new DIVISIONS FOR
PROHIBITION WORK
Commissioner Haynes Says
Move Will Greatly Reduce
Cost of Enforcement

Washington, ID. C.-Division OF the
country into Is districts as the en-
forcement territories of the federal
force of general prohibition agents
was announced by Commissioner
Haynes. e. c. Yellowley, chief Of
general prohibition agents. will be in
direct charge of the districts.
Each of the divisions, Haynes said.
will be in charge of divisional chief,
who will be under direct control of
the prohibition commissioner acting
through Mr.. Yellowley. BY April /,
he added, it is expected there will
have been complete reallocation of
the general aggregate force.
"The force of general prohibition
agents" he sid, under the direction
Of divisional chiefs, will not IN any
manner be a part of the forces work
ing under the supervision of federal
prohibition directors, but will be a
separate and distinct organization
wholly under the control of the prohi-
bition commissioner OF course, it is
understood, that the purpose is that
the work of these men shall supple
ment the work OF the field forces OPP
Grating under the direction OF the
state directors and will be great aid
to the respective directors in their
work
ALSO one OF the chief objects Of
this newly announced plan is to get
the largest possible measure of econ
omy in the operation of this force 1t
will materially reduce travelling ex-
penses and other expenses incidental
to these agents operations, inasmuch
as the investigation trips will be cir.
cumscribed by a definite boundary
rather than covering large scopes Of

PASSENGER COACH

Seven Are Killed and Sixteen
Injured When Car PIunges
Fifty Feet

Atlanta, Ga. - Seven persons were
killed and 16 injured when a passen-
ger coach on the Atlanta Birmingham
e Atlantic Railroad was derailed near
Union City. The car went off a tres
tie and fell so feet
Thirty persons were in the coach,
the last of the train, when one Of the
wheels burst. The trestle was reach
ed and almost crossed, when the car
suddenly turned over, tearing away
from the one ahead as it fell to the
shallow creek.
A graphic description of the wreck
was given by H. F. Hentz, who es-
capped without injury.
An irregular motion of the car just
before the trestle was reached was
the first indication that something
was wrong, he said.
About five seconds later" contin-
ued Mr.. Hentz, 1--WE suddenly plunged
backward into space. A crash follow
ed and there were screams from all
portions of the car.
"Those Of us who occupied the
front section. when we regained our
senses, looked for an avenue to es-
cape. An opening was found through
the front door. 1 managed to assist
the three women who were with me
through the opening and then return
ed to help the others. One young
man, apparently crushed, was the
first person l found He refused to
let me help him, but urged me to as

there calmly smoking a cigaret, as if
nothing had occurred. l learned later
this young man was William Cope, a
newspaper man.

The fire for a time threatened to
assume virtually unlimited proper

out on a series of 10 alarms.
The rapidity with which the fire
spread was astounding, Marshall
Buckley, assistant fire chief, said:
THE fire actually seemed to run from

Charges that the blaze was OF in
cendiary origin started a search for
the firebug. The states attorneys Of
fee issued a statement to the effect
that if anyone is found to have start
ed the conflagration they will be
charged with murder as well as
arson.
Twenty-Five thousand persons were
thrown out of work by the fire and
one hundred and twenty-six different
concerns were burned out
Officials of the Board of Underwrit-

disastrous since the great fire of 1871,
revealed many problems which would
have to be met by firemen before they
could hope to cope successfully with
fire in great modern skyscrapers.
