South American
Flyers Delayed; !!
One. Goes Ahead

VERA CRUZ, Dec. % (AP) =
Captain. Ira C. Eaker and Lieuten-
ant M. S. Fairchild, in their air.
plane, the San Francisco, of the
United States army American
fliers, arrived here from Tampico
at $3.50 o'clock eastern standard
time this evening.
The machine came down in the
bay after it had been announced
that the hop-off from Tampico was
postponed until tomorrow.
So it happened that the crowds
which had waited for the coming
of the Americans had dispersed,
and the San Francisco's pilot was
obliged to find safe berthing
place for his plane.
Land In Safety.
Th eaviators reached shore in
safety, entered the town and went
in search of place to spend the
night.
Captain Eaker said that only
four of the five airplanes had
taken off at Tampico. One of the
machines was unable to rise from
| the, muddy terrain. Eaker was
preceded by the MEXICAN aviator
Sldar, who was to act as guide to
the filters. The Mexican airplane
made Vera Cruz soon after six
o'clock, but when Sidar was ask
ed about the American aviators he
was unable to give any informa-
ton, other than they were trying
to leave Tampico at the time he
4 had hoped off to act as their
guide:
Others Held Up.
Captain Eaker explained that
his own take-off was made with
difficulty, but he reached this
port without incident. When the
other planes failed to arrive he
advanced the theory that they had
been unable to rise and that their
actual departure had been post
poned until tomorrow.
Word had been received from
Tampico earlier that the American
aviators did not leave that place
because their engines needed some
slight adjustments.

FAST SOUTHERN
FLORIDA TRAINS
CRASHON SIDING
Both Flyers Loaded With
Holiday Crowd on Way
To Homes; Darkness
Hampers Rescuers
CARS TELESCOPED

ROCKMART, Ca, Dec 90 (APl
Twenty persons are believed to
have been killed and number in
jured when two fast Southern
railway passenger trains met in a
head-on collision near here early
tonight.
That estimate was given by a
newspaper correspondent who
was the first to return here from
the scene with definite news of
the wreck. He said he counted
five bodies in the wreckage and
that railroad officials expressed
the belief that many more would
be found in the debris.
One Pullman car and dining car
were telescoped, he said, the dead
and injured being mostly in those
coaches.
Darkness HinderS ReScuers
Little progress had been made
several hours after the accident
toward removing the bodies or the
injured, heavy rain, darkness
and confusion among passengers
handicapping rescue workers.
AS fast as the victims were re-
moved, however, they were taken
to the local undertaking chapel.
Some of the more seriously hurt
were given refuge in homes While
others were taken to hospital at
Rome, nearby.
The wreck occurred when the
northbound Ponce de Leon special
from Jacksonville, running late,
and making more than fifty miles
an hour on a downgrade, failed to
take a switch and crashed into the
Royal Palm Limited, Chicago to
Miami, which was waiting for the
other train to pass on a siding.
The engine Of one of the trains
was thrown from the rails by the
impact and cars piled up in a mass
of wreckage
Relief Trains Sent.
Many persons were said to have
been at dinner in the dining car
when the crash came and it is in
this car that most of the casual
ties are thought to have occurred.
1t had not been determined to
which train the diner was attach
ed
Wrecking crews and relief trains
have been rushed to the scene

Now Mrs. Reddy is quite as smart as Reddy himself, and Red dy is one of the smartest of all the little people in the Green Forest and on the Green Meadows. It seemed as If anyone so smart ought ito be able to find that stranger. but somehow Mrs. Reddy continually missed him. Time and again she found where he had been, but she was always just too late. Still she persisted. You see, Reddy still in- sisted that it vas all true about the stranger climbing a tree.
 At last one day Mrs. Reddy found the strangers trail and the scent was so strong that she know he had passed only few minutes before. Mrs Reddy followed swiftly. This time she hoped to at least see the stranger Luck was with her. AS she pcckod around an old stump, she saw standing out in a little open space, looking back as if he sus- pected he was being followed. Gray Fox himself.
 He was ahout the size of Reddy Fox but his legs were longer and he was little moro slender. His tail was not nearly as handsome as Rcddy'S or as her own. His coat was gray. trimmed with red across 'the breast. and he was red on the sidfs of his neck. There was also rcd on his legs. But as a whole he looked gray and this was why he had the name Of Gray Fox. the Woods Fox.
 Mrs. Reddy remained perfectly still, peeping around the old stump Gray Fox didn't see her. but 1t was clear that he was uneasy and sus- pected that somebody was following him. After a moment or two. he turned and lightly bounded away. Instantly, Mrs. Reddy followed him She found that Gray Fox was fast runner Mrs. Reddy Is a fast runner herself.
