Ira Gilbert and Team Struck by
Train.

The following clipping from a
Centralia. Kan, paper was handed
us the latter part of last week and
tells of a shocking accident to a
former resident of this county,
known to a number of present res
idents.
TUESDAY afternoon Ira Gilbert,
a young farmer from southeast of
town, was struck at the Fourth
street railroad crossing by a west
bound work train and thrown SO
feet by actual measurement. His
face was badly cut and bruised and
his nose between his eyes was crush
ed, and right arm was broken in
three places. He struck on the
brick platform about half way be-
tween the crossing and the depot
Men who were near ran to him and
carried him into the depot and Drs
Brown, Bouse and Townsend were
soon there and had him carried to
the hotel where he is still being
cared for. Though at first it was
thought that he could not live, he
rallied by morning and as we 60 to
press he is getting along fine and
the doctor says he will recover.
Mr.. Gilbert had come to town for
load of coal and had hitched his
team on the south side of the track
in the shelter Of the lumber shed.
He had just unhitched the team and
| was driving across the tracks to the
lumber office to weigh the wagon.
He had his head wrapped up and
did not hear the coming train until
it was upon him. He gave the
horses one lick and they were al
most across, only one horse being
hit by the engine, but the front end
of the wagon was right in the mid
die of the track and was hurled
through the air with terrific force.
His horses were thrown into the
ditch on the north side of the track.
Only one of them was hurt. The
wagon was reduced to kindling.
Quite number were eye witnesses
to the affair and tried to avert the
accident.
Several men were on the depot
platform at the time of the accident
and the flying pieces of wagon came
near hitting them. The train was
running at high speed. The bell
was ringing and the engineer blew
his whistle for the crossing and q
danger but did not realize until too
late they would hit the man and
wagon. The train crew was very
much distressed over the accident.
The train consisted of four cars of
old ties that they were taking to
the railroad ballast plant at Frank
fort"

The public demands an open inquiry in which everything will be done under the light of day and nothing in the dark
 An inquiry is demanded which will look searchingly for the defect in "the system" of railroading, which most practical men believe lies behind the recent catastrophe.
 These catastrophes do not stand alone. During the last year or two there have been series of derail- ments in the neighborhood of signal towers. Each of these affairs was potentially a catastrophe.
 What is the defect in the system :? Everybody knows that railroading is not done in accordance with the paper rules, but that those rules are modi- fled by the customs and practices of the men who operate under them. The public wants all the light that can be had as to how this railroad was act ually operating to cause and occasion a wreck in which a dozen lives were lost and many persons were maimed

DENOUNCEs CAMORRA
Carabineer Calls It Greatest of Crjm-
 inal Organizations

Viterbo, July 12-Capt. Fabroni of the Carabineers of Naples, who has been Investigating the Camorra for years past, took the witness stand yesterday and denounced the organi- zation as the greatest of all criminal associations. He proved an exception al witness, facing the prisoners in the cage without tremor and giving tes- timony which embraced the doings of the Camorn almost from the begin ming of. it's history
 The chief object of the organiza- tion, he declared, is blackmail and us- ury. A typical example was to be found in the Camorrist Danna. osten- sibly cobbler, who collected $780, 000 Special members of the associa- tion, he said, introduce youths to women, who take them to gambling places where they lose their money and run into debt. Then the usurer completes the work. Erricone, the al- legged leader of the Camorrist contin- ued the witness, was on trial on such a charge.
 "But he was acquitted" shouted Lawyer Bovio, for the defence
 Every one knows what acouittals mean in cases in which the Camorra is concerned" retorted Fabroni. Be sides, the lawyer defending Erricone was the brother of the president of the court, who acquitted him."
 This was the signal for a great tumult. Erricone, within the cage, leaped to his feet and dashed at the bars shriekfng wildly.

Ellis Island

Immigration Station at New York Sharply Criticised at
 Washington Hearing

Washington, July 12--Criticism both of the phyhical treatment of inmi- grants at Ellis island and of the off, cials there, has been made before the House Rules committee by witnesses favoring the Sulzer resolution for an investigation at the New York sta >tion.
 Rev. Sidney H. Bass, a Methodist minister, who came from England, declared that the common room at the immigrant station reminded him of the black hole of Calcutta Aaron w. Levy, representing the Federation of Jewish organizations in New York, ex- pressed the opinion that the Ellis Is- land officials were constructing the present statute in direct violation of the spirit and letter of the law" He asserted that there was studied program of exclusion" and that the chief reason of deportation in many cases he had found, was because "the person was destined to congested district''

 Rev. MT. Bass, who came to this country to take charge of Methodist church at Harrison Valley, Pa, de- clared that the night he spent at Ellis Island twas the most terrible he had ever endured" During part of the forty hours he was detained, he said, he was packed in a room with six hundred other people, "the 1lthiest people of all nations and in the midst of the foulest atmosphere I have mo- ticed anywhere

THE LAND AND THE BOOK"

When pr. William M. Thomson, af- ter twenty-five years of missionary service in Syria and Palestine. wrote his popular account of the Biblical country and people called "The Land and the Book he possessed all the rare and lasting value. He was deeply in earnest, he was inspired with real enthusiasm for theme which obviously held for him an end less fascination, and his knowledge and opportunities for observation were exceptional: It is, then; no no Book has continued to appeal to readers of all classes.
 Coincident with the three-hundredth Anniversary of the authorized edition of the English Bible a new edition Of "The Land and the Book" has just been issued by the Harpers. replacing two rather bulky volumes with one printed upon somewhat thinner pa. per- All the original illustrations, of which they are hundreds, have been retained. Many of these are by pr. Thomson's son, William H. Thomson.
 Although the. volume was primarily designed to illustrate the ,Bibie.to give the reader a livelier impression of the Biblical scenes-its appeal is by no means exclusively religious. pr. Thomson's sense of proportion and his literary instinct were as admirable as his piety. The point for the lay read .er is that he was deeply convinced of the importance of exact opserva- light in it. Consequently. he saw as few travellers or even residents see He deliberately excluded from his narrative all that was not strictly relevant to his purpose. Though the author has had his full share of per sonal experiences" he wrote. yet want of space has compelled him to omit such details, except where they serve to bring out some circumstan- ces bearing upon the general design of the work And the same neces- sity obliges him to forego to a great extent mere moral and devotional re- factions" He applied similar re- quiries into the life and conduct of patriarchs, prophets and kings" What remains is a colorful narrative unob- trusively but brilliantly illuminated now and then by a comment which throws some incident of the Bible story into high relief and enables the reader to feel its human interest as never before.
 whether one regards the Bible as Literature" or as an inspired book, the advantage of such untechnical is obvious. Dr.Thompson was ripe scholar, but his scholar ship never led him into barren fields. Dry textual exposition was no part of his plan. His scholarship appears, however, in the adequacy and exact ness of his discussion of every point that has in his view a vital meaning.
 Manners and customs, topography, ruins of ancient places, and all that may tend to a better understanding of the Bible and an interest in the land itself are fully described.

Actor Dies In
 Drama Dive
Caught in Quicksand at Pond Where Moving Pic
 lures Were Being Taken

New York. July 12-From the coun- tryside around Grasmere, s. l., every man, woman and child who could put work aside for the moment flocked to Brady's Pond yesterday afternoon to witness a thrilling drama enacted by company of twenty-five actors for a moving picture film manufacturer. and heroine came when the villain, otherwise Harry Remington, an actor, from Manhattan, tossed the heroine, Mrs. Laura Belmar. wife of the film manufactures, from a rowboat.
 On the shore, in range Of the nov ing picture camera, stood Albert Brighton, of 27O West Eighty ninth the hero. It was his part when the heroine fell screaming into the wa ter to dive after her and rescue her.
 An audience of 100 watched the scene breathlessly. The heroine strug- gled in the boat and presently was tossed overheard. The onlookers cheered and redoubled their applause dive. plunged from the shore into the water.
 The actors and the audience watch ed for hin~to reappear, expecting to see him rise many feet from shore. The seconds passed, however, and there was no sign of Brighton Kerr ington in the boat picked up the ac- tress and then rowed rapidly toward the spot where Brighton had entered the water. Other actors and many men in the audience got other boats and rowed about the pond. There was no sign of Brighton, however
 Then some of the natives began to tell how the pond had a bottom of quicksand and how many other per- sons had lost their lives in it. Word was sent to the police at Tompkins- vile and they came with grappling irons. They dragged. the pond for hours before they finally got Brigh, tons body from the bottom, where the actor had stuck fast after his dive.
 The body was taken to the morgue in Tompkinsville and Brighton's wife was notified of the accident. The ac- tor was 39 years old, and was we'll known in his profession. He had been employed principally in stock companies in the West and South.

Solicitor Newton
 Suspended For
 Bogus Confession
Especial from United Press ,

London, July Exchanged with hay ing sold a bogus confession of pr. Harvey Hawley Crippen, the Ameri can physician convicted and execut- ed for the murder of his wife, and of having misconducted the case. Arthur Newton, the solicitor who had charge of Crfppen's defense, was, today, sus- pended from the practice of law for one year.
 The order of suspension was made by Lord Alverstone, chief justice of England, and Justices Darling and Bankes, after a lengthy investiga- tion.
 The Lord Chief Justice and the two other justices were convinced that Newton, two weeks after Crippen's execution, sold to a London paper what purported to be confession from his client which was subsequent ly proven to have been false.N

MOUNT BRYAN.
The Hon. Choice B. RandeH of Tex. as Views a Cloudy Nebras-
 ka Peak.

From the Congressional Record of July D. Before I take my seat Mir. Chair ! man, I will say there is one thing should not overlook. The frequent allusion by gentlemen on that side a spokesman or mouthpfece but for whom I have the highest respect challenges my attention. From time to time have heard slurring remarks come across the aisle in reference to the most distinguished Democrat in this country, and it has grated on my nerves. No matter how we may diff fer in reference to our political views, all men should recognize true man. hood and merit wherever they see it. And if there ever was a man in this country who stood out fairly and op- enly for what he believed, and who expressed clearly the views on each side of every question he discussed, and who stated with clearness and fairness the arguments for and against that man is W. J. Bryan. Applause on the Democratic side) Yet he is abused and hated. I know nothing like it since, in ancient times, Aris- popular vote. His ability and prob- ity stood pre-enljnent He was call- ed "the Just.'' But he was banished. If the protectionists and grafters could have their way MT. Bryan would have to seek some foreign cline.
 MT. Bryan is devoted Democrat, he is a patriot, he is a Christian gen. tleman, and he stands high in the United States and in all the civilized world Why any man should speak slightingly of him I do not know, and I cannot understand why gentlemen pn that side should refer to him with unfriendly slurs. I suppose that is the price men have to pay for great ness. AS Byron expressed it: He who ascends to mountain tops
 shall find
 The loftiest peaks most wrapped in |, clouds and snow:
 Must look down on the hate of those
 below.
 Applause on the Democratic side.)
 But, Mir. Chairman, in the future vicissitudes of this nation, in the calm and in the storm, when reason rules or passion sways, this same man Bryan will, in all the days to come stand as tower of Democratic strength, an impersonation of civic righteousness.
 Like some tall cliff that lifts its aw-
 full form,
 SwellS from the vale and midway
 leaves the storm,
 Though round his breast the rolling
 clouds are spread,
 Eternal sunshine settles on his head

New Haven, July 12-Coroner Mix has started the investigation of the circumstances surrounding the injur- les received by a man now in the New Haven hospital, who it is feared may die. The man is an Italian who was brought here from Ridgefield with a big cut in the side, which is believed to have penetrated the lung.
 The man himself in a statement to the coroner says that he was cutting a watermelon on July and some one came up and logged his arm so that he cut himself. This, explanation sounds so peculiar however, that the matter will be looked into by the coroner
