KING MANUEL FLEES| % KILLED IN WRECK
ROYAL FAMILY TAKE REFUGE AT
MARA, PORTUGAL.
Britain May Interfere-spain Fears
Spread Of i~nsurrection.

Lisbon.-The capital is now COM
pletely in the hands of the Republic
ans, who have formed a provisional
government with Theophile Braga as
president. A new national flag of red
and green is flying owe all the public
buildings, including the town hall.
King Manuel, with the queen mother,
Amelie, and Marie Pia, has taken ref
uge at MARIA, twenty-three miles from
Lisbon.
1t is impossible to estimate the
number of those killed or wounded,
but it is expected to reach several
hundred. The city has been consider
ably damaged by the bombardment of
the insurgent warships. The buildings
occupied by the ministries around the
Praca de Commercial and the Necessi-
da des Palace were made the partic-
ular targets of the shells from the
warships and today show the effects
of broken walls and turrets. The
tower of the church attached t the
palace was demolished.
Red Cross Society workers and po-
ficemen are patrolling the streets and
removing the dead and wounded. The
revolutionists raided all buildings
which few the old flag and tore down
the emblem of the monarchy. The
warships greeted the hosting of the
Republican flag with salutes Of ar.
tillery.
Already British warships are on the
way to protect British interests at the
scene of trouble. The American gun
boats Petrol and Wheeling are at Ge-
noa, within easy reach of Lisbon If the
American government decides to send
them there. No detailed account OF
the fighting has yet been received or
any definite estimate of the casualties.
A significant incident is the visit paid
by the Spanish minister to the Repub-
lican leaders after the fall of the pal
ace and the flag of the revolution was
hoisted on the town hall.

Frank B. Hartman, Charles 3. Ew-
Ing and J. M. Taylor, former Illinois
Central officials.
In addition to declaring that he had
made payments to Illinois Cetral In

the Memphis Car Company, Simms
traced from his records the move

These were cars said to have been

The Blue Island Company fled q

For Illinois Central car 104,954 q

"Car No. 104 ,954 was an all-steel

the effect that the company has en-
cred on q thoroughly mapped out

pressmen r. They Expect to
Regain Their Rights.


Atlanta, Ga.-Gioffrd Pinchot, at the
initial meeting OF the Southern Con-
servation Congress, declared that the
South is as vitality converted with the
movement for the conservation Of the
nations natural as is any
section of the country, and he warned
the S~outherners that the big corpo-
rations already were actively working
to secure a monopoly Of the resources
Of this section.
"Your w~aterpower resources here IN
the South are SO completely in the
hands OF the Duke interests and OF the
General Electric interests" ne said,
that 1t will be almost impossible for
independents to break into the water
power market"
He laid particular stress on the
Appalachian forests. saying that they
were among the finest in the whole
country, and that the South's oppor-
tunity for forestry development is I'm
surpassed by any other section of the
United States. He said that never
before has there been so good a
chance to pass the Southern Appa-
lachian and White Mountain forest
bill as there will be before the senate
next February, and he urged all South
erners to get behind their representa-
tives in congress to push this meas
ure.
No other section of the country, he
said, has suffered SO much from soil
erosion as the South. He recommend.
ed that every farmer learn contour
planting to keep the soil on the hill
sides and slopes.

there and had put a pair of scissors
by her. When the mother discovered

true. but after a physician had arrived
and made an examination he informed
them that their little one had been
shot. They began an investigation,
and found a bullet imbedded in the
floor. One empty shell in the pistol
and the confession Of the boy brought
out the sad story.

TWO TRAINS COLLIDE HEAD-oN
AT SHARP CURVE.
Crew Of Local Train Disobeyed Their
Orders-HorrifyIng Scenes
Follow Crash.

Stanton, M.-Disregard of the
train dispatcher's orders and a sharp
bend in the track, which hid two
rushing trolley cars from each other,
were responsible for the most appall-
Ing wreck in the history Of the cleo.
trio railroads of Illinois. Twenty-eight
people were instantly killed. n died
on the way to a hospital and another
is not expected to live, and twenty-six
other people sustained more or less
serious injury.
The collision occurred between local
train No. IA, northbound, and an ex-
cursion train, No. 70, headed toward
st. Louis, and loaded with passengers
on their way to view the parade of the
Yelled Prophets at st. Louis.
The special train from Staunton,
bearing the twenty-eight dead, reached
Carlinville at $50 and volunteers Of
fered their services in carrying the
torn and mangled bodies to the un-
u tdh1d6 pa u 4 ". l1CkAL "
Bros. Hundreds crowded about while
the officers fought to keep them back,
to permit the work of Identification to
go on ~undisturbed. But relatives Of
those missing were irresistible in their
efforts to see the dead, and the most
intense excitement prevailed.
So mangled are some of the bodies
they can not be recognized sven by
those who are sure they have relatives
among the victims.
The scenes attending the wreck
were indescribable in their horror, as
the injured screamed for help while
pinned beneath the wreckage. The
few who escaped without injury hero
ically went to work in the mangled
mass of bleeding bodies and endeay-
ored to extricate the dead from the
dying and injured.
For the passengers shut in the two
cars there was no chance. In another
second the cars came together with a
splintering crash. The northbound car
tore into a No. 70, splitting 1t wide
open and literally raking the passen-
gers from their seats. Both cars prac-
tically reared on end and then fell
back into a tangle mass Of splintered
wood and twisted iron which was lit
orally packed with the dead and dy.
ing and down the sides of which, in a
dozen places, blood trickled in
streams. Nearly every passenger on
the southbound a was killed or Sc
