Will Notify in Special Mes
sage, Probably Today, that
He Has Abrogated Treaty
with Russia.
HOUSE SAID TO BE
PLAYING POLITICS
By Friends Of the Adminis-
tration, but the Same
Charge Has Been Brought
Against Pres. Taft.
National Ncws Association)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The solu-
tion Of the international problem with
Russia was reached today. A message
from the president will probably 60 to
the midnight cabinet session last
night But as the senate does not meet
until 2 o'clock and the president is
supposed to take the view, under the
advice of Secretary Knox, that the
house has no power under the consti-
tuition to make or unmake treaties, the
message may be late in getting to the
capitol.
Democrats in the house are charg-
ed by the administration officers with
playing politics to please IA class of
American citizens who have been
aroused to activities by Russia's per-
sistent disregard of the treaty rights
OF American citizens in the matter of
passports.
The president. 1t is understood this
morning. may try to play little poll
tics himself. The notion obtains that
he will try to exercise his acknowl-
edged perogative and give Russia the
required notice that the treaty is to be
terminated year from January I. and
then notify congress that while 1t has
been trying to act he has acted.
The message, instead of asking for
authority or suggestions from congress
will simply advise congress Of action
taken. The Sulzer resolution will be
left hanging by the gills in the senate
committee on foreign relations. Demo
Gratis at the capitol are charging that
they have been tricked. In the senate
last week, led by Culbertson of Texas,
they demanded the passage of the Sui
ger resolution at once. but were finally
induced to permit 1t to be deferred on
q promise that 1t would be reported
out Monday Meanwhile the admins
tration got busy, and, if reports can
be credited, then political thunder has
been taken. The presidents supporters
report that the treaty making power is
lodged with the president and the sen
ate.

ODESSA, Mimi, Dec. 1S.-Thirteen
or more persons were killed and doz-
en- injured about five o'clock this
morning when the fast Silk train"
from the coast, on the Milwaukee road
crashed into the Columbian express
also running east. Two of the dead
have been identified as the wife and
daughter Of j. F. Richards. superin-
tendent of the Trans Missouri division
of the Milwaukee road, stationed at
Mobridge, S. D.
Eleven bodies have been recovered

yet unknown, was killed.
Other identified dead are:
Mrs. r. c. Meyers, New Castle. Ind.
Mrs. D. w. CARRIER Terry. Mont.
DR.. W. A. Elstone Minneapolis.
| The two rear sleeping cars of the
| Columbian train were telescoped.
! Four cars in all were hurled from the
track. All the other care remained
on the rails. Passengers and train
men on the forward cars escaped with
severe shaking up. The fireman on
the Silk train" was severely injured
! Fire broke out on the overturned cars
but the townspeople came to the res
cue and the flames were subdued. The
bodies of the dead were carried to tho
town hall and laid out in rows.
A number of the victims were re
turning from the coast. For some un
known reason the Columbian train
came to stop shortly after passing
the station here. 1t was being backed
out slowly when the second section OF
the silk train" came up at high speed
and crashed into 1t. The shock was
terrific. The occupants of the real
sleepers were caught like rats in q
trap and had no chance to escape
! Several Of them were killed instantly
Others died as they were being re
moved from the wreckage. Several ol
the injured may not survive the day
1t was stated the operator failed te
set the signal for the second section
of the Silk train" and the brakeman
of the Columbian train did not go out

A REMARKABLE
WRECK TODAY
ON {. & 0. RY,
palladium Specially

RAYMOND, Ind. Dec. 18.-North
bound G. & o. passenger train, No. l.,
due at Richmond at noon. was wreck
ed near this place about 1870 o'clock
this morning, the engine jumping the
track and pulling two coaches over
with it, The wreck was most remark
able inasmuch as no one was injured,
although the two overturned coaches,
pulled from the track, were filled with
passengers.
The wreck was due, it is said, to a
broken or spread rail. The engineer
and fireman jumped from their cab
just as the engine left the track.
The passengers in the overturned
coaches were slightly Jared and
scratched but not one was seriously
injured.
The train was running at a fast
rate and this accounts for the coaches
overturning with the engine. Consid.
cradle delay was occasioned by the
accident. Traffice was blocked for
some time.

ASSAULT IS ALLEGED
BY a Young Girl in Trial
Monday.

With a nine year old girl, not
more than four feet tall, accusing
him of assault and battery, Bailey
Fraunberg, a we'll known young man
living in Cambridge City, was placed
on trial in the Wayne circuit court
Monday. The child is Bertha Mar
pies, daughter of Charles Marples,
wall paper merchant.
Accusations of the Indictment,
which was returned by the grand
jury last September, were denied by
the defendant, who maintains that he
never was offensive or made ad-
vances to the child. He retained at
torneys W. A. Bond and L. c. Abb
bott. His witnesses, including his
mother and brother. Roy H. Fraun-
berg, proprietors of the Cambridge
City hotel, and other relatives were
in court.
The state at first charged Fraun-
berg with assault and battery with
intent. Investigation by the grand
jury, however, according to states
attorneys Ladd and r. K. Shiveley,
revealed that while the nature of
the alleged attack was lascivious, it
was doubtful in the grand jurors 5
minds whether the more severe
charge, conviction of which would
have meant penitentiary sentence,
could be sustained. The state as a
result dismissed this affidavit.
On June Is it is alleged that the
Marples girl went from her father s
store, then in the hotel building. in
to the lobby of "he hotel for some
ice water and that she was coaxed
to accompany the defendant to an up
stairs room.
Objection to the Marples girl be-
ing qualified, because of her age, to
testify, was overruled by the court.

Company Willing to Aid in
Payment of New Structure
for Privilege of Running
Cars on 1t.
PRESENT STRUCTURE
IS NOT CONVENIENT
Regarded too Light by the
Company and First Street
Viaduct Compels the Use
of the Small Cars. /.

That the location Of the South end,
bridge over the Whitewater river will
depend to some extent on the action
taken by the Terre Haute. lndianapo-
lis and Eastern Traction company was
a condition which became known Mon
day through statement by a West
Richmond land owner
The company. expecting some day
to be compelled to abandon the Main
street bridge for it's interurban SER
vice. it is understood, is willing to con.
tribute several thousand dollars to-
ward the construction of n bridge
which will be heavy enough for the
cars which it expects to eventually put
into service. 1t is said the sum the
company is willing to contribute is
in the neighborhood of $25.OOO
Though the property owner refused
to permit his name to be used. his au-
thority for the statement regarding
the traction company is most reliable
So far as can be learned no Official ac-
tion has been taken by the company
and the county authorities have not
been addressed upon the subject
The location of the proposed bridge
will be one OF the important matters
before the board of county commits
sioners during the winter.
The statement of the traction on
cial to the property owner was made
some months ago when there was
some agitation to compel the company
| to abandon the Main street bridge for
its interurban service.
Willing to Change.
The traction man stated the com.
pany was willing to get OF Of the
Main street bridge and cross the river
at some point to the south The Main
| street structure has not been alto
gether satisfactory because the com.
pany has been compelled to use low
| and light cars in order to go under
| the c. & o. viaduct at First street.
1t desires to run the Dayton and West
ern type of interurbans. but the idea
| is precluded until either the grade at
First street is lowered. or the railroad
bridge raised, the city objecting to
the first proposition and the railroad
company to the second.
Another reason which may influence
the company to abandon the Main
street bridge II 1t can cross the riv.
er somewhere to the south is that It
considers the property at National
road and West Fifth street, where tho
car barns are located. as too valuable
for this purpose, a sentiment which 10
reflected in the immediate vicinity Of
the barns by the property owners and
residents.
The traction corporation 10 agreea-
BILE to any location between Main and
South H streets. 1t is understood. H
street is really favored because Of tho
fact that the company expects tho
South c. & o. depot to be moro I'm
portant than the North Third street
station eventually. 1t also has it's
tracks on South H street as far west
as the depot. A more southerly route
is objected to- the property owner said.
because it would entail too great a
cost to the traction company in con-
struction of lines. and would increase
the operating expenses.

Eddie Hart Ready To
Play Against Middies

PRINCETON. N. j., Oct. 2O.-Prince-
tons football prospects have brighten
ed perceptibly as a result of the fact
that Capt. Eddie Hart reported for
practice for the first time yesterday.
The conditional exams are over, and
Hart has been declared eligible and
received the faculty's permission to
play.
1t is generally believed that Captain
Hart will start tomorrow's game at
left tackle in place of Phillips. willis
either the latter eI Mclean will hold
down the same position on the righ,
side Of the line. Hart went through
a long signal drill at left tackle on the
second eleven, but. since no scrimmage
took place, 1t Is impossible to Judge
how he will fit In at thu new positioi..
With the exception Of the Dartmouth
game last year he has always played
at fullback, but since his build is no:
adapted to line plunging. the coaches
have shifted him to the line in the
hope that. with Wilson beside him at
left guard, he will be able to make
some impression on the Harvard and
Yale lines.

this may turn the tide in favor Of

man on the squad. but it is hardly prob
able that he will receive consideration,
as this is only his second year as a
member Of the squad. The election will
probably take place before tomorrows

be deferred until tomorrow.
1t has practically been decided that
Barron, former scrub, will start the
game at right halfback tomorrow. The
team will probably line up as follows:
Mcdonald. right end; Voolfolk, right
tackle; Jett, right guard; Wood, center:
Carrier. left guard; Davidson. left tackle;
Ffndlay, left end; Gooch. quarter back
TODD. left halfback; Barron right half
back, and Farrow, fullback Yeager
will probably take Barron's place after
the first half. The game will give the
dopesters an excellent chance to size up
the comparative abilities of Virginia
and Georgetown. as st. Johns plays the
latter in Washington on the 2Sth.

Army Is Confident.

Army Is Confident.
WEST POINT. n. Y, Oct. 20.-The
first Of the big games" comes Satur-
day, and there Is wonderful amount
of confidence at the Military Academy
that the Soldiers will be able to defeat
Yale's gridiron squad as decisively, as
they did in 1910. Army coaches predict
score even larger than the Q to 3 tally
OF last season.
The Army team was driven through 4
hard scrlmmage yesterday, and, though
the condition of the field invited sprains
and twisted joints. the coaches took a
chance and worked the team that in all
probability will play Yale. Luckily there
were no injuries, and Tuthill, the train
er, can now be assured having his string
in shape for the contest tomorrow. Lit.
tleiohn still linps little, but his leg
does not bother him enough to effect his
playing.
Cook was out in uniform, but is still
kept on the side lines, and Hoge went

scrubs interference, and got the runner
several times today.
The varsity was unable to score but
gained much more ground than the
scrubs, who did not get near enough to
try for a goal from the field. During
the game Dean made two fair catches
and tried for a goal from the 40-yard
line. He failed I'm both instances. but,
considering the condition of the ball, his
attempts were excellent.

NIELSEN WILL TRY
NEW COMBINATIONS
Bryant Goes To Fulback For Georgetown And May
Remain If He Makes Good - Expert
ments Now In Order
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The last real practice before the Rich
mond game tomorrow has been conclud-
ed for the Georgetown varsity eleven,
and Coach Nielsen dissatisfied with the
showing of several of the veterans, will
try out a number of new combinations
against the Virginians. Campazzl,
Bryant, and Carrigan will be given
chances to show what they can do In
the backfield for the Blue and Gray.
and very likely Bergen; Rheinschild.
Stohlman, Greer and Helskil will figure
in the lineup.
Magner will start at quarterback. the
FIRST trio of backs being Campaxzi at
left half, Bryant at full, and Costello
at right half. Bryant received his first
trial at fullback yesterday in the scrim-
mage and while showing greenness in
the position. was fast and willing
Bryant Is not given credit enough on
the Hilltop for his real worth. He
knows football and plays it all the time.
He may turn out to be a good fullback
after he has had time to learn the diff
ference between backfield play and line
play.
Dave White. the varsity fullback, Is
q bit under the weather and, on that
account, will not be in the game. Skip"
Nymard is another strong player who

Bergen cavorting in his position. Dunn

for any work as yet
Will Experiment Now.
Coach Nielsen, far from being satis-
fled with the work of the squad, will
experiment from now till the Army
game, November 1. He will strengthen
the attack. equalizing the weights of
the backfield little better. and struggle
hard to bolster up the tackling of the
secondary defense. This proved a straw
in the wind In the Indian game, and
Will mean certain defeat in the big
games to come.
Magner seems to have outdistanced all
other candidates for quarterback. This
St. Louis lad has fire and ginger and
snap in his game, and puts the whole
eleven on its toes the moment he gets
into the lineup. He should prove
very good general for the Blue and
Gray.
With Bryant and Wymard out of the
game tomorrow, Stohlman, Greer, Heis-
Kill. and Rheinschild will probably be
played among the forwards. Greer
did good work against Carlisle--good
enough to warrant further trial. Stohl-
