TWO TRAINS ~ WRECKED; 10 ’ MAYBE DEAD Iron Pipe Falls on Track, ft . Two Flyers Crash Into Obstruction, MORE THAN 50 HURT Wreckers Search Sleeping Cars, Believing Others Lost Lives. Bn United Press MOUNDS, 111., Aug. 6.—At least ten persons were believed killed and more than fifty injured today in a side-swipe wreck and derailment of two Illinois Central passenger trains north of here. Among the known dead was L. A. Drennan, Mattoon, 111., express messenger on the Chicago-to-New Orleans limited. The other train in the wreck was the Memphis-to-St. Louis Chickasaw, crack night flyer. The wreck was said by trainmen to have been caused by an iron pipe obstruction on the south bound right of way. Warning Is Phoned The enginemen on passenger train No. 203. Louisville to Jackson, Tenn., first saw the iron pipe, stopped and telephoned warning ahead to the Chickasaw, which was advised at Cairo. Word could not be sent to the south bound New Orleans train in time. The pipe 'measured 24 inches in diameter and was 20 feet long, the yardmaster here slid. Between fifty and sixty of the injured were taken to the St. Mary’s Hospital at Cairo, sixteen miles south of the scene of the wreck. Twenty-eight of the injured were Negroes, the hospital reported. One woman lost an arm, while several suffered broken limbs. The pipe obstruction was believed to have fallen from a freight which passed over the route during the night. Search Sleeping Cars Wrecking crews were sent to the scene from Cairo and Fulton, Ky. In addition to Drennan, the body of a man believed to be Joe Denny, 30. of Omaha, and that of an unidentified white woman were taken from the wreckage. Three unidentified Negro women also were killed. Wreckers were searching several overturned sleeping cars for three or more bodies believed pinned in the berths. Seven cars of the Memphis-to-St. Lou? and ten cars of the Chicago-New Orleans limited were derailed. Uninjured passengers on the Chickasaw were rerouted to St. Louis on another train. Identification of the dead was hampered by lack of clothing, as most of the victims were trapped in their berths. The man believed to be Denny and the unidentified white woman died on the way to the Cairo hospital.

POLISH FLIERS, SAVED AT SEA, TO TRY AGAIN I " Refuse to Give Up Hope of Paris-New York Dash, Despite Crash. DOWN NEAP PORTUGAL Swimming Aviators Picked Up by Ship; Turned Back From Azores. £ty l nited Press OPORTO. Portugal, Aug. 6. Rescued after crashing at sea when their trans-Atlantic airplane had faltered like a tired bird, Majors Idzikowski and Casimir Kubala today prepared to return to Paris, where they started on their adventurous flight at dawn Friday. “We hope to try again at the first opportunity,” Kubala said as he left the military hospital this morning and joined Idzikowski at a local hotel. For thirty-eight hours the two Polish war fliers had tried to reach land in their white Amiot biplanehalf the time driving on towards America and the other half trying to reach the friendly shores of Spain with their disabled machine. North of the Azores the fuel line of the maimed Pilsudski started functioning poorly. The fliers decided to beat back toward Europe. They could not repair the leak in the air. Seventy miles from the shore of Portugal the plane shot into the water, fortunately near the Hamburg-American liner Samos. Rescued While Swimming The two Polish fliers leaped into the water, swam about until sailors were put out to rescue them, and boarded the ship. Neither was injured, but aboard the liner Kubala fell and injured his right arm. The plane was badly damaged, but was towed to Lexioes where Kubala and Idzikowski were landed. Later the fliers came here, Kubala entering the military hospital. Major Kubala, at the military hospital, told the United Press of the trying thirty-eight hours of flying, of the crash and of their rescue by the German sailors. It was at dawn Friday that the Marshal Pilsudski left Paris to head out across the^tlantic. The plane was next sighted passing off the French coast. For hours there was silence. Then the British vessel Artec sighted the white plane north oi the Azores, flying steadily over the choppy and hazy sea. Hour? of Silence Three hours later another British vessel sighted this craft and reported it was heading back toward Europe. Then came more hours of silence. Fears generally were expressed that the Poles had met disaster. This silence kept up until Sunday noon when the Amos put into Leixoes and the fliers were taken ashore. Then it was learned the fliers had met disaster, but, fortunately, within close proximity of a rescue vessel. “We were compelled to turn back when we found our oil feed line was not functioning,” Major Kubala said. “We could not repair this feed line while flying. While returning toward Spain our engine started acting badly. As we were trying to locate the cause we felh into the sea about seventy miles south of Cape Finnistere. “We fell with such force that the wings of the plane were broken and the plane otherwise was damaged.” Fliers Thrown Into Sea , Kukala then told how he and Idzikowski—two veteran war fliers Who at one time were enemies of the air—were thrown into the sea and how they swam in the choppy water until the rescue boat was put out to them. The aviators were more concerned regarding their failure to reach New York than with their narrow escape from death. “Only a few more hours and we might have made it,” said Kubala. Mechanics today began to dismantle the aviators’ plane, which is to be taken to Paris.

Last Fire> Run Negro Firemen Mourn Death of Masonic Mascot ‘Ambition.’

BY DAN M. KIDNEY A MBITION is dead. The smoke-eating fire hound, who for the last two years never has missed a run with the Negro firemen from Station 1, Michigan St. and Indiana Ave., was buried today. Sunday he was run over and fatally injured by the pumper he had ridden so often. Only the intimate circle of his fire-fighting companions were admitted to the obsequies. It was stuffy in the fire station and there was moisture on many a dark cheek. The day was hot—but the fire boys also had lost a dear friend. They reminisced regarding him. Fireman John F. Logan told how the dog first came to the station. “He was a long, lean, hungry pup then, - ’ Logan recalled. “That was two years ago. \ “We called him ‘Ambition’ because he didn’t have any. Why, as hungry as that dog looked he wouldn’t eat a plate of meat unless he could reach it lying down.” b it a BUT one musn't speak disrespectfully of the dead. Dark looks from his fellow firemen caused Logan's memory to take a different trend. “You see at first he was a police dag—that is, he used to travel vith the patrolman on this beat,” he recalled. “Every one around Indiana Ave. knew him. “When winter came that first year it got too cold for the dog traveling with the patrolman. He started loafing around here and soon we adopted him as a member of the company. “He sure never lacked ambition when that alarm sounded. He would often be the first one on the pumper. If the local phone rang he wouldn’t move, but let the alarm phone sound and away he would leap, barking loudly.” 'B B B SUNDAY the dog had gone with Driver Harold Morgan on the pumper to get the tires filled with air. As Morgan was about to turn the machine around, two other dogs chased Ambition. He ran beneath the wheels and his back was broken. Driver Morgan today was the chief mourner. “Why, that dog went through all the degrees in the Negro Masonic Lodge with me,” Morgan saidl “You can put in his obituary that he was a member of my lodge, the Shrine and Scottish Rite.”

Officer Lemmon of the Big Four Railroad police, found the bandages and some scraps of bread and cake in a freight'car in the Big Four yards at S. Sherman Dr. Sunday. Miller’s slayers were seen/about the northwest section of the city several times the day following the slaying. On the night of the murder the Big Four crossing watchman at Massachusetts Ave. and Rural St. gave two men, one of them wounded, some bandages. The men left in the direction of the Belt Railroad. The car in which the bandages were found Sunday was being switched around the Belt railroad tracks about this time. It was shipped to Morgantown, Ind., on the Illinois Central Railroad Aug. 2 and was returned here Sunday. It is thought possible the slayers of Miller might have hidden in the car for several days until the wound of the man shot by the policeman was healed.
