Two Are Killed In A. C. L. Wreck
ThomaHvIlle. --Hundreds of people
visited the scene near Pine Park
where Atlantic Coast Line train 158,
Montgomery to Thomasville, was
wrecked, two negroes being killed and
the engine and five cats turning com
pletely over. The train was running
at a high rate of speed to make up
time, when the accident occurred, and
so great was the confusion it was
some time before It could be found
out how serious the damage was.
The negro coach suffered most, drop¬
ping 20 feet into a ditch of water and
mud. One man and a boy were killed,
and eight other negroes Injured. The
man was found completely submerged,
with his feet sticking from the mud.
No white passengers were injured se¬
riously. Conductor W. H. Hines, of
Montgomery, was standing in the ne
gro coach when the accident occurred
and was seriously injured. Engineer
Poundstone and the fireman escaped
witli slight injuries, although the en
sine turned completely over. Bag
gagemaster H. G. Tew, Mail Clerks
Etheridge and Lenolre and Express
Messengers Mohan and Bridges es
taped serious Injuries. An old goat
and a coop of chickens in the express
car were uninjured and seemed to
have enjoyed the adventure. The in
jnred parties were taken lo the Coast
Line hospital at Waycross. About
fifty feet of track was torn up and,
witli the wreckage piled on it, there
may be trouble In clearing, though the
engine turned completely the right-of
way at once. ;

ed as a good name in Georgia finan¬
cial circles it was claimed that he cash¬
ed in for about $30,000 on palter that
was found soon after his disappear
ance to be worthless. Detectives here
soon afler his operations were con¬
vinced that he was the same smooth
i artist who had operated in many cit
ies and served terms in various stale
penitentiaries. It was declared that

! Texas only a few months before his
appearance in Savannah.

ent aldermen, Otis Latliem, from the

Five Coal Dealers Reduce Prices I
Atlanta.—Reductions in coal prices
of from $15.75 (o $12.25 per ton were
announced by three dealers,
five local coal concerns which have
cut prices during the present week.
The principal reasons given for the
drop are the reduction of wholesale
prices at the mines, and the better
service offered by the railroads. It is
also claimed that the mild weather
has somewhat lessened the demand.
The dealers who made reductions
were the Stocks Coal company, the
Jellico Coal company and the Atlantic
Ice and Coal corporation. Reductions
had been made the first of the week
by R. O. Campbell Coal company and
the Meinert Coal company.

cy division of the superior court on
a charge of voluntary manslaughter i
It was charged that Lyles shot and
killed another negro bellboy in an ar¬
gument over a girl. He was indicted
on a charge of murder, but a “consent
vardict” of guilty to the charge of vol
uatary manslaughter was taken.
ANTI-STRIKE! BILL PASSES
Fight Was Expected, But The Drastic
Bill Got Through Without
Objection
Washington.—Senator Poindexter's
drastic anti-strike bill passed the sen¬
ate. But that isn’t the story, The
story Is that this measure, which had
been e>pected to kick up one of the
biggest rows of the session, was pass¬
ed by the senate without objecMon,
without debate, without a roll call,
almost without anybody knowing it
was happening. Nobody was more
' surprised than Senator Poindpxter
himself. He admitted afterward that
he had expected to see the senate
chamber torn more or less asunder.
The Poindexter bill includes the
anti - strike provisions of the Esch
Cnminins act, wihch were stricken out
in conference. These were intended
to prevent railway employees from
striking or Inducing other employees
to strike. The bill' also provides a
similar restraint for employees of
concerns supplemental to railway op-j
oration, such as coal mines or railway
equipment manufacturers, when such
a strike is intended to hinder the op-'
eration of the railroads. An offense]
under the proposed act would be a fel¬
ony and the punishment provided is
a fine not exceeding ten thousand dol¬
lars or imprisonment not exceeding!
ten years, or both. I
Senator Poindexter, seen after the
passage of the bill, was still puzzling I
over the mariner in which it had oc¬
curred •'With the whole country ■
more or less divided into two camps |
on the subject,” he said, “I certain-j
)v expected considerabl opposition."
Concerning the bill itself, he said: j
“Protection of commerce is the sole - ■
amt of the hill. None of the inhibi¬
tions of the hill would apply to any j
of the acts named unless they were
done with intent to obstruct, delay,
hinder or prevent the movement of
commodities of commerce between the
B | nt( .K or w itht foreign countries.”
Organized labor, whose bitter oppo¬
sition resulted in the conference com¬
mittee taking the anti-strike clause out
of the Esch-Cummins act, is expected
to protest so violently that the re¬
mainder of the bills’ course will he
anything but smooth.
EX-KING CONSTANTINE IS

Venice.—Former King Constantine,

arations (o depart from Venice at

From the moment Constantine set
foot on the deck of the Averoff, thus
figuratively standing on Greek soil

cruiser roared oui a royal salute, ital
inn dignitaries paid calls of ceremony
and the crews of many vessels in tht
