Fort Wayne, Indiana.-Two people
were killed, two were reported miss
ing and 80 were injured at the west
ern limits of this city in the second
wreck within a week on the PennsyI-
vania railroads Chicago-New York
18-hour train.
Pulled at top speed by double
header locomotives, the heavy train
ran into temporary switch that was
too weak to stand the terrifice strain
The rails of the switch were swept
aside, the engines of the flyer ca
reened crafty and sideswiped the en-
CINE Of freight train on a sidetrack
Engines and passenger coaches, a Sec
ond later, were piled on their sides.
In the panic of passengers which
followed the piling up of the fast
train, men fought women to escape,
and scores were trampled and beaten.
The police department, the fire de-
partment, and every ambulance in the
city were called to the scene of the
accident. At least fifty doctors were
on the scene within half hour of
the time the trains came together and
within a short time thousands of peo-
pie had collected about the wreck.
Two passenger engines, with the
freight engine, were piled up in a
mass of bent and twisted iron. The
baggage car, smoker, buffet and two
sleepers turned over in the ditch.
Most of the injured were seated in
thn din or opd cpoOlror wnop +bo oooi
dent occurred The main track and
the track on which the freight train
was located were torn up for a dis
lance of 200 yards.
The two engines of the f1ier were
torn from the trucks and thrown
down the em6ankment to the park,
while the engine of the freight reared
up in the air over the trucks of the
fiier's engines. The all-steel cars of
the fiier were put to the first actual
wreck test they have ever undergone,
and proved to be all that has been
claimed for them by their designers.
Only the first two cars of the heavy
nine-car train were much smashed.
Passengers on the seven rear cars
escaped with only cuts and bruises,
whereas, it is declared by railroad
men, if the cars had been of the old
fashioned wood construction the dam
age would have been frightful.
1t will take day or more for the
wreck trains to clear away the debris,
as the cars are extremely heavy. The
wrecking crew from Fort Wayne ar
rived at the scene within half hour
Of the time it occurred, while the
wrecking trains from Crestline and
Chicago arrived later in the evening.
Thirty or more passengers, all badly
bruised and cut, are at the Anthony
hotel.
The body of Fred Zimmerman, who
died in Milwaukee, and which was
being brought here for burial, was
recovered from the baggage car. One
of the cars caught fire and was burn
ing by the time the fire department
arrived.

The object of the organization
which calls itself the Non-Smokers of
America is to secure the enforcement
of laws, ordinances regulations and
rules against smoking in public places
in the United States. The man who
endeavored to incorporate it in New
York include several distinguished
educators. However. they were care
less in drawing up their application.
There was no statement from the
would-be incorporates that they had
not made application for incorporation
before. For this reason, Judge Gieger-
ich denied the application. But the
non-smokers cRn begin over If they
choose.

Is there anything that cannot be
done by officers of the United States
army? And done exceptionally well?
There is nothing. For example, take
Colonel Goethals and watch him con-
struct the Panama Canal with ease
and grace after various civilians had
tried their hands at the job without
achieving any glittering success. Then
take the five bachelor lieutenants at
Fort Scr1ven, Georgia, who gave
chafng-dish party, the particulars OF
which we find in the Army and Navy
Journal. 1t was surprise party. 1t
was given in the Bachelors Club. The
service publication which makes
known the achievements of these
heroes justly remarks that "a great
deal of praise is due the bachelors for
having given such an elaborate party
without the assistance Of the ladies
of the post" says the Chicago News.
For example: 1.-THE dining-room and
den, in themselves very handsome,
we're lavishly decorated with carna-
tons and ferns. The beautiful pale
pink flowers were massed in profusion
on the mantel and library table in the
den In the dining-room large vase,
filled with the same gorgeous flowers
adorned the table. AS a souvenir of
the occasion a large bouquet, tied
with pink tulle, was presented to each
of the young ladies present A de-
lightful Welsh rabbit was served with
dainty sandwiches, and mild punch
was served during the evening" Is
it not plain that these bachelors are
artists and poets as well as warriors?
What bachelor outside the service
could tie a bow of pink tulle around
a bouquet? Doubtless. also, any one
of the five, like Cyrano, could compose
a ballade while preparing to transf1x
an enemy on the point of his service
sword. Gentlemen, toast, standing,
to the army men who can concoct
Welsh rabbit which will not kill either
at close or long range.

FILES CHARGES AGAINST TAFT
Or. J. e. Buckley of Chicago Demands
That President Declare War
With Mexico.

Washington.-Dr. ]. E. Buckley OF
Chicago has begun in the district SUI
preme court the most remarkable legal
proceedings on record. He asks that
President Taft be brought into court
and compelled to tell just why he
does not inform congress Of certain
things which are now happening in
Washington. In effect he has begun
his action to compel the United States
to declare war on Mexico, not by way
of Intervention, but by conquest.
Mr.. Buckley claims to represent
many American residents in the City
of Mexico.
DR.. Buckley also alleges that Presi-
dent Taft has information which
would have justified an army or navy
demonstration a week prior to the
adjournment of congress. The petit
toner asks why congress was not In
formed.
