CADETS "sILENCE" CAPTAIN.
Sent supperless to Bed for Indigni-
ties to Officer.

West Point, N. Y.-Severe meas
ures of discipline have fallen upon
the United States military cadets at
West Point for having dared twice to
mete out 1.-The silence" to Captain Ed
win Landon, an instructor who had
done something to incur the resent
ment of the youthful warriors.
The trouble started at mess when
Captain Landon entered He got
the silence. . 1t is most embar-
RAISING and uncomfortable expert
ence to undergo. His presence was
ignored
Corrective measures were applied
instantly. There was no supper for
the boys, VINO were sent up to their
rooms and locked in. And the hop
that was to have been held was can
celled by orders. That grieved the
girls. They and their chaperons had
come from New York, Albany.
Poughkeepsie, Newburg and other
cities for the dance.
When the boys marched down from
their rooms to mess next day it may
be imagined how hungry they were.
But they we're still sore in spirit.
Again did Captain Landon get "the
silence" The youths were fed. but
they were compelled to march Ave
times around the barracks and were
then sent to their rooms.

TWO SCORE KILLED
IN A TROLLEY WRECK
Special Car and Express Collide Near
Fort Wayne-Victims Were
Merrymakers.

Fort Wayne, Ind - Thirty-nine
persons were killed and twenty or
more fatally injured when south
bound limited and northbound local
car on the Wabash Valley traction
line collided near Kingsland, north of
this city.
The accident occurred on short
curve and many of the bodies were so
mangled that identification was long
impossible.
Hardly a passenger in the two cars
escaped injury, but the less seriously
hurt gave what assistance they could
and in few minutes twenty-six mutt
lated bodies were carried to the road
side and laid along the track.
Others were SO pinioned in the
debris that they could not be reached
till wrecking crews arrived.
The northbound car was loaded
with people coming to the county fair
here and among them were many
women and children.
What led to the accident is not
known, but it is supposed that there
was a misunderstanding Of orders.
The car carrying the people to the
fair was an extra, and it is believed
that it's position on the road was not
definitely known and that the limited,
running on it's own time, was not
appraised of its approach.

Cured is one of the shortest on the
Wabash Valley line and there was
hardly a moment after the local was
sighted before the crash came. Even
the motormen ON the two cars had
not time to jump, so close were they
together when they discovered each
other.
Thirty-six of the dead have been
identified, but there are three bodies
not yet identified by friends. The
known dead are:

turesque Ruler Pensioned.
New York.-His Highness Hadji
Mohammed Jumalul Hiram, sultan of
Sulu, and maybe the highest living
type of good loser" realized his
dream of years when on board the
st. Louis of the American line and
with his retinue of fourteen persons

range view of his captors.
The customs men were ordered by
the United States treasury to "expe-
dite" the Filipino potentate's lug
gage, which is reported to include
$500, 900 in pearls.
The sultan used to get $4,000 a
year as salary, but when Uncle Sam
took him under the American Eagles
wing the salary was = reduced to
$3.50, with an extra allowance for
board. lodging and firewood. The
sultan, 1t is said, is Merry Old Soul,
like Old King Cole, and is scarcely
less fond of whist than was Kalakaua,
the king of the Sandwich islands,
who commonly was called King Cal
leo for short
Hadji Mohammed Jumalul Hiram
is on lis way around the world, see
lag the sights, and incidentally SELL
ing pearls from his princely private
collection. After taking brief whirl
about Little Old New York he will
go to Washington with Col. H. L..
Scott, U. s. A., and will shake hands
with President Taft.
The sultan is forty years old, five
feet five inches high, well groomed
and intelligent. He is married, but
has no children to be cheated of the
crown. He left Jolo on June ~, and
has spent the intervening time in sAa-
ing Europe.
