SCORES DEAD AND INJURED. Heavy Toll in Iowa Railroad Disas ter.-Forty-five Dead, Forty Injured. Marshalltown, Iowa, March 21. The wreck at 8.15 a. m. today at Green Mountain of Trains Nos. 19 and 21 of the Rock Island, running over the Great Western from Mar shalltown to Waterloo, has proven the most disastrous in the history of ,the Iowa railroad castastrophes. For ty-two are known to be dead, twenty six of whom have been identified. Farty were injured, some of them fa tally. The unidentified dead are in the undertaking shops at Marshall town, many so horribly mangled that 'dentification may he impossible. Piiaetically all of the dead and iin jured were from Iowa and North and South Dakota. The Catholic Hopi tal, the railroad branch of the Y. M. C. A. and an apartment house near the Chicago Great Western -depot have been converted into surgical rooms, in which are the injured. Ev ery surgeon and physician in Mar Jhalltown and the -town of Green Mountain and Gladbrook, near by, is in the city, doing everything possible to relieve the suffering. Cause of Catastrophe. A little freight wreck on the Rock Island last night, at Shelburg, in which Brackeman Reynolds, of Ce dar Rapids, was killed and Fireman Herman, also of Cedar Rapids, was possibly fatally scalded, was the in idirect cause of the Green Mountai tragedy. The Rock Island track from Cedar Rapids north, the St. Paul Line, had not been cleared this morning, and it became necessary to detour over the Great Western. Trains Nos. 19 anid 21 were sent from Cedar Rapids to Marshalltown, while Train 49, for Sioux Falls, followed shortly after, escaping the wreck. At Marshalltown Trains 19 and 21 were coupled together as they came in. By this arrangement both en gines were in front, running back wards. Because there is no table at Reinbeek, where the trains, expect ed to leave the main line, the leo motives were backing. The ill-fated train consisted of h-irteen cars. " The Pullman Colon ial,'' at the rear of Train No. 21, from St. Louis, was leading the train next to Engine No. 1,008. Then came a smoker, and following that a day coach, in which there were many women and children. The train' left Marshafltown. short ay after 8 o 'cloick. It was going at a speed estimated to be between twen ty-five and thirty miles an hour. About four and a half miles beyond SGreen Mountain at the top of a hill: 'is a cut about twelve feet deep. It was in this that the tender on the An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment. This liniment takes the place 'of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates -without rubbing-through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief. Here's the Proof. Mr. JAh.Ss c. LEE, of 1100 9th st., S.E.,Washington, D.C., writes: "Thirty years ago I fell from a scaffold and seri ouslymnjured my back. I suffered terri bly at times; from the small of my back all around my stomach was just as if I had been beaten with a club. 1 used every plaster I could get with no relief. Sloan's Liniment took the pain right out, and I can now do as much ladder work as any man in the shop, thanks to Liniment Mr. J. P. EVAss, of Mt. Airy, G a, says: "After being afflicted for three years with rheumatism, I used Sloan s I.inment, and was cured sound and well, and am glad to say I haven't been troubled with rheumatism since. by lejgwas badly swollen from my hip to my knee. one-half a bottle took the pain and swelling out." Sloan's Liniment -has no equal as a remedy for Rheu matism, Neuralgia or any pain or stiffness in the muscles or joints. Prices, 25c.,50c.and $1.00 Sloan's book on horses, cattle, sheep . fr-ee. Addres - Dr. Earl S. Sloan, M. eadi:g engine suddenly jumped the traek. This threw the head locomo tive, No. S20, into the side of the cut. The clay of thes ides was soft and the engine went into it and stopped iStantlv. The sudden stoppage ditched the second locomotive and the heavy train crushed the day coach and smoker upon the Pullman. The smoker and day coach were instant ly telescoped, and (hardly an occu pant of either car escaped death or injury. In tihe twinkling of an eye all was in indescribable confusion. While the final ten cars of the train remain ed on the .trqek, the shock was suffi eient to send the passengers sprawl ing from their seats. Conductor Wil liam Worst, on the St. Paul train, was the first to grasp the situation. He dispatched trainmen back to flag Train 419, while trainmen were hur iied to Gladbrook and Green Moun tain. WOULD DISSOLVE MEAT TRUST Federal Jury Indicts National Pack ing Company.-Long Fight Ahead. Chicago, Ill., March 21.-Eight weeks after it had begun its investi gation for alleged yiolations of the Sherman anti-trust law,- the Federal grand jury today returned indiet men,ts against the National Packing company and ten subsidiary con cerns. Immediately upon annoulcement of the indictments before Judge Ken nesaw A. Laindis, the government fil ed a suit seeking the dissolution of the National Packing company. The I latter action is known as a suit n equity and besides those indicted six teen firms and individuals are made defendants. In a statement issued by the Na tional Packing company, Ralph Crews. a general counsel. tonight giv es some inkling of the determination to fight the government to the limit. His statement follows "The company was organized in March, 1908, for the purpose of econ omic operation of certain subsidiary iorporations named jointly with it in the indictment retul'med today by the Federal grand jury for the North ern district of Illinois. Its organiza tion was directed by the best counse] obtainable, who then believed, and now believe, that its organization and the operation of its subsidiary corn panies in no way transgressed the provisions of the Sherman act; aAf in this respect it is practically simi lar to neariy all the large corpora tio-ns of th~e country. ".The total percentage of the bus iness done by the corporation con trolled by the National Packing corn painy 'forms but a small part of the whole volume of the packing indus try. This proportion could not con stitute a monopoly in any sense o.i the word. Instead of operating tc 'restrain the trade' of its subsidiary companies, as alleged in the indict ment, it is a fact that the companies have all shown a ~healthy increase since the formation of the National. The company is operated by its of flers purely as a competitive and in dependent factor ije t'he trade. "The indictment today returne~d and the bill in equity today filed by the district attorney are directed at the organization and operation of this company. These operations have at all times, beein frank and open, as we are confident that the courts wil'l sustain our contentions with respect to their legaility.'' NBW "STATE FLAG" ACT.

HANDSOME AUDITORIUM. Major Coker Presents Coker Col lege $30,000 Bnilding and Princely Sum of $150,000. Hartsville. Mareh 22.-Two years ago Major J. L. Coker. who has done so much toward the development of Hartsville, a.nd the surounditng coun try, conceived the idea of establieh ing a woman 's college in the Pee Dee country; this idea soon mate rialized and Coker College for Wo men was established on the grounds formerly occupied by the Welsh Neck High School. With his great ability as an organizer the College has developed until today it is a po tent factor in the educational sys tem of South Carolina. Patriotic to wards his hometown, and having al ways the welfare of his people at heart, Major Cdker gave to the eol lege a magnificent office building and auditorium, costing $30,000 today. The corner stone for this building was laid with the usual exercises by the Grand Lodge of Masons of South Caroliina; ma-t prominent Masons were in attendance, and the oecas iun marks an epoch not only in the eduv-ational development of the Pee Dee country, but the whole State. Not content with what he had al ready done for the College, Major Coker sent for his friend, Associati Justice C. A. Woods, and announced to Coker College and South Cairolina that a fund of $150,000 had been placed in the hands of five trustees as an endowment for their :College and assuring it a. place in the college world. Major Coker never thought .that he was doing the biggest, and most magnificent act in the history of South Carolina; he little thought Ithat in this announcement he was cre.ating an example that other -men with means would ha.ve to follow. The gift is made, and Dr. Baldy, the president of the College, voiced the sentiment of all present wihen 'he said: "It is the prinicely gift of a princely man for the people he loves.''
