FEARFUL WRECK IN CITY OF

RUNNING FAST.
SIX REPORTED KILLED

Kalamazoo, Mich.-Six persons are
dead and twenty.siX injured. four OF
whom it is thought will die, as the re-
suit Of street car on the Kalamazoo
city lines of the Michigan United Rail
ways Company being run down by o
westbound express train on the Michi
gan Central railroad. All the dead and
injured were passengers on the street
car.
The train was running into the city
at high speed, 1t is said, and as 1t
rounded curve 1t crashed into the
street car.
Conductor Vern Van Horn of the car
car was standing between the Michi.
gan Central double tracks. He had
signaled his car ahead. Van Horn
claims he did not see the train or
hear 1t until 1t was directly upon him.
1t was then too late to stop his car.
The train hit the front end of the
car, tearing it to pieces.
Mangled passengers. living and dead,
were carried on the front of the en-
gIne nearly block before the train
could be stopped.
Motorman Abbott, with both legs
cut off, was pulled from beneath the
engine, unconscious.
The living were lifted from the
front of the engine, and, with those
taken from the runins of the street
car. were hurried to hospitals.
The passengers who were caught in
the car were burned and shocked from
an electric current running through
the metallic parts OF the car until the
trolley was removed.
Miss Elvira Craig was frightfully
burned, as well as otherwise injured.
Her back was a mass of charred
flesh. For nearly minute she lay in
the street with her clothes ablazc be-
fore being discovered. Shortly after
her removal TO the hospital she died.
Miss Cora Frentheway OF Kalamazoo
lay all night beside the Michigan Cen.
trail tracks. unconscious from terrible
injuries. She was removed to her
home and may die.
The two railway companies refused
to give out a statement concerning
the wreck, but have begun an investl.

WASHING GTON.

Provided the present briskness OF
export traffic is maintained, the value
for the year of exported manufactures
for the first time in the history of the
United States will exceed $4,000 900,
according to a bulletin issued by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
President Taft personally present
ed to Lieut. Gordon Johnston of the
Seventh cavalry the medal of honor
awarded to that young officer by Con,
gress. Lieut.. Johnston was awarded
the medal for gallantry in action
against the Philippine Moros at Bud
dajo In 1906.
If the prosperity of the nation can
be reflected in its savings banks ne.
posits, the year ended July 3Oth must
have been banner one for the Amerl-
can people. The high cost of living
does not appear to have diminished
savings, according to figures compiled
In the Treasury Department. Deposits
in the 1853 savings banks during the
year increased to more than four Bit.
lion dollars. The average depositor's
account was s445.22. just s24.77 above
the average of the year before.
With both governments in perfect
accord in regard to the Texas lynch
ing and the anti-American riots in
Mexico there is no sign of war-cloul
between the United States and Mexi.
co. Mexico promises to punish rioters
who have desecrated the American
flag and damaged property of Ameri-
cans in Mexico. Texas is investigat.
ing the lynching of a Mexican and,
with the federal government, will sat
isfy Mexican demands. 1t is reported
that the American consulate at Cludad
Porfirio Diaz, Mexico, was wrecked by
a mob, but no one was injured. Ameri.
can citizens in Mexico have been eau.
toned by United States Ambassador
Wilson to refrain from acts OF vio-
lence, as he is convinced that the
Mexican government is exercising its
best efforts to suppress the anti.
American riots.
President Taft is on his 4-day voy-
age to the Isthmus of Panama to get
in personal touch with conditions
along the big canal. He visited the
isthmus just before his Inauguration
in 1909, but since then various execu-
tive and engineering problems have
arisen and Congress soon must frame
legislation as to rates of toll, form OF
government, the regulation of the sale
of coal, disposition of the Panama
railroad and many other things. The
president expects to make various rec.
concentrations regarding the canal at
the coming short session of Congress.
Mr.. Taft sailed on the armored cruiser
Tennessee, with the cruiser Montana
as convoy. While officially known as
cruisers, these vessels have the gen.
eral proportions OF the battleshlps OF
a few years ago. although they could
not stand up very long against the
modern Dreadnoughts.
