AN UNIDENTIFIED woman. - The train was crowded with teachers to a county convention and many of tho Injured were young women. Tliey snW the confusion was terrifying when the train, composed of a passenger and bag gage car struck the bridge and plunged downward Into the swollen creek. Those who did not hold or were not caught, were shot down "the tipping car Into the Inflowing water. Rescue Taste Dlffloolt.

It waa necessary for the survivors to crawl up the sides of the car clinging to the window ledges and seats and onto the end of the shattered abutment. Many of the injured were unconscious from loss of blood, or the shock by the time this perilous route was covered. Relief trains from Manhattan and Marysvlle gave the injured medical attention. What occurred -in the forward end of the passenger car, which Was used as a smoking coiipartment. probably never will be known, as no one who was in that section has yet been discovered among the survivor. The smoking com partment was submerged almost immedi ately after the abutment gave way, and those in It had little or no chance -to escape. The Impact W the wreck shat tered the windows loathe forward part of the car and the flood waters urured In over the confined passengers there when the car fell. Death Dae to Drowning-. Three bodies have been taken from this section, and though they were badly In jured, death occurred from drowning. All the bodies yet remaining In the car are In this section.' Heroic acta were many on" the part of passengers who were themselves Injured. J. H. Sawtell, principal of the Manhattan High school, although badly cut and bruised, refused to leave the car until every person who showed signs of life had been, removed. When he recovered from the first shock, which precipitated him half way .through a window, he seised an Iron bar and, clambering over the tilted seats, broke out the glass of windows and helped many women to evrawl throuah. Car llssdt 01 End. The front end of the car Cmollshed the abutment and one end of the bridge and was tottering on the edge of the stream. Before many of the struggling passengers could extricate themselves and reach the doors or windows the car broke loose from the trailing baggage car and plunged downward, standing almost up right upon the front end. Many clung to seats and window ledges until they were rescued. Those who had been thrown against the front of the car (Continued on Pago Two, Column One.) The Weather Teasperatare aha Teeterdar.

King Ferdinand Asserts the War is Nearing Its End LONDON, Oct. 16.

The manifesto implies Bul garia has no quarrel with the entente powers. It eiplalns that they like Ger many were prepared to give Bulgaria the greater part of Macedonia. "Our treacherous neighbor, Serbia, alone remained Inflexible in the face of the advice of her friends and allies," the manifesto continues. "Far from listening to their counsels, Serbia In animosity, stupidly attacked our territory and our brave troops have been forced to fight for the defense of their own soil." In con clusion King Ferdinand says: "The European war la Bearing a close. The victorious armies of the. central empires in Serbia are advancing rapidly. I command our valltant army to drive the enemy from the limits of our kingdom and crush this felon neighbor. We shall fight the Serbs at the same time as the brave armies of the central empires." Hundred Friendless Texans in Jail May Be Given Freedom DALLAS. Tex., Oct. 1. Governor James E.

Urges Bright Lights as the Preventative Against Air Raids LONDON, Oct. IB. London's whole system of protective darkening against Zeppelin attacks is wrong and should be replaced by a lavish system of search lights, making the city one vast carpet of light, according to C. O. Grey, an aviator expert. The best way to prevent tan air raider from -doing serious work. Grey says, is to blind him with a glare of light. "! 'For this reason," asserts the writer, "the proposed plan of sending up aero planes at night to attack Zeppelins is ridiculous, because . until the . Zeppelin is lit up by searchlights haaerojjlane cannot find It, and then as' soon' as the aeroplane rises above the Zeppelin to drop bombs It gets Into the beam of the searchlight and the pilot la made help less by the glare. "One hears much about night aeroplane patrols . over Paris, but they are . there ui,i . h nf tha nea- , ,,i t.. a ring of searchlights completely Inclose ing . the city. I submit the following scheme for the protection of London: "Divide the city lhto half-mile squares njl In the corners of each square place searchlights throwing wide beams ver tically upward, the beam of each search light oVcr-lapplng that of its neighbor. Thus London would be covered with a carpet of light so blinding that passing aircraft could see nothing below, while land guns would have a clear target In the lighted area above."

Along the line of march scores of houses are decorated In red, the anti suffrage colors, while red roses worn by crowds in the street were supposed to Indicate their opposition to vote for women. It waa the anti-suffragists' plan to stand In silence along the streets through which the parade moved, with their red colors flung to the breece.

Thu United iStates and several other countries, however, have not had diplomatic rep resentatives for some time in Mexico City, and recognition probably will take the form of the presentation of a note to General Carransa through the medium of Ellseo Arredondo, his representative here, who will depart for Mexico to meet General Carransa. With the presentation of such a note, an embargo on arms would go into ef fect against opposing factions and an ambassador or charge d'affalrs would be sent ss soon as a selection could be made.
