Cold Storage Plant

A bill has been introduced in Con-
Rress to provide a government cold
storage plant in Washington. 1t is
approved by DR.. Wiley the advocate
of pure food laws who thinks such q
plant would result IN better provis-
ions for the army and navy, and cut
out the enormous profits now made
by the meat trusts. It would cost q
million and a half dollars, and would
afford the government q chance to
study and learn the cost Of keeping
perishable foods In a beaIthful condi-
tlon without taking the evidence of
men employed by the trusts. The
army and navy and soldiers homes
could DO supplied with foods of better
quality than they now have at less
expense. Soldiers homes last year
cost moro than million dollars for
meats and the army over two mil.
lion The navy bill for butter alone
was $500, 900. and tho fresh meat for
the navy cost fifteen million dollars
TO say nothing Of bacon, lard and
poultry. It is argued that with a
government plant a large sum could
be saved besides the great profits
now paid to the packers.

Future of shOhOla Falls

The Pa. Coal Company of Shohola
has made its last run of logs for the
season down the creek which for
couple Of miles back from the mill at
Shohola is filled with timber. The
reservoirs will be allowed to run out
to save expense of repairs In summer
After the lumber is all removed it is
possible that the property may be con
verted into a summer resort. Recent
ly architects and surveyors have ex-
amined the sites and it is found that
a lake several miles long easily can
be made which with the large area
of wooded lard would make a desira-

There are several others who arc
held as witnesses. Their names could
not be learned tonight.
Say Proof is Positive.
Sheriff Corley went before Magis-
trate T. F Hahn, at North Augusta
this morning, and swore out the war
rant. The officers state that they
have the most positive proof against
the men, a number of e-witnesses
having been found Sheriff Corley
said tonight, as did the other officers
with him, that the credit for the ar
rest of the men is due to the efforts
OF Chief of Police Elliott and his force
of men in Augusta, Mr.. Bullock of the
Southern said that Chief Elliott
should have the praise.
FELTON, Gilbert, the negro who was
picked up in Columbia on Sunday and
who alleged that he was roughly
treated while on the train and finally
thrown from the car while it was in
motion and injured, was brought from
Columbia by Deputy Sheriff Miller
this afternoon and is being held in a
room to himself Gilbert says that
he will be able to identify his assail-
ants upon sight and he will be given
an opportunity tomorrow morning of
doing so.
Under Special Guard.
The jail is under special guard to-
night. The men charged with the
crime and the witnesses are being
kept in separate cells.
It is not known whether the accused
will ask for a preliminary. The Of
fcers of the Southern railway will re-
main in Lexington until after tomor-
row, awaiting Developments. Should
preliminary be ordered Chief Elliott
Of the Augusta police force will come
over and appear as witness.
Further than the statement that
they have positive proof of the slayer
Of Williams, the officers will not give
out anything. Should all the men
have to be kept locked up the sheriff
will have a problem on his hands, as
the jail will hardly hold them and it
is likely that some of them will have
to be sent to the penitentiary.
According to the statement Of the
officers Chas. Hagenb eek, head of the
circus, did all in his power to help
find the guilty parties. He even went
so far as to tell the officers to hold
the entire company over if necessary.

NEARLY Two SCORE
KILLED IN COLLISION
Two Traction Trains Crash With
Terrific Impact Near StauntOn,
Illinois.


persons were killed and % injured il
a collision on the Illinois Traction
system two miles north of here, late
this afternoon. One of the injured
died on the way to the hospital. An
other is not expected to live.
Only three of the dead have been
identified as yet, and these are all
prominent officials of the traction
system.
The collision occurred between 10
cal train No. IA, northbound, and an
excursion train No. 73, headed toward
st. Louis and loaded with passengers
on their way to view the parade OF
the Six Yelled Prophets at st. Louis.
The accident, it is said, was due en-
tirely to the disregard Of orders by
the crew of the local, which was in
charge of NJ. A. Leonard, conductor,
and John Herman, of Staunton, mo-
torman.
Orders Disregaried.
Train No. ii had orders to pass
train 73 at Staunton. The Latter train
was running in two sections ard The
orders given to No. IA were explicit
that it should pass both sections OF
the southbound train at StaCnton. The
first section of 73 had passed when
tie crew Of No. IA pulled out Oh the
:,laintrack and started north At
sharp turn in the road at the bottom
OF a decline, two miles north of this
place, the two trains came together in
splintering crash. Train IA and the
second section of 73 were both on the
down grade and moving at speed OF
40 miles an hour when they met. The
collision occurred right at the bottom
of the double incline and at the sharp
est part Of the curve.
Carmen Uninjured.
The crew of No. Il and the crew
of No. 73, which was composed OF
". V. Duncan, conductor, and z. J.
Young, motorman, 10th of Spring
field, ILL.,, leaped for their lives as
soon as they saw the collision was
inevitable and all four escaped with
cut serious injury. They were badly
shaken up, but were able to lend as
sistance to the injured an instant
later. None of the passengers had a
chance to escape as the crash be-
tween the cars followed Immediately
the cries Of warning issued by thu
conductors and motormen as they
jumped from the trains.
The cars came together with ter
rife crash, and both were demolished
and piled in one huge mass of wreck
age, through which the bodies of the
dead and wounded were scattered
Few Escape Unhurt.
It is certain that by far the larger
portion of the passengers on both
cars we're either killed outright or
desperately injured. The two trains
were so closely twisted together that
it was a marvel that anybody escaped
death Or injury
AS quickly as possible word of the
accident was telephoned to SPRING
field and Peoria and a special car
was Immediately rushed from these
points. Other cars were also sent
north from Granite City, ILL.,. These
last took many of the injured and hur-
ried them back to Granite City, where
they were placed in hospitals. AS
fast as the dead were extricated they
were placed in one of the cars sent
from Springfild.
