EXTEND TIME
 FOR SENDING SOLDIERS GIFTS

An extension of time to Nov 30 has been given for sending Christmas parcels to soldiers in the American Expeditionary Forces. This has been announced at the Atlantic Division Headquarters of the American Red Cross.
 It has been found that, up to this time, there have been many instances in which the nearest relative of a member of the American Expedition ary Forces has not received a label from the man overseas.
 The Red Cross has been furnished by the War Department with sup ply of additional labels, unaddressed, which will be given to the nearest relatives of a member of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces who do not receive label on or before Nov 20, Gone label only for each soldier) upon application to .--e Red Cross. Such application must be made by the nearest relative of the man and must state that such relative has not received a label, that no other parcel is being sent to his knowledge to pro- posed recipient, and that if a label is subsequently, received it will not | be used.
 The regulation that only one l Christmas parcel may be received by each soldier in Europe is still in l force In giving out. these labels the Red Cross will permit only one label | for a soldier.
 | The carton for the parcel must be obtained from the Red Cross and when packed must not weigh more | than three pounds. It must be in spected by the Red Cross and after l postage is affixed sufficient to carry

it at Parcel Post rates to Hoboken, N. J., it must be sealed and delivered by the Red Cross to the post office authorities
 Christmas parcels for individuals serving in the Red Cross, Young Mems Christian Association, Knights of Columbus and other organizations working in connection with the American Expeditionary Forces may be mailed to such individuals (cne parcel only for each war worker) provided the nearest relative makes an application to the ked Cross and obtains a carton, returning it to the Red Cross for inspection, etc, as in the case of parcels for members of the American Expeditionary Forces.
 Applications for such labels may be made at Red Cross Headquarters, Seaside Institute, Lafayette and At lantic streets, on Monday, Nov. 25, and parcels may be returned to the same place on Friday, Nov. 29. These are the only days the department will be open during Thanksgiving week.

Big Train, Crash

Houston, Tex, Jan. 14.-Sixteen per-
sons are reported to have been killed
and more than a dozen injured when
a Houston and Texas Central north
bound passenger train from Houston
to Dallas split switch at Hammond
early today. Reports Of the accident
from Bremond, said five soldiers, one
woman, two girls and baby were in
stantly killed and one injured man
died shortly afterward.
The train left here at 1880 last
night. The wreck occurred when the
head end coach split switch and
several cars were overturned.
Twelve or fourteen dead and posi-
bly, twelve injured" was a report re-
ceived by the Southern Pacific gen.
eral Offices from its dispatcher at
Hearne, who reported that portion
Of the train crashed into freight en-
CINE and caboose, standing on the sid
ing.
The steam pipes of the freight en-
CINE are said to have broken, scald-
ing the passengers, thus accounting
for the large number of dead and in
jured.
Five additional bodies were later
reported found in the ruins of the sec
ond steel coach. No identifications
have yet been definitely made

Takes Dun, Life;
IsAxMurderer?

Camp Funston, Kan, Jan. IA
Search FOR the canvas sack containing
the money Captain Lewis R. Whistler
is supposed to have obtained when he
robbed the army bank here Friday
night and killed four men with an ak
and seriously wounded fifth, contin-
ued today. The authorities are work.
ing upon the theory that the army Of
ficer, who killed himself a few hours
after the murders were discovered,
may have had an accomplice who fled
from the camp in a motor car after
the money had been entrusted to him.
just how much money Captain Whis-
Ter obtained was still a matter of con-
lecture today, and it was said by Off
Gals that it might be several days
before the checking up could be COM
pleted. Estimates varied from SCI, 900
to $4,000.

cashier of the bank, the only survivor
of the tragedy, is believed by attend

Daniel Willard
Objects to New
Muniti0nsHead'

Washington, Jan. 14.-Daniel Will
lard, chairman of the war industries
board, today testified in the senate
military committees war inquiry that
he had advocated creation of gov
eminent minister of munitions, but
now was in favor Of trying out the
new war department reorganization.
Mr.. Willard, the first witness today,
reminded the committee that when the
advisory commission of the council of
national defense was organized it was
regarded as peace organization form
ed to secure industrial information for
use in case of war. 1t was largely
voluntary and had no legal standing.
dered very valuable assistance, es-
pecially the supplies commission Of
Mr.. Rpsenow.
The chief purposes Of the war indus
tries board Mr.. Willard stated as fol-
lows:
"To prevent unnecessary competi-
ton between government agencies; to
determine questions of priority; to
discover sources Of supply and produc-

did it work out satisfactorily?
asked Senator Weeks.
Il don't think it worked satisfac-
torily," Mr.. Willard replied lit was
not perfect. But it worked better than,
l think. is generally supposed. I'm
doubtedly mistakes were made, but on
the whole l think the accomplishments
were creditable under all the circum-
stances"
Lack of coordination between var
ious government agencies was gen
orally recognized" MIR. Willard said,
but he thought it was to be expected,
with 10 or IL or more separate pur-
chasing agencies.
The war department reorganization
with it's change in purchasing Mr..
Willard declared Infinitely better
than that of six months ago.
II am distinctly in favor Of what
the secretary of war has done SO far, .
he said Putting the army purchas-
ing departments on the most efficient
basis is what is being done. / am in
full sympathy with the character OF
the organization"
Mr.. Willard said he first favored the
establishment of minister of NUM-
tons, but Secretary Baker asked him
to keep his mind open until he con-
sidered reorganization plans.
Il had very little confidence at
first" Mr.. Willard said, that we could
make the war department reorganiza-
ton work" With men like General
Goethals at the head of the army &C
tiyities. however, Mr.. Willard said he
believed it would be operated effici-
emily.
Army and navy supply coordination
he thought, could be effected under
the plan submitted by Secretary Ba-
ker
SIT has one fault" said Mr.. Willard
at is a good plan and can be made to
work, but after all it is purely volun-
tary. If everyone cooperates, 1t will
work. It is weak there and something
may be necessary to make it work"
Instead of the war industries board
being the head of the new organiza-
ton, Mr.. Willard suggested that one
man, with authority from the presi-
dent to decide differences between var
ions departments, would bear better
! efficiency

AGAIN FACE TRIAL

Chief of Police c. c. Healey and his
co-defendants we're acquitted OF graft
charges by jury which reported here
last Saturday, it was said at the states

OF the other indictments against him.

trial would be ON charge OF accept
ing money for promoting police SER
geants to be ieutenanfs. Eight OF
these lieutenants are said to have con-
fessed that they paid from $500 to $500
for their promotions.

It was said a steamer which had
picked up the Texans S. O. S. calls,
was hurrying to her assistance and
that the crew Of 43 had taken to the
boats.
a cargo OF nitrates bound for French
port, agents of the vessel stated.
Messages reaching here from anoth-
er port said a steamer arriving there
today reported that at a. m. she
picked up an S. o. S. from the Texan
reporting that she had been struck
amidships and was sinking. The last
message from the Texan said, Good
5ye-no more"
43 Men Aboard.
The messages did not give the To-
cation of the ship. There were 43
men aboard. The Texans wireless
operator reported that the starboard
boats had been lowered. that the aft
boat was lost and that an attempt was
being made /, lower the forward boat
Oil from the ships hold was poured
on the starboard side in an effort to
make sea conditions better for launch
ing the lifeboats.
The ship which brought word Of the
Texans plight reported that she had
endeavored to get in touch with the
i latter direct but had not been able to
: do so. The vessel picked up mes
sage to or from the steamer William
cite, saying:
GO to assistance of Team"
Sunk BY Iceberg!
In the absence Of definite word re-
garding the accident, shipping men ex-
pressed the opinion that the Texan
may have encountered an iceberg. Eff
forts we're made by government RADIO
stations to communicate with ships
with which the Texan might have been
in collision. The fact that the Texan
apparently was sinking soon after be-
ing rammed. without word as to as.
sistance by another vessel, in saving
the crew, made the accident >puzzling
naval authorities said.
The Texan is commanded by Cap
tain G. B. Knight. She was requisi-
toned by the government from the
American Hawaiian line. for which
she was built in 1902. She measures
S,615 tons gross tonnage, $4,000 tons
dead weight.
"Will You Escort Me?1
A government radio station picked
up message later from the steamer
Willamette, sent to an unidentified
ship. saying: will you escort me
back to -"
! The answer was not Ineligible
Naval authorities who got the mes
sage said they were unable to determ.
inc whether the Willamette had been
in collision with the Texan or had
been damaged by the same agency that

ling more had been head of the Texan
at noon.

belonged to fleet passing north. That

Germ as to the actual cause of their
