ELEVEN ARE KILLED
IN WRECK IN GERMANY
Locomotive and Four Cars
Thrown From Tracks Near
Mu|Iheim, Baden.

MUlLHELM. Baden, Germany. July II
"A through express from Basel. Switzer-
land. for Berlin. crowded with tourists
was wrecked here today. Eleven persons
are known to have been killed, while
scores Of others were injured, many OF
them seriously.
Great confusion followed the accident
and 1t was only with the greatest difh-
Guilty that the extent Of the disaster could
be determined. Up to this evening the
dead had not been identified and 1t was
impossible to learn whether there were
Americans among the victims.
The accident occurred as the train COM
ing from the south, was entering the
station. The locomotive was derailed and
was followed from the tracks by four
cars. f1rst-class, a second-class and two
third-class coaches. The cars telescoped
one another.
At the same time the remaining cars
were thrown to the opposite side Of the
track and piled up against train stand
ing on the southbound rails. Not a pas
senger in the first three coaches Of the
train escaped injury. Those in the other
cars suffered less.
Soldiers in Rescue Work.
Following the accident the garrison and
the fire department turned out and CO.
operated with the railway officials and
police in extricating the dead and
wounded.
1t is possible that more bodies will be
found in the wreckage. The people Of the
little resort appear to have been stunned
by the magnitude of the disaster. which
has been equaled in recent years only by
the accident at Muelheim-Am-Rhine on
March 30. 1910, when a steamer train col
lided with military train and twenty
two persons were killed.

MR.. GALL|NCER EXPECTED
TO RETURN TO SENATE
Remark on Leaving to Attend
Sons Funeral Not Sc
riousIy Construed.

Il won't be back this session and per-
haps never" Senator Gallinger is quoted
as saying to some friends here as he was
leaving to attend the funeral Of his son.
DR.. Ralph Gallinger Of Concord, N. H.,
who was killed in an automobile accident
few days ago.
The remark was taken by his friends as
showing the depth Of his grief. rather
than definite announcement that he was
seriously considering. because Of the sor-
row that weighed down his heart, the
giving up of his legislative duties. His
friends here say that the veteran member
Of the upper house has been afflicted
similarly before, in the sudden deaths of
two other children and Of his wife, and
that he found relief in his work. They
believe, therefore, that after spending the
summer at his country home in New
Hampshire he will be anxious to return
to Washington to busy himself with SEN
atOral duties.
A remark similar to that made here is
thought to have been the basis Of a dis
patch from Concord to a New York
newspaper that Senator Galinger may
not return to Washington. His friends
here are not inclined to think that he
has decided on his future course, or will
until after the grief at the death of his
favorite son becomes less acute
The District Craftsmanship.
Should Senator Gallinger decide to re-
tire, however, it would mean a new guild
ing hand for District legislation in the
Senate. Senator Dillingham; is the rank
ing member of the Senate District COM
mittee, but he is the chairman Of the
powerful committee on privileges and
elections, and probably would not desire
to relinqush that place for the District
Craftsmanship. The next member is Sena-
tor Curtis Of Kansas. and it is not un-
likely that the Craftsmanship would go to
him.
Senator Curtis has been known to be a
friend of the District. AS q member Of
the subcommittee on District appropria-
tions of the Senate committee on appro-
priations, he has shown his friendship
and his desire to see the National Capital
grow to be one Of the most beautiful
cities of the world.
Many residents Of the District have ex-
pressed the hope that Senator Gallinger,
whom they have come to know well. will
not relinquish his duties as chairman of
the SeDzte District committee, and do not
expe/ him to. But should he decide on
th1[ course they have expressed much
L>atisfaction that his mantle would fall
on the shoulders OF Senator Curtis.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 17.-Dr.
Samuel q. Dixon, state commissioner OF
health, discussing the attack upon DR..
Harvey W. Wiley. chief Of the United
States bureau Of chemistry Of the Agri-
cultural Department, said that II, as he

ST. PETERSBURG, July 1.-THE for
that Baron Rosen would not return to
his post as Russian ambassador at Wash
ington. George Bakhmetieff is the nomi
nee now IN view for the American en-
diplomatic changes, will await tho return
in the fall OF Foreign Minister Savanof.
who Is now In the vosges region in
search OF health.
Bakmetieff was formerly ambassador
to Japan and still earlier minister at
The Hague and Russian diplomatic ,egent
In Bulgaria.
Baron Rosen probably will be given
seat in the council of the empire.
State Department Notified.
Although without official advioes on
the subject, the State Department has
been informally advised of 0e approach
ing change in the Russian Embassy here.
Fully intending to return 30 h2s post In
Washington when he left the city Cor q
vacation in Russia, Baron Roeen found
himself drafted into the servt,e OF the
foreign office soon after he reached st.
Petersburg, as q result Of the breakdown
In health Of M. Savanoff, the minister Of
foreign affairs. For nearly six months
now he has been at the head Of that de-
partment, as well as a member Of tho
imperial council
The nature of the aifment from which
NJ. Savanoff Is suffering does not encour-
age hope that he will be able to resume
hisduties in the foreign Office, although
as long as he lives any permanent ap
pointment of successor is improbable.
which explains the reluctance Of the gov
ernment to give any official notice OF it's
intention to fill the vacancy in the Wash
ington embassy.
Formerly Stationed Here.
George Bakhmetieff, who formerly was
Russian ambassador to Toxic, is well
known in Washington, where many years
ago he was one Of the secretaries Of the
Russian legation He married a
daughter of the late Gen. Edward F.
Beale, and is a brother-in-law of Mrs.
John R Mclean. Since leaving Wash
ington he has made brilliant record in
the field of diplomacy, marked by study
and frequent promotions.
Baron Rosen came to Washington July
13, 1905, to succeed Count Cassini, dur
ing the closing days of the war between
Russia and Japan. and represented his
government as member OF the Ports
mouth peace commission.

OSSLNING, N. Y, July 17.-Guiseppe
Serimarco. who killed two men during
his twenty-seven years Of life, paid the

state prison.
Serimarco murdered Antony Sido at
Mamaroneck year ago. after a quar-
rel in a dance hall. Five years ago at
Peekskill he killed a man. but escaped
punishment on q plea of Sef-defense.

Whose name was today, at his own re-
quest, stricken from the roll of the
senate.
Georgia will be shy one United States
senator from now on if Senator-elect
Hoke Smith does not relinquish the
gubernatorial chair and come to Wash
ington. Former Senator Terrell today
caused his name to be stricken from the
rolls of the Senate, and there is no ques-
tion now of vacancy.
1t is Governor-Senator Smiths next
move. 1t is up to him to choose between
leaving the democratic party in the
Senate short one vote, in a time Of what
Mr.. Terrell said was one of great party
gravity, or carrying out the reforms he
had planned TO execute as governor.
Resignation Before Senate.
AS soon as the Senate convened this
morning Vice President Sherman laid
before that body the copy of the letter
of resignation sent by Senator Terrell to
Gov. Smith, and the clerk proceeded in
dustriously to enroll it on the journal
Alter a quorum had been obtained. upon
suggestion of Senator Bacon OF Georgia.
the Vice President caused the letter to
be read in full.
IN 1t the writer pointed out to Gov.
Smith in most explicit terms his under
standing of the constitution and the law
governing such cases. from which he de-
duced the conclusion that his term as
senator expired when the legislature
elected his successor. But to clinch the
matter he announced his resignation. and
then to drive it through and fatten the
piver ha OF her cja he
action was irrevocable
Vice President Sherman followed this
with laying before the Senate a tele-
gram from Mr.. Terrell informing him of
bis action and preferring the additional
request that the presiding officer direct
the secretary Of the Senate to strike Mr.
Terrelfs name from the rolls.
Name Stricken From Rolls.
With the reading of this message, sena-
tors looked at each other as If to say,

dent Sherman said that. of course, he

The democratic managers looked rather
concerned over this summary action of
Mr.. Terrelfs. but recognizing that he
was acting within his rights and ac-
cording to his rights, they had nothing
to say. They are very anxious about
that vote. however. and the wires to At
