PROBE DISASTER

Into New. Haven Wreck.
Recalls Big Wreck on Sept. 2,

as a result of the wreck of two pas

ford yesterday remained at ten today.
OF more than three score injured
passengers. only Frank Mcnamara of
Ansonia, who is in a hospital here is
reported to be in a dangerous condi-
ton. Mcnamara was badly crushed
and it is feared he Will not live. The
list of dead as revised follows:
VIM. r. CURTISS, 80, Stamford,
engineer of train No. ., which caused
the collision.
GEORGE i. TOURTELLETTE
Merrick, Mass, flagman of train No.
70, who had run back to flag No. 5.

FRANK SCHAPA, New Haven, died

RAILROAD EMPLOYEE thought
to be the fireman named Werner.
Man aged about As. thought to be
Madiros Derhovhannassian,a an Armen-
ian merchant
An inquest into the cause of the
wreck was opened by Coroner Mix.
Whether the coroner's inquiry will be
open to the public has not been de-
cided. In previous wreck investiga-
tfons by Mr.. Mix the doors have been
closed notably that into the wreck at
North Haven on Sept, ., 1913 when %
lives were lost.
The public utilities commission will
resume it's hearing tomorrow, and a
member of the Interstate Commerce
commission and a railroad official
will lie present. Word came from
Washington that a federal investi-
cation into the disaster would be
opened.
Disregard of cautionary signal was
probably responsible for the rear-end
collision, according to Charles c ElweIl
of the Connecticut public utilities COM
mission. The states investigation al
/ ready is under way but in as much as
four railroad employees, the most inn
portant witnesses, were killed it will
be difficult to fix the responsibility
Mr.. Elwell said
The official theory of the accident is
that the engineer of the local disre-
garded or failed to see the cautionary
signal and could not make his brakes
hold when he came in sight of the
danger warming

AFTER EASY MONEY
Somebody Is Impersonating the City
License Collector.

Someone in town is trying to pick
up some easy money by impersonating
the city license collector, G. T. Mat
tingly Two instances have been re-
ported to Mr. Mattingly since yester-
day morning. One report came in
first thing this morning.
This morning a new man in town,
who is opening a restaurant and con-
fectionery near the Santa Fe depot.
called Mr. Mattingly by telephone and
asked if he had to pay a license to
operate in Topeka. The answer was
in the negative, of course.
We'll" said the proprietor, there
was man here yesterday who said he
was the city license collector and, told
me it would cost me $50 to open up.
I refused to pay and he went away.
This morning he was back again and
had cut the price tc $40"
Mattingly instructed the man to
waste no time in connecting up with
the police station the next time the
bogus license collector made his ap-
pearance.
This isn't the first time men have
tried to collect city license money"
said Mattingly today. It's a popular
plan but seldom works.

had been restored the market was 112c TO

serions by leading crop expert that more

current that a liberal amount of export

audience. Miss Stevens again won
applause when she declared, The
time for justice is now-right now. If
it is right for women to vote, it is
right for them to vote right now.
Miss Stevens said that the fight for
national suffrage would not be waged
before congress during the present
at least not during the next few
months. Instead, the fight will be
carried against the administration in
suffrage states.
I'VE will not carry on our fight be-
fore congress during the next few
months" said Miss Stevens. I'VE will
make the fight in the territory where
women have power-the states where
women vote"
Then Miss Stevens proceeded to
start fire under Congressman Jo-
seph Taggart of the Second Kansas
district. Taggart is a Democrat. While
he is willing to vote for suffrage, Miss
Stevens said the Second district mem
Der was not enthusiastic or active.
She then urged the women to adopt a
resolution calling for Congressman
Taggart to get busy.
As Miss Stevens concluded her
speech, DR.. Eva Harding left the hall
Mrs. Case stayed on the job.

Miss Stevens laid it down.

GRACE" The GIRL
Murderer Wanted to Add Mar
riage to Career.
Warden Interfered; Now Girl Is
Working-Just Waiting.

McAlester, Okla, Feb. 23.-Efforts
to add a love affair and marriage to
the already remarkable career of John
Chihola, life termer'' in the Okla
homa state penitentiary here, were
brought to an abrupt ending few
days ago by Warden R. W. Dick, when
he refused a pretty young girl, who
declined to give her name, aid in OBJ
tanning a license to marry the con-
victed murderer.
Chihola's career has been spectacu-
lar. He is said to have been an asso-
ciate of Cotton Taylor, now serving
a life sentence here for a brutal muir
der at Muskogee. Okla, several years
ago, and who has a notable record in
Oklahoma courts. Chihola was also
convicted of murder, and had served
but a few years of his life sentence
when he made a sensational escape
from the state penitentiary in Septem-
Der, 1915. He was recaptured at
Whitehall, ILL.,, January 8, 1915, and
reincarcerated.
1t was during his four months OF
freedom that Chihola's love affair was
conceived. No one here knew the
girls name-She would only answer
Grace" when asked.
The woman made application to
County Judge S. F. Brown for a Ii
cense to wed her sweetheart-convict
1t was denied when it was learned that
the bridegroom to be was a life termer
The woman then went to the peniten-
tiary and begged Warden Dick in vain
to bring about the marriage.
She refused to reveal her identity
but told county officials her age was
u, and that her home was in St. Louis
She also said Chihola wooed her in
st. Louis, following his escape from
the penitentiary, and that they were
preparing to be married when he was
captured and brought back to Nc
Alester.
She said she had come here to car
ry out the marriage promise. Appar-
emily brOken-hearted, she went to
Muskogee, saying she would work
there in order to be near the man she

WANT MORE GUARDS
Another Company of Infantry Contem-

Immediate addition of a company of
infantry to the Kansas National
Guard is favored by c. 1. Martin, ad-

company would be in addition to the
one now being recruited in Parsons
but as yet no city has made overtures
for the establishment of the detach-

The strength of the guard recently
has been augmented by the establish
ment of a machine gun platoon at
Newton while invitations for the es-
Enlistment of second platoon have
been received from a number of cities.
The total strength of the Kansas
National Guard now is 1000 men, con-
