Broken Hail Wrecked Const Line Flyer 3 .Miles North of Dillon Yesterday Morning. ? I Atlantic Coast Line train ino. 8t> due to pass Dillon at 2:30 a. m. was badly wrecked at an obscure rrossing three miles north of Dillon early, Wednesday morning. The train was! running about three hours late and | the wreck was caused by a broken rail at crossing near Mr. Oscar Campbell's home. Engineer Jno. Tolar, one of thft Coast Line's veteran drivers, was atj the throttle and the train was in charge of Conductor Chas. Paul. No. 86 is one of the Coast Line's fastest trains and it is little short of miraculous that not a single person was injured. Passengers in the rear sleepers were not aware of the wreck until they were awakened by train officials. Running late the train was exceeding its usual speed and the seven miles from Latta to Dillon were covered in 7 minutes. The train was running about 50 miles an hour when it took the grade leading up from the river to the place where it was wrecked. At the crossing where the huge locomotive left the track was found a rail broken as clean as a pipe stem. The wheels of the locomotive toon 10 the ties and the momentum was sot great that the engine ploughed its way along the track for a distance of a hundred yards. The coaches followed and when the train came to a standstill six steel coaches were zigzagged across the track bed with ends resting against the embankments. Persons who viewed the wreck wondered how the engineer and fireman escaped with their lives. The huge locomotive was lying diagonally across the track, flat on its side. The engineer's seat was partly buried in the ground and ten feet above it was what was left of the fireman's seat. Engineer Tolar says it all happened in the twinkling of an eye. He applied the emergency brakes as quickly as possible and when the brake shoes clasped the wheels the engine was thrown backward, pitching him out of the cab backwards. The fireman does not know how he escaped. He did not have time to jump and . the last thing he remembers was ?1 *u ~ nltnhoH nvpr nn its ? wlien lue engine t/iwi.vu ?. ^. side. When he came to himself he was standing upright some thirty feet away from the locomotive. The tender carrying about 10 tons of coal turned over on its side, dumping its entire load within a few feet of the point where Engineer Tohir landed on the ground. The coaches were of heavy steel construction and this perhaps accounts for the fact that no one was injured. If the coaches had been built of wood they would have been smashed into kindling and the loss of life would have been fearful. There was very little panic among the passengers. The colored coach was crowded but the passengers did not lose their heads. The electric lights continued to burn and the passengers quietly filed out of the wrecked coaches. This is the third time No. S6 has been wrecked near Dillon. About ten years ago it was wrecked at Bassentyre near Latta, and five years ago it was wrecked near the Dillon Mill. Each time there has been great destruction of railroad equipment but no loss of life. o Jealous Husband Kills "Wife and Boarder. Macon, Ga., Jan. 26?Mrs. -ft. E. Herrington. thirty-two, and a young boarder said to be her uncle, Charels Howze, eighteen, were shot and killed in the Herrington home here tonight. Riley E. Herrington, husband of the woman is held on two charges of murder. The three little children of the Herringtons witnessed the tragedy. Herrington is a foreman in the car shops of the Central of Georgia Railroad. The couple were married eight years ago, Mrs. Herrington coming from Valdosta. Her father, A. C. Shinholzer, resides at Heresford, Fla. Mrs. Herrington and Howse were in the kitchen washing dishes when the tragedy occurred. Deputies from the sheriff's office, who arrested Herrington, said that he admitted firing the shots. They say that jealously was the motive. The officers picked up a long butcher knife lying on the floor, a foot from Howze's right hand, which was stretched upon the floor, and this with a pistol, which the deputies say was taken from Herrington. and which he reloaded, are held as eviL dence. Herrington himself h.-.d a bulJet wound in his left hand. Howze was a government vocational student at a local busiLvss college. o ltu>liin Daniel* Dead. Very unexpected was the death of Mr. Daniels at ati early hour Sunday morning. At the time of his death Mr. Daniels was living on the A. L. Be. thea place.

PLANK CAIIIUES 100 PASSEXCEItS. | i Cigantir Airship Equipped Willi , Modern Conveniences Travels at CJreat Speed. A great Caproni plane which is be-1 ing constructed near Milan to carry( 100 passengers was described by Au-i gustus A. Post before the state avia-j tion commission in sessiop in New i York. Mr. Post recently returned; from Europe, where he was sent by I the'Aero Club of America to study J the advance of aviation. He told ofi aeronautic advances in England, | France, Italy and Belgium, declaringj that "aviation is much further advanced in those countries than in thej United States.'? The Caproni which is being built at Milan will be ready for trial in a short time, Mr. Post declared. It is: driven by motors which have a total of 3,0ft0 horsepower and is only one of the spacious Biodels of passenger planes which are being built for extensive air transportation lines, some of which are already in operation in Europe. ; "In England," he continued, I "routes are already mapped out from [ England to India, as well as down [through Africa from Cairo to Cape Town. In France the government al| so is fostering the extension of air j [ lines, planning to join northern Afri-1 ca, to Paris by means of the air. The! Belgians and Italians are making | plans on similar ambitious lines." Mr. Post, w ho flew from London to Brussels in two hours and later [viewed the battlefields of Flanders from thP air, continued with descriptions of other European passenger I planes, fitted t0 carry from 18 to 36 ! passengers and equipped with luxurious fittings and wireless telephone and telegraph facilities. The fastest ' of these machines he said, had estab' - - - -j ion j llsftea an unomciai r?uiu m , miles an hour. He declared that "be-1 fore next summer there is no dobut ; | that will see such machines making the very nearly 200 miles an j ! hour." ! ? i SIGNALS FROM OTHER WORLDS? Inventer ol' Wireless Says Other Worlds May be Trying to Talk to Us. i London, Jan. 26?Interruptions of the Marconi wireless instruments by; imysterious undecipherable signals,' which were noted before the war and have been publicly referred to since, i !are specially featured in The Daily! 'mail in an interview published by i jthe paper. "We occasionally get very queer I sounds and indications which might j come from somewhere outside the earth,'? said Signor Marconi. *" We have had them both in England and1 ! America. The Morse signal letters oc ?fv ?-""V. inn.ior rrnmionev than I I'll 1 Willi 111 UV.1I ftivaiw * . VM??.? ^ others, but we have never yet picked up anything that could be translateu, into a definite message. "The fact that the signals have occurred simultaneously at New York and London with identical intensity seems to indicate that they must have originated at a very great distance.! We have not yet the slightest proof1 i of their origin. They might conceiv-! ably be due to some natural disturb-1 ance at a great distance, for in-' stance, an eruption of the sun causing electrical disturbances." | Asked whether possibly attempt: was being made by another planet to' communicate Signor Marconi said: | "I would not rule out the possi-[ bility of this, but there is not proof. We must investigate the matter much more thoroughly before we venture ;tipon a definite explanation." He added that the mysterious sounds are not confined to any particular diurnal period, they are equal-1 ly frequent by day and night. o i FINED UNDER NEW SCHOOL LAW, ?? Two Convictions in Dillon County: t 'omnnkniT A t fori/1. I anee Act. ______ I There have been two convictions in 1 Dillon county under the compulsory: school attendance law. The first was i Emanuel Johnson who lives near Lat-I ta and the second was David Sprad-| ley who lives on the Surles place' near Dillon. Johnson was tried some weeks ago but sentence was suspended pending1 'Johnson's promise to see that his' boy attended school. One of the con-' ditions was that Johnson should pay $5 for each day the boy absented' himself from school. The boy stayed I ;out of school 12 days and Johnson1 paid over to the magistrate the sum of $60.00. Spradley was let off with a fine of; $10. He promised to see that the boy attended school in the future. Quite' a number of parents have been forced under the new school law to send their children to school, but these are the only convictions for deliberate violations of the law. \ (iihmI Man Dead.

I Leader of "Mild Group" of Republicans Says Looks Like "Jig is Up." Washington, Jan. 26?The whole , question of peace treaty ratification j was flung back to the flour of the Senate with the virtual collapse today of the bi-partisan conference. The end came with amazing swiftness after Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, had informed Democrats, led by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, that there v. nn ftkonlrr. in ho rpePfVfl - I IUUIU UQ 1IU VUOIi^C V?*v . www. , w I tions respecting the Monroe Doctrine and the much discussed article ten. In the face of this the Democrats walked out for a private conference, agreeing meanwhile to make a reply to Senator Lodge early tomorrow. Due to Threatened Revolt. First news of the breaking off of diplomatic relations, so to speak, was given by Senator Hitchcock in a statement which broadly intimated that failure of Republicans to give ground in an effort to reach a basis of compromise was due to the threatened revolt of Republicans. Sen ate leaders including many ardently seeking an end to the long protracted treaty debate, frankly admitted to-i night that they could see no hope of! agreement. This meant, they said, J that the question would be fought ( out on the floor, beginning probably j tomorrow. Senator Hitchcock declin-; ed to speculate on the possibility of so early a renewal of hostilities, but i most Democrats declared nothing was to be gained by further secret con-, ferences. Insist Upon a Vote. "It looks as if the jig's up,'' de-j clared Senator McNary, Republican,! of Oregon, a leader of the mild re-' servation group and this seemed to j hit the nail on the head, in the opin-l ion of most Senators. Democrats discussed generally their, ':- "><'I i? u'-ic lenta - i 1111(1 U1 inutruuic u VI IV tively decided in the event of utter failure of the conference tomorrow to present to the Senate modifications to the treaty agreed upon by Democrats and insist upon a vote. o SHERIFF ROW EEL MUCH BETTER.'

Raleigh. N. C.. Jan. 23?Seven hours after 12 year old Lillian Ferrell had accidentally shot and killed Allen Swaim, Winston-Salem, stud-1 ent of Buies Creek academy at Buiesi* Creek, N. C., G. S. Ferrell, father of!j the girl, drove his big automobile jj into a live passenger seaan iuur uuink from Raleigh today, injuring all its' passengers, including Prof. J. A. j Campbell, head of Buies Creek acad-; emy, and five students who were accompanying the remains of young Swaim to Raleigh. Mr. Ferrell was on his way from Petersburg, Va., to his home. The injured, none of whom are seriously hurt, were rushed to a local | hospital for treatment after the col lision this afternoon. They were Prof. J. A. Campbell. Buies Creek; J. T. Creech, Smith-1? field; T. F. Jordan, Franklinville; F. N. Lambe, Buies Creek; Spurgeon Brigman, St. Paul; Charles Cude, Winston-Salem and G. S. Ferrell, Buies Creek. Tonight all the injured c except Professor Campbell and the f tw0 students, Creech and Jordan, had i been discharged from the hospital | and these three were resting well. c Allen Swaim, 16 year old son of S the Rev. V. M. Swaim, Baptist minis- 1 ter, of Winston-Salem, was shot at i 8:30 this morning in the Ferrell j i home, according to the Buies Creek 1 students.

WILL VOX SIKKKNDEK KAISKIt.L I Says it Will Take Army to Let For-|. nier Ituler. t Washington, Jan. 25?Unless Great j Britain actually invades Holland and; takes the former kaiser by force. Wil-j 1 iam of Hohenzollern will never be i brought to trial, in the opinion of of-;. ficials and diplomats here. L These officials discount the report jj that the kaiser will be tried in his* absence for the reason that he has al-! ready been tried and found guilty by f all of the allied nations. It is regard-, ?'d here as conclusive that Holland ^ has so rebuffed the allies that diplo-l macv undertaken to effect the surren-J dor of the kaiser is no longer I'easi- j ble. 1 Q In addition it was pointed out here' today, that the allies, even before the; dispatch of their note demanding thej'! kaiser, knew that Holland in all its r history had never surrendered a P?-|r litical prisoner. Therefore, the di-| plomatic opinion here is that Lloyd George simply pressed f?r 'he surren-,' der of the former monarch in order 1 t0 square himself with the British 0 electorate and with the treaty which * lit himself had framed. He will now f be in a position to say that he tried i l.j* every available method to bring s about the surrender of the one time r German monarch, and that Holland * has practically declared that the only wa\ to lit-t him out is for Germany i to make the request, but even "it- f der the laws and traditions of the <] v?i 1.1.1-1,., ,i_. <iW.|, mn-render would s only !?,. i: runted on condition rhsit 1 th?. extradited person be nof trie(j for r |i?>lirir;t| olfense. a Ser\ ii ill MetlioilNl I *11IIl*t ti.
