Kuahgchow Killing Described

The sacking of Kuangchow in south eastern Honan is graphically described by the Shanghai correspondent of the Sou dan Times, who declares that for appall- ing ferocty the story could hardly be equalled
 Kuangchow consits of two walled cities on either side of river, and it's popula- ton was about 100000. When the White Wolf' brigands were reported coming some of the townspeople manned the walls; but White Wo;fp sent confed- crates into the town in disguise. and the attack thus began simultaneously within and without
 Practically all the people on the walls were butchere6 The attackers. let into the city by their confederates, came run ming through the streets, shooting as they advanced.
 Altogether over 1000 persons were slaughtered In one day, including the Magistrate. who was hacked to pieces, his remains being soaked in kerosene and burned. All the wealthy families were practically wiped out and their houses burned.
 In an adjourning market town, where the people were so imprudent as to fire a couple of old rusty old cannons at the brigands the whole population, men wo- men and children, were killed, except two boys, who escaped to tell the tale

ENGINE S|DESW|PES
 PASSENGER COACH
None of the Passengers on SeabOard Train No. 23
 Seriously Injured

Several passengers were badly shaken up about $40 o'clock last night when engine No 12 of the Southern railroad "sideswiped" a coach of incoming train No 23 of the Seaboard railroad at Twen- ty-seventh street and Railroad avenue, One of the passengers. Hill Bennett of Keystone a steel worker, was taken to St. Vincents hospital, owing to a severe cut over the right eye
 An official account of the wreck is to the effect that Seaboard train No. 23, due at the Terminal station at 9:15 o'clock from Atlanta. but running 20 minutes late, was "sideswiped' by engine No. 12 of the Southern railroad at, Twenty-sev- enth street and Railroad avenue. The shock of the collision, it is stated, titled frst-class coach over to an alarming degree, but none of the other coaches left the track. All the windows in the for ward coach of the train were broken by the impact and several passengers were badly shaken up but none seriously hurt.
 It was stated that engine No. 12 was in charge of hostlers and being brought in from the Southern roundhouse in Avondale to take out tke Southern train aI lz.lD CLOCK InlS morning TOT At lanta.
 Seaboard train No 23 was in charge of Conductor T. H. Harrell and Engi- neer Post.
 The wreckage was soon cleared up and the Seaboard train was only delayed 15 minutes by the collision.
 It was reported at first that none of the passengers had been hurt seriously enough to be taken to an infirmary, but 1t later developed that Hill Bennett, a steel worker of Keystone, had such a bad cut over the eye that he had been removed to St. Vincent's by an ambu- lance of Shaw & Son. It was stated that a negro passenger also suffered a broken arm and was taken to the TIilman hos ptal
 An odd incident of the wreck is that one of the passengers became alarmed at the collision and jumped out of the car win dow and lost his watch. He came to Bir- mingham and told several of his friends of his experience in the wreck and then discovered tht he had lost his watch He returned to the scene of the collision and after looking around with several railroad men found his watch.
 Seaboard officials will investigate the "sideswiping" of train 23 this morning

PSYCHOLOGISTS WILL BEGIN HERE SUNDAY  Three Days Session of Ala
 bama Organization TO MAKE EXHIBITS
Sessions in Alabama Are Preliminary to the Big Meeting Which Will Be Held in
 Memphis
By GEORGE EAvEs, D. D.


 preliminary programme has been is- sued for the second Afaoama Sociological congress, May 3. and 1, under unusual difficulties Instead of being discouraged by these obstacles. the committee has managed, by frequent meetings to evolve a quite unique and practical scheme for the meetings, however, and has even compelled the hindrances to serve as helps.
 Early in May the National Conference of Charities and Corrections will con vene at Memphis and immediately pre- cedng it's sessions the Southern Socio- logical congress will gather in the same city. This means that Memphis will be the center of interest for all who are working for the betterment of social con- ditions throughout this whole land where careful and constructive philanthropists and thinkers will hold their great an- nual family reunion. It was hoped that some of these famous men and women might come beforehand to the Birming- ham meeting, but this hope has been frustrated by repeated postponements.
 Does Alabama depend on them, how ever? By no means. This is Alabama s congress, and the comparative absence of strangers, instead of weakening it's value, has contributed thereto. Because the legislature of 1915 is rapidly approach ing, and many local and state interests challenge attention, the programme has been made codicil of Alabama work CTS, leading up to the final session when the legislative needs will be outlined.
 Not to overburden this article with a mass of details, 1t may be said that five great interests are represented.
 1. The child.
 2. The family.
 3. Health and nursing.
 4. Housing.
 5. Legislation
 Two state organizations, 1t is expected will be created during the congress, at luncheons on May and 5, the first for child welfare, the second for statewide war on tuberculosis.
 great preliminary rally of citizens awakened to social needs will be held Sunday next at D. m., in the magnifi- cent new Jewish temple. The speakers will be the Rev. George Lang of the Sy- nodical college. Anniston. and the Rev. M. S. Barnwell Mr. Lang was formerly pastor at North Birmingham. He is em- inent as a student and has recently made a tour of the world, greatly enriching his knowledge of social conditions. MT. Barn.
