CAR JUMPED TRACKS AND BROKE POLE

A miraculous escape from serious injury wag experienced by about twenty passengers on the west-bound limited interurban -which left the station here at 11:40 o'clock this morning, when the rear trucks Jumped the track at the foot of the Main street hill, at Fifth street. The rear end of the car was thrown to the south, striking a fifty-foot telephone pole, carrying long distance cables and wires of the city light plant. Tht pole was cut off even with the ground. , In all probability If the rear end of the car had not struck the curbing and the pole, the car would bare werved completely around and would have tumbled down the river bank. The passengers in the car were all thrown from their seats although none was injured. The cause of the odd accident, it is said, was a railroad tie spike, which had either been placed upon the track 'by some person with malicious intentions, or hadxbeen carelessly dropped on the track. ) One singular fact about the accident was that the front tracks of the Interurban passed over the epike, but remained on the rails. The car was in charge of Charles I Bayers, motorman, and William Dudilng, conductor. It is said that it was not exceeding the speed limit The car was not damaged in the least by its collision with the street curbing and !the pole. For some time traffic along the West Main street car line was comjpletely tied up and passengers were obliged to transfer from one interur- ' ban to another at the place of the accident. The car was placed back on the track about 1:45 o'clock. Wires of the city light plant and the telephone company attached to the broken pole were tangled and it will not be until late this afternoon until the wires are straightened out.

F. W.HOBBS ASSAILS T. R.,SPRjfiC!PALS Cotton Manufacturer Sharply Criticises Roosevelt's Views.

(National News Association) BOSTON, April 24. Sharp criticism of the political principles of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, although the former president was not mentioned by name fell from the lips of Franklin W. Hobbs, president of the national association of cotton manufacturers in the the National convention of the association in Mechanics hall. Toward the end of his address the association's president said: "We may well pause a moment to consider some phases of the way in which radicalism has swept over the country, in fact I may say over the world for it does not seem to be limited to any country or people. In our own country there has been so much talk and so much denunciation of the established order of things that one naturally begins to wonder that if after all this nation and Its form of government are failures. "So much has been said about the 'rule of the people' that we are almost led to believe our rights have been taken away from us. It is claimed that we need new laws, new methods and a general over-turning of old customs. It seems to me, however, that we do not need new laws nor more laws, we do not need new methods nor quicker methods of making laws, but that we do need greater respect for the laws already existing and a firmer belief in the law and order itself. "It is now claimed by some that th-3 people can never do wrong, and that their opinion, often expressed under stress of excitement or swayed by the misrepresentations of demagogues shall prevail regardless of law and that if the courts decide that such an expression is Illegal, so much the worse for the courts, for it is now proposed to make the decisions of the courts themselves amenable to popular clamor. If such things come to pass, of what value are the principles of justice embodied In our common laws for the protection of all and why have a written constitution sacredly agreed to by the representatives of all the people in order to safeguard the rights of the minority as well as the rights of those temporarily in the majority. "It seems clear to me that as a result of this talk, criticisms and denun ciation on the part of politicians and t demagogues there has followed quite i naturally a growth of socialistic ideas j and socialism throughout the country. The agitators have shown discontent and dissatisfaction and the country Is reaping socialism and anarchy. I believe it our duty to take heed and to do our part to lead the people back to their old moorings and to see that care Is restored in the leaders. When that has been done we shall have Industrial and political peace and prosperity will be with us as before." BE LOVABLE. Let your task be to render yourself worthy of love, and this even more for your own happiness than for that of another's. Maeterlinck. rmrTriT:F m.mm ill r.--'i- ' in 9f

RETURNS TO FACE A SERJ0US CHARGE Millionaire Beach Alleged to Have Slashed Wife's Throat.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, April 24. Declaring that he was ready and willing to face the charge that he slashed his wife in the throat at their winter home in Aiken, S. C, on February 26 last, Frederick O. Beach arrived in New York today on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. .Mrs. Beach was with him. She was standing stanchly by her husband in the famous case. When newspaper men approached Mr. Beach on board the liner, he said, "I have decided to come back and face it." To all other questions he replied: "I cannot say anything further." Mrs. Beach declined to talk. It was not positively known here that the Beaches were on the liner until she docked. Numerous society persons, friends of the Beaches, were at the pier in Hoboken to greet them, extend their sympathy and offers of aid. Mr. and Mrs. Beach boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at Charbourg. They had been in Europe only a few days, having arrived in England on the Mauretania from New York on April 8 last, to find that a warrant had been issued in Aiken against "Beauty" Beach. They hastened to Paris, where Beach conferred with bis ohum, W. K. Vanderbilt, after which he sent the following cablegram to his attorneys in Aiken. "Authorize you to appear and sign bonds for our appearance. Am returning next week." Thomas Hitchcock, the New York turfman and sporting millionaire, went on the bond, offering his 150,000 home to cover the $1,000 demanded' by the state authorities. The next move by Mr. Beach was to board the Kaiser Wilhelm with his wife. The attack upon Mrs. Beach was the sensation of the exclusive winter colony at Aiken, S. C, last season.

10 North 7th Street

Mrs. Beach, who was noted for her beauty, was slashed with a knife while standing upon the lawn of her home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Beach declared that the assault had been committed by a negro, but on April 8. after Mr. ahd Mrs. Beach had returned north and sailed for Europe a warrant was issued for F. O. Beach, or "Beauty". Beach as his friends call him. charging him with attacking and slashing his wife. The warrant was sworn to by M. S. Baughan. a privato detective of Atlanta. In the meantime big rewards had been offered for the person who had committed the outrage. Five days after the warrant was sworn out, S. S. Henderson, of Aiken, attorney for Beach, received a cablegram from his client, saying that he would return at once to face the charge. R. L. Gunther, county prosecutor at Aiken, says the cawe will be pushed vigorously. The state's case rests chiefly upon a piece of physical evidence, a gold pocket knife belonging to Beach, upon which stains of human blood were alleged to have been found.
