/ injured In a werck ou the Chicago,
l-ako Shoro A South Bend railroad
in Fortor county, lnd., Saturday
wight, two of tht) big electric earn
colliding head-on. According to General
Manager 11. U. Walluce,- the
wreck was due to a disobedience
of orders by Motorinun G. A. Heed
I the eastbound car, who was killed.
Hood received instructions ut Gary
to wait at WUhou, a short distance
west of Balleytown, the point at \
which the disaster occurred, for the
westbound car to pass. The impact
of the cure was so great that they
were reduced to a mass of wreckage.
The oastbound car was going GO
tallica uu hour to make up lost time.
When the crash occurred the eastbouud
car was telescoped and almost
demolished. In this train were all
of the killed and moat of the injured,
pnaaengers on the weatbouud escaping
with bruises.
The two cars were wedged together
In a cass of debris. The cries
lor help caused a scene of coufusion
tor many minutes. Soon, however,
th? coolheaded passengers brought
order out of chaos and, while sorno
converted the home of K. H. Borg
iuto a hospital and morgue, others
readied the Injured.
Darkness ly interfered with
the progress of the rescuers and to
nr&ko matters worse the nearest telephone
waa nearly a mile away.
All but one of the killed were tu
the smoking compartment of the car
in the front end. The space wan
crowded. Titus E. Kinsle, a real
estate dealer, and CordJua Kline,
both of South Head, left the smoking
room less than a minute before the
crash and escaped death, although
dm latter suffering severe injuries.
Davis Crawford, a chauffeur of
South Hend, related a graphic story
of the accident.
"There were about T>0 in our car,"
said Crawford. "Most of us bud
been at the automobile race at Crown
Point. Many of the tired passengers
weAre, asleep. Suddenly there waa a I
terrific crash. Motorman George
Ueod was pinned between the vestibules
x)f the two cars ho solidly that
I it wan impossible for us to removo
tho body."
G. A. Schimme], motorman of tho
westbound car, said his car was at
a full stop, when tho eastbound car
*trnck it. He said:
"When I saw tho headlight of the
eastbound train in the distance I
realized that the motormnu had overlooked
orders. I put on tho brakes,
brought my cur to a stop and tried i
to back it, but the air breaks did
not release the wheels nnd I could
not move before the crash came."
It was impossible to run electric !
cars to the scene, because the trol- j
ley wire had been broken. wHon |
physicians reached tho secone they
fonnd Hcort^a of farmers and villagers
lushing about endeavoring to care
for tho wounded and to extricate j
tho dead and dying by the light of !
a few lanterns. It was necesasry j
to use axes to release some of the
wonnded.
On<? of tho heroes of the wreck
was C. A. Simmons of Benton Harbor,
Mio.h. He lost conscionsaettj j
immediately after tho collision.
When he recovered his senses he was
lying in the sand near a ditch. Both
of his k*gs were broken, but when
Dr. Axe of Michigan City reached
him and tendered surgical aid, he
ref.ased it, instructing the physician
hw give his time to others more bcrionsly
injured than himself.
"My legs are broken," he said,
"hat my head is all right, and I
Cuobh I can stand it for a while."

The auto purty was sighted by
those In charge of the car, Conductor
C. P. Hurries and Motorman K.

given, there being plenty of time
for the machine to clear the crossing
well In front of the car. When

to a dtvud standstill and In a few seconds
tho car struck it.
Tho machine was thrown some 20

A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala.,
says the wile and distribution of the
whiskey sandwich is the lnt?*it method
of evading the liquor laws in tho
State of Alubuma: I/oaves of bread,
cut and arranged to represent oyst?r
sandwiches, are sold over the

P. Alston, and the narrow escapo
of a lady from drowning in the accident
which befell a launch party
Friday night proceeding from
Young's Island to Uockville. It appears
that the engine of the boat

the boat filled with water. Alston
safely carried one of the ladles
ashore, but with much effort, and
It Is thought that he returned to
the assistance of another, when hie

Onco more, eaya the Washiugtou
correspondent of tho Spartanburg
Herald, the Republican party has
found it necessary to adopt a plank
from the I>vuiocrutlc platform, in
order that it may suvo its face. ThU
ha.*) become so frequent and common
of late, however, that it has
ceased to cause surprise. Tho latOBt
instance' of tho Republican theft
of Democratic campaign thunder Is
in tho compromise on the income
tax proposition, by which it is proposal
to submit the matter to the
people in the effort to secure an
amendment to the constitution permitting
the levying of such a tax.
In recommending to congress the
submission of a constitutional
amendment expressly authorizing the
collection of au income tax Mr. Taft
has turned his back on his own
record and planted hlniHelf squarely
on the Democratic platform of 1 908.
At the Deuvor convention, July 10.
last, the Democratic party made this
declaration:
"Wh favor an Income tax as part
of our revenue system, and we u)ge
the submission of ? ?\nutiti.(iAi.?i
amendment specifically authorizing
congress to levy oud collect a tax
upon Individual and corporate Incomes,
to the end that wealth may
bear its proportionate share of the
burdena of the f?*deral government."
The Republican convention at
Chicago in ita platform was silent
on this subject, but In his speech
of acceptance at Cincinnati, July 2 8,
Mr. Tnft volunteered this statement:
"The Democratic platform demands
two constitutional amendments?.one
providing for an income
tax and the other for the election of
senators by the people. In my judgment
an amendment to the constitution
for an Income tax 1h not necessary.
I believe that an Income
tax, when the protective system of
customs and the Internal revenue
tax shall not furnish income enough
for governmental neods, can and
should be devised, which, under the
decisions of the supremo court, will
conform to the constitution."
Senator Bailey has been making
some efforts In the direction of securing
such a tax, and tht^se efforts
have met with such approval among
members of the senate that It la an
open secret in Washington thut the
compromise which was decided on
after numerous conferences among
Republicans, one with the president,
was vigorously sought by Aldrich

Thb? compromise will put tho matter
"up to" tho people. It will ho
necessary that two-thlrda of tho
membership of both bo use a shall
favor tho submission of tho constitutional
amendment to tho people
of tho forty-aix States, and that tho
legislatures of threo-fourta of those

favor o' the adoption of the amendment.

t>o secured.
It is not generally known outside
of senatorial circle Just how
much trouble this Income tax proposition
has caused the members of
the "Aldrioh gong." They havo had
numerous conferences and consultations,
and have even taken polls of
tho senate, and sounded men on the
proposition, to ascertain their attitude.
The results of those soundings
revealed a uapport of Senator
Bailey's Income tax proposition (to
which Senator Cummins succeeded
In having his name attached) that
was anything else than pleasing to
the leaden*. And bo the activity
was began which has resulted in the
compromise proposition.
Naturally the "straight-out" Income
tax advocates are much perturbed
over the present state of affairs*,
and they pnopo&e to carry
me tight rurther. They claim that
Senator Aldrlch had a very narrow
margin of majority who will support
the compromise, and they hope yet
to secure enough votes for a
straight-out Income tAX amendment
to the tariff bill to carry their point.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution, which was Introduced
by Senator Nelson, provides for the
submission to the several States of
the question of amending the constitution
of tho United States so as to
giro congrees the right to levy a
tax on income. The proposed amendment
is Ai follows*
"That congress shall hare the
power to lay and collect direct taxes
on in cornea, from whatever source
derived, without apportiontng the
same among the several State#."
