George Chadwick, Lexington, Ky. — Johnson, employe of the eom pany. The wreck was caused by the neg¬ ligence cm the part of the conductor and engineer of the passenger train, which left Columbus at 1:15 o’clock farbh orders to wait for the show tiain at Muscogee junction until 1:35 o’clock and failure to respect this or¬ der was followed by the collision two miles beyond the junction. Engineer J. L. Fricklen, of Ma¬ con, of the passenger train, which failed to obey orders was probably fatally injured . A relief train was operated to Co himlbus, where a number of the bodies and injured people were car ried. Wreekers and railway officials were soon on the scene of the wreck, (which is the most disastrous that has occurred in Georgia in several years. Following the wreck, fire from the show train engine was communicat¬ ed to the carnival cars to its rear, and in less than two hours ten floats were totally destroyed by the con¬ suming flames. Iti this section of the train was the exhibit of Fred 3. Kempf and wife, and they were caught in their sleeping compart¬ ment and burned to death before as¬ sistance could be extended. Both were pinned to the room and it was only by sheer good fortune that they were able to pass their little baby girl out to friends who were work¬ ing with the speed of demons to ex¬ tricate the unfortunate parents. From ten to twenty attaches of the carnival company were likewise riding in the ten-car section which was destroyed, sleeping compart¬ ments being arranged in the various fronts for this purpose. The people were nearly all asleep in the Pullman cars on the back end of the train, and these were shaken up considerably by the wreck, but were not hurt seriously. However, there was trot a person in the for¬ ward cars who was not seriously hurt. Some of them were buried among the debris of the wrecked train and were later dug out by their friemds. but others burned to death in the fire which raged after the en¬ gines collided. CLUB CORNER.

Nov. 23.triThe extra¬ ordinary session of the legislature— extraordinary in more senses than one—will probably end tomorrow. The senate, it is stated, is thorough¬ ly in favor of the house resolution setting tomorrow as the definit eclos ing time, and since there are no con¬ flicts o noutside of the question of •appropriations it is believed that ev¬ erything essential can be finished by that time. With all details of prohibition set¬ tled; with the Western & Atlantic commission situation in good shape as the result of the efforts of <^ol. Walter Andrews and others who have made it a special study; with the general appropriations bill agreed on In its main outlines, there is N no reason why the assembly should prolong its session. There is some doubt as to whether all the generous increases in appro¬ priations for various State institu¬ tions will stand. Some of the legis¬ lators have favored these unexpected increases, it is said, not because of interest in the institutions whic hget them, but in order to make the bur¬ den on tax payers and the deficit in the State treasury just as painful as possible when revenue from near beer saloons and locker dubs is cut off.

Griel, of the Ancona survivors, was returning to New York from special hospital work, to which she was called at Bari, Italy, by the Russian Red Cross. She sailed from America last August on the Adriatic. “I would not go there merely to bind up wounds," she said. “There is too much misery here at home that needs an abundant supply of working physicians. I am going for the or¬ ganizing part of the work.” At ten, Dr. Griel was a cash girl in a store at Grand and Allen streets, New York city. She married at six¬ teen, and after having three chil¬ dren found herself called upon to support them. She said once that it took heir fourteen years to save the $2,500 with which, after reaching the age of thirty, she went through medi¬ cal school.

WAS SENTENCED TO SERVE ONLY TWENTY-NINE DAYS Tragedy Was the Culmination of an Ill-Matched Honeymoon in Which Adventuress Participated—Charl¬ ton to Return to United States. New York, Nov. 23.—Porter Charl¬ ton, the former Netw York bank clerk who was found gdilty in the court* of Italy of the murder of his wife at“ their villa on Lake Coma, com¬ pletes today his sentence of twenty nine days; and will step forth a free man. Many friends of the young American will greet Mm at the pris¬ on doors. It is expected that he will sail soon for America to begin life anew. The tragedy at Lake Como was the culmination of an ill-matched honey¬ moon. The young bank clerk, fasci¬ nated by a fair divorcee in New York, married her and took her abroad. She wag much older than Charlton, a woman of the world. At Lake Como they quarrelled repeated¬ ly. Finally in a fit of rage Charlton beat his wife to death. The jury which tried Charlton found extenu¬ ating circumstances, and that Charl¬ ton was only partially responsible for>the tragic result of the quarrel. He was sentenced to serve 29 day* in jail, in addition to the tfane ha bad served since the murder in 1910. Charlton comes of a prominent American family. His father is Paul Chen Item, former federal judge of the district of Porto Rico. His friend* stood by him in hi* extradition fight to prevent his being returned to Italy after he had fled 4frat country after the murder. For three years Chari¬ ton was held prisoner in Jersey City, arid his friends carried the case to the supreme court of the United States. He made many friends in Italy durng his latenr confinement in jail there, and every effort was made to lighten h» sentence. The amnes¬ ty of Italy toward prisoners, as a result of the war, together with the long period Charlton was held, short¬ ened his actual sentence to 29 days.

COMIC SUPPLEMENTS UP FOR DISCUSSION Efforts Will Re Made to Replace .Nonsensical Department With Educattaul Feature*. Washington, Nov. 23.—The move¬ ment to replace the so-called funny sheet* which are used as attractions for the children by the daily and Sunday papers, by industrial art fea¬ tures of constructive and education¬ al character, Education is endorsed by Com¬ missioner of Claxton. The idea is to give the children some¬ thing to do, to work out, and to in¬ culcate thought and activity in chil¬ dren. The plan has 'been endorsed by many eduqatore and children’s aid societies. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, once said: “As I have seen more and more education during my pro¬ fessional career, I have come more and more firmly to the conclusion that the moat effective kind of edu¬ cation is obtained at every stage, not by Itatonlng and reading, but by observing, comparing and doing.** The alleged “comic*” may soon be displaced in many large newspapers by industrial art pages, which will furnish something to be built by the children, something that will require the using of ingenuity and thought, with satisfactory effects that will please the youthful mind.
