Lives of 1,200 Persons Are Jeopardized by Open Switch--Most of Killed Were School Girls Returning From Vacation. Paris.--An excursion train was wrecked at Saujou Sunday and 34 persons, many of them school girls, were killed and 80 others were in­ jured, several of them fatally. The accident came without warning and in the wild panic that followed the crash many of the passengers were trampled upon and probably fatally injured. Speeding at 60 mil»:s an hour, the excursion train with 1,200 passengers on board, struck an open switch and before the engineer realized the peril, smashed into a side­ tracked freight train. A relief train, with all the available doctors, was rushed to the scene. The uninjured passengers aided in dragging out the dead and injured. An emergency hospital was estab­ lished at the side of the track and everything possible was done to aid the victims. Most of those on board were school girls returning from their vacations. Their frenzied efforts to aid their in­ jured comrades only served to in­ crease the excitement and hampered the doctors considerably in the work of rescue. The engineer and fireman tried to 4l27T»T\ OC fha oV» troro pinned in the wreckage. The boiler exploded and many were scalded by the boiling water. An investigation is being made to place responsibility for the wreck. It is claimed that there was no signal to warn the engineer that the switch was open. So many were the victims that at first only those who had been serious­ ly hurt received medical attention. As fast as they were attended they were put aboard the relief train and rushed to Bordeaux, where they were placed in hospitals. TROOPS TO COMBAT FUMES It would seem that more people are giving their lives to the perfection of the aeroplane than to any former scientific achievement. In twenty-seven years the Kimber- ley diamond mines have yielded $420,- 000,000 worth of diamonds. Still our western cornfields do a lot better than that Hie man who is earning his own liv­ ing In these days, however mildly he may be going about it, is truly enough earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. 'ilmorous males who are frightened at the way women are Invading men's occupations should take heart at the success some achieve in trimming hats. Going down to the sea in ships was the ancient idea of peril. But it was common place safety beside going up In the air in the most modern style of ships. Ten or fifteen deaths among the comparatively few aeronauts and avia­ tors in the last few months are not only depleting their ranks but showing up air flights as mighty dangerous pastiming. In printing the new passenger tick­ ets to be used on airship lines care should be taken to have it specified that stop-over privileges may be had when necessary without the signature of the conductor. 8oldler* Are Rushed to National For­ ests In Northwest to Fight Destructive Fires. Washington.--Forest fires in the northwest, threatening destruction to &uman life and to millions of dollars' worth of property, have alarmed offi­ cials of the interior department and forest service. In response to appeals from the fire zones additional United States sol­ diers were Saturday rushed to assist in combating the flames. The soldiers have been dispatched to the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Lewis and Clark, Mont., Wallows, Mont, and Colville, Wash., national forests; the Flathead Indian reservation, Mon­ tana, and the Glacier National park, Montana. The troops have been spread over the entire fire belt ai\d Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, has informed the interior department and forest service officials that the assistance of the army will be given in meeting the emergency to the limit of the number of soldiers available, if necessary. Missoula, Mont.--Conditions in the forests of western Montana show no appreciable improvement. The work of securing fire-fighting crews Is being vigorously pressed. In the forests about Missoula the situation grows worse.

Columbus, O.--Rioting wa%resumed in this city Sunday night and one man was fatally shot and five oth­ er^ injured. So fierce was the vio­ lence of the crowds that all street car traffic was abandoned during the night. Mayor Marshall again declared that he would not call for troops. Ho said police would continue to ride the cars. Rioting started at Shiller park, where a band concert was being held. A mob gathering in Mohawk avenue blockaded the car tracks and stopped the cars. Jeering mobs gathered about the crews and a fight started. Motorman L. S. Duvall was struck in the head with a brick, and fell uncon­ scious in the street. Conductor W. P. Miller and Motorman L. P. Evans of another car, were also attacked and severely bruised by sticks and rocks. When two automobile loads of po­ lice arrived the crowd numbered about 5,000 people. Three rioters were ar­ rested. When John J. Gallagher, a con­ ductor, was called "scab" by a crowd near Saint Clair avenue, he turned to a woman sitting behind him. She handed him a huge revolver which she took from a valise at her side. He then began firing into the crowd. The woman, tall and handsome, stood up and cried "Give it to them. Jack." Just then an automobile load of po­ lice drove up. Gallagher and the woman were placed under arrest. In the woman's valise were found two more revolvers and ammunition. She > said her name was Anna Gallagher, the motorman's wife. At the police station Gallagher and his wife were released on bond, fur­ nished by the railroad company.

His report on the strike situation in the entire country brought hoots and hisses, when he mentioned the recommendation to the Illinois strikers to pay all over 1% cents a ton of the cost of shot-firers. Secretary Perry of the miners came out as an opponent of President Lewis and recommended that the convention make the Illinois strike the main is­ sue of the international union to be fought until all the demands of the proposed Peoria agreement have been accepted by the operators. Lanark, Scotland.--J. Armstrong Drove! the American millionaire avia­ tor, Thursday night attained the world's altitude record by ascending o,750 feet, according to the official an­ nouncement. His barogram will be submitted to the experts of the Kew observatory in London, who will determine the accu­ racy of the measurements. Drexel's flight was the sensation of the aviation meeting. Ascending at seven o'clock in the evening, he shot up into a bank of clouds and disap­ peared from the gaze of the anxious crowd. His airship landed about two hours later 12 miles from Lanark. Aeronauts are enthusiastic over Drexel's feat. He made his attempt with the announced purpose of break­ ing Robert A. Brookins' record, but his success excelled even the expecta­ tions which he expressed to friends. He descended only when his supply of gasoline became exhausted. Asbury Park, N. J. -- Benjamin Prinz, a balloonist, was dashed to death at the close of the program of the aviation meet at Interlaken field, when he lost his grip on his trapeze and his life line broke. He fell 5,000 feet Into a tree. Ten thou­ sand persons saw him plunge. His body was horribly mangled. The accident was due to the youth's own carelessness. Before swinging off the ground under the huge hot air bal­ loon in company with his team mate, James Flemming, Prinz forgot to buckle his safety belt to the trapeze bar of the parachute. He was scheduled to make what is known as a double parachute drop. When the first parachute opened after a fall of 100 feet, the Jar of the sud­ den check was so abrupt that the boy was thrown from his scant perch and came hurtling earthward simultane­ ously with the second parachute, which he cut loose in his agonized en­ deavor to grasp the bar.

PAUPERISM IS INBIAfi PERIL SALES OF LANDS WOULD MEAN RED MEN'S RUIN. Cecil Lyon Tells Gore Inquiry Com­ mittee His Connection With McMurray Contracts. Sulphur, Okla. -- Witnesses testi­ fied before the Gore congressional Indian land Investigating committee that if the Indian lands in Oklahoma were sold and the $30,000,000 proceeds were turned over to the Indians In cash, the state within ten years would be flooded with paupers. It was asserted that many of the In­ dians who signed the McMurray con­ tracts, allowing a ten per cent "attor­ ney fee" to J. F, McMurray and his associates, were financially irresponsi­ ble. They would soon squander the cash, it was declared, and within a few years the country would be con­ fronted with the problem of how to take care of them. Except for the appearance on the stand of Cecil A. Lyon, Republican national committeman of Texas, the witnesses were all Indians. Mr. Lyon told of his financial interest in the old tribal McMurray contracts, which pro­ vided for a ten per cent, fee, but which were disapproved by President Roose­ velt in 1908. Asked If he had been Invited by Mc­ Murray to join In the deal because of his political Influence and his ac­ quaintance with Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Lyon said he supposed he was, but he also attributed the Invitation to his business ability. Many Chickasaws testified they were willing to give McMurray as high as 25 per oent. attorney's fees if he would sell the land within a year. BELGIAN EXPOSITION BURNS Langford Refuses to Fight.

Brussels.--One hundred thousand visitors were thrown into a panic by a fire that wiped out the en­ tire Belgian exposition. Two persons are known to be dead and 40 injured, some fatally. The flames started in the French section and had gained considerable headway before they were discovered. The instant the alarm was given, the 100,000 persons at the exposition be­ came panic-stricken and a wild rush was made for the exits. The people fought and struggled in a maddened attempt to get out of the place. Many of those hurt received their injuries by falling to the floor and being trampled upon by the Crowd. The two killed were trapped by the flames and attempts to rescue them were unsuccessful. The crowd got to places of safety, however, before the flames reached them. No estimate of the damage, which was great, has been made. JAP FLOODS KILL HUNDREDS Lower Sections of Tokyo Are Inunda­ ted and 30,000 Houses Are Submerged. Tokyo.--The devastation wrought throughout many districts by the re­ cent floods is appalling. Whole villages and towns have been washed away and hundreds of lives have been lost. In the lower sections of Tokyo alone 30,000 houses are sub­ merged. The monetary loss amounts to millions of dollars. Boy Pelts Duke of Genoa.

Washington.--Struck behind the ear by a ball in a game at Cornfield, MD.» Thursday, Howard Layer, a twelve- year-old member of a camping party of choir boys of this city, died In­ stantly. Brussels.--The executive committee of the Belgian exposition, which was partly destroyed Sunday by fire, en­ tailing damages amounting to mil­ lions, decided to close it for a few days in order to clear away the ruins of the destroyed sections. The ejpo- :dlion will then be reopened. It Is impossible to estimate the dam­ age caused by the fire that wiped out the fairy-like structures and caused two deaths and thirty injuries. The losses, however, will not be so great as was at first believed, when during the excitement of the confla­ gration they were estimated roughly at $100,000,000. The entire Belgian and British sec­ tions; the whole Xermesse of Brus­ sels, the Coney Island of the exposi­ tion, with water chutes, toboggan slides and other special entertain­ ments, and everything west of the Avenue des Nations, were destroyed, but by heroic work of the firemen and troops and the use of dynamite, ill blowing up . buildings in the path of the flames, the fire was checked. Practically everything in the Ameri­ can, Danish. Russian, Norwegian, Aus­ trian, Japanese, Turkish and Swiss sections was saved. Only the facades and about one-third of the entire French section were burned. The British loss is heavy. Fortunately tb# most valuable art treasures, which had been loaned to the exposition or acquired by it. were removed beyond the reach the flames and the pillaging criminals who at­ tempted to take advantage of the dis­ aster. A strong gale carried the conflagra­ tion through the Kermesse, Jammed with a Sunday crowd of nearly 100,- 000 at the time of the outbreak, with such speed that it is considered a miracle that the panic-stricken masses were gotten out with a loss no great­ er that two killed and thirty in­ jured. A few of the wild beasts in the me­ nagerie, which escaped suffocation in the flames as they drove back the sol­ diers and attendants endeavoring to put them out of their misery, were shot down by the troops, who found them cowering in fright in various parts, of* the grounds.

SEEK FOR GALLAGHER'S AID New York Police Have Theory Assail­ ant of Mayor Gaynor Had an Accomplice. New York.--New York police are engaging themselves with the theory that James J. Gallagher, the would-be assassin of Mayor Gaynor, had an ac­ complice. Gallagher denies this, but a man with a police record is under suspicion. , Mayor Gaynor will be taken to the Adirondacks as soon as his condition permits, But whether he will undergo an operation to remove the bullet be­ fore his trip to the mountains has not been determined. Secretly Robert Adamson said| Monday the mayor seemed stronger. Now that the patient is taking more nourishment and his sleep is better his attendants feel that he will re­ cruit his strength rapidly. His ap­ petite is good. The blood tests con­ tinue satisfactory and taints of any infection have not been discovered. The cough which so distressed the mayor has disappeared. RAINFALL AIDS FIRE FIGHT Wallace, Idaho, Gets Respite as Flames Hem In Elk City, Where Whole Country Is Ablaze. Spokane, Wash.--At Wallace, Idaho, hundreds of pounds of dynamite, hung to the limbs of trees on high points surrounding the city and exploded in the hope that the effect might produce rain to check the devastation wrought by forest fires, is said to have had a result, for rain began falling Sunday for the first time in two months. The fall has been heavy. A dispatch from Stiles, Idaho, says the situation in the Elk City district is the worst in the history of that region. Under the high winds in the mountains for the last two days and nights the forest fires are burning with fury. The whole country in the vicinity of Elk City is ablaze. The town is cut off from communication with the outside world and is sur­ rounded by fires. The fires on Ten Mile, which were supposed to have been burned out, have been fanned into activity again. LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg Just above my ankle. It Irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and it) began to spread until my leg from my, ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always •worse at night and would not allow, me to sleep, or my wife either, and It was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with, pain and chagrin as no matter where the Irritation came, at work, on the street on in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe* I simply cannot describe my Buffer­ ing during those seven years.

A search for a child's short story, "The Griffin and the Minor Canon," in a volume all by Itself revealed to ft persistent city shopper the thought and money that are expended on the furnishing of dolls' houses. Book stores had not the story in a single volume, but in a department store one young woman interviewed had re­ cently been transferred from the toy department and was able to contribute a helpful hint. "I think," she said, "you can find it in one of the dolls' houses downstairs." Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature, So the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses. Three of the most expensive hoifees contained libraries consisting of a score of diminutive books and each book contained a child's story complete. One of them was "The Griffin and the Minor Canon."
