Thirty-throe dead and more than
one hundred Injured, Is the appall
ing record of a head-on collision on
Saturday morning on the Pere Mar
quette railroad. The crash occurred
between Ionia and Salem. Mich.
Almost as appalling as the wreck
itself Is the fact that for ten minutes
before It occurred every operator along
the line from Detroit to Bay City
knew that It was Inevitable.
There was nothing could be done
to stop It. Officials of the road were
planning, and did actually start a re
lief train to the scene of horror before
the fatal crash occurred.
The accident occurred upon a single
track line between an excursion train
of 11 cars Bound from loula 4o De
troit, and a freight train going in the
opposite derectlon.
The big freight engiue ploughed
through five of the eleven cars of
the passenger train, making kindling
wood of them.
The cause of the wreck Is placed
upon the train dispatcher's orders be
ing mixed, und the sending of the
freight from Salem when It should
have taken a siding and waited for
the passenger.
The wrecked passenger train was
an annual excursion train that la run
from Ionia about this time every year.
It is largely patronized by employes of
the railroad and their families. All
told there were 800 men, women and
children aboard the wrecked train.
Sunday was a day of grief and
mourning In the little city of Ionia,
which Is 130 miles west of Detroit.
Mayor John F. Bible says that he es
rtlmates that one In every 50 of the
city's Inhabitants were either killed
or Injured In the wreck.
Wholesale Prostrations by Heat.
The parade of the Benevolent and
Protectve Order of Elks at Philadel
hia on Friday was marked by
the prostration from heat of many
persons, estimated by the police and
hospital authorities at 2.500. Never
has there been such a wholesale over
coming of people in that city.
For six hours the police, ambulance
Burgeons and Rod Cross nurses kept
on the run looking after persons who
collapsed under the combined effect.

The parade was on Broad street for
a distance of three miles north and
the same distance south ot the City
hall. The paraders counter-marched
the last three miles back to the City
hall so that they traversed upwards
of nine miles, yet few of those over
come were In the line of march.
Those who succumbed were among
the spectators jammed along the
street in a solid mass from one end
of the lino to the other. . The temper
ture hovered around 90 degrees and
the humidity was excessive and aa a
consequence people sweltered. Among
the few paraders who were over
come were J. Harrington Walker of
St. Paul, Minn., and Henry J. Walter,
exalted ruler of the Philadelphia lodge
of Elks.
Bob Fltzslmmons Knocked Ont.
Jack Johnson stopped "Bob" Fltz
Blmmons In the second round of a
six-round boxing bout before the Wash
ington Sporting club at Philadelphia
Wednesday night. Fltzslmmons did
not show a trace of his former prow
ess, and It Is probable Johnson could
have stopped him In the opening if
he had cared to.
What put Fitzsimmons out was
a light right to the Jaw. The old man
fell to the floor and as he made no at
Iteinpt to rise the referee stopped the
bout. The hissing which usually fol
lows knockouts of this character was
lacking, the spectators evidently tak
ing compassion on the former pugil
istic star.
Gunboat Sandoval For Lake Ontario.
Permission has been asked by the

The naval board which Investigated
the cause of the accident on the battle
ship Georgia early last week, by
which ten men lost their lives, finds
that the charge of po;der was Ignited
which ten men lost their lives Binds
the charge of powder was Ignited
by a "delayed flareback," which
was apparently caused by the shut

.with a light wind blowing Into the
muzzle of the gun. The first section
of the charge in the second loader's
arms was first Ignited.
In one sense the verdict is received
with distinct relief by naal officers
because it shows that they have na
new danger to contend with. They
I.Hve experienced "Hare backs" before

of tariff revision at the luncheon at

Senator Hopkins on leaving Oyster
Bay said that the conclusion was
reached that no tariff revision would
le undertaken until after the next
presidential election.
"It would be suicidal to the Repub
lican party," the senator added, "to
undertake a revision of the tariff
during the next congress. After the
presidential election I believe It will
be the duty of the Republican party
to revise the tariff and that it will be
done."
Verdict Expected Saturday Nlflht.
Argument in defense of William
D. Haywood began Monday morning
.t Boise, Ida., and for the next two or
perhaps three days E. F. Richardson
and Clarence Darrow will plead foi
the life of their client, who, they as
sert, is innocent of any connection
with the murder of Frank Steuncn
berg and is falsely accused by the
state of Idaho of conspiracy to kill the
former governor. The Denver law
yer, who with Clarence Darrow of
Chicago has taken a leading part in
the defense, expects to speak eight or
ten hours. It Is probable that Mr.
Darrow will not begin his closing arg
uiiient before Wednesday morning.
The las.t word will come from Senator
Borah, who will speak' probably on
Friday, closing up the state's side ol
the case. Judge Wood will charge the
Jury on Friday afternoon or more
likely on Saturday morning and a ver
dict is expected by Saturday night.
Trust Sentences Suspended.

anti-trust law, were indefinitely sus
pended by the circuit court Thurs
day. The petitions In error In behalf
of the sentenced men were filed Wed
nesday and read by Judges Parker

time hearing the arguments. It was
declared by the attorneys that the
Valentine law did not stipulate where
the men shall be Imprisoned. Ques
tions involving the validity of the law
were also presented. Judge Morris
Thursday morning approved the jour
nal entries formally overruling the
motions to set aside the sentences and
then the case was taken to the circuit

Mutual Telephone companies applied
to the court for an order compelling
the Rocky Mountain Bell company to
furnish connections. This was resist

grounds that the lines were built for
Its patrons and not those of. compet

Judge Hunt, however, found for the
complainants and said he would name
a commission to fix the division of
charges when such use is made of

According to a foreign correspondent
of the geological survey at Washing
ton, among the most interesting fea
tures of the small Island of Billiton,
between Sumatra and Borneo, an is
land long famous for Its rich tin mines,
controlled by the Dutch government,
are the "glass balls of Billiton," found
among the tin ore deposit. These nat
ural glass balls are round, with grooved
surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc
casionally found In Borneo and Java
as well as in Australia. The corre
spondent quoted thinks they cannot be
artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory thnt
they are volcanic bombs. Besides, II
is claimed, the glassy rocks produced
by the nearest volcanoes are quite dif
ferent In their nature from the mate
rial of the balls. It Is suspected thai
the mysterious objects were ejected
nges ago from the volcanoes of the
moon nnd afterward fell upon the
earth.
