CATTLE HERD CAUSE
OF WRECK AND FIRE
FOUR CARS OF GASOLINE IG-
MITE, AND TEN FREIGHT
CARE ARE DESTROYED.

M'RAE, Ga.-A spectacular train
wreck followed by a fire which threat
ened to burn Scotland, Ga, to the
ground was caused when a herd OF
cattle wandered into the path OF a
Southern fast freight train from Bruins
wick to Atlanta. No one was injured
Ten freight cars were destroyed
Casualties among the cattle have not
vet been estimated Four cars of gas
oline caught fire, thus igniting two car
loads of oil, two of merchandise, one
of tobacco and one of cotton ties.
Heroic work by citizens OF Scotland
prevented the blazing freight cars and
flaming gasoline from destroying the
Scotland station, and burning up the
other buildings OF the town.
The train crew reported that they
were going at their regular rate OF
speed when the locomotive dove
straight into the middle of large herd
OF night-roaming cattle.
There was gruesome sound, toi-
lowed by a terrific humping crash as
the cars behind the locomotive lett the
rails and turned over
Almost Immediately the gasoline
cars caught fire. In a few minutes II
seemed as ii the entire tram and the
whole town would be swallowed UP
by the towering flames. There were
few explosions, however.
Piling out of their beds residents
of the town dressed in the first gar
ments that came to hand and rushed
out to see what was the matter. With
out delay they began to help the
struggling train crew TO save the cars
not vet reached by the blaze. Others
threw water on the station roof and
other buildings threatened by flying
sparks.
Several trains had to be detoured
around the scene OF the wreck during
the day.

HAVE BEEN 10 YEARS
OF INDUSTRIAL STRIKES
DECADE SHOWS MORE TROU.
BILE THAN PRECEDING
QUARTER CENTURY.

In the decade ending at midnight
on Dec. 81 next it is estimated that
the number OF strikes and lockouts
that disturbed industrial America dur
ing that period will have exceeded
more than 10000 or 1000 more than
took place in the quarter OF century
from 1881 to 1906, inclusive. These
industrial disturbances, which have
meant hardship and suffering not only
for the participants but also Tor the
public. have involved millions OF men
and women. The loss in wages, II
available, would total a staggering
sum, and the price paid by industry,
Il # could be measured in dollars,
would approximate the war debt OF a
FIRST class power
Statistics on file in the department
OF labor ins Washington show that be
tween Ian. |, 1918, and Dec. 81, last,
the number Of strikes and lOckouts was
about 23,100 and by the end OF the
wear the number will have passed 20
600. In the Is years prior to and in
GLIDING 1906 the total number OF
strikes and lockouts was 25,353 and
the number OF persons involved about
6.715000. The total number OF persons
involved in the 10000 strikes in the
last ten wears will be in the neighbour
hood OF 100000.
Seven States Lead.
OF the more than $4,000 strikes in
the nine-vear period that ended Dec.
81 last more than $4,000 were in sew
en- states, New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts,, Illinois, Ohio, New
Jersey and Connecticut. Before the
new year the total for these seven IN
dustrial commonwealth is expected
to be we'll beyond the $4,000 mark.
The steel strike of 1919 illustrates
the impossibility OF estimating the ex-
act effectiveness OF strike, so tar as
the general public is concerned. On
Sept. p, 1919 the first day OF the steel
strike the union leaders announced
that 10000 men had obeyed the order
to quit work, and by Oct. the an
nouncement was made that the num-
Der had gradually swelled to $4,000.
Officials of the steel corporation as
serted that the figures were more than
so per cent in excess of the actual num-
Der who had quit work.
Millions Lost in Wages.
The wage losses caused by that bat
tie between capital and labor have
been variously estimated at from less
than $5O,0OO,6OO to $25O,OOOOOO. That
was just one 1919 strike. There were
six others involving upward OF l0O,-
600 persons. 1t is certain that wage
losses from strikes in the last ten years
would mount into billions OF dollars,
but it is impossible to give anything
approaching an accurate estimate I'M
less the time books of every concern
affected in every part of the country
were available.
The largest number OF strikes called
during the last six years affected the
building trades and Numbered 200.
The metal trades Union accounted for
more than 1000; the clothing indus
try for 1000; the miners for about
l,400, and the textile unions for l.
$50. Union estimates say 100000
men are now idle.

beaten about the head, and her, arms
and breast were badly lacerated. Her
condition is not serious:
According to Mrs. O'Hearn she was
walking along a pathway through the
woods near the Taylor store, when
she heard the command, You stay
there!" ....o
Looking up she saw a large negro,
= good description of whom she tur-

was only a short distance away and
was coming up behind her.

be continued until Sept. 80. A large
amount of clothing also has been dis

ing HAIRS as symbols OF Good Luck.
LONDON.-Lond zoo authorities
today were forced to take action to
prevent spectators, guards and attend
ants from pluckmg hairs OF OF eIe-
phants as good luck symbols. Inc
mead keeper recently noticed that the
elephants tails were denuded and that
they were whiskerless and blinking
because their eyelashes were gone.
Investigation showed that girls and
women offered a few shillings apiece
for elephants hairs, the kind-hearted
attendants supplying them as lucra
tive business. Many women wear long
thick hairs the size of rat tails as
bracelets, and smaller ones as rings,
sometimes encased in platinum and
gold, believing the hairs are guaran

NO Time FOR CAMPAIGN
Harry Mcclure, Candidate for Super
intendent, Busy With School Work.


Harry Mcclure, Democratic candi-
dates for state school superintendent,
is said by his friends to be taking so
much interest in his new consolidated
memorial high school at Florence that
he is having a hard job finding time
to make a campaign.
Mcclure, as superintendent, has the
largest consolidated school in the east
half of Kansas and just this month
he has completed plans whereby there
is in operation in the one building a
six-year high school and six years in
the grade work. In the high school
proper, which is the upper six grades,
there are 225 pupils and in working
out the new arrangement plans have
been made for handling $50 students.
The school has seventeen teachers
and operates seven motor buses
which convey the STUDENTS to the
school. The district supporting the
school has an assessed valuation of
more than $S,000,000 and comprises
twenty-seven square miles.
Mcclure says it is his ambition to
make this one of the most efficient
and best consolidated schools in the
entire country.
IF 1 am not elected state superin-
tendent, 1 will still have a big job
ON my hands," he said. 81 will have
one of the best sections of Kansas in
which to work and I will have
chance to show what I can do with
big project such as our school now
is"
Mcclure came to Florence from
for six years. Previous to that he
was superintendent at Valley Falls
and taught in Norton in the county
high school.

KAGY RETURNS TO KANSAS
Minister TO Finland Home on Sixty
Days Leave OF Absence.

lays NOGdNc VI ADSSuCSs ~ r
Charles L. Kagy. of Beloit, United
States minister to Finland, simply
couldn't stay in Europe during the
entire campaign in his home state.
So he is home for a months visit in
Kansas. He has a sixty days leave of
absence.
Kagy, who has for a number of
years been one of the most prominent
lawyers in western Kansas, was ap-
pointed a year ago as minister to
Finland. 4Ie has been stationed at
Helsingfors, the gateway to Soviet
Russia and such business as has act
ually been transacted with Russia
found its natural way thru Helsings
fors. Kagy is highly pleased with his
new work, but the temptation|to come
home for a few weeks was simply too
great.
Naturally the minister to Finland is
not making public discussions of
European political situations. How
ever, he pointed to the fact that the
United States might offer up little
thanksgiving to the effect that this
country gently stepped around the
league of nations-and particularly
the Armenian mandate.
Did you ever stop to think" kagy
said in talking with some friends in
Topeka, that if we had joined the
league of nations we should have had
the Armenian mandate and also it
was planned to place our troops in
charge at Constantinople. Wouldn't
it have placed us in a pretty predica-
Tnent?"

C. OF C. TO HELP TEACHERS
Registration and Information Bureaus
Will Be in State House.


The arrangements for the registra-
ton of teachers in Topeka for the an
nuaI convention of the State Teach
ers' association, this year. will vary
from the plans of previous years, G.
C. Sickler, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, which will entertain the
pedagogues, announced today.
The registration bureau, informa-
ton bureau, and bureau for the as
signment of rooms to visiting teach
ers, as we'll as check stands, will all
be located on the street floor of the
state house, instead of on the second
floor as in past years.
The Chamber of Commerce auto
mobiles which will take the teachers
to the state house from the railway
stations will take them to the north
door, under the arches.
There they will be met by boy
scouts, who will handle their baggage,
and either check it for them, or carry
it thru the state house for them. The
boy scouts will be prepared to give
any information or assistance for
which the teachers may ask.
On the main floor of the building
the teachers will be registered at the
bureau of their own association. Rep
resentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce will find rooms for them, and
assign them thereto. An information
bureau in the same location will give
them any information they may de-
sire, and check stands will care for
their luggage, free of charge, if they
wish it.
The teachers will proceed straight
down the line and having finished
their registration, if they wish to go
at once to their rooms, will find au-
tomobiles, driven by members of the
Chamber of Commerce, waiting under
the arches at the south side of the
state house, to carry them to their
destinations.
