SEVEN DIE

Train Hurrying to Scene

Collides With Two

first section of Pennsylvania train

two locomotives in the yards here
and seven men were killed. Seven
bodies were recovered shortly
after the collision and another
is believed to be i'm the wreckage.
Shortly after the crash, fire ad-
ded it's horror to the wreck. The
flames quickly destroyed COM
bination baggage and mail car
and attacked the smoking coach
before it was subdued.
All the dead are known to
have been employees. Many pas
sengers were bruised and shaken.
1t was learned that two passen-
gers received sprained shoulders,
one being Miss Sophia Ashansop-
silos, of Memphis. Tennessee.
Princess Trixie, an educated
horse, belonging to a theatrical
company, was killed and its
groom, Lewis Brockway, slightly
injured.
Traffic on the road was delayed
for half an hour.

ME and Mettler''
Are Not Endorsed

A thin coat of whitewash was
spread over the doings of County
Commissioners Peterson and Met
tier by crowd of their friends
Saturday afternoon, following an
investigation made by a commit
tee representing the Commercial
club and the Chamber of Com
merce. At the conclusion of the
session, which was a stormy one,
Marshal X. Smell, who was not a
member of the committee, moved
that Peterson and Mettler be en-
dorsed. Smell put his motion
and a dozen or more men in the
room shouted approval but the
negative side was not even put to
a vote.
Members of the committee did
not vote on the motion, as was re-
ported, and they have not yet
made their report. !.
The Investigation was brought
about by the action OF Mettler and
Peterson in awarding rock
crusher contract sometime ago.
The committee heard both sides
of the affair and in addition they
were treated to some hot charges
and counter charges hurled by the
two factions of the board.
A salesman for Caldwell Broth
ers, who did not get the contract,
gave HIS side of the affair and then
the salesman for Hunt G. Mottet
presented some facts and wound
up with q Sensational charge
against Dickson, declaring that
the commissions favored Caft-
well Brothers because he held q
$4,000 mortgage ON the firms
building.
Dickson admitted the fact but
declared that It had nothing to do
with the case, az the mortgage
Was placed long ago. Mettler also
charged that Dickson has been

|squandering the peoples money
by paying 81 per cord more for
wood than 1t is worth.
Dickson has been paying $3.50
per cord and he declares 1t can
not be purchased cheaper than
that.
The committee which heard the
evidence, such as 1t was, will
probably make a report this week
and 1t is not improbable that 1t
will show conditions in the county
administration to be about as the
Times has stated.
A report was submitted to the
committee by Mettler showing
that the road and bridge fund is
in the hole to he amount of only
$S8,000, while as matter of fact
Dickson claims the amount is
$4,000.

GARDEN CITY, Mo-, Feb. "a
In one of the little frame houses
that stick up out of a sea of mud
in this dreary village lives Thorn
ton Augustin Washington, aged
55, drug clerk, painter and plain
citizen.
AS the 177th birthday of Geo.
Washington, F. in P. F., in W., F..
in T. H. o. H. c., was at hand,
journeyed to Garden City to dis
cuss affairs of state with Thornton
Augustin Washington, for, be 1t
known, he is the direct descend
ant of the father of the father of
his country, and If circumstances
had been different in May. 1882,
the drug clerk might today be
king of all America, by the grace
of God, emperor of the Philip
pines, of Porto Rico, of Alaska, of
Hawaii and Guam and the canal
zone.
Instead of preparing pink pills
for pale people he might be on a
throne In Washington, guiding the
destinies of the worlds greatest
nation.
There is only one flaw in Thorn
ton Washington's title. Geo.
Washington, commander-in-chi
of the colonial armies, and brother
to Thornton Washington great
great grandfather, refused the
crown which royalists and those
who didn't believe in the new
idea, urgod him to take. With a
devoted army behind him, the
stroke of state would have been
easy. But Geo. Washington, after
reflection, refused.
With the refusal Thornton
Augustin Washington lost for all
time his chance. He was eldest
son of eldest son all along the
line. The only real reason that
he isn't Thornton ii, sixth in the
line of Washington royalty, is that
Geo. Washington wouldn't start
the line.
If the Missouri chemist were
king, he would be the last of his
line. He is a bachelor, he has NO

PARAOES
TO-DAY
Soldiers, Elks and Red

Washington's birthday ami
versary was celebrated today in
Tacoma with unusual zeal by pa
triotic citizens. Flags fioated all
over the city, business was gen.

tions were closed and in every
school house programs of eulogy
were given to commemorate the
works of the father of his. coun-
try, who is held up to the small
boy as the fellow who never told
a lie.
The Red Men claim their order
dates back to the days of WASH
ington and they celebrated with a
big red fire parade this afternoon
when all the braves came out on
bronchos and in buckskins and
long feathers in spectacular array.
The procession covered the main
business streets of the city.
The Elks once a year dust on
their plug hats for silk tile par
ade and all regards were broken
today by this order with nearly
1000 in line. Practically every
silk hat in town was drafted into
service for the occasion.
Tonight the Elks will conclude
the days celebration with a big
banquet, followed by plenty of
oratory and good music.
To show respect for the military
career of the great Washington,
the national guard with troop B
and the local infantry companies
came out this afternoon for a par
ade.
The great military ball, the first
to be held in the new armory,
will take place this evening. 1t
is expected to be the finest event
of the kind that has taken place
in this city.
