Moulton, Dec. 2o.-The little town OF
Moulton. has demonstrated its ability
to handle the influenza epidemic. This
has been accomplished thru the CO.
operation Of the different municipal or
CARNATIONS Of the place.
When the state board OF health put
the lid on the state there was not
case of influenza in Muulton. but as
the result Of the lid and the non-re-
striction OF travel from infested places
nearly a dozen cases developed with
the Id on.
When the lid was lifted the cases
being on the increase to a slight
amount. Superintendent Long. Of the
local schools, suggested and agreed
IN conjunction with the mayor that the
teachers report all absentees to the
local board of health. Where the alb
sence was caused thru sickness In the
family il was investigated. II the
symptoms of influenza manifested
themselves a yellow card was placed
CT the house and the state regulations
in regard TO contagious diseases were
strictly enforced.
In the meantime the progressive
physicians of the town were utilizing
TO good advantage the serum for the
disease and were inoculating hundreds
OF people. While il is true that the f!o
has been on again for a week and half
L was due 10 caution on the part OF the
local board of health owing to the large
number OF people who had this disease
in light form.
1t will be seen from the fact that out
of l2o high school pupils only two
failed to report for home work which
has been given during the week Of the
lid. that the epidemic had failed to get
grip on the community. This is due
Mayor Bovard and Superintendent
Long in seeking to control the disease.
While other communities have been
doubling the efficiency OF incubation
Drs. Printz and Downing have been get
ting good results. Only one fatality
has been noted since the beginning of
its use and that had developed into it's
worse stages before incubation.
The experience OF Moulton proves the
ineHiciency Of state quarantine meas
ures as at present applied where people
are allowed to travel from one district
TO another. II does prove the efficacy
Of house and family quarantine. and
it gives very good ground for belief
that the incubation for tfsss disease
has developed further than theory.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 9.-Senators de-
manding investigation on the house
resolution, authorizing the President
to take over telegraph, telephone, ca
BILE and radio lines, won a partial
victory today when the senate inter-
state commerce committee heard tes-
tirnony behind closed doors, on the
telegraph situation from President
Carleton of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. A decision regard"
ing further hearings was deferred.
The examination Of Mr.. Carleton
it was stated, was not arranged In
advance. Chairman Smith Of the
committee said the Western Union
head happened to be in Washington
and was given a hearing.
While Carleton took the position
that advisability Of the pending
LEGISLATION was doubtful, according to
committee members, he did not Wig
orously protest against enactment OF
the house resolution. He pointed out
difficulties attending government
operation and some of the members
said they gathered that he regarded
government control as unnecessary
and believed the company can sue
cessfully cope with labor difficulties.
Mr.. Carleton was said to have in
sisted that If the government takes
over the company's lines, ample pro-
vision should be made for protection

Nashville; Tenn, July 9.-Two pas
senger trains on the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis railway COLI
lided early today near Belle Meade
park in the western suburbs Of
Nashville. Telephone reports are
that 25 persons were killed and more
than so injured.
Six passenger coaches In all were
demolished and two cars OF the
through train caught fire and were
burned. WFeclIing crews and volun-
teers worked heroically in the
wreckage to rescue the injured.
The wreck occurred at T:15 o'clock,
seven miles from Nashville. Every
doctor and nurse available in the
city was rushed to the scene with
all the aInbulances.
One train was eastbound from
Memphis and st. Louis and the other
from Nashville to Memphis. Both
engines and two baggage cars were
completely wrecked. A combination
coach on the local, filled with white
and negro passengers, was ripped
from end TO end. Several coaches
were telescoped and passengers are
being cut out with difficulty.
Most Of the dead it is believed,
are negroes. AT 10 o'clock about 40
injured had reached the city hospital
and several OF the number had died.
Engineer Dave Kennedy OF No. 1, was
found under a boiler. He cannot re-
cover, it is thought. Two Pullman
