Breaks Refuse to Work
According to Motor
man Claude Darling,
Who With MANY
Passengers Escapes
by Jumping.
THREE WOMEN ARE
MOST SERIOUSLY HURT

Eight persons were injured, al
least three of them seriously,
when a northbound street car was
struck by a westbound Lake Shore
passenger train at the Michigan
st. crossing shortly after noon
Monday.
The street car brakes failed to
work, according to Motorman
Claude Darling. The car was de-
mOliShed.
About 25 passengers were on
the car. Most of these escaped
through the rear door. The
motorman, Darling, and Harold
Hively, conductor, both escaped
by jumping from the platform.
Here is the list of injured:
MRS. GEORGE BILL, 1905 S.
Michigan ST., broken leg.
MRS. j. F. DEMPSEY, sol
Dubail ay., hurt about the head
and face.
MRS. V. A. CANDY. 1925

Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Dempsey and
Mrs. Candy were taken to Ep-
worth hospital. Others were
cared for at homes nearby.
Although the three persons
taken to the hospital were
seriously hurt, it was stated by
surgeons late Monday afternoon
that the injuries need not prove
fatal in any the cases.
When Darling approached the
Lake Shore crossing he shut off
the power and applied the brakes
to make the customary stop. He
was Mortified when he realized
that the brakes were not holding
and made frantic efforts to stop
the car. Passengers noticed that
the car was beyond control when
it started to cross the tracks and
rushed for the doors. Most of
them were able to reach safety.
The eight who were injured had
not time enough to reach the
doors. The train was due in
South Bend at i:25 but was
Slightly behind schedule.
George Kerner, $40 s. Michigan
St. who was just starting across the
Lake Shore tracks when the accident
occurred. stated that the train. which
was running at rather a low rate of
speed. struck the street car square
in the front. The accident occurred
Sc. quickly that he was unable to give
any reason. It appeared TO him that
the motorman attempted to stop his
car but that the brakes failed. The
engine crashed into the car. hurting
it to one side The grinding. brittle
noise was followed by screams Of the
women. The train came TO a stand
still within 100 yards. the engineer
being able to stop because of the rate
of speed at which he was travelling
just before the accident occurred,
which fact probably saved several
lives.
Remove Nreckage.
AS soon as the injured were remov-
ed from the scene Of the accident. the
Lake shore freight engine was put to
work hauling the demolished street
car from the tracks. The fast limited

Wireless calls brought speedy help

The passengers were transferred to

locating the stranded vessel owing TO
the thickness of the weather. The
powerful searchlights of the naval
ships were brought into play and il
was by this means that the helpless
liner was found.
The work Of transferring the pas
sengers began at dawn. The sea was
smooth and the work went ahead

CARRANZA WILL
CONSULT HIS AIDS
ON MEDIATION
BY LAURENCE TOD.

MEDIATION HEADQUARTERS
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June %
Gen. VenustianO CarTanZa, first chief
of the constitutionalists will take a
referendum vote of the rebel chiefs
to secure their sentiment on the
question Of sending delegates into
the mediation conference. The vote
is on the question of whether or not
the cOnstitutiOnalistS shall or shall
not abide by the Guadalupe agree
ment to continue fighting until Mex
leo City is in their possession.
This is believed to be the con-
tents of the reply of Gen. Carranza
to the latest invitation from the
mediators to join the mediation par
ley.
The fact that the breach. between
CarranZa and Gen. Villa is widening
cannot be disguised and some Of the
revolutionary leaders now fear that
the capture Of Mexico City would
precipitate another revolution.
Senor Luis ElgurO and the other
Mexicans are much interested in the
publication of certain letters and
other documents by a New York
newspaper which is supporting to
give the behind the scenes politics
in Mexico City"
Senor Elguro denied that he rep
resents the Lord Cowdray interests
in Mexico, a charge which was made
by the paper publishing the expose.
