game result, Coach ionaker can use
the time 10 good advantage in prcpar

the season with Randolph Macon on
the SATURDAY Following. The Spiders

Blue Will hope that rcparatlon for the
disastrous season will be made by an
overwhelming victory over the Ash

condition. and il th backheld men
have learned to carry the ball there is

VIII Virginia be- able to defeat
Georgetown in the annual cattle
which Is scheduled for Saturday :?
That's question which is worrying
the mind of Il lot of people these
days. Georgetown, from all data OBJ
tainable. has about the strongest
team In the South. On the other hand.
Virginia has an eleven with an en-
viable record. The tic game which
Georgetown played with the Army and
the defeat which the Army admins
tered TO Yale, are both fresh in the
stacked up against any eleven in the
Army class, still those teams which
have been mot have been signally de-
feHted. Naturally. these victories lend
hope TO Virginia supporters. Espe-
cially pleasing was the game with
Johns Hopkins last Saturday, when
the Marylandors were licked to the
tune of "a to o. Al any rate. defeat
is by no means conceded by the
Orange and Blue. Instead, there is
strong feeling ut Charlottesville that
tho unexpected is going TO happen and
victory come once again to Virginia.
Probably the greatest football mys-
terry of the South is the eleven at
Chapel Hill. When Branch Bocock as
sumed charge of the coaching depart
mcnt at Carolina, those who knew Bo-
cock, and who also knew the methods
obtaining previous to his advent, felt
that radical changes would be the

Ten Killed and Score Injured
in Wreck.
COAST TRAIN In COLLISION

collision here when the second section
of the Columbian Flyer, from the Pa
cific coast, bound for St. Paul on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road.
crashed into the rear end of the first
section of that train.
The engine of the second section,
which was hauling a special conslgn-
ment of silk, tore its way almost to
the middle of the sleeper on the rear
of the first section. The sleeper,
hurled forward by the impact, was
stripped from the front end by the
diner, the next coach ahead, almost to
the point where the engine had
stopped its destructive plowing. The
rear of the diner and the pilot OF the
engine thus almost touched. Those
who escaped death were in this small,
clear space.
The passengers and crew members
in the sleeper, twenty-seven In all,
were hurled to the rear by the COLI
sion: then tossed back again or to
one side as the engine crushed its
way into the coach.
No other Car Damaged.
The sleeper did not leave the right
OF way, neither was either car twisted.
No other cars suffered more than
slight damage. Their steel construc-
tion had been put to a supreme test
and had stood it well, but it was demon
strated that even steel cars may be
telescoped The dead are:

The impact when the trains came
together was SO terrific that building

HARMONY is THE KEYNOTE
Governors Make No Complaint Against
Taft's Conservation Policy

St Paul, Dec. 19.-Harmony with a
big H-so pronounced, in fact, that it
was almost oppressive-featured the
meeting of the Western governors in
the senate chamber of the state
capitol.
The dangerous subject of conserva-
ton, which it had been predicted
would cause an explosion, was handled
with such diplomacy that there was
never at any time likelihood of trouble.
So skillfully was it handled as to
make it plain the matter had been the
subject of a previous conference, in
which the necessity of caution had
been impressed upon all.
The keynote of all the remarks by
speakers was that the Western states
have true friends in President Taft
and Secretary Fisher, and that, be.
lieying the administration is doing its
best to solve the problems of conserva.

Will DISCUSS EX-
TENSION OF STRIKE
Heads Of -Four Railroad Unions
Meet at ST. Louis.

ST. Louis, Dec. 19.-Leaders of four
unions of railroad workers met here
to discuss the advisability of calling a
strike on Western railroads in SYM
pathy with the strike of the Illinois
Central and Hartman roads.
J. w. Kline, president of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Blacksmiths
and Helpers, is present.
Shopmen and allied workers on ev-
cry railroad in the jurisdiction or the
General Managers association of
Western and Southern railroads will
be called out if the present plans of
Kline are realized. He is quoted as
saying the men are going to win the
strike on the Hartman and Illinois
Central roads If he and his co-leaders
have to call out all members of their
unions.
Kline charges that other roads have
been lending engines and cars to the
lines now affected by a strike.

EVENT CAUSES NO SURPRISE

Mrs. Mckim Expected.

New York, Dec. 19.-News of the
quiet marriage at Reigate, Surrey,
Eng, of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt to
Mrs Smith Hollins McKim, formerly
Miss Margaret Emerson of Baltimore,
created little more than passing at
tention here.
The marriage had been reported so
often that when 1t was finally sol
emnized Sunday it took no one by sur
prize.
Alfred Vanderbilt came into much
prominence when the beautiful Mrs
Mary Agnes O'Brien Ruiz, said to
have been respondent because the
young multimillionaire ceased to care
for her, killed herself In London on
May 16, 1909.

the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission.
Washington, Dec. 19.-Joseph B. Cot
ton, prominent lawyer of Duluth, APP
peared before the steel committee and
characterized as false the testimony
given before the committee some
weeks ago by Charles H. Martz, the
man who built the Duluth, Missabe
and Northern railroad and was for
some years its chief engineer.
Mr.. Martz charged that Mr.. Cotton,
as counsel for the road and for the
Rockefeller interests which acquired 1t
from the Merritt brothers of Duluth,
urged him to falsify report as to
the cost of the road, so that this re-
port could be laid before the Minneso-
ia railroad and warehouse commission,
which at the time, Martz said, was in
quiring into the reasonableness of ore
rates on the Duluth, Missabe and
Northern and the Iron Range railroad.
Mr. Martz alleged, under oath before
the committee, that Cotton wanted him
to figure the cost of the Duluth road
at not less than $5,O00,000, when, as
matter OF fact, it hardly cost half that
sum to construct.
No Such Report Made, He Says.
Mr.. Cotton came to town armed
with official copies of all sorts of pa.
pers and records bearing on Martz'
charge and tending to disprove 1t. He
started out by declaring without equiv
ocation that Martz never made any
such report as that he spoke Of in his
testimony, that he was never asked
to make such report, and that no
mention of any such report could be
found in the proceedings before the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission, which, on complaint by
| private parties and not of its own in
| itiative, as Martz alleged, had inquired
| into the ore rates on the two rail
roads In question. Moreover, Mr.. Cot
| ton called attention to the fact, as
| bearing upon the issue raised by Martz,
that the commission had dismissed the
complaint, alleging that the ore rates
| on the two roads were not unreason-

RUSSIAN TREATY
TO Be ABR0CATED
President Takes Matter Out
of Hands of Congress.
NOTIFICATION TO RUSSIA

VIII Expire on Dec. 81, te12-Ac-
ton Follows Conference With Mem
bers of Senate Committee on For
elgn Relations.
Washington, Dec. 10. - President
Taft has formally notified Russia that
the treaty of 1882, under which Rus
sia excluded Jewish-American citizens,
will be abrogated on Dec. 81, 1912.
In this manner he took the matter
out of the hands of congress and fore
stalled action by the senate on the
Sulzer resolution, to which Russia
filed objection Saturday, preeipitating
one of the most exciting situations
known in official circles in years.
The action of the president was an
nounced following a conference in the
White House library between Presi-
dent Taft and Senators Rayner, Bur
ton and McCumber, members OF the
senate committee on foreign relations.
president had not decided whether he
would send the senate note to be
read in open session or confidential
communication explaining his action.
Rayner argued in favor of an open
discussion i'm the senate, but the pres
ident was not willing to adopt that
policy.
The question of what the result OF
ignoring the house will be was a
troublesome problem.
The president was convinced that
he had full authority to act, but
Chairman Sulzer of the house com
mittee on foreign affairs was not
ready to admit it.
Committee Discusses Action.
The senate foreign relations com.
mSttee discussed the abrogation of the
treaty at length.
Two propositions were laid before
the committee.
The first Of these was that the presi
dent should officially proclaim the
abrogation with ratification of his ac
tion by the senate.
The second was that the abrogatior
should be ordered in joint resolu
tion as proposed by the house. There
| was no thought, however, of adopting
the language of the house document
| Most members of the committee in
| clined to the belief that the presiden
should act with the senate alone ant
without regard to the house.
| The committee also discussed a
length the question as to whether o.
not the abrogation of the treaty shoult
be considered in open session OF thu
senate, as 1t was In the house, O
whether the discussion should be be
hind closed doors in executive session
It was finally decided to report to tn
senate the house resolution in modi
fed form. This means that the hous
will be included in the action of tn
abrogation.
The resolution of abrogation to b
adopted by the senate will base tn
action of this country on the groun
that differences have arisen in tn
construction of the treaty and that 10
this reason 1t seems desirable
should be terminated
