CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-More than
200 persons were injured today,
10 of them seriously, when one
elevated train crashed into the
end of another train while it was
at the .forty-seventh street sta
ton on the south side of the city,
taking on passengers.
Two cars were telescoped, but
did not fall to the ground. More
than 1000 persons were aboard
the trains and on the platform
at the station. Police and fire
men quickly reached the scene
of the accident, but SO large was
the crowds in the station and on
the platform, the firemen had to
use ladders to reach the tracks
and rescue the passengers in the
telescoped coaches.
A dense fog prevailed, and the
motorman of the incoming train
said he did not see the train at
the station until it was too late
to apply the brakes to prevent
the crash.

NOT EVEN MONEY CAN BREAK
HABIT OF REPRESENTATION


Lord has spoken about it in his
office, regarding drivers licenses,
and Assessor Gandolfo in com
menting on some persons not OBJ
tanning exemptions on their
homesteads and, because of that
failure, having to pay full tax
alton.
In the case of exemptions, The
Citizen published story to the
effect that, if money was to be
given away, then everybody
would call to get his share. But
that observation is belied by a
condition in Clerk Sawyer's Of
flee, where money is available
to pay 10 jurors, who have thus
far failed to call for it, and will
lose it if they do not call by next
Saturday.

A resident called this morning
at the sheriff's office and asked
to be directed to the place where
he could register for the election

lnCottage Fire
Along Lakeside

EAST HAMPTON. Conn, Oct.
23.-Ten persons lost their lives
early this morning in a cottage
fire on the shore of a lake near
here.
Edward Nelson, senior and

by an overheated oil stove.
AS the house that was burned
was only one story high, it is
thought that the occupants must
have been suffocated in their
