RELIEF FOR COTTON MEN.
Southern Senator'S Oppose New Rail
road Rule.

Headed by practiclly all the SEN
ators from the cotton growing States
a delegation Of congressman Tuesday
called upon the interstate commerce
commission in a body and demanded
that relief be afforded cotton grower
from regulations recently promul-
gated and put into effect by RAILROADS
in the South. These regulations re-
quire that hereafter no bale Of cot
ton shall be received for shipment
without meeting the requirements
of what the railroads term a "stan-
dard" bale. They require that before
a bill of lading shall be given for
shipments of cotton each bale shall
measure 81 inches wide, 54 inches
long, shall have six yards of bagging
on it, this bagging to weigh not less
than two pounds to the yard and the
whole to be securely fastened with
not less than Sos. The ends must
also be headed" up.
The cotton congressman, when
they learned Of what the railroads
were doing, held meeting in
the rooms of the senate committee
on postoffices and postroads and
Senators Smith Of South Carolina,
Overmen and Simmons Of North
Carolina, Vardaman and Williams
of Mississippi and practically the en-
tire membership from all state where
cotton is grown agreed to take the
matter up with the interstate COM
merce commission. An extra charge
of 81 for each bale, which does not
meet the requirements Of the rail-
roads, is proposed to be levied by
them. This the congressman believe
is exorbitant and out of all reason
and inasmuch as practically all ship
ments of cotton are of an Interstate
character, the commission will be
asked to at once take cognizance OF
the situation and make the transpor-
tation companies afford whatever re-
lief may be necessary or proper in
the premises.

ENGLISH RAgAY DISASTER.
Fifteen Killed and Thirty Injured in
Collision Of Fast Trains.

Fifteen persons were killed and so
injured in a collision of two sections
Of the famous London-Scotland EX-
press early Tuesday. The wreck !oc-
Cured on the Midland hallway near
Hawes Junction, in Westmoreland
county. The second section dashed in
to the rear of the first, telescoping
several coaches which burst into
flames.
Many persons we're trapped and if
not killed outright they We're burned
to death. At least. thirty passengers
we're taken from the wrecSage suf-
fering injuries or burns and as many
as ten of these may die.
The two trains had left Car,4sl> for
London at 1885 and 1:4T tuesday
morning, respectively, and the colli-
sion between them occurred fifty
miles south of that place on a high
and 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 immediate
" after several Of the cars caught
fire and many Of the passengers
found it impossible to get out. Res
cuers from farms in the vicinity came
on the scene late to save many of the
passengers.
Nine charred bodies were taken
from the wreck and it vas believed
that several others were still among
the debris. About thirty injured
passengers were sent on special trans
to the Leeds and Carlisle hospitals.
Another disaster occurred near the
same spot on December IS, 1910,
when eight passengers lost their lives
and twenty-five were injured.

"BILL" MINERS CAREER ENDED.
Notorious Robber Dies While Prison
= er on Georgia State Farm.

er on Georgia State Farm.
Death has freed "Bill" Miner, no
torious robber, jail-breaker and "gen-
tleman of fortune, from his last
prison term. His picturesque career,
which included clashes with the laws
of more than a score Of states and
several Canadian provinces, ended
Wednesday night at the Georgia
State prison farm near Milledgeville.
He had been Ill for several months
from gastritis. He was seventy-tlVe
years old.
Miners criminal career began
nearly sixty years ago, he is said to
have left his home in Kentucky be-
fore he was fifteen years old and
gone West. He admitted stage coach
robberies and train hold-ups and was
several times incarcerated for bur-
glarizing banks. He was known
Throughout the West, worked into
North Canada and then invaded the
Eastern States. He escaped many
times from jails and State prisons.
Three years ago he was brought to
the State prison farm at Milledgevllle
for robbing a train near Lula, Ca,
and began a term Of twenty years.
He has since escaped and been recap
tured twice.
For several years Miner was a
member Of the outlaw band led by
Jesse James. His real name, he told
prison authorities few days before
ne died, was George Anderson.

THIEF HAD HIS NERVE
ROBS RAILROAD OF $500 WITH
A CROWD ABOUT.
Puts Arm in Atlantic City Door
and Gets Cash From Counter
and Then Escapes.

A thief who had the daring to
work while crowd of travellers was
about him got $500 from the ticket
Office of the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad Wednesday morning.
He left no clue. The puzzled rail-
road officials refused to discuss the
case, but minor employee told this
story:
The money had been counted out
from the receipts of Sunday and by
the ticket agent, Chapman, to be de-
posted in local bank. A rush of
passengers to buy tickets for the 10
o'clock express for Philadelphia made
it necessary for the agent to leave the
bundle of notes a few minutes and
help his two assistants in stamping
and selling tickets. The bills were
stacked up on the counter on the Ar
kansas avenue side of the station.
Intervening was a ticket-rack,
which blocked off any view of the
counter when the ticket seller and
his assistants we're at the front win
dows. The thief must have calculat-
ed his opportunity closely, for if one
of the agents had been at the window
facing Arkansas avenue the intruder
would have been seen.
The door of the Office had been left
open few minutes before, and the
robber evidently slipped from the
crowd of several hundred iammed
around the Office, opened the door
rifle seized the money with swift
motion unobserved, stuffed the notes
inside his coat and then lost himself
in the throng.
At any rate the hundle Of money
was missing when Chapman returned
to the counter soon after the train
had pulled out. The signal tower
men on the Meadows, mile out
from the station, were asked to halt
and search the train for suspicious
persons. That was done without re-
suit.

wife, where she spent the night, con-
cealed her the next day from her par
and put her on train bound for
Alabama City Ala, where George
Walker, it is said, promised to join
her.
The child attracted the attention
of the railroad conductor, who per-
suaded her to return home. The par
ents and put her on train bound for
conducting a vigorous serch when
the little girl returned. Before her
departure she had left a note stating
that she was to marry in a short time
and 60 to Oklahoma to live. George
Walker, the alleged instigator Of the
crime, is a married man. William
Walker is being held as an accessory.

WILL RESIGN SOON.
Cochran to Quit as United States
District Attorney.

District Attorney.
Ernest F. Cochran, for eight years
district attorney for South Carolina,
will tender his resignation to PTesi-
dent Wilson in the next few days, to
become effective at some time to be
DESIGNATED by the President. The
reason given for Mr.. Cochran's deci-
sion to retire is that conditions have
arisen which have caused the present
Administration to consider it desir-
able to make some changes in the
Federal Offices in South Carolina, and
he does not care to stand in the way
of the Administrations plans. His
term Of Office does not expire until
February 10, 1914.
Mr.. Cochran was appointed assist
ant district attorney by President
Harrison, and later he was appointed
district attorney By President Mckin-
lev. He served through the admin
istration of Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft. It is his plan. after his retire
ment. to devote ali Of his time to his
law practice in Anderson. Mr.. Coch-
ran probably had a larged experience
in the work of the district attorneys
office of South Carolina than any Of
his predecessors. He has made an
enviable reputation and the govern
ment will lose the official services of
a good servant when he retires from
the Office.
