35J. of the St. John line. Jumped the
track In whirling around a curve, hurling
both the motorcar and trailer a distance
of 100 feet.
There were 6 passengers on the cars.
A few jumped as the cars leaped from
the tracks in their wlld'fllght; others
were hurled through windows, and still
others were pinioned on .the sidewalk and
In the street beneath the mass of debris.
Both motorman and conductor stayed
with the csrs. They were uninjured.
Brakes Applied In Vain.
Accidental breaking of the air pipes Is
said to have been the cause oT the dis
aster. The break occurred several blocks
from the scene and was discovered by
the motorman, R. Gove, two blocks away,
as the cars approached the down grade
leading to the sharp tune at Williams
avenue and Cherry street.
Gove spplied tlie breaks to decrease
the speed of the cars as they approached
the curve. They refused to work, and
the cars shot out upon the straight
stretch of downhill track. The momen
tum of the cars, already running at a
rapid pace, accelerated the speed so that
they had attained a fearful rate as the
motorcar swung Into the curve. The
motorman still tried vainly to apply the
brakes.
Cars Skid for 100 Feet.
At Williams avenue and Cherry street
the tracks swerve abruptly, the curvature
being probably as great as 25 degrees.
The motorcar swung Into the curve and
had successfully passed a short distance
when the trailer, rocking and swaying
as It entered tho curve, suddenly raided
from the tracks and went careening
towards the sidewalk. Its weight car
ried with it the forward car which also
left the tracks and together the two cars
rolled and skidded for a distance of 100
feet, further progress being' checked oy
the sidewalk. A telegraph pole and maple
tree were snapped by the Impact. Fcr
tunateiy there is a wide space of street
at the Intersection through which the
cars swept.
As the cars left the tracks some of
the passengers began to Jump, rred
Lacey. a butcher at Williams avenue and
Russell streets, jumped and was hurled
violently for a distance of many feet, but

and how so many of "the passengers
escaped with their lives is remarkable.
Many Women In Wreck.
Most of the passengers were women.
few children being aboard. With the
roar of the skidding cars as they rolled
towards the sidewalk were mingled the
screams of women and shouts of men.
Smashing of glass and the rumble of
crashing timbers sdded to the confusion.
Three persons were pinioned beneath

bition and Senate May light.

Governor Patterson filed his veto of the
state-wide prohibition bill with the clerk
of the Senate after that body adjourned
for the day. .
The veto will be read to the Senate

. pends. Is wavering.
The Governor, in explaining his failure
to approve the bill, tells the Legislature
such a law Is against the Democratic
platform and the doctrine of self-government;
that It destroys property, re
duces state revenues and increases tax
ation.

Resign Royal Title'' and Captaincy
In Xavjr In Order to Remove
Obstacles.
PARIS. Jan. 19. (Special.) The
Petit Parisian will publish tomorrow a
remarkable story about , the Duke of
Abruzzl, which .was sent from Turin
by a special correspondent. He states
that the Duke has given up his naval
honors and abandonea all his privileges
as cousin of the King In order to marry
Miss Katherlne Elkins.
"It has been remarked in Italy," says
the correspondent, "that alone, of all
the Princes of royal blood, the Duke of
Abruzzl did not go to Sicily and Cala
bria. While the King and all other
members of the royal family visited
Messina, the Duke remained in Turin
in the solitude he nas preserved for
months. This lack of action is more
strange because the Duke is Captain
of the vessel which was one of the
first to carry aid to the earthquake
sufferers.
"The explanation for this was given
today. It will be remembered that
the King never opposed the marriage
of the Dune to Miss Elkins, but wis
Majesty believed It his duty to call a
council of the family, and the Queen
Dowager and Duke de Genoa opposed
the match, and many nobles expressed
their displeasure over the proposal. So
it happened that the King said neither
yes nor no.
The Duke was asked to wait before
announcing the engagement officially
until he had served his time as Cap
tain in the navy, and could be made a
Vice-Admiral. Then the question could
be considered. That time came two
months ago, but the Duke has received
neither the appointment nor the au
thorization to marry Miss Elkins.
However, I am assured that the
Duke has decided to resign his post
as Captain In the navy, and even to
renounce his royal titles, becoming
simply a citizen and overcoming with
one blow all the obstacles which would
prevent the marriage. The Duke's In
tention of resigning is also Known in
the navy."
The King has refused to accept the
Duke's resignation. A number of offi
cers conversant with the situation, who
asked the Queen aboard the battleship
Regina Elena at Messina to intercede
with the King for his consent to the mar
riage, adds the dispatch, were placed un
der close arrest by Admiral Mlrabe-llo,
the Minister of Marine. Many high naval
officers have decided to resign with the
Duke of the Abruzzl in token of their
sympathy.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. President
Roosevelt's letter to Governor Gillett,
dated January 16, on the subject of anti-
Japanese legislation, now pending in the
California Legislature, is as follows:
"My Dear Governor I am greatly con
cerned over the anti-Ja. anese Dills wmcn
are amiarently going on their way
through the California Legislature. They
are in every sense most unfortunate.
At last we have in first-class working
order the arrangement which with such
difficulty we succeeded in getting through
two vears ago. The Japanese govern
ment is obviously acting in good faith.
During the six months ending October
31 last, the total . number of Japanese '
who have come to the mainland of the
United States has been 2074 and the total
number who have left has been 3181. In
other words, the whole object nominally
desired by those who wish to prevent
the incoming of Japanese laborers has
been achieved. More Japanese are leav- '
ing the country than are coming in,
and bv the present indications In a very
few years the number of Japanese here
will be no greater than tne number of
Americans in Japan; that is, the move
ment will be as normal in one case as In
the other, which is Just as we desire.
No Excuse for Agitation.
There is. therefore, no shadow of ex
cuse for action which will simply produce
great Irritation and may result in upset-
'XJM,a'MD& OF TODAY'S NEWS
These aeitators have themselves to
thank if trouble comes from what they
do, if there Is any rush or Influx of
Japanese hither. They hamper the Na
tional Government in what it has now so
efficiently accomplished the agreement
by peaceful means and through the
friendly initiative of the Japanese gov
ernment to keep Japanese immigrants out
of the United States save as Americans
themselves visit Japan. Is it impossible
to get the Legislature to realize the great
unwisdom, from the standpoint of the
country at large, and above all, from the
standpoint of California, of what is be
ing done?

The only change of politics Is a
Democratic gain of one in Oregon.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 19 (Special.)
A dismal gloom settled over the Hop
kins camp- tonight at the end of a joint
caucus of the Republican Assemblymen,
at which only 7S votes were mustered
and pledged to vote for the Aurora stateti
man when the Joint balloting begins to
morrow morning. The line-up. 'which
was accomplished after a day of frantio
action on the part of the Federal leaders.
Is some 23 votes short of enough to elect
In case there is a full attendance at the
Joint session. It Is a revelation of
trouble ahead, ti:at lias led the Hopkins
men tonight to sound t.ie alarm to
every friend who has real or fancied in
fluence with the lawmakers to rush to
Springfield to keep the Junior Senator
from being pushed over the presipice.
Caucu9 Shows Shrinkage.
At the caucus, which was called in the
hope that it would corral enough votes
to make victory easy in the morning,
only 75 Senators and Representatives were
actually present in the flesh. Two others,
W. M. Scanlan and Senator Martin B.
Bailey, were present In spirit and were
voted by absent treatment, while a
third Assemblyman, Thomas Campbell,
was put on the list as being "absent, but
all right."
The total number of Republicans who
attended the caucus bound themselves
to vote for Mr. Hopkins, Inclusive of the
three absent, but au right ones. Is r.'ne
less than the total vote Mr. Hopkins re
ceived this morning when the houses took
separate ballots on the Scnatorship. By
the Senator's enemies it is regarded as
a confession of weakness.
Hopkins on Hugged Kdge.
By the big Federal leaders who have been
here since the Assembly opened, building
up the Hopkins f-cs, lt is construed as
full evidence that Congressman William
Lorimer has something of a hammerlock
hold upon the situation. They are down
cast and, in confidence, express the be
lief that the Senator is almost hanging
on the ragged edge of nothing.
The main cause for worry among the
leaders was the possibility that the Dem
ocratic votes would be thrown in a body
for Speaker Edward D. Shurtleff. If a
deadlock results lt was felt that other
things might happen, one of them being
the propulsion of Governor Deneen into
the Senate in spite of himselt.
Vote on First Ballot.
The first ballot in separate houses to
day resulted:
Senate Hopkins, 2fi; J ss, 10; Stringer,
13; Mason, 2; necessary to choice, 26.
House Hopkins, 61; Foes, 15; Stringer,
63; Mason, 4: Shurtleff, 3; absent, 5;
