DEATH
Six People In Every 100000
Are Murdered.

Washington. January 2I.-About
six persons In every 100000 in the
United States were murdered in 49,
10. This estimate is made by DR.. c.
L. Wilkburm, Chief Statistician of
Vital Statistics Of the Census Bureau.
He attributes to homicidal causes
$3.50 of the 4S.6O6 deaths from
violence in that year. This is at the
rate Of So per 100000, as against
80 in 1909; ga in 1909 and 6.9 in
1907.
Violent deaths resulted to 90S
persons out of 100000 in 1910 and in
1909 Only 1878 in the same number
met death in the same manner.
Railroads killed the greatest mum
Der. and 1877 deaths are reported
from injuries from that source.
This is an increase to 14.6 in every
100000 population over 10 / in 1909.
Accidental drowning took the next
largest number. 4.818 having met
death in the waters of the United
Sta ties. Flames brought death to A.
1872 and 2,484 we're sacrificed in, the
mines and quarrels during the year.
The street car systems claims 1,949
victims and deleteruOs gas 1873,
the smallest rate since 1906.
Automobiles killed $50 persons,
just 1.S to:every 10000 inhabitants,
This is an increase in rate over 1872
in 1900. Vehicles other than trains
street cars and automobiles killed
$40. Poison in food caused the
death of 1877 nd other poison'
brought death to /. 227. Eighty-nin'
died from stabs woundsand $50 were
buried in landslides. Animals killed

Thirty-eight persons starved t
death during the year; excessive colo

In Private Car.

Train No. 25, known as the New
Orleans express, was taking water
at Kinmundy at l o'clock when train
No. 8, the Panama Limited, ran into
the rear of No. Is.
The killed were in the private car
of Mr.. Melcher. Their bodies we're
found near the berths they had oc-
cupied.
Four occupants Of the private car
escaped death or injury. These are
Byron b. Curry. private secretary Of
Mr.. Melcher; Thomas B. Busbee, at
torney for the Rock Island in the
states of Arkansas and Louisiana.
and two negro porters.
The engine of No. 8 plowed its
way through the private car which
was attached to No. rs and was stop
ped by the steel coaches immediate
ly preceding it. The impact showed
the standing train for distance
down the tracks. although the brakes
were locked.
The engineer and fireman Of the
limited were slightly injured, but
were able to take the train South as
soon as the wreckage was cleared
away.
Relief trains left Centra.ia soon
after the wreck, intending to bring
the injured and dead to this place.
Mr.. Harahan recently retired from
the Presidency of the Illinois Central
Railroad on a pension. Mr.. Melcher
lived at Winnetka. ILL.,. and Mr..
Piercein Highland Park. suburbs of
Chicago. Mr.. Wright resided in
Memphis.
Residents of Kinmundy. town Of
500 inhabitants, opened their doors
to succor the injured.
The cause of the wreck is ascribed
to scarcity Of water along the road.
A special order makes it necessary
for all trains to take water at Kin
mundy and a freight train which
took water before the express held
the express longer than usual.
It is believed the engineer and
fireman Of the Panama Limited for
got about the order for all trains to
take water. The fiagman Of No. 25
did not have time to flag the limited

Special Dispat ch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 27.-Ten thousand
dollars and three ball players-Akers,
Becker and Cunningham-were paid by
Griffith for Chick Gandil. the Montreal
first baseman, who is to join the Nationals
in Boston Wednesday. Griffith saw
Gandil in but one game. that of yes
terday, at the conclusion of which he
agreed to come to the terms of the
Montreal club. In that one game Gan
dill did not get a base hit, but he
showed Griffith enough to satisfy him
that he is a great ball player.
Il don't know whether he can hit
or not for he did not hit in the game
/ saw him play, but after watching
him at work / made up my mind that
the Washington club could afford to pay
any price for him." said Griffith this
morning.
There were no less than four major
league clubs after Gandil, and Washing
ton outbid them. The day when it could
be charged that the reason for Washing
tons poor standing in the race was that
the club did not spend money for play
ers seems to have passed. Griffith de-
clared today that any tine a good ball
player was in sight the Washington club
would be bidder for him and that no
price was too high Il don't care If We

he declared.
Gandil will be one of the highest priced
minor leaguers that have broken into the
majors In recent years. In fact, 1T Is
doubtful IL there Is a player outside of
several pitchers who ever brought that
amount.
O'Toole and Marquard brought big fig

first baseman or any sort of an infielder.
1t cannot be figured that the Nationals
Akers, Becker and Cunningham. This
trio has not been of much use to the
team and yet all OF them may improve
when given a chance to work regularly
treal.
The coming Of Gandil means a shift in
the infield. Gandil. Of course. will play
first. but the chances are that Jack
knight will be benched for a time at
least. He has not been going to suit
GrifIith. and he proposes to play Schaefer
on second just as soon as the new first
baseman arrives. schaefer has not
but q few times since he left the De-
.roit team-but he believes that he can
fill the position satisfactorily. Griffith,
of course. wants to keep him on
the team because lie Is VI great uelp III

hand. has not come up to expectations
and Grifiith will keep him idle for a while
at least.

tionals, and IL they take as kindly to him

BY II. c. BYRD.

The high school series may be consid-
erably heightened next year. There is
general dissatisfaction with the scheme
now in vogue, which allows but one game
between any two schools, and it is more
than likely that determined effort will
be made to have each institution play a
series of eight or twelve games with the
others instead Of the four which is now
the case.
Base ball is unlike foot ball, and. when
a school meets another in only one con-
test which must determine a champion
ship it is hardly fair to either team to
have such an important issue staked upon
anything in which the element of chance is
SO prominent. That fact has been recog
nized. and it is almost certainty that
nearly every one of the principals would
concur in the formation of rule tending
to do away with the Objectionable
feature.
The only objection to a longer series
would be that at present difficulty has
been found in securing grounds. and 1t
might be rendered an even harder mat
ter to get fields on which to play II the
series were made three times as long.
Another objection that might be voiced
would be that too much time would be
taken ul in running off so many contests.
Both Of these will probably be disposed
of, though, because it is likely that per-
manent field will be secured for the high
schools before another year is ended
and, as for the other, the schools each
play a great number of practice contests
and consequently take up just as much
time as If they were playing in the reg
ular series. There is scarcely high
school that does not play a schedule OF
between fifteen or twenty games.
Whether or not such a rule will even be
T. L. l~,r< D. 6Ar
il great probability that it will be passed.
Anyhow. it is hard to see what would
stand in tho way of showing such
measure through.
The Manhattan and Southland clubs
will meet this afternoon in the Independ-
ence League, and the contest should be a
good one. Manhattan Is in second place
now. and the Southland aggregation is in
third. Southland will have hard-hittlng
aggregation in the field, which Will be
offset by the faster Manhattan players
Southland is one of the best clubs In the
league when 1t is going right and should
give a good account of itself in almost
any ball game in which amateur teams
are pitted against each other. Mammal
tan has one of the best teams in the
league, and Is inferior to none on the
bases and in the field.
There is no question that il the
high school schedule were heightened IL
would mean a great deal more In the
way Of interest In the games. Although
there might be less interest in some OF
the contests, 1t would be developed as
the season wore on, and 1t would certain
" give more assurance that the best
team would get the championship.
The league between the companies at
Fort Washington is coming along In fine
shape, and is developing some mighty
good base ball. Each company is repre-
scented by q fast team, and is capable OF
putting up a good article of play At
present the nth Company is leading the
league. with Ave games won and none

WOLvERTON LANDS
PITCHER HEATING
Pitched a No-Hit Game Against
the Worcester Club
Saturday.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Pitcher Heating
of the Lawrence New England League
team, who shut out the Worcesters with
out hit or run Saturday, is regarded
as a phenomenon by the major league
scouts. Hence great scramble for his
services, with the New York Americans
nosing out their rivals Heating, COM
ing down to cases, is the property of the
Hilltop club, and he will join Wolverton's
men in September
A scout who has been spying up in New
England as we'll as in other parts of the
country since the season opened glued
his lamps on Heating two weeks ago and
after watching him closely in a couple of
games he hurried to the telegraph Office
and wired President Farrell.
Back came a quick reply to land the
young pitcher at the best possible terms
and the deal was closed. All this was
kept a secret until Saturday. when Keat-
ing, after pitching no-hit game, let the
cat out of the bag. At least he is sup
posed to have whispered to somebody that
he had been purchased by the Highland
ers. for the news was flashed to New
York from Beanville last night. Heating
is described as powerful young man
with natural pitching ability and unusual
intelligence.
keatingS work against Worcester Sat
urday excited favorable comment every
where and probably delighted the own
ers Of the Highlanders more than any,
body. He was as steady as a church
from start to finish. had superb control
and looked like a champion. Heating is
one of several star youngsters who will
join the Highlanders in the fall. Two
crack college players are among the num-
Der and two promising infielders, who
have been snapped up in time to keep
them out of the hands of one of the lead
ing managers. PRESIDENT Farrell is going
and deserves success. He is greatly en-
couraged by the recent work of the High
landers and is confident that they will
soon be close to the top. In the Amer
lean League standing this morning 1t will
be seen that although the Hiumen are i'm
seventh position they are just four games
behind the Washingtons, who are hang
ing on to third place.
