3 Are Killed
When Train
Hits Auto
Crossing Accident Occurs This
Morning Two Miles North
of Waseca, Mimi.
WERE ON WAY TO SCHOOL
Curtains on Car Evidently
Kept Driver From Seeing
Approaching Engine
WERE ON WAY TO SCHOOL

Waseca, Mimi, Nov. 22.-(AP)-
A man and two children he was TAX
ing to school are dead following a
grade crossing crash two miles
north of here today.
The dead are Ambrose Matz, 81,
farmer living three miles south of
here; Harold, his son, 6 years Of age,
and Harriet ..lland, 10, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Alland, neighbor
farmers.
The crash took place while Matz
was taking the two children to a
rural school in his automobile. Cur
tains on his car arc thought to
have impaired his vision Of the
track.
To reach the school Matz Travelled
a road crossing over the Minneapo-
lis and St. Louis track and used
little excepting by residents Of the
neighborhood going between farms.
The locomotive which crashed
with the car was running without
cars. The engineer said he had
just stopped blowing the whistle
for the crossing as the fireman
called his attention to the approach
ing car. By that time the car was
virtually on the track and it was
too late to stop.

Coolidge Is Not in
Favor of Petitions

Washington, Nov. 22.-R)-The
first authoritative direct statement
Of President Cooiidge's 1928 de-
sires since the famous II do not
choose to rum edict, came from the
White House today and it was an
expression Of Mr.. Coolidge's de-
sires that petitions ON his behalf be
kept from circulation.
Unlike the II do not choose
statement, which was typewritten
and handed to newspaper men by
the president himself, today's ont
line Of the presidents views came
in the usual routine Of giving to
the press the attitude Of Mr.. Cool
idge on various topics, without au-
thority to quote him directly.
Mr.. Coolidge has been importuned
frequently during the summer and
fall to amplify his Black Hills
statement, but to no avail. Today's
exposition Of the White House
views was brought about by publi-
cation Of tho intention Of ! sup
porter Of Mr.. Coolidge to start an
e6dless chain petition urging his
denomination. Mr.. Coolidge be-
lieved such petitions would do no
good.

Governor A da ms Relieves
Scherf of Responsibility in
Miners Deaths

Denver, Nov. 22.-(AP)-A com.
mlttee representing striking miners
III the northern Colorado coal field
To-Day announced all idle workers
had been advised to remain at their
homes to avoid possibility of more
outbreaks similar to the skirmish
at the Columbine mine yesterday
which resulted in the first blood
shed since the. walkout was called
October Is, last.
After reviewing reports OF the
fight at the Columbine, which re-
suited in five deaths among miners
and left score injured, several se-
riously, Governor Adams announced
he had relieved Louis N. Scherf.
commander OF the state police, Of
responsibility in firing on the min
ers when they attempted to invade
the property.
Warrants signed by 10 miners at
Erie, have been made out by JUS
tice of the peace there, charging
Theodore Pert, superintendent of
the Columbine, and Bud Wyatt of
Greeley, under-sheriff of Weld coun-
ty, with murder in connection with
the death of the miners. Sheriff
Robinson Of Weld county said Pert
and Wyatt would be arrested, de-
spite an announcement by A. b. Ro-
mans, Weld county district attorney,
that no complaints or warrants
would be recognized except those
issued by his office or approved by
him.
