The passenger was a special, made up at Logan and consisted . of a boxcar, combination coach and . caboose. The freight was a special stock train, run ning as second No. 12 on passenger schedule, and had the right of way. When the crash came the cabooses were crushed like paper, ' and the two firemen mashed between the tender and the boiler of each engine. The flames Im mediately broke out and' the bodies were burned to a crisp. The boxcar tele scoped on the front end of the coach where the passengers were, the wreckage tailing Into the car. A number of pas sengers had to be dug out. VICTOR IN THRILLING RACE -i (Continued from 'First Page.) the floor In torture, frightfully burned from head to foot.' With the crude ap pliances and means at hand the neighbors tried to make Mrs. Machette and her child as comfortable as possible until medical aid arrived. The father, was called by telephone, and, stunned by the terrible news, he fled from his office in town, and resorted to the only expedient in the world that offered the least chance of saving his loved ones from death. Impresses Big Automobile. . As he reached the street he saw a huge automobile standing In front of the build ing. Without asking whose It was, or where It might be going, he impressed It into service. "It's a matter of life and death," he shouted to the chauffeur, and then in the Same breath ordered him to hasten with all .jtasslhle speed 1-for ..hlsfhoma. At Grand nd Hawthorne avenues he stopped and picked up Dr. Clayton S. Seamann, and then began the wild ride for his dis tant hills to the east. The very birds of the air never flew with the speed at which that monster of steel and iron hurled Itself through space. Driven by a huge 60-horsepower . motor, it thundered along the streets, some times seeming to rise from the earth in its onward rush. It crashed into ruts and hurdled over hummocks. It bumped. It lurched, It groaned. It snorted, trem bled, careened and swayed till It seemed as if its very momentum would tear it to pieces, yet not for an instant did it slacken its frightful pace. Father Cries for More Speed. "Can you give her any more speed?" shouted Machette in the agony of de spair. "I'm sorry, sir, but she's in the last notch and I'm afraid she'll Jerk to pieces if we keep this gait up much longer," answered the driver. On they rushed. Fences, trees, houses, landscape and all hurled them selves in panoramic bewilderment rear ward as they cleaved the wind. They seemed to be crawling jike snails to the anxious man In the rear seat, but in 20 minutes the 14 miles', ride was ended. ... ' They drew up at the Machette home and both mother and daughter were found to be suffering fearful agony. Muchette Almost Overcome. At the sight oX his loved ones so severely . stricken, Machette nearly collopsed and Dr. Seamann had to sup port him while he regained his com posure. The burns of the two victims of the unfortunate accident were dressed by the physician, who ordered them to be conveyed to the hospital as quickly as possible. Machette im mediately ordered the chauffeur to prepare his machine to receive the two patients. Chairs from the home were placed in front of the rear seats and matresses and bedding placed thereon, forming a couch large enough to ac commodate both, and they were ten derly carried from the house and placed In the- big machine. , The physi cian mounted the step on one side and the father took the opposite side and the ride for the hospital was begun with the same frightful speed of the outward Journey. The father, with tear-dlmmed eyes, anxiously scarrned the seared and pain distorted faces of his wife and child as the big motor car speeded on its way to the. haven where he hoped their lives might be saved. . The physi cian also watched the "victims and slowly he commenced to realize that hope was rapidly vanishing. The sure signs of the moaning child's coming dissolution were only too apparent to his trained eye. When within four miles of the city little Catherine gave a gasp, moaned feebly, there was a slight shudder, and then she ceased to breathe. The physician noted this ac tion immediately and glanced hastily at the father, who was closely watch ing the features swathed in bandages for some sign of life. Seamann Saves Him. - "My God, doctor, she is dead!" ex claimed Machette, and but for the time ly and powerful clutch of the physi cian the grief-stricken man would have lurched backwards from the machine and pitched headlong Into the road. Mrs. Josie Machette, the stricken wife and mother, was taken to a private room at St. Vincent's Hospital and given every attention of" which medical science le capable, but the physician and attend ants were able to hold out little hope of recovery t the anxious husband. Later in the day the small chance held out' at the time she was received was des paired of. and she was not expected to live through the night. The physician says that there is hardly a spot on the woman's body that is not burned or scorched. The grief-stricken father refused to be interviewed last night, saying that Dr. 9eaniann would, explain everything. Only a Miracle Can Save Mother. '.'It -is the most pathetic case I have ever attended," said Dr. Seamann, "The poor woman undoubtedly tried to extin guish the flaming clothing of tlje child by merely using her hands, and while so engaged her own clothing caught fire. Both victims were terribly burned, and nothing but a miracle can eave Mrs. Ma chette. Frank Machette was one of the best husbands I know of, and the blow will prove hard to him. Were he not a strong-minded mnn, I should have fears for his sanity after sustaining such a blow." Mr. Machette Is manager of the Invest ors' Brokerage Company. COMING NORTH FOR FAVORS Steamship Agent Makes No Arrange ment With Southern Roads. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 16.-S. Take nonchl, manager of the Osaka Merchant Steamship Company, who has been in Los Angeles several days endeavoring, he says, to arrange for a Pacific Coast terminus for his company, with the ulti mate purpose of putting on a line of freight steamships between this country and Japan, stated In an Interview today that he had been unable to gain entrance for his company at San' Pedro, and would go to San Diego to make a similar effort there.

These charges have reached the President and are regarded as so serious that Judge Ailshie will not be appointed before March 4, if recommend ed by Senator Heyburn.

So far as the pending legislation Is con cerned. It is stated that there Is every reason to believe that it will be accept able to the Japanese government; at any rate, there has not yet been the slight est sign of disapproval in that quarter.

And so man, to be success ful, must have sunshine inside. The life which has it not, which has no health and no happiness. Is sour, surly, pessi mistic, and a failure. The world already has too many vinegar faces that breathe Ill-will and strife. The world wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has it, who radiates glariess and triumph wherever he is and under all circumstances. Some people have a genius for seeking out the disagreeable, the crooked, the bad and the ugly. These are the de stroyers; they travel in schools, they herd together for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will have nothing to do with them. And why is it that so many peddle dis aster knowing at the same time that if they do, their lives will be ruined? Some people cannot help it. for pessimism usually comes from bodily disorders, and this cannot always be prevented. The stomach, for instance, is the most com mon cause of discontent, sour face, reck lessness, disgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach there is the secret of many a failure. Anyone can have, a good stomach, a strong stomach, a stomach that can take care of anything and everything that is put Into it. no matter whether it is a very b.id stomach now or not.
