TO GIVE FROST WARNINGS

Boston, Oct. 20.-The scientific pro,
lection of the New England farming
districts from frost is soon to be at
tempted, when experiments being
made by Prof. Alexander McAdie of
Harvard are finished.
Already he has saved millions of
dollars worth of crops from destruc-
ton. Recently, in California, he pro-
tected, scientifically, millions of In
vestments in fruit.
Briefly, this Is what Professor Nc
Adie hopes to do in his campaign
against frost:
The farmer may go to bed with the
assurance that in the morning his
crops will not be withered.
He will be told in advance when to
expect frost and will act in accord
ance with that information.
Frosts will be trailed; word will be
wired ahead by telegraph and when
that chilly member of the element
family arrives it will find crops full
ly protected.

CABLE SAVES MANY LIVES
Prevents Overturning Of Car-Fifteen
Are Injured in the
Wreck

st. Louis, Oct. 21.-Fifteen persons
we're injured, two perhaps fatally,
when a midnight special of the Chi
cago & Alton railroad bound from
Chicago to st. Louis, was wrecked at
Alton, ILL.,, 13 miles east of here.
The lives Of oo other passengers, in
all probability, were saved by a steel
cable bracing a telegraph pole which
caught the chair car and prevented it
from o~verturning. The car was left
standing on end and all it's occupants
were hurled in a a to the bottom.
The most seriously injured are:
Mrs. Nora Clark, Springfield, Mo-, and
Mrs. Joseph Lowe, Jr., New York City.
DIR. August G. Haerpher and his
~son-in-law, DR.. Calvin e. Brown, Of
Chicago. were the heroes Of the occa-
sion. Unmindful of their own cuts
and bruises they walked up and down

v. HuERTA MAY NOW RESIGN
JOHN LIND REPORTS PROVISION.
AL PRESIDENT SHOWS SIGNS.
United States May Soon Face the
Question of Recognizing His
Successor.

Washington, Oct. 20.-John Lind,
President Wilson's personal represen.
tative In Mexico, has reported from
Vera Cruz indications of General
Huerta's intention to resign the pro.
~visional presidency.
Mr.. Lind has advised the president
that If the information that has come
TO him is reliable, the United States
may be called upon indirectly TO indi.
cate whether it will recognize, or open
negotiations with Huerta's successor
Apparently various names are being
suggested and acceptability to the
American government, it S thought,
might influence the final choice.
From Mr., Lind's report there arose
rumors of fresh negotiations with the
Huerta government by the United
States, but at the White House and
state department it was declared com.
munication had not been resumed.
Speeches in congress and other sug-
gestions for an armed p~rotectorate
over Mexico in conjunction with other
nations were met by high administra-
lioh ohiSidlS Will Iuc uGClEI GtlOuS ina

eighty of Mexico.
1t was declared by those who know
President Wilson's attitude on these
questions that no matter what emer-
gency may arise, even though drastic
measures are eventually required to
compose the situation in Mexico, I'M
der no circumstances will the pres
ent administration at Washington in
terfere in any way with the sover-
eign or territorial rights of Mexico.
Diplomats Urge Intervention.
Mexico City.-"The United States
must act to put an end to the impos-
sible conditions constituting a daily
menace to the lives Of the national
titles" This was the opinion ex.
pressed by several of the diplomatic
representatives who assembled for an
informal conference in the German le-
cation here: Among those who at
tended were the ministers of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Spain,
Austria and Norway.

STUNNED; MAY BE SUICIDE
Is Feared She Has Ended Her
Life as Consequence.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-The ostracism O,
Marie Collier by her former friends
who feared her because she had lived
as a nurse in a leper colony in Ira.
cadie, N. b., is feared by friends to
have caused Miss Collier to end her
life. The police began search for
the former nurse who disappeared
Friday after leaving two notes, one
to the woman with whom she made
her home and one to a former &C.
quaintance.
Miss Collier returned here a month
ago when her health failed. She was
stunned by her former friends and
had difficulty in finding a room where
she would be permitted to stay when
her history as a leper nurse was
learned. She then demanded that ex
animation be given her by the Chi
cage Board of Health and specialists
who said they could find no trace
of leprosy.

VOLTURN0 CREW DEFENDED
CAPTAIN DENIES THAT HIS MEN

Reaches New York on Kroonland and
Tells Sorry of Sea Tragedy
Other Things Refuted.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Francis Inch,
the boyish-looking Briton who COM
manded the burned steamer Volturno,
came to port, bringing with him 81
survivors, passengers and crew of his
~ill-starred ship. His story of the dis
aster in which 1876 lives were lost, had
preceded him by wireless, but in a
cabin on Kroonland, which brought
him here, Inch told his tale in simply
phrased and modestly spoken detail
that described mor wildly than the
wireless could picture the panorama
of the Volturnos loss and the rescue
of more than 500 of those she had on
board.
Cowardice, there was none on the
V~olturno, either among officers or
crew, Inch said. There was no rush
Of seamen which made it necessary
for him to warn them back with his
revolver. His revolver was in a draw

ship, and no one on board drew a re-
volver. These statements he intended
should refute the stories told by steer
age passengers who arrived yesterday
on the Grosser Kurfuerst.

Tending his own officers and men said
he had no criticism to make of the
