AUTO cOLLIOEs WITH TRAIN
mobile Completely Demolished
No One Badly injured

About five O'Clock Monday after
noon the Flanders go" touring car
belonging to Mr.. H. S. Chambers, and
driven by Dan Pettys. a negro cauf-
feur, collided with the northbound
Seaboard freight train at the Broad
way crossing, just west Of the city
and was completely demolished, and
why the driver was not killed will
ever remain mystery Fortunately
there was no one else in the car ex-
cept Pettys at the time of the acct
dent. He was driving into town, due
east, and claims that the train did
not blow for the crossing, and the
engines bell did not ring He did not
hear the approaching train until the
car and the train came together. The
cowcatcher caught up the automobile
like so much chaff and carried it for
an hundred yards or more down the
track, finally f1inging it to one side so
completely smashed that there was
scarcely any car left to bear testi-
mony to the fact that it had been an
automobile. Only the engine and two
front wheels remained intact, and
they were also injured The cross
ties were torn from the rails along
the scene of the accident, and the
driver of the car was hurled into the
air some fifteen or twenty feet, and
landed in soft place He escaped
with only few minor injuries, such
as scratches, cuts and bruises, no
bones being broken.
Many drove out to see the battered
car, and Mr. Chambers friends regret
very much the loss of his machine
He will in all probability sue the rail
road for damages, as the driver
claims the accident was due to neg
ligence on the part of the train crew.
The automobile was practically a new
one, having been in use for few
months only

A FEW FIRE LESSONS.

In the disastrous fire of Sunday
morning I'M the business district of
Houston the press of that city draws
this lesson. That the real origin of
the fire was in the construction of the
buildings, or some of them at least,
many years ago. lnfiammable building
material was used and that meant that
at some time there would be fire
with its consequent losses. 1t also
meant that through all these years
there was danger of fire and conse-
quent higher insurance rates, thereby
laying an extra burden on the people.
In this deduction by the Houston
press is there not also lesson for
Bryan? Now is our building time. Are
we building wisely? Have we fire
limit, and If so, is it being rigidly CON-
piled with? The Eagle is not informed
as to the present boundary lines of
the limits, but we do know that within
the past few months veritable fire
trap has been erected in the territory
that was included in the fire limits a

The soiaces 81 Labor.

In adult life 1t Is the obligation to
work that speeds the time and sends
the years rolling behind us, while we,
unconscious OF their passing, bungle
away at the given task, building abb
sorbedly away at our little structure
of separate life, says Harper's Weekly
That the ground was cursed for our
sake we can see by the turning OF the
child, after six or seven years of play
and ease, to the desire for work. He
envies every one about him, their re-
sponsibilities and obligations. He
plays at having to sit still in church
or of taking punishment In school,
and finally he begins to plead for
tasks.
But long before we finish with life
work performs other vitality important
functions for us; it both concentrates
and diverts. Work 1t is which prevents
us from diffusing vaguely through
time and space without any gain or
objective reality. Life. we must re-
member, is only available as 1t is put
into concrete form, and most of the
work of drawing lines around the in
visible and the infinite, building up
and setting in motion the machinery
of visible life. To do however small
a share of this great universal task
requires the herding home of scat
tered thoughts and emotions and the
willful confinement of thought to a
given object. Whether it be house
to set in order or a shop to keep, an
engine to build or book to write, We
have the same task ahead-to call
home our thoughts from willful stray.
ing through interminable fields of
vague distance and hold them fixed
upon the given point. This faithful
carrying out of a purpose is what
makes a personality. The man who
t.has consciously controlled his thought
for the carrying out of his given OBJ
iect has also bulded himself. Wher-
ever there are set purposes and power
to accomplish there is likewise per
sonality.

One thing that would help the APP
pearance of Main street more than
anything else would be the adoption
of uniform awnings. Let every build
ing be equipped with modern avn
ing. all of uniform height and width
and it absolutely would not look like
the same street Now some of them
are high, some low, some "betwiXt and
between" and all together they give
the street such a ragged appearance
that it causes you to have the dizzy
wiggles" to look at it. They are not
only unsightly, but many of them are
built of wood and are veritable fire
traps. A match, live wire, just any
thing would start a conflagration
Tear them out, root and branch, and
let's make them uniform, safe, sane

few years ago. What changes have
been made in the past few years, II
any, we do not know
Be that as it may, Bryan should
have fire limit and it should be rigid
" enforced as to all men. 1t should
then have a building ordinance gov
erning the class of buildings that shall
and shall not go up inside the fre
limits, and this also should be ell
forced to the letter.
The danger from fires is too great
for these things to be neglected. Now
is the corrective period. If the WORK
is started now, and started rigidly, II
will remove large element of danger
through the years to come, and also
make lighter the burden OF high in
surance rates.

SENATORS STRIKE
OUT CLAUSE WHICH

immigration Bill Modified by
Committee at Behest of

The Senate immigration Committee
today modified the Dillingham; immi-
grafton bill In manner calculated
to remove the possibility of a recur-
renee of trouble with Japan over the
immigration question.
Under the terms of the bill as re-
Gently reported from the committee
the excluded persons comprehend
Chinese and Japanese laborrs, under
that clause barring laborers from
countries whose subjects cannot be
come naturalized Americans.
Good reasons exist for the belief that
Japan intimated to the State Depart
ment that such an arrangement would
be Objectionable inasmuch as Japan is
supposed to be keeping its agreement
with respect to passports and not send
ing immigrants to this country. At any
rate the State Department protested
vigorously to Senator Lodge, chairman
of the Senate Committee.
The committee met today and modi-
fled the bill by an amendment which
omits the Japanese from the list of the
excluded.
Senator Lodge pointed out that as
this country has a gentleman's agree
ment with japan 1t would be unwise
to seem to go back on the agreement.

Gov. Wilson Declines
To Criticise Colonel,
Sorry to Lose Friend

TRENTON. n, j.. Jan. 30.-The
latest Watterson effusion brought
many newspapermen to see Governor
Wilson today, but he refused to say
anything that in any way criticised
the aged Southcrner or with the
slightest sting in 1t. The governor
said that Watterson statement admit
ted of no comment.
He stood by his guns when he re-
iterated. Neither | NOR anyone at
my request asked Colonel Watterson
to raise any money to be used in my
behalf"
The governor added that he was per-
fectly willing that all letters which
PASSED between himsclf and Colonel
Wattcrson be published. When some
one remark I'd tha; it seemed pathetic
for a friendship to end iE. such a man
net. the governor said:
I am only sorry to have to regret

popular applause because OF his sacri-
fce of private friendship to public duty,
he was groveling at Harveys feet after
pardon for the shameless and heartless
treatment he admitted having bestowed
upon Harvey at the Manhattan Club.
IL he possesses a spark of honorable
sensibility. he will at once demand and
require the publication of the abject
letters he wrote to Harvey when he
was made to understand and realize
that he must square the account OF in
gratitude or take the consequences.
Refuses His Leadership.
Meanwhile. let me say, that whilst
the governors tardy repentance may
placate the forgiving Colonel Harvey
whilst It may even satisfy the suscept-
ible Mr.. Bryah--I refuse longer to fol-
low man whose nomination would, in
my judgment, be a disaster and whose
election a calamity. lie who could show
himself SO disloyal to private friendship
cannot be trusted to be loyal to any
thing. Within a single year Governor
Wilson's radical change of base, his
realignments and readjustments, per-
sonal and political, his affenses to some
and apologies to others, have been ex-
aotly concurrent with his selfish aims.
There seems to be no abasement into
which he Is unable to descend with
equal facility and grace. May God pro-
tect Democracy from such leader end
such leadership
