Washington; Pec. 31. Thirty-eight persons were killed and fifty inured in ft collision on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Terra Cotta. a station about three miles from Washington. A "deadhead" train ran into the Frederick local. Three cars of the local -were completely demolished. The cause of the wreck is said to have been that the telegraph operator at Silver Springs let two trains in on one block. The engineer of the Frederick train has been arrested. C W. Galloway, superintendent of transportation of the Baltimore and Ohio, stated that it was impossible yet to determine the cause of the wreck. "Most Modern Block System." He said: "We have on this division the most modern block system. Just what occurred we are unable at this hour to say; because of the confusion incident to the collision and of the caring for the dead and injured we have bfien unable to consider the causes. We have not yet interrogated the operators, and until we do so we cannot be certain what the situation was. We shall institute immediately an inquiry into the causes of the collision. Occurred la a Dense Fog. The dead bodies were found lying beside the track for a considerable distance. The wreck occurred at C:C0 p. ni. A dense fog was prevailing and made objects perceptible but a few fet ahead. Those passengers in the forward coach, who were but slishtlv

bruised, hoard the groans of the dying and wounded and did what they could to give aid. District Attorney I. W. linker, despite his heel being cut off, walked the one and a quarter miles to Brn;ikland and brought the first news of the wreck. He was completely exhausted, and after medical treatment was sent to this city in an automobile.

years ago, when a large number of government clerks were killed by tha collapse of a portion, of the building, has produced such a shock here as this disaster. No railroad accadent within a great many years in the District of Columbia has approached it in magnitude. A dense fog and a drizzUng rain prevailed, throughout the day, and to the inability of the engineer of the rear train to see the signal showing that another train was In the block is attributed the cause of the accident. The Frederick train, which is run on Sunday only. Is largely for the accommodation of those who have gone to the suburbs on Sunday, and for the benefit of church goers who desire to attend services in Washington at night, and presumably a number of the latter was on the train. It leaves Frederick at five minutes past four in the afternoon and is scheduled to reach Terra Cotta about 6:15 p, m. It has been proved that the danger signal at Takoma Park, a short distance from the scene of the accident, was set when the train of empties or "deadhead" passed. The train was going at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and Engineer Nildebrandt stated. that on account of the heavy fog he could not see the signal. His train ran into the Frederick train just as it was pulling out of Terra Cotta. where it had stopped to take on four or rive passengers, two of whom were among the killed. ,

B0THERS KOT IN HARMONY

Voliva Denounced at a Dowieite Meeting Like a Base Ball Kmpire at a Hot Game. Chicago, Dee. 31. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, general overseer of Zron City, was denounced as "Judas Iscariot," "devil," and "robber" by followers of John Alexander Dowie during a meeting trended by 2.W0 persons in Zion Tabernacle here. The first interruption occurred when Voliva made a sarcastic allusion to Dowie. "Shut up," ordered a Dowicite in the audience. "You're only a dog." Two ushers seized the accuser by the throat in an effort to stifle his voice. Gurgling through the hands cla-sied over his mouth, the disturber continued, "Don't you mention John Alex

ander Do-wie's name ajrain, you Judas

Iscariot, for he picked you out and made half a man of you the rest Is devil."

Soon after he was silenced another

outburst followed Voliva's declaration that he would distribute pamphlets

exiKslng the various Masonic oaths.

A. third dramatic situation occurred

when Voliva walked to the front of

the platform and asked one of the fol

lowers of Dowie to shako his hand. The latter refused,- declaring that he would not shake hands with the

devil.
