COURT ANNULS MARRIAGE
Decides Millionaire Bridegroom Was
of Unsound Mind.

Greenfield, Ind, Jan. 1S.-In the cir
cult court here Judge Mason annulled
the marriage of Millionaire George
Rhodius and Alma Dare on the ground
that Rhodius was not of sound mind
when the marriage took place.
Counsel for the defense gave notice
of his intention to file motion for
new trial, but date for arguments on
the motion was not set.
Rhodius, minor, was married in
1907 to Elma Doddsworth, better
known as Elma Dare, at Louisville,
Ky. Immediately after the marriage
the two sought refuge In the noun
tains of Pennsylvania. They were
found by friends of Rhodius' dead
mother and returned to Indianapolis.
In a petition for guardian, which fol
lowed, it was charged that Rhodius
was of unsound mind. A guardian
was appointed and he started the suit
for an annulment of the marriage
charging that Rhodius had been
drugged and taken from a hotel in
Indianapolis to Louisville.

MESSINA'S DEAD

BODIES OF CHENEYS FOUND

Remains of United States Consul and
Wife Recovered by Sailors From
the Battleship IIlinois-Unfortuna
Couple Apparently Met Death in
the Earthquake While Asleep in the
Consulate.
Messina, Jan. 1S.-An official esti-
mate of the dead in Messina as a re-
suit of the catastrophe of Dec. %,
made by Stuart X. Lupton, the Amer
lean vice consul, on behalf of the
American embassy at Rome, places
the number at 10000. Mr.. Lupton
estimates also that there are today
still 10000 people in the city. The
work of getting information concern
ing individuals who were in Messina
at the time of the earthquake is ex-
tremely difficult, as there are undoubt-
edly still tens of thousands under the
ruins and other tens of thousands
have scattered themselves throughout
Sicily and the peninsula. The people
still in Messina are camping out in
the outskirts and it has been quite
impossible to take any census of
them.

bled the navy department that the
bodies of the American consul, Arthur
S. Cheney, and Mrs. Cheney have
been found
The bodies were recovered in what
evidently had been the bedroom of
the Cheneys. They were found lying
side by side Mr.. Cheney was identi-
fed by a slight physical deformity,
While the body of his wife was recog-

There is reason to believe that death

they were asleep.
No less than 400 men from the Illi-

excavation.
AS soon as they were unearthed the
bodies were placed in coffins and con-
veyed aboard the supply ship Culgoa,
which left here at once for Naples,
where they will be transferred to
some liner sailing for the United
States.

TO DETERMINE HIS SANITY
Harry X. Thaw Will BE Tried in New
York City.


Nyack, N. Y, Jan. 1S.-Harry K
Thaw will be given a trial in New
York city to determine whether he
Is insane or sane. An order to that
effect was issued by Justice A. s..
Tompkins. to whom an appeal asking
for trial was made by Mrs. William
Thaw, Harrys mother.
Under Justice Tompkins' decision
Thaw will not be given a trial by
jury. Mrs. Thaw's petition requested
such hearing, but as Justice Mills
had already refused to grant sim
liar request Justice Tompkins denied
that portion of the petition and or
dered that the case be heard before a
court or judge of New York city with
or without the assistance of referee,
as the trial Judge may decide
The questions presented to Justice
Tompkins for his decision included
the validity of the commitment, the
present mental condition of the pris-
oner and whether it is now safe for
him to be at large. Justice Tompkins
decided that he will not consider the
question OF validity, as that has al
ready been passed upon adversely by
Justices Morschauser and Mills and
Is now on appeal to the appellate divi-
sion. The question of Thaw's pres

CRASH WITH AWFUL FORCE

Passenger Train Going Down Grade
at Rapid Speed coIIdes With Dou-
BILE Header rei1ht LaboriousIy
Climbing iiiI--First Three Coaches
Telescoped and but One Occupant
of Chair Car Escapes Death.
Glenwood Springs, Colo, Jan. 49,
Fifty were killed and as many more
injured in collision at Dotscro sid
ing, about twenty miles east of this
city, between Denver and Rio Grande
passenger train No. 5, westbound, and
freight No. 66, eastbound
1t is said the wreck was caused by
the failure of Engineer Gus Olson of
the passenger train to correctly read
the time indicated by his watch. When
nearing Dotsero Olson looked at his
watch and read the time to be 9:45
p. m. 1t was then $50. Thinking he
had plenty of time to make the next
siding below Dostero he pulled the
throttle of his engine wide open and
was making forty-five miles an hour
On down grade when he collided
with the freight, which was labori-
ously climbing the hill under a full
head of steam of two big engines.
When the passenger did not stop
at Dotsero Conductor Edward Nc
Curdy jumped to the bellcord and sig
nailed to the engineer to stop the
train, but it was then too late to avoid
the disaster and the two trains
crashed together with terrible impact.
Engines Reduced to Scrap Iron.
The three big engines telescoped
and when they came to standstill
resembled one huge piece of twisted
steel and iron rods and mechanism.
The combination baggage and ex-
press car, the smoker and the day
coach, which followed the engine,
telescoped, while the three heavy
Pullman sleepers and diner crushed
them into a mass against the engine.
The day coaches were smashed. Ev-
cry person except one in the chair
car was killed. Eight of the passen-
gers were decapitated as though by
guillotine, their heads rolling from
their bodies. Most of the bodies of
the dead are mutilated so badly that
Identification may take many hours.
The only person to escape in the
chair car was Alice Williams, four
1 years old, from some point in Iowa.
She was found under her dead mother,
slightly bruised and covered from
head to foot with blood. The child
was taken to Glenwood Springs on
the relief train.

OOKALA PLANTATION
WILL BE CONTINUED

! Two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars is the price said to have been paid
by Theo Fl. Davies & Co., for the prop
erty of the Ookala Sugar Plantation,
which they secured yesterday. The
charter of the company expired on the
first of the month and, according to
law, the directors of the corporation
became the trustees for the stockhold-
ers. They have now sold out, and it
is understood that the plantation will
be continued with w. G. Walker as
manager.
T. FL. Davies & Co. will be the agents
for the new company. The details of
the future action with regard to the
conduct of Ookala have not been learn
ed. 1t is stated that the stockholders
of the old plantation will receive be-
tween twenty-three and twenty four
dollars per share for their stock, the
par value of which was twenty dol
