CUP FOR CAVALRY MARKSMEN
Marine Corps Team Will Buy II With
Camp Perry Money

To show their appreciation of the
sportsmanlike conduct of the cavalry
rife team in the Camp Perry shoot
controversy tue Marine Corps team
has decided to use the money prize
of $3.50 which comes to it by virtue
of having been awarded the second
prize in purchasing cup to be pre-
scented to the cavalry arm of the
service.
1t is planned to have the cup as a
trophy, to be awarded TO the cavalry
man making the highest score in the
presidential match. Marksmen from
any other arm of the service are not
entitled to enter a contest for the
cup.
Most of the Marine Corps team
were privates. and their share of the
prize money represented very tidy
sum to them. The suggestion that
the money be used to purchase cup
for the cavalry team came from one
of the enlisted men, and all the
members concurred in it.

O'Clock Tuesday the Kansas came
out, and was succeeded by the New

docks, were cleaned am repainted,
had zines renewed. valves overhauled
and other minor hull repairs made.

seventy-three hours and thirty min
utes. The intervening Sunday, not

TAFT TO ISSUE ORDER
Extends Civil Service to Include
Assistant POStmaSterS.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The first
definite result of the present cabinet
sessions in Washington was the an
nouncement that President Taft will
issue an executive order extending the
civil service to include all assistant
postmasters.
The president also will recommend
to congress that second and third
class postmasters be placed under
civil service. This action is in line
with Postmaster General Hitchcock's
recommendations. By the proposed
order some 5000 assistant postmasters
will be affected
The cabinet took up in detail the
departmental estimates for the COM
ing year. General Wood, before the
cabinet met, went over the war de-
partment estimates with the president
in the absence of Secretary Dickinson.
Mr.. Taft also discussed with his
cabinet the speech he is to deliver in
New York Saturday night. This is ex-
pected to be Mr.. Taft's last political
utterance of the campaign.

FORTY ARE KILLED
Horrible Wreck on Interurban
Road in Indiana.
DISREGARD OF ORDERS ALLEGED
Crew of One of the Cars Accused of
Having Caused Collision by Dis
obeying Instructions.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Sept, 23.-The au-
thorities of Wells county and officials
of the Traction company are making
q rigid investigation to attach respon-
sibility for the collision of two cars
on the Bluffton line of the Fort Wayne
and Wabash Valley Traction company,
in which forty persons were killed and
eight injured.
Frank I. Hardy, superintendent of
transportation of the Traction COM
pany, stated that disregard of orders
caused the wreck and that B. T. Cork
we'll, motorman of the sG1thbound
train, probably is the one to blame.
The disaster, rated as the worst in
all interurban history, occurred at a
sharp curve near Kingland, six miles
from Bluffton.
1t is said that Corkwell was to wait
at Greensboro, a station between
Kingsland and Ossian, for the north
bound train, but that instead of doing
this he tried to meet the other car at
klngsland.
The crash came soon after the
northbound car had left Kingsland.
The cars were telescoped almost their
entire length.
Practically all of the dead persons
we're living in the vicinity of BlufftOn.
1t was a holiday throng bound for
Fort Wayne to attend the state fair.
The local" was filed to the last seat
and there were many persons in the
aisles or on the platforms.
All but One Killed or Injured.
Out of forty-five or fifty persons,
passengers and trainmen, but one man
has so far been discovered who es-
capped entirely unhurt.
Most of the deaths were instan-
taneOus.
The dead were laid in rows in
grove nearby. The bodies were hor-
ribly mangIed. Legs and arms were
severed and in some cases heads near
ly cut from the body.
The identification was slow. The
dead were loaded into two cars and
taken to Bluffton, the wounded to
Fort Wayne.
Conductor Spiller of the Bluffton
local was not seriously injured and
his presence of mind averted another
accident When Spiller saw the ex-
tent of the catastrophe he ran back
toward Kingsland and tagged and
stopped the Indianapolis limited
which was coming full speed. Had
it not been stopped it would have
crashed into the struggling and dy-
ing mass of humanity left in the
wake of the crash,
John R. Boyd of Marion, Ind, was
probably the only passenger aboard
the i'll fated local car who escaped
without any injury.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 24.-With the
permanent organization of the Mid
Western Traffic association, embrac-

CARNATIONS in Middle Western

yielded results more important than
the organizers of the conference had
expected.
The conference closed after the

for the fixing of freight rates and urg-
ing the physical valuation of railroads
as the only effective means of learn
ing whether an increase in rates
