AN APPALLING DISASTER
Passenger and Freight Trains Collide
In Indianapolis Suburbs, Scattering
Ceath and Destruction.
Sixteen Dead; Fifty Hurt.
A <sr?n/?ial frr\m InHin!) r?r?1i<s Tn(]
says: Fifteen persons were killed
and over fifty injured, some fatally,
Saturday morning by a collision between
a special passenger train on the
Big Four railroad" and a freight engine
drawing coal cars. The accident happened
in the edge of the city.
The passenger train of twelve
* coaches was carrying 954 persons,
nearly all of whom were students of
Purdue university, and their friends
from Lafayette to Indianapolis, for the
annual football game between the
Purdue team and the Indiana university
squad for the state championship
which was to have been fought Saturday
afternoon.
In the first coach back of the engine
were the Purdue football team,
substitute players and managers.

trainer and seven substitute players
of the university team were killed and
every one of the fifty-three other persons
in the car were either fatally or
seriously injured.
From Joy to Gloom.
From the twelve passenger coaches j
were coming the joyous cries of a j
thousand rooters for Purdue, clad in j
gala dress with colors streaming, j
while in the front coach sat twenty
r muscular fellows trained to the hour,
on whom the hopes of a brilliant victory
on the gridiron were confidently
placed.
k Around a curve at the Eighteenrh I
street cut, Engineer Schumaker found
directly in front of him the flight
engine and coal cars moving sfowfy
m from a switch leading to a gravel pit.
He reversed his engine and jumped.
The crash hurled the passenger engine
and three front coaches against
the steel freight cars loaded with coal
that plowed their way through and

weighing many tons fully sixty human
beings.
The first car, in which were the J
players, was completely demolished, j
the roof being torn away and landing
across a car of coal, while the body i
of the car was reduced to kindling j
wood against the side of the st.eel i
freight cars. The second coach, con- ;
taining the band of musicians, was ,
partially telescoped, while the third !
was overturned and hurled down a {
15-foot embankment.
The other coaches did not leave ;
the track. Immediately after the )
shock the passengers,men and women, j
began the work of tearing away the j
wreckage and pulling out dead and !
dying classmates and fraternity j
brothers. The young women perform
ed heroic work. Though the bodies [
* ? i. uAM.:ki? 1
* were in several instances uumuij j
mangled?one completely and one par- !
tially beheaded?they took upon their j
laps the heads of the dying and in- j
S jured and soothed their sufferings as ;
best they could until the surgeons j
arrived.
A general alarm was sounded and j
* every assistance the city could afford :
was rushed to the wreck, which was i
three miles from the business center, j
While the dead.and injured were be- ;
ing carrid to the morgues and hospit- j
als, the work of tearing away the |
wreck and rescuing those pinned oe- i
neath went on. Big muscular stu- j
dents wept aloud as they stood over
the bodies of their dead friends and ;
fellow workers or gazed helpless on j
' the sufferings of their college mates, j
writhing in pain. To add to the hor- :

dents after a hard fignt.
* While the work of rescue was going
; on there arrived in the city the op- ;
posing learn and over nine hundred
cheering followers of thei red and
white of Indiana university at BloomIngton.
As the happy and excited students
poured Irom the train news of
the tragedy to the black and gold of
Perdue was received. Instantly all
k was sadness and sympathy. The j
& throng melted into sorrowing groups J
I* that separated to search the morgue j

for the scene of the wreck to lend
any possible aid.

Twenty-one men. three women and

Some of ihe peculiar features of the j
disaster, in addition to the startling j
loss of life, are that the fire was prae- i
tically extinguished in twenty minutes;
that the police could learn of
but one person being injured, other
than those who lost their lives, and
that the property loss was only
$7,000. '
Were Celebrating Hallowe'en.
The only person injured, so far as
can be learned, is Larry Janequinn, 47
years old. who was burned about the 1
face and hands by leaping from the
second floor fire escape to the ground.
In several apartments Hallowe'en parties
were in progress and the guests
at these added greatly to the number
of persons in the house and made the
crush and jam to escape more than it
ordinarily would have been. Although
plentifully provided with fire
escapes, front and rear, escape by
that means was cut off a few minutes
after the fire started by the bodies ot
the dead becoming wedged in the
openings) leading to the ladders. The
fire had been burning for seme minutes
before it was discovered. It had
started in the basement and. rushing
nnward. had attacked the stairway
leading to the apartments. In a short
space of time the flames had so enveloped
the stairway that egress from
the building by it was impossible. The
house from the third to the fifth floor
was entirely destroyed.
AH Exits Entirely Blocked.
At the windows, front and rear,
bodies of men and women were jammed,
showing that a desperate struggle
to get free had resulted in the
'complete choking of these exits to the
fire escapes, and had been the cause
of a number of inmates being suffocated.
Lying on a bed alongside a window
at the rear of the fourth floor, the firemen
found the bodies of five men.
Each had clutched the one next to him
in an endeavor to push him away in
order to get to the fire escape outside.
The features of the men were distorted,
%some with, rage, others with
agony, and, in two instancesf'the men
had gripped ftach other so^ard that

WENTZ HELD FOR RANSOM.
Young Millionaire Now Said to bo
Prisoner in Cumberland Mountains.
Robert L. Brown, president of a
prominent coal company in Wise county,
Virginia, is quoted as having said
that on Friday afternoon the Wen'z
family received tidings of Edward L.
Wentz, the missing young Philadelphia
millionaire.
A shrewd looking young man, it is
stated, appeared at the Wentz mansion
at Big Stone Gap. Va., and requested
a conference with Dr. John S.
Wentz, father of tke missing young
man.
He was admitted, when he told Dr.
Wentz that his son was alive and well,
and that he had been authorized to
say that for $100,000 young Wentz,
whn was then in handcuffs in the Cum
berland mountains, would be delivered
to the family unharmed.
Dr. Wentz, it is said, told the stranger
that he would have first to bring
him a letter from his son as an evidence
that he was alive, and that then
his proposition would be considered.
The stranger agreed to this, and
immediately left for the mountains.
He was shadowed and was seen to
get off the train at the mining village
of Esserville, when he disappeared in
the direction of the Cumberland mountains.

New York Journal of Commerce Issues !
Final Report for the Season?Some
Interesting
Deductions. i
I
I
j
The- Journal of Commerce. New I
York, issued its October cotton report j
Friday?the final one of the season.
The points of inquiry were:
1. Increase or decrease in condition j
compared with last month.
2. Increase or decrease in yield compared
with last year.
3. The proportion of crop picked.
No attempt is made at estimating j
the yield; that amusement is left to
readers. The remarks of correspondents
are so much better than percentage
reports that we have refrained
from averaging the latter. The concensus
of 1,275 reports made by correspondents
indicate a decrease of 6
points in condition during the month,
a decrease in yield and of 57 per cent
on the crop picked, the average date
of replies being October 21. These reports
antedate the recent frost wave,
which seems to have done little damage
except, to top crops and consequently
affects the above returns but
slightly.
Reports from the whole cotton belt
show weather conditions to be more
favorable for picking. Even had the
crop not been from two to four weeks
late, picking would have been delayed
by a scarcity of labor. Last year at
this time our reports show the crop
to have been about three-quarters
picked, compared with 57 per cent
now. The remaining 45 per cent has
been subjected in many localities to
frosts, in numerous instances killing
ones. Correspondents' opinions regarding
the effects of frost are conflicting,
but it is very often regarded as beneficial.
What damage fro&t has dona is
chiefly confined to the top crop, the
prospects for this portion of the yield
being universally poor, principally on
account of the lateness 01 the season.
There is quite a general tendency
to market cottsn as fast as ginned.
Correspondents' remarks, as distinguished
from their percentage reports,
are not gloomy if the complaints
of top crop prospects are eliminated.
Arkansas and the territories j
may be excepted, however. There tho |
season has been so far backward that
r>rnn has hpen verv late in open- I
ing, picking having just commenced
in some localities,v and the per cent
already picked being less than in any
other states.
Advices from Texas are conflicting
to such an extent as to leave a reasonable
doubt whether that state will
not yield as much as. last year.
The average decrease in condition
since last month is 6 points and all
states, with tthe exception of Missouri.

being 7 points lower; South Carolina,

while Missouri increased 4.

Carolina; in Georgia it is 65; Florida

GORMAN COMES AGAIN. [
Maryland Senator Has More to Say }
Regarding President's Policy
Anent the Race Issue.
i
At a democratic mass meeting held ;
in Baltimore Friday night at the close ;
of the. campaign, speeches were made j
by Edwin Warfield, the candidate lor ;
governor, and a number of leading 1
democrats, including United States
Senator A. P. Gorman. An immense j
crowd was present. j
Senator Gorman took occasion to |
again denounce the policy of President j
Roosevelt regarding the race issue, j
He said in part: j
"The Anglo-Saxon has never, and !
will never, tolerate the social equality j
or the political domination of the no- j
gro race. The south has passed j
through scenes of turbulence and dis- |
order and rape and riot. By amend- j
ments to state constitutions and by j
legislation the whites have secured j
control, for time being, of their own
local governments, and the colored j
race is no longer a political factor in j
any state south of the Potomac.
"For more than thirty years this j
question has aroused sectional feeling j
and divided parties. It has threaten- j
ed the peace of the states, put in jeop- j
ardy homes and paralyzed industrial j
efforts. All thoughtful men realize ;
that this canker upon the body politic I
must be eliminated and the supremacy
of the white government assured.
"While President McKinley kept his
party obligations as fully as any man, j
he ceased making partisan war upon I
the people of the south. But that j
people removed, at least temporarily,
the incubus that oppressed them. The j
action of the states was sustained bv j
the courts and confidence was re- i
t
stored. The old and young men of the j
south took on new life. Developmeift j
and progress resulted bcth north and J
south, until the stream of prosperity
and enterprise was flowing from one
end of the land to the other."

FOES OF LABOR UNIONS.
I
New Association formed With D. M.
Parry at Its Head.
A Chicago dispatch says: With the
election of D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis,
as its president, the formation of
the Citizens' Industrial Association of
America was completed Friday night.
The organization is national in scope,
and includes manufacturers, traders
or other employers of labor, local general
organizations and citizens' alliances,
having among other things as
its object the dealing with the labor
problem in all its phases.
Other officers were elected as follows:
J. C. Craig, of Denver, head of
the Colorado state and Denver citizens'
alliance, first vice president; J.
T. Hoile, of the Manufacturers' Association
of New York, third vice president;
A. S. Rosencranz, of the citizens'
alliance, Evansville, Ind., treasurer.
A convention of the association will
be held in Indianapolis next February.
It was decided that all members of
the association shall pay an initiation
fee of $25 to $100, and all members
shall pay dues at 50 cents per annum
per employing members; the amount
in no case to be less than $10 nor
r? thon OTitl n m
Hit* A A <p^VV CA4A AA V4 111
Resolutions were then adopted.
They refer to strained relations between
employer and employee, and
their bad effect on business conditions;
demand ample protection for
all seeking to earn a livelihood and
continue in part: 'In carrying on a
firm and uncompromising contest with
the abuses of unions as now constituted
and conducted,at the same time recognizing
the free right of workingmen
to combine, and admitting that their
combination when rightly constituted
and conducted, may prove highly useful,
we earnestly desire to act, and believe
we are acting in the .true interests
of the workingmen themselves."

MILLARD LEE HUNG
Pays Penalty for the Murder
of Miss Suttles.
EXECUTION IN ATLANTA
Crime Was Committed Eighteen
Months Ago and Murderer Respited
a Number of Times
by the Governor.
Millard Lee, who murdered Lilla May
Suttles on Sunday, May 25, 1902, ill
Wesley chapel, near Ben Hill,. Ga.,
was hanged Friday morning in the Atlanta
jail. Thirteen minutes later he
was pronounced dead.
With a smile of content on his face
and without a tremor in his frame,
Lee walked to the gallows, stood on
the death trap and prepared for the
death he knew must come.
"Have you anything to say, Millard?"
asked Sheriff J. W. Nelms a
minufre before the trap fell.
"Only that young men snould read
their Bibles and pray. Take warning
from me. Oh, God. have mercy on
my soul!" were the last words cf the
young murderer.
Lee was the most composed man in
the gallows room. Save for the constant
movement of his fingers and the
occasional twitching of his lips he
displayed no emotion as he marched
to the gallows or as he stood while
his arms and legs vera being tiea.
The execution was very orderly and
there was not the slightest hitch from
beginning to end. Everything had
been so carefully arranged that there
was not a second's delay.
Lee died a professed Christian, and
said ha was going straight to heaven,
there to meet the girl for whose murj
der he paid the penalty on the gallows.
Dr. J. M. Suttles. father of the dead
girl, was one of the men present in
the gallows- room when Lee plunged
j through the trap to death. During the
j entire occasion he spoke to no one.
j His face was immobile as the slayer
j of his daughter went to death. He
left the Tower within a few moments
after the hanging had been completed.
A great crowd gathered around the
Tower early, despite the fact that they
knew they could not be admitted to
the jail. The rain which fell just oer

Story of the Crime.
On Sunday morning. May 25th of
last year, just as the last notes of the
doxology were dying away, and as the
hundred worshipers in the little Wesley
Chapel, at- Ben Hill, a settlement
seven miles from Atlanta, bowed
their heads in prayer, Millard Lee, son
of a well known planter living in the
j neighborhood, shot and instantly kill!
ed beautiful Lilla May Suttles, a play!
mate from childhood and the object
of his devotion in manhood. Unre
quited love was the cause of the tragedy.
Lee ascaped from the church, but
was captured next morning, just at
daybreak, at Mabelton, 15 miles Trhm
I the place where he shot his sweetheart.
He had gone there with the
evident intention of boarding a train
for Alabama, which was duo to pass
within a few moments after he show
ed himself to the officers.
Almost from infancy Lee had loved
Lilla May Suttles, the daughter of Dr
J. M. Suttles, a neighbor to the Lees.
The two had been playmates in childhood
and had been thrown together
much in the frolics of the countryside.
Lee's queer actions, his evident
desire to shun every living man and
his brusqueness turned the girl awaj
from him and she began to avoid him
in every way. This made Lee ever
more sullen and morose.
| Six times since he committed the
| murder he had been respited bv Governor
Terrell, awaiting new trials and
action on the part of the supreme
court. Every court, however, .declared
him to be sane and to have committed
a murder.
The final decision was handed down
by the state supreme court Thursday,
only one day before the execution.*'

CHINA'S APPEAL FUTILE. *'1
. . ^r|sg
Asks Uncle Sam to Interfere in Her
Troubles With Russia?Time,
However, Not Yet Come.
A Washington special says: Sir
Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese
minister, called on Secretary Hay
Monday
and asked that the United
' 3tates check Russia in Manchuria,
and in her evident purpose to dismember
the Chinese empire.
Secretary Hay replied that the United
States, while sympathizing with
China, could do nothing at present.
Immediately after his visit to the > .
state department, Sir Liang cabled to
Pekin the answer of Secretary Hay to
China's. anDeal for assistance in check- %
ing Russia in Manchuria.
The Pekin authorities are aware by
this time that until the ratification of
the American-Chinese treaty, which
was signed on October 8, pledging .. i
to the world the opening of Mukden '%
and Antung, it will be impossible lor
this government, in view of its tradi- V
tional policy of steering clear of for- t-%
eign alliances, to protest against Russia's
continued occupation of Man- Jg?
churia. It has been pointed out to
China that, although the sympathy of
the United States is hers, the time for
American interference has not come. j
It ic expected that the commercial
treaty, which should arrive at Wash- 'ijjjji
ington this week, will be ratified at '
the extra session of congress, whetf ^Kj
the United States will be in a position ^^J||
to insist op a strict regard for her
treaty rights throughout China. The n
Pekin government has been told that
infringement by Russia of American . $
| treaty rights in Manchuria will fur- jl
nish the Washington government the ^jg
opportunity for, at least, a reiteration
of its desire for the preservation of ;
the integrity of China.
Japan, it has been learned, has -i:WL
instituted a vigorous, investigation re*
garding the extent and character of
Russia's occupation of Mukden. Mr.,
Takahiria, the Japanese minister,
when asked as to whether Rusia
and Japan contemplated an under- -rM
standing, by which tne one would obtain
a free hand in Manchuria, and V||
i the other important concessions in Korea,
replied by calling attention to a ^
recent official announcement from Tokio,
that the negotiations at the Jap- . ^
anese capital between Russia and Jap- .. ^
anese officials were, as far as Japan
is concerned, strictly in accord with .
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Mr. Ta- j| 'M
kahiria has not been advised of any
1 appeal from Russia to Japan, and said
that his conference with Sec1
retary Hay concerned another matter.- fila
