Crowded with 120 lanjrliinpr, lljrht-henrted Ili.ch School pupils, n trolley car was in collision with nn express train, with the result that seven pirls and one hoy were killed and I wenty-four were seriously injured. Fifty sustained slight injuries, which did not make necessary their removal to hospitals. The accident occurred in Clifton avenue. where the tracks of the North Jersey Street Railway Company and of the Delaware, Raeknwnnna and West0 inn Railroad cross at rijrlit nnrrlos. An express train was flying past the street !' S.40 a. m. when the trolley came sliding down a slicht incline on slip (icry rails and struck the side of the loconiotive. The hody of the car*was lifted off the trucks ami sent in splinters to all sides. Roys and jrirls were lifted hi^li in tli? air and thrown hWri. ing an*l dying oil the snow. It was five hours before the last of tho don*l had bron identified and tho last trace of the disaster removed from the cross* Inc. Quick as was the tvork of rescue, it and hardly begun before stens were taken to place tlie blame for the aeoiIrr.t. The conductor of the trolley car was arrested and placed under $2000 bail on a charge of manslaughter. The police, the County Physician and the founty Prosecutor started three sen.arito investigations. Orders wore sent .it:r to arrest rhe motorninn and the c'ttocr, hut they wove both in the hospitals. and were probably fatally Injured. Kve-v public oflleial in Newark lias Condemned the crossing where the accident occurred as the worst kind of a flvnth trap. It was said for years efforts have horn made to have t'oe crossing changed, and it has been repeatedly urged that the chief danger was to children goiug and coming front the High School. In his ju.nual message, made public last month. Mayor Doremus called the crossing a "death tran." and said it was "dangerous to children on their way to school." Newark was thrown into dcen antl unlrersnl mourning by the accident, and ret no one said it was unexpected. Tho dead are: Alma I.eohnberg, fourteen years old; neck broken and terribly mangled: identified by rings on band.

Peter Brady, who has been on the road for four years, was the niotonnan running the ear. and George M. Gould was the eorduefor. Mounted Policeman William Stnclcy. af the Second Prcciuct. accompanied by Mounted Policeman ITenry Wolfe, arrived at the railroad tracks on their way from the station house to their beats just as the Rates were lowered. They were on the north side. Reining in their horses they waited for tho train to pass. Both saw the approach jf the train and the car and witnessed the crash. Policeman Rtueky knew that his daughter Ednn was one of the passengers on the ear and did not wait to search tor his child, but galloped away ?o the nearest patrol box and telephoned to the Fourth Precinct station for policemen and ambulances. Then h? ye tinned back to the wreck and began *o look for liis dauehter. Policeman Rtuekv had helped remove three rf the injured when he took hold of the hand of his daughter Edna, sisteen years old. A una rent lv she was lifeless. Frantically her father tore nwav the timbers that held her and carried her to one side. A physician found that she had not been, injured, but bad been overcome by the ejeitern ent or stunned hr the shock. She was revived and sent home, but is still ill and under a physician's care. The mangled bodies of the boys and girls were lying in the mow. some a considerable distance from the railroad tracks. Severed hands, arms and less were strewn about.

Judgment was given in favor of ItudlofCs heirs, admitting their claim for the large amount of STOU.OtK) to lie paid by the Venezuelan Government. The United States Legation watched the case very closely. Secretary Russell and Naval Attache Johnston attended the sessions of the court and followed the arguments. Tiie decision is interesting. Inasmuch as the German and llritisli Legations have maintained that justice for foreigners does not exist in Venezuela. Washington, 1). C.?The RndlofT ! claim was one of the largest brought | by American citizens against the Venezuela n Government", and had it not been settled would have come up ''or adjudication before the mixed commission provided'for in the protocol just signed here by Secretary Ila.v and Mr. ltowen. The decision is a source of intense satisfaction to the othcials here. The contract price of the proposed market was $700,000. The claim was for a like amount, and the judgment of the courc shows that it was granted In full. Considerable work had been done by the American concessionaires toward the construction of the proposed market when a chancre of administration occurred in Venezuela. Then the concession to liudloff was annulled hecause of the objection of the Government to having such an establishment controlled hy foreigners. Probably not more than half the amount of the claim allowed had been expended when the work on the market was stopped by the Government's action.. LOST ON COAST STEAVBOAT, I VtM?l Fonndrretl In r?

C., WEDNl OUSTED A CRIMINOLOGIST Head of National Education Bureau Objected to Scientist's Flans. I)r. ."T:trI)oiia!(l YVuntcil to Experiment on fcclioat Children itnd 1'roOnitor Llarrlx IUinoTPil llitn. Washington, I). C.?Professor W. T. Harris, the lioad of the Uuited States Bureau of Education, has a peculiar controversy on liis hands. It lias grown out of his action In removing from the bureau Dr. Arthur MacDonald, who has for many years been conducting sonic unique inquiries Into the statistics of criminology. In a laboratory in the Deportment of Education Building, equipped with all maimer of instruments for the study of psychology. Dr. MacDonald has mad,? a large number of special invesations, which have been published in reports from time to time. Of '.ate it lias been his aim to apply some of the principles which have seemed to result front his inquiries to the examination of pupils in public schools. To this course there has been violent objection. Dr. Harris, discussing the matter, admitted that the reason for dropping the criminologist from the Department of Education was a difference of opinion between himself and Dr. MacDonn'd. He said he bad recommended that tiie study of education as a preventive of crime and pauperism he dropped front his bureau. He gave as a reason for his action that, if a eer, tain child should become known as possessing bodily signs of degeneracy. It would create a suspicion against that child atnl work injustice to it. ' Common humanity." continued Dr. Harris, "makes a child born of criminals and possessing sitms of jIotni?vi.-t* an object of tender euro and camr.ilsoration. That a child who is so un'o"tunnte as to inherit a hiirh palate or protruding cars or a distorted form should he singled out and labeled as a criminal bt fore he lias done the first criminal act is in the opinion of most people a fiendish method of treatlug the unfortunate. It would not he tolerated in any civilized comtnunity. "After tlie child lias made himself I Icr.own as a criminal liy overt acts all j a nv? that he may be separated front j the rest of the community and that lie ! may he placed in a reform school, j "For n teacher to take an inventory | c.f bodily peculiarities relating to the form and size of the skull, the position and shape of the ears, the height of the ' cavity of tli? palate within the mouth, is a piece of impertinence that would not lie tolerated in any community. "f need not say that it is entirely contrary to the spirit of our criminal law to preiudiro and condemn a human Imhig for the shone that lie has Inherited and not for the deed which he personally commits." TEN KILLED >N HOTEL FIRE. Stairway Humeri nml Many IVr oiu Ifnri to Jump from Windows. Cedar Itapids, Iowa. ? Six bodies were taken from the ruins of the Clifton Hotel, in this city, which was destroyed by fire. Four more remained to he discovered. Two of tIt^ bodies have been identified as those of \V. A. Mowry and E. <!. Young, fore- , man for the Western Union Telegraph Company in Davenport. The other bodies are so charred as to make identification practically impossible. Throe or four injured persons are in I a serious condition. About forty in ' nil were hurt, most of them by jumpins from windows. The blaze started at 2.30 o'clock a. m. The hotel, a three-story brick veneer structure. Is said to have been a veritable tiro trap. The flames started In a pile of rubbish in the basement, presumably ignited by defective electric light wires. Escape by the stairway soon was cut off and there followed a stampede for the windows, the only means of exit left. The street below tvas filled with a crowd scarcely less frantic than the desperate people In the fast burning building. Nearly every oiro In tlie hotel lingered to the last moment, urged by the people to wait, in the hope of assistance. Then n cry would tell that the fire had reached some one. or the smoke bad made 1t Impossible to breathe, and one after another the victims jumped to the street. In a short space of time the street, was filled with men and women bruised, battered. broken limbed and half crazed. All were in their night garments. BOOK LOVER A DEFAULTER. II. T. Coidwln.
