MI. CLEMENS. Mieha July A.
Two Rapid Railway trolley cars col
lided near Fair Haven yesterday af-
ternodn, resulting In the death OF one
person. the probably fatal injury OF
another, and the injury Of more than
twenty-five others. IL is said that
Motormll A. Brisbois was 80 affected
by the intense heat that he forgot
his orders.
Both Of Motorman Fishnell's legs
were crushed and he died shortly ar.
ter the crash.
The collision occurred at Mills,
about one and half miles north OF
Fair Haven. on the old line OF the
Rapid railway. The local train which
left Detroit at p. m was in two sec
tons, as was also the southbound
local II was to meet on the switch at
Mills. The nrst section of the north
bound train took the switch a few
seconds before the first car Of the
southbound, In charge OF Motorman
Brisbois and Conductor A. Westfield,
came along. As Brisbois approached
the standing northbound car, Motor
man Flannery whistled the signals
showing there was another car be-
hind him. Brisbois replied that he
understood, and that there was also
another section OF his own train to
come.
Brisbois did not stop near Flan-
nery's car, and Flannery supposed
that he was going to the other end or
the long switch to wait. Instead Bris-
hoia kent right on left the switch
and proceeded along the main line at
25 or 80 miles an hour. Before he
had gone far he struck a curve. and
on this ran into the second section OF
the northbound train. in charge OF
Motorman Fishnell. whose orders
gave him clear track to the switch.
1t was stated at the Mt. Clemens
sanitarium this morning that Motor
man Brisbois was very low. Little
hope IL held out for his recovery.

BUDAPEST, Hungary. July At
Macy -Komlos the peasant lads liable
for military service formed q club
whose members were sworn to emaci-
ate their bodies to such an extent
that the army commission was sure
to reject them. The members Went
through 3 regular system. For some
weeks before they had to appear me-
fore the army commission they work
ed in the fields from sunrise to sun
set without food and then met In
an empty house, where they spent
the night in indescribable orgies. The
result of this treatment was that they
grew so thin and degenerate that the
commission rejected them all az be-
Ing UNIT for military service.
The movement began TO spread to
other villages when an enterprising
young army surgeon named Molner,
smelling q rat, made cautious In
quiries, dressed as q peasant, and go
ing to.lNagy-Komlos, pretended he
wantedsito join the club. Then tho
members were called up before the
board for second time, examined
and told that they were all ut TO
serve but must go to the military hos
pital FIRST to get fattened up.
When they are declared Mt they
will be punished for attempted de-
sertion and sent TO the ranks. De-
Isertlon is so rare among the warlike
Magyars that the incident has caus-
