AMENDMENT PREVENTS
NEGROES FROM VOTING

WESTVILIE, Okla, Aug. 9.-Appli-
cation of the grandfather clause
amendment for the first time in an
election here yesterday proved to be
hard on the negroes on whom it was
exercised. But three of 100 negroes
passed the educational test, which the
clause requires.
No official announcement that the
"grandfather' clause was carried in the
election last Tuesday has yet been
made. Election officials, however, is
sued a statement today saying they
believed precedent warranted the ap-
plication of the law. The precedent re-
ferred to was the action of Governor
Haskell in removing the state capital
to Oklahoma City from Guthrie before
the official vote had been given out.
The election here yesterday had to do
with the granting of a gas franchise.

RAILROAD ACCI-
DENT.

Thirty-seven persons were killed
and from 16 to 25 injured in COLI
sion on the Illinois Traction system,
two miles north of Staunton, Illinois,
late yesterday.
Three Of the injured and possibly
more are not expected to survive.
The collision occurred between q
local train, northbound, and an ex-
cursion train headed toward st. LOUIS
and loaded with passengers on their
way to view the parade OF the Yelled
Prophets at st. Louis. The accident,
it is said, was due entirely to the dis
regard OF orders by the crew of the
local.
The local train had orders to pass
the southbound train at Staunton.
The latter train was running in two
sections and the orders given to the
local were that it should pass both
sections OF the southbound train at
Staunton. The first section had pas.
sed when the crew of the local pulled
out on the main track, needless Of
the second section, and started north
At sharp turn, called Dickersons
Curve, two miles north Of Stauntcn
the two trains came together in q splin-
tering crash.
Dickerson's Curve is at the bottom
OF decline both from the north. and
from the south. The local train and
the second section of the excursion
train were both on the down grade
and moving at speed OF 40 miles
an hour when they met. The col
lision occurred right at the bottom OF
the double incline and ut the sharpest
part of the curve.
The cars were so close that it was i'm
possible for either Of them to stop or
slow down. The. crews were able to do
nothing except set the break and Jump
for their lives. The crew Of the local
and the crew OF the special leaped as
soon rs they saw the collision was inevi=
table, and all four escaped without Sc
rious injury.
They were bandly shaken up, but
were able to lend assistance to the in
jured. None OF the passengees had q
chance for safety rs the crash between
the cars followed Immediately the cries
of warning issued by the conductors
and motormen as the jumped from the
trains.
Tho two cars came together with such
awful force that they were not only
telescoped, but they were actually bat
ted out OF all semblance to their
original shape. They were simply a
mass of, splintered wood and twisted
iron and steel, eight feet high. In this
pile Of wreckage, the dead and wounded
were flung in every conceivable position
and every imaginable form of multila-:
ton. Some OF the bodies Of the dead
were actually torn apart and streams
OF blood flowed down the debris in a
dozen places.

FREED on UNWRITTEN LAW.

Katherine Botti, girl Of only IS
years, who slew her godfather with an
axe and red-hot poker in ayenging
his theft Of her honor, was cleared OF
criminal charges in Pittsburg, Pa, late
yesterday on the ground that the homi-
eide was justifable. Judge John NJ.
Swearingen, in charging the jurors
after two-days recital of testimony,
upheld the unwritten law. The girl
had forced the trial with confidence
that her act was warranted, but she
went to her home yesterday evening
free but to face motherhood soon.
PasQualc Volpe, an Italian, who had
boarded at her home in Wilmerding
ever since the girls infancy and who
acted as her godfather, was the victim
While she was in the cellar getting a
sack Of potatoes he is alleged to have
abused her, and on August II last, fol-
lowing which she struck him uncon-
scious with an axe and ran a poker
through his body. She related her
story on the stand.
He bad burned my heart" she
said, "and wanted to burn his" A
number Of witnesses testified to the
girls good character, to her studious
habits in school and hard work at home
helping her mother.
Although the girl had been indicted
for first degree murder, the prosecution
had not pressed for conviction entail
ing so severe penalty. Attorney Rou-
and merely urged that the child be
placed in an institution, but the girls
counsel dramatically demanded liberty
or death"
Judge Swearingen's charge was that
if Volpe went to the cellar with express
purpose to commit an abuse against
the girl, the child had right to kill
him.

and the house was threatened.
