women teachers and entered with
zest into the most brilliant social
function the city Of Atlanta has wit

Mr.. Taft spoke to the students Of
the Georgia School Of Technology

Ric Bethel church. Saturday after
noon he journeyed to Athens, Ca,
where he spoke to the student body
of the State University and to the

Score Die in Collision.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Special
Twenty persons were killed and
thirty injured, many of them seri-
ously in head-on collision between
westbound passenger train No. 5 and
an eastbound freight train on the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad be.
tween Dotsero and Sprune creek. q
miles from Glenwood Springs Friday
night. While nothing official has been
given out as to the cause of the
wreck it is said to have bee:l due tc
a misunderstanding of orders on the
part of Engineer Gustaf Oleson, Of
the passenger train. Oleson, however
claims his instructions were read per-
fectly, but that he misread his watch:
thus encroaching on the time of the
freight train which was being drawn
by two locomotives, the first of which
was in charge of his brother, Sig Ole
son. Train No. 1 was made up of an
engine and tender; baggage car, a
smoking car, followed by a chair car
a tourist sleeper and full compile
ment of standard sleepers and din
ing car. The locomotives are up on
end and joined together as one piece
of mechanism. Their wheels were
rolled down into the Grand river and
pieces of machinery are scattered all
over the scene of the wreck. The
smoking car was only partly derailed
while the chair car Immediately fol-
lowing was completely telescoped by
the touring sleeper. None of the
standard sleepers left the track and
no one was killed or injured in these
cars, most of the dead and injured
being removed, from the ruins of the
chair car which was split completely
in twain.

Throughout the discussion the GAL

nessee passed third and final reading
in the Senate. The vote came after
five and half hours Of argument,
in which almost every Senator On

was 20 to 13, Senator j. T. Basker-.

Cooper Swab,. Of Claiborne, voting
with the eighteen Senators compris-
ing the membership Of the Grand

to adjourn could be put, a wild crowd
surrounded Messrs. Holladay and

and the celebration took on the form
Of a love feast. -.
The debate was replete with sensa-
tional incidents, the most remarkable
OF all being Ex-Gov. John I. Cox's
speech in defense Of his past record

of attempted intimidation made by
