SYSTEM DESPITE CRASH

A supplemental investigation made
by the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission Of collision between a

on the Southern railway, near Cleve-
land, Tenn, on September 20. in
which one person was killed and
twenty-six injured, reveals that the

no change is contemplated as re-
suit Of the accident, 1t was an.
nounced today.
1.-THE situation at Cleveland" the
commissions report said, is such
that it is often a matter of diff
ficulty for the crews of departing
trains to know whether or not the
opposing train has arrived and
entered the yard. If, however, OPP
Grating reasons should make it a
matter of necessary to advance
trains to outlying switches, further
protective devices are needed to en-
able the block operators to retain
control Of the train movement"

JUDGE INDICTED
IN PE0NAGE
SCANDAL
Florida Justice, Sheriff, and
Deputies Charged With
EnsIaving Laborers

PENSACOLA, Fla, Nov. IAN
echo Of the famous Martin Taberf
peonage case resounded along the
Florida west coast today as the
result OF a sweeping true bill re-
turned by the Federal grand Jury
charging several high county Off.
cial with aiding tlrpentine growers
In this section to establish a virtual
state OF peonage among their en-.
ployes.
The indictment resulted from an
investigation of the case being
made against Alfred and Charles
Land and M. B. Davis, turpentine
operators, who have extensive naval
store interests in West Florida.
Federal officers charged that the
county sheriff, Judge and at least
two deputies, assisted the opera.
tors IN forcing employees to do
work distasteful to them.
This development came out in the
preliminary hearings held at Mari.
anna, Fla, eand the commissioners
at that point has been subpoened
as a witness in the cases. When
laborers would leave the camps.
Federal OFFICIALS charged, State
warrants would be sworn out and
they would be compelled to return
to work against their will.

In the approaching session Of

win arouse legislative discussion
will be the appropriation bills,

James K. Collins, of New
York, Is Latest Victim.
One More Taken III

BEDFORD, Va, Nov. 12.-The
death toll which followed the serv-
ing Of poisoned cider to members
|nf the National Home Of the
Benevolent and Protective Order Of
EIks was today increased to ten by
the death, shortly before noon, of
James K. Collins, of New York
city.
The total Of those poisoned also
has been increased from twenty
six to twenty-seven. It was dis
covered today that Daniel Crowley,
of Somerville, Mass, also drank
some of the poisoned beverage.
His condition is serious.
Toll May Increase.
The death toll may be increased
before nightfall. At least one Of
the poisoned men is in critical con.
dition and several are very seriously
i'll. None of the poisoned men yet
is known definitely to be out of
danger,
Thorough investigation Of the
tragedy is being made today by
State authorities and by national
officials Of the Elks. The cider is
said to have been served from a
barrel which formerly contained
arsenate Of lead.
While it is known the deaths
which have cut so deeply into the
roster OF the aged inmates Of the
home was not conceived In malice,
the Investigators will decide
whether there Is grounds to pro-
coed with criminal proceedings on
the basis of criminal negligence. -
Superintendent Charles Mosby,
Of the home said today that the
policy to be pursued by the Elk
body will be determined this after
noon upon the arrival Of Robert A..
Scott, Of Lineton, Ind. home mem
Der OF the national board. He
said that the coroner had already
been at the home and he has offered
his cooperation to the Common.
wealth Attorney.
1t has been learned that the
cider was made last Friday by
e. M. Richardson, of Kelsoes Mills,
Bedford county, and delivered IN
the barrel and in a,demijohn and
was served at a luncheon Monday
afternoon.
Washed Keg Thoroughly
Mr.. Richardson purchased the
barrel for the purpose Of using it
for vinegar for his family, but
when he received the order for the
cider he used 1t to deliver the
beverage. He told Superintendent
Mostly that he washed the keg
thoroughly before he put the cider
into 1t. Officials take the view
the poison had saturated the wood.
The ninth man died at $3.50 o'clock
last night, 1t was feared that two
others who are critically Ill would
succumb during the night but their
condition was reported slightly i'm.
proved this morning. Physicians
are confident fifteen others who
are iii will recover.
1t has not been definitely de.
cided yet whether a coroner's in.
quest will be held.

Rum Runners Busy As
Fog Blanket Covers
| Atlantic Coast


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The
first heavy fog Of the season
blanketing the coast today from
Cape May to Nantucket, de-
n1oralized harbor traffic here,
delayed thousands Of commuters
and, according to authorities,
enabled rum runners to land
large cargoes.
The bootleggers were further
aided by the fact that the Gus
toms marine patrol went out Of
existence last night; being re-
placed by the United States
coast guard.
Commuters were delayed be-
cause ferry boats and. trains
had to proceed slowly to avoid
q collision. The steamships
Teno, Suffren, Huron, Kroon-
LAND and Los Angeles failed to
arrive here as scheduled. The
Teno is bringing forty-one sur
vivors Of the United Fruit
steamer Zacapa.
For the first time in months
the United States revenue cut
ter, which meets arriving YES
sells, failed to make the trip
today.
