Peru, lnd.. Sept. 2*.—James Sullivan,
auperlntendent of the Peru division, at
Wabash headquarters here, has just
received a message from Danville,
Ills.,_stating that every member of the
train crew was killed, Including En
gineer Butler and Fireman Ellison, of
Peru; Baggage Master Frank Peck, of
Detroit, and Malt Clerk Ed Harding,
of Ivesdale, Ills. The names of the
conductor,, brakeman, porter and two
more malt clerks are yet unknown here.
From Indications the members of the
train crews were killed Instantly and
then cremated. •
The lists of the occupants of the
berths In the sleepers are lost, con
sequently the Identification of the
bodies la difficult. It Is believed that
the adjustment committee front the
Peru division to St. Louis to settle the
boiler makers' strike, were lost In the
wreck.
Chief Dispatcher Culltn says as the
wreck did not occur under his jurisdic
tion, the names of the dead and
wounded will not be reported to him.
He, however, says the entire crew died
and perhaps many passengers.
Danville, III, Sept. 26.—Wabash pas
senger train No. 8, east-bound, ran
Into a freight train on a siding at
Catlln early today. Engineer J. B.
Butler, Fireman W. W. Ellison, both
of Peru, lnd., and Mall Clerk Harding,
of Orville, III., were killed.

missing. He wan known to be In the
caboose of the freight train. Forty-
three persons were Injured, some of
them being taken to Decatur hospital
and others to hospitals In this city.
Many of those brought to this city will
die.
It Is thought that the freight crew
which had side-tracked Its train to al
low the passenger train to pass failed
to throw the switch.

CAROLINA PORTLAND
CEMENT CO.
With.the largest number of qandl-
dates for admission since the organi
zation of the school, the Tech Wednes
day morning started the first of the
entrance examinations. The remainder
of this week will be taken up with ex
aminations, but when the whistle blows
at 8 o’clock next Monday morning all
hands will fall to in the class rooms
and shops and work will begin In good
earnest.
The opening of the Tech this season
marks an Important step in the history
of the Institution. At the commence
ment exercises In June the announce
ment was made that a course In min
ing engineering would be offered this
year, and President Matheson has
since announced a course In pure
chemistry In addition to the one In
engineering chemistry now given. In
refernceHo the first Dr. Matheson states
that within tho past year he has been
constantly in receipt of requests for
thoroughly trained men who can take (
charge of the exploiting of the marvel
ous mineral resources of the South,
and as no other Southern institution
gave such training, It was a matter
that the Tech could not afford to, over
look. This was the direct reason why
the trustees took the* action they did.
New Library Built.
Another important step Is the be
ginning of the construction of the li
brary at the school. Tljls wns made
possible by the donation of $20,000 by
Andrew Carnegie last spring. This
donation was made In response to a
request from President Matheson, and
unusual in that Mr. Carnegie omit
ted the usual provision requiring that
an equal amount be yalsed, but he did
require that the sum of $2,000 be ap
propriated yearly by the board of
trustees for the support of the library.
This was complied with at the June
meeting, and the library will 'be an
established fact within a short time.
Already excavations for the foundation
have been made, and It Is expected
that the contractors will be ready to
turn the building over within the next
few months. «*-
At the June meeting of the board of
trustees a sum of money was guaran
teed to ennble the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association at the school to em
ploy a general secretary, who will de
vote his full time to the social and
moral upbuilding of the student body.
The first general secretary will be J.
Lambert, Nell, of Montrose, Miss., who
recently graduated at Mllsaps College.
Mr. Nell has had considerable expe
rience in college life and Young Men’s
Christian Association work, and It Is
thought that a large amount of good
work can be accomplished under his
direction this year.
All day long Tuesday and Wednes
day morning a stream of students. In
tending to enter, were to he seen on
the campus, and Professor Wallace,
who has complete control of the dor
mltorles, wns busy assigning the men
to their vnrlous rooms, and where it
was Impossible to give them a room,
telling them where they might secure
board until q. vacancy might occur. The
dormitories will only accommodate
about 240 men. and It Is said that there
are at lenst 150 more on tfe waiting
list. Many of the resident* In the
neighborhood have opened their homes
to applicants and there will he no dif
ficulty In supplying quarters for all
who come.
As soon as the examinations are over
many of the new men will probably
appear on the football field as candi
dates, and Coach Helsman Is hoping
to secure u number of good men. At
present his squad Is sllgmly depleted
on account of the number of men who
are studying for their examinations,
but by the first of next week he ex
pects to see enough for several squads
on the field.
No predictions will be given out by
the authorities as to the attendance
this year, hut It Is felt by all that It
will be a record-breaker. There seems
little room to doubt that It will easily
pass the 500 mark, nnd the more opti
mistic expect that there will be dose
to COO names on the register before
the end of the year.

Havana, Sept. 26.—It Is a question of
hours now when the United States will
take charge of the government of Cuba
unless there Is u radical and unexpect
ed change. The Palma government has
given an unqualified refusal to the pro
posed settlement for the troubles which
have Imperilled the existence of the re
public, and It is proposed to cfill a spe
cial session of congress this week, and
practically dissolve the government, by
resigning In a body.
If this course Is pursued It would

than to take over the government ai

A. E. WARRENDORF, FORMER
ATLANTAN, COMMITS SUICIDE
Those Atlantans who remember A.
E. Warrendorf, whose career In At
lanta about (our years ago attracted
considerable attention, will recall with
Interest the story which lies behind
a dispatch. In a Tuesday’s paper. This
dispatch says that A. E. Warrendorf.
alios Charles W. Blntsen, committed
suicide by drinking carbolic acid, after
being arrested In Cairo, III., on a
charge of forgery, preferred by the
Memphis. Tenn., police.
The career of A. E. Warrendorf in
the Atlanta social and business w’orld
was a little dazzling. His name Was
unceasing gossip for the women, a
guide to the fop, and, at first, sus
picion to but few.
He assumed the high-sounding name
of Warrendorf. He was a German, at
least he could speak German. War
rendorf claimed to have been profi
cient In several other languages also,
and on one occasion is known to have
beaten a hasty retreat after firing a
’’parley-vous francals” at a visiting
Frenchman.
Warrendorf was one of “the ”400,” and
based hts claim to this social position
on the contention that he was first cou
sin to Warrendorf, the great New York
florist; that his father was a member
of the Black Eagle, the great order
of Prussia; that he w*as assistant Ger
man consul from Savannah. And,
strange to say, the people believed in
his greatness.
Although Warrendorf was only
buyer and seller of second-hand law
hooks, he put up at the Aragon and
had his offices In the Equitable. Final
ly, after being charged with swindling
J. L. Anderson out of $600, borrowing
money and forging various indorse
ments, Warrendorf found It conve
nient to skip to Philadelphia, where
he w r as later arrested ort a charge of
swindling a prominent hotel. He was
brought back to Atlanta, tried before
Judge Roan and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for five years. Warrendorf
was pardoned after about two years'
service.
And now. In a recent issue of a Mem
phis dally paper, appears a double
column likeness of A. E. Warrendorf,
who. It stntes, w'as wanted In Memphis
on the charge of forging checks and
indorsements amounting to a sum be
tween $3,000 and $5,000. Warrendorf
had become manager of the Memphis
Realty System and editor of The Mem
phis Bulletin. He won the confidence
of thd Memphis people Just,as he did
those of Atlanta, and then. It Is alleged,
swindled them and fied. He was ap
prehended In Cairo, III., and Imme
Uiately A. E. Warrendorf, alias Charles
W. Blntzen, drank the poison that paid
the penalty of a misspent life.
“THE CLANSMAN" MAY BE
DENIED APPEARANCE HERE
'The Clansman.” Thomas Dixon’s
drama of the reconstruction period, is
billed to appear at the Grand theater
during the latter part of October.
Whether It will be presented Is yet to
be decided.
"The Clansman" was booked to ap
pear at Macon Wednesday night, but
he engagement w*as cancelled there at
the order of the mayor, who feared
that its vivid picture of the Ku Klux
Klan and its incendiary attack upon
the negro might. In the present state of
feeling, lead to more trouble.
The play was booked to be presented
in Montgomery, Ala., Thursday night,
but the city council of Montgomery
passed Tuesday u resolution 'prohibit
ing the production and authorizing the
police department to suppress It If any
attempt Was made to open the house.
Henry L. DeGIve, manager of the
Grand, stated Wednesday morning that
he had not decided regarding the pre
sentation of “The Clansman” In At
lanta.
’it Is booked for the latter pnrt of
October,” he said. “I am waiting for
the arrival of the representative of the
company before taking any steps to
ward cancelling the engagement here. '
THE CLANSMAN IS SUPPRESSED
BY COUNCIL OF MONTGOMERY
Special to The Georglnn
Montgomery. Ala., Sept. 26.—The
race riot In Atlanta has caused the sup
pression of the play, “The Clansman,”
which w*as to have been presented here
tomorrow* night. The city aldermen
decided It would be unwise at this time
to let the play be presented In Mont
gomery. #
Governor Jelks, in commenting on
the trouble In Atlanta, says:
“The white people of the South In
dict the whole colored race on the
ground that even the better element
lends no assistance whatever In ferret
ing out criminals of their own color.
The respectable colored people must
learn not to harbor their criminals; but
to assist the officers In bringing them
to Justice. This Is the larger crime,
and it provokes such offenses as the
one at Atlanta.”

“Whatever It’s my duty to do I’ll do,
but If It's just a question of discretion
I’ll not turn him aloose.” Thus spoke
Judge Pendleton Wednesday morning
ns he refused to liberate C. C. Lee,
churged with rioting Saturday night,
on the first hearing of an application
for a writ of habeas corpus. The court
set 2:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon as
the hour for taking under considera
tion a bill of exceptions.
Lee’s lawyers, Tinsley D. umiLamur
Rucker, argued that their client hud
been Imprisoned In violation of the
constitution of the United States, and
even of the law under which he hud
been convicted. *
It was argued that under the thir
teenth amendment of the constitution
there shall be no involuntary servitude
without due conviction. They claimed
that I^ec hud not been duly convicted,
In that u Jury had not passed on his
case. Judge Pendleton ruled, however,
that due conviction In a municipal
court did not mean a Jury trinl.* «
Then It was argued that (he law
under which Lee was sent to the stock
ade for thirty days, without the option
of u fine, provided that the prisoner
should be confined In the "station
house.” But the Judge ruled that "sta
tion house,” “calaboose,” etc., were
used indiscriminately In the ordinance,
and that besides, when the law was
made, the^e was no “stockade.” He
held, with City Attorney May son, that
the stockade was the city prison, and
that the law authorized confining the
prisoner there.
Lee was sent to the city stockade for
disorderly conduct, and wns besides
bound over to answer to the criminal
courts of die county for assault and
battery.
"The judgment of the tecorder wal
right," said the judge.
