THIRTEEN INJURED
In a Street Car Collision Sunday Two
Miles from Ottawa.

Ottawa, Ont, May 24.-Thirteen peo-
PIE We're injured today in a street car
collision two miles from here. Two of
the injured may die. Twelve have been
taken to hospitals.
A large car had stopped at the foot
of a grade to discharge passengers. A
smaller car, loaded to the guards,
bowled down the grade behind it and
was unable to stop. The smaller car
was of older type than the large car
and its platforms were built about two
feet lower. When the little car struck
the standing one, the impact forced the
smaller car under the large one and the
platform of the latter cut off the upper
body of the smaller car and crushed
the first four rows of cross seats and
some of the passengers We're injured.

CRY OF VENGEANCE
On Newark, Ohio, Man Who Choked
His Young Wife to Death.

Newark, Ohio, May 24.-Ernst Ter
wilger last night killed his 1S-year-old
wife and their unborn child by choking
the woman during quarrel, ana To-
night he is under special guards in the
city prison because many infuriatcd
citizens set up a cry for summary Ven-
geance at the prison when the crime
became known. The Terwilgers were
married about a year ago, the bride
being popular in her set of society on
account of her beauty and social quail
ties. Terwilger was jealous of his wife
and domestic discord caused separa-
ton.
Recently the pair became reconciled
and went to live at the home of
Charles Nutter. This morning the
Nutters went to call the Terwilgers
for breakfast Getting no response the
door was forced and Mrs. Terwilger
was found dead on the bed. Her tongue
protruded from her blackened face and
there were finger marks on her throat.
AS Terwilger was gone a search was
begun for him. No sooner had he been
arrested than he admitted that he had
been out of work for some time and
had taken several drinks with some
frlenQS yesterday. IcluIllliS lioiAiS IL
the evening. he said his wife asked
him for some money to buy some
things for the baby. He told her that
he had no money for her and old
troubles We're revived determinations
aroused the husbands anger to such
an uncomfortable pitch that he seized
his wife by the throat, threw her ovcA
the edge of the bed and choked her till
she ceased to struggle.
Terwilger, thinking he had only
choked the woman into submission, left
the house not to renew the quarrel.
AS soon as the details of the crime
became known to the many friends Of
Mrs. Terwilger a great crowd gathered
around the Jail and demanded the
prisoner Special guards have been
placed on duty and it is thought that
no attempt to storm the prison will be
made.

Decision In the
Thaw Case Today,

Poughkeepsie, n. Y. May 24.-Justice
Morschauser will hand down his decision
tomorrow morning in the habeas corpus
proceedings of Harry X. Thaw in which
evidence was taken week ago. The
judge was in his private rooms in the
court house nearly all day and it was un-
derstood that he was working on an cpin-
ion which will accompany his decision.
No hint of the purport of the decision
came from his chambers. but action
taken by Thaw's lawyer, James G. Gra-
ham, yesterday was regarded as indicat-
ing that he was not very hopeful of a
decision favorable to his client.
Mr.. Graham got from the district attor-
ney a stipulation that Thaw should neith-
er be given his freedom nor sent to Mat
teawan after the filing of the decision
until a formal order has been signed by
the judge. This will have the effect of
keeping Thaw in the Duchess county Jail
for week longer. for Judge Morschauser
will be at White Plains all this week.
During this time, should the decision be
unfavorable to Thaw, an effort will be
made to induce District Attorney Jerome
to consent to Thaw's commitment to one
of the state insane asylums other than
Matteawan. This could be done by Judge
Morschauser modifying the order Of
Judge Bowling under which Thaw was
sent to Matteawan. Thaw was visited in
his quarters in the Poughkeepsie court
house today by his mother. They were
together for two hours during which they
attended the service held in the gail for
the prisoners. Next to obtaining her
sons liberty Mrs. Thaw is most desirous
of having him transferred to one of the
other state hospitals for the insane.

Stocktaking commenced at the
Snow-HazZard shoe factory last week,
tire cutting room being shut down
first and the other departments as fast
as they got the work cleared. AS
son as the stocktaking is completed
the shop will start up on new run,
and will probably be all running be-
fore the end of the week. The Com
monwealth factory, which has been
having dull time for the past two or
three months. got out more work last
week than in any one week for some
time, about 500 dozen, or about two
thirds the normal output, and better
times are expected for that factory

a day beyond her companions for cut
ting "Votes for Women!" on the wall
of her cell. She says: 1--WE used to

ing Votes for Women tunes on my

lark. BY putting our ears to the
walls we could hear the prisoner in
the next cell. and so we all agreed to
roar like hungry animals at dinner
time. We made fearful noise but
the wardress could do nothing, be-
cause there were so many of u.s.
