TRAINS COLLIDE; SEVEN DEAD
MISSOURI PACIFIC PASSENGER
TRAIN HITS FREIGHT.
isunderstood Train Orders Caused
An Accident in Which 20
Were Injured.

Omaha, Nebraska.-Seven persons
were killed and twenty-eight injured
four of them seriously, in a collision
between Missouri Pacific Passenger
Train No 105, northbound, en- route
for this city, and fast freight train
at Fort Crook. ten miles south OF this
city. The accident resulted from a
misunderstanding of orders on the
part of the freight crew
A passenger train, due to leave this
city for the south about the time Of
the accident, was converted into a re-
lief train and sent to the scene of the
accident
Governor Gilchrist, of Florida, who
was passenger on the northbound
train, was uninjured.
Passenger Train No. 105 out of Kan
sas City in charge Of Conductor F. r.
Travers was running late. Conductor
l.. p Gross of the freight passed
South Omaha at $50. He had signed
off" bat evidently did not check the
train register as to the whereabouts
of No. 105.
At the point of collision the track
makes sharp curve, shutting off the
view Of the Fort Crook station, where
Engineer E. c. Crawford of the freight
first caught sight of No 105, which
was coming at high speed. Engineer
Crawford had no orders in regard to
No. 105, but he whistled and slack
ened speed. When the passenger did
answer he concluded that it was a
train on the adjoining Burlington
tracks which are within a short dis
tance Of each other. Both crews real
lied the danger and reversed their en-
gines. The momentum of the passen-
ser, however, was so great that it was
piled high upon the freight engine,
which almost had stopped. The crews
Of both engines jumped and were not
injured seriously.
The impact derailed both engines
and telescoped the mail cars upon the
passenger coach, in which about forty
people were riding
ShriekS and groans mingled with
the sound of escaping steam and the
cracking of the cars brought the pas
sengers in the Pullman rushing to the
front of the train, to find the coach a
mass of wreckage at the forward end
and the dead and dying lying in every
position from the top of the car down.
The dead and injured were all resi-.
dents of Nebraska and Kansas.

SUCCUMBS TO A SUDDEN ATTACK
OF BRONCHITIS AT HIS
WASHINGTON HOME.
ON BENCH THIRTY YEARS
Wrote the Famous Dissenting Opinion
on Reasonable restraint" in the
Recent Standard
Oil Case.

Washington, d. C.-Associate JUS
tice John NJ. Harlan, senior member
of the supreme court of the United
States, rs years old, died at his home
here following a brief illness of bron-
chitis He sat on the bench when the
October term of court opened Mon
day, but on Tuesday was confined to
his home with a cold which gradually
grew worse.
The aged jurist won extraordinary
fame last spring when he dissented
from the opinions of the remainder Of
the highest court in the Standard Oil
and tobacco trust decisions, asserting
that his associates were amending the
law by reading the word reasonable"
into the Sherman antitrust law.
Harlan served thirty-four years on
the bench, which, with one exception
Is the longest term in the history of
the country.
The death of Justice Harlan gives
President Taft the duty of electing
his fifth appointee to the supreme
bench which will make a majority on

TURKISH TROOPS ARE TO BE AT.
Tackled IMMEDIATELY.
Corstantinople Government Demorsl.

Talked

Tripoli, Tripoli. - General Caneva,
pedition, has decided to act quickly
and the troops under him will march
Immediately against the positions oc-
cupied by the Turks. A reconnois-
| ance of the desert disclosed the CEN
trail body Of Turkish troops not far
from the city
Nineteen more Italian transports
escorted by warships and carrying the
second division of the troops arrived
and the men were landed hastily, max
ing a total of $4,000 Italian soldiers
on the coast of Tripoli
1t is reported that the Arabs have
accepted the Italian occupation joy
fully, but some of the warships re-
main in the harbor in readiness for
emergencies. Troops were landed also
at Beghazi, Derna, Todruk and Bonn
ba. General Caneva has addressed a
proclamation TO the inhabitants, as
suring them they have not been en-
slaved by Italy, but have been liber-
ated from the yoke under which they
have been laboring for years. They
will be ruled by their own chiefs un-
der the patronage of the king of Italy.
Religious and civil laws will be re-
spected and taxes will be reduced or
abolished.
The proclamation concludes by an
oil shall remain the land of Islam un-
der the protection of Italy.
No Armistice Arranged.
Rome.-That an armistice has been
arranged between italy and Turkey,
as reported from Berlin, strenuously
is denied by the Italian government.
dispatch from Tripoli to the Gior-
male d'Italia says that the Turkish
government, being unable to commun-
icate directly with Munhir Pasha, COM
mander of the former Turkish garri-
son at Tripoli, has telegraphed to the
Turkish cOnsuls at Tunis and Mattao
to instruct him TO resist as long as
possible.
London.-The Daily Telegraph's
Constantinople correspondent, in re-
viewing the situation, says that Tur-
key lacks a government. practical
leaders, or a policy, and that she is
floundering hopelessly.
The problem of reconciling Islam
ism and constitutionalism,' says the
correspondent, has proved insoluble,
and the young Turkish regime is sick
unto death. 1t is not impossible that
present events may lead TO the deposi-
tion of the sultan, the military Sec
tion of the committee of union and
progress being in favor of placing the
heir-apparent, Prince Yussof, on the
throne. Yussof is credited with an
iron will and great political sagac-
ity'
Chicago.-Many Jews of Chicago
are alarmed at stories printed that
the cession of Palestine will be de-
manded by INtaly in settlement of
claims raised by the disturbances in
Tripoli, and, furthermore, that the
Holy Land will then be turned over
to the pope as a temporal domain.
Such a change, it is feared, would not
only destroy the Jewish movement of
colonization in Asia Minor, but also
forbid residence or travel in the land
of the Jews to anyone except Chris.

ORDER COMBINE DISSOLVED.
Electric Trust Must Separate Its
Constituents.

Toledo, Ohio. Declaring that
their desire was to comply with all of
the provisions of the statutes and that
they did not think their acts had been
unlawful, the General Electric COM
pany. the Westinghouse Electric
company, and thirty-four other cleo
trical companies, engaged in the manu-
lamps and lamp machinery, threw
themselves upon the mercy of Judge
Killits in the federal courts when they
withdrew their answers to the govern
ment suit charging a monopoly in res
traint of trade.
The governments suit was filed six
months ago in Cleveland. 1t charged
that all the defendant companies,
through contracts, agreements and
conspiracies were restraining trade
and asked the dissolution of the COM
bine. Judge Killits ruled that the con-
cealment of the interest of the Gen
eral Electric in the National Electric
company was unlawful. in that it had
been pretending TO be separate and
competing company. The court or
dered that the National company and
all its subsidiaries be dissolved and
that the General Electric be enjoined
from conducting business except in its
own name. Judge Killits' ruling was
complete breaking up of the trust,
providing that:
Ali factories. plants and selling de-
partments shall be made kno wn 10 the
public as the property and business of
the General Electric company.
