SOCIALIST MEETING
Or. n. A. Gibbs Of BaIlston Spa PrIn.
cipal Speaker

The outdoor rally of the local Soc
ialist organization which was held at
Main and North streets Saturday eve
ming, attracted a crowd of consider
able proportions. The principal speak
er, DR.. H. A. Gibbs of Ballston, Spa.
was presented by John Spargo. The
rally was presided over by DR.. Amer
of Boston, until recently a member
of the faculty of Dartmouth college.
In his address DR.. Gibbs who has
charge of the Ballston sanitorium in
Ballston Spa, spoke on the present
day tendencies and questions and told
of the way in which the Socialists
would solve them. Although forceful,
DR. Gibbs remarks were characterized
by a pleasing absence of bitterness
and violent abuse.
The rally of Saturday evening is
the first of a series that will be held
here. 1t is at present the intention OF
the local Socialists to hold these meet
ings every Saturday evening, several
prominent Socialist speakers having
already been secured
Another feature Of the campaign OF
the local organization is the adoption
of the Milwaukee plan of the distri
button of Socialist literature. This
plan consists in distribution of liter
azure from house to house every week
1t has been in operation for the last
two weeks in this town and is consid
cred an important factor in the Soc
ialistic Campaign of education"

HAYRACK LOAD OF
PEOPLE KILLED
BY TRAIN
Engine Crashed Into Party Of
Merrymakers
THIRTEEN ALREADY DEAD
Three More are Likely to Dle-Horri-
BILE Accident Sunday Morning
at Neenah, Wis.

Neenah, Wis, Sept. 25.-Thirteen
persons are dead. three others are dy-
ing and five are seriously hurt as the
result of fast train on the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad running in
to hayrack on which a party of 81
merry-makers were returning from a
celebration yesterday A big billboard
beside the railway tracks obscured
the view from the locomotive as well
as from the wagon Dust and fog
were contributory causes to the trag
edy. Nine members of the party es-
capped without a scratch. Nobody on
the train suffered except from sew
ere jar. The collision occurred at
$40 a. m, at the Commercial street
crossing. Train No. 12l, northbound,
whirled through the wagon load of
singing and happy guests who were
returning from the Peter Hanson farm
where they had gone to attend the Gel
ebration of wedding anniversary All
but two, who were Chicago men, were
residents of Menasha
Armless, legless and headless bodies
covered the right of way as the train,
nine coaches in length, was brought
to a stop 500 -1eet from the scene OF
the accident. Several of the bodies
were so badly mutilated that identifi-
cation was possible only by fragments
of clothing. Six bodies were discover
ed on the engine pilot and two other
bodies were hurled through a flag
mans shanty with such force as to
overturn the structure. One of these
was Miss Finn, who was projected
through one of the sidewalks of the
house and was breathing when remov-
ed. She died few hours later. An
other of the victims was thrown high
over barn so feet from the tracks.
Among the occupants of the hayrack
who escaped were Mr. and Mrs. JOS
eph Brizinski and their two year old
child They were seated in the front
half of the rack and the mother was
holding the child in her lap. About
half way back in the wagon sat Mary
Schwartzbauer The latter was hurl-
ed about so feet and rendered uncon-
scious. When found by rescuers the
Ndo al
well and unscratched The parents of
the child were only slightly injured.
Peter Hanson, driver and owner of
the horses attached to the Inflated rig
managed to cling to the reins and was
the only person aboard who was not
temporarily stunned by the collision.
He says he did not observe the onrush
ing train until his team had reached
the track. He whipped up the hor-
ses, but managed to get the wagon
only half way across.
The train Is said TO have been near
ly half hour behind schedule and
was running approximately 60 miles
an hour. Practically every person on
the wagon was an employe of the Men
asha woodenware company and all
were invited to the Hanson farm to
attend the wedding anniversary of
one of their fellow employees Mr..
Hanson had conveyed the merry-mak-
ers to his farm in the early evening
and was taking them back home. A
coroner's jury was empaneled, but
adjourned until time was given to the
district attorney and others to inter
view witnesses.

the chief says, was of no assistance.

MRS c. W. LEONARD DEAD
Wife OF the Senior Partner of Holden
Leonard Co.

Mrs. C. W. Leonard. wife of Mr..
Leonard of the Holden, Leonard Co.,
died at her home in Newton, Mass,
Sept a. The following notice appear
ed in the obituary column of the Bos-
ton Transcript:
The death of Mrs Charles w. Leon
ard on September IA, after protract-
ed illness, brings deep sense of loss
to a large circle of friends extending
far beyond the city of Newton, where
she had long been a resident,
She was actively interested in the
local benevolent institutions and caus-
es For many years she was a deyot-
ed and efficient trustee of the Newton
hospital and her concern for its well
fare was notably manifested in liberal
contributions for the support OF the
Eldredge Womens Ward. Along with
her more public benefactions, her
generosity and sympathy constantly
ministered TO private needs, and the
poor and unfortunate ever found in her
a ready and bountiful friend.
She had the faculty of making
others feel that she was truly inter
ested in them, and the impression ere
ated was in accord with the fact. Sin
cerely and without reserve she wept
with those who wept and rejoiced with
those who rejoiced. A gracious and
winsome personality, whose kindness
of heart and nobility of mind were In
vested with that peculiar quality, call
ed charm. She will be greatly miss
ed, and her memory will long be cher
ished.

floor in his search for booty. He
took a suit case, containing ties,
shaving brush. drinking cup and other
travelling equipment and proceeded up
North sheet where he hid 1t in the
bushes at the northeast corner Of
North street and Lincoln boulevard.
Following the last break and the Sc
erection of the suit case, Keefe return
ed to his home on Summer street,
where he was arrested by Police Off
Ger Timothy Dwyer and Special Pol
ice officer James Pitanello. Chief
of Police T. c. Elworth had received
numerous telephone calls concerning
the robberies, and he at once decided
that the style of work correspondent
to that of young Keefe. When Keefe
was questioned concerning the robber-
les, he denied any knowledge OF the
affair. He later admitted his guilt
and said that it was he who entered
the S. c. Dorsey house on Roberts av-
enue during the carnival He said
that he was dismissed from the l.. q
u. A. Steward tin can factory on Park
street last Thursday and that on Fri
day night he broke into the factory.
Considerable credit Is due Chief OF
Police Elworth for the manner in
which he rounded up the young bur
glar. The chief keeps mental mem
orandum of the various offenders in
this vicinity and when the Steward
break occurred he assured the states
attorney that Keefe was the guilty
person Saturday evening when the
telephone calls started coming in, he
decided from the manner in which the
burglar operated that II was Keefe,
| and posted officers to watch the young
mans house He knew that If keefe
were to enter his home before appre
hension he would have chance To
conceal his weapon and mask.
Young Keefe was arrested about
three years ago at SALISBURY by
Railroad Police Officer John Brislin OF
this city. He was convicted of max
ing three attempts to wreck the New
York flyer between SALISBURY and
South Salisbury by placing ties OF
the track. Keefe was arraigned be
fore Judge Il. L. Bates of Bennington
and was sentenced to serve the re
mainder of his minority In the Yer
gennes Industrial school at Vergen
mes. but he was released on parole
about a year later.
The youngster seems to have his
mind saturated with tales of murder
and robbery which he has CLEANED
from five cent novels, to the extern
OF being apparently deranged. AT th'
time of,his arrest for the attempt tC
wreck the New York flyer, he admit
ted that he was a reader OF such liter
AZURE and that 1t had inspired him t.
make the attempt The boy has hat
a questionable record in this city FOL
several years and at one time confess
ed to Officer Brisln that he opened
q switch in the railroad yards which
If 1t had not been discovered would
undoubtedly have resulted in a fatal
lily. He was also suspected OF setting
fires in this city few years ago.
Keefe was taken before Miss Over
Saturday evening, following his cap
ture and she identified him as the per
son who had threatened her with th'
revolver. States Attorney b. l.
