MY PERSONS DEAO 111 HARLEM WRECK New Electric Train of New York Centra! Jumps Track. NFARLY ALL WOMEN KILLED Train Running at High Speed Had Just Rounded a Curve When the Rear Coach Snapped Off?Dead and Injured Ground to Pieces. New York City.?An electric suburban train on the Harlem division o? the New York Central, known as the Brewster local, which left the Grand Central Station at 6.13 at pight, jumped the track just above jthe Bedford Park station in the SJronx. Four accommodation coaches, dn which were 240 passengers, were hurled down an embankment, turning over and over. Of the passengers killed nearly all were women. Of the others in the car few if any escaped injury. Most of the passengers were New Vflrt husinpss men who live at White Plains, Valhalla, Mount Kisco, Chappaqua and other points along the Harlem division and women returning from the city. The train, which was made up of two electric engines, a combination baggage and smoking car and four wooden passenger cars, was scheduled to run as an express to White Plains and as a local from there to Brewster. The train was in charge of Motorman Edward R. Rogers and his assistant George A. Jacobs. The conductor was L. W. Hopkins. Rogers, who lives in Wakefield, was arrested and locked up in the Bronx Park station. His assistant, Jacobs, was not ^rrested, but the Boroner took his name and address. Ira A. McCormick, general superintendent of the railroad, said an examination of the liv3 motor car showed that a 6mall wheel on the left side bad come off. The wheel was found alongside the track near 204th street. After Motorman Rogers h^d been arrested he said there were two men pn the motor car besides himself and his assistant. The guests were Jefferson Davis, an operating inspector, and n. division suDerintendent named Bronson. He said he took the curve fast, but had no orders to do it Blower. The entire train with the exception of the rear car had cleared the curve when this coach was snapped off the track. The car turhed over on its Bide and went grinding along the outside track, on which it had fallen, Tor 200 yards. Then the pull upon the other three wooden coaches ahead of it became so great that one by one they also left the rails and turned over. As these four cars were dragged along the rails they were literally ground to pieces and passengers on them were fairly shaken to death lik3 a rat in the iaws of a terrier. Ee ore the motorman could stop his trrin the two motor cars also had been pulled off the rails, but remained standing, as did the smoker. The dead and injured were strewn all the way from 201st street on under the Woodlawn iron bridge at '^UtlU dliXCl,dUU IUCU tu iVI LU OLICCI, where the train finally came to a 6top. For a distance of more than 1000 feet the tracks were strewn with parts of the bodies of the dead. Many of the bodies picked up along ihe highway were ground to pieces and nearly stripped. For^ 200 yards from the point where the train first jumped the track to the rear end of the last overturned car the trackside was strewn with twisted figures and scraps of timber and steel. The police of the Tremont station found lanterns and pushed their way through the crowd about the wreck toward the twisted mass on the tracks. Almost at the same time that .they arrived, firemen came down the side of the cliff with axes and hand extinguishers and went to work at the blaze in the smoking car. As fast as the wounded were got out they were carried up the hill to the 207th street viaduct and there placed in ambulances, which had responded to the general call sent in by the police to six hosDitals. The work of rescue was difficult. In many instances the police and the volunteer workers who were first on the scene xiau lu pry cue wuuuueu i:uui under car seats and heavy trucks with such rough implements as they could gather from the junk heap of the ;wreck. In one instance two policemen and a citizen worked almost an hour to extricate a /woman and her child from underneath a seat in the last car. She wa3 Mrs. Charles Gilchrist and her daughter was Hannah, four years old. Mrs. Gilchrist escaped with only a long rip across her forelead. The baby, whom she had protected with her body, was absolutely Unharmed. Hardly had the procession of wounded begun to make its way up the hill when Inspector Richard Walsh and fifty extra policemen arrived. The first work that the inspector set bis men to do was to clear away the crowd that blocked the gully where the wrecked train lay. The police had to use their clubs and It wa3 an hour before they had man?tged to push the crowd back up the eiupc. With the wounded removed from Girl Cashier an Embezzler. Miss Flora Steipel, a cashier in the employ of N. Snellenburg & Co., owners of a big department store in Philadelphia, was arrested charged with embezzling funds of the company to the amount of $25,000. San Francisco's Plan.

From a livery stable near by a policeman had brought a plank runway. This was used to bridge the ten foot jump between the walled gully and the track below. One policeman stood at the top of this bridge with a lantern. For hours a procession of policemen carrying stretchers passed over this footway and up the bank to the place where wagons were awaiting to carry the dead down to the Bronx Park pon ^ n 4- ] /% n TKA TN Q ol/Qfl I OldllUUi X 11C V/t V/ W U TT II n.fl ^ # mm the entrance to the gully had to be pushed back with clubs. t A child's red woolen mitten was ! tagged "No. 12" and placed on the I same stretcher with a bundle which I had nothing human about it except long yellow curls. McCreary's livery stable, which stands ou the bank just above the scene of the wreck, was converted into a temporary morgue during the first hours of the work of removing the dead. Here the dead were placed in rows down the long lane between the stalls of the horses. The horses soon became so restive that they threatened to break from their stalls and trample the maimed bodies on the floor. Then it was that after the first hour of confusion had passed the dead were removed to the Bronx Park police station. Assistant District Attorney Smyth declared that the broken wheel had nothing whatever to do with causing the disaster. He said that the new electric motors are too heavy for the roadbed equipment. He said he found a section of rail ripped out of place and the spikes which had held it in place on the ties cut as if with a knife. Mr. Smyth said the electric motor which hauled the train was as heavy as a great locomotive and tender combined, but, being shorter and more compact than a locomotive the great weight is concentrated. The bolts holding the rail3 were unable to withstand the tremendous pressure of the ponderous motor as it whirled along the track, according to Mr. Smyth. The great weight and the terrific- speed formed a combination which the roadbed was unable to resist. Tf Ma onnr>lii?jtnna nrove correct. Mr. Smyth said that it would amount to criminal negligence on the part of the responsible officers of the New York Central road, and their arrest would follow.

Washington, D.

PRISONERS ALL PREFER JAIL Miss Ivonny Threatens to March 1000 Women on to the Floor of Par liamcnt if Demands Arc Not Granted. London.?The women suffragists, whose leaders have sworn not to delist in their violent agitation until Parliament has granted their demands, appear likely to give the authorities considerable trouble. They made a more determined and bettor organized demonstration than ever before, in the course of which over slsty women were arrested. It was nearly midnight before they were all bailed out. In the afternoon hundreds of women made a determined attack on the House with the object of forcing their way into the building. The police had been forewarned of the attempt, and a large force, in uniform. In plain clothes and mounted, was on duty about the building. The doors of the House were shut In the faces of the women, and the police attempted to drive them back. In so doing the mounted men galloped among the women, who struggled fiercely. Many of them were thrown down into the mud and were badly hurt. The demonstrators were kept out of the House proper, although the fight with the police outside continued for a long time. Several women journalists, who were roughly ? " i l-i-l? avai. nanaiea oy miaua.tt?, iuiulcu. uioi twenty of the so-called "suffragettes" were arrested and taken to the nearest police station. During the confusion following the first onslaught of the women six suffragists succeeded in obtaining access to the public lobby and attempted to rush through the corridor leading into the House, but they were seized by policemen and ejected. At the conclusion of a meeting of the suffragists the women proceeded a second time to the House of Commons." They were met by a large force of police, and exciting scenes ensued. Every few moments the women made rushes at the police, and they now complain of the alleged brutality on the part of the officers of t.he law. Sixteen additional arrests were made. It is asserted that over 100 of the women suffragists have sworn to get themselves arrested In order to draw attention to their cause. Miss Annie Kenny, one of the leaders, who has been imprisoned three times, declares that if the suffrage is not granted to wo.ien at this session she will march 1000 women cotton operatives from the North, who will confront the Ministers on the floor of the House of Commons. Fifty-six women suffragists arrested in and around the Parliamentary Building were arraigned in a police court charged with disorderly conduct and resisting the police. Mrs. Despard, a sister of General French, who led the attack on the' House of Commons, was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or go to prison for twenty-one days. Some of the women who had been imprisoned before for engaging ' in HUUl ciglSl ucmuuDiiauuua hcid $10, with the option of a month's imprisonment. The other prisoners were fined $5 with the alternative of two weeks in jail. All chose to go to prison. CHILDREN DES IN FLAMES. Father and One Child Jump From Window?Mother Was Away.

I ' IBM WOES HIS V Senator Smoot's Speech in the United States Senate. He Never Had But One Wife and Slic Lives Now?He is Loyal to the Constitution. Washington, D. C. ? "I formally and solemnly aver that in every vote and action as United States Senator I shall be governed in the future, as I have been in the past, only by my convictions of what is best for the whole people of the United States. 1 have never taken any oath or obligation, religious or otherwise, which conflicts in the slightest degree with my duty as a Senator or as a citizen. I owe no allegiance to my church or other organization which in any way interferes with mysupreme allegiance in civil affairs to my country?an allegiance which I freely, fully and gladly give." With these words Reed Smoot, of Utah, apostle of the Mormon Church, on the floor of the Senate, concluded the only speech he has made in that body in defense of his right to retain his seat. At the outset he explained that the only reason he had decided to take the floor on his own behalf was that there were certain matters that could be known only to himself, and he felt that the Senate was entitled to a frank statement as to his personal attitude respecting those matters. "First, I deBire to state," he said, "as I have repeatedly heretofore stated, to the Senate and to the country, that I am not and never have hocn > nnlvcamiot T never hnvp hart but one wife, and she is my present wife." Taking up the charge that there have been polygamous marriages siince the manifesto against them, Senator Smoot said: "I have no hesitation in declaring to the Senate and to the American people that, in my opinion, any man who has married a polygamous wife since the manifesto should be prosecuted, and I care not who the man might be, or what position he might hold in the church, he should receive the punishment pronounced by the law against his crime." Senator Smoot then entered into a discussion of the famous "endowment oath," which, it has been charged, disqualifies him for the office of Senator. The Senator declared it was a purely religious character and not hostile to this or any other nation. GIRL'S STRANGE DEATH. Found Hanged to a Tree in a Public Park.

American Assistance Asked For Relief of Millions. New York City.?Unless immediate succor be sent to the Chinese famine sufferers in the district north of the Yangtse River the lives of 10,000,000 starving Chinese farmers will be snuffed out within a. few weeks. A communication to this effect was received by E. R. Johnston, of the Christian Herald, from a prominent civic society in China which has been soliciting aid for the famine sufferers from the nations of the world. Immediate steps will be taken by charitable institutions of this city to* send relief to the sufferers. "The famine in North China is the most, terrible In the history of the world." said Mr. Johnston. "Not even the famines of India can compare with it. It covers an area of _ _ _ A A AAA n#<??n?tA rv* i 1 rtf Wif V? more Lnau *v,uw oquaic luuco, mm a population of 10,000,000. It is inevitable that this whole population will be wiped out unless relief be sent at once."Last October and November it rained in this district for forty days without cessation. EveVy crop was utterly ruined. The Chinese of that section rely for food entirely upon what they raise. They are mostly small land holders or tenants. "The whole country was covered with water, and a3 there were no crops there was no seed for a new planting. In December 1,000,000 of the 10,000,000 inhabitants were destitute and thousands had died. By February 1 the whole population was starving and the suffering was terrible." Conditions in Rnssia. Alexis Aiadyin, ex-member of th? Russian Duma and leader of the Labor Group in that body, declared on his arrival here that there will be a million deaths from starvation in Russia within the next three months. Aiadyin comes to lecture at'Yale and Harvard and to acquaint the American people with the conditions in Russia. His return to Russia will be governed by the result of the pending election through which he may be sent to the new Duma as the representative of the Peasant Party of Simbirsk, Volga Province. "Thirty millions of Russian people are to-day on the verge of starvation," he said. "In many of the provinces the crops have been a failure, and conditions have not improved during the year. In March, April and May it is urobable that a million people will die. The Government Is alarmed over the outlook, and money has been appropriated for relief. This money was diverted, and at present there is an investigation on to discover what became of the famine funds." THAW TRIAL A CRAZE. Steamers Reaching Liverpool Raided by Crowds Seeking Newspapers. Liverpool.?Long cabled reports of the Thaw trial are filling some of the most prominent columns of every newspaper every day. They have only whetted the eagerness of a section of the public here for fuller details, with the result that each incoming transatlantic steamer is boarded by a crowd that is frantic to obtain copies of New "York papers. The passengers were quick to realize the demand and they refuse to sell except at good prices. It does not matter if the papers are torn and travel stained so long as their accounts of the trial are intact. The stewards on the steamers are reaping j a glorious harvest, often obtaining seven or eight shillings for a single copy. The steamship companies have forbidden their employes to traffic in 1 newspapers, but the trade goes on surreptitiously. The buyers are chiefly young men and youths from city offices.

I bad always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that 1 thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before i bad used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since, i also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap' from her lieail, and it. worked like a charm, as it cleansed and * . healed the scalp at the same time.
