JOKE KILLS TWELVE
Boys Pull Whistle on Los Angeles
Electric Car.
Injured Probably 200, Many of
Whom Will Die-Crowds Mob
Photographers.

Los Angeles-To "horse play" by
youths who played with the train
whistle is attributed the loss of about
IL lives and the injuring of some 200
persons near here Sunday night. Two
Pacific Electric trains collided, tele-
scoping two cars and wrecking an
other at Vineyard station, in the city
limits.
Three trains loaded with excursion
lists from the beaches at Venice had
stopped at curve where a switch is
turned The last train began moving
forward while the foremost trains re-
manned at standstill.
Carol Bartholomae. the conductor
of the last car on the center train,
jumped to the track with his light to
flag" down the approaching car.
Some youths on his train, say some
passengers who escaped death, pulled
the whistle in jest. This, it was ex-
planned by railroad men, was interpre-
ted by the motorman of the moving
train, as the signal to come hahead-
With a crash of breaking glass,
splitting timbers, mems groans anc
women's screams, the motor car Of
the last train plunged into the rear OF
the center train. The youths who hac
played with the whistle were crushed
in the debris.
The two colliding cars were nearly
telescoped. The second car of the sta
tionary train was almost demolished
The motorman of the moving train
hearing the whistle, had given full
speed ahead. The curves evidentl,
had prevented his seeing the standing
cars of the next train. The thirt
train was not affected. The three
trains were said to have been running
at three-minute intervals.
Most of the killed were cut lint
pieces. Their identification was slow
Special trains rushed the injured t
Los Angeles hospitals and the dead +
morgues here.
The cries of the wounded could b
heard above the din of the crowd
which became frantic and whicl
mobbed the newspaper photographer
who tried to take pictures of tn

TORPEDO Cause of Suit.

New York-The United States gov
eminent was granted by Federal Judge
veeder preliminary injunction re-
straining the E. w. Bliss company
from selling the Bliss-Leavitt torpedo

tends that when the torpedo was as
signed to the government by its inven-

Bliss company bought the right to
manufacture it, selling the torpedo
abroad was forbidden under the con-
tract. Arguments to make the injunc-
ton permanent will be heard this fall.

Army TOTAKE HAND
Mexican Rebels viii Be Forced to
Release Prisoners.
Compliance Fully Expected-Mexi-
cans Join Americans in Form
ing Vigilance Committees.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Gar
rison has ordered Colonel Edwin P.
Brewer, of the Fourteenth Cavalry at
Fort Mcintosh, Tex, to demand the
release of five Americans, together
with $50 cattle and 80 horses, held by
Mexican revolutionists at Hidalgo,
Mexico. Secretary Bryan requested
the action
Secretary Bryan, who made public
the order to Colonel Brewer, declined
to discuss what would be done in the
event the revolutionists declined to
give up the Americans and their prop
erty. 1t was regarded as certain at
the State department that Colonel
Brewers demand would be complied
with promptly.
Hidalgo is on the Texas border
about so miles northwest of Fort Nc
Intosh and it is expected that the col
onel will execute his mission with
alacrity.
The attention of the State depart
ment was called 70 the imprisonment
of the Americans and the seizure OF
their property by Consul Garrett al
Neuvo Laredo, Mexico. When Consul
Garrett demanded the release of his
countrymen the revolutionists told hin
they must await orders from Piedrai
Negras.
So great is the lawlessness arount
Tampico that the better class of Mex
leans have joined Americans in organ
izing vigilantes under commission o,
the Federal military governor of San
Luis Potosi. Already Ia bandits hav,
been hanged. 1t is expected that
military governor will take charge o
the state Temaulip, as has been dom
in Vera Cruz and San Luis Potosi.
The consul at Mazatlan has reporte'
to the State department that man,
destitute Americans are arriving a
that port and that he has already sen

Use Bellows to Skin Goats.

Great quantities of Mocha goatskins
are imported from Alden, on the Gulf
of Alden, into this country, many skins
coming from Africa. The Abyssin-
ians and Somalis are considered the
most expert in skinning goats. The
former rarely permits his knife to
touch the animal after killing and dur
ing the skinning process, and by means
of bellows removes the skin in an ex-
cellent condition. Somali women are
also very adept in this art and exercise
great care throughout.

Strawberry Wine Praised.

Regarded incidentally, strawberry
wine is held to be superior to grape
wine. Spanish doctors who have in
vestigated the matter report that
strawberry wine gives the greater
strength to a weakened costitution.
The strawberry wine industry is said
to be assuming some Importance in
Spain.

President Seeks Byways.

Cornish, N. H. = President Wilson
went exploriong in his automobile Sat-
urday. He took an unfrequented road,
and his big car picked its way slowly
and cautiously over mountain side.
The machine negotiated the hills with
little difficulty, but frequently in the
descents the brakes were thrown on
tight. The trip was made without
mishap and the view of the surround
ing hills amply repaid the President
for the humping he got, as both he
and Mrs. Wilson saw the Green Noun
tains from unusual vantage points.

London = The Balkan war having
been regularized by formal declara-
tions, it is understood that the powers
will make no attempt to mediate. The
Official Gazette at Belgrade published
notices of formal declaration of war
against Bulgaria.
Servian dispatches admit that
strong Bulgarian column has invaded
Servia at Konagevatz, which town
they occupied after setting fire to the
adjacent villages. Cholera has been
carried to Belgrade by the wounded.
Official Greek dispatches claim a
great victory at Dorian, where the
Bulgarians, recently reinforced, are in
superior strength to the Greeks. The
latter assert that a whole division of
Bulgarians was destroyed, and that
the Bulgarians fled in such confusion
that they even left loaded guns behind.
This victory is considered of great
Importance because Dorian was the
Bulgarian victualing center and all the
provisions fell into the hands of the
Greeks.
1t is reported from Sofia that the
10th Bulgarian division, which rein
forced General Ivanoff, was brought
from the Tchatalja district. This
would indicate compliance with Tur-
keys demand that the Bulgarians
evacuate Turkish territory.
The Bulgarians are taking the
offensive against Nish, according tc
announcement from Sofia.
A dispatch from Saloniki says that
Father Michel, superior to the French
Catholic mission at Kilxish, confirms
reports of massacres committed il
that district by Bulgarian irregulars
In one instance they burned to dealt
700 men belonging to Kurkut by i'm
prisoning them in a mosque undel
which they exploded bombs, setting
the building on fire. They had pre-
viously assembled the victims wives
and daughters to witness the spec
tacle.
Even more terrible scenes were en-
acted at Kilkish, Planitza and Ray
novo. women also being burned t.
death.
Father Michel asserts that amonI
the irregulars responsible for thes
atrocities were business and profes
sional men and students from Sofia.
