BRIDE UNWILLING
 FOR DR- EDMONDS
 ID TAKE SUCH RISK
Independent Church Mothers Wired Her to Release
 Him From His
 Engagement

Bellamy, September 7.-tSpe- ciaI)-Steps were taken yester? day to dissuade pr. Fl. M. Ed monds from his plan to come to Belhmy from Birmingham, 1t was learned here tonight.
 A message came to Miss Kath- ryn Allison, at whose wedding pr. Edmonds was to officiate to- night, signed by "The Mothers of the Independent Presbyterian Church." urging her to release pr. Edmonds from his engage ment to be present in case it t were necessary for him to make the zip by airplane. The mes sage added that the life of Dr. Edmonds was too valuable to them and to the children of Bir- mingham to. take such risk.
 It is stated that Miss Allison at once tried to get in touch with Dr. Edmonds by telephone. be- cause she, too, wanted him to take no unnecessary risk, eager as she was to have him present to perform her wedding cere- uony. She was unable to reach him, but according to the in formation here got in touch with L. Sevier and asked him to de- liver her message to pr. Ed monds.
 The message was apparently delivered for Dr. Edmonds called Frank J. Derby. a friend of the Allison family, and told him to urge them not to be worried in the least, that he was sure everything would be all right and that he would be there on time.
 Anxiety was very keen here until 1t was learned that pr. Ed monds had sustained no injury in his accident.

LLOYD ARRANGED
 FOR TRIP BY AIR
 FOR DR. EDMONDS
Secretary of Rotary Club Agreed to Pay S75 So He Could Speak
 Here

The conflict in pr. H. NJ. Edmonds' engagements yesterday was due to the. fact that he was scheduled to speak before the Rotary club of Bir- mingham about his European trip at o'clock and the wedding in Bellamy at which he was to offsciate was set for o'clock last night.
 There was no train which would get him to Bellamy in time, so tha. the plan was conceived of having him go by airplane and thus be able to keep both engagements
 Clarence Lloyd. secretary of the Rotary club. accordingly took up the matter of making arrangements and an agreement was made with the fly ing company to take Dr.. Edmonds for s75 which Mir. Lloyd agreed to pay.
 The distance to Bellamy is only a little more than 100 miles and 1t was thought that the trip could easily be made in less than an hour and half as the speed of the plane was ratei at about 75 or so miles an hour.

 session of the assembly despite all efforts to keep the subject off the floor by the league leaders, who feared that a serious situation might be created by such a debate. A can vas of the principal delegations shows that a large majority of the assembly is against establishing a precedent that the league may inter- fere with treaties particularly with treaties of peace.
 Dodge Monroe Doctrine Debate
 At the same time there is strong feeling that 1t Is dangerous for the prestige of the league to be able to consider questions such as raised by Bolivia in which there are features in the case that in the opinion of some delegates would seem to tus- tify arbitration. Besides most of the delegates are disinclined to welcome at this time debate in which the Monroe doctrine is invoked in a man ner which virtually calls for an in- depreciation of the leagues compe- tency in matters supposed to be coy- cred by that doctrine.

 A loud explosion preceded the wreck of the train in which I cars were damaged or destroyed, bridge demolished and nearby houses shaken. There have been number of such cases of dynamiting of it's freight trains announced by the road since a strike began last spring which resulted in union men being replaced by non-uniOn employees.

 among the trainmen who
 capped with their lives tonight,
 and was taken to . hospital here
 suffering from severe burns.
 Col. II. l.. BugE, receiver for

 merous cases of dynnmiting of
 the roads freight trains since
 the strike began that he would
 ask Governor Hardwick for

 "Engineer Morris leaves a wife , and three children. The train was in charge of Conductor w. M. Ross. .Thirteen cars were derailed and 22 cars were left standing
 on the track.
 While there has been great deal of violence on other parts of 1 our line this is the first dyna- / hitting on the Birmingham divi- sion, and it is the first fatality to occur since the tactics were inaugurated several months ago
 Much property has been dam aged and one man was pretty badly injuredd in previous al- | fairs, but this is the first time l they have caused death"

By ETHEL GILLEN

An airplane carrying Dr. Henry M. Edmonds and piloted by Maj. Jimmy Meisner, an American ace during the recent war, crashed down into the orchard of K. s. Munger at West End shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 : A wing of the plane struck large tree, which was completely uprooted. The machine was totally wrecked. Neither Dr. Edmonds nor Major Meisner received even scratch.
 Dr. Edmonds was en route to Bel lamy in Sumter county to perform marriage ceremony at o'clock.
 Without being in the least nervous or perturbed over the accident, Dr. Edmonds immedi- ateIy got into a big Packard nu- tomobiIe offered by J. D. Moore and his son. William Moore, and. with William Moore as driver, started at once for BeIlamy via Tuscaloosa and Livingston.
 A party of friends had gathered at the flying field to see the departure. The machine took the air in good shape, but just after it crossed the railroad tracks it was seen to be in trouble, and was apparently coming down, with one wing much higher than the other. The plane came down from 8 height of not more than 200 feet.
 The crash of the plane was heard for some distance around, and peo- pie appeared to come from all direc- tions
 The airpIane was completely
 demolished, but neither Dr. Ed snonds or Major Mcisner was
 hurt. This fact is due to the ef-
 ficient driving of the pilot, ac- cOrding to N. D. Henderson. vice president of the Birmingham- Chicago Aero Transportation
 company. It was explained that in coming down after the motor had gone dead, Major Meisner turned the planes wings toward tree. which broke the fall and in all probability saved the men from serious injury.
 Dr. Edmonds had two engage ments yesterday; one in Birming- ham to speak to the Rotary club and one in Bellamy, where he had prom ised to officiate at the wedding of Miss Kathryn Allison and Allen Grubbs, Jr. In order to fill both
