Freight Train Crashes into Heavily
Loaded Street Car at Bingham
ton, Tenn.

Memphis, Tenn.-Eleven persons
were killed and more than fifteen in
jured when an Illinois Central freight
train crashed into street car con-
tanning about thirty-five passengers,
near Binghamton, a suburb of Mem
phis. At midnight search was being
made for several persons unaccounted
for.
The wrecked car, a trailer, was
hurled over an ambankment, and the
foremost freight cars topp1ed over on
it. The motor car drawing the trailer
cleared the railway tracks ahead of
the engine. None of its passengers
was injured
The conductor and few passengers
on the trailer saw the onrushing train
in time to jump. They escaped with
slight injuries. Several other passen-
gers were carried nearly two hundred
feet on the locomotive fender before
being thrown into ditch.

and cracked open At times It was
so bad that it disabled me; my hands
became so sore that could scarcely
use them.

find but nothing seemed to do any
good. Finally sent for a sample Of

What are your reasons for doing

REFUGEES IN PER|L;;-
 US. CONSUL PROTESTS
Opposes OV5TCIoWding of Small
 Steamers With Tourists.

Rotterdam, via London, Aug. 27.- (9:45 D. m.).-The steamship Rot terdam, which will sail for the United States on Saturday, will carry almost 5000 passengers. The character of the accommodations is not known, as the company will not permit the passengers to go aboard prior to sailing time.
 American Consul Protests.
 The American consul general at this port, Soren Listoe, has been en- deavoring to prevent the advertise ing by small steamship concerns here of alleged steamship accomnlo- dations for stranded :, Americans These concerns plon to put as many as 25O passengers on a 4,000 ton vessel not built for passenger traf- fic. , pr. Henry Van Dyke, the Ameri- can minister, has made representa- tion to the government on this score. There Has been no great in Aux of Americans in the last four days, but it is believed that thou sands will arrive from Germany as soon as the Berlin relief bureau makes possible the cashing of drafts.
 Need More Steamers.
 Men familiar with the situation express the opinion that more steam CTS should be provided for the pur- pose of transporting these people The steamers should possess ade- quate accommodations and sail from Dutch ports direct. This proba bly would necessitate the chartering of special steamers. ... ,..ssg .-ft.l
 It is impossible here to obtain ac- curate figures as to the number of Americans still on the continent. A fair estimate is thought to be from 15,OOO to 10000, in addition to those now at Rotterdam awaiting transportation. Americans who have reached here on the regular trains from Germany save the treatment they received was excellent.

THREE KILLED IN
 AUTO ACCIDENT
Car Plunges Down Ten Foot Enl- banLment on Highway to
 Springfield. Mass.

SpT1ngneIO. MASS.
 South Windsor. Conn.,. Aug. 27.- Three persons were killed late last night when an automobile plunged down a ten foot embankment on the highway to Springfield, Mass. The dead, are:
 Allen Sisson of Baltimore, Harold Cool of Glens Falls, and James D.. Orne of New York. It is said that the driver of the automobile was blinded by the dazzling headlight of a passing trolley car, which caused him to lose control of his machine.
 H. w. Mills, of Hartford. the owner of the machine, who was driving, was unhurt. The automobile, racing model, was said to have been travel ing at a high rate of speed. Accord ing to MT. Mills, a defective steering gear was the primary cause of the ac- cident. In attempting to turn out sharply when the blaze of the trolley headlight was seen, the machine swerved suddenly, struck a telegraph down the embankment. The car con- tinued it's way for twenty feet before it came to stop.
 Within five minutes after the acci- dent a number of persons were on the scene. All three of the men were dead, death probably having been caused instantly.
 The three men who were killed re- gently came to Hartford to live and were employed by an insurance com pany. The party was on the way to Springfield when the accident oc- cured.

PLAN TO RELIEVE
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE International Bankers Take Steps
 to Aid Situation.

New York, Aug. 27.-Additional steps looking to the relief of the for eign exchange situation were taken by international bankers yesterday, but definite details were lacking. It is understood that the $3,000,O00 of New York city obligations which fall due the first week of September will be met by the purchase of exchange in this market. Arrangements are under way also for the increased fa- cilities of shipments of grain and other commodities to Europe in larger volume. It is noteworthy in this connection that some banks have de- cided to issue long bills against fu- ture grain shipments Most of the grain now going abroad is consigned to France, while England is taking small amounts of cotton.
 New Loan Prohibited.
 Apropos of the the cotton situation. southern banks were again active borrowing yesterday and aside from numerous renewals of loans which ma ture between this and the end of the month many new loans were reported. In order to meet these fresh demands it is likely that local banks will have to increase their supplies of emer- gency currency.
 A review of the steel and iron in- dustry indicates that the leading mills are no less active than a month ago, some even more so, but the buying power is steadily running behind pro- duction. There has been some in- quiry from abroad, including Aus tralia without much actual buying. Nevertheless, it is the prevailing opinion that exports must eventually assume large proportions because of the cutting off of the European SUD- ply.
 To Curtail Service.
 Announcement by the Pennsylyania railroad of its intention to further curtail its passenger service along the main system was attributed to foreign conditions. Other roads are said to be contemplating similar action. In various lines of industry and utility there are indications of reduced &C., tivity including the Montana copper | region.
 Money shows tendency to harden, some loans being made at as high as | 3 per cent. Foreign exchange has been visibly strengthened by the re- ported success of the German army. Demand sterling was quoted at 5.04 to 5.o5, with cables at 5.o5 1-2 to
