Grand Rapids, Dec. 28.—Twenty-

nine Injured, several of them fatally,
as the result of a collision Saturday
evening of two passenger trains on
the Pere Marquette railroad half a
m|I^ west of East Paris and six
miles east of this city. The collision,
which was head-on, was caused, ac
cording to a statement Issued by the
general officials of the road at the
general offices In Detroit, by the high
wind blowing out the red signal lamp
at McCords, where the westbound
train. No. 5, should have stopped and
received orders to pass the eastbound
train at Fox.
The officials deny the report that
a misunderstanding of orders on the
part of one of the engineers was i
responsible for the collision. Accord
ing to the statement of the officials'
the trains were originally to have met i
and passed at Oakdale Park, but to
help the eastbound train the dispatch j
er issued new orders, fixing Fox as'
the meeting place. The eastbound
train received new orders, and the
westbound should have received It at
McCords. Instead, the train rushed
by this station, and the operator there
after reporting this fact found, on go
ing out to the platform that his red
light, which had been burning two
minutes before, had been extinguish
ed. presumably by the high wind that
was blowing.
The trains met with a terrific crash,
the baggage and smoking cars behind
each locomotive being reduced tc
kindling wood. The engines were com
pletely wrecked, the boiler of the one
which had pulled the eastbound train
being torn completely from the run
ning gear and standing perpendicular
ly in a ditch at the side of the track.
Engineer Frank Waterman, who sur
vived the catastrophe, says he and
E. B. Moon, the fireman, were caught
before they had time to save them
selves. He says he did not see the
eastbound train until the crash came
With few exceptions no persons oc

Washington, Dec. 28.—Although

for placing them in storage. Genera)

himself to callers. It is believed that
while the reply of Mr. Hay has niff

Frank McNamee, who was at the head
of the syndicate that stole more than
sixty negro bodies from the Lebanon
cemetery in this city, has been found
unconscious at Fifth and Walnut
streets with his head fractured. He
died a few hours later.
Owing to the fact that McNamee Is
supposed to have aroused the deep
enmity of negro lot holders who lost
relatives in Lebanon cemetery, the
police are Investigating, but thus far
have found no trace of his slayer.
McNamee was arrested for grave
robberies at the I-ehanon cemetery
and sent to prison for two years.
When he left the prison he was fol
lowed by negroes bent on killing him.
For years he lived In a state of con
stant terror, and regretted ever hav

STARVING CHILD CLINGS

WILL INVESTIGATE KILLING
OF FATHER AND SON.
Salt Lake, Dec. 28.—Keeping vigil i
over the body of his mother for over
forty hours, almost frozen and fam-!
ished, Elmer Rose, aged 2 years, yes-!
terday resented the efforts of police-!
men to take him away from the side
at the corpse.
“Somefln matter wis my mamma;
she won’t wake up,” was the plaintive
cry of the baby boy when Police Ser
geant Roberts lifted him from the
bed, where for nearly two days he'
had been trying to awaken her.
While the police were searching the
desolate house Frank Rose, a barber,
was detailing to the chief of police,
in his office, the details of the mur
der of his wife, which crime he com
mitted on Christmas afternoon. After
the tragedy he locked up the house,
leaving the baby boy with his victim
to starve, while ho slunk away to a
saloon and plied himself with liquor.
Yesterday he went to the police sta
tion, and. informing the authorities
of his awful crime, asked to be locked
up.
The tragedy occurred In a squalid ■
room at the rear of 48 West Third!
South street at 4 o’clock on Friday i
afternoon. Rose says that he shot
his wife after a quarrel.
Los Angeles, Dec. 28.—From a let-
ter received here by local attorneys
from D. W. Cholsser, representing the
Eastern relatives of Joseph and Louis
Cholsser of Equality. Ill., slain here
by police officers. It Is evident that
court proceedings against the officers
will follow. Criminal action against
the officers will depend upon the de
termination of District Attorney Fred
ericks, but civil suits for damages are
believed to be certain.
The letter received from the East
ern relatives makes the claim that the
Choissers were guilty of no crime
there, having only left a number of
debts behind which they were amply
able to pay. The writer states that
the slain men had always borne a
good reputation.
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
JAPAN MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR BLOODY CONFLICT.
Tokio, Dec. 28.—An Important joint
meeting of the cabinet and privy coun
cil was held to consider ways and
means in view of the grave situation,
but no difficulty is anticipated iu pro
viding for extraordinary expenditures
including the completion of the Seoul
Fusan railway.
It is believed that unless Russia
modifies her demand Japan will im
mediately safeguard Korea, though
such a step will not necessarily mean
war with Russia.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 28.—The con
census of opinion associated with th«
government, but not responsible there
for, is that the czar is so peacefully
disposed that he will make such con
cessions to Japan as are necessary
to prevent war, provided no unfor-
seen events force the hands of the
governments concerned.
At the same time the czar, it is
pointed out, agrees with those who
believe that preparation for war Is the
best safeguard for peace and that ap
parent willingness to allow matters
to be submitted to the test of arms
is more likely to lead to a satisfa«?-
tory compromise than an exhibition
of overmuch peacefulness.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 28.—The
Russian government has just placed
an order with Armour & Co. for $1,-
500,000 pounds of mess meat for im
mediate shipment to San Francisco.
The order calls for the delivery of
the meat at San Francisco by Jan. 22.
The meat, it Is said, is for the use of
the Russian army, and its destination
is said to be Port Arthur.
MORE WAGE
REDUCTIONS.
Pittsburg, Dec. 28.—The employee
of the Union Railroad company, with
the exception of the trainmen, have
been notified of a 10 per cent reduc
tion in wages, to take place on Jan.
1. The Union Railway company is
connected with the Carnegie Steel
company, and Is a subsidary of the
United States Steel corporation.
Chicago, Dec. 28.—The Blooming
and Open Hearth mills at the Inland
Steel company, Indian Harbor, are
running with union men for the first
time in nearly two months. Of the
900 men members of the Amalgamated
Iron. Steel and Tin Workers’ union
who struck because of a decrease in
wages, about 400 were put back to
work and the remainder expect to
be at their old stations soon. They
go back at a reduction of 10 per cent
Trenton, N. J., Dec. 28.—The re
duction of wages at the Trenton plant
of the American Bridge company,
which was announced some time ago,
has gone into effect. The reduction
is a graded one, running from 1 to 20
per cent. The 1 per cent reduction
is in the case of men who receive less
than $1.50 per day. Those who re
ceive above that amount have been
reduced from 10 to 20 per cent. The
men have submitted to the reduction.

Washington. Dec. 21.—A joint meet
ing of the committee on Irrigation of
the house and Senate was held late
Saturday afternoon, at which Prof. F.
H. .-ewell, chief of the reclamation
service, made an address giving de
tailed information concerning the ir
rigation plans in the far West. He i
told of preliminary’ work done on the
Colorado river project, and pointed out
that while thousands of acres of the
most fertile land in America could be
irrigated, there were many difficul
ties confronting the engineers, the
principal one being the question of
the divided title to waters between
Mexico and the United States, and
for the further fact that the channel
of the stream is sometimes within
the boundaries of Arizona and some
times in California, thus calling into
action state laws which must be recon
ciled with the national laws before
harmonious action can be assured.
