Mohawk division of the New York Cen
tral railroad, was derailed three miles
west Of here early today Eight cars. in

submerged in the Mohawk river. The en-
sine forward car and two rear coaches
remained on the track.

all passengers were then transferred with
ir an hour to train No. a and proceeded

Specialist Alarmed

opNSidiiSe ~AiUA Ass~N
Dr. Starr was startled at the change in
Mr. Morgans appearance since he saw
him only a short time ago at Naples and
was much concerned again today over
the change which had occurred even since
last night
There are four trained nurses in at
tendance. Mr. Morgan-s pulse which
has been very weak for the last few days,
is gradually becoming weaker. The in
somnia from which he is suffering is with
cifficulty being combatted by drugs, but
the narcotics are having a pronounced
effect on his heart. The most distressing
symptom for those surrounding him is
the patients complete silence. For this
reason. it has been impossible to say
whether he now realizes his condition.
The last words uttered by Mr.. Morgan
were a request to have his limbs mas
saged, a treatment which had often been
given to him on former occasions when
suffering from nervousness.
Unable to Swallow
Ali attempts to make the patient swal-
low anything even water, have been IN
vain. The physicians explain that this
is due to the lack of functional vitality
in the nervous system which under sucn
conditions arrest the functioning of the
organs. They are opposed to the desire
of Mr.. and Mrs. Satterlee to remove Mr..
Morgan to London, considering that any
exposure at present would be extremely
dangerous
Only tonight did the gravity Of Mr.. Nor
gans condition become generally known
in Rome, and anxious Inquiries concern
ing him have been pouring in. Even
King Victor Emmanuel. who has always
remembered Mr.. Morgans generosity N

ton which urged a federal law TO pro-
hibit polygamy in all the states and

jected.
Such an amendment is not neces-
sary.' he said, "pOlygamy is not and
has not been practiced in Utah or
any other state since 1890. 1 defy
any one to prove that it is still prac-
ticed in Utah. Our churches are open
to Investigation"

answered Stewart.
Il have lived for Is ears among
the Mormons and L know that they
