Eufaula, Ala, Nov. 13.-Twelve per- dred injured, some of them fatally, early today when three coaches of a Central of Georgia passenger train left the rails at a point IT miles south of here and plunged down a steep em- bankment.

 Caused by Broken Rail.
 A broken rail is said to have caused the accident. As the crowded excur- sion train rounded Q curve the three cars at the rear, literally packed with passengers, suddenly left the track and, breaking away from the others, rolled down the steep embankment. The coaches practically were demol- ished. Shrieks and groans of the in- jured rose above the rending crash of Splintering timberS.
 Occupants of the two coaches re- maining on the rails immediately bent their efforts to rescuing the hundreds who were caught in the tangled mass of wreckage. Word of the disaster quickly reached Clayton, Ala, three miles away, and relief trains bearing surgeons and nurses were immediately despatched from Ozark and Eufaula, where most of the dead and injured later were taken.

AN ENGINEERS THEORY
identifies His Chief, Who Wore Life Preserver of Another Vessel-Fears for Big Steel Freishter.

Fort Huron. Mich, Nov. 13.-Does another vessel lie beneath the wreck of the overturned vessel in Lake Huron. 13 milS from here
 This is the theory advanced by Mil ton smith, assistant engineer of the ill., lated steamer Charles s. Price Mf. smith had a prenonitfon of the ap- preaching danger, and left his ship at Cleveland the day before it rode into the teeth of Lake Huron's gale and foundered with all hands on board.
 Identifies His Chief Engineer.
 Ar. Smith returned to Port Huron tonight from Thedford, Ont, where he went to help establish identity of the men whose bodies were in the morgue there.
 The first body he identified was that of John Groundwater, chief engineer of the Price, whose home is in Cleveland
 Are you sure?' asked the coroner.
 As sure as I know my own name is Smith, he replied.
 Well. this man had one of the Re- g1na's life preServerS wrapped about his body,' said the coroner
 Indications of a Collision.
 smith was dumfounded. How the chief engineer of the steamer Price happened to be found in one of the life preservers of the Regina was more than he could fathom. Then it dawn ed upon the Port Huron man that the Regina and Price may have colllided, and in the attendant excitement sailors of each vessel grabbed the life pre- servers that happened to be nearest.
 His theory is further strengthened by the fact that the bodies Of the men who went down on the Regina and the Price were found in precisely the same position on the shore, some of them even clasped in each others arms. This practically substantiates the belief that the overturned vessel on Lake Huron is eitser the Regina or the Price
 Also Identified Prices Steward.
 It also is thought that the vessels collided with such force that one of them either is piled on top of the oth- CT, or that one of them has sunk com pletely otu of sight
 That the accident occurred with ter rible suddenness is established in Smiths Identification of the Prices steward, Herbert Jones of Superior, Wis.
 s'There he was,' said Smith, flying there with his apron on, just as if he were about to prepare a meal or just had prepared it. Evidently the poor fellow did not have even time to look after his wife, who was also on board, which shows how quickly the boat must have gone down.
