With day that was equally as
far, if not fairer, than the two pre-
ceding it, with crowd that was
greater and more enthusiastic; and
with the city attired in garments of
even more gala character, and its
people in the gayest and brightest
of moods-for today was Salem day
the festivities of the three-day
Cherry Fair celebration was re-
sumed this morning.

Flight Proves Unsuccessful.
For fully an hour the immense
crowd waited patiently for the bal

Professor LaStrang experienced
some trouble yesterday in starting
the aerial craft on its flight. but
finally made successful flight but
somehow, despite his efforts, he was
unable to repeat It this morning
He has not, however, abandoned his
determination TO give the people

This afternoon the crowd was en-

husbands parents. This is the first
visit here of Mrs. Christy since the
suit for the custody of the child last
winter Reports are current of a
reconciliation. Mrs. Christy refused
to discuss the reports, and the artist,
on being questioned, replied that the
time had not yet arrived for talking
for publication.
It is reported that the mother S
love for the little girl has been the
means of getting husband and wife
into a mutual understanding. Over
the telephone Christy laughingly re-
fused to discuss the report. Friends
of the couple, however, said they
have agreed to end their separation
the result of which was bitter con
test last winter in the probate court
for possession of the child. Since
parting from her husband, Mrs

TOPEKA, Kansas, Sept. 22.-When
Gov. Stubs called the freight rate
conference together today, no def
nit program of action had been map
ped out. Instead it was apparent that
whatever resolutions were adopted
would depend entirely upon the de-
velopments of the meeting. The re-
port that delegates from Illinois
would present charges to the confer
ence that western roads have violat-
ed the injunction obtained by the gov
ernment against so western roads in
the Mississippi roads, caused
considerable comment
The general result of the confer.
ence will be direct protest to the
interstate commerce commission
against the proposed increase in
rates which the commission now has
under advisement and which is sus
pended to January 5.
Gov. Stubbs of Kansas was chosen
temporary chairman of the confer
encs.
The attendance at the opening was
surprise even to those who hat
planned it. Nearly 500 delegates were
present representing the states of Mis-
souri,, Wyoming, Utah, Minnesota
Arkansas. Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa
Kansas and the two Dakotas.
Gov. Donaghey of Arkansas wa'
the only governor besides Gov. Stubs
of Kansas who was able to attend.

Away.

TOLEDO. Ohio, Sept. 22.-By means
of minute electric lamps which made
it possible to see down woman's
throat and into the lobe of the right
lung, and to insert through the
trachea extensible forceps, Toledo
physician removed fragment of a
tooth from the right lung of Mrs. G.
Cole of Van Vert and without doubt
saved her life.
Last February, while under the in
fluence of an anaesthetic, Mrs Cole
had several teeth extracted. Shortly
after she began to fail in health and
her symptoms pointed, apparently to
tuberculosis.
Certain aspects of the case indicat-
ed the possibility of a foreign sub
stance in the lung and an X-ray eX-
animation proved that portion OF a
tooth had slipped down into the lung.

The movement of the field of high

east of the Mississippi valley. and
the depression from the mountain reg

veloped in the northwest the area of
low pressure extending from western
Texas to Kansas and Nebraska this

This has been attended by showers
in Montana, Colorado and the Da-

lision was so horrible that even those
few survivors who had escaped with
slight injuries were dazed by the
sight of it.
Both cars had been hurled with ter
rifle force from the track, and had
plunged, tangled, splintered and ruin
ed, but still in death embrace, down
into the ditch. From amid this pile
of shattered steel and wood came
yells, screams and groans of agony.
Here and there man or woman des-
perately injured crawled bleeding and
blind with pain from the wreckage.
Some of the dead had been hurled
bodily out of the cars, and could be
seen crumpled and broken at dis
tance of 20 yards or more from the
wreck itself. The body of one head
less woman was found draped over a
barbed-wire fence Is yards away
Crushed under the weight of tons
of wreckage, half dozen of the vic
tins were breathing their last, writh-
ing from nameless wounds, but still
alive. Some prayed, some cursed.
some wept. One man, pinned down
and slowly bleeding to death, could
be heard gasping child's prayer he
had heard at his mothers knee.
For some time the survivors were
so dazed by the shock which had SC
suddenly transferred them from the
midst of crowd of merry makers
face to face with tragedy, that they
did nothing but stare stupidly at the
torn cars and feel vaguely of their
own limbs, astonished that they were
unhurt.
Then they began an attack on the
wreckage in an effort to drag out OF
it, those who still lived. Two cir
cumstances intervened at this time
to save many lives.
One was that Conductor Spiller Of
the south bound car was unhurt. He
knew that Immediately behind his
car was another car, also heavily
loaded, and now only a short dis
! tance from the fatal curve. He had
| the presence of mind to rush up the
track and flag this car before it got
so close to the uprooted trackage thai
! 1t, too, would be unable to stop ant
would be plunged down on top Of the
! dead and injured.
/ The other fortunate circumstance
was that of the two doctors on the
wrecked cars both had escaped witt
SO few hurts that they were perfectly
able to aid the injured.
Individual instances of heroism ant
| fortitude were numerous, A little boy
with his leg crushed under one of the
heavy motors refused to let the res
cuers lift the motor from his limb be

Injured Badly Manned.

After the doctors had been at work
in the wreckage fifteen minutes they
found that there was little for them
to do. The collision had done its
work so we'll that there were few In
iured left to save. Nearly every one
in the north bound car had been kill
ed or had received wounds that must
In a short time prove fatal. Even
those who had escaped with their
lives had been so badly MANNED that
the doctors could do little for them
with the facilities they had at hand.
AS soon as this state of affairs was
made clear messengers were sent off
to adjoining farmhouses for wagons,
The injured were dragged out Of the
ditch and laid on improvised cots on
the grass.
In the meantime the second north
bound car had come up. 1t was i'm
mediately turned into a hospital car.
Such of the wounded as could stand
the journey were picked up and car
ried to nearby homes Of farmers. In
surprisingly short space of time all
OF the injured were being cared for.
