Antwerp, Holland, May Elm one
OF the worst railroad disasters that
ever occurred in this country, at least
so passengers were killed and 100
seriously hurt in a collision between
two passenger trains this morning.
The trains were running at high
rate OF speed when the crash occur
red.
At the town Of Contich, six miles
south of Antwerp, the two trains met.
They came together with a great
force, piling up the wreckage in great
heaps.
One train was bound for BrusseA
and the other for Lierre. Three
coaches of the latter train wers
smashed into kindling wood.
Mistaken signals at the crossing
are thought to have caused the dis
aster, though a misplaced switch was
the direct cause Of the wreck.
So badly entangled were the pas
sengers that 1t was several hours be-
fore the rescuers could get in eff.
cient work.
Bodies Roasted
Many corpses were so badly roasted
they could scarcely be handled as
result of the fire that sprung up in
the wreckage. The hospital facilities
are inadequate and there is much suf-
fering in consequence.

SECOND ANNUAL DEBATE.
Needham and Columbian Societies
Have Joint Discussion.

The Needham and Columbian debating
societies of the department of law.
George Washington University. held their
second annual intersociety debate in the
university hall last night. The hall was
filled to it's capacity. and the embryo bar
rsters were applauded frequently. The
question debated affirmed THAT the inn
migration laws of the United States
should be so amended as TO exclude all
European immigrants over fifteen years
OF age unable to read or write" The
verdict was awarded TO the Columbian
team. which defended the negative of the
proposition.
The judges were Senator Norris Brown
of Nebraska, DR.. Merrill +. Gates, ex-
president of Amherst. and Edward s.
Thurston professor of law of George
Washington University Senator Brown
in announcing the decision of the judges
said the contest was close. and but for
the exceptionally able manner in which
the arguments of the team representing
the negative side were presented the
contest might have been considered a
draw. He also announced that the judges
awarded the first individual honors TO
Roscoe Ii Hupper. 10. Maine, of the CO.
lumbian team. and second honorS to
John Jensen, 90, Utah, of the Needham
society.
