NEW LIQUOR LAW

V AND PLAINLY MARKED
Th? New I<aw l*a?.sed by Oongr^fw
Regulating Interstate Shipment!
of IJquor, Which i? Very Strin
gent, Went Into Kffect on Iami
Saturday, January 1, 1910.
Last Saturday, January 1, i?lv
a new law regulating the "inte**
fate shipment of intoxicating
liquors," went into effect. It wil
etop cortain evasions of the pena
laws now practiced in dry terri
tory. Secretary Philander C. Knox
when Senator, drew a bill, which, hi
said, went just as far as the con
stitution would permit, and fron
that bill came the amendment givei
here.
It is believed in Washington tha
this is the last imoprtant liquor log
Islation that will pass congress ii
years to come. The prohibitionist
are clamoring for greater restric
tions, but unless Speaker Cannon am
his faction of the Republican part
are overthrown they will not at
eomplish much.
The new law will abolish the Jo
Doo business. Everybody must or
der his own liquor. It has bee
charged that some express agent
had joined hands with dealers t
evade the law by letting a man hav
a bottle, a jug or a keg in som
name other than his own. By do
Sng this almost any one coma g?whiskey
by applying to the ex pros
agent. The new law reads as fol
lows:
"Section 238. Any oflleer, agonl
or employe of any railroad companj
express company, or other com mo
carrier, who shall knowingly doliv
or or cause to be delivered to au

f HER MODEL WON
WOMKN MKMOKIAL DESIGNED
1IY A YOUNG WOMAN.
Well - Known Designer Kntered
Sculpture Work When a Mere Girl
and lias llapldly Gone to Front.
The statue to honor the women
of the Confederacy that will be erect1
ed on the capital grounds of each
of the original Confederate States
t from the design by Miss Belle Kinney,
of Nashville, Tenn., will be one
of the most appropriate and boau,
tiful designed memorials over seen
in the South. The memorial will
S be lu keeping with the spirit o" tho
1 wouion of the Confederacy who uuj
derwent so many hardships during
the struggles of the sixties.
The statues will ho of bronze that
is to be molded by the most ex0
pert hands. It shows a group of
- three beautiful grouped figures, com1
posed of Fame, seated in the center;
J a dying Confederate soldier on her
left, and on her right the Confod
crate woman. The dying soldier
- and the woman are not separated,
a hut are shown together on the bats
tlofield undergoing the same ha' J:
ships for the same cause.
d It Is tho intention of Miss
y Kinney to have the base of tho
statue 8 feet wide and f> 1-2 feet in
depth. This will make it large
e enough to make an excellent showing
on the different capital grounds,
u Fame, the tallest figure in the group
s of three, will be 8 feet in height,
o with the other 2 figures 7 feet high,
o Miss Kinney lias marveouslv
o shown the spirit which actuated tho
>- women of tho South in the sixth's
t in her beautiful group of three tigs
ures," said one of tho best known
i- art critics in tho South when he
first saw tho model that was act,
cepted. "The woman's whole atr,
titudo shows only concern for the
n soldier. She is unconscious of the
- great picture of Fame, which has
y claimed him and is crowning her
o as the noblest of all "'omen In tin*
s world."
i- Miss Hello Kinney is a Southern
r er by birth and as her father was
y a Confederate soldier sho know best
y how to picture the statue that would
most suit the women of the slxf
ties.
d It was during her childhood days
t in Nashville that Miss Kinney first
i- took to sculpture work. Sho often
e mads mudpie designs of different
y figures which wore such good likenesses
that sho was advised to take
d up sculpture work as hor profession,
o Her first real work in designing was
>- over seven years ago, when she
e entered an amateur exhibition In
d Nashville. In this competition she
designed a clay bust of the head of
f, her father, and so well did she do
n her work that she was awarded 11 rat
3, prize.
i- 'Shortly after winning her first
t prize, Lorado Taft, of Chicago, a
g cousin of President Taft, visited

tercd the Chicago Art institute, and
)f there won high honors. After tlnlsh:i
ing study sho taught in tho school
le for two years, being regarded as one
ct of the most proficient designers ever
e- graduated from this well known
y school.
ly The first real work by Miss Kinsr
ney was in designing and building
>r tho Baxter monument at Nashville,
le When she secured the contract for
a- this elegant memorial she was too
ly young to sign the contract for tho
id work, and it was necessary that her
>d father sign it, so as to make tho
1- Job binding. After the building of
this monument tho fame of Miss
v- Kinney as a designer spread far and
>d wide, and she was given the contract
ct for 20 igoroto figures in tho Chicago
i- museum. These figures were tlnlshle
od last year.
h- A short time ago Miss Kenney
)f was awarded first prlzo in tho com1
petition for the Carmack statue at
s- Columbia, Tenn. She is now workin
ing on a number of other designs
>r that will doubtless be accepted.
>r It was during a visit to Nashville
Li to compete for the Carmack statue
< that Miss Kenney decided to enter
ly the competition for the memorial to
t- the women of the Confederacy.
)f She finished her first sketch in three
io i davs and her second whs enmnletnd
In about three weeks. It was at
i* first announced that there was no
s. competition for the memorial, as
n, one had already been selected, but
re when this was refused at a joint
>r meeting of the Veterans and Sons
id of Veterans, Miss Kenney entered
n- competition in earnest and won out.
*e In the nelchborhood of 80 designs
id were submitted. '
to Miss Helle Kinney is an unusualto
ly attractive woman and has a bright
future, according to the opinion of
experts. Very young and beautiful
Miss Kinney makes friends of all
a and makes a distinct hit wherever
she goes, as do her models.

Coaches and Sleepera With It,
Fire Then llrcakini? Out..
Three persona were killed and 4 5
Injured Friday by the derailing and
partial burning of a westbound Rock
Island passenger train south of Trenton,
Mo., which probably was caused
by spreading of the rails. While
the train was running at a high
speed the locomotive and tender
plunged over a tlve-foOt embankment,
dragging two baggage cars, a mail
car and a standard sleeping car with
them.
While passengers in the wrecked
cars were struggling to escape from
the debris fire started from the ilrebox.
The splintered cars burned rapidly
and the three slain passengers
were partly burned. Scores of persons
were rescued as the flames were
scorching their clothing or burning
their flesh.
David Siegel, of Cleveland, O.,
was held by the wreckage for an
hour while the fire burned within
a few feet of him, but was eventually
rescued, although lie may lose an
arm. Heroic rescues were numerous.
Moil and women who escaped unharmed,
rushed into the burning
wreckage to rescue the less fortunate
passengers.
The train was derailed at 8.4 0 a.
m., while passing through a stretch
of lee-covered country at high speed. I
The huge engine, a standard Pullman
sleeper and the tourist sleeper
caught fire and were destroyed, and
a portion of the chair car was burned.
The <y*ad includfe two women
whoso bodies were taken from the
chair car. Most of the injured also
were in this car.
All the passengers in the burned
Pullman escaped, and aside from
bruises and slight cuts, none of
these were hurt.
The number of those who lost
their lives in the tourist car is 'n
doubt. None is known positively to
nave escaped from this car, and It
Is believed all of its passengers were
cremated.
Those passengers and members of
the crew who escaped injury immediately
went to work to aid the injured.
Many were dragged from the
chair car, while those in the burning
Pullman generally escaped unassisted.
The tlamcs that attacked the
tourist sleeper burned fiercely, forcing
hack the rescurers, and they
stood by In the ice and snow, powerless
to render aid.
The cause of the wreck is not
knowi. The engine suddenly jumped
the track and plowing through
the roadbed landed upside down 50
feet from the tracks. Following
closely came the mail and baggage
cars. These two cars doubled altead
past the engine. Hoth were badly
smashed.
('limb Through Windows.
The first shock of the wreck over,
passengers began clambering through
windows, while farmers living nearby
ran to the scene. Men entered
the burning chair ear and dragged
half-stunned and bleeding passengers
to safety.
From beneath the wreck of the
engine other rescuers dragged the
body of Fireman Linlnger, burned
and mangled almost beyond recognition.
When the wrecking train arrived
from Trenton, the cars on each side
I of the three burning coaches were
I drawn out of the reach of the flames.
The tourist and tho first Pullman
were soon reduced to a pile of twisted
Iron and ashos.
In tho belief that tho destroyed
tourist car held the bodies of perhaps
a dozen or more persons, the
passengers that lined tho tracks
stood by In awed silence.
Dragged to His Death.
At Augusta, fJa., Edward A.
Springs, a driver of the Augusta Are
department, was thrown from his
seat on the engine Sunday afternoon
and both wheels passed over his
body, causing instant death mho
horsofl balked and then lounged forward,
one of thorn breaking the collar.
Springs had his hands in the
grips on the linos and was dragged
from his seat and under the wheels.
Man Hums to Death.
Jonathan Nichols, an aged white
man, employed as fireman at a sawmills
at Laurel Hill, Fla., was
butned to death there a few days
ago.
Now that the Federal Supremo
Court has decided against Thaw it
Is to be hoped that the Thaw case
and the Thaw family may go into
obscurity. There are a few American
families possessed of more money
than morals whom the American
public can well spare.
KILLED IN WRECK
SEVERAL PERSONS LOSE THEIR
LIVES IN COLLISION.
One of the Country'** Mont Prominent
Rankers and Multi-Millionaires
Numbered Among the Dead.
Spencer Trask, banker and multimillionaire,
was killed Friday, two
other persons uIbo lost their lives
and four were injured, when a
freight train crashed into the second
section of the Montreal Express
of tho New York Central railroad at
Croton, N. Y.
All of tho victims wore In tho
last car at tho time. Tho engine
of tho freight train telescoped this
car.
The car, which was a sleeper, was
crushed, as though it were an egg
shell. Tho threo persons thought
to have been killed wore Imprisoned
in the w reckage. No sound could
be heard from them after tho collision
and It was considered a certainty
that they were killed. Their
names could not bo obtained. The
porter of the sleeping car and three
i other persons, all injured, crawled
out of the wreckage.
It was with great difllculty that
the body of Mr. Trask was taken
from the debris. It was then conveyed
to tho morgue, at Croton,
while a crew of men began working
to secure the other bodies.
The accident is said to have been
due to tho carelessness of a brakeman
on the Montreal Kxpress. The
train, bound for New York, was running
in tho middle of threo trucks,
and when It reached I'pporcrosslng
at Croton, it halted near a signal
light, which displayed a "stop" signal.
The conductor of the train Rout
the brukenian back to signal any
other trains which might come
along. It was not then known by
the conductor that the freight wan
thundering along on tho bhiuo track.
The hrakenian is said to have gone
only thirty feet behind tho Montreal
Express with his rod signal. In
the rear sleepor thero were eight
persons, seven passengers and the
porter.
Mr. Trask was asleep in a berth
near the rear door. For several
months he had been ill, and only
recently underwent an operation by
which ho lost the sight of ono of
his eyes. On this account he had
told the porter not to disturb him
until the train reached Now York.
The freight train bore down upon
the express at full speed. The brakeman
saw it when it was some distance
off and began waving IjIh flag,
but Engineer Flannigan of tho
freight did not see the signal until
ho was too near tho express train
to slow tip. Ho then applied tho
emergency brakes. Tho freight, consisting
of nearly forty cars, did not
seem to slacken Its sjtoed. It slid
along on tho rails and crashed into
the rear car of tho express with
frightful forco.
After the first shock of tho collision,
tho engine of 'tho freight
train plowed through tho sleeper.
Those In the car hud no opportunity
tO fll'M
The brakoman who had been sent
back to give a signal disappeared
immediately after tlie crash and officials
of the railroad company are
now searching for him.
Mr. Trask boarded the Montreal
Express at Saratoga, where he had
been living in "Yeddo," his inagnlfleant
country homo. The train had
boon delayed by recent snow storms,
and by the time it reachod Croton,
at 8 o'clock, it was more than an
hour behind its schedule.
It was duo in Now York at 7:20
a. m. The rear sleeper was the only
ono damaged in the crash. Passengers
in all of the other cars were
badly shaken up, but none of them
was seriously Injured.
Burned to Death.
Eegare, the three-year-old son of
Postmaster Wilmot L. Harris, of
Charleston, died Sunday from the results
of burns received at the Christmas
tree celebration at his home.
The little fellow was playing with a
sparkler which was said to bo safe
when his clothing ignited and before
uiu names couia do smothered, Legare
was burned so badly that medical
skill could not avail and death
camo to his relief at an early hour.
