The route of the New York-Atlanta
National Highway leads across Staten
Island, then to Trenton, crosses the
Delaware River at that point and
thence proceeds to Philadelphia.
From Philadelphia the route leads al
most due westward to Gettysburg
via Lancaster and York. At Gettys-
burg the route turns southwark to
Hagerstown, thence to Shepherds
town. West Virginia, and from there
to Winchester. From this point the
route follows the famous Shenandoah
Valley pike to Staunton. From
Staunton the route proceeds south
ward via National Fridge TO Roanoke.
South of Roanoke is a stretch of
about fifty miles across the mount
aims where the worst roads of the en-
tire route are encountered. AS soon
as the highway enters North Caro-
lima better conditions are found, and
there are good roads almost all the
way across the State via Winston
Salem, Greensboro and Charlotte.
Greenville and Anderson are the prin-
cipal towns in South Carolina through
which the route passes, and entering
Georgia the route proceeds via Roys-
ton, Winder and Lawrenceville to At

Robbed of SI,l54

A. j. Salbrelly railroadman of Chi
cago, showed more caution in hiding
away his valuables before he took to his
bed in the Grand hotel than a talent
for remembering the next morning
where he had placed his purse.
Salbrelly Registered at the Grand
hotel Sunday evening. He had with him
s1,154 in bills and a certified check. In
the morning he reported to Robert Ko-
paid. tie room clerk, that his goods had
been stolen or misplaced He was sure
that he had left them on the dresser.
A search was made in Salbrelly's pres
ence. but the s1.154 was not to be found.
With a fine instinct Kopald began to
ransack the room. He turned up the
mattress and there lay the purse, the
bills and the certified check. Salbrelly
murmured, "Oh, forgot" and hurried
to take train east to his home.

ARMY EMBEzzLER
SENTENCED TO JAIL
Captain Twice Commended for
Distinguished Service Pleads
Guilty to Theft

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Captain Thonn-
as Franklin. T. s. A, twice commended
by General Chaffee and General Otis for
distinguished service in China and at
Manila, pleaded guilty today to long
series of petty embezzlements from the
mess fund of the West Point cadets.
He was sentenced by Judge Hand in
years and six months in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. His coun-
sci gave notice that he would apply for
a writ of error and review
As commissary and treasurer of the

States subtreasury in this city and drew
against for mess supplies. The total
amount of his defalcation ran TO $3.50,
of which s4.sS1 was represented by
false vouchers for approval of the
first arraignment last June Franklin
pleaded not guilty and subsequently
demurred The demurrers were over
ruled and the trial was set for today
The statute of limitations in the court
martial bars offenses committed only
two years back, as against three years
in the federal courts. and for this
reason Judge Hand and not Major Gen.
eral Wood heard the case.
Captain T. S. Ansell urged for the
prisoner that his client had risen from
the ranks by merit and that his irreg-
ularities were chargeable to his ef-
forts to raise large family on an
officers pay.
The sentence. besides the penalty it
sets. automatically cashiers Captain
franklin from the army and deprives
his family of any prospects of a retire
ment pension.

MANY KILLED IN
BIG TRAIN WRECK
Twentieth Century Limited in
Rear End Collision; Six
Bodies Recovered

ERIE, Pa. Dec. 13.-The Twentieth
Century limited the New York Central
fast train, en- route from Chicago to
New York, collided with. the rear end
of passenger train No. 10 on the Lake
Shore railroad at Northeast, Pa, 10
miles east of here, shortly after mid
night. At the time of the collision the
Twentieth Century was making 81
miles an hour
six bodies have lalready been taken
from the wreck. and it is believed there
will be more fatalities. A relief train
left here at midnight, loaded with
nurses and doctors. for the scene of the
wreck.
Northeast is small town and at
and telephone communication. Reports
of the wreck did not reach here until
late and then it was said that two
freight trains came together with no
loss of life.
The twentieth century limited is due
at Erie at 11:45 p. m. and passed run
ming faster than scheduled time.
Train No. 10, also east bound. left
here at 1906 p. m. and was scheduled
to take the siding at Northeast, but it
is believed that the train did not reach
the siding far enough in advance of
the fast flyer to make a proper clear
ance The wreck occurred directly op-
posite the Northeast railway station.
Railway officials here refuse to make
public any facts concerning the wreck.
Every ambulance in Erie is lined up
at the Lake Shore railroad station here,
while hospitals have been notified to
prepare to take care of many injured.
Coroner Hanley has been notified of
the wreck and is preparing his morgue
for the reception of the dead that may
be bought here

Of his most intimate friend, Baroness

The day was a mixture of anxiety,

wefting his cheeks. approached the bed
and heard the kings confession and
administered the sacraments Of COM
munion and extreme unction.
In the morning the king. assisted by
a notary and solicitors. settled his pri-

will with perfect composure. In the
afternoon he took farewell of the court
officials. To Count Oultrement. mar
shaI Of the court. his majesty said:
Says Farewell to Court
You have served me we'll for more
than 20 years. I am grateful Before

The king then summoned Princess

times, telling her not to cry. She was
led fainting from the room. Other rel
