disaster. They ordered the signaIunan in charge of the switches under arrest. although 1t Is believed by the authorities that they were blame less.
 Prince Albert went to contich this afternoon and visited the wounded. hav- ing cancelled an engagement to pre- side at banquet at Antwerp this evening.
 With reference to the cause of tho collision a railway official stated to. night that the switches were being repaired and that the workman who had been placed at the temporary hand switch appeared to have made a mis- take, or the switch failed to act. The engineer. 1t is stated. saw tho danger and applied the brakes. but 1t was toe late to avoid the disaster.

 Albright is held prisoner in the county jail at this place pending a preliminary bearing. which will be held Tuesday of next week. before Judge Penn, in the probate court. AL bright denies that he Is guilty of any crime. but further than to make a straight denial. has very little to say regarding the case.
 Albright was arrested after an in- vestigation of the case on the part of the authorities. In the investigation some circumstances were developed which makes the officers believe that Albright may be guilty of the crime.
 Mrs. Albright was taken i'll over two weeks ago. Dr. James Hurst, a physi- elan of Walnut Grove. visited her and prescribed arsenic for the patient. A short time after the physician had pre- scribed the poison the patient died. Her death came suddenly and the physician was unable to ascertain the cause.
 The funeral was held and the re- mains were inferred but an investiga- tion was started.
 One week ago warrant was sworn out for Albright but was not served until today.
 Considerable mystery surrounds the case and the neighborhood is excited because of the sensational develop ments.
 Mir. and Mrs. Albright were married eight years ago and so far as has been ascertained their marriage relations were congeniaL
