1S-HOUR SPECIAL
HIT BY A FREIGHT
Confusion in Signal Leads
tOOne Death on Pennsy.

Pittsburg, Sept. A.-Passengers on the
eighteen-hour Pennsylvania Special were
hurled from their berths shortly after
freight train of fifty cars crashed into
their train at Larimer, sixteen miles
east OF this city. The fireman OF the
special was killed and members of the
crew of both trains injured. Only one
passenger was hurt He is S. D. FauIk-
ner. of Jersey City.
Fireman S. E. Campbell was crushed
though seriously injured, L. c. Henry, the
engineer, made a heroic effort to rescue
his comrade. Aided by others. he finally
succeeded. but Campbell died soon.
Those injured were:
Fred Newhouse, fireman OF the freight
train.
c. F. Longanecker. brakeman of the
freight.
H. R. Shaw. engineer of the freight.
II. d. Faulkner.
The special. which left Pittsburg at l
o'clock. had been stopped by an inter
locking signal near Larimer to allow the
freight TO pass. Confusion in signals
caused the west-bound freight to take the
track on which the special was headed
east. The crash deraiIed five of the
freight cars. a mail car on the special,
and damaged both engines.
Faulkner was asleep in his berth when
the crash came. His head was jammed
against the panel, and the muscles of his
neck were badly strained.
The special resumed its journey three
hours late.

ENBMY'S COUNTRY
WELCOMES TAFT
President Finds Kansas Will
ing to Hear Him.

Baldwin,. Kans., Sept. 24-Here, in
tranquil hamlet, tucked away in the
eastern region OF the State, President
Taft spent the first day of his campaign
in insurgent Kansas.
All about him were Republican leaders
of the State, progressives and regulars
alike. Gov. Stubbs, -ultra-insurgent,
whose sympathies are believed to lie
with Senator La Toilette in his ambi-
ton for the Presidency, met the Presi-
dent al Lawrence, the governors home
where Mr.. Taft stopped of for an hour
and delivered an address to students of
the University of Kansas in their chapel.
Gov Stubbs managed, throughout the
day, to avoid any reference to the pros
poets of Mr.. Taft's campaign in the
Sunfower State. What the governor
thinks he has been keeping to himself.
He brushed aside interviewers who asked
him what Kansas thought of Mr.. Taft'S
tariff veto and which among the inSur-
gent element are regarded as the monu
mental blunder of the Taft administra-
ton.
In his stop at the University of Kan
sas, President Taft took occasion to
hurl a shaft at r. T. Crane, who re-
Gently rallied against the drinking habit
in universities. Without mentioning
Cranes name, the President said:
There are temptations in the life of
/ every college student of every univer-
sity With reference to universities. I
know what Yale was in my days. and 1
know ii might have been better. l
contributed something to the detectives
knowledge in those days possibly, but to-
day there is higher standard of moral
ity Dissipation and drinking are frowned
upon by the public opinion of the col
lege; that is what shows what a college
is-the public opinion of the young men
and young women VINO are in it, and 1
resent scandal making and undertaking
with reference to the standard of our
universities, when they are doing such
good work and are putting out men
into the community with higher moral
ideas every year"
All of Baldwins 1,40O inhabitants were
out to see the President. The day was
hot and the President almost wilted as
he attended the First Methodist Church
service in the morning and the inaugu-
ration at Baker University in the after
noon.
He left Baldwin at midnight for his
tour of the State.

congregation desire a minister more on
dried preacher.
The pulpit is attracting men whose
name is a byword in Lutheran church
circles, not because it pays one of the
highest salaries in the city. $500, but be-
cause of the prestige it offers
For that reason the eyes of the Luth-
eran world, and especially of that sect
in Washington, are turned on the Me-
mortal Church at the present time, and
are awaiting with more than usual in
terest the selection of a new pastor.
Backing DIR. Miller.
Rev. Edgar C. Miller. D. D., of Co
lumbia, Pa, preached trial sermon yes
terday morning and last night at the
church. 1t Is said that many of the we'll
known Lutheran clergymen of that State
are backing DR.. Miller as the best man
for the vacancy. However, after his SER
mon yesterday, the church council held a
meeting, in which II was resolved to in
vite several more preachers before a Sc
lection is made. This is, taken by the
congregation to mean that DR.. Miller was
not entirely satisfactory, although his SER
Rev. Ernest r. McCauley, D. D.. of AL
toona, Pa. filled the pulpit last Sunday
He is considered a most forceful talker
and is regarded by many as one of the best
preachers in the Lutheran church of that
State.
Rev. Henry Anstadt, of Gettysburg, Pa;
Rev. G. T. Nicholas, of Butler, Pa; DR..
J. G. G. Scherer. of Charleston, S. C.,
and DR.. Milton Valentine, of Philadel-
obi Of he I MI re
others who have preached during the
present vacancy. although DR.. Miller and
DR.. McCauley seem to have made the best
impression. and until other ministers have
| had chance to impress the members
and the council, these two lead in the
race
1t is probable the vacancy will not be
filled permanently until the first part OF
November. as there is absolutely
present and a congregational meeting
is necessary for the members to get to-
gether on the subject. This will not be
held until the latter part of October, ac-
| cording to present plans.
