Fifteen DIE IN
ENGLISH WRECK
Many Burn to Death as Sleep
ing Cars in Collision
Catch Fire.

KIRKBY- STEPHEN, County of
Westmoreiand England, Sept. e.
Fifteen persons are believed to have
been killed and thirty persons in
iured in a collision of two sections
of the famous London-S Scotland ex-
press. early today.
Official reports accounted for nine
dead. while correspondents on the
spot reported that the fatalities num-
bered fifteen.
The wreck occurred on the Midland
railway, near Hawes Junction, the
two sections being south bound for
London. The second section dashed
into the rear of the first, telescoping
several coaches. which burst into
flames.
Many persons were trapped. and If
not killed outright, they were burned
to death. At least thirty passengers
were taken from the wreckage suffer-
ing injuries or burns, and as many as
ten of these may die.
The two trains had left Carlisle for
London at 1:35 and al this morning,
respectively, and the collision be-
tween them occurred fifty miles south
of that place. on a nlgn ana lonely
moor.
The first section of the train had
stopped to get up steam for sharp
upgrade, when the second section
dashed into the rear. piling up the
sleeping cars. which were crowded
with passengers.
Almost Immediately afterward sew
eral of the cars caught fire and many
of the passengers found it impossi-
BILE to get out. Rescuers from farms
in the vicinity came to the scene
too late to save many of the passen-
gers.
Nine charred bodies were taken
from the wreck and it was believed
that several others were still among
the debris. About thirty injured pas
sengers were sent on special trains
to the Leeds and Carlisle hospitals.
Another disaster occurred near the
same spot on December 26. 1910, when
eight passengers lost their lives and
twenty-f1y were injured.

SCHOOL OPENING
TO BRING TEST OF
COMPULSORY LAW
Educators Watch for Results,
Now That Parents Must
Prove Children's Ages.
IFrom a stan Correspondence

TRENTON, N. T., Sept. with
the opening of the public schools Of
the state, the operation of the new
compulsory school law will have its
first test. The new law reduces the
age limit for children to attend school
from IT to Is years.
This was done in response to a ma
tional association seeking to make the
child labor laws of the nation uniform.
Assistant Commissioner of Educa-
ton J. Brognard Belts today said he
thought the new law would more sue
eessfuliy meet the conditions looking
to uniformity throughout the country
in uniform school laws.
New Law Very Specific.
Mr.. Belts says the law is more spe-
cific in its provisions and expressly
stipulates punishment for violations
of the new law. Under the old COM
pulsory education law 1t was neces-
sary for the Board of Education to
prove the age of a child who was al
legged to have been violating the law
by not attending school. The burden
of proof IN sustaining the age of a
child is now upon the parent or guar
dian of the child.
Mr.. Belts said THE State Board
of Education, after thoroughly test
ing the old compulsory law, concluded
it was ambiguous and almost i'm
practicable of execution. Complaints
of violations of the old law could be
made before a justice of the peace.
In many instances these officers were
on intimate terms with the towns
people and refused to prosecute a case
of delinquency.
Method OF Procedure.
1.-THE new law provides that the chill
dren between the ages of and 10
years must attend school, and failure
to do so upon the part of the child
is considered grounds of charge OF
Juvenile delinquency.
"A complaint may be made before
the Common Pleas Court or recorder
of a city, who may place the child
in. a special grade school for correc-
tion. Compulsory truant officers are
also provided. Parents or guardians
of children who neglect to comply
with the law are subject to a fine OF
IS for the first offense and $25 for
each subsequent offense.'

Orange Maj. III
Wrecked Train

Richard F. Decker, reported among
the injured in the New Haven wreck
today, is son Of Charles M. Deck
er, head of C. NJ. Decker & Broth
ers, wholesome grocers in the
Oranges, and is assistant treasurer of
the concern. His home is at II Fern
wood avenue, Summit, where he re-
sides with his wife.
He had been spending vacation of
three weeks In the Maine woods, ac-
companied by his wife. Mr.. Decker,
sr., said today he did not believe Mrs.
Decker was on the train with his son.
as it was her intention to visit friends
in Boston at the expiration of the
Maine trip.
Mr. Decker, sr., did not know of the
accident until informed by reporter
for the Evening Star, and at once
made arrangements to find out how
badly his son was injured. He had
been unable to get any more definite
information than that given in the
early press dispatch which included
his son In the list of injured without
giving any details.

lor of the North Carolina, at the Mar.
ket street depot. Thinking that hs
would do them a good turn he had
all the men get into the truck and
tried to get lodging for them in 8
house at Canal and Mulberry streets
but upon the refusal of the proprietor
to take the men in he visited another
lodging house in Commerce street
where lodgings were again refused.
The chauffeur then decided to take
the men to the First precinct station
house. and it was while enroute there
that the accident occurred as the
machine was turning into Halsey
street from Branford place.
Lewis was standing in the truck
over one of his companions, who was
unconscious, and as the wheels struck
hole in the pavement he was hurled
to the pavement, and one of the
wheels of the four-ton vehicle passed
over his body, killing him instantly
From the records of the Naval Hos

fed by officials at the navy yard that
representatives would care for the re-
mains of the dead man.

AVIATOR REPEATS
AIR SOMERSAULT
French Filler Proves His Thrill
ing Feat Was Not a
"FIuke."

VERSAILLES. France, Sept a.
The thrilling maneuver of turning a
somersault in the air with an aero
plane flying at rapid speed was re-
peated today by the French aviator,
Pegoud, over the aerodrome at Buc,
near here, with perfect success.
Pegoud had promised that his per-
formance at Juvisy yesterday was not
the result of an accident, but was
a proof of proper control and also OF
the stability of the aeroplane. He
carried out the daring feat with ap-
parent ease again today in the pres
ence of officers of the French army
flying corps, about 100 military and
civilian aviators and a large assem-
blage of the general public.
A dense fog had settled over the
district this morning and this de-
layed Pegoud's ascent for three hours
and a half. Then the sun burst
through and cleared away the mist.
Pegoud ran his aeroplane into the
centre of the field. He then took his
seat at the motor and rose in a
spiral to a height of 5000 feet. There
he turned his aeroplane into a verti-
cal position with its tail upward and
dove down toward the earth like an
arrow. When he had descended TO
an altitude of 1.50o feet he began
with his machine to describe vast
letter "s.''
The wheels of the aeroplane We're
clearly visible in the middle of the
'.Se sticking upward. while Pegoud
could be seen hanging with his mead
down. The aviator sailed Wong in
this position for about fifty seconds.
Then his craft, with great sweep
ing curve came again into norizon-
tai position, this time with the
aviator head upward The silence
which hitherto had been disturbed
only by the whir of the motor. was
broken by a tremendous cheer from
the crowd. Meanwhile Pegoud spiraled
to earth. He had been IN the air
only ten minutes altogethcr.
