4 6 DEAD. 45 HURT WHENTRAIN 15 DERAILED Pennsylvania Flyer Jumps the Track and Rolls Down 25- Foot Embankment. WESTCHESTER, PA., Nov. 28.—Six persons are dead and 45 injured as the result of the wreck of the Western Ex press on the Pennsylvania railroad six miles from here early today. That so many escaped death is considered re markable, as the train, after jumping the track, plunged down a 25-foot em bankment. The dead have not been identified. Twenty of the injured were brought to the Westchester hospital and twenty one were rushed by special train to a hospital at Harrisburg. Six of those injured are believed to be fatally hurt. The w’reck occurred at Glen Loch, a lonely flag station six miles from here. The express was composed of two en gines, a postal car, a combination bag gage car and smoker, one day coach and nine sleeping cars. As the train was rushing along a level stretch of track at high speed the first engine jumped the track. The sec ond engine, the postal car and the com bination car remained on the track, but the first five sleepers, which were all steel, left the track and rolled down a 25-foot embankment. All those killed were in the cars that went over the cm. bankment. Word was wired to nearby towns for relief trains and physicians. A train with twenty doctors and a large staff of nurses arrived from Philadel phia to assist in caring for the injured. A snow storm was in progress and a heavy wind blowing which aaded to the sufferings of the victims. Great difficulty was experienced in removing the injured. The cries of those pinned in the wreckage could be heard fat from the scene of the crash. Those who escaped injury did heroic work until outside assistance arrived. LONDON POLICE HEAD, SHOT BY CHAUFFEUR, SERIOUSLY WOUNDED LONDON, Nov. 28.—Sir Edward Richard Henry, chief commissioner of the London police, who was shot last night by Charles Bower, a chauffeur, was iti serious condition today and the attending physicians, while hopeful, would not commit themselves to a defi nite prediction of his ultimate recovery. Hriwer was remanded until Saturday to awaitXhe outcome, of the wound. The police have learned that Bower applied for a taxicab license a month ago, but that it was refused by the po lice. They attribute the shooting to revenge. Although Bower fired three shots, but one struck the mark. This entered the left groin, inflicting a dangerous wound. Sir Edward has been head of the metropolitan police since 1904. Be fore that he was in the Indian service. WOMAN SAVES FOUR SLEEPING FAMILIES PERILED BY FLAMES Occupants of the rooming house at 96 Cooper street are giving their thanks to Mrs. Rex Johnson who, waking at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, found the house in flames and, disregarding her own safety, ran up and down the halls waking those sleeping in other rooms. She did not desist in this work until the safety of all was assured. The house was owned by Mrs. J. G. C. Bloodworth and was occupied by four families.

Just because one old man walked 71) miles to got a pardon for a wayward son. in order tjjat the son might "take Thanksgiving din- a etv-w ner with the old folks,” and just because a four teen-year-old girl petitioned the governor to tak? her brother out of the chaingang and put him in the state reformatory, and just because both pleas were successful, Gov ernor Joseph M. Brown does not wish the impres sion to become deep-seated in the public mind that every old man walks 70 miles ami every fourteen, year-old girl who calls at the executive offices can put over stunts of similar persuasion. The governor has much of the milk of human kindness in his make-up and he believes in extending executive clemency wherever it is indicated, hut a merely sympathetic plea, a "sob" story with nothing substantial behind It, does not get anywhere particularly in the Brown philosophy. The governor lets it be understood, gently l»ut firmly, that executive clem ency in iiis office arises out of merito rious cases only, and parties encour aged by late events need not waste either their time or the governor's with pleas for commutation of sentence, un less there is very substan tial in the cases besides the sympathet ic end of it. And there were entirely sufficient reasons for clemency in the eases of the old man and the young girl, re cently successfully argued before the governor. Referring to a statement made by the executive department of the state of Georgia to the executive department of the state of Oklahoma, to the effect that the governor of Georgia is power less to remove or In any Wise discipline a sheriff in Georgia, and that the sher iff may be reached byway of a trial by jury-, and in no other way. The Sa vannah News comments vigorously as follows: The necessity for a change In ex isting laws was impressed on the people of this state during a recent Georgia railroad strike, and in the case of one or two lynchings and at least one hanging. The Georgia sheriff Is responsible only to the people who elect him, but when he shows a disposition to look more carefully after his own re-election than after the enforcement of the law, it does seem as if there should be some method of administering discipline more speedy than the slow-moving trial by jury. It is altogether likely- that two new laws will be proposed In the next legis lature vitally affecting the points raised by The News. A statute will be proposed giving the governor more direct power in the mat ter of disciplining a sheriff derelict in his duty, and another will be proposed providing for the execution of all crim. Inals condemned to death at some cen tral point within the state —either At lanta or at the state farm, near Mil ledgeville. Both of these acts will greatly aid, so many people think, In the sure and orderly- enforcement of the criminal law. Game Warden Jesse Mercer says that more hunters' licenses are being Issued in Georgia tills year than ever before, and with little or no friction. When the licenses were first required by the state there was considerable kicking from various quarters, and pro tests were registered frequently. This year, however, the licenses are being taken out and paid for cheerfully, as the ■ " 1 Yo<<™ I f Ml f f ARE THEY WEAK OR PAINFUL? Do your lung* ever bleed? Do you have night sweat* ?

NOVEMBER 28, 1912. public seems to have been educated up, in away, to the fact that the game laws are designed not only to protect the game, but to protect the hunter and the sports as well. "The game laws of Georgia," said Mr. Mercer, "are working smoothly and most satisfactorily. I do not antici pate any widespread violations of the statutes, moreover, as the public seems to realize that we have made up our minds to enforce them rigidly, and impartially, wherever a disposition to violate or evade them is discovered." Chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission Judson J. Clements, who formerly represented the Seventh Georgia district in the national con gress, said In a recent interview that increased speed is not the thing the traveling public needs or desires so much as it is comfort and sanitation In travel. The commissioner thinks that dirty-, dingy- car#, stuffy, badly heated and poorly ventilated, minus perfectly san itary arrangements for drinking and toilet purposes—these, and poor depot equipment and so forth, are much more to be deplored than that it takes five hours, rather than four and a half, to go from somewhere to somewhere else. So exacting are the duties of the commission in Washington that Mr. Clements seldom gets to Georgia now adays, byt he came down to vote for Wilson and Marshall on November 5, all right! A nice, little gubernatorial boom for "Rufe” Hutchens, of Rome, has been Inaugurated by some of his admiring friends. Georgians .generally will not object to a Hutchens gubernatorial boom, of course —but with John M. Slaton's in auguration still some six months off. it does look as if the Hutchens boom has been trotted out a little early in the game! The court of appeals has. cleared up the atmosphere in two particulars, with respect to the new game laws. The court holds that It Is unlawful to hunt-Any sort of game at any time, pro tected or unprotected by the law. save in one's own militia district, without a state license to hunt; anjl that game, protected and unprotected, can not be hunted on land other than t-he hunter's own, without the owner's permission. The court also holds that a hunt with hounds, legally started, may be carried onto land where the hunter has not the owner’s permission to hunt, but that a new hunt may not be originated there, without the owner’s permission. The game laws are now very well de fined in Georgia, and the authorities are of the opinion that those who violate them must. In most instances, do so de liberately and knowingly—and they will proceed accordingly, where necessary. Despite the depressing predictions of a few who said the country- would go straight onto the rocks of hard times right after the national election, The Winder News sees ralnsbows a-plenty in the skies, and thinks things look all, right in Georgia. Protesting vigorously against such "hard times” wails as it has heard, The News advances these suggestions: Yes, times are hard, if you listen to the song of the money-grabber and the pessimist. But Is there a real reason for hard times? Cotton is selling today for a third more than it did this date last y-ear. And It Is a debatable question as to whether the crop is off more than a third, compared with the average crop raised in this section. When a few Glooms and Grouches Jregin to predict hard times, every old Money-bag and Skin-flint starts the bailiffs to hustling and a situa tion is created that Is hurtful. Most of these men are like the Irishman who heard the bank was going to the wall——he wanted his money right then. When told to draw his check and it would be given him, he said: "Faith, and if I can git it, I don't want it.” If those who owe money will honestly do what they can to meet their obligations, and if creditors will be as lenient as circumstances will permit, times will soon loosen up. Reports from all over Georgia indi-\ cate that times are all right It seems that politics does not neces sarily depress business in this state, for Georgia has had lots of politics during the past two years, and hand in hand with it came abundant prosperity. Representative Samuel J. Tribble, who is just completing his first term in congress, and will begin a new one on March 4, passed' through Atlanta to day, on Ills way to Washington. He believes the Democratic congress now in session will shape largely the tariff program for the coming special session of the new congress, and that the extra session need not last more than 60 days. He believes the tariff will be revised sharply downward and that right off the reel. Mr. Tribble Is of the opinion that the Democrats would make a fatal mistake to trifle with the tariff issue, in the light of the late presidential campaign results. RAILROAD AND EXPRESS MEN PREPARE FOR XMAS MACON, GA.. Nov. 28.—A1l of the di vision officials of the Central of Georgia railroad and about 40 of the agents of the Southern Express Company met here yesterday afternoon and last night and formulated plans for the expedition of the Christmas freight business. They discussed means for the best handling of the thousands of packages and adopted a system which will, it is be lieved, result in better service and more satisfaction for all parties concerned in the transportation of holiday goods this year. THINK GOO, CRIES PATRICK, IS HE GOESjHEE Lawyer, Twice in Shadow of Chair For Slaying Million aire Rice, Pardoned. OSSINING, N. Y., Nov. 28.—" Thank God, this is a real Thanksgiving day for me." These were the words uttered today by Albert T. Patrick, convicted slayer of William Marsh Rice, who was par doned from Sing Sing prison by Gov ernor Dix after his ten-year fight for freedom, during which he twice was within the shadow of the electric chair. Patrick, who was sentenced to death In 1902 for the murder of Rice, an aged Texas millionaire, in New fork city In September, 1900, had waged an unceas ing legal battle for his release and had spent a fortune. Wife Overjoyed by Pardon. Governor Dix sent the pardon from Albany by mail yesterday, and it was expected that Patrick would be released about noon. Mrs. Patrick, who married the lawyer in the Tombs In New York city on March 30, 1902, arrived here this morn ing from her home in Brooklyn, over joyed at the successful conclusion of the long battle. "I knew my husband would win his freedom, because I knew that he was innocent,” said Mrs. Patrick. "We have had a hard struggle, but the result jus tifies all our efforts.” Warden Kennelly, who knew unoffi cially that Patrick had been pardoned | before the papers arrived from Albany, had made all arrangements to release the prisoner. May Fight For Rice Fortune. It was reported that Patrick may leave soon for St. Louis, the home of John T. Milliken, his wealthy brother in-law, but may return to New York as a claimant for the millions left by the aged man for whose murder he was ar rested. Milliken aided Patrick in his fight, spending large sums to sustain the le gal battle. He always had believed in Patrick’s Innocence, and was one of the first to wire his congratulations when he learned that Governor Dix had granted a pardon. Many of the persons throughout the United States who have been deluging the offices of New York governors for ten years with letters and telegrams in Patrick’s behalf sent telegrams of con gratulations today addressed to Sing Sing. WOMAN HELD FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT ATTACKS PRISONER Mrs. Minnie Harmon. 130 Gilmer street, who will be arraigned before Recorder Broyles tomorrow afternoon for disorderly conduct, caused a scene In police court yesterdaj- afternoon and temporarily halted proceedings when she attacked Hattie Davis, a negro woman, in the prisoners' room. Officers rushed into the room and sep arated the two women before any serious damage was done. The Davis woman screamed, wildly for help when assailed and startled the whole court room. Fear ful that Mrs. Harmon would renew the attack, officers removed the Davis woman from the room. She said Mrs. Harmon began beating her without cause. SWALLOWS POISON WHEN WIFE WON’T “MAKE UP” ST.

SUFFEREDTORTURES WITHECPA Spots Burst and Ran All Over Face. Sore and Inflamed. Had to Tie Mittens on Hands. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured Completely. Freeland, Md,—“ Baby’s eczema started In little spots and would burst and run all over Ills face and wherever the water would touch his face, it would make another sorn. I’lmplos would break out and make his face sore and inflamed, and he was very cross and fretful. It was awful. He suffered tortures from it, and wo had to tie mittens on ills hands to keep him from scratching. We tried everything we knew and had him to three doctors, but they could not help him. A friend of mine told mo of the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment and I went to a drug store and bought them. -When wo would bathe his face with the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuticura Ointment, he would be much better. He would wake up in the nights and cry with his face and we would put on some of the Cuticura Ointment and thou he would rest all right. By keeping this up every day his face began to heal and then got well altogether. He suffered just about a year lieforo we used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they have cured him completely of the eczema. We use the Cuticura Soap all the time and there Is no better soap for the skin.” (Signed) Mrs. Harry Wright, Mar. 21. 1912.

General Thanksgiving. His Diary From Plymouth Rock to Rock-and-Rye—A Stirring Autobiography of Holidays From 1623 to 1912. New England, November 27, 1623. This day Fare You Well Buckhorn. Certain Salvation Drybones and your servant beseeehed the new parson to pray for rain again, and see if he could not fetch it this time. If he doesn’t, we’ll get another parson. It has been a dry season and a hard one. Nothing to eat but wild turkey, bear steak, ven ison, duck and vegetables such as are found in the marsh or raised by hard work. Wish I’d stayed in England, but wife insisted on booking a stateroom suite in the Mayflower. Said all the best people were, to be on board and one might as well not come at all as watt for a slow boat. November 28.—Thursday. The par son got his rain and holds his job. I suspect that he saw the cloud hanging over Cape Cod before he started, but he kept on exhorting until the clouds opened up. We are thankful the drouth is broken, but still more so that the parson didn’t have to cohort more than three hours before getting action. A donation party for him next week. Gov ernor Bradford suggests we give thanks this day for our blessings and do the same everj- season. Maybe he's got something to be thankful for. Being a governor pays well. Thanksgiving Day, 1624.—R05e at 4 a. m'., took my blunderbuss and went hunting for Thanksgiving dinner. Fair luck. Two turkeys, a deer and three Indians. Former fairly fat. The wife prepared a great feast of turkey and venison, with a dish of red berries from the swamp which are so sour as to set the teeth on edge, but the last ship bore suger in plenty from the Indies. It also boi-e a cargo of the rum of Ja maica, which we did test with great pains. My head is like to split. It must have been the berries, which are called “cran” in the language of the In dians. November, 1690. This day came a strange pamphlet from Boston which the printer does call a newspaper and says will print-It once each week, to in form the colonists of what the world is doing. Methinks he will have a great task to find new wonders to record every week in the year. It sets forth that turkey is of greater price than in the history of Thanksgiving day, a fat pair bringing sixpence in silver. Ye printer blames the high cost of living on the aristocrats. Methinks he will cool his heels ih the stocks for this. November, 1773. It is Thanksgiving day, but much talk of discontent with English rule. The tariff on tea will be oru ruin, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. lam thankful this day that I do not drink tea. There is no tariff on rum. November, 1781.—This be truly a day of Thanksgiving. My Lord Cornwallis has surrendered and the British are driven forth. My senator and iny con gressman do promise I shall be keeper of the-mint, which doth greatly appeal to me, for surely there is money in it. A merry quip, that, and one which shall live through the ages. November, 1863.—News has come over the line about what General Sher, man said war is. The general is dead right. Only it’s colder than the place he mentioned. Ate Thanksgiving din ner in camp. Mule steak, planked. Cof fee made of sweet potatoes, roasted brown. Sassafras tea on the side. Last course, moonshine licker stilled in a coffee pot from corn the mule would have eaten, had he lived.

There is very little excuse for any person to claim that he has been “stung” on a purchase. Fifty year? ago the buyer had to look out, but to day it is unusual .to find a merchan* who will not return the money for any article that has proved unsatisfactory. An excellent this kind of fair dealing is shown by the clean-cut guarantee that ail Atlanta druggists give on Dodson's Liver Tone. These people tell us that any person who pays 50c for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone and does not find it a gentle and most pleasant liver .onic, harmless, but a sure reliever of constipation and a perfect substitute for calomel, cap get his money back just as quick as they can get it out of the money draw er. Dodson’s Liver Tone has practically taken the place of calomel. It is abso lutely harmless, sure in its action and causes no restriction of habit or diet. No wonder the drug people are glad to guarantee it, while other remedies that imitate the claims of Dodson’s Liver Tone are not guaranteed at all. (Advt.)
