WORTH, 20.
Eye witnesses say the automo-
bile was struck with terrific
force. So fearful was the impact
that the machine was thrown into
Whittier electric station, the
building being partly demolished
by the crash. Mrs. Kaufman,
with nearly every bone in her
body broken, was carried 200
feet on the fender and thrown
between the tracks. All the 9TH
er victims were terribly mangled.
Motorman Linda says he did
not see the car until it was upon
him. In an attempt to avert the
collision, he says he applied his
brakes so hard that the wheels
were flattened from the friction
but the car did not come to a
stop for three pole lengths. Linda
is heart broken over the acci-
dent and refuses to be comfort

A QUIET DAY
(By United Press Leased Wire. J,

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
VERA CRUZ, May 29.-Gen-
eral Porfirio Diaz is enjoying
quiet in this city today, after
passing a quiet Sabbath in his
house overlooking the Gulf. He
had no visitors except the menu
bers of his immediate party.
The city is filled with soldiers,
who guard the residence of the
former president. The people
seem content merely to discuss the
situation, and no demonstrations
of any kind have occurred. There
was, however, meeting on the
plaza, lauding Madero and the
revolution. There was some at
tempt to go to the house where
Diaz is staying, but two orators
held the mob in check until the
excitement had subsidized.

CHAUNcEY OIcOTT

Chauncey Olcott. the we'll known &C
tor. was born in Buffalo, N. Y, July
II, 1850. He was christened Chancel,
lor John Olcott, but this name was
discarded for "Chauncey" when the

sion. Though known to present-day
playgoers as dramatic star, Mr.. Oh.
colt In his early career enjoyed a
wide reputation as a singer After
finishing his eduaction in the schools
OF his native city he made his debut
as professional singer in 1880. For
several years he remained under the
management of the late Richard NJ.
Hooley. Subsequently he appeared
with several we'll known minstrel
companies. His experience as a min.
strel was followed by several CON
secutive seasons as comic opera
stare. When abandoned opera it was
to appears as star in Irish musical
dramas. In this field he became the
recognized successor of the late Viii

UNIMP SSEO.

The home folks called him "Old Man
Bings
Before he started doing things.
He met with many a lucky chance
And helped to earn a great advance
From his old state Of simple life,
Where he ate pastry with his knife
And wore a beard to hide the fact
That he both tie and color lacked.
Both gold and wisdom he has gained
And titles fine on him have rained,
And he has trod in solemn state
The marble halls where dwell the
great.
But while the magic of his word
The centers Of finance has stirred,
And he has been the friend of kings,
Tho home folks call him "Old Man
Bings."

MINE DISASTERS
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM the fulldueIpuld LeuSeT.
The explosion of gas. with it's in
variable sequel of after-damp, that
took the lives Of twenty-one miners
at Dubois, emphasizes the value of
the need of the researches into the
means of preventing such deplorable
casualties which the government,
through the bureau of minese, has I'M
dertaken. While the mine rescue
tournament" to be held in this state
two months hence will illustrate
methods of bringing speedy relief to
the victims of mine disasters, rather
than demonstrating how such disas-
tiers may be obviated, the work of
the bureau is inteded to devise pre-
ventive as we'll as salvatory measures
and when the bureau was established
by an act of Congress, approved May
16, 1910, it was clearly understood
that the resources and energies of the
newly organized arme of the Depart
ment of the interior would Sc devoted
chiefly to the problems of jrecaution-
airy devices safeguarding the lives of
the mine workers.

ton of the disastrous crossing trag-
edy at Neenah which resulted in the
death of thirteen merrymakers has
been ordered by the railroad rate
commission.
Upon receipt of news of the dis
aster, the commission dispatched two
of its engineers, M. H. Hovey and j.
N Bidwell, to Neenah to conduct
an official inquiry. Whatever action
the commission may take will I'M
doubtedly be supplemented by legis-
lation at the hands of the next legis-
lature, it is said here.
Members of the commission were
Mortified over the extent of the trag-
edy and it was characterized as the
worst grade crossing accident in the
history of American railroading and
certainly in Wisconsin annals.
