ROME; Aug. U. Just a week haa elapaed
since the election of-PIub X. and he haa
been already overcome by tha unaccus

morning he fainted while at masa. Hla
collapse Is considered to be due to heart
weakness aggravated, by fatigue. It con:
etltutes the first' vletery of hla entourage.
Even though he disappointed aome people,
they urge him not to concede audiences to
sjl comers and to render himself leaa ac
cessible. Dr. LaponnJ recommended the
pope to take a complete rest. He haa or
dered all audiences postponed.
' The pope,, however, cannot understand
(he necessity of sparing himself and aaid
to Dr. Laponnl: "rim stronger. than Pope
Leo. Why should not I do what he did?"
It waa explained to him that Lto when
elected began by taking a fortnight's per
feet rest, and thereafter gradually trained
himself to his new duties. Moreover, Leo
did not need exercise In the fresh air which
eh ordinarily healthy man does.
Soon Restored to Normal Condition.
At noon Pope Plus waa reported to ba

Authorities Find Ample Evidence of Terri
ble Underground Straggle. . .
NGINEER IGNORES WARNING GIVEN
Declares He Caa Make Next Station
Even After Plre Is Dlaearered
ad So Precipitates
Tragedy.
PARIS, Aug. ll.-Elghty-four bodies have
now been recovered from the underground
railway tunnel and the death list from the
accident probably will exceed 100.
The scenes at the mouth of the tunnel
where the vlctlme were brouaht forth were
of the most heartrending description
crowds of weeping men, women and chil
dren struggling forward In an effort to
recognise their missing relatives and
friends. Most of the victims are from the
middle and working classes, as the trains
were carrying them home from their work.
Although the accident occurred at $
o'clock last evening, the officials and fire
men were unable until early thla morning
to descend Into the tunnel, owlnr to the
blinding clouds of smoke from the burning
train. Frequent attempts were made by
volunteers, whom It was necessary to res
cue, half-suffocated, and they were carried
away to the hospitals.
' Describes Scene' in Tunnel.
At ten minutes after t o'clock Sergeant
Ahernft, wearing a respirator, succeeded In
making the descent. He remained seven
minutes and brought the flrat Information
to the effect that corpses were strewn all
about the roadway of the tunnel. Then he
coUapaed and waa taken to the hospital.
Twenty minutes later firemen forced their
way down through tha tunnel station at
Menllmontant and returned soon afterward
with aeven bodies, two men, two boys and
three women. These persons had been as
phyxiated, aa their positions showed they
had been groping through tha smoke that
filled the tunnel, seeking a way to escape
when they were overcome.
The work of bringing up the bodies went
on steadily after that under the personal
direction of Prefect of Police Leptne, who
summoned a large reserve force to hold
back the surging crowd. Including the rela
tlves of the victims.
Long lines of ambulances were brought
Into requisition and the bodies were carried
to the morgue. After daylight the crowd
around tha entrance of the tunnel Increased
to enormous proportions, obliging the police
to form a solid cordon, through which they

admitted only those eeeklng to Identify
their relatives among ths victims. The fall
ure of many men, women and children to
return home during the tight gave many
the flrat news of the disaster. Fathera and
mothers came hurrying to the mouths of
the tunnel to try to find their absent ones.
At the second descent the firemen found
a great number of bodlea massed near
the ticket office of the station, where many
had evidently become overcome while eeek
lng tickets. They had been surprised by
the columns of smoke and had sought to
run back up .the etone stairway leau.g
to the street. A struggle had enauet., and
some escaped, but the others had been
trampled on. One woman had ifled within
the ticket office, where her body was found.
The ticket seller herself Succeeded) In es
caping.
At the station of Les Charonnes the same
scenes of death and despair had been
enacted. The accident occurred midway
between the etatlona of , Menllmontant and
Lea unaronnes, so mat Tne"worx or sal
vsge proceeded - from both 'ends of the
tunnel. Jn addition to the blinding smoke
the tunnel belched forth a terrific heat, as
one of the cars was burning within.
-One .fireman sucoeeded In throwing sev
eral streams of water In the direction of
the wreck, while some firemen and mili
tary engineers, at great haxard. pushed
on Inside the tunnel. They brought out two
bodies, and soon afterward three more.
The latter were laborers who had a'lmost
succeeded In reaching the exit when they
were overcome and suffocated. Further on
the fireman stumbled upon a terrible mass
of bodies. These were the passengers of
the burned train.
Suffocated by the Smoke.
They had leaped from the coaches, when
the fire broke out, and, groping through
the suffocating clouds of smoke, sought the
exit at Les Charonnes street station, but
the tunnel makes a sharp turn near the
rcene of the disaster, and at the angle the
entire maas of humanity, apparently, be
came tightly wedged. The panic which
took place at this point in the dark sub
terrannean paasage must have been terri
ble. The corpaes from this death angle soon
swelled the Hat until, at 6:16 a. m.. Prefect
Leplne placed the number of victims at
forty-five already recovered, while the
steady file of firemen bringing up bodiee
continued.
M. Lepine summoned a large force of doc
tors and municipal officials who superin
tended the removal of the bodies. The
number of corpses brought up from the
angle where the mass waa wedged was so
lam that four and slant oodles were
placed In each ambulance. Many of the
victims had handkerchiefs stuffed In their
mouths, they having evidently tried to
keep out the asphyxiating smoke. The
faces of the dead had congealed. Borne
women held their children lifeless In their
arms.
Identify Their Lovett Ones.
As the firemen brought out the bodies
sgonlslng cries went up from women and
children 1 who recognised their dead hus
bands, and fathers. The clothing - of the
victims , Indicated that they were almost
entirely second-class passengers. .There
were several flrst-class coaches on the
trains.. and it Is believed that their occu
pants were also among the victims.
Several versions of the disaster are given.
but the main facts which have been es
tablished are the following:
The train which caused the accident came
from , Porta Dauphins, at the entrance to
the Bols de Bolougne, in the western part
of Parla. After circling the sort hern
quarter of the city, where numbers of
workmen were picked up. the train reached
the neighborhood of the cemetery of Pere
la Chaise, where the electric il motor failed
to act properly. The train then waited at
the station fit Lea Couronnea. until the
arrival of a seoond train, which puahed
the crippled train forward, making a total
of sixteen coachea. After proceeding about
200 yarda to Mentllmontant atation, the
damaged dynamo set fire to the engine of
the flrat train. The fire burned fiercely,
Blraultaneoualy the electric lights on the
train went out. leaving the passengers In
darkness except for the light of the burning
engine far ahead. This Impeded the progress
of the tralna toward Mentllmontant.
Passengers Try to Walk.
The terror-stricken passengers got out
and tried to grope their way back. The
powerful electrical current which continued
In the rails la believed to have stunned
or killed many. A number of the pas
sengers managed to xeech Lea Couronnos
station, but the main body of the pas
sengers was overcome by the heat and
smoke.
A terrible panic occurred among those
behind, and the horror of the situation
waa Increased by a third train crashing
Into the fiery mass and adding another
crowd of panlo-auicken passengers to those

seeking an outlet The cars continued to
burn until twenty were .consumed. Ths
burning debris gave forth a fierce heat,
which puffed out of the mouths of the sta
tions of Les Couronnes and Mentllmontant.
The escape of most of the trainmen was
due to their superior knowledge of the
subterranean paasage.
A number of heroic incidents occurred.
Several soldiers, firemen and employes ef
the road nearly lost their lives In seeking
to aid the victims.
The catastrophe haa caused Intense ex
citement throughout tho city, even the
Humbert trial being forgotten in the wide
spread feeling of horror and grief. At noon
Colonel Meaux St. Marc, on behalf of Presi
dent Loubet, visited, the morgue and Pre
mier Combes went to the scene of the
disaster. M. Hurteaux, procurator of the
republic, and Judge Jolliot of the Seine
tribunal have proceeded to Lea Couronnes
station to open a Judicial Investigation Into
the affair.
Engineer Defies Warning.
The chief station master at Les Cour
onnes, M. Dieder, say he saw the flames
running along the -gear of the cars when
the first train passed through the station
and called out to the engineer to stop, say
ing there was not time to reach the next
station, but the engineer declared he had
ample time and proceeded.
A few minutes later a long, blue flame
flashed through the tunnel, followed by a
violent detonation. Looking Into the mouth
of the tunnel M. 'Dieder could see flashes
from the burning cars.
About 7 a. m the bodies of ten women
-ra brought out in. a bunch. The todies
of two little girls and three infants were
found with them, clinging ' to their
mother's. ' r .
Many poor people claimed the bodies of
their children and relatives and tried to
take them' home," but the ', police gently,

Imprisoned Victims Fight.
Eugene OHlver,-one of the few survivors,
described the terrible panic which occurred
in the darkness. The people', lie Bays,
rushed and fought with one another,' mad
ly seeking to get away. He was sick, but
nerved to desperation by the situation,
and managed to get through the struggling
maas. Aa he went he passed over the
bodies of those who had fallen exhausted,
but it waa Impossible to render them aid.
The names and occupations of the vic
tims give pathetlo evidence of their hum
ble condition The names are characteris
tic of the French working classes, and
occupations are given as painter, mason,
plumber, tailor, seamstress, locksmith, eto.
Outside the workmen about every third
name Is that of a woman.
The clothing of many of the victims is
torn, showing tha fierceness of the strug
gle. Another survivor, named Jules Bouat,
describes the struggle during ths panic
In the tunnel as terrible. An old man fell
suffocated at his feet. The women
screamed as they . fell asphyxiated. ' '
M. Blenveve, the chief engineer of the
Metropolitan railroad, saya from the tech
nical point of view every precaution to
avoid danger had been taken. The chief
misfortune was that the employes did not
organise assistance with sufficient rapidity
to permit the paasengare being quickly
drawn out. A, larro force of mounted
guards is at the mouths of the tunnel.
Premier Combes descended into the tun
nel and made a personal Inspection. He
asked the chief of police for a report of tho
oauses of the disaster and a list of the vic
tims, and announced his Intention of pro
posing at a council of measures for the re
lief of the poor families of the victims.
The flag over the Hotel Deville has been
lowered to half mast .as a sign of the
city's mourning.
M. Gauthler, the magistrate for the dis
trict, says one of, the main causes of the
loss of life was that those escaping took
the wrong passage, one passage letting out
to the street, while the other was barred
and was used for admitting passengers.
Many of the victims sought the barred exit,
and were found massed against the wall
where they had been slowly suffocated. .
The firemen have gatjiered a large col
lection of torn clothing, battered hate,
twisted umbrellas, and bloodstained, hand
kerchiefs showing how desperate was the
underground struggle.
At tha American consulate It was Jearned
that there were no Americans among the
victims. The prefecteur of police confirms
this. ......
Another fire broke out this evening In one
of the trains of the Metropolitan elect rlo

a panic but only two women were slightly

SEPARATION OF RACES IS DEMANDED
Re-estahllshweut of Negroes' Inequal
ity in Law. Declared Desirable,
hat Not Sufficient to Protect
Woniea la South,
CHAUTAUQUA. N. Y., Aug. ll.-Unlque
among all gatherings la the "mob confer
ence," now In progress here. The Incresse
of mob spirit shown by feuds, lynching,
riots, assassination! and oilier lawless
happenings gives great Importance to the
Conference.
Among today's speakers ' were John
Temple Graves of Atlanta. Oa , who spoke
on "The Mob Spirit, of the South." He
defended lynch law i a rwmedy for the
crime or crlmmln'al Ysaaiiff holding that
though lynching Is a crime, it Is Justified
by the crime which provoMes It, and will
never be discontinued until that crime Is
eliminated.
The remedy for lynching must be the
elmlnation of the crime of criminal assault,
and thla he maintained, rriuld be done only
by the separation of ths two races In the
United States. : , '
Treat Cause, Net Disease.
He continued!
The problem of -the hour is.r.pt how to
firevent lynching In. the south, but the
arger question. How shall we desfioy the
crime which alwtiyo haa and aiwhya Will
provoke lynching? The answer which the
mob returns is already known. The mob
answers It will take the rope; the bullet
and sometimes the torch and the mob la
Sractloal, its theory Is effective, to a large
egree; the mob is today tho sternest, the
strongest and the most effective means
whereby the age holda ontrot-over this
horrible crime. .
As a sheer, cold, patent fart the mob
stands today as the most prtent bulwark
between fhe women of the with and such
a carnival of cr'me as would Infuriate the
world and precipitate vlie annihilation of
the negro race. The masses of the tiegro
race are not nfrald of death -.-Qmlng In a
regular way. 1 hey leva the display and the
spectacular '.emnt of a tvfal and execu
tion appeals to their Imaglnatli h.
Expediting the process -of Ue law vould
not be adequate to eliminate lynching. The
epeal of the am.'.tdmnta and tt,e re-establishment
of the negro's Inferiority In law
and socially, though desirable, are not Suf
ficient for the negro Is a thing of senses,
and with this race and with all similar
races the desire -Of the sense must be re
strained. If possible under, the law.
Separate laws for white -nd ulnck, or
'.he treatment of the crlmo ts separate and
fvtslde oil other codes, f.re but expedients;
tl.ere Is no real t ;mcdy hut one... No stat
ute will tiermantntly tolve this problem.
Religion coea not eolve It. Efucaflon com-'
pllcates It. Politics complies tea i It. The
truth, which lies beyond .nd above all
these temporising expedients, Is tat sep
aration Is the loploali the Tdy, solution
of this great problem of the races.
