ONE MAN is KILLED
40 HURT IN | CRASH
New York Elevated Cars Are
TeIesCOped in Rear-End
Collision

New York. - One man was killed
and 40 persons injured, some serious
ly, when southbound train on the
Ninth Avenue Elevated Railroad
crashed into the rear end of stalled
train at Fortieth street
The motorman of the rear train
pulled out of the Forty-second street
station apparently thinking that the
train ahead Of him was in motion. He
tried to apply the brakes. but, accord
ing to his account, they failed to
work
The impact was terrific. The first
two cars OF the moving train were OF
wood, the last two of metal, and all
four cars of the stationary train were
metal The two light wooden cars
of the moving train were crushed be-
tween the heavy cars at either end of
them.
The passengers in both trains were
thrown from their seats. Those in
the steel cars escaped with shock and
slight injuries. Those in the wooden
cars were thrown into a mass of
wreckage.
Women were screaming and injured
men moaning in the two destroyed
cars. The only light was from street
lamps and from windows of adjoining
houses. A few men wriggled loose
and felt their way through splinters
which filled the car like a cane-brake
to windows and doors, but these were
too badly obstructed to permit a way
out

gravely i'll, his death was described
as sudden.
Except for his nurses and physician,
the Pennsylvania senator, long a pow

alone in his large apartment on the
top floor of a hotel overlooking the
city when he passed away. Up to with

Senator Penrose had been holding
his seat in the Senate since 1897. He

FRENCH ACCEPT
LIMIT ON U-BOATS
Agree in Principle to American
Plan Barring Use Against
Merchant Ships
BRITISH BEHIND PROPOSAL
Reserve Final Approval Pending Dis,
cussion of Precise Language of Dec
laration, In Which Definition
Of Rules May Be Asked.

Washington, ID. c. The American
proposal to prohibit use of submarines
against merchant vessels. now the pre-
dominant issue of the arms negotia-
tions, has been accepted in principle
by France, but her delegates have re-
served final approval pending a dis
cussion of the precise language of the
declaration.
British acceptance previously has
been given, and although neither the
Italians nor the Japanese had receiv-
ed final instructions, there were indi-
cations that neither Rome nor Toxic
would interpose serious objection If
the proposal received Frances full ap-
proval
The exact nature of the French res
ervation was not revealed, but the i'm
preston was gathered in some quar-
ters that it might concern such a def
milton of the terms of the declaration
as would make it clear just what con-
duct would be expected from mer-
chantmen in view of their immunity
from submarine attack.
The French delegation, however. in
making known it's acceptance in prin-
ciple, has emphasized that France not
only agrees to the original proposal
OF Elihu Root that the new prohibit
ton on submarine warfare become eff
fective when all nations have agreed
to 1t, but also to the amendment OF
Arthur j. Balfour, which would make
the prohibition Immediately effective
as between the five great powers.
AT the same time the French have
accepted the additional Root declara-
tion under which any submarine COM
mander violating the rules of interna-
tional law would be liable to trial for
an act of piracy.
