who did not receive as much as q
scratch, was able to give a coherent
account of the accident. He saw the
headlight of the northbound North

distance, and, before he could urge
his overtaxed team across the tracks
the monster locomotive had ground
through the vehicle with it's party OF
merrymakers.
Not one of the survivors, with the
exception of the driver, saw the train
or heard it's approach; none realized
the danger until picked up. The

feet before it could be stopped.
Words fail to describe the scene
following the collision. Mangled
bodies were strewn along the tracks
Six bodies were taken off the pilot
of the engine. Dismembered parts
of many were left on the trail Of

WATER CO, COLLECTS
$7706.50 OF CITY
Officials Believe Richmond
Is Paying Too Much Fire
Hydrant Rentals.

Controller E. G. McMahan on
Wednesday paid the Richmond City
Water Works company $7,7O6.50. for
a half years rent of fire hydrants.
The city receives water for public
buildings, parks. and other uses free
of charge. Now that the city is work
ing with the Water Works company
for a new franchise. officials are talk
ing of a better fire hydrant contract.
1t expires in 1912. This contract states
that the company shall furnish water
plugs to the city for $40 per year.
One of the officials said on Wednes-
day morning one of the chief reasons
why the city wants a new franchise
is that the public is paying too much
for the use of the fre hydrants, for
it was pointed out that little water is
used from many of the plugs during
the year. 1t was also stated that the
city receives nothing from the Water
Works company for the use of its
streets. 1t is claimed that the new
franchise should include a rental for
the streets.

Mexican WAR DUE
TO FEDERAL EVILS
Prof. Starr in Reviewing
Causes for Mexican Trou-
bic Criticises u. S.

Chicago, April 12.-The United
States government was criticized as
unwise and unwarranted in sending
troops to the borders of Mexico, and
the Mexican revolution declared justi-
fled by the policy of the Diaz admins
tration by Professor Frederick Starr,
the University of Chicago anthropolo-
gist, in a lecture on present Condi-
tions in Mexico" at the Peoples Lib
eral church, Sixty-fifth street and
Stewart avenue. Professor Starr said
the Mexican government had already
tacitly recognized the reasonableness
of the uprising.
The university scientist, who has
just returned from a three months
trip tot Mexico, expressed sympathy
with the revolutionists, who, he said,
will continue their opposition until
they gain their demands.
THE effect of sending American
soldiers to the border is bad" he de-
clared. mo matter what the excuse
or who instigated it, it will affect the
relations of the United States with
Latin-America for. years to come. AS
to the business side of the question,
if the American business man wants
to invest his money in a foreign coun.
try he ought to take his own risks and
not expect his government to back
him up.
THE revolution is a real one and
will not cease until profound and rad
ical changes are made. There never
will be calm in Mexico again. Among
the evils objected to by the revolution.
lists are bad governors and the extrem-
ely heavy tax burden placed on the
people for mere display to the outside
world. An example of this display is
the national opera house in construc-
ton in the City of Mexico, which will
cost approximately one dollar for ev.
cry man, woman and child in Mexico.
Another evil is the enormous graft
/ do not accuse President Diaz OF
grating. He is not very rich man,
although he is not poor. But the Mex.
leans would not begrudge him any
money that he has made off the peo.
pie. The fourth question to be settled
is the land question.
"As proof that the revolution is JUS
titled. President Diaz has already re.
moved three of the worst governors,
has received the designations of his
cabinet, and has promised land re
form. But these things will not be
enough. The trouble will not be over
until all the demands of the opposition
are obtained
Professor Starr is regarded as an
authority on Mexican conditions. He
has made many scientific trips to var.
ious parts of the country and has lived
there for extensive periods. He aban.
doned plans for an expedition to Ko-
rea last fall in order to investigate
Mexican conditions during the unset.

BURNED TUESDAY,
Neighbors Take in Aged
Couple Purchased Farm

Ago-No Insurance.

BY the most heroic efforts. James
Lamb. an octogenarian. rescued his Is
year old wife, lying helpless with q
broken hip. from the burning home of
the couple. four miles south Of Rich.
mond on the Liberty pike. The fire
which originated from u defective flue
burned the log cabin house and con.
tents to a pile Of gray ashes. The
flames broke out about six o'clock on
Tuesday evening.
Situated among the hills. In seclud-
ed spot. and surroslnded by large
trees. the cabin stands. Far from any
neighbors and without connection from
the outside world by telephone. Lamb
could only attempt to rescue his WIFE,
He had no chance to save the cabin
from destruction.
With the old couple both Of whom
are feeble, live two small children.
However, until a few weeks ago, they
managed well, but then Mrs. Lamb,
In a hard fall fractured one of her
hips. Since that time she has laid In
bed. suffering greatly, and being cared
for by neighbors when they had time
to attend her. and by such aid as her
aged husband and the little children
could give.
While preparing supper on Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Lamb detected an odor
Of smoke. but for several minutes was
unable to learn Of It's source. Finally
with n cry, his wife, pointed to lit
tie glowing spot. near the chimney.
Lamb went as fast as his age would
permit, and returned with bucket of
water. but too late.
Laid helpless.
That portion OF the house In which
the Old couple. cool cat and sleep. was
filled with dense smoke. and little ton.
CUES Of flame were licking their hun.
cry way around the chimney. Mrs
Lamb could not move from the bed.
and was ChOked from the fire and
smoke.
Amid the cracking OF flames Lamb
made his way to the bed. As his wife
extended her arms he almost tainted
from the smoke and excitement.
by an almost super.human effort
for man Of his age. Lamb picked up
his aged wife and bodily bore her
from the flaming building which had
been their home. He staggered be.
yond the limits Of the fire and then
fell to the ground In a faint.
When the neighbors arrived attract
ed by the dense clouds of smoke and
flames. which were even visible over
the hills. they found them In the yard.
Although n terrible experience. II is
believed that the couple will not sur.
fer more than temporary nervous.
ness from the shock. Mrs. Lambs
condition Is serious but not critical.
Her broken hip was not further injur-
cd when she was brought from the
fire.
There was no insurance on the
house nor furniture. The family Is
In destitute circumstances and are be.
ing cared for by Robert Lamb. a bro.
ther. and neighbors. The Lambs had
been In possession Of the place less
