GRAVE OF ARTHUR'S CONSORT

Oataererr.
GLASGOW. Oct. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.)-The burial of Idy CampbrH
Bannernnn In Melgle church vard might
well hnvt drawn more attention than it
has done to a, curious and Interesting tradi
tion of the spot. Tbnt tradition. li(iy
stated. Is that the diiKt of Guinevere,
spouse of the famous King Arthur, lies In
the church yard. Py the villagers, who re
peat the tradition, she Is culled Queen Win
der, or Vnnora, but there is no doubt am
to the person Intended. ' A long, low mound
among the graves beside the church Ic
pointed out as the actual snot where she
lies, and certnln of the strange carved
atoms which once stood In the church yiird
and are now preserved In the old villi"
school are said to commemorate her end.
At first suggestion the presence of Ar
thur's queen so far to the north may seem
to the popular mind preposterous. But
j that popular mind derives Its knowledge
or Arthur and his kingdom and deeds from
no more authentic sources, as a rule, than
Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" and Sir
Thomas Malory's "Morte d'Arthur" and
similar romances. To the. student of actual
history there Is nothing at all Impossible
about the tradition that Guinevere ended
her days at Molgle.
When It Is remembered that the nets
were Arthur's enemies their capital was
M Fortevlot. on the Earn, near Perth-It
ns natural enough that the erring queen
have fled Into their country, fearing
..'e.unce of her li i d. Mclgl is said
the oldest village In Scotland. Its
ca J stones are among the most curiwus
of these monuments which strew Strath
more, and the possibility, to say the least,
that Its church yard holds the dust of the
far-famed Guinevere does not lessen the
strange Interest of the spot.
BENDER FAMILY IS RECALLED
Kansas Incident Reflected In Dis

PARIS, Oct. 28. (Special Cablegram to
The Pee.) Those who have a memory for
horrors will remember the grim tale of a
KaiiKH farm, where a score or so of skele
tons were found burled. The bluff, honest
farmer had thriven on the robbery and
murder of wayfarers. A farm of the same
sort has just lieen discovered by three de
tectives of Paris In the Austrian Tyrol, at
rtoisen. On August 10 last M. Alphonse
Braunschweiz, a Swiss member of Parlia
ment, while mountaineering In the neigh
borhood, disappeared mysteriously and his
son appealed to the Paris surcte generate,
and three detectives were sent to investi
gate. Near to the spot where M. Braun
schweix had been last seen they dug up
the body of another tourist, who had un-
accountably disappeared two months before.

Democratic Gang
"I reallie. of course, that the position of
city prosecutor carries with it considerable
power that miy be used to extremes either
way, but I have always conducted an or
derly place and never yet, In the years that
I have been In business In Omaha, have t
been obliged to ark for 'protection' or
forced to go Into police court nnd defend
myself against any charge. And so I don't
believe that at this late date I am going
to knuckle down to a proposition Just be
cause a club Is hung over my head. I don't
believe there's any use to court trouble, so
for that reason I will ask you not to use
my name."
This is the utterunee of a saloon keeper
In Omaha who hsa been In buslnesa for
years. The full meaning of the statement
may be bettor appreciated when all the
circumstances are known.
Certain well known democratic brethren
sre giving lessons In the occult science of
combining business with politics. One of
these brethren Is E. E. Howell, known
chiefly as the man who runs for mayor
every few decades, and another Is Herbert
8. Daniel, recently elected city prosecutor,
and also secretary of the state democratic
committee, as well as a member of Gilbert
M. Hitchcock's special campaign commit
tee. Mr. Diailel is supposed to be new at
the game Of politics as well as that of law,
but his friends say ha is displaying re
markable signs of "getting onto the ropes."
The fact, that the city proaecutorshlp Is
an office fraught with great possibilities
said not to hove escaped the keen observa
tion of Mr. Daniel, nor, Of course, that of
his astute, tind experienced friend, Ed
Howell. It is even said that Mr. Daniel
and Mr. Howell have peered inquiringly
out into the future and perceived certain
circumstances under which saloon keepers
might fall under the ban of the law as It
la directed by the city prosecutor and that
by a certain interpretation of that law thy
city prosecutor might have it In his power
to make things unpleasant as well as un
profitable for the said saloon keeper.

"We do not deny the Japanese any ed

The seriously Injured:
C J. Clossen, a grocer.

It (S supposed that the gas escaped from
a leaking main somewhere In the block, and
that after a sufficient quantity had accumu
lated It became Ignited, causing the explo
sion. The buildings were In a row on East
KlKhth street, and were ocupled by a real

The second floors of all the buildings were
occupied as rooming houses.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2S.-8ecretary of War
Taft today freely discussed the guberna

emphatically that be was all certain of
Mr. Hearst's defeat. He said:
The election of Hearst would be a most
deplorable thing. It would be nothing

ror that reason I am especially to be

of voters that la generally hard to arouse

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. IH.-Uy the
wrecking of a three-coach electric train on
the West' Jersey & Seashore railroad this
afternoon, at least fifty passengers per.siuxl,
and the lint may reach the total of seventy
five when all is known.
While crossing over a draw bridge span
ning the waterway known as "The Thor
oughfare," which a 'parates Atlantic City
from the mainland, the train left the tracH
and plunged Into the water. The passen
gers In the first two coaches, with one or
j two exceptions, were drowixd. I'p to mid
night tonight twenty-five and possibly fifty
more bodies still are In the submerged
coaches.
The disaster, the worst that haa happened
since the horrible. Meadow wreck of July
5, 1S9S. , occurred at 2:SU o'clock thla after
noon. The train, made up of three heavy
vestibule electric coaches, which left Cam
den at 1 o'clock In the afternoon, carrlei
?T?'ht TTT'
number of tickets are held by
as that
the con
ductor. That official Is uncertain, however.
Just how many iaengers were on the
train, and until nil the bodies have bren
taken out of the submerged coaches It will
not be possible to give the true figures of
the dead.
Caase Not let Kstabllahed.
The cause of the wreck has not yet been
established. It was probably due either to
a d'cUve rail or the breaking of some
part of trie superstructure of the first
coach. It has also bean suggested that the
draw bridge, which had Just been closed
after the passuge of a yacht, may not havu
properly locked the rails. All theories to
night aa to the caune of the accident, how
ever, are purely speculative.
While running at a speed sdd to lmvi
been moderate, the first coach left the ralln
and dragged those following It over the U"
for a distance of fifty fuet. Suddenly
swerving the first two coaches plunged over
the aide of the bridge Into the water fifteen
feet below. The third coach struck an
abutment, broke Its couplings and for a
brief time hung suspended over the water.
Brief aa was thla period, however. It gavw ,
morn than a score of passengers an oppor
tunity, to Mcaps by the. rear door. Then the
car slid off and followed th other two lnb
the water. It la believed every ou ln the
third coach excaped alive, although an weta
Injured.
Coaches gink from bight.
.The. accident .waa witnessed by many per
sons on shore and assistance was promptly
sent from Atlantic. City. . Little could be
done, lKiwever, towards saving the llvts
of those Imprisoned In the submerged
coachos. The water at the point where,
the train plunged In was not deep enough
to cover tho coaches at first, but aa they
quickly settled In the mud and aa the tide
rose they were soon hidden Jrom sight ex
cept for the trolley poles. Divers were
sent down to try to reach the dead bodies
In the coaches, but as darkness set ln and
as the tide ran swiftly they were unable
for a long time to reach them.
Late In the evening a wrecking crew ar
rived on the scene and with their aid
and the use of a derrick a dozen or more
bodies were token out and brought to this
city. Of the twenty-five bodies about
twenty have been Identified, and It la be
lieved no difficulty will be experienced In
establishing the identity of the others.
Genei-al Manager W. W. Atterbury of
the Pennsylvania railroad arrived on the
scene tonight and trill make a thorough In
vestigation Into the cause of the accident.
Until this investigation shall have been
made Mr. Aterbury declined to make any
statement.
