He remained away from the afternoon and evening ses sions yesterday and It was announced that he was busy preparing resolutions to be Introduced today. The peace gatherings yesterday were marked by three unique Incidents. One was the prominent part taken by wom en and children In the conference; the other waa a remarkable address by Ur. Nicholas Murray Butler In which he condemned Professor Hugo Munster- berg, the kaiser’s representative, for his plea In behalf of standing armies, and the third was a speech by J. W.

Ur. and Cain streets, at about 8 o'clock EARL GREY. Earl Grey, governor general of Canada, will be one of the speakers at the Peace Congress banquet Wednesday night C. A. Ridley saved Dr. Len O. Brough ton and Mrs. Broughton from death or more serious Injuries than they re ceived Tuesday night, when tho two were struck by*a street car at Peach tree and Cain streets. Dr. Ridley' was the only member cf the trio who saw the ear approaching. He pushed Dr. Broughton from the track and grasped at Mrs. Broughton, but her husband had already selxed her and was pulling her from the track. His efforts were too late, however, and Mrs. Broughton was knocked down and severely bruised by the front step. It Is feared Wednesday that her spine U Injured und that she must be placed in a plaster Jacket for a long period. "The action of the street car opera tors Is surprising, .to say the least,” said Dr. Ridley Wednesday morning. "The car stopped a moment after the acci dent to permit J5r. Block to get off and come to our assistance. The conductor looked back, saw Mrs. Broqghton on the ground, and then the car proceeded. No effort was made to learn the extent of her Injuries or to Investigate the accident." The accident occurred at Peaelitrea Tuesday night. It ts considered almost a miracle that Mrs. Broughton was not killed. Dr. Broughton's injury comes at a time when he Is at the height of n great effort to butld a tabernacle and Institutional church, and his confine- ment to his house Is looked upon by hi* friends as a great blow to the move ment. His Bible classes will be taught by Dr. Ridley during Dr. Broughton's enforced retirement, and Dr. Ridley will also fill the Tabernacle pulpit on next Sunday. T. P. Hollis was the motorman *of the car. while F. C. Turner was con' ductor. Officials of the street car company state that the Impression that their op eratlves did not stop to Investigate the accident was a mistake. They state that the cAnductor helped to assist Mrs. Broughton to her feet and carry her Into a drug store, and then telephoned for an ambulance. The work on the Masonic Templo has caused a fence be built Into the street at this point nnd there Is left no room for pedes trians unless they walk on the tracks. It Is stated that'the car was stopped >n Its . own length, Indicating that It was not running at a fast speed.

Kune., will shortly begin a horseback ride frtnn, Chattanooga to Atlantu over the route of General Sher man. Two years ago Father Sherman, son of General Sherman, started to ride over the route taken by his father In hls march to the sea, but the entire South rose up In protest. Father Shcrnmn started out from Chattanooga with a military escort •f regular cavalrymen from Chlcknmauga, but the feeling against it became so hostile that orders came from the war department recalling the military es cort. Then Father Sherman abandoned hls trip near Cartersvllle. It Is Improbable that the young mili tary men and Instructors from the training school will meet with such hostile reception.

It Is said that no ships suffered to any extent. Communication by rail with Vara Crus la entirely cut off, owing to tho sinking of roadbeds on both the Mext can and Inter-oceanic railways. News that came during the evening tended to contradict the dispatch that came yesterday to the National Bank, asserting that 500 lives had been lost In Chllpanclngo. On the contrary.

Totally unaware of the fact that he waa leaving death-traps in hls wake, a driver for Lone Bros., railroad con tractors, Is said by the county police to have been the cause of the exnlo- slon which partially wrecked a trolley car on Marietta street Monday night. Investigations by Lieutenant Dunbar, of Chief Turner's force, resulted In a baskettu| of dynamite sticks being picked up on Marietta street, and that there were no other explosions, with loss of life. Is considered almost mlrac ulous. No less than twenty-flve sticks of the deadly explosive were picked up by the county police along the route taken by tho contractors’ wagon, and fur. ther Investigation showed that during the trip to the railroad camp the ex plosive had dropped off the wagon intervals. It Is said by the police that one __ the cases containing the dynamite was broken and that the Jolting of the wag on caused ths sticks to tall out Into the street and remain there as death-traps for street car passengers and others. According to the Investigations Lieutenant Dunbar, the contractors ran short of blasting material and sent one of their wagons after a supply from their magazine. It happened that one of the cases was broken, and while the driver peacefully went hls way, the deadly stuff was dropping from the wagon. • It Is said that unless struck a heavy blow, the dynamite In this shape would hove been practically harmless, but 1 was shown by tho Monday night ex plosion that tho sticks wouldn't stand for rough treatment In the shape of be Ing run over by a trolley car, ENGINEER KILLED N FREIGHT WRECK MARY MANNER1NG COMES TO ATLANTA NEXT WEEK; A SHUBERT EXPERIMENT EX-EMPLOYEE HELD UP EXPRESS CLERK AND G£$25,000 Police Say Arrested Man Got Money and Has it Planted.
