of the accident and that the first thing
that they knew was when they were
picked up from the ruins of the auto
mobile and placed on board the special
train to be brought to Kenosha. Mar
tin Rowe was in charge of the engine
of the train and r. Clarke a Chicago
man was the conductor. The train was
a special train known as the tBorden
Milk Special. :; Tt had picked up milk
along the western line and was running
at high rate of speed. The engin-
eer placed the speed at about twenty
five miles an hour and it is alleged
that the automobile was running almost
as fast. As the crossing is almost a
" blind crossing" it is declared by the
members Of the crew that nothing was
known of the automobile approaching
until it was too late to set the brakes
and second later the crash came. The
engine on the train was badly damag-
ed so violent was the force of the
collision
Wicks and his wife were picked up
under the ruins of a portion of the car
while Mrs. Hahn was thrown many
feet. At the time it was thought that
Mrs. Wieks had met with fatal injuries
and when the special train was started
for Kenosha orders were sent to have
the coroner in waiting for the coming
of the train but ali of the victims re-
covered consciousness e1troute to the
city.
Wicks was able to walk after he
reached the city but he was so dazed
that he could give no connected story
Of the accident. Even long after he
had left the operating table he insisted
that he could not tell how the thing
occurred. The railway men claim that
the escape of the three people from
death was miraculous as the automobile
was almost in the very center of the
track when the collision occurred.
There was a strange coincidence in
the accident as Frank B. Wicks iniur-
ed on Tuesday is half brother of Mon
roe Wicks who was killed at the same
crossing less than two months ago. At
that time Lucius Allen Pease Of Hart
ford, s. D., and former resident of
Salem also met death.
Since the accident in January mem
bers of the Town Board of Salem and
officials of the Northwestern railway
company had been seeking to find a
plan for the better protection of the
crossing which is known as one of the
worst in the county and it is probable
that as result of the accident on Tues
day that these arrangements will be
speedily carried out.
The accident caused great excitement
in the town of Salem where all the vic
TINS are widely known and the tele-
phone at the hospital was kept busy
until late in the night answering tele-
phone messages in regard to the condi-
tion of Mrs. Wicks and other members
of the party.

respects she prefers the Old way, or at
lea ct she would IL her father were living
because the greatest pleasure OF her girl
hood life that she can remember was
travelling with him in the old coach to
San Antonio and other places In the out
side world.
The development has been so sudden
at Santa Gertrude to realize what has
actually happened. Seven years ago their
nearest neighbor was twenty miles away
today, within twenty minutes ride, Is
thriving little city OF three thousand In
habitants
It is due directly to Mr.. Kleberg that
this development has occurred, because he
suggested and sank the first artes1an
we'll that made farming possible told
YOU the story in a recent letter. The well
was drilled to save the cattle In a
drought. Now there are more than 800
wells in this part of Texas. and lI5 on
the King ranch alone. 1t was Mr.. kle-
berg who first started farming on the
gulf coast: it was he who sold the hrst
farm to q northern homeseeker in this
part of Texas; 1t was he who suggested
the construction of the railway and inter-
ested B. F. Yoakum and other capitalists
in the transformation of this coast from
a cattle range into fruit orchards. vegeta-
BILE farms, cotton plantations and sugar
cane fields.
There are about 5000 blooded horses on
the King ranch; nobody knows just how
many, and the possibilities OF breeding
which is perplexing the cavalry arm of
the United States Army might be solved
on Santa Gertrude ranch. Mr.. kleberg
saws that he will contract to furnish as
MANY horses as the army needs of any
breed that may be preferred.

WINTHROP OBJECTS TO
BAN ON SERVICE UNIFORM
Suggests That Coast States Pass
Laws to Punish Dis
elimination.

AS another step in the effort to elimi-
nate discrimination against the wearers
OF the service uniforms of the United
States. Acting Secretary Winthrop of the
Navy has directed the attention Of the
governors of the Atlantic and Pacific
coast states to recent legislation of Con-
gress and the Rhode Island legislature.
Congress has made It a misdemeanor
for the proprietor or manager of a place
OF amusement in the district of Column
bia or the territories to discriminate
against a man because he wears the
uniform of the Army. Navy or Marine
Corps. The Rhode Island law is Of a
similar import.
Mr.. Winthrop suggested that the NAVY
Department would be gratified IL laws
along these lines could be passed in the
coast states so often visited by the Navy
and Marine Corps.
Discrimination against the personnel Of
the Navy and Marine Corps while in uni
form, wrote Mr.. Winthrop. is most I'M
fortunate and unnecessary in view Of the
excellent character Of the young men who
are now enlisting, the vast majority Of
whom are seIf-respecting, coming from
respectable homes
