MAYOR is In TROUBLE
ELECTION DATES AT FOND DU
LAC MIXED.
Vote on Board to be March %, Prfs
mary March "a and Final
April 7.

; Fond du Lac.-Attorney General
Owen will be asked to untangle the
complications arising from the action
of Mayor Wolff in calling a special
election to vote on the commission
plan at the latest date possible by the
law.
This election is to be held on March
%. The law provides that at the cleo
ton held on the first Tuesday in April
next succeeding adoption of the COM
mission plan, there shall be elected a
council consisting of mayor and two
members. The law also provides that
candidates for these offices shall be
nominated at primary election to be
held two weeks before the general
election. This would throw the pri-
mary on March % or the day follow
ing the date on which the board plan
is adopted in event it wins. The law
further requires candidates to file
nomination papers twenty days before
the primary, which in this case would
be nearly three weeks before the vote
on the commission plan is taken
So far as known this is the first
time such series of complications has
arisen in the state.

WRECK KILLS FIVE
. ON MICHIGAN ROAD
Passenger Train Hits Freight
Near Jackson.
SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED
Passengers Trapped in Coaches and
Death List May Go Higher-Be-
iieved Accident Was Caused
by Mixup of Orders

Jackson, Mich, Jan. 27.-At least
five persons were killed and score in.
jured Sunday night when Michigan
Central passenger train No. 70, from
Saginaw, due here at 1910 p. m, col
lided head-on with freight train
about three miles from here.
The baggage car and one coach of
the passenger train were telescoped
and every passenger IN the coach was
either killed or injured. All available
physicians were hurried to the scene
of the wreck from this city. Several
of the wounded were brought to hos
pitfalls here on an interurban car, the
line Of which parallels the Michigan
Central tracks at that point.
Owing to the darkness the work of
rescue was slow and difficult Two
hours after the collision number of
the passengers were still in the wreck
age and it was believed some Of these
also might be dead.
Access to the wrecked coach-the
smoker-was INSTRUCTED by the walls
Of the baggage car, which completely
encased it. Inside this trap could be
seen from a dozen to score Of pas
sengers. Some OF them were moaning
or shrieking for aid, while others lay
still, evidently dead.
The only body identified up to two
o'clock Monday morning was that of
Engineer Cal Johnson of the passen-
ger train. He was crushed to death
between the tender and his cab.
Through apertures in the smoker
could be seen a man believed to be
James B. Cheney of Detroit. He sat
upright in a seat which was damned
against the one in front of him. The
wreck apparently resulted from mis-
understanding of orders. The freight,
it is said, was supposed to take a sid
ing to allow the passenger train to
pass.
