NEW YORK, April l6--The de-

20 KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK
Eighteen Passengers Lose Lives
In a Collision on the C, H. & D.

Middletown, Ohio. - The Cincin-
natl section of the Twentieth Century
Limited from New York to Cincinnati,
making a detour over the tracks OF
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad to avoid a blocked track at
Genoa on the "Big Four" was
wrecked at 100 p. m. in a frightful
head-on collision with a north-bound
freight train. Twenty persons, in
Guiding three women, were killed out
right, three others were probably ia
tally hurt and twenty-five were ser1-
ously injured.
All but four of the dead have been
identified, and the identified are all
from Ohio. 1t is believed hat the
four unidentified dead, n of whom
is a woman, are also from this State.
A misunderstanding of orders is
said to be responsible for the disaster,
one of the worst in the history OF
modern limited trains, but from what
can be learned the passenger train
appears to have been travelling wild
at the rate of fifty miles an hour, on
the supposition that a clear track was
ahead.
Of the killed eighteen were passen-
gers, the other victims being members
of the passenger train crew. The
dead are:

The Exodus to Europe.

It can readily be seen from even a
casual glance at the lists of Phila-
~1elphians sailing for Europe that the
number is extraordinarily large this
year. There is the word Of the steam
ship booking agencies, too, that never
before have so many persons decided
upon trips to Europe.
These sailing lists also disclose the
fact that in the feminine majority
there is another majority-that OF
young, unmarried m Many OF
these doubtless are artists, teachers
and students in various lines, to
whom a summer in Europe means
much of an illumination. Not SO
many years ago this class of travel
ers was a very small one, not by rea-
son of a lack of desire to see the
treasures which Europe has to show,
but because the cost of a transatlan-
tic journey, as we'll as the difficulties
which were said to be encountered
there, prevented. Nowadays, how
ever, the whole matter has been sim
plified to a great extent, and even
lone women of the "clinging vine''
variety may make a journey through
Europe with safety and comfort and
not spend much money, either

HUGHES SUGGESTED
FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.

Washington, D. C.-The death of
Chief Justice Fuller is regarded here
in a national II as the most impor-
tant happening since the election of
President Taft. Fuller's death practi-
cally means the reconstruction of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
With questions pending before the
court that are of the widest political
Importance, President Taft has thrust
upon him a responsibility that has
not fallen to any other President in a
generation past.
Beverly, Mass. = While President
Taft declines d~efinitelyto commit him
self in any way, it is regarded here as
practically certain that Governor
Charles E. Hughes of New York will
be the next Chief Justice of the Uni
ted States. Governor Hughes already
has accepted appointment as an Asso-
ciate Justice, and his nomination to
that place has been confirmed by the
Senate.

Bare Feet and Naked Backs.

This glowing nugget is from the
address delivered by Mr.. E. D. Smith,
Junior Senator from South Carolina,
at the commencement exercises of
Erskine College at Due West last
Tuesday:
and to-day in America a thousand
little bare feet and naked backs, ig-
norant and blank faces, are Juggling
at the heartstrings of suffering par
ents and weakening the ties that nave
bound Americans to the Stars and
Stripes"
The Senator's speech, as is plain,
was a series of heart-throbs. The
Senator called it Some Old Battles
Fought on New Ground" but we like
better the heading given it by the
esteemed Florence Times to-wit,
'The Beast VS.. Humanity." We have
a single inquiry to make: How does
it happen that there are no more OF
the little bare feet" than of the
naked backs?" Two feet to one
back is the usual rule.-Charleston

ropes, his defensive power seeming to
desert him in an instant. Johnson
then dashed in with the fury of a
tiger, and a rain of leftS and rights
delivered at close quarters sent JEFF
fries Keeling blindly. Another series
of short, snappy punches, and the big
white giant went down for the first
time in his ring career. He fell under
the top rope and over the lower one
to the oyerhang of the platform. Rest
ing on his launches and right elbow,
Jeffries looked around in a dazed way,
but crawled up at the count of nine.
While he was down Johnson stood
almost over his fallen foe until Rick
ard waved him back. He was still
ready to strike, however, and when
Jeffries arose from his knees, Johnson
again dashed in. Jeffries reeled about
and tried to clinch, but Johnson
eluded him and swung another crush
ing blow to the unprotected jaw.
| Again Jeffries sank to his knees, weak
and qufvering, but again he staggered
| to his feet at the count of eight, with
the crowd shouting:
stop it! Stop it! Don't let him
be knocked outii"
Richard gave no heed to these ap-
peals. Jeffries was helpless, and as
he aimlessly reached a. standing posi-
ton the negro was waiting for him.
A left, a right and another left, short,
snappy, powerful blows, found their
mark on Jeffries' chin, and down he
went for the third time. Again he
sprawled over the lower rope, hanging
half outside the ring
The timekeeper raised and lowered
his arm, tolling off the seconds. He
had reached the count of seven, when
some of Jeffries' seconds put foot in
side the ropes and Richard walked
between the fallen man and the negro
champion. Placing his hand on John
sons shoulder, he declared him the
winner. While Jeffries was not
counted out, it was merely a technical
evasion. 1t was all too plain that the
man who had never tasted defeat had
met his Waterloo and was in no con
dition to rise before the fateful count
of ten.
After the fight, Jeffries said: "The
best man won. 1 did not realize my
limitations until after the first few
rounds. 1 then discovered what we
all discover sooner or later. l thought

Race Riots Follow Victory of Johnsos

Race Riots Follow Victory of Johnsoa
New York City.-The victory OF
Jack Johnson over Jim Jeffries- was
the cause of race riots in nearly every
city of size in the United States.
Thousands of negroes were beaten
and ten are dead and two dying, one
of these in New York.
The mob spirit seemed to rise
wherever a negro cheered for John
son after the fight OF permitted his
exultation over the victory to grow to
an extent that made it offensive.
Negroes were chased through the
streets of the cities of the South and
North. In Uvaldia, Ca, three negroes
were killed. One was reported as
killed in Cincinnati, n is dead in
Omaha, n in Mounds, ILL.,, two in
Lake Providence, La, two in Little
Rock, Ark, one is mortally wounded
in Tallulah, La, and in New York one
had his head fractured by a piece of
lead pipe and will die. Only the
bravery of a white man prevented
him from being beaten to death a few
doors from Central Park West.
In every city the police were on the
jump all night quelling disturbances.
In New York reserves were called
time and again to put down mobs that
had gathered. Negroes were pulled
from street cars and beaten.

were beaten in negro sections of the

The moving pictures of the John.
SOMETIMES prize fight at Reno may
not be worth the million dollars their
owners r reported to expect to make
out of them. Weeks before the men
met in the ring at Reno clergymen in
various parts of the country an
nounced their intention to try to stop
the exhibition of the pictures on the
ground that they would cause race
riots and have a bad effect on those
who should see them, and especially
on children.
Washington, D. CA countrywide
movement to prevent moving picture
shows from exhibiting the views of
the Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno has
been started in this city. Major
Richard Sylvester, Chief of Police Of
Washington and president of the In
ternational Association of Police
Chiefs. is behind it. Major Sylvester
is confident that the District legal u
thorities will put a ban on the fight
pictures.
Washington, Atlanta, Baltimore,
st. Louis and Cincinnati are among
the towns which already have decided
not to permit the exhibition OF. the
pictures.
The objection is based on the scenes
of disorder and the display of a bitter
race feeling shown in the numerous
street riots following the contest.
