Clearing of sidetracks at less important rail points and elimination of basic causes for delay and congestion was left for future consideration.

WAR PENSIONS WAIL ON RED TAPE AND ENGLISH "EFFICIENCY" By MARY HENKE. LONDON; May 7. Outside the war pension offices in London one sees a very obvious explanation of the present social and labor unrest. Every day there is a crowd of men waiting about these offices for admission. They are often middle-aged and always shabby and they 'have It in' for the government which fordes them to vait days before considering their claims to a pension for war injury.

10 INJURED AS CARS ON G. R. & I. TRAIN GO OFF OF TRACK

Four cars of Grand Rapids and Indiana passenger 'train No. 506 turned over near Somerville, Ohio, at 5:36 a. m. Saturday. The train was run ning about 60 miles an hour. Steel cars and good fortune probably prevented big loss of life, as the train was crowded. The following persons were injured: W. E. Dempsey, Richmond, backj strained. W. W. Keen, sanitary inspector of Richmond, bruised. J. R. Hale, Ft, Wayne, bruised. Grover Wellington, Covington, Ky., fractured wrist. Washington Sherman, Cincinnati, bruised. Paul Bersch, Eckles, W. Va., ankle sprained. C D. Fadler, West Alexandria, O., ankle sprained. Elizabeth Kerscb, Lawrenceburg, Ind.. left side strained. Jarvis Harris, Grand Rapids, cuts about face, head and hands. Damage is Heavy Damage to the cars of the wrecked train and to the right of way will run ( into thousands of dollars, officials! said. The train was composed of two j express cars, one ruuiuau, a, cgmui-1 nation steel smoker and baggage car, and a steel day car. Railroad officials believe that an! overloaded express car caused the J wreck. A heavy casting was in the leading car, and natural swaying caused by speed of the train is be-. lieved to have caused the car to leave ' the rails. This caused the second' express car ! to jump the track and roll over and ' over, practically demolishing it. The steel combination and day cars left the rails and slid along on their sides, causing the injuries. ! Wooden Car Stayed Up. By good fortune, the wooden Pull-1 man car did not turn over, alt hove ' one truck wa3 off the track. Had It turned over, a serious loss of life' probably would have resulted, say officials. Relief Train Is Sent The Richmond office was notified and a special train bearing medical aid was dispatched. Dr. Charles Map vel, of Richmond, was in charge. The injured were given first aid treatment at the wreck. Pennsylvania train No. 236 was following No. 506. It brought the injured to Richmond, arriving at 10 a. m. Approximately one quarter of a mile of track was torn up. The wrecking' crew did not expect to finish clearing tne deoris until late Saturday. Trains from Cincinnati came north as far as the wreck and then transferred passengers to waiting - trains from Richmond, and rice .versa; ' Passenger train No.. 217 , was forced to detour through Dayton to Richmond, however.

Ex-President Venustlano Carranza, of Mexico. Venustiano Carranza, elected President of Mexico, March 11. 1917, by the largest vote ever cast in a presidential election in his country, stepped from political obscurity to national and international prominence on the graves of the hopes of General Victoriano Huerta, the usurper, and his follow ers. Born of parents in comfortable cir cumstances in Cuatro Cienagas, State of Coahuila, December 29, 1859, Venustiano Carranza was educated in the public schools of his native state and later studied law at the Mexican capitol. Affection of the eyes pre vented him from practising and he returned to his native state to become a rancher, then a judge, senator and finally governor of Coahuila. Having defied Huerta, Carranza ral lied a small band of 600 followers which grew into a sizeable army when he won the support of Francisco Villa. Carranza was pressing Huerta hard when the A. B. C. conference to disuss the differences between the United States and Huerta was called in Buffalo. Huerta resigned the pro visional presidency July 15, 1914, and a month later General Carranza made his triumphal entry into Mexico City. Shortly afterward independent revolutionists led by Zapata, General Pascual Orozco and others commenced. Dissension between Villa and Carranza, which began at the Torreon conference, reached a climax September 23, 1914, when Villa declared war on Carranza. General Alvaro Obregon became Carranza's leading general. Stood Up for Mexico. In the diplomatic exchanges that enrued between President Wilson and Carranza, who had been officially recognized as the head of the de facto government by the United States in October, 1915, he insisted on the respect by the United States of Mexico's sovereignty, and th& concession to his government of reciprocal rights of Invasion. He maintained his position despite the crisis. In the meantime Carranza had called a Constitutional Congress, which accepted most of the reforms he outlined. On March 11, 1917, he was elected President. More than 1,500,000 votes were cast for him. He took the oath of office May 1, 1917. General Carranza was married and formerly lived in Saltillo. One of his daughters. Miss Virginia Carranza, became the wife of General Candido Aguilar.

He belonged to forces commanded by General Francisco de P. Mariel, who accompanied Carranza in his flight from this city, but who last week deserted Carranza and joined the revolutionists. May Have Been Guard. Th'ere is some uncertainty regarding the exact affiliation of General Herrera. It is generally believed possible, however, that he commanded a small guard which was with he fleeing president. He was in rebilllon against Carranza for several years centering his operations in the state of Puebla. He surrendered last March to General Mariel. who was in command of government forces in that state. When General Mariel went over to the revolutionists last week, a portion of his troops, it is known, remained loyat to the president and belief exists that Carranza might have taken along with him in his flight toward Tuxpan. Herrera g forces which finally turned against him. Tlaxcalantonge is a small village in the vicinity of Huauchinango, in the northern "panhandle," of the state of Puebla. It is approximately 83 miles from San Andreas, where Carranza left his forces and took refuge in the mountains. The official announcement was given at 10:30 o'clock tonight, from the headquarters of "General Alvaro Obregon.

Party Included Officials No mention is made of the others in the party which it is believed include Luis Cabrera, minister of the treasury; Alfonso Cabrera, his brother, governor of Puebla, and General Francisco Murguia, who acted as commander of the Carranza troops after the president had fled from this city. Orders have been given that a train be taken to Berista, in the nearest railway point to Tlaxcalaltongo to receive the bodies of those killed in the encounter in which President Carranza lost his life. HAVANA, May 22 Luis Cabrera, minister of the Mexican treasury department; Ygnacio Bonillas, former Mexican ambassador at Washington, and reputed to be the favored candidate for president of Mexico, and all other members of the Carranza cabinet, accompanied President Carranza in his flight to the mountains of Puebla, according to Mexican newspapers received in this city yesterday. WASHINGTON. May 22. No report on the death of Carranza had come today from the American embassy in Mexico City, and the Associated Press dispatches were the only information before the government here. If Carranza has been killed the manner of his death may inject an unlooked for element into the question of recognition of the new government in Mexico.
