HURT IN NASHVILLE !.
TRAIN COLLISION

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. /. -
Three men were killed two others
may die and three others are in
jured az the result of one of the
most peculiar train wrecks in the
history of the Louisville and Nash
vile and the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis roads, which occurred
in the railroad yards of the last
named road within the city limits
here late last night. All the dead
and injured are employees of the
two roads. The exact cause of the
wreck has as yet been unaScertain-
ed.
An l.. & n. switch engine, No.
629, was bringing "a loaded cars and
10 empties from the yards at Rad
nor, just outside the city. into
Nashville. For some unexplained
reason the switch engine jumped
the track and then plowed its way
into n, c. & st. l.. engine No. 6s2,
which was just pulling out of the
city with 80 loaded cars side-swipinG
the NJ c., & st. L. train and en-
CINE. The dead are Engineer F. H.
Smith, of Nashville, Of the freight
train; w. Y. Mason, conductor,
of Antioch. Tenn, connected with
the freight train, and w. H.

train, also of Nashville.

Clyde Mckee. of Nashville. fireman
on the switch engine, were less Sc
riousIy injured.
Both engines were demolished.
six cars were smashed to bits and
the trackage for scores of yards
was torn up.
Extrication of the dead and in
iured proved an arduous task for
railroad Wreckers and policemen
who aided in the work. Headlights
from patrol wagons sent to the
scene gave the only light under
which the work could be carried on.
All three men killed met death
pinned in the cab of the N. c. &
St. L. engine. Engineer Smiths
severed hand was found still clutch
ing the trottle of his engine. Fire
man Henry was pinned for more
than half an hour under the coal
tender of the freight engine. Many
pounds Of coal held him fast and he

MARKET BULLETIN
USED FOR POLITICS,
SENATOR CHARGES

A charge by Senator Pace, of the
Thirteenth district, that Comm,4-
SiOner OF Agriculture j. J. Brown
used the Market Bulletin" put-
lished weekly by the bureau Of
markets, as a political organ Iasc
fall, enlivened a session of the SEN
ate agriculture committee Tuesday
afternoon at which the Pace bill to
repeal the annual appropriation Of
100000 for the market bJreau was
recommended for passage by the
vote of 8 to Z.
The bill originally sought to re.
duce the amount of fertilizer tag
tax from 80 cents to 10 cents a tor.
but an amendment by Mr.. Pace,
leaving the tax unchanged, was
adopted.
If the committee S action is sus-
tanned by the house and senate, tne
market bureau will be without funds
for the coming year, unless the gen
eral appropriations bill makes pro-
vision for the department.
Appropriation Sought
Several members of the senate
committee said they would try 20
get an appropriation of $4,000 or
$4,000 placed in the bill.
Senator Pace said the market bull
letin is worthless" and that the
people in his district feel that t
should be discontinued, especially
since it is costing from $4,000 to
100000 year.
Il hold in my hands" he con-
tinued, "a copy of the bulletin is
sued last September, in which niue h
space was given to a political state
NV
thanking his friends for their sup
was a most indiscreet thing to DO"
Brown Admits Mistake
Replying, Commissioner Brown
admitted that he made a big mis-
take" in using the bulletin to thank
his friends for their support.
TN fact" he said, 81 did not know
this was being done until it was toe
late to stop it. You haven't seen
such a thing since, and you will not
in til culture see this done. Natu-
rally, some mistakes are made in
big department like mine. All hui
mans err, gentlemen.
Senator Pace told the committee
that Commissioner Brown had
charged that the attack on his de-
partment was the work of dis
gruntled politicians and disappointed
office-seekers. He denied that he
belonged to either class, and further
asserted he was not attacking the
department, but was merely carry.
ing out the overwhelming wishes of
his constituents.
100000 TOO Much"
cut out this 100000 appropria-
ton which is fixed by statute" Mr..
Pace urged, and then let the gen
eral appropriations bill take care of
the market bureau. l think it should
be given $4,000 or such a matter,
but 100000 is too much. | call your
attention to the fact that the house
evidently agrees with this view. for
a $4,000 appropriation for the bu-
reau was stricken from the appro
priations bill several days ago.
Lem B. Jackson, director of the
bureau of markets; Fred Bridges,
assistant commissioner of agricul-
ture, and Commissioner Brown were
present to defend the department,
but only Commissioner Brown adj
dressed the committee. He made q
strong plea for cooperation of the
legislature in the departments eff.
forts to serve the farmers of Geor-,
gia during the crucial period they
are passing through"
The Pace measure comes up for
final action in the senate Thursday.
