Mn { KILLED
IN WRECK NEAR
MILFORD, conn.
Engineer Disregards Cautioning
Signal and Rear End Collis-
sion Is Result.
FREIGHT CRASHES INTO
THE MASS OF WRECKAGE
Over Fifty Are Injured in Smash
up. Many Yale Graduates
Among Injured.

Milford, Conn, Feb. 22.-Disregard
of cautioning signal was probably
responsible for the rear end collision
on the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad near here today, in
which eight persons lost their lives
and upwards of so persons were in
jured, according to Charles Elwell Of
the Connecticut Utility commission.
The state investigation, already is
we'll underway, but in as much as
four of the railroad employees: the
most important witnesses, were kill
ed, it will be difficult to fix respon-
sibility, Mr.. Elwell said. g.
Two passengers, a man and a wo.
man, were killed instantly when a
local running 40 miles an hour crash
ed into the rear end of the Greenfield
Express, which had been stalled be-
cause of broken air hose. Two
other passengers died in hospitals to
which they were taken.
The official theory of the accident
here is that the engineer disregarded
or failed to see the cautioning signal
and could not make his brakes hold
when he came in sight of the signal.
One of the heroes of the accident was
George Tourtellette, fagman who was
sent back from the stalled train and
who stood in the path of the ap.
preaching train and frantically waved
the red flag. He stayed at his post,
and when it was impossible to escape
was run over and kined.
Many of the passengers were Yale
graduates who were returning to New
York after attending an alumni meet
ing at New Haven. ?.s ..a ~$
A freight train passing on another
track complicated the wreck. The
freight crashed into the wreckage.
Passengers were buried beneath
splintered wood and twisted steel
The boiler of the locomotive explod
I'd.
The bodies of the engineman and
fireman were found beneath the
wreckage.

NEW CORPORATION
WILL TAKE OVER
BUSINESSC0LLECE
Location of Business College Here
Will Depend on Securing
of Quarters.
FIVE MEN, INTERESTED. liz.
IN NEW PROPOSITION

The question of quarters is all that
stands in the way of opening real
business college in the capital city,
according to statement made last
night by G.. NJ. Langum, head of the
Bismarck Business College company,
tentative plans for the incorporation
of which are now being made.
Five men are back of the plan to
incorporate and enlarge the business
college, making it second to none in
the Northwest, but unless they can
find suitable quarters in the capital
city, they will be forced to locate
elsewhere or drop their plans. The
quarters must be large enough to pro-
vide school room and also dormitory
quarters for the students.
Five men are back of the scheme !:
C. NJ. Langum, Prof. C. l.. Vigness,
county superintendent; Prof. r. H.
Boyd and Prof. James +. Pearcy.
The fifth man in the organization
does not wish his name made public.
The company will be capitalized for
$4,000, of which amount $4,000 has
already been subscribed. They will
take over the present Bismarck Busi-
ness college, operated by Mr.. Lang
um, and will enlarge the scope Of it's
work. ......
Normal Department.
A music and normal department
will be added to the curriculum of
the school, in addition to courses in
shorthand, commercial courses of all
kinds, elementary English and teleg-
raphy.
The organizers state that within a
year, if quarters can be secured here,
they will have between 400 and 800
students enrolled. Mr.. Langum at
present has 95 enrolled in the Bis
marck Business college, and he open
ed the school late in the season, and
has been handicapped by lack Of room
since he started. His quarters are
more than overcrowded at the pres
ent time.

PRESIDENT WILSON
DISCUSSING PEACE TERMS

President Wilson last week APP
pealed to the nations at war to dis
cuss terms of peace. In official
notes sent to the belligerents and
all neutrals he did not propose
peace or offer mediation, but called
for an avowal of their respective
views on the subject. President
Wilson's action came as surprise
to official Washington and the for
eign diplomatic corps. The note
was submitted TO the Presidents
advisors and dispatched Tuesday.
Representatives of Teutonic Pow
ers in Washington welcomed the
latest move ON the part of the
United States, but Entente diplo-
mats were not so hopeful that the
action of the Chief Executive
would lead to any definite result.
