(Palladium HpetUt) Greensfork, Ind., Nov. 30.A ml, understanding of train signals' or a disregard for those displayed Is said to have been the cause for the rear end collision of Pennsylvania freight train No. 17, with local freight No. 71 at Greensfork on Wednesday morning boat 7:30 o'clock. Box cars were piled right and left, the old station to the north of the track was shoved , from Its foundation by a box car and the new depot was struck by a flying coal car and almost demolished. The engine to train No. 87 was quickly converted into Junk when it attempt, ed to run through tbo entire local train. , . , " Serious as was the wreck, it was a fortunate one in that no one was Injured, except a brakeman on train No. 71, who did not Jump In time. He sua- . talned a"rht bruises which . will not prove serttus. Crews on both trains the station agent at Greensfork and others who were working unloading , train No. 71, Jumped out 6f harm's way when they saw a collision was Inevitable. : 1 . . Given V Bad Fright. 1 Perhaps Greensfork residents have Cover been more badly frightened Pan this morning by the noise of the - smtllz?K.ct tie iwotralns.; Tn the eld dapot tdtUlng were fourmen'at rtrt who knew nothing of their dantc? c::3 Oa eras came and the build3 wag shoved from Its foundation, b part of It being demolished. They were thrown to the floor but uninjured. The tracks were blockaded for several hours. According to the best information the local freight had been In Greensfork for some Ume and the station agent Charles Cummlngs and the train crew were unloading freight. Engineer Ed Manford of train No. 87, In approaching Greensfork from the east caught the signal as white, denoting a clear track. The station agent, it is said, declares a green block waa displayed, which meant the track was not clear. Train No. 87 approached at its usual speed around the curve which la on a down grade. ' The weight of the train together with the unfavorable grade, made it impossible for Manford to apply suf ficient ala. to stop the train. After sounding his warning, reversing his engine and otherwise endeavoring to halt the train, Manford and bis fireman. Thomas Roche, Jumped. The crew of the local and others in the box car unloading freight made a hasty exit and all but the one brakeman se cured placea of safety when tho colclsloa came. The wrecking crews were on the scene an hour after the wreck endeavoring to clear up ' the track sufficiently to admit passenger train j to pass. t CARS JUMPED TRACK.. Centerville, Ind, Nor. 30.

The car waa run perhaps thirty feet before the state of affairs waa discovered. It required two hours to get the car back on the tracks properly.

(American News Service) " l, New York, Nov. 30.--In the organization of-the Equality, league,. Gotham foresees the evolution ' of "a v. unique movement to force husbands to divide half 'of 1 whatrthey earnV withttheir "... wives each week. Ways and means of carrying out the project are being devised by a special committee which seeks to place its married women on the basis . of ; employes of - their husbands and as such entitled to compensation for their work in keeping the home together and providing for their domestic comfort Judging from the land office business being done, these days by the domestic relations court, which acta as arbiter between inharmonious couples and compels insurgent hubbies to provide adequate support for' their wives, the league has assumed a big task. The' plan Is an adaptation of a suggestion made recently by the wife of Victor Berger, the Milwaukee Socialist leader elected to congress on November 8. that there should be economic, as well as social and political ' equality between - husband and wife. To the apostles of the new movement the intimation that they 'are parasites and dependent on their husbands for support is rather Jarring. It la time, they think, that husbands should, take this view of it and recognise that their wives perform a service as important as they do and are entitled to as much consideration. , When the members get down to caaea and undertake to put into practice what, they preach it will be Interesting to note how the fur flies. ,

Time of Session of House of

Governors Was Reduced at a Session which Was Held at Louisville. ALL SPEECHES ARE TO BE ELIMINATED Several Secret ' Conferences Have Been Held and Poli tics Is Being Played Very Hard and Fast. (American News Srvlce . Louisville, Ky., Nov. SO. The conference of governors today decided to "educe the Ume of the meeting from 9ve to three days and to eliminate all speeches and debates on the question f consUtutional ' amendments providing for an income tax and the election of senators -by popular, vote. . The governors held a number of secret conferences after which many of hem talked guardedly of national poitical , probabilities. , " " Governor Shafroth ; of. Colorado, a democrat, admitted that the governrs had discussed the availability of '912 presidential timber. "We discussed Governors Harmon, Wilson and Dix, and Mayor Gaynor of New York, too," declared Governor Shafroth. "There are no. more able nen in the country than those I have just mentioned but it is too early now to begin casting about for nominees. The proper men will be selected at he right time." Harmon Not Talking. Governor Harmon, who received an ovation every time he appeared In ;ublic, said he was averse to forecaat"ng the national political events of the iext two years. "You can't give the people too iriucn. ower for me," said he.' .In the last analysis you can always depend anon ffce people to do -the right , thing and ote tne-ngot way. - -- - Many of' tBe: expressions from the Governors concentrated upon the sub jects of greater power for the people 'nd more 'Stringent control of corpor ations.

(American If ews 8ervlce " New York, Nov. 30. Representative Richmond P. Hobson, hero of the Merrimac Incident at Santiago in the Spanish war, has enlisted in the army organized to fight old King Barleycorn. He told the Society of Patriotic Women of America during a. convention, at the Waldorf-Astoria, that he would much prefer to stand up and allow a hundred cannon balls.to.be. burjed at him than one ball familiarly known as the luring: cocktail with Its art of making: Jags. The captain declared that he had been engaged In many naval engagements during his HfeUme; and he had figured out that there are five Umes as - many persons killed ' every year by reason of the, merry cocktail and the highball than have fallen in all of the wars of many hundred years. He pointed out that King Barley-corn has a cut-and dried system "of going after his vicUma.", Having- given them the habit called "tangle-foot," he pro ceeds, to pave the. way for the blight of degeneracy to. creep into the brain of the cocktail and high-ban drinker. The captain says that these two baneful beverages. chase up the white corpuscles In the blood, and leave them in such an .inebriated 'condition that the lungs, stomach,' kidneys and other utensils of. the human body throw open their doors Tand allow all sorts of diseases to stalk In.. "When all's said and done," observed the former naval captain, who has been keeping- close tab on TDemoa Bum-, for some years, "there; Is nothing to: the booze game. It chokes the carbureter of the human engine and sooner or later cuts off the steam gauge. Altogether,' it's a ' losing proposition from the start, and the I fellow . who keeps it up digs his own grave.
