EXCURSION SPECIAL
IN FATAL COLLISION
ONE WOMAN KILLED AND 35
OTHERS INJURED"
Four Victims of Wreck at ParneII, ILL.,,
Are Believed to Be Dying.
Crash Occurs on
Curve

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Oct. 6.-One
passenger was killed and thirty-five
were injured, four probably fatally, in
collision at $40 o'clock last night
between a special train taking home
several hundred eXcursionists who had
been attending the state fair in this
city and a regular passenger train on
the Illinois Central at Parnell, three
miles south of Farmer City.
The dead woman is Miss Clara Wat
son of Farmer City.
The seriously injured are Jacob Ross,
Gibson City, internal injuries; Daniel
Hollowell, Farmer City, internally; B.
F. Barnes, Farmer City, fractured
skull; Mrs. Thomas Bateman, Farmer
City, crushed about head and chest.
The wreck occurred on a sharp
curve while the trains were running at
high speed, and when the engines
came together four of the coaches of
the special were smashed.
Conductor Duncan, in giving his
version of the cause of the wreck, said
his own watch was being repaired and
he was using another watch.
The dial in this was not in the same
position as his own, and when he
looked at it he thought he had four
teen minutes in which to run into
Farmer City, whereas he had but one
minute to make the siding, three
miles distant.

GUGGENHEIM OBJECTS TO
DISSOLUTION OF DIVORCE
William Files Answer to Suit Brought
in Chicago Court by Former
Wife

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-An answer was
filed in the circuit court here today
by William Guggenheim, a member
of the well-known New York family
to suit brought to dissolve the de-
creee of divorce granted his former
wife, Grace B. Guggenheim, in 1901
The suit was begun last June after
former Mayor Edward F. Dunno
former judge of the circuit court
who had entered the decree, had pro
tested that the court was imposed on
inasmuch as neither party to the suit
was a resident of Illinois when the
case was heard by him.
In the document filed today the
charge is made that the suit to dis
solve the decree of divorce was
brought by the former Mrs. Guggen-
helm in the hope of extorting a large
sum of money from Guggenheim.
The answer sets forth that the court
has no right or power of jurisdiction
to modify or annul the decree after
the expiration of five years from the
date of the entry of the final order.

RIVERS STOCKED
WITH MANY FISH
GOVERNMENT GIVES AWAY
BILLIONS OF EGGS
Commissioner Bowers Exceeds High
Mark Set for Department and
Cost of Distribution Is
Much Reduced
[By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-During the
last fiscal year more fish and fish eggs
were distributed by the bureau of fish
cries of the department of commerce
and labor than ever before in its his
tory.
For the first time, the total of fish
and eggs distributed passed the three
billion mark. The exact number was
3,117, ,301, ,595.
Last year the total amount of the
distribution was 2,S71, 456,2S0, and al
though Commissioner George NJ. Bow
ers suggested early in the year that
he hoped to pass the three billion
mark, small hopes were entertained
that he would be able to do it.
In addition to the increased distri-
button, a careful estimate has shown
that the cost of distribution has been
reduced to about $152 per million of
fish and eggs distributed, which Is a
lower average cost than ever has been
attained. The cost during the previous
fiscal year was S16O.25.
In 1907 it was S172.2S; in 1905, $216.S0
When the bureau was established in
1904, the cost per million of distribu-
ton was $40351, while in 1897, the year
before Commissioner Bowers took
charge of the work, the annual output
was 68,144, ,042 and the cost per million
was S397.76.
Ten years ago, the number of ap-
plications for the stocking of rivers
and streams with fish of various kinds
was less than 1000.
During the last fiscal year, the app!i-
cations increased to nearly 1900, and
the bureau responded py planting fish
in nearly that number of rivers,
streams, lakes and ponds. OF the en-
tire amount SO per cent was for market
able fisheries, only per cent being
for the use of sportsmen.
In summing up the conditions for the
fiscal year, Commissioner Bowers has
come face to face with the contingent
cy that in the near future the Pacific
coast may be called upon to restock the
Potomac river and it's tributaries with
shad.
only a few years ago, shad were
taken from the Potomac and planted
in the Sacramento river, where they
are now more plentiful than on the At
lantic coast.
The commissioner is having pre-
pared maps showing the extent to
which nets are planted along the Po-
tomac and its tributaries for catching
the shad as they return from the salt
water of the Chesapeake bay to the
fresh water in which they spawn.
SO great has been the onslaught on
the fish as they attempt to reach their
spawning ground, that in spite of all
the efforts of the bureau to plant eggs,
the catch is constantly decreasing
Now only about 35,000,000 eggs are
planted annually although in order
to maintain the fish on a proper basis,
Mr.. Bowers believes, the number should
be at least 200,000,000
Chesapeake bay supplies much Of the
entire eastern market with shad, and
unless effective regulations can be en-
forced Mr.. Bowers believes that with
in few years the famous Potomac
shad will become exhausted.
Mr. Bowers will appeal to the states
Of Maryland and Virginia for legisla-
aion to make it possible for this great
Industry to continue,
