iured and a Score Missing
on Atlantic Coast Line

CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT

By United Press Leased Special Wire.

Five persons are known to have lost
their lives, eight passengers We're
seriously injured and score of 9TH
ers are missing as the result of a
wreck on the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road on a trestle across the Alapaha
river in Georgia about els this morn
ing.
The cause of the wreck has not been
ascertained, as the wrecking crew hur-
ried to the scene of the catastrophe
has beeu devoting its time exclusively
to searching the ruins of several cars
for bodies Of the missing.
Among those killed outright we're
the fireman of train No. 95, which was
wrecked The conductor is missing
Officials of the road declare they are
mystified by the wreck in view Of the
fact that three-quarters Of an hour
before train No. 95 reached the trestle,
train No SO passed over it in perfect
safety.
TrestIe Sank to River Bed.
Scenes of the greatest horror con-
fronted the rescuers when they reach
ed the scene of the wreck. The trestle,
which stood 70 feet high, had sunk 10
the river bed and was completely torn
from its abutments, OH the banks OF
the stream. A sleeping car was thrown
from the tracks to the river bank, and
many of the berth occupants were
severely injured Several Of them are
reported missing. The passengers in
the other three cars of the traen were
severely shaken up, and frightened
and many hysterical women climbed
about the ruins in search Of their rel
atives and frielfH
An investigS+ioh. will be started inn
mediately to assffAin whether or not
the trestle hadBs&no tampered with by
train robbers. Tkts. belief has gained
credence since itebecame known that
but a short time before No. 95 was
wrecked. No. 90 traversed the trestlt
without harm.

TUBERCULOSIS DAY.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: The
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis has notified
me that, for this year, Sunday, April
30th, has been set aside as ''Tuberculo.
sis Day."
1T will be observed in 200, 900 churches
in the country in manner similar to that
of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910, when
over 10000 sermons were preached on
the prevention of consumption. The Ma
tional Association for the Study and Pre-
veption of tuberculosis hopes to enlist
all of the 33,O0O,O0O church members in
the country in this movement.
''In one respect tuberculosis Day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of 1910.
Instead of requesting the churches to
give to the tuberculosis cause special
Sunday service, the plan is, to ask this
year that meetings, at which the subject
of tuberculosis and it's prevention can be
discussed. be held on Sunday, April Both,
or on any other day near that date, either
in the week preceding or the week fol-
lowing. What is desired is that the SUBJ
ject of tuberculosis be discussed in all of
the 200, 900 churches of the United States
at as nearly the same time as possible.
This does not demand that stated ser
vice be given over to this work, although
that might be desirable, but that any
minister, or other authority whom he
may invite, may present the problem to
his congregation before or after his regu-
lar service, or on any day within the week
preceding or following April 3Otb."
The State board of health will be very
glad to do what it can in supplying clergy
men or other persons with circulars, bull
letins, and other publications as an aid
in preparing papers or talks on Tubercu-
losis. Respectfully yours,
A. G. Young,
Augusta, Me. Secretary.
