LACK Of SIGNALS
GIVEN AS CAUSE
Of JERSEY WRECK
Track Repairers Said to
Have Failed to Warn Ap-
preaching Train.

EASTON, Pa, May Failure of il
section foreman to place a green flag
to warn the engineer to proceed with
caution is alleged today to have been
the cause of Saturdays fatal railroad
wreck at Martins Creek, n. j.. in which
eleven lives were lost. The section
hands were repairing the track, and
while some say that the regular signal
of caution was shown, others, including
Fireman Parsons, OF the train, insist
no signal was set.
The wreck was caused by the heavy
train spreading the rails.
Statistics gathered today have in
creased the known number of dead from
six to eleven. Five of these have been
positively identified. Others were SO
badly burned or mutilated when the
train plunged from the rails on a curve
that even their sex may never be de-
termined.
From reports on conditions of the In
jured who are being cared for in Eas-
ton Hospital, II is said today that three.
and probably four or five, may die of
their terrible hurts or burns before the
day is over. The revised list of identi-
fed dead made today follows:

Company Not Liable for
Overflow Waste Water

Owners of real estate must protect
their own lands against overflow of
waste water and cannot recover dam
ages against persons owning property
from which the water flows. according
to a decision today of the District
Court of Appeals.
A verdict for $500 Mrs. Mary A.
Thomas secured against the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company for alleged
damage to her property is set aside by
the Appellate Court, declaring the COM
pany is not liable for damages caused
by waste water flowing from its right
of-way.
The opinion of Justice Robb says the
common law rule imposing a duty upon
property owners to care as best they
can of overfiows upon their land is in
force in the District. under an opinion
of the United States Supreme Court,

to do their full duty towards the same
Several cities and towns have been
bidding for this school for years;
among them are Memphis, Clarksville,
Nashvine, and the present site, Shell
byville. The men from the western
part of the state in which Memphis
is located declare that if Turner Nor
NAL were located in that city it would
get a larger support locally than it
can from the whole state if located
elsewhere. Clarksville has always
loomed up as strong bidder. At one
time it looked like that hustling town
would win, and an offer was made to
the trustee Board to sell them a very
desirable site, and the citizens and
business men of Clarksville pledged
liberal support to the institution, but
the opportunity to get the site refer
red to was allowed to go by, and the
men who were pushing Clarksville lost
heart and gave up the fight But
since the matter has been opened
again, and is in such an unsettled con-
dition, it is believed that Clarksville
will become strong competitor wiLn
the other places that are seeking the
school. 1t is not thought the change
will be made in two or three years,
but it seems to be the consensus of
opinion that finally Shelbyville will
lose Turner Normal College.

Loaded beyond the danger point,
with oats and wheat, the second and
third floors of the building occupied
by the Mckay and Reese Grain Com
pany for storage gave way under the
weight of tons and fell through to
the first floor, occupied by the Ar
cade Milling Company.
Crashing to the ground with roar
and throwing a column of dust into
the air, the entire structure, with the
exception of twenty feet in front,
was completely demolished. The fall
ing roof, floors and walls, after break
ing through to the first floor, fell
south along First avenue, the top
most bricks reaching out more than
forty feet into the street.
No intimation was had by those
in the building that the walls were
falling until they had started down.
The escape of many of the work
men in the destroyed building was al
most miraculous. Several leaped to
the doors of the building upon hear
ing the first crash of the falling
walls, and were saved. One buried
beneath tons of wreckage, grain and
brick was so guarded by the broken
timbers as to be still alive when the
rescuers dug him from the ruins.

The increase in membership has been
very encouraging. New lodges are
sOringing into existence all over the
state
The people of Woodlawn are ex-

grown to be very healthy youngster
