Slx Passengers are Killed and
Many Injured.
a FATAL CRASH II a CROSSING


Kalamazoo, Mich. Especial Six
persons are dead and 26 injured, four
of whom, it is thought, will die, as
the result OF a street car on the
Kalamazoo City lines of the Michigan
United Railways Company being run
down by a fast westbound express
train on the Michigan Central Rail-
road. ALI of the dead and injured
were passengers on the street car.
That single passenger escaped
death is remarkable. The train was
running into the city at high rate
of speed, it is said, and just as it
rounded the curve where is located
the East Main street crossing 1t
crashed into the street car. Con-
ductor Vern Van Horn, of the street
car, was standing between the Michi-
gan Central double tracks. He had
signalled his car ahead. Van Horn
claims he did not see the oncoming
train or hear 1t until it was directly
upon them. 1t was then too late to
stop his car. The train hit the front
end of the street car, tearing 1t into
thousands of pieces. Mangled pas
sengers, living and dead, were car
ried on the front of the engine for
nearly block before the train was
brought to a stop. Motorman Alb
bolt, with both legs cut on, was
pulled from under the engine uncon-
scious. The living were lifted from
the front Of the engine, and with
those taken from the ruins of the
street car were hurried to hospitals.
The passengers who we're caught in
the car were burned and shocked
from an electric current that was
continually running through the
metallic parts of the car until the
trolley was removed.

the last session of Congress.
The report will set forth that the
dissection of the army into small
military units necessary to garrison
scores of so-called political posts
throughout the country has denied
both officers and men adequate mill

will be made for the reorganization
of the army; the abandonment of all
unnecessary posts; the increasing Of
the infantry line by 25 regiments
and the field artillery by seven regi-
ments and the concentration OF
troops in large garrisons on the two

Munk Injured Last Year and Had
Never Fully Recovered.

Wheeling, w. Va. Especially -
Charging him with the wilfuk MUIR
der of Rudolph Munk, left halfback
and captain of the West Virginia
University football team, Coroner w.
w. Rogers issued warrant for
Thomas Mccoy, alias Gardner, left
end of the Bethany College team.
The warrant has been placed in the
hands OF Constable w. w. Wickham
and Mccoy will be arrested tomor-
row morning.
The warrant was issued because of
the sworn statement made today to
Coroner Rogers by Homer N. Young,
of Pittsburg, Pa, former Michigan
University player, who was the OFF,
cial referee of the game. His state
ment is as follows:
Rudolph Munk was running down
the field in advance OF the man with
the ball, West Virginia having the
ball about 80 yards from the Bethany
goal. He was not close to the ball.
On this play he was met by q man
said to be Gardner, as his name was
given to me by Townsend, the coach
for the Bethany team. On this par
ticular play this man Gardner ran
towards Munk while both were run
ming down the field. About the time
they got 10 yards beyond the scrim-
mage line Gardner, to the best of my
recollection, struck Munk on the back
Of his head with his (Gardner's) fist.
Munk fell and Gardner practically
fell over him. Gardner got on his
feet, for an instant gazed at Munk
and started to walk Off the field.
For this foul put him out of the
game. He made no reply and no
protest whatever. Munk was uncon-
scious. Evidently to me the blow
which felled Munk was Intentional .
Mccoy is the real name of the play
er who is charged with striking
Munk, but in this game he was play
ing under the name of Gardner. AT
ter he had been ordered from the
several hundred West Virginia root
ers were standing. Cries OF Dirty
player and Tough" came from the
crowd and in reply Mccoy said.
well, he was smuggling me all
through the game"
DR.. o. M. Stats rushed TO the side
Of the player and hurriedly plac-
ing him in an automobile rushed him
to the. City Hospital Half score
of physicians worked over him, but
all to no avail. He died shortly af-
ter o'clock without having regained
consciousness. ii.
Captain Henley. Of Bethany. when
asked concerning the play. said: ut
is the consensus of opinion among
the Bethany and players that Munk
hit Mccoy and Mccoy hit him back.
None OF the Bethany players saw the
play. nor dol think the officials did,
las all were watching the man with
the ball"
