Thirteen Killed
When Street Car
Leaves Tracks

MEXICO CITY, May 15.-By the
Associated Press.)-Thirteen persons
were killed and more than seventy
injured today when a street car car
rying a holiday crowd catapulated
into a deep canyon near Santa Fe,
a small village adjacent to the CAPT
tai, after colliding with another car
at the top of the hill. Most of the
victims were women and children.
The car, filled with pleasure
seekers on their way to Desireto de
los Leones, a popular resort near
the capital, crashed head-on into a
city-bound car. The collision did
but little damage, but the car sped
backward down the incline, the
brakes failing to hold. 1t left the
rails at a sharp curve, and was
hurled into the gulley.
There were no Americans in the
party, but several Germans and 9th
er foreigners were on board. The
death list will probably be augment
ed, as many of the injured are in a
serious condition.

PRINCESS FATIMA DEPARTS
AFTER TURBULENT VISIT

borrowed $4,000 on it, several cred
itors had filed liens against the
stone, and to make matters worse,
Uncle Sam had stepped in with
big claim for duty. F'atima had ex-
pected to sell the diamond for not
less than 100000. 1t is said that she
refused $4,000 for it. Last Tuesday
it was sold at public auction and
brought $500, of which none too
princely sum the princess received
the royal residue of $136. Uncle Sam
got $1,400 in duty.
This was the last straw. After this
blow had fallen, Fatima was willing
to go, VOWing to the high heavens
that never did she care to look upon
the face of this fair land again. The
British bought her passage as an act
of friendship for the United States and
not through any love of the princess
Afghanistan technically is not Brit
ish possession, but there is a sort of
implied protectorate arrangement
which induced the state department
at Washington to suggest to the
British authorities that Fatima had
best be on her way.
Pleasant Memories
While her stay in America was
one dismal disappointment after an
other, Fatima, now aboard the lug
ger, Bombay bound, can look back
upon one or two moments Of SUI
preme happiness and achievement.
She can picture again her reception
at the White House in Washington,
where President Harding accorded
her all the Difference of her royal
ranks; she can live over again the
cordially of her welcome at the
state department, and the conster-
nation a dusky daughter of the
Orient brought to the colored messen-
gers in the corridors Of the state,
war and navy building.
She can recall the once vivid
dream she had that President Har-
ding would be delighted to give her a
huge grant of land somewhere in
the west" where she could settle
down and live a life of ease BETTING
her station. She always had heard
that America was open-handed and
welcomed the stranger within it's
gates. Fatima said she wanted to
educate her sons in America, where
opportunity knocked at every man s
door.
One by one her dreams were shat
tered. She fell into the hands of
imposters, she suffered the ignomy
Of being put out of some of our
most fashionable hotels and at length
she found herself in the teeming east
side Of New York, an object of pity
and charity.
But now, her day Of glory spent.
she has gone-gone to the engulfing
vastness that lies somewhere east of
the SueZ.

NEW HIGH MARK
MADE BY COTTON
BY ESTES DOREMUS

Memories of the 1921 bull move
ment on the New York cotton eX-
changes were recalled Monday when
all new crop deliveries passed the
2O-cent mark, establishing a new
high record for the present season.
Frenzied buying carried values up
from $3.50 to $3.50 a bale over the
previous close, So a bale over the
close of Saturday a week ago and
approximately $25 bale over the
low levels reached last March.
Atlanta spots reflected the big
bulge within a gain Of $3.50 a bale
at 1875, New York spots were up
$3.50 a bale at 21.25 and New Orleans
spots gained $40 a bale at 1880.
It was the high point for spots here
for 1922, and the highest reached
May contracts led the advance
with a gain Of $5.45 a bale and the
later deliveries We're up nearly IS
a bale over the closing figures of
Saturday.
The gain scored in New York was
the biggest for any single day this
year, by about 81 a bale. The pre-
vious record for one day was made
the first Tuesday in May when the
gain was slightly over 81 a bale.
The market opened strong on OPP
timistic Liverpool cables. sales of
10000 bales there, better conditions
in Manchester, more bad weather in
the cotton belt and sharp demand
for spots. May was the only option
to open above 20 cents and in the
first few minutes of trading was
back at it's old high of 20.35, with
distant deliveries following the ad-
vance. May later went to 20.93, July
to 20.S7, October 2O.38 and Deem
Der 2037.
There was some profit-taking aft
err the early bulge, but the market
paid little attention to the selling
pressure and consistently sought
higher levels.
Opinions of trade houses are bull
ish and the belief that the end-May
conditions figures will be discour-
aging is giving longs an opportunity
to take complete control of the
market,
another factor in the advance was
the renewed strength in foreign ex-
changes and the alarm shown by
shorts at unsettled weather in the
southwest. There was considerable
covering of short accounts in add
ton to the general scramble for long
commitments, and the active buying
Of new crop months, probably was
for foreign trade account.

Sells Famous Family Dia-
mond for a Song-Depar-
ture Is Marked by Much
Secrecy,
BY JANE COMPTON
Geased Wire Service to The Journal.l
(Cnr1-ri OH 1000 l

NEW YORK, May 13-The Prin-
cess Fatima, Sultana of Kabul, at
last has shaken the dust of America
from her royal feet. Today she is
out upon the high seas bound for
Bombay, and once in India, it will
rest entirely with herself as to
whether she will remain there or
proceed to her native land of
Afghanistan.
The princess and her three prince
ly sons, Asim, Hashim and Ahkber
Khan, slipped quietly away from
New York Wednesday on a British
freighter bound for Alexandria and
points east. About all that she took
with her in addition to the princes,
was the famous blue sapphire which
adorns the right nostril of her rath-
er prominent nose. How her numer-
Gus creditors happened to overlook
that precious stone will probably
forever remain mystery.
Fatima, who came to New York
ten short months ago in a blaze of
Oriental splendor, left dismally as
a detected deportee. There were no
ship news reporters or cheering fell
low countrymen to see her off. She
left so secretly in fact that the news
of her departure only leaked out to-
day. The British government, gent
ly urged by the American state de-
partment, arranged for her sailing,
and saw to it this time that there
was no mistake. Six weeks ago it
was arranged that Fatima should
quit our once hospitable shores, but
after she had stepped into a taxi
to go to the steamship dock, she in
structed the driver to go in the op-
posite direction. For time she dis
appeared, but soon she found it nee
essary to apply once more to the
British authorities for support.
Stone Sold Cheap
Fatima explained at the time that
she did not wish to leave this Amer
lea until her famous family diamond,
the Dayai-noor, about the size Of a
hickory nut, was disposed of. The
diamond at the time was in the GUS
tody Of the sheriff, for Fatima had

CHICAGO LABOR MEN
FACING FIRST TRIAL

CHICAGO, May 15.-Eight labor
men, indicted on murder charges in
connection with Chicago's labor war,
will have preliminary hearings to-
day before Kickham Scanlon, chief
justice Of the criminal courts.
Their attorneys have been in
istructed to ask for habeas corpus
writs, thus forcing the state, if it
wishes to hold them without bail, to
produce evidence upon which hang
ing verdicts are to be asked for the
big Three" labor leaders, big Tim
Murphys head of the Gas House
Workers uninon; Con Shea, of the
Theatrical Janitors' union, and Fred
Nader, president of the Chicago
Building Trades council. To support
their demand for release on bail, the
labor leaders will be represented by
a strong array of legal talent.
For this purpose, it is alleged by
Henry Barrett Chamberlain, Of the
Chicago crime commission, the labor
men are equipped with million-dol-
lar "slush fund"
Pole and state attorneys connect
ed with the case assert they have
sufficient evidence to warrant con
tinued confinement of the indicted
men without bail.
eve have established that those
against whom murder indictments
have been lodged actually engaged
in a conspiracy to commit crimes
out Of which killings occurred" Mr.
Chamberlain said. eve have three
astounding confessions"
Alleged illegal tactics employed by
Fred Nader in obtaining the presi
dency of the building trades coun
Gil were barred today by members OF
that organization, who asserted that
many members, said to be antagonis
tic to Nader, were kept away by
sluggers from the meeting at which
he was elected. Fewer than one
third Of the members Of the organi
zation were present when Nader
was elected, they allege. They have
not taken part in the council meet
ings since then, they declare.
The building strike scheduled by
Nader for next Monday and involving
$4,000 men, has unoff1cially beer
called off, it is said. The strike
ballot was to have been submitted
to the thirty-two allied unions Of the
city for a referendum vote.
The men were asked to go out or
a strike as a protest against the
open shop, declared in the twelve
trades blacklisted by the citizens
committee, an organization to en-
force the Lands wage award, a de
cision handed down by K. M. Ian
dis, former federal judge, then act
ing as arbiter,. which was INTENDED
to settle differences between con
tractors and members of the build
ing trades council.
None of the thirty-two unions has
voted on the question and leaders
asserted that no vote would be taker
until the council had been reorgan
liked and men of clean record put in
charge.

There has been too much use Of

Coal Co. I'VE must face the facts.
When a strike threat is made there
is a general clamor among buyers
for coal. They rush the market for

simply cannot compete with the

coal cheaper than We can mine 1t
