UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS

BELFAST, Ireland, June "a
new era is opening, King George told
the Northern Ireland (Ulster) Par
lament today in a speech formally
inaugurating this new law making
body. The speech breathed the ar
dent wish that the attempt to solve

prove successful.
The King and Queen boarded the
royal yacht at 4:4O for the return
to Holyhead.
There were no untoward incidents

to the quay.
For all who love Ireland as I do,
with all my heart, this is a profound.
ly moving occasion in Irish history"
said the King.
The King referred to the happy days
he had spent in Ireland as a midshipman
in the British Navy while he was Prince
of Wales.
4 have watched Ireland with constant
sympathy ever SINCE continued George
Il couldn't have allowed myself to give
Ireland by deputy alone my earnest
prayers and good wishes for the new era
which now is opening.
Therefore, l came in person as head
of the Empire. to inaugurate this parlia-
ment and l came with deep felt hope.
This is a great critical occasion OF
history IN the six counties-an occasion
that touches Ireland as whole and finds
an echo in the remotest parts Of the
Empire"
(The six counties referred to by ths
King are those comprising Ulster prov
ince. which is represented by the new
parliament)

FOR IRISH PEACE.
The King expressed confidence that, the
important matters entrusted to the
northern parliament would be managed
with wisdom and moderation and fair
ness and that due regard would be given

Few things are more earnestly desired
by the English speaking world than a
satisfactory solution Of the Irish prob
lem. declared the King He proceeded /;
certainly no wish IS nearer my own
heart than that every man of Irish birth,
whatever his creed, wherever his home,
should work with loyal cooperation. with
the free communities upon which tha
empire is built.
MY hopes are broader still The eyes
Of the whole empire are upon Ireland to-
day-that empire wherein many nations
and races come together, despite ancient
feuds and IN which nations have come to
birth in the lifetime OF the youngest in
this hall.
Il am emboldened by that thought to
look beyond the sorrow and anxiety
which have clouded Of late my vision

IN HEAD-ON CRASH
Twenty-Five Reported Killed in
Pennsylvania Train Wreck.
Scores of Passengers Injured
Many Burn Alive.

Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-One of the
greatest wreck disasters in the history
of the Philadelphia & Reading rail-
road occurred today when two pas
senger trains crashed headon at a
curve near Bryn Athyn.
Reports from the scene of the wreck
placed the dead as high as twenty
five. Railway terminal offices had
not compiled any statement of the
number of dead at 1 O'Clock.
The two trains crashed headon at
full speed. The impact caused one
engine to almost loop the loop. The
explosion of the boilers was heard for
miles, while the blaze of the burning
coaches lit up the countryside. Ex-
ploding gas tanks under the cars add
ed to the horror.
Trapped in Flames.
OF twenty-five passengers trapped
by the flames in the forward car OF
one train, only five escaped. The 9TH
ers were burned to death while many
stood by, powerless to help.
William Smith, conductor, of one
train, is known to be dead. Both en-
gineers and one fireman were killed.
According to George j. Campbell, of
Bryn Athyn, who was one of the first
to arrive on the scene, both trains
were running behind time and wide

which is unprotected by block signals

Small today made his first appearance
in court since his indictment last July,

him, render the indictments faulty.
