have been taken from the Malone
street tunnel" on the Brighton Beach
lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, where a five-car train run
ming at terrific speed jumped the rails
on a curve and struck the side wall
with such force that the first a was
demolished and the others buckled un-
til they were damned against the roof
of the tunnel.
Passengers Numbered 900.
The train carried nearly 900 passen.
gers. Rescue workers declared they
believed more bodies were buried I'M
der the wreckage and that the death
list of men, women and children might
reach 100.
Probably twice that many were in
jured, many of them seriously.
District Attorney Lewis of Kings
county declared the accident was due
to recklessness on the part of the mo-
torman, who had been employed as a
train dispatcher and was pressed into
service because of the strike which
went into effect after the company had,
refused to reinstate 20 discharged
union employees. y
Motorman Declared Missing.
1.-THE motorman is gone," Mr.. Lewis
said. "The claim adjusting depart
ment appears to have kidnapped him"
Mr.. Lewis said warrants would be
issued for the arrest of all corporation
officials who could be held responsible.
An investigation of the wreck is in
progress. The Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit company had made no statement
concerning the wreck.
The wrecked train was packed to the
gates with home-going men, women
and children.
Hours after the accident it was diff
cult to determine exactly how it hap
pened.
The crash came in a dark tunnel and
the hysterical survivors were unable
to give coherent accounts of their ex-
periences. Many of them insisted that
a second train had ploughed into the
rear of the one which had carried
them.
This was the theory of District At
torney Lewis until he had carefully
sifted the evidence at hand. He finally
determined, however, that only one
train was involved.
Dangerous Speed Alleged.
Mr.. Lewis and the police asserted
that the train was running fully 40
miles an hour when it took the curve,
and plunged into the concrete side
wall of the tunnel.
1t was declared that only a motor
man thoroughly familiar with the line
| could have negotiated the curve safely,
even at moderate speed. When the
first car jumped the track it side
sWiped the west wall and ran along
the ties for nearly 100 feet. The cars
behind crashed through it, then
buckled against the rail and then fell.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
Similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.

tory of corporate enterprise this
try has known.
How often 1 have wished President
Wilson could find a man of equal cour-
age to grapple with the German spy
problem That Gowen was finally as
sassInated by the "Mollies" appears
certain. His death at a small hotel 10
Pennsylvania is not explainable from
natural causes But he did the work
of Kidding the country of as desperate a
band Of thugs and c%ut-throats as this
republic has known until the Teutonic
brand war imposed upon us, weighted
with Potsdam gold.
My special purpose IN recalling
Governs career was chiefly to call at
tention to his ability as a vender OF Sc
curities. 1t would be fortunate for u
chiefs of Government finance to study
his methods, in the hope of devising a
sure means of fiotstion for the third
and most d%ificultof the Liberty Loans.
The suggestion coming from Eng
land that a lottery feature be tackled
upon the proposed issue is not likely to
be popular. France has f1oated many
of her bonds for special enterprises,
such as the Suez Canal for example,
by promises of REDEEM ption at double or
treble the face values Of b ,nds bearing
numbers to be drawn aud called at
fixed intervals.
A decided prejudice exists in this
country against all forms of lotteries.
They are sanctioned at church fairs,
but if a thrifty faker starts a "wheel of
fortune" at a county barbecue he lands
in the village c~alaboose. Prejudice is
one of the mean traits of human ma
tnre. A man with a wooden stump
nee complained to me of the prejud-
ice in favor of two legs.
Great Britain has practically adopt
ed the French lottery idea, but has
"camouf1aged" under the name of
''premium bonds.n One is reminded
of the rich old uncle in Sheridan's
1.-THE School for Scandal" who under
the name of mr. Premium" attends
an auction of The effects OF his scape-
grace nephew, but cannot induce the
young blade to part with a portrait of
the uncle. He will sell anything else,
but not that canvas. The British plan
is to award pr.zes to the holders of
bonds bearing certain numbers-not to
redeem them, but to pay the holders to
keep them, 1t is a distinction from the
French plan without any great differ
ence. Our Colonial ancestors when
they started this republic needed mon
ey very badly and did not hesitate 10
establish a national lottery. The plan
worked when nothing else would have
been successful. The usual charges of
fraud were made against the managers,
hut it probably was as honest as such
games generally are. A
Leopold A. Price, afterward q
wealthy grocer of Bordeaux, drew
$100, 900 in the Havana lottery when he
lived at the Cuban capital as a news-1
paper correspondent. His is the only
authentic case of lottery enrichment
that has come to my personal know

bark in the lottery business. an assur-
ance of absolute fairness and honesty
