FIVE MEN DEAD
MANY INJURED
IN ILLINOIS CENTRAL WRECK
NEAR WATERLOO.
TRAIN DITCHED IN WASH0UT
Omaha Passenger Plunges Into Beav
err Creek, Swollen by the Flood.
Engine and Three Cars Are
Wrecked.

Waterloo, Ia, May 29.-Five per-
sons were killed and a score or more
injured when an Illinois Central pas
sanger train Number II west bound
from Chicago to Omaha was wrecked
near here today.
The wreck occurred at the APP
proach of the bridge over Beaver
Creek. The track was weakened by
the high waters.
The locomotive, mail car and sever
al other cars turned over when the
wash-out was hit
List of Dead
The identified dead are:
W. H. Alder, engineer.
A. f. GilvineauX. fireman.
J. ]. Rae, postal mail clerk of Du-
buque.
Two other railroad mail clerks
who are unidentified are known to be
dead
Rae, who suffered a fractured skull
and internal injuries, died in a hos
pital.
Cause of Wreck.
The train was running only at a
moderate rate of speed when the
wash-out was struck. Had the train
been travelling at a higher rate OF
speed, other coaches would have gone
over the bank and probably the loss
of life would have been much greater
d.. Cause of Wreck.
High waters at Beaver Creek are
believed to have weakened the bridge
which caused the wreck.
The train was west bound from
Chicago to Omaha and carried many
passengers.

CLINE OUT BOXES DENVER MAN
A New York Aspirant For Light
Weight Honors Defeats Benny
Leonard at Des Moines.

Des Moines. May 29.-Patsy Cline,
New York Irishman and a strong
contender for the lightweight cham
piOnship held by Benny Leonard, gave
Jimmy Hanlon of Denver a boxing
lesson in twelve rounds in the main
event of an athletic show arranged
by Tommy Ryan, local promoter, at
the coliseum last night.
Hanlon was out of his class when
he stacked up against the easterner.
The Denver Italian was OutClassed in
every round of the twelve the two
boys were in the ring and at that
Cline never extended himself to do
the work.
1t may be said that Jimmy tried
hard to make a good fight Of it but
Cline had too much class for the Den
yer battler. In nearly every round
Cline hit his opponent at will with left
jabs, and right crosses.
Cline a Clever Boxer.
Hanlon had difficulty in sending
home blows. He aimed time and again
at Cline's face or head but the latter
always ducked and the blows went
wild. The easterner bobbed his head
up and down or sideways to evade
blows that Hanlon attempted to send
home.
Harry Pollocks boxer lived up to
the advance dope for he looked like
the real thing. He had a great defense
and guarded beautifully. In the
clinches he locked his opponents
arms and Hanlon was unable to dc
any damage at this style of fighting

Fierce fighting is going on all
auong the entire front.
On the left the French have
apparently withdrawn from the

the Echo De Paris today declared
that the Germans at some points
had attained maximum penetra-
ton of exactly fifteen and one
half miles
Picardy Front-Following the
capture OF Cantigny by the
American troops and taking more
than one hundred and eighty
eight German prisoners, they re-
pulsed two successive German at
tacks
Western Front-In general Al
lied military officials according to
United States Staff dispatches
this afternoon declare that the
Rheims attack was a part of the
German general offensive scheme.
Before the start of the big Of
fensive on March 81, the Germans
concentrated huge forces at a
point behind the lines where they
could strike against Amiens and
Rheims. -
Checked in the former attack,
the enemy is now striking at
Rheims.
Enormous masses of German
troops are concentrated in the
center of this front and il is be-
leVed that the Aisne assault may
only be a colossal feint to draw
the allied reserves to that place.
If this strategy is successful the
allied officials believe that the
Germans will again strike at
Amiens. The Americans around
Montdidier and Hangard Woods
would thus be at the apex of
the main enemy attack.

CALLED IN GODSOL CASE.
Justice Delehanty Questions Author
ity for Selling Papers.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE author
ity by which Alfred L. Becker, a dep
uty state attorney general. seized pa
pers and other records from the Offices
of the Alliance Motor Corporation in
this city last week, was questioned by
Justice Delehanty in supreme court to-
day, when Becker appeared in answer
to a court order to show cause why
he should not be restrained from
further examination of the papers.
The seizure was made in connection
with the arrest in Washington of
Frank J. Godsol or Goidsoll, accused
of profiteering in French government
automobile contracts
The matter of making permanent a
temporary order, granted in Washing
ton. restraining the state authorities
from further examination of the pa
pers were held in allegiance pending the
courts examination of affidavitS filed
by Becker.
The Alliance Motors Corporation is
alleged to have been the agency
through which Godsol delivered Ameri-
can-made automobiles to the French
government authorities under contracts
said to have Melted him profits of from
S3.5o0,000 to $4,000, 900
After listening to argument by John
B. Stanchfield, counsel for Godsol, JUS
tice Delehanty said that if the facts
were as related by him the seizure was
made without authority and consti-
tuted an invasion of his constitutional
rights.

ADOPTED CITIES.
By DR., FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1851

Out of the mud springs the lotus
flower. says the orientals; out Of
clay come gold and diamonds; out of
oysters. pearls; brightest silks are
spun from a worm; be-Jar comes from
the bull, and musk from the deer;
from a dry stick is born fame, and
from the jungle comes honey.
So out of this war. with its abomina-
ton of destruction and its supreme
moral filth, its excess in pain and
cruelty, come. after all. some beauti-
full and pure things, as hyaGjnths from
rotting mold.
And one of the most fragrant and
delightful flowers of human activity Is
the plan for certain American to adopt
certain French cities
We. so prosperous and untouched OF
wars horror. reach out to our sister
republic eager hands to help.
It is proposed that each city de-
st-oved by the Hun in France be
adopted by some city in the United
States, and that thus homes. churches
and civic edffices be rebuilt. orchards
replanted and fields and farms be made
to smile again.
Doubtless the scheme will be ex-
banded to include Belgium, when the
invader is driven out
Mrs Cecile Sartoris, wife of a grand
son of Gen. Grant. has interested her
self in this enterprise. She, with other
volunteer workers, has visited the de-
vastated regions OF France, and has
returned to this country to enlist the
Sympathetic aid of our cities
An American city is to adopt Il
French city and undertake to help her
stricken sister in the work of recon-
struction. Already Detroit has chosen
scissors. Chicago has adopted Rheims
and Washington has taken on Noyon
The idea is not only sound and
practical, but it is an exquisite
gesture of humanity.
1t is the protest OF divine unselfish-
ness against brute SelfiSnnesS of the
cen structiveness of democracy against
the destructiveness of autocracy, Of
race-iove against race hate, of civiiiZa-
ton against barbarism. of the passion
to help against the passion to hurt and
destroy.
1t is the insuppressible impulse of
human nature, in the face OF inhuInan
ferocity.
1t will knit the strands CT affection
between France and America so firmly
that never. to the end of time, can any
evil genius sever Them.
The work has heen Endorsed by a
com u.ittee of distinguished Frenchmen
in high station. and an equally SUBJ
stantial committee of Americans, in
