DARTMOUTH
TEAM BOWS

Hockey Team, Which Down.

ed by Ellis, 9 to 8.

NEW YORK, Jan. II. ADartmouth's :
hockey team, which conquered the cham-
pion Princeton seven "A week ago, met de-
feat at the hands of Yale last night at
the st. Nicholas Rink. Yale fairly swept
the boys from Dartmouth off the ice, and
when the final figures were hung up they
registered 9 goals to 3 in favor of Yale.
While the usual rough work that goes
with college games was missing, there
was enough body checking, stick slashing
and ground and lofty tumbling on both
sides TO keep the spectators awake and
warm.
Doe. Of Dartmouth. was the worst suf-
ferer. HI was bumped severely In the
first half. II the second Driscoll slammed
Doe against the side of the rink. injuring
his knee. After a short delay the game
was resumed with Doe in his place. A
heavy fall to the ice put him out again
after a few minutes OF play. Again the
plueky Dartmouth boy came back and
brought the spectators to their feet by
carrying the puck from the centre of the
rink, lodging the Yale defense and seor-
ing Dartmouth's last goal. g
After the first ten minutes Of play the
game was never in doubt. Driscoll and
Foote scored for their sides. Then, while
the Yale cry was Get Foote." II. Stanley,
Thayer and Williams smashed the puck
into INTO the net, leaving the score S to 2
in Yale's favor for the first half.
The second half was still easier for Ell,
Heron, FEELS and Stanley shot the rubber
past Erhardt with case. The game ended
two minutes after Doe had made his sem
~sational play for Dartmouth. ~.

Sixty Are Killed and Over a Hundred Injured on BeI-

.PASSENG GER COACHES
 TORN INTO SPuNTERS
Fast Express Train Runs Into Excur- sion Train on a Siding and Tears Soul From Body In a
 Sickening Crash.

Antwerp, May Alone of the worst
 railroads accidents in Europe in recent
 times occurred at Contich, station six
 miles southeast of this city on the main
 line, at o'clock this morning. The exact
 number of victims had not been deter
 mined up to late tonight, owing to the
 difficulty of removing the bodies from
 the debris, but the latest estimate places
 the number at 60 killed and 100 wounded.
 The catastrophe appears to have been
 due to a defective switch, where the main
 line crosses a local line. At this point a
 train carrying a large number of Pilgrims
 on their way to the shrine at Turnboul
 was standing. Into this the Antwerp
 Brussels express dashed at a speed of 50
 miles an hour, literally leaping on top of
 1t. The heavy coaches of the express crushed the lighter train into splinters. The sides of the express cars were torn from their fastenings, the floors practi- cally collapsing, this preclpitating ths passengers to the side of the track un- | injured, when they He'd, frenzied, across i the fields.
 1 But for this fact the death roll would be much greater Few of the occupants l of the local train escaped alive. Those | many of them mortally.
 The rescuers. even the doctors were sickened at the sight that met their gaze.
 Evidences were found of horrible death struggles that occurred in the crushed coaches. In one place a dismembered
 hand was found clutching one of the supports of the torn car. One body was found lying across the boiler of loco | motve crushed into A shapeless mass. I The majority of the dead could not be
 recognized. either being decapitated or
 their heads being terribly crushed.
 l The signal man at Contich saw that l his switch was not working just as the 1 Antwerp express came laundering down
 the line. He leaped from the window Of
 his signal station and herolcally ran down the track toward the on-coming , train, waving red flag. His effort, how 1 ever was too late 10 avert disaster. 1 The engineer and the fireman of the ex-
 press train were killed at their posts. The judicial authorities of Antwerp soon 1 arrived on the scene and opened an investi- l gation Into the disaster. They ordered 1 the signal men in charge of the switches under arrest, although 1t is believed by | the authorities that they were blameless. l Prince Albert went to Contich this aft ernoon and visited the wounded, having cancelled an engagement to preside at ;l l banquet at Antwerp this evening.
 1 With reference to the cause of the col l lision 8 railway official stated tonight l that the switches were being repaired and that the workman who had been placed at the temporary hand switch appeared 1 to have made a mistake or the switch 1 failed to act. The engineer, 1t Is stated,
 saw the danger and applied the braSss, 1 but 1t was too late to avert the disaster.

WOMAN'S DIVORCE SUIT
 IS QUICKLY DISMISSED
Justice O'Gornan Decides That Evi- dence Does Not Support Mae Woods Case and Orders
 Her Jailed.

New York, May 21.--Mae c. Wood, from United States Senator Thomas c. Plat. of New York has been on trial in the supreme court here for several days, was committed to the Tombs pris- on late today after Justice O'Gorman had dismissed the complaint in her ac- tion and ordered her held in $5000 bail on A charge of perjury.
 The decision in Senator Platts favor and the sudden and sensational end of the suit came after a day which the de- fense occupied largely with the intro duction of expert and other testimony attacking the authenticity of the docu- ments by which the plaintiff was seek ing to establish her alleged marriage to Senator Platt. Miss Wood was 1c- called to the stand in rebuttal. She was asked if after hearing the testi mony about the marriage certificate, she still reiterated that the defendant gave her the certificate as she pre- viously testified.
 T still reiterate it," she replied.
 Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss Wood and pointedly questioned her. She repeated her assertion that the mar riage occurred as she had stated. She admitted that Senator Platt never sup ported her, and when the court asked Ter if she did not consider 1t s-nvsz pi of tsband to support hMighly ente replied: uoustoin The story i enough of gente5 1eWinthal <eai 'Hl ieetnred se '''' 9.S church.

Washington, May 21.-(Special.) Senate is ready to adjourn and it is up to the House to end the session Saturday right or allow it to drift into the middle of next week. Senator Aldrich sees noth- ing in the way of adjournment, but Speaker Cannon said today that there were about 25 conference reports pending, which had to be adopted. The only thing holding Congress in session is the desire of the House leaders to square them selves with thelr constituents by the pas sage of an anti-injunction bill and few other political measures.
 The House leauers well understand that the Senate will not pass an anti-injunc- ton bill which will be at all satisfactory to labor leaders, but they want to go
