WRECK OCCURS ON CURVE
TODAY THE BODY OF ENGINEER YATES WAS STILL BURIED UNDER HIS ENGINE WOMEN ACT '.IKE HEROINES. American New Service! Atlanta, Ga.; Feb. 13 A misreading of orders was today declared to have been the cause of the Georgia South ern and Florida It: It.' wreck nineteen miles below Macon yesterday evening, in which five persons were Instantly killed and eight seriously injured. The crew of train No. 2 is said to have mistaken orders to meet train No. 5 at Bonair, resulting in the collision. The dead are W. J. Yates, engineer of No. 5; Flagman A. R. Johnson, Macon; Conductor I. 3. Ingalls, Macon; Conductor Dufree, Kathleen. Ga.; traveling as passenger, unidentified white man. Wreck Cleared Today. Wrecking crews today succeeded In clearing the track to a large extent. Both the engines were demolished and the mail and baggage cars and two day coaches were splintered, in the smash. The scene of the wreck on a curve by Dismal Swamp, added to its seriousness. The body of Engineer Yates was still burled beneath his engine today. The women passengers on both trains today were hailed as heroines. Through several hours before the rescue train reached the scene they worked courageously aiding in the rescue and establishing an emergency nursing corps. When the hospital train left with, the dead and Injured for Macon late at night the accompanied the victims, continuing their ministrations. m IIOWOEPEUDEIIT "Most Expensive Pauper Family" Leaves Cur as a Reminder. ITS FUTURE VERY GLOOMY Doggie, the little cur which was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shoop and which they refused to part with several weeks ago, having a preference for it Instead of a little girl, by the name of Vernace Ruth French, is the only member of the family now dependent on local charity, and it Is very probable that the dog will be allowed to shift for itself until it finds a happy home. An effort was made by Mrs. Shoop who left for Harrison, Ohio, today, to take the dog with her. but the interurban people remonstrated. Consequently the dog was given a fond farewell by Its mistress and turned loose on the world. Mrs. Shoop's departure this morning was not a matter of public regret. The unfriendliness of the Shoops toward water has been mentioned several times. It would be logical to be lieve that In departing on a long jour ney, the Shoops' would at least clean up a little bit. However, Mrs. Shoop's toilet this morning must have been coal soot, attractively arranged In long streaks on her face. Her appear ance was more grotesque than ordin arlly. LITTLE IIIIIA LOST All Hope of Finding Naval Tug Has About Been Abandoned. A RECALL FOR SEARCHERS (American News Service) Boston, Feb. 15. The government today took the first step in abandoning the search for the naval tug Nina, missing ten days. All belief that the little craft may yet be afloat, or that her thirty-two men are alive, has practically been given up. The speedy recall of the vessels remaining on the detail was expected today after the revenue cutter Gresham was taken from her cruise for the Nina and detailed to hunt down a derelict. In naval circles there remained no vestige of optimism today regarding the Nina. The menace to navigation which the Gresham is ordered to destroy lies in the path of shipping in Massachusetts bay. The derelict is a capsized two-masted schooner, and the belief of mariners is that her crew went to the bottom when she capsiied in the snow storm and gale. A DECREE IS GIVEN. A decree in favor of Eliza Alice Hill who was plaintiff in a quiet title pro ceedings against James Gillespie and others wrs rendered this morning up on the default of the defendants.

Actor Coq.uelin, who plays the dog in Edmond Rostand's drama "Chanteclerfi" and the method he had to take to reach the theater to attend rehearsals during the recent floods in Paris. From Coquelin's doorsteps to the theater entrance the streets were veritable Venetian canals and boatmen reaped a harvest rowing those, who must of necessity make trips, over the submerged pavements.
Fresh Fodder Big Jack Powell of the St. Louis Browns is in training at Hot Springs. The former lankee declares he has been on the "water wagon" for three months now and is out to set a good example to Rube Waddell and Larry McLean. , The Boston Red Sox will have extra men for every position on the field. John I. Taylor has ordered Patsy Donovan to thoroughly look over everything on the roster and not to cut down to the minimum, till necessary. Joe McGinnity, the Ncward magnate-pitcher, who was- about the best twirler in the Eastern league last summer, is keeping his arm in shape by pitching winter baseball in Oklahoma. The Tron Man has signed three Oklahomans for his Indians. Chick Brandon, the young Pirate pitcher who featured in the American Association as a rival of Rube Marquard, will have to submit to an operation. One oi his toes is crooked. and this interferes with his work in the box. Recently the bad toe was jammed, and Brandon thinks it's about time to get rid of the hoodoo. Pittsburg Is a good illustration of the fact that a winner gets results. Al ready all the boxes of Forbes Field have been disposed of for the coming season. And prices are higher in the steel town than elsewhere. Elmer Flick, a few seasons ago one of the greatest outfielders in the American league, has fully recovered his health. He now weighs 180 pounds. Flick has been out of the game for practically two years. He thinks, however, that he is as good as new and has asked McGuire to send him south with the first batch of raw recruits. Miner Brown says he isn't a holdout. He just wishes Murphy to see his figures. He thinks there will be nothing to it after Chance has a talk with the chubby one. Joe Tinker is making a great hit in his vaudeville sketch. The Cub short stop is barnstorming throughout Indiana, and Illinois, where the fans consider themselves suburbanites of the windy town. Seldom has a league president been afforded such a rousing farewell as that extended Tom Chivineton. the new executive of the American Asso- ' ciation. in Louisville, Ky.; his home town, the other night. Every one of any consequence was there with the glad hand. Chivington got enough presents to fill his new Chicago offices. Jiggs Donohue has named his Chicago semi-pro club the Red Sox. As Anson's Colts, the team never set the world afire. Jiggs is trying to shake the Cap's hoodoo. The White Sox have just corralled a slugging pitcher in Holm from Spokane of the Northwestern league. He pitched thirty-nine games last year, of which he won twenty-five. He hit for .300. Good players may do about as they please. George Mullin, champion pitcher of the American league, is playing basketball at Wabash, Ind.. In diTect violation of President Nevin's orders. But the owner of the Tigers will be there with the glad hand before the end of the month. Dick Carroll, the big Yankee recruit

New York Schoolboy Ice Skater Hat Making of Champion. If Larry Barnett, the crack schoolboy Ice skater of New York, keeps on Improving there Is little doubt that he will make all the fast knights of the steel blade In this country look to their laurels should he decide to compete in the big amateur events next season. Last year he outdistanced all . his schoolboy rivals in Greater New York and established several new records. This year be has been duplicating his performances of last season.

The recent feat was the more remarkable because the ice was in poor shape, and he was handicapped by a large 6eld that made it necessary to use the best of judgment la working his way to the front. He Judged his race so closely that it was only on the last lap of the eight that he overtook and passed the leaders and won easily. SPORTS IN BRIEF George Bonhag. tba crack sprinter, is a vegetarian.
