TRAPPED IN THE TUNNEL
Passengers on a Boston and Maine Ex-
press In Dreadful Danger In the
Hoosac Tube

North Adams, Mass, Feb. 12-
Wrecking crews are at work today try
ing 10 clear the Hoosae tunnel under
the Hoosac mountains from the wreck
age of a passenger and a freight train
which collided in the big tube beneath
the mountains late yesterday after
noon Six persons, members of the
train crews, were killed.
The accident occurred $500 feet from
the east portal OF the tunnel The
freight train went into the tunnel just
before o'clock and when near the
further end of the four mile SHAFT had
to stop. a 1agman succeeded in stop
ping the express, which was follow
ing the freight, and then got aboard
the engine, which proceeded cautious
ly toward the freight. For some un-
explained reason the electric engine,
which was pulling the express thru
the tunnel, failed to stop as it neared
the rear of the freight train and a
moment later there was terrific
crash. This was followed by an cleo
trio display and a burst of flames, and
then the rear freight cars took fire.
The steam locomotive which was at
tached to the passenger train behind
the electric engine, escaped injury and
was freed from the motor in the crash.

The National Anthem.

Contrary to the general opinion,
the "Star Spangled Banner" is not the
national anthem of the United
States. In fact, this country has no
official national anthem. The fact
has many times caused a discussion
as to whether or not it was proper
to stand and uncover during the
playing of either "America" or the
"Star Spangled Banner" To remedy
the defect, Representative Foss, of
Chicago, has introduced a resolution
which if passed, will make the "Star
Spangled Banner" the official nation
al air of the United States.
The resolution reads that the "Star
Spangled Banner shall be adopted as
the official national air of the United
States of America and shall be rec
ognized as such on all official occa-
sions and ceremonies, both foreign
and domestic where the United States
or it's representatives are partici-
pants" It has long been the GUS
tom of the army and navy to regard
the "Star Spangled Banner" as the
national air and audiences generally
uncover and stand when it is played.
