terms of intimate friendship. 1t was

the fatal accident occurred.
According to the first police report
of the accident Mrs. Green was in the

known as Wisconsin avenue runs
north from Georgetown through the

favorite route for automobiles.
Crossing the Georgetown bridge near
Fort Meyer the auto turned north on
Wisconsin avenue and was about to
turn easterly along the northerly
boundary of the city when at Garfield
avenue the collision occurred.

pants were thrown thorugh the air.
Mrs. Slocum was placed aboard troll
ley car to be hurried to a hospital but
was transferred to an automobile and
hurried with all speed to the George
University hospital. When the hos
pital was reached the surgeon pre-
nounced Mrs Slocum dead.

ton of the generals wounds and it
was found he was suffering from con-
tusions of the chest, a slight scalp
wound and one broken rib. After his
wounds were dressed the general was
removed in an automobile to his resi-
dence At last reports he was reason
ably comfortable.
Chauffeur Ward was unhurt. He
was arrested, together with the motor
nan and conductor of the trolley car.

Squatters' Rights Increased.
"Squatters" upon unsurveyed lands
within the national forests, who have
occupied their tracts continuously
since before the creation of the forests
and who have complied with the home
stead law, have had their rights in
creased by an order which has just
been issued by the secretary of agri-
culture.
Such settlers can now acquire title,
prior to survey to 100 acres, full
homestead entry, wherever possible.
The new order relates to the act OF
June II, 1906, which permits the sec
rotary to list for settlement land with
in the national forests which he finds
chiefly valuable for agriculture.
The object of the order is to provide
for the listing of the full amount of
land which the occupant would receive
if he exercised his option Of awaiting
the government survey, irrespective OF
whether or not the entire area is cul
tivable provided the claim is bona fide
and the land is not more valuable for
it's timber than for agriculture.
In case where less than 100 acres
have been listed 20 person when set
tied on the land prior to creation OF
forest an additional area sufficient
to complete the homestead entry will
be allowed upon application.

st. Peter, March 24.-Seven persons
were injured, several of them serious
ly, when the weStbound Northwestern
train, No. %, ran into an open switch
in the kasota yards and collided with
string of loaded freight cars.

tering the Kasota yards the passenger
was running about 80 miles an hour
and cloud of dust carried along by
the high wind partially obscured the
track, concealing the open switch.
Engineer John Moore, of the passen.
ger train did not see the danger until
he was train length away, and it then
was too late to prevent the collision.
He remained at his post and escaped
with slight injury to one of his feet
