j Memphis, Tenn.—Officials of the
Nashville, Cliattanocsa and St. Louis
railway were investigating a series of
collisions which occurred in the Mem*
phis yards in which flvo railroad em
ployes were injured, three engines
, wrecked and a fast passenger train
barely escaped disaster.
The officials refused to make any
comment until they have thoroughly
investigating the accidents.
The .collision occurred, according to
witnesses, when L. A. Shell, engineer
•on a Bwitcb engine, seeing that a
lerash with an incoming ! freight train
could hot be averted, threw the loco
motive into reverse and leaped safely
from the cab. The switch engine was
not derailed by the Impact, and with
the throttle in reverse it started down
the track toward the city at what
witnesses say was a speed of between
40 and 60 miles an hour.
George W. Ellis, engineer on a
Frisco locomotive switching nearby,
saw the “wild” locomotive dash down
the track and with his engine gave
copse on a parallel trick while his
fireman blew the whistle continuously.
A Rock Island switching crew heard
his warning and leaped just a moment
before the wild locomotive crashed in
to the engine.
. The fast Memphis andNashville train
scarcely had celared the^ .track on
which the engine raced.
The injured are: F. W. Phillips, en
gineer, Queensbluff, Tenn.; L. J. Sa
vior!, fireman, Memphis; W. W.
Holmes, brakeman, Lexington, T^nn.;
L. M. Powell, brakeman, Darden,
Henn., and C. M. Holmes, Memphis.
Their condition is not believed to he
serious.

Chicago.—The shifting political opin
ion of the country's voters recorded as
widely divergent views on legislative
proposals as on the candidates involv
ed in the recent elections, according to
the latest returns from all parts of the
nation.
Relaxation of the present drastic pro
hibition laws, the soldiers’ bonus, meas
ures seeking governmental economy,
demands for greater expenditures of the
public funds, new taxation projects,
measures designed to bgnefit the farm
ers and Sunday blue laws were some
of the propositions upon which the
voters recorded their opinions.
Because of the greater*attention di
rected to the candidates, the returns
from the various state referendums
have been delayed, mahy of the issues
still remaining in doubt. In several
cases the outcome will’not be decided
until the official vote has been can
vassed. V'
On the prohibition issue, Illinois poll
ed an almost two to one vote in favor
of beer and light wine, and Ohio de
feated the same proposition, but by a
smaller majority. While Massachu
setts rejected a measure providing for
more stringent state prohibition en
forcement, California voted in favor of
a similar proposal. Prohibition sup
porters explained the size of the Illi
nois majority by declaring that they
had advised their adherents not to vote
on the issue.
