ADVANCE OF ARMY
OFFICERS OPPOSED

washington, D. c., July 19.-Oppo-
sition has developed in the senate to
the confirmation Of Clarence r. Ed
wards as brigadier general and w. w.
Wotherspoon as major general in the
army.
It is understood that in the case Of
General Edwards who until recently
was chief of the bureau of insular af-
fairs many senators believe he has
had too little experience in the line Of
the army, while in the case Of General
Wotherspoon objection is that his ad-
vancement to a major generalship
would carry him over the heads of
several other officers.

CLOTHES PRICES
WILL BE ADVANCED
Falling OF In Domestic Wool Clip
and Advances by Mil Owners
Two Of the Causes.

New York, July 19.-The price Of
clothes is going to be advanced next
year. This increased cost Is clearly
indicated, merchants say today. by the
prices named by leading producers Of
cloth who have lifted the prices for
the spring of 1913 season from 71a
cents to 20 cents q yard above those
which prevailed last year when the
values for the past spring season were
announced.
Cloth prices are higher for the next
spring season, agents say. because Of
conditions over which the manufacture
ers have no control They say that
the most important element that
brought about the advance is that the
domestic wool clip this year is about
thirty million pounds smaller than a
year ago. The price Of wool has also
gone up abroad while mill owners say
that the high scale OF wages and the
shorter working hours will also have
their effect on the increased price Of
cloth.

MISUNDERSTANDING

Wilcox, who was on duty In the signal
tower at Western Springs last Sunday
when a fast mail train crashed into the
rear OF, the Overland Express OF the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad,
killing thirteen persons and in1uring
more than a score of passengers, ad-
mitted, while testifying at the
coroners inquest over the victims that
q misunderstanding over a telephone
message might in part have been re-
sponsible for the wreck.
She said she received a telephone
message from Congress Park just
prior to the accident. She understood
the message to mean for her to hold
passenger train No. until q freight
train had finished switching ahead.
Then it developed she tried to stop
No. 4 but said it ran past the depot.
She said that the person who tele-
,poned merely wanted her to INFORM
Congress Park when train No. 4
passed the tower.
Mrs. Wilcox said she then decided
she should stop No. 2. q passenger
train, which, she said, ran by the sig
nal anu 6tOppSU oCO l0Ct DCyOAN 'AS
tower Ten minutes later the mail
train, No. 8, shot past the block and
crashed into train No. 2.
Woman Appears Calm.
She admitted that if she had not
misunderstood the telephone message
she would not have stopped train No.
2 and the accident probably would not
have occurred. Mrs. Wilcox appeared
calm while giving her version OF the
wreck, and repeated several times the
statement that she did not think she
had done anything wrong.
Coroner Hoffman, members OF the
jury and representatives Of the inter-
state commerce commission and the IL
linois railroad and warehouse commits
sion found 1t difficult to obtain direct
answers to questions on several oc-
casions. The witness frequently argued
with her interrogators and contradict
ed some Of the testimony previously
given. She may be recalled. A num-
Der of the railroad trainmen were ex-
amined before adjournment was taken
