Easton, Pa.-Eight persons lost
their lives, several are missing and
believed to be dead and half hun
dred others were injured at Mar
tins Creek, n. j., in a wreck of an
excursion train carrying 10 school
teachers and friends from Utica and
Syracuse, n. Y, and vicinity to
Washington for a weeks outing.
The train was one furnished the
teachers by the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad, and
the accident occurred while it was
travelling at high rate of speed over
stretch of track controlled by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The loco
motive jumped the track, the cars
toppled over and were set on fire by
exploding oil, the wrecked coaches
having sideswiped an oil tank along
the track when they left the rails.
The entire train was quickly en-
veloped in flames and completely
consumed by the fire. The eight
missing persons, seven of whom were
women and lived in Utica, are be-
lieved to have been burned to death
in the wreckage. The finding of
charred bones led the railroad wreck
ing crews to the conclusion that they
are dead
The most seriously injured were
removed to the Easton Hospital,
where two of them. Miss Eleanor E.
Rutherford, a Utica teacher, and

MAD RO'S VIEW OF 1T.

FL Paso. TeX.-General Madero,
speaking of the alleged interview
with Vice-President Corral concern
ing the United States, had this to
say:
Il am not sure that Corral made
the statement credited to him, but
do know that when the revolution
was in the formative stage it was
part of the Diaz-Corral strategy to
give the impression that the United
States would intervene in behalf of
he Mexican government. This was
to make us appear unpatriotic
However, the revolution got un-
der way and is winning, yet there has
been no Intervention The govern
ment, therefore, is now trying to
make it appear that the revolt does
not owe its spread to the unpopular
ity of the administration. but to
foreign elements which they allege
have come to the aid of the upris-

REVISE THE COMMANDMENTS
Rev. George A. Douglas Advocates

Washington, d. C.-"Revise the

George A. Douglas, canon of the

New York, in speaking at the twenty
ninth congress of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, on The Need for
Prayerbook Revision to Meet Pres

He said that with the movement
for church unity, the Roman, Greek
and Anglican churches ultimately
must be aDle to come together in
public worship. In revision" he
suggested, Eve must not snap the

Rev. Dr. Henry R. G lmmey, Of
Haddonfield, n. j., opposed revision
pending careful study by an inten-
tional council representing all the
branches of the Anglican church
Rev. Dr. Percy S. Grant, of New
York, urged prompt action in short

Rev. DR.. Cyrus Townsend Brady,
of Kansas City, Mo-, declared that
he would oppose any revision which
would take away anything from the
ancient truth or the beauty of the
prayer book.
Rev. DIR. j. Clarence Jones, OF
Brooklyn, believed that this is q

HOUSE VOTES TO

Encouragement of the Congressional

391 to 433 members and the appor-

ulation shown by the recent federal
census passed the House after vain
efforts of members of both political
parties to amend it in important
particulars.
The proposed size of the House is
identical with that provided for in the
Crumpacker bill, passed by the House
at the last session of Congress, but
not acted upon by the Senate. The
Houston bill, just passed, leaves to
the Legislatures of the different
States the power to rearrange the
Congressional districts in their re-

of States, when the Legislatures had
failed to act, and to limit the House
in the future to membership of 430
or 433, leaving future reapportion-
ments to the Secretary of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
The increase of the size of the
House was agreed to by members of
both parties, but many Republicans
attacked it on the ground that it
would make the House more un-
wieldy. Insurgent Republicans were
particularly vigorous in opposing the
increase, declaring that if it were not
for the demands of those States that
would otherwise lose members there
would be a general sentiment in favor
of keeping the membership at the
present size of 391.

CHINA'S GREAT WALL
Wonder of World Is Literally Wall

For Tweney-One Centuries 1t Has Re-

Pekin.-Best known by repute OF
all the wonders of the world. the great
wall of China has remained for 81
centuries the most amazing construc-
ton of human hands. Ruined and
broken as it is, 1t is clear at first
sight that the amount of human labor
required to build this majestic barrier
Is without parallel on earth. Fifteen
hundred miles long, with additional
loops that add another 1000 miles,
there were originally $4,000 watch
towers upon it.
The wall was built at the end of the
third century before Christ by the
first, and perhaps the greatest, of all
Chinese emperors. CheHwang-te,
prince of Tsin, succeeded as a boy to
he throne of comparatively small
kingdom and at once began to put
INTO a state of order and defence a
territory that long had been allowed
to degenerate into a mere prey to an.
nual northern invaders. After a few
years the young king assumed the
style of emperor end organized the
forces of what for the first time in
history was China. For he at once
gave to the whole of this new empire

/ Los Angeles, Cal.-The suns OF

In the employ of Detective Burns, and
that his confession was full of mac

McManigal has confessed, it is
said, to participation in many dyna-

McManigars purported confession to
having attempted the dynamiting the
home of Charles X. Henry, a wealthy
real estate man and open shop advo-

The result of McManigal's alleged
work.
These points were made by coun-
sci for the defense.
That the Times explosion was an
accident and that no dynamite or
other similar destructive agencies
were employed
That the defendants will receive a
fair trial in Los Angeles and no at
.empt will be made for change of
venue.
That Ortie Mechanical approached
Burns shortly after the Times dis
aster and declared that, supplied with
money, he could deliver evidence
against the men who "dynamited"
he Times.
That the money was supplied by
Burns.
That McManigal induced the
younger Mcnamara to purchase
dynamite clock works and other
agencies of destruction and melted
him against the structural firms.
That when McManigal declared he
had the goods" on Mcnamara Burns
ordered the arrests.
That Burns has pursued and will
pursue the tactics he followed in the
San Francisco graft prosecution,
namely. the obtaining of confessions
from accomplices. the granting or
promising of immunity and the sur

been so contradictory that no reli-
