subject OF conservation. On Saturday
he will take part in the celebration
of .JJncle Remus Day" at Atlanta. Inc
late Joel Chandler Harris, creator OF
s.UJnclc Remus," was close personal
friend of Colonel Roosevelt and the
tribute of the latter to the gentle hu-
morst will doubtless be masterpiece.

scheduled to speak next Monday. he
will then proceed to Peoria, where on
Wednesday he is to deliver an address
before a gathering of the knights OF
Columbus. which it is believed VIII

will tell his side of the controversy
which resulted from his decision not
to visit Pope Plus because OF the re-
strictions imposed by the vatican.
On the following day Colonel Roose-
welt will invade Indiana and deliver an
address in behalf of Senator Bever-
idge. This speech will deal with poll

Place Blame for Accident.

The blame for the accident is laid
by the officials of the road on the
crew of local car No. IA, which was
and John Herman, mOtorman. both of
StaUnton. This car was northbound,
running on it's regular schedule. and
had orders to wait at Staunton for
two sections of train No. 73, which
was bound for st. Louis. The north
bound car waited until the first sec
ton had passed and then, in total dis
regard of orders. pulled out on the
main track and started ahead.
Two miles north of Stauuton is
DickerSOn'S curve, sharp bend in
the track toward which the ground
slopes both from the north and from
the south. Dense foliage grows on
the inner side of the curve and it is
impossible to see for any distance
ahead. Both cars, moving at fully
forty miles an hour, approached this
curve from opposite directions, both
of them tearing along on a down
grade. The mOtormen did not dis
Germ the danger until the cars were
too close to avoid an accident
Both Herman and Leonard of car
No ii and Conductor Duncan and
Motorman Young of car No. 73, realiZ-
ing that there was no hope of avoid.
ing the collision, shrieked to the pas
sengers to save themselves and then
leaped for their lives. All four were
badly bruised and scratched but es-
capped without serious injuries.
Mo Chance for Escape.
For the passengers shut in the two
cars there was no chance. And in
another second they came together
with splintering crash. The north
bound car tore into car No. rs. split
ting it wide open and literally raking
the passengers from their seats. Both
cars practically reared OF end and
then fell back into a tangled mass of
splintered wood and twisted iron,
which was literally packed with the
dead and dying. and down the sides
of which, in a dozen places, the blood
trickled in streams. Nearly every pas
senger on the southbound car was
killed or seriously injured.
The passengers of car No. IA were
more fortunate and greater proper.
ton of them escaped death or injury.
Word of the accident was immedi.
ately telephoned to Springfield, to
Peoria and st. Louis. and relief trains
were started at once from all three
points, carrying all of the physicians
and nurses that were Immediately
available. By the time the first re-
lief car had reached the scene of the
wreck the farmers of the neighbor-
hood and the citizens of Stanton had
practically cleared the wreck of the
dead and injured. Twenty-eight bod
les were Immediately placed upon 4,
car and sent to Carlinville, ILL.,, where
they were laid in rows in an under
taking establishment.
Many of the dead are so shockingly
| mangled that it is possible that some
of them will never be known.
