PATHETIC SCENES
 |NPAR|S WRECK

Paris, May 19-The death to- day of two of the persons in- jured in a railway collision last night near the Care Du Nord. brings the total number of victims up to 13 killed. The list of injured numbers 45.
 The collision occurred on the Northern railway at Marcadet Ridge, between a suburban train from Pontoise and a train from Montsoulte. The accident which appears to have been due to a defective switch, was marked by unusual horrors. Among the victims was a wedding party. The groom's head was completely severed before the eyes of his bride of an hour, both of whose legs were fractured
 One of the survivors went to the as- sstance of woman, but she was so bad ly mutilated that she could not be re- moved from the wreckage.

Orpheum-Yaudeyille

One of the most wonderful acts in pr. Mac Donald. the emil ncnt electrician, will be featured this week at the Orpheum. His control over the dangerous fluid that heats, lights and operates the machinery of the s;orld is said to be wonderful. He in- troduces an electric chair, the dupli- cate of those used in New York and Virginia, and uses a pretty young woman as the subject. The exact op- eration of the chair can be seen. There are four other excellent acts. Swor and Mack, one of the best blackface teams in vaudeville; Gertrude Dudley and company; Eddie Barto and Flor ence Clark, and Dennis brothers.

STREET CAR MEN
 FOUND MURDERED

Jacksonville, Fla, May 19.--The dead bodies of Motorman R. F. Sparkman and Conductor T. c. Smith lying in the road on Talleyrand avenue about 75 yards from their car were found by party of auto mobilists early today. Both men had been shot through the head and near sparkman's body was the motor control. One theory Is that the men had trou- ble with a passenger on their car and that Sparkman had grabbed up his con- troi handle to defend himself.
 The murderers left absolutely no clue. Whether the murder was committed by passenger on the car or by parties who waylaid the car crew. is problematic. The authorities have been as yet unable to apprehend the guilty parties.

NEGRO CONSPIRACY
 IN CUBA DISCOVERED

Havana, May 19.--According to the newspaper Ultima flora. a negro con- spiracy has heen discovered at Sagua La Grande. the apparent intention be- ing to rise in arms against the gov ernment. Five negroes have been ar rested and warrants have been issued for several more.
 The seriousness of the movement Is doubtful. The government is reticent, and 1t is possible that the arrests are merely the result of infraction of law which prohibits political meeting on racial lines.

a players protective association was dis cussed.
 Late tonight President Johnson, in discussing the status of the striking Detroit players, said:
 "Everyone of the striking players has automatically suspended himself and made himself ineligible to compete in a game under organized baseball control until he is reinstated by the national commission. By refusing to play a scheduled game all these play CTS have vitiated a clause in their con- tract which makes them liable to fine not only by the Detroit club but also by the national commission.
 The Detroit club will not appear on the field again until I am assured that it has team of competent play CTS who can compete successfully with other teams of the league. There will be no more farces in the American league
 "The standing of the players must first be threshed out by Mir. Navin. Then their status will reach me. As mem- Der of the national commission I will tinue to play ball in the American league.
 q appreciate the action of President Shibe and Manager Mack of the Ath- letics in postponing tomorrow's game. It will be played later in the season. probably on Detroits second visit to Philadelphia.
 If the strike is not settled defl- nitely by Tuesday it is probable that the officials of the Washington club will agree to a postponement. It will be a compliment if they do.
 q had a very enjoyable two hours talk with Jennings. We discussed the matter fully, but took no action or discussed any procedure. We are walt ing for MT. Navin.
 Milwaukee, May 19.-A Milwaukee syndicate tonight wired the striking Detroit baseball team, headed by " Cobb asking the team to set price on their services. The syndicate wishes to enter team in the new United States league, having had an option on a franchise since the league was formed.

 "I appeal to all republicans to say whether a man who assumes this at titude does not forfeit his claim to any right to become a candidate in a republican convention?
