MARROW ESCAPE FOR MANY
Coaches Topple Toward East-Bound Track as Train Passes al
 High Speed.

Westboro, Mass, Jan. 2.-Five cars of the Chicago express on the Boston and Albany railroad, which left Bos- ton at 445 o'clock this afternoon, were derailad by the breaking of a wheel at d point 150 yards west of this station IL $40 o'clock All the passengers es- eaped injury of serious nature, but four dining car employees, all colored' were hurt more or less severely.
 It was only by the narrowest chance that the wreck escaped being most disastrous one, as a Boston bound ex- press grazed past the derailed cars as they were lurching over toward the east-bound track, which they after ward blocked completely. Had the de- railment occurred at a fraction of a minuta earlier the bound train would doubtless have smashed into the wreck.
 The dining car of the derailed ex- press toppled so far over that the Boston bound express grazed it in passing, tearing out nearly all of the windows of the car. Fortunately there were no passengers in this car.
 The injured occupants of the dining car were: John Thomas. Boston, col ored waiter, cuts on face and right side of scalp, and suffering from shock James Hylego, Boston, colored waiter. shoulder dislocated; k.

CRANkS DELUGE POLICE
With Alleged Identiiications of Mur.
 dered Woman.

Newark, N. J., Jan. 2.-lnterest in the mystery surrounding the murder of the woman whose body was found in the marshes of the Passaic river in Harrison one week ago to-day, has now reached the crank stage, and the police are deuged with letters contain ing alleged identihcations of the dead woman, impossible suggestions as to her slayer. weird theories of the mo- tive for her death and any amount of more or less rational advice as to what should be done next by the authorities.
 One well-wisher recalls a story by Edgar Allen Poe, the plot of which, to his mind, Is so strikingly similar to the known facts in the present case, that study of the novelist's tale can hardly fall to lead to a solution of the actual murder. More than 1000 per- sons have written of missing women friends who answer to the description Of the occupant of the morgue.

May we kindly ask you to give as prompt a consideration to this request as possible as it would take some lit- tie time to mature our plans.
 And in answer to that resolution the following resolution was passed by the board:
 As requests for the use of school 3buildings occasionally reach the board of education. the superintendent, the committee recommends that authority be given to the superintendent to grant Jlilt usG LII GCiiODl DullulllSS DuI bl school hours for purposes affiliated with educational work--all exercises to be under the supervision and control ol the board of education. With the clos er relationship now springing up be- z tween the school and the home and with the growing tendency to regard the school as the natural center of community life, the committee believes larger use of school buildings by the community can properly be made"
