The British government has decided
to exclude the American meat packers
against whom prosecutions have been
instituted in the United States from
bidding for contracts for the supply of
meat to the British army and navy,
pending the settlement of the suits.
The decision of the government is due
to the opposition of labor and ad-
vanced radical members of Parlia-
ment to the American trusts. The
contracts given out by the War Office,
which had hitherto been secured by
America firms, are now expected to go
to Argentina meat packers.

Odessa, Minn.-Twelve persons were
killed and score injured In col
lision here when the second section
OF the Columbian Flyer, from the Pa.
cifit Coast, bound for st. Paul. on
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
road. crashed into the rear end of the
first section of that train.
The engine OF the second section,
which was hauling a special consign-
ment of silk. tore its way almost to
the middle of the sleeper on the rear
of the first section.
The sleeper, hurled forward by the
impact. was stripped from the front
end by the diner, the next coach
ahead. almost to the point where the
engine had stopped its destructive
plowing. The rear of the diner and
the pilot OF the engine thus almost
touched. Those who escaped death
were in this small clear space.
The sleeper did not leave the right
OF way, nor was either car twisted. No
other cars suffered more than slight
damage. Their steel construction had
been put to supreme test and it was
demonstrated that even steel cars
may be telescoped.
Responsibility for the wreck has not
been determined definitely, but is said
to rest between the operator at Orton-
vile Junction, who, it is asserted,
should not have permitted the silk
train to enter the block in which there
was train; the operator who, it is
said. failed to lift the stop signal for
the flyer and the flagman of the flyer.
who. it is claimed. failed to protect
the rear of his train after it had
stopped at the block.
