Mistake in Orders Results in
Collision Between Two Large
lnterurban Cars.
NINE KILLED; THIRTY INJURED
Running Time Had Been Changed and
One M0t0rman Overran Orders;
Cars Telesc0ped.

Detroit, Mich, April 30.-Two large
interurban trolley cars on the De-
troit, Jackson & Chicago railway,
part of the Detroit United Railways
system, running from Detroit to Jack
son, collided head-on yesterday after
noon while running about forty-fve
miles an hour, twenty-five miles west
of here, near Ypsilanti. Nine men
were killed and about thirty men and
women injured, some of them seri-
ously. All of the severely wounded
were taken to the university hospital
at Ann Arbor. A mistake in orders on
the part of Motorman lisa Fay of the
limited car, who was crushed to death
beneath his vestibule, is alleged to
have caused the collision. 1t is charg-
ed that he overran his orders.
Running Time Changed.
The limited car, comfortably filled
with about forty people, left Ypsilanti
at 2:17 o'clock for Detroit. The run
ming time of the car was changed yes
terday and reduced, so that Motorman
Fay left Ypsilanti ten minutes earlier
than he had been accustomed to. This
is thought by some to have been re-
sponsible for his mistake. Instead of
stopping at Harris Switch, where the
cars should have passed, the limited
rushed by the crossing point at high
speed AS it rounded curve, four
miles east of Ypsilanti, the local car
flashed into view, also running at
high Speed

The Rland Red panner.

Royal and national coiors vary with
nations and times, but since Cain slew
Abel blood red has been the sign OF re-
volt. In the earliest revolt known TO
history, when the Perslans rose against
their king 1000 years ago, they were
led by a blood red banner, and during
the riots which took place In Paris the
men IN the blood red caps were FOL-
lowed by the mob 4 blood red flag
waved over Bunker Hill when the
Americans fought for liberty, and it
was the emblem OF the German peas
ants In their great uprisings in 1924,
1892 and 1925. Blood red was the col
or Of the trades union flags during the
middle ages. and It framed the back
ground Of the emblem of the Swiss
confederlcy In 1915. Through the
whole Of Trench and every other na-
ti0nal history those striking in their
own ways for liberty have worn the
blood rel cap and hailed the blood red
banner IS their leader. 1t IS a curious
fact hat never has a monarch chosen
