Bryan Did Not Urge
Suffrage Any Earlier
Because Too Busy

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, July s-wnl-
lam ]. Bryan, former secretary Of state.
declared himself In favor of suffrage here
today and told an audience OF women
that he had not espoused their cause
sooner because he had been busy with
other matters. He added that he usually
did not take up questions until they were
capable OF solution.
II believe It is only question OF time
until women will share governmental bur-
dens with men" he said.
Let me give you an argument for
those who question the morality and In
telligence Of giving the ballot to women.
More than 90 per cent OF the inmates
Of the Nebraska penitentiary are men.
You will find a majority of the women
in the churches. If women are intelligent
enough to keep out of the penitentiary
and have enough morality to go to church
there is no question Of their fitness for
the ballot"

ARE KILLED In
EXCURSION WRECK
Score More Injured When Trolley
Leaps Track Near Ontario Town
and Takes Plunge.
ONLY ONE BODY Is IDENTIFIED

QUEENSTON, Ont. July s.-Ten
persons we're killed and a score in
jured this evening when trolley
car on the International railways
line Jumped the track at a curve on
the sharp incline leading from
oueenston heights into the village
and rolled down a steep embank-
ment. The car was carrying a
crowd OF Toronto excursionists to
the boat landing here.
Late tonight the only body which had
been identified was that of Dorothy X
Keats. Z years old.
The car was so completely crushed
that the work of extricating the In
jured was dlstressingiy slow. There
were about thirty-five passengers on the
car and only one or two escaped injury.
Eight dead were taken from the wreck
age and two OF the injured, one Of them
girl of 49, died while being carried
from the car TO an ambulance at Nj
agara Falls.
Passengers said that the car seemed
to buckle in the center before II left the
rails. The car was virtually in two
sections when II stopped.
Owing to the inaccessibility Of the
spot there was a long delay in getting
the dead and injured into oueenston and
Niagara Falls. The more seriously in
jured we're taken TO the general hospital
at Niagara Falls and those who could be
moved after receiving first aid were car
ried on board a Toronto steamer, which
was at the dock.
Conductor Escapes.
Conductor George Caswell was among
the few who escaped unhurt.
Realizing that he could give little as
sistance to the injured. he ran to Queens
ton. A general call for help was sent
out in the village and word Of the acct
dent was telephoned to the main offices
OF the company at Niagara Falls, Ont.
Relief cars were started from both ends
of the line. carrying all the doctors who
could be reached. as we'll as soldiers who
had been on guard at the bridge.
When the rescuers arrived the slightly
injured were sent on to Queenston. The
bad cases were taken to the hospital al
Niagara Falls. Ont 1t was after mid
night when the last case had left the
operating table.
The injuries OF many OF the patients
were serious, but 1t was thought that nc
additional deaths we're expected.
Cause u Mystery.
Railway men have been unable TO learT

Premier Asduith said:
ct is a horrible story from every
point of view-one of the blacklist
spots on even German methods OF
war. My object in rising is to say,

that we shall not forget, and we ought

I'VE shall at the end of this war
hold it to be our duty to exact such
PREPARATION against those who are

matter as it may he possible for us
to inflict. ] do not think we would be

humanity if we should be content
