    1 Dead. 6 Hurt
in Train Wreek
Bolts Removed From Rails
Ditch Sunset Limited
iD Arizona.
San Francisco. Cal., Sept. 9.—One
trainman was killed, another se
riously Injured and five passengers
less (seriously hurt early today when
the eastbound Sunset Limited on the
Southern Pacific was derailed near
Marieopn, Ariz., according to a re
port received at the headquarters of
the railroad here today.
There was evidence that an at
tempt had been made to tamper with
the railp, causing the wreck. An in
\estigation revealed that the nuts had
been removed from at least three
bolts holding the rail at the point
where the wreck occurred.
Fireman G. Ward was killed and
Conductor Anderson, who was "dead
heading" In the baggage car, was se
riously Injured. Names of the In
jured passengers had not been re
ceived.
The Injured and all other passenger?
were taken to Maricopa soon after
the wreck occurred and there trans
ferred to the Golden State Idmlted,
which was following.
The train was running at n speed
of nbout 45 miles an hour when the
tampered section of rail was struck.
Despite this speed, the train of 10
cars was stctped within five car
lengths.
The engine, mail car, baggage car
and a tourist sleeper left the tracks
and three Pullman cars left the rails,
but remained on the ties.
The train was In charge of Engi
neer E. Shelley and Conductor J.
Omar. It was proceeding, according
to the reports, at its usual speed at
that point.
An Investigation was Immediately
started to determine the cause of the
derailment and the tampered section
of rail discovered. Officers were ex
pected on the scene early today to
search for the persons responsible
and to determine. If possible, the mo
tive for wrecking the crack passenger
train.
Japan in Need
of Emigration
Nation Must Have Outlet for
Surplus Population,
Shidehara Says.
By Anaorlatrd Prtu,.
Tokio, Sept. 9.—Foreign Minister
Shidehara, speaking before the open
ing session of the imperial emigra
tion commission of which he Is chair
man, today laid emphasis on the "pres
ent situation," adding that it necessi
tated the creation of such a body.
The foreign minister stressed the
fact that the population of Japan was
growing from 600,000 to 700,000 annu
ally, and that, while emigration fur
ntshed an outlet for only a small part
of this numlter, nevertheless It was
necessary for Japan to seek the best
available outlets.
Mower, the foreign minister added,
care should be taken that Japan’s
emigration policy should not Jeopard
lse Its relations with other powers.

Today
Defense Day.
Flying Home.
Pity a Sad “Aristocrat
“Coolidge” Says Hays.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
V ---'
Clergymen express different
opinions about Defense day. The
Rev. Dr. Harris disapproving, says,
“You cannot outlaw war and flirt
with it.” He means that if you
are against war, you must not pre
pare for war.
That's not sound. You outlaw
burglary, and yet keep your po
lice ready to handle burglars when
they appear.
Thus much is sure about Defense
day. Clergymen and others may
be uncertain about it now, but they
wouldn’t be in the least, uncertain
if war should break out.
In New York City at 3:20 p. m.,
daylight saving time,- yesterday,
along came three magnificent flying
machines, far up above the sky
scrapers, sailing home.
The flight around the world is
over, and six young Americans will
live in history when everybody con
nected with this presidential cam
paign, even La Follette, is com
pletely forgotten.
History will forever record, if
only in two lines, the dates and
names connected with the first
human flight around the world.
Birds did it long ago, but they
are only birds.
That the nation which invented
the flying machine, should be the
first nation to send a flying ma
chine around the world seems ap
propriate. More appropriate would
be adequate flying machine defense
for this country.
Mr. Grenville Winthrop, pleas
antly described by the social re
porter as a “wealthy, retired,
banker, philanthropist, and aristo
crat,” is under the care of two
doctors. His two daughters eloped,
one with a chauffeur, the other
with a young electrician.
For a “retired aristocrat” to re
ceive such a blow is painful, but
in his sorrow there is warning and
comfort for other wealthy, retired
American aristocrats.
One of his daughters was 81
years of age; she and her sister,
24, had been kept secluded.
Beware how you keep daughters
too secluded, especially after 30,
and more especially if they are
rich, in their own right, aa are
these two young women.
That’s the warning.
The comfort is this: The
Winthrop family, to which the “re
tired aristocrat” belongs, may find
itself improved, its energies in
creased and its life on earth pro
longed by the addition of a chauf
feur and an electrician to the fam
ily lineage.
After the first wild burst of
grief, the annoyed aristocratic
father should look up the life of
William the Conqueror. His mother
was washing clothes in a brook
when the duke of Normandy first
saw her. The duke later married
her.
Or the aristocrat may comfort
himself with the history of Leon
ardo Da Vinci. His mother, an
ignorant peasant girl, never mar
ried Leonardo’s father. Her son
is the only one in that family that
ever amounted to anything. One
of his pictures would sell easily for
$2,000,000 today. There should
be comfort in that even for aristoc
racy.
Will Hays, who bossed Hard
ing's campaign, was postmaster
general, and now runs the moving
picture industry, was explaining
politics yesterday to Lady Diana
Manners and Mrs. W. R. Hearst.
He said that if he ever bet, which
he never does, he would bet “any
thing I could afford to lose” that
Coolidge will be elected without
any throwing of the election into
the house. When it come* to
politics, Hays is a good judge.
You will know this morning
something about the election in
Maine. Bear in mind that what
counts, as an indication of the pres
idential vote, is the election of the
senator. The fight for the Maine
governorship is local, it may go any
way. The senatorship vote will
show how the state will stand in
the national campaign.
Tomorrow, reading from sheets
of ruled manila paper about 1,000
words, Judge Caverly will tell the
world and the two Chicago mur
derers what is to be done with
these young men.
Latest news from the prison de
scribes Loeb as lamenting his fate
to a girl who called upon him and
said:
"You are just plain stupid. I
would never have believed it of
you.”
Loeb is supposed to have said
that he wished other girls had made
him feel stupid instead of making
him feel "devilish” as they did.
That’s a familiar cry. Whatever
men do women are blamed. Ask
your Mother Eve.
"Manchurian hordes are march
ing on Pekin.” That’s another cry
from the past. Through the cen
turies different hordes have
marched against that flowery "mid
dle kingdom.”
Newcomers ruled, peace and
luxury undermined them, other
hordes came in to take their places.
The giant wall did not keep them
out. although men had not learned
to fly.

—Grandfather Frog.
What Grandfather Frog Was Swal
lowing.
It was a very personal question
that Peter Rabbit had asked Grand
father Fro*. That was why Peter
had hesitated to ask it. Grandfather
Fro* had kept swallowing and swal
lowing and swallowing as if he were
swallowing food, yet Peter hadn't
seen him take any food Into hts
mouth, and Grandfather Frog hadn't
talked as If he had anything In his
mouth.
For a long minute Grandfather
Frog stared at Peter Rabbit with a
funny, puzzled look In his big, goggly
eyes after Peter asked him if he was
still swallowing hia breakfast. "Chug

"I don’t see anytliing funny about
it," retorted Grandfather Frog.
arum!” said he at last. "Chug-arum!
Of course I'm not swallowing my
breakfast. I swallowed that long ago,
and could eat another right now."
"Then what are you swallowing?”
persisted Peter, for Grandfather Frog
had swallowed once or twice even
while he was speaking.
"Air," replied Grandfather Frog
gruffly.
• Air:'* cried Peter. "Air! What un
der the aun are you swallowing air
for?"
"If I didn't swallow it how do you
think I could stay here out of water?
demanded Grandfather Frog. "How
long do you think you would live
without air?”
"But X don’t swallow air,” protest
ed Peter. "I breathe it. I take It
in through my noise. I don't swallow
it. I never heard of such a thing as
swallowing air."
Grandfather Frog looked up at
Peter and swallowed. He swallowed
again before he opened his big mouth
and spoke. "You’ve known me a
long time, haven't you, Peter?” said
he.
Peter nodded. "Almost as long as
I can remember," he replied.
"Yet this is the first time you have
noticed me swallowing air. My, my.
my, how little some people see”’ said
Grandfather Frog. “I’ve swallowed
air ever since I was big enough to
leave the water. If I didn’t swallow
it how ever would I get It to my
lungs?”
“Why, I should suppose you would
get It there the same way I get It to
my lungs. I draw It in through my
nose and It goes right Into my lungs
Don't you draw it in through your
nose?” Peter asked.
“Certainly," replied Grandfather
Frog. "But when I take It In through
my nose it cornea down into the for
ward part of my mouth, and I have to
swallow it so as to get It down where
it can go into my lungs.” He swal
lowed again as he spoke.
"Oh!” exclaimed Peter. “Isn't It
funny?”
“I don't see anything funny about
It," retorted Grandfather Frog.
