The engine, baggage car, tbe day coach and three tourist sleepers left tbe track and rolled over down an embankment. The six remaining coaches of the veterans' special were hurriedly trasformed into a morgue and hospital, and as soon aa an engine reached the scene the dead and Injured were brought here. The Injured, some of whom are believed to be fatally hart, filled the two hospitals of Hat­ tlesburg, while the dead were taken to an undertaking establishment. Five doctors and three nurses reached the scene of the terrible ao cldent within half an hour after the first news reached- here. Living com­ rades of the dead and Injured veter­ ans, however, bad not forgotten the lessons they learned on the field of battle, and their attention to the dead and the ministrations to the wound­ ed were prompt With the assistance of the members of the train crew whose lives were •pared, the passengers soon had all of the injured removed to the cars itbat stood en the tracks and had gath­ ered together the remains of as many of the dead as it was possible to reach before the wrecking derrick could reach the scene to lift the debris from those pinioned beneath it. The train was from New Orleans, and was occupied entirely by the vet­ erans and wives and families. The cause of the wreck has not been ascertained positively. The train was running at about thirty miles an hour and was crossing an embankment with a trestle in the center. Just as the engine reached the trestle It was seen to rear up and leave the trfcek. The five cars followed the engine, some tumbling down the embankment on one side and some on the other, • forming a tangled mass of splinters >and twisted iron. Two of the cars dashed against poles of the Cumber­ land telephone, thirty feet from the •track, demolishing the poles and sev- ;ering communication witn Hattles- borg. ' Traffic on the road is completely tied up and from appearances will remain so for some time to come. MINERS ARE DIVIDED WORKERS HOLO NUMEROUS MEETINGS! White Favov Peace While Want a Strike.

Wytbevjlle, Va., May 4.--Floyd Al­ len, typical native of Virginia's isolat­ ed hills, probably for the first time in his life, has arrived at a realization Of the determination of the law when it deals with the man who has taken human life. Six weeks, ago, when he was found guilty of a minor offense, Allen and hit kin took the law into their own hands and worked their guns until four of their prosecutors and an innocent spectator were dead. At the opening of his trial Thursday for the murder of Commonwealth At­ torney William M. Foster, Allen, propped up in an easy chair to alle­ viate the pain of his own wounds, heard a new prosecutor thunderously denounce him as the arch-conspirator, in one' of the most atrocious crimes in the history of the world. J. C. Wysof. chief counsel for the state, in his opening address charac­ terized the Allen gang as rufflaQS, out­ laws and cold-blooded assassins. He laid great stress on the charge of con­ spiracy. The opening address of Attorney R. H. Willis for the defense was brief He declared his client had been the victim of gross exaggerations. He de­ nied that Allen killed Miss Nancy Ayers; it was the bullets of either Clerk Dexter Goad or one of his dep­ uties which killed her, he salil. He denied the existence of a conspiracy and declared Allet} did not draw his own gun until after he had been shot and then he drew it from his hip pocket, not from his vest pocket, be­ neath the sweater. Judge D. W. Bolen of Hillsvllle. who had been Floyd Allen's counsel, took the witness chair and detailed the shooting at the courthouse. He declared that Claude Allen fired the first sbot. S. B. Weddell, a former resident of Hillsvllle, said he saw Floyd Allen there tbe day before the tragedy. Al­ len told him that day, the witness de­ clared: "I will kill Bill Foster before the sun goes down tomorrow night if I am convincted."

President Taft Sends Second Install- ment of Consular Reports Regard­ ing Excessive Rates in Europe to Congress--Prices at Fair Level. Washington, May 7,--The president on Monday. transmitted to congress the second installment of the reports of consular officers on co-operation and the cost of living which are the result of the Investigation he some time ago directed should be pade. The coun­ tries included in this installment are France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. It appears from the information col­ lected, the acting secretary says, that the rising cost of living has directed attention to and augmented the mem­ bership of the co-operative societies, more especially in France and Bel­ gium. The French co-operative asso­ ciations are In the main arranged upon the same system as those in the United Kingdom. The tendency is to­ wards small societies and the great majority of the associations represent groceries and bakeries. The most suc­ cessful distributive societies are in the manufacturing cities of northeast- erti and central France. Among these societies relief funds are administered and insurance against illness and forced non-employment is supplied. Arrangements are made with dentists, doctors and artisans for their services by members on a commission basis. The operation of the agricultural so- citles has been especially successful in southern'France. The French govern­ ment has given encouragement to these societies by furnishing expert advice, granting subventions, and per­ mitting long . term loans by agricul­ tural credit associations. The general buying Is done principally through dis­ trict unions. High-grade farm machin­ ery such as is beyond the reach of many individual members is pur­ chased from the surpluses or Is loaned gratuitously or upon the payment of nominal fees. In regard to industrial co-operative production it appears that plants owned and operated by the operatives are not uncommon in France. The consular reports state that the French co-operative societies usually sell at prices which are neither higher nor lower than those of private stores and that they have a tendency to keep prices throughout the district where they are located down to a fair level as well as to enhance the purity and quality of the goods. The degree of •reduction In the cost of living is al­ most wholly contingent upon the capa­ bility and the altruism of the manage­ ment of the respective districts/ In Belgium, the consular reports state, a large proportion of the co­ operative societies sell at prices lower than those of the regular market, al­ lowing only members to purchase, and have only nominal profits to dis­ tribute. Many societies guarantee a six per cent, dividend on all purchases and distribute all remaining profits to various funds for insurance, pensions, strike relief, indemnities for Injuries, and the like.
