In regard to the wooden cars in
 the wrecked train, Claim Agent
 Baldwin of the railroad company
 said this afternoon: "The cars
 were in as good condition as any
 wooden cars in use on any. railroad
 in the country. But there is no
 question in my mind that if steel cars had been in use that the
 deaths and injuries would have
 been fewer"
 Spectators who gathered about the scene of the wreck late yesterday and witnessed the progress of clearing away the debris, witnessed a spectacle long to be remembered when they were given an opportunity to see the real condition of the coach in which most of the fatalities and injuries occurred.
 Peck after peck of what appeared to be sawdust rolled out from the ends of the sections as they were lifted from the debris. But closer in- spection showed the supposed saw dust to be fragments of wood. The wood work of the old day coach was worm eaten, and its frailty became more and more apparent as the work progressed.

 So he seized the wheel and rode off In C1ark's weak condition he could make little speed. The owner of it's wheel, missing it later, notified the police.

 ARREST BODY
College Man Has a Run-in at Wreck with Patrolman
 HOlbrOOk

"No thick Irish cop can arrest me- declared c. A. Body, one of the spec tators at the wreck of the Federal Express. when ordered by Patrolman Holbrook to go outside the ropes which had been set to keep the space clear for the wreckers.
 Patrolman Holbrook kept his tenn. per and repeated his order, which Body refused to obey.
 Why. it would be all right if gave you a glass of beer" continued the recalcitrant 2 Body; that's what you Irish cops want" !, At this. Patrolman Holbrook-who isn't Irish. by the way-took Body by the collar and ran him outside the ropes with considerable speed. "Now keep your mouth shut and stay there", warned Holbrook.
 But Body wouldn't be sQuelched and he kept shouting taunts at the officer and defying Holbrook to arrest him.
 You can't arrest me-" he shouted, you're not big enough"
 "Very well,'' retorted HoIbrook and promptly ran him in.
 You'll be sorry when you find out who I am," warned Body, when rid ing in on the patrol wagon.
 In the city court this morning Body identified himself as an electrical en- gineer and a college graduate. He admitted using the language describe ed but said that he was hot and excited and that the officer had been unneces- sarily rough and abrupt in ordering him outside the ropes.
 Do you consider it a disgrace to be an Irishman?" asked Prosecutor Delaney, with reference to Body's re- marks about thick Irish cops
 Why no.' explained Body. ''my father is an Irishman.'
 'Is this the kind of behavior they teach you at colleges" questioned the proeecutor, ito insult and defy the representatives of the law, especially at such a time and place as a rail- road wreck?'
 Body replied that perhaps the heat had been too much for the officer, and his temper was affected"
 And I guess the heat was too much for you retorted the prosecutor.
 Fifteen dollars and e9stsP was the judges contribution to the colloQuy, and Body paid.

Fashions and Fads by M. E. CiIIey

Skirts at present are little pleated.
though if there is any pleating on the
skirt it is better to have it stitched all
the way to the bottom.
Evening frocks of tulle or delicate
lace-the flounces touched with
crystal-are worn under extremely
short chiffon tunics, edged with
fringe.
The hat of parasol dimension shows
masses of gorgeous plumes placed
over the crown. A fringe of fur Is
used to edge the shape.
For afternoon wear there is an as
tonishing favoritism accorded TO
charmeuse. It is the silk used for
suits, dresses of all types and on all
colors.
Since lace and ribbon muffs we're so
strongly featured abroad during the
recent season, it is not surprising %
see a few crepe de chine muffs edged
with fur to match the scarf.
