COsGRAvE train
RUNS OFF RAILS

LIMOGES, Ont, Jan. 80. = The
special train carrying President Will
lam T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free
State on his tour through Canada was
derailed within 200 feet of the station
of this little village early this after
noon. Neither President Cosgrave
nor any of his party was injured, al
though road foreman was killed, and
the engineer and fireman were hurt.
The dining car and the locomotive
overturned, the cab of the engine be-
ing wrecked. Officials and correspon-
dents escaped. The accident was be-
lieved to have been due to an open
switch.
The Canadian secret service are
trying to make capital out of the &C.
cident, claiming that an attempt has
been made against Cosgrave's life.
Tho there is absolutely no evidence to
substantiate their statements, it is
feared that some workers may be rail-
roaded to jail on framed up charges.

PERFECT LANDING GUIDE.

HADLEY FIELD, N. j., Jan. 3d.
A new beacon has been erected at
this field, to be used as a direction
finder for air mail pilots on the east
ern division of the transcontinental
air mail service. A luminous dial in
which are mounted vibrating reeds
features the new beacon, thus remov-
ing the necessity of the pilots wear
ing uncomfortable ear phones. A
wireless phone device makes it pos
sible for the pilot to talk to the oper-
ator on the ground.

DENY 3 WORKERS
GAVE HANDbILLS

Emil Makvista, Thomas Thorsen,
Nils Knith, and Eric Hennonen, mem
bers of the Workers Party, arrested
in Brooklyn, on December 6, for dis
tributing handbills denouncing gov
eminent by injunction, will be de-
Tended today by Jacques Buitenkant
of the International Labor Defense
in Special Sessions Court, Brooklyn
The four workers are under $500 bail
each.
"They have no case against these
men," stated Buitenkant yesterday
"They were merely found distributing
handbills, exercising their legal
right on which charge of conspiracy
cannot be predicted. Only one man
was giving out the bills, and we will
prove that the others were sitting in
an automobile at the time"

NO QUARANTINE
ON COLO. SCABS

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 30.-State
Health Commissioner Stephen is
showing the most fragrant favoritism
in his handling of the quarantine pro-
visions in the northern coal fields of
Colorado. Where mines are struck,
no meetings are allowed, no more
than three miners have been allowed
to meet in one group for two weeks,
although there are no cases of spinal
meningitis, and the quarantine is
about to be lifted. The strikers have
been cooperating fully with the
health officials and carrying out all
decisions.
However, in the Columbine camp
where the plague started among the
scabs, and where there have been
seventeen cases, the whole camp is
expressly exempted from quarantine
provisions-so that the strike-break-
ers can go on working.
