FIVE KILLED N
AUTO ACCIDENT
Machine Was Struck by a Fast
Passenger Train at
Crossing.

st. Louis, Aug. 30.-Five persons,
four of them closely related, were
killed today when an automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by fast passenger train of the Chi
cago Rock Island and Pacific road two
and half miles west of Vigus station,
on the Creve Coeur Lake road, s.
Louis county.
All the victims of the accident were
residents of St. Louis. The dead are:
THEODORE F. WITTE, 1924 Whites
more Place.
THEODORE F. WITTE, JR., 1714
Missouri avenue.
MRS. HALCYON CAMPBELL, 1921
Wittemore Place.
FREDERICK o. WITTE, 1886 Ver-
non avenue.
The two men were brothers and Off.
cials of the Witte Hardware company,
one of the Oldest mercantile estab-
lishments of the city. Mrs. Klinge
was their sistetr-in-law.
The party had been at Creve Coeur
Lake, a resort twelve miles west of
the city, earlier in the day, and were
speeding homeward when killed.
Theodore Witte was driving the ma
chine with his brother beside him and
the two women and the children in
the tonneau.
The railroad track at its crossing
with the lake road runs along an en-
bankment about ten feet high and a
view along it in either direction from
the road is obscured by thick grove
and dense underbrush. Unable to see
the train or hear it's approach be-
cause of the noise made by the motor
in driving the car up the embankment,
Mr.. Witte steered directly in the
path of the on-coming train, which
was making about forty miles an hour.
The locomotive struck the automobile
squarely and Mr.. Witte and his
brother were tossed forty feet away.
The boy body dropped in front Of the
train an eighth of mile down the
track and the women, caught in the
tonneau, were crushed beyond recog-
milton in the wreckage which was car
ried quarter of a mile beyond the
scene of the accident and was still on
the cowcatcher when the train vas
stopped.
Theodore Witte was the only mem
ber of the party who was not instant
ly killed. He survived long enough
to be brought to hospital in St.
Louis, but died there without resain.

friends and making new ones.
 Two gayly decorated wagons con- veyed the visitors to the ball grounds, which were certainly in fine condi- ton.
 The feature of the Sunday game was the excellence of both batteries and the almost entire absence of er- TOTS. With the exception of one de- cision of the umpire early in the game, which was hotly protested by the Parker team. the game went off as smoothly and quickly as profess sional games. The final score of to 3 in favor of Parker, was a great dis appointment to the fair ladies in the grandstand, not to mention of course the sterner sex. But this all disap- peared at the dance given that same evening to the visitors. Everyone tripped the light fantastic and joy was unconfined till the wee small hours of the morning. The game played Monday afternoon was the more exciting of the two and resulted in score of II to in favor of Parker. Again both batteries dis played excellent form and a hard earned run in the first inning for Parker sdid not look very good to the Wickenburgers. But they gamely tied the score in their half of the in- ming and again the enthusiasm dis played was frantic. Three runs made by Wickenburg in the fifth made the score 4 to 2 in their favor, but the Parker team did not lose heart. They came back with four runs in the seventh inning. but through two un- fortunate errors the Hassayampers rolled in four of their own and the score then stood 8 to 6 in the latter's favor.

 Parkerites are highly elated over the outcome of the baseball games with the Wickenburg team on July straight games by the Parker team was a classy a showing as was ever given in that dear old Hassayampa town. Enthusiasm ran high on both sides and no small feature of the games was the roofing and good natured feeling passed by the grand stand spectators.
 The Parker team, on it's arrival Sunday, was escorted to the club house and invited to take complete possession during it's stay in town. This was gladly accepted. After talk ing dinner in body the team was shown around the town, meeting old

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE
(By Tom Shultz.)

Parker Ariz., July 7.-(Special cor
 respondence of The Republican.)-
 Just one week ago at this hour,
 Parker was alive to man, for a few
 minutes in a fight to d finish against
 the red dragon-fire. When the
 alarm was given, not one minute ex-
 pired before every soul was hammer
 and tongs trying to snatch something
 from the very teeth of the flames.
 But what could be done? Simply ef-
 forts, but in this there were many that were truly heroic. There were
 no lagGards or towards in Parker on
 June 3Oth at the hour of ? pm. and
 personal mention covering couple of
 columns could be given, but what's the use.
 Every town must have its ups and downs and Parker got hers early. During the week the insurance agents
 have come and gone and there is nothing left now on the faces of those who have lost, but a broad expanse of optimism. Thank God that it was no worse: that the fire occurred in the day time instead of night was the unanimous expression. The flames started in the wash room of the Par ker hotel, located about twelve feet from the kitchen, how it started. no one will ever know. Within five minutes the whole hundred feet cov- ering the hotel and the property of the Colorado River Supply company were enveloped in flames. The only lives placed in jeopards were those of J. F. Roney and Harry Wa@d, who fa lad in nlnnfno x-n11r1h hlaG in the safe. When they left the building the fire was on top, side and rear and was tapping at the front door. their only place of exit. In their dash, both were scorched, es- pc cially MT Roney, who accidentally ran against one of the post support ing the porch thereby receiving a severe burn on the. neck and left shoulder and arm. Just a few sec onds more and Parker would have been in mourning for two of her most worthy citizens Thank the Lord its past, let's forget it?
 At this writing the Colorado River Supply company is adding to its equipment its large ware room across the alley from the late store. Goods are arriving and its large trade has not and will not suffer any great in- convenience from the catastrophe. | The company has signified its inten- ton to begin at once in the erection of a twO-story cement building as near fire proof as is possible to be built. The Tisdale Bros. will also build along the same lines. Thus by the first of the coming year, visitors will see a corner in Parker that will | be second to none in the territory.
 Last Monday the large safe of the Colorado River Supply company, | which was the depository for the | postoffice and also large clientage | covering the surrounding country, | was opened and it's contents, amount ing to no small consideration, was l found to be perfectly intact and mo- wise injured. The opening of this safe was a matter of considerable an-

When it is considered that these native Americans travelled over the desert from twenty-five to ninety miles to help celebrate the nations birthday. there embryo patriotism is cemmendable indeed
 The entire tier of towns in the north appeared prosperous and contented. except possibly a trifle apprehensive over the water supply as it has rained very little so far this summer

THE WATERMELON KINGS
 INVASION 0F THE NORTH
There is Prosperity Along the Whole Tier cf Country.

William P. Crump, known locally to fame as the watermelon king, returned yesterday afternoon from a weeks trip to the northern part of the territory. During his trip he visited the towns Of Prescott. Jerome, Williams, Flag staff and WEnslow. He succeeded in disposing of three carloads of Phoenix WatermelonS.
 In most of the towns mentioned. es- pecially Jerome, Flagstaff and Win slow there were quite pretentious eel ebrations of the glorious fourth. He spent the fourth in Flagstaff. where he enjoyed seeing Williams beat Gal lup in a fine game of base ball pitched by Prof. Ayers of the Tempe normal school; the broncho busting: horse rac- ing. etc. This town which is rapidly coming into its own as a delightful place to spend the heated summer. presented many familiar faces. But probably the most interesting event of

A peeade of American Railways.


 The American railroad system changes while you wait. You can see it grow. A decade ago the railways received only a billion and a quarter dollars from the patient people. hardly more than our annual national expen- allure. Now they receive-with fewer thanks-two and a half billions Then the passenger traffic amounted to only 13.3 billions of miles for one passen- ger; now it amounts to 29.5 billions of miles. In other words, if one pas senger were carried each week day from Des Moines, la, to the sun. his journeying would fairly represent the distance daily travelled by passengers on American railroads.
 Our freight traffic, too. Is bigger In one year we carried a billion tons of freight an average of two hundred and forty miles each. If each man, woman and child in this country hauled each day five hundred pounds of freight a distance of thirty-t two miles. they would not accomplish in the year the vast amount of carrying that the railroads perform.
 The next ten years will show stin greater progress. Many railroads will be rebuilt: others will be electrified. New roadbeds, new tracks, new stations, stronger locomotives, bigger and bet ter cars-all of these are in the esti- mates of the next decade. And if the people stay awake and demand their rights, the whole vast engine of prog ress will be equitably and efficiently in the interest, not of stock jobbers. but of investors, em- ployes, passengers and shippers.-F'rom Success Magazine"

 The entertainments provided the Parkerites by the people of Wicken- burg were as lavish and numerous as money and time could provide.

 The victorious team on their arriv- al home, were treated to an ice cream social and grand fireworks display by the delighted residents of Parker, and if the recent fire cast any gloom over them, it was certainly all dispelled by the thought that the town can "Phoe- nix like" rise up and be a winner just the same as the ball team.

a large number of models. sew
- eral Of which are now spoken
EMSN1Mh of as the most likely to be
80 the favorites when the sea-
son finally opens. The distinctive tyres
bidding for popularity are 1.-THE turbans,
toques and broad brim, flat crown that
became so highly popular during late win
ter. Although the extremely large models
are not shown at this early stage there Is
no indication Of a small hat season.
Medium large shapes trimmed so as to give
a large and picturesque effect are well to
the fore. The toques and turbans that in
former seasons could be- correctly de-
scribed as small hats cannot be so termed
now. The toques and turbans are made to
extend well over the front and sides of
the large coiffures.
Turbans shown I'm Large Numbers.
Perhaps no other model is at present re-
ceiving so much attention as the turban.
The large Arabian turban promises to be-
come a favorite while the English and
Russian types are TO be seen in large
numbers. The large turbans are worn well
forward over the head and they are 80

mushroom order. The brims have a ten
dency to droop in all shapes with here and
there a few partly upturned brim models
There Is also a strong indication of a high
crown, for in many of the new models the
crown is more pronounced than the brim.
The broad brim picture hats show a broad
low crown. but the tendency for high
trimming gives the high crown effect.
Among the numerous other models that
are shown are the mushrooms, shepherdess,
directoire bonnet and tricorne.
straw Braids Widely Employed.
While a great many materials are used
for the made hats, great preference is
given to the rough braids for early wear.
For the advancing season there are the
smooth Milan, chip, hair braids and
Neapolitan. Net and maline are excellent
for the dressier early made hats and are
especially well thought of for jet COM
binations.
The Jet turban Is also we'll thought of
for/very early wear and will take the
place Of the usual flower turban, but al
though Jet will be used in touches on many
of the later models. the aIl-net hat is con-
sidered to be only a high class season
novelty.
Willow Plume, Fancy Aigrettes.
The willow or shower plume seems to
have displaced The ordinary ostrich feather
and since the tendency is for height giving
effects and fancy aigrettes are called into
play. The aigrettes are somewhat soft
ened by curled ends and the fancy curled
quill. mephisto and other fancy feathers
show touches Of jet and jeweled effects.
Wings are also shown, but these are also
softened by edges of marabout. Most
feathers and other trimming are used to
give the high and picturesque effects.
Among the novel fabrics used for the
made hats and for draping the simple
tailored model are the tinseled or metallic
effects. printed messaline, chiffon, foulard
in Persian and other novel designs, as we'll
as radium. gauge, laces. tulle, silk, null
and liberty.
Flowers Looked Upon As Promising.
