undertaking rooms in Corning and the
others injured were carried to the Corn
| ing City Hospital, where a large corps Of
doctors and nurses worked rapidly and
efficiently. All the physicians in the
city were summoned, and many min
listers and priests were called to ad-
minister last sacraments and receive
messages for relatives and friends from

Most of the bodies found were badly

the terrific driving power Of schroeder's
engine as it crashed through passenger

and it was this train that afterward
aided IN removing the dead and injured.
Hospital Overorowded.
At the Corning Hospital. which has
accommodations for only forty patients,
some Of the injured had to lie on the
floors until the physicians could reach
them and give them necessary atten-
ton
The Rev. Harold Stanley Stewart. a
Baptist clergyman, and the Rev. NAL
colin Johnston, an Episcopalian rector,
established a bureau of information at
the hospital, and secured the names Of
all the injured who were able to talk or
who could be otherwise identified. They
also answered telephone calls and sent
kilograms to the relatives of victims.
Those who visited the scene Of the
wreck before the hospital forces had had
time to finish the work Of removal wit
messed many scenes Of horror. One man
on the ground. only 10 draw back, ashen
! faced. as his act revealed the body Of a
baby only a few months old. At late
hour the child had not been identified.
The Rev. John T. Cassidy, Catholic
priest was one of the early arrivals at
! the wreck. He ministered t. the injured
and performed the last rites Of the
Church for those about TO die Once he
halted a long line Of automobiles and
several wagons bound for the morgue
while he performed the rites over the
body Of little girl which lay across the
highway. The automoblists and the by
ISLANDERS stood about with bowed heads.
Citizens Of Corning opened their homes
to tho injured who could not find ac-
commoda lions at the hospitals or whose
! injuries were too slight to warrant their
crowding other persons from the institu-
lions.
Workmen at the scene of the wreck
picked up this afternoon a human skull
which was entirely devoid Of marks
which would indicate whether it came
| from a man or a woman.

Although Schroeder, engineer Of the

From the
ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE
100 Years Ago
"TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND
BODY OF THE TIME HIS
FORM AND PRESSURE"

In the debates of the Virginia Con-
vention, on the adoption of the Con-
stitutiok of the United States, we
find the following predictions made
by Col. Geo. Mason, on the subject
of the reelection of the president
in answer to a gentleman who main
tanned that if the president miscon-
Quoted himself, and he be not i'm
pcachable, he may be displaced at the
end of four years. Mr.. Mason says:
at may be said that new election
will remove him and place another
in his stead. If we judge from the
experience of all other countries, and
even our own, we may conclude that
as the president of the United States
may be reelected, so he will; the
president will be elected time after
time-he will be continued in office
for life. If we wish to change him,
the great powers in Europe will not
allow u.s." Again-"Will not the
great powers of Europe, as France
and Great Britain, be interested in
having friend in the President of
the United States; and will they not
be more intcrestcd?" etc.
Again-'It will moreover be difficult
TO know whether he receives cmolu-
ments from foreign powers or not.
The electors who arc to meet in each
state to vote for him may be easily
Influenced, &c.
Now has not this very case occur
cd? The people Of the United States
wish to change their president for
divers reasons, and to elect another
without distinction of party, but
France will not let them; she is in
terestcd in having friend in the
President of the United States, be-
cause that president is a member OF
Bonapartc's Legion of Honor, and his
successor may not be.

ret about this, although the fact was
not advertised or proclaimed from the
housetops in an effort to force action
which would be based largely on dol
lars and cents.
But regardless of everything, re-
gardless of the unrest in business, re-
CARELESS of the loss of revenue and
the possibility of higher taxes, Alex
andria people rejoice that the state
is to have peace for two years at
least.
Had the Senate concurred with the
House many wholesale dealers in AL
exandria would have moved immedl-
ately to Washington and Baltimore
in order to handle their business
from those points. They were not
going to wait for the Statewide ell
cction. They realize that when 27,oO
done had the bill provided for the
for an election it would be called,
though they doubted if this could be
done had the bill provided for the
signatures of one-fourth of the quail
fed voters in Virginia.

ROOSENELT'S DUPLlCITI.

Despite disclaimers from Oyster
Bay documentary evidence is i'll cX-
istcnce demonstrating that Theodore
Roosevelt gave assurance to Secretary
Of War StimSon and Secretary of the
Navy Meyer that he would not be a
candidate for the Presidential! nomi-
nation this year in opposition to Mr..
Taft. The evidence is in the form OF
Il letter written by Col. Roosevelt UNI
der date Of June u, 1911, of which
the following is extracted:
81 have expressed myself perfectly
freely to large number Of men in
this matter, always to the same cf-
feet; telling you, for instance, person
ally, and those who we're with you at
lunch at my house, and telling Clifford
Pinchot, jim Garfield, and Congress-
man Madison, and Billy Loeb, and
Secretary Meyer, and Secretary Slim
son, all alike, just exactly what have
said, always that would not be a
candidate in 1912 myself, and that !
had no intention of taking any part
in the nomination for or against any
candidate Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
AS day by day goes by, the dupllci-
ty of Roosevelt becomes more appar-
cnt, and proves that he is absolutely
untitled to again occupy the Prcslden-
tial chair.

GREAT FIGHT Is OVER.

While il Has been generally con-
ccdcd that the Jordan enabling act
would be defeated when it came TO a
final vote in the senate, the result
Saturday brought Il sigh of relief III
Alexandria. regardless as to how poo
pic stood on the question. What
everybody dreaded most OF al! was Il
prohibition campaign with its attend
ant bitterness. strife and excitement.
The opinion has always prevailed
here that in Il local option election in
Alexandria the prohibiLioniSts would
meet defeat Much OF the state al
ready is dry. and if Statewide pro-
hibiticn had to come Richmond more
preferred prohibition by Legislative
enactment. rather than by vote Of
the whole people. This, it was ar
yucd, would diSpcl much of tho bit
lcrncss, and it would settle the issue
finally and quickly.
Already there is talk OF another
fight two years hence and ii is pre-
,!ictcd that The issue will be sharply
raised in the election for the mem
hcrs of the House Of Delegates, but
The Senate, which Saturday refused
to accept the referendum, is elected
for four years. and the same mem
hcrs will be here in service in l9ll.
Pending the discussion in the Cen
cral Assembly, many big projects in
the state were held up until the Sen
Az had spoken. There was n" scr

Corporations today no longer hire law yers to get them out of trouble. They hire lawyers by the year to keep them out of trouble. The lawyers who now receive the highest fees are those who do not fight their battles In court but who keep their clients out of court
 After awhile individuals VIII try to keep out of court too, and win pay blcser fees for prevention than for cure. Probably 1t Is sn congregation to say that % per cent of the lidgants should consult doctor instead of a lawyer. but it Is certain that most hti- Cants need a doctor when they get the lawyers blll, anyhow, so they might as well consult the family physician ia the first place, It he Is a man of common sense he win advise his patient to set tie his grievances outside ot court Washington Post
