TWILIGHT SLEEP"
FOR MRS. PHIPPS
Parents of Millions Heir Pro-
nOunce Method an Un-
qualified Success.
by Telegraph to The Tribune J

Denver. March When Mrs. Law
renee Phipps gave birth Thursday to
the second heir to the Phipps millions
she passed through the twilight
sleep" and both Mr.. and Mrs. Phipps
pronounce the latest scientific method
of bringing children into the world an
unqualified success.
It was the first time in Denver that
the method has been tried in the ex-
elusive social circles, and 1t is pre-
dicted that it will now be much used
here.
1--WE are perfectly satisfied with the
result of the sleep" MIR. Phipps said
to-day. 81 am telling all our friends
about it. 1t is boon to suffering hu-
manity, and knowledge of its success
should be spread through the land. Inc
twilight sleep should not be thing for
one class or caste to enjoy. II should
he omen TO every mother to whose case
il is applicable. Mrs. Phipps was un-
der the anesthetic about four hours.
The Phipps baby is pronounced per-
fectly healthy and normal in every re-
spect. Mrs. Phipps shows none OF the
usual weakening effects of childbirth
and will be allowed to get up very soon

could get at the broken valve.
Hemp groaned and wire sang. The
cables tautened with a swish that sent
little waterspouts whirling upward into
the snow. But the Maine hugged the
mud. When the tugs put forth their
efforts in unison there would be the
hint of lift and then the obstinate
battleship would settle down a little
deeper and her masts would tilt little
further out over the river.
Hour upon hour the tugs labored at
the reluctant vessel. Not until late
in the afternoon were the divers able
TO reach the trouble. By 8 o'clock the
intake was closed and the pumps began
to aid the tugs. Shortly afterward the
Maine was on her way to drydock No

mon accident. Several years ago when

misfortune The Texas missed the mud

600 LOSE LIVES
IN MEXICAN WRECK
Whole Train Plunges Into
Abyss When Engineer
Loses Control, Report.

Boston, March 6.-Report of rail
road accident in Mexico last January
in which 900 lives were lost is con-
tanned in a letter received to-day by
the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions from one Of its
representatives at Manzanillo, on the
Mexican west coast.
The letter was written on February
IA. According to the writer, after the
entry of the soldiers into Guadalajara,
which was captured By Carranza's
troops on January IS, the Governor or
dered that their families should be
brought up from COlima on a special
train.
There were more than twenty cars,
the letter continued, simply packed
with humanity, the roofs covered with
men and women and many slung under
the cars, in a most perilous position
even for ordinary travel.
"At the top of the steepest grade,
coming down the enginer ioSV cohIroi
and the cars rushed down the long in
cline. throwing off human freight on
both sides and finally plunging into an
abyss.
mine hundred people were on the
train, and only six were unhurt. More
than 500 were killed outright. Some of
the Yaqui Indians committed suicide
when they were told of the accident to
their families and others have sworn
vengeance. All the railroad men were
killed. so there is none to suffer"
The letter was written by Mrs. John
Howland. who, with her husband and
Louis B. Fritts, was escaping from
Guadalajara, where they had been con-
nected with the boards mission sta
ton. They were endeavoring to reach
California. but when they arrived at
Manzanillo their steamer had departed.
They left Guadalajara on the first tram
operated on the line after the accident
occurred.
It is believed by officials Of the board
that they are now somewhere IN North,
ern Mexico on their way TO the United
States. Mrs. Howland is well known to
the board. and her report is regarded
as undoubtedly correct.
