Prevents OVerturnng of Car-Fifteen
Are Injured in the
Wreck

st. Louis, Oct. 21.-Fifteen persons
were 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 So other passengers, in
all probability, were saved by steel
cable bracing a telegraph pole which
caught the chair car and prevented it
from overturning. The car was left
standing on end and all its occupants
were hurled in mass to the bottom.
The most seriously injured are:
Mrs. Nora Clark, Springfield, Mo-, and
Mrs. Joseph Lowe, Jr., New York City
Dr. 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
the wreckage rendering aid to the in
iured.

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 Meade 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.

STUNNED; MAY BE SUICIDE
Friends Ostracise Leper Nurse and II
Is Feared She Has Ended Her
Life as Consequence.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-The ostracism Of
Marie Collier by her former friends
who feared her because she had lived
as nurse in 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
cago Board of Health and specialists
who said they could find no trace
of leprosy.

Old Gowns Made Over.

Wonders can be worked by doing
over old frocks with black net dra-
peries. The bodice Of an old satin
foundation can be treated to simple
fichu of the net with hanging angel
sleeve, and the skirt hung with
straight lengths gathered in slightly
under the belt, with an opening at the
middle front that slants off toward the
back.
At the hem of the gown the net Is
laid with some fullness around the
skirt. A charming French gown in
which this idea was elaborated in
many ways had a foundation Of change
able mauve and yellow silk with
mauve net as covering, and cluster
of wistaria on a long train to catch
down some of the drapery. Yellow
satin with black covering and sim
pie rhinestone trimming is also good.

v. HUERTA MAY NOW RESIGN
JOHN LIND REPORTS PROVISiOw
AL PRESIDENT SHOWS signs.
United States May Soon Face eve
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 Huertas successor
Apparently various names are beina
suggested and acceptability to the
American government, it thought
might influence the final choice.
From Mr., Lind's report there arose
rumors of fresh negotiations with tht
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 protectcrata
over Mexico in conjunction with ethe,
nations were met by high admin!stra
ton officials with the declarations that
such an act would impair the sover
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 puG 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 lie
cation here. Among those who ats
tended were the ministers Of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Spain,
Austria and Norway.

VOLTURNO CREW DEFENDED
CAPTAIN DENIES THAT HIS MEN
SHOWED COWARDICE.
Reaches New York on KroonIand and
Tells Sorry of Sea Tragedy
Other Things Refuted.

New York, Oct. 18.-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 more 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
Volturno, 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
er in his cabin and it burned with the
ship, and no one on board drew re-
volver. These statements he intended
should refute the stories told by steer
on the. Grosser Kurfuerst
The Volturnos master, besides de-
Tending his own officers and men said
he had no criticism to make of the
tactics of any of the boats that stood
by.
Inch denied reports of rotting tackle
and fire hose and of unsafe lifeboats,
all of which were in good condition
he said. He counted only three ex-
plosions, the last one wreckng wheel
and compass so that a hand-gear had
to be rugged up.
Inch denied stories of steerage pas
sengerS that women were swept over
board and babies were trampled upon
while being rescued by the Grosser
Kurfuerst's first boat that came in re-
spouse to Lloyd's errand. Officers
urged men and women to jump over
board, for the lifeboat could not get
near enough for them to be lowered
into it. None dared to Jump.

Airman's Dream.

M. Esnault, Pelterie, one of the
best-known French aviation experts,
is Of opinion that the day will come
when communication between the
earth and the moon and stars will be
possible in aeroplanes.
Providing that radium is one day
found in larger quantities and that
some way of Harvesting its energies
is discovered by scientists, he calcu-
lates that an aeroplane weighing
ton should be able to cover the 1885,
500 miles which separate the earth
and the moon in three hours and five
minutes.
About 500 pounds of radium would
be necessary to provide the fuel for
the journey. At the current price
about 1O,OOO,OOO,OOO worth would be-
required.
Trips to certain of the stars he
considers equally practicable.

RAILROAD TERMINALS, BIGGEST
IN THE UNITED STATES, AL
MOST DESTROYED.
LOSS WILL TOTAL MILLION
Great Elevators Near River Reduced

st. Louis, Oct. 21.-Fire, starting at
midnight, came near destroying the
East st. Louis terminals, said to be
and the loss is upwards of a million
dollars.
The Greatest Losses.
The greatest losses were the Ad-
vance Elevator company, $650,000;
and the Chicago & Alton Railway
company, 100000. The fire origi-
mated in the elevator which stands
on the bank of the Mississippi river
and soon spread north, east and
south to the Chicago & Alton freight
house, the Baltimore & Ohio ware
house, the Glover Lead warehouse
and the railroad yards proper.
At no time was the fire under con-
troll of the East st. Louis fire depart
ment. Even when the st. Louis depart
ment sent several companies across
the bridge the firemen gave all their
energies to saving adjoining property.
Illinois Farmers Lose.
The elevator contained about $780,
900 bushels of grain belonging to Illi-
nois farmers. The fire originated on
the side facing the river and on that
account was inaccessible.
Shortly after midnight the bulk Of
the elevator crashed to the ground
and part of the burning ruins slid into
the river. The huge heap of grain
continued to burn.
Having consumed everything else
within it's path, the fire was confined
to rs filed freight cars.
All the available engines in the
city were pressed into service to draw
the remaining cars out of reach of the
flames.
