Only Criminal Case Is That

Aside from the trial OF Clarence
Parker for the murder OF Irwin White
the criminal docket of the Wayne cir

that Parker will be tried in Newcastle.
The defendant appears to be more
worried about the outcome of the case
than he was formerly and realizes that
he faces a serious charge. He assoc

WASHINGTON. March 4.-In
the presence of thousands of his
fellow .countrymen, and with
barred head and uplifted hand,
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey,
at 80 o'clock today took oath
as President of United States
for the ensuing four years. He
is the twenty-eighth in the presi-
dental line, and the eighth ma
tive of Virginia to hold that Of
flee. Chief Justice of the United
States, Edward Douglass White,
administered the oath on a
raised platform at the east side
of the Capitol.
Just a few minutes before this
simple, but impressive ceremony
was enacted, Thomas Riley Mar
shall, of Indiana, was formally
inducted into office as Vice Pres
ident of the United States, for a
similar term, in the Senate
Chamber. The President pro
tenn of the Senate administered
the vice-presidential oath to Mr..
Marshall.
Ceremonies Were Brief.
A little more than one hours time
covered the entire formality, including
the delivery of the inaugural address
of the President, a brief speech by the
incoming vice president and the ad-
ministration of the oath to the newly
elected senators. The day was ideal
for the ceremony, the temperature
lowering around 40 degrees. A veil of
light clouds partly hid the sun from
view and protected the crowds from
it's glare. There were about 10000
people in the great grandstand at the
east portico of the capitol, before
which Wilson took the oath of office.
More than 1000 others stood in the
plaza. Mr.. Wilson's appearance on
the small platform at the front of the
main grandstand was the signal for a
rousing cheer, the crowd rising to its
feet, human sea of fluttering hand
kerchiefs and waving flags. He was
cheered again and again during his in
duction into office and the delivery of
his speech.

Eighteen of Forty-Nine Cars
Piled Into Greek Bottom
At Elkhorn Station South
of Richmond.
TWO MEN INJURED;
TRAFFIC TIED UP
Accident Caused BY Broken
Flange-Will Be At Least
A Week Before Bridge Can
Be Constructed.

Eighteen box cars, loaded with coal,
lumber and pig iron, crashed through
the trestle on the G. & O. at the Elk
horn pumping station. three and one
half miles south of Richmond about s
O'Clock this morning. One man on
the train was injured and a member
of the wrecking crew was hurt. Traffic
on the road south of Richmond will be
tied up for more than a week, accord
ing to Trainmaster J. A. Barker.
There were forty-seven loaded cars
and two empty cars in the train which
was made up at the Boston yards. The
accident was due to broken f1ange,
on one of the cars, throwing the
trucks of the car off the track. The
fiange was broken about 800 feet from
the trestle but this was not noticed
by any of the trains crew
When the defective car struck the
trestle works the car bumped the ties
with such force as to break the bolts,
causing other cars to jump the track.
The trestle broke and car after car
piled up in the creek bottom, about
thirty-five feet below.
Escape From Death.
Roscoe Broadus, colored, living at
116 South A street, and who is en-
ployed at night in the Boston G. & o.
yards had miraculous escape from
death. Broadus was riding on top of
a coal car. The car was piled over
the trestle and other cars fell upon
it. Broadus was knocked unconscious

cars. He f1oated to small falls
few feet from the debris, where he re-
gained consciousness.
Broadus was brought to this city
Immediately and medical aid summon
ed. 1t was found that he suffered
greatly from exposure. His left arm
was badly sprained and bones in his
left hand were broken. He was
otherwise injured but it is not known
whether he sustained internal injuries
or not.
Three Tramps Missing.
Another odd incident of the accident
was that six tramps boarded one of
the cars at Boston. The car in which
they were riding was one of those
which was pulled through the trestle.
Three Of these men were seen to
emerge from under the debris but they
declared that they did not know where
their three companions We're. Some
declared that the other three men
must have been killed, but this is
strongly doubted by members of the
wrecking crew. However, they admit
ted that such could be the case as it
was a physical impossibility to make
detailed investigation.
Taken to Hospital.
August Smalilo, Ala North Third
street, an Italian member of the local
wrecking crew, was injured while at
work assisting in the pulling of a car
on the track. In some manner a

To put in the morning we went to

out of doors.
Someone was whistling merrily,

go over to the shack for dinner.

built one over the other, but the men
gave me the welcome of comrade.
Perhaps l did not appreciate it
then as 1 do now. Today the greatest
JOY 1 know is to have some poor
down-trodden victim of capitalistic
greed take me by the hand and give
me a right to comradeship.
The young fellow did not talk
much. He had a fine, frank face, but
whatever had led him into a life of
wandering he did not care to tell. He
did laughingly assure me that he had
baked the biscuits that were then be-
ing kept warm under a blanket on
the bed, and he did ask me how l.
liked the tablecloth, which was a
sheet off the bed washed and dried
that morning, and he did say he
hoped l would like the egg corn
starch pudding for which he had
robbed hen Toost.
And the old man proudly displayed,
the mammoth shad he had caught
and planked for me.
The biscuits were hard, the pud-
ding was made of water instead of
milk, but 1 enjoyed that meal as 1
don't think 1 have ever enjoyed one
since.
And through it all ran the reminis-
cences of the older hobo. He had
worked in a machine shop in his
younger days, but he got too old.

that Gov. Sulzer and his counsel were

who have appeared for him in court.
We will be on hand Monday and, in

WILSON FAv0RS DIVISION.
ENDORSES PLAN FOR Dividing
SOUTH CAROLINA INTO TWO
DISTRICTS.
President is Opposed to Haste, How.
ever, and Thinks That Bill Should
Wait Until Regular Session of Con.
gress-Representatives Work for
Measures Passage.

Washington, Oct. 2.-It became
known here today that President
Wilson is quite anxious to have the
bill introduced by Representative AK.
en- few days ago providing for the
creation of another judicial district in
South Carolina, with additional court
officials, or one similar to it, passed at
an early date. The matter has gone
so far that Representative Clayton,
chairman of tt house judiciary COM
mittee, passei matter over to At
torney Gem : lcReynolds and the
latter has - his thorough approv-
al to the I" Mr.. McReynolds went
deeply all the bills that have
been > a on this subject, digested
they Afully. and ascertained from
m $ Of congress and others who
= y position to know what the
ms were for the failure OF these
- IS to pass in years gone by. That
having been done, according to what
was learned here today, the situation
was presented to tfe president and he
thinks that it might be well to have
the new district authorized, but he, 1t
is said, is opposed to providing for
such authorization in one Of the
emergency bills, as is often done.
The suggestion was made that the
matter be cared for in one of the
emergency bills, or as is known here,
one of the deficiency" bills but this
plan did not meet with the presidents
approval. He thinks that the measure
should take it, regular course when
the next session of congress begins in
December, and this is what will likely
be done.
The three members of the house
who are most directly interested In
the result of the proposed action are
Representatives Aiken, johnson and
Byrnss Repre- shtatiye Afixen and
Ryrnes are most enthusiastic concern-.
ing the bill. A part OF Mr.. Bryne's
district, all Mr.. Johnson's and all Mr..
Aiken's would be included I'm the new
western district and it is said that
they are receiving many letters and
kilograms from lawyers and other in
terested parties in upper South Caro-
lima encouraging their efforts
The appointment of an additional
district attorney and marshal with
other court officials and the holding
OF courts in several of the largest
towns which would be included in the
new western district would add a
stimulus to federal matters in that
part Of the State and besides creating
these new offices the plan would mean
that the holding Of these additional
courts would naturally cause much
money to be spent one way and an
other in those towns. For all of these
reasons up-country people are help
ing to push the matter along and
the prospects are good for the pas
sage of the bill at the next session.
