q SOME LITTLE DRESSES.

~ Not always elaborate are stylish
tlothes for children, since just the
simple touch IS often the most tell
ing one. In many OF the new fall
dresses we find accordingly just the
right dash effected by very little
.rouble or expense.
Two-piece dresses are the smart
thing just now, and as Jar as pleasing
the girl is concerned they have first
place-for what girl does not like
a skirt and waist after the manner
oi grown-ups? In many OF these
two fabrics are combined, the waist
being of one and the skirt OF another,
with a touch OF the skirt trimming
the blouse and vice versa. These
two-piece effects are especially prac-
teal for the lengthening waist line
of the growing girl. more particularly
when they are made straight up and
down to give the right covering for
the awkward age"
The MILDLY dress IS the right thing
for y-day style. laced up the front
and finished with d dashing sailor

On Curve Near Lebanon, Mo.
Chair Car and Smoking Car

St. Louis Twenty-seven persons
were drowned when st. Louis and

train plunged into cloudburst two
miles west of Lebanon, Mo-. and two
passenger cars toppled into deep

Eighteen persons were injured; but
none of them was hurt seriously.
Ninety-nine persons, including the
train crew, were on the train.
The accident occurred at curve
which marked the edge of a ravine
characteristic of the Ozark hill coun-
try.
For several hours the train had been
going carefully, as the engineer feared
the heavy rains had weakened the
track. Just as the locomotive hit the
curve, two miles from Lebanon, the
engineer saw wall Of water ahead of
him. Though going only Is miles an
hour the train could not be stopped
before it plunged into the water.
The 12-foot embankment on which
the tracks crossed the ravine had been
swept away by the rush of water.
The locomotive Kissed through the
angry current on the sogging track.
but the chair car and the smoking car
rolled over into the torrent. The
locomotive and the mail and the bag
gage cars were forced by momentum
across the deepest part of the ravine,
although they finally left the rails and
toppled partly over the structure three
feet under water. The fireman, j. H.
Stockstill, was crushed to death, but
the engineer escaped injury. None of
the mail clerks or express messengers
was hurt The four sleeping cars re-
manned on the track, behind the
stream.
The chair car and the smoking car
sank deep in the rushing water. Many
of the occupants were drowned while
they slept. Others clambered through
the windows of the submerged cars
and swan to safety.

RATE CASE TO
Be RE0PENED.
Hearings to Be Resumed on
October 10.
FOR NEW EVIDENCE ONLY
Shippers To Review Fight Against In
crease In Freight Rates Order
Follows Conference Between
Wilson and Railroad Men,.

Washington, D. C.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission decided to re-
open the Eastern advance rate case
and will begin hearings here on Oc-
tober 10. A formal order to that eff
feet was prepared.
The decision Of the commission
comes upon the recent application Of
the railroads, which was made after
President Wilson had received rep
resentative committee of railway
presidents at the White House. How
far that conference may have gone to-
ward preparing the way for reopen
ing of the case is not known. It was
said at the time that the railway men
asked the President to appeal to the
country to treat the railroads in
spirit of cooperation and the Presi-
dent responded by sending a SYM
pathetic letter to Chairman Frank
Trumbull. of the Chesapeake and
Ohio.
The railroads also asked the COM
mission to modify its recent decision,
which granted increases west Of Pitts
burgh and denied all increases be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Allan
tic Seaboard. Under the law the COM
mission cannot modify that order
without hearings; the decision to re-
open the case brings the whole ques-
ton up again for review.
The railroads asked for reopen
ing. not upon the showing they made
at the hearings prior to the decision,
but upon conditions which, the man
ayers say, have become apparent
since
Shippers organizations which fought
the increases previously have given
notice that they will oppose further
advances on the re-hearing They
will be represented by counsel and
will have opportunity to oppose new
increases as they did before
The increases the railroads ask are
identical with those which were de-
MED. Although described as per
cent. advances, the commissions
recent decision declared some of them
ranged as high as IS per cent.
Western railroads already are pre-
pairing applications for Increases in
freight rates, so that when the COM
mission begins the re-hearing it will
have substantially before it applica-
lions for increased freight rates from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Jordan, Of Dawson Springs, the popu-

talked too much, their only talking,
however. being against night riders.
Handy is retired farmer and ever
since the tobacco troubles four or five
years ago he has been outspoken
against night riding. The elder Jor-

criticized night riding, though he says
he didn't.
Harrison Jordan, twenty years of
age, is a farm laborer. Recently his
employer claimed that 5000 he had
hidden in the smoke-house had been
stolen. A few nights afterward, Jor-

and gave him two minutes in which
to confess to taking the money.

ARMY TO LEAVE

Their Further Presence There

GARRISON ADVISES FUNSTON
Preparations Begun For Turning over
Custom House At Vera Cruz To
Mexicans-The Salute
Episode.
Episode.

Washington, D. president Will
son announced that the American
troops will be withdrawn from Vera
Cruz.
In a brief statement making the
announcement the President said:
This action is taken in view of the
entire removal of the circumstances
which were thought to justify the &C.
cupation. The further presence of the
troops is deemed unnecessary"
Secretary Of War Garrison received
the official order from the President
and at once cabled General Funston to
make preparations for the withdrawal
of his troops.
Inquiry To Carranza.
Preparations were begun for turn.
ing the custom house at Vera Cruz
and the municipal government over to
Mexicans again.
Secretary Garrison asked Secretary
Bryan to designate competent persons
to take over the custom house and the
city government. An inquiry on this
subject was sent to the Carranza gov.
eminent by Secretary Bryan, but no
answer has vet been received.
The troops at Vera Cruz under Cen
eral Funston including 1900 soldiers
and marines are expected to begin
their departure in about two weeks.
The marines on duty at Vera Cruz
will be sent back to the warships and
stations from which they were taken.
and the troops will be sent to Texas
City, where the second army division
is stationed.
The Salute Episode.
The sending Of the fleet and the
American expeditionary force to Mex
leo followed the refusal of former
Provisional President Hureta to salute
the American flag as demanded by
Rear Admiral Mayo in PREPARATION for
the action of Mexican soldiers in fore
IDLY taking American marines from a
launch flying the American flag at
Tampico.
President Wilson sent an ultimatum
to Huerta demanding that the salute
be fired April 10, but Huerta quibbled
over terms and finally failed to order
the salute fired. Orders were sent for
the fleet under Rear Admiral Fletcher
to take Vera Cruz, which was done
with some lively street fighting. Since
then the municipal government and
the custom house have been admin
istered under the direction of Gen
eral Funston.
