Victims Wallace Hagenback
Circus Folk in Cars Smashed
' by .Troop Train; Crash
Followed by Fire.
(By Associated Vrtsn.i
Gary. Ind., June 22.-rSixty
persons are known to be dead
and 129 are in hospitals in
) , Gary and Hammond tonight as
! a result of a rear-end collision
v at dawn today between an
! empty troop train composed of
Pullman cars and a Wallace
Hagenback circus train on the
, Michigan Central railroad, five
miles west of Gary. Virtually
all victims were members- of
the circus.
Th'irty-fTgrt bodies, all except one
charred beyond recognition, have
, been placed in Gary undertaking es
tablishments tonight. Twenty-one
bodies have been taken to Hammond.
Identification of all except a few bod
ies was not attempted today. Those
who died of injuries ii. hospitals were
known, but the effort of giving names
to the burned, mutilated bits of hu
manity taken from the wreck was re
served for tomorrow.
Three Coaches Demolished.
The empty troop train, traveling
down a straight stretch of track, to
tally demolished three of the flimsy
circus coaches and badly damaged a
fourth.
According to reports to local au
thorities, the circus train which car
ried four sleepers, five stock cars, 15.
flat cars and a caboose, pulled part
way into a switch and stalled there.
A flagman set fuses as a warning:
The circus train was in this position
when the troop train plowed into the
sleepers, reducing them to a pile of
tangled steel and timbers. Fire, en
gendered by the gas lighting system
of the circus train, broke out almost!
immediately, and when rescuer's
reached the scene the entire wreck
age was in flames.
Clowns, bareback -mdwsr 4apeze
performers and .acrobats, many of
them veterans in the circus world,
perished in the first great crash,
Other victims were suffocated arid
burned. ,
Clown -Loses Wife and Babies,
Attempts of the Gary fire depart
ment to curb the flames and make
possible quick access to the impris
oned victims were unsuccessful be
cause of lack of water supply in that
outlying district. Survivors struggled
about the wreck, screaming for rela
tives or friends and only force pre
vented two or three men from rush
ing" into the blazing wreckage.
Hours after the crash bodies
" charred black were still being recov
ered as the derricks of wrecking
trains thinned out the pile of debris
There were many pitiful scenes at
the wreck and later in the hospitals.
Joe Coyle, a clown, cried as he lay
on a stretcher and told how his wife
and two babies had joined him only
recently after months of absence and
how all three had been crushed tfi
death at his very side.

'Mayor Smith has announced that
he will not permit any city employe

Paris, June 22. Premier Clemen

at the war office, had a lengthy hear

mittee today on the question of ef
fectives. It has been widely ru
mored that the Germans have placed
a number, varying from eight to 30,
of long range cannon for the bom

SEE MYSTERY
IN ARREST OF
EARL BEAVER
Man Seized at St. Joseph
Thought to Be Brother of
Logan Billingsley, Okla
homa Bootlegger.
An element of mystery surrounds
the arrest of Earl Beaver, alleged
bootlegger, by federal authorities at
St. Joseph, Mo., Saturday,
Beaver, it is alleged'was arrested
on information given by a woman
from a roadhouse near St. Joseph, and
when he was seized by the officers he
was in a big Cadillac car, which was
loaded with liquor.
Earl Beaver is alleged to be none
other than Earl Billingsley, a brother
of Logan Billingsley, king of the
Oklahoma bootleggers, arid who, with
other members of the gang, arc now
serving sentences in federal prisons
for sellirjg liquor to Indians.
Beaver, as he is called, came to
Omaha last fall about the time that
Logan Billingsley arrived here.
Billingsley was arrested by police
on complaint of Rome Miller, who al
leged the Oklahoma man was using
the rooms he occupied in the. Rome.
hotej tor the illegal sale of liquor.
- 38illujgsif y TJjnjitenl Suit.
Billingsley threatened to file suit for
$50,000 damages against the . hotel
keeper, for causing his arrest. Later
Billingsley was again; 'arrested and
was being held in central statibn fof
the authorities of the state of Wash
fngton, ' but, was . released on a $500
bond, which he forfeited.
After his departure from Omaha
the accident which occurred to Jess
Eckford, in which May Nace, -an
Omaha girl, was hurt by the over
turning of a bootlegging car, January
12, near Shenandoah, la., developed
the fact that there was a regular fleet
of bootlegging automobiles plying be
tween St. Joseph and Omaha and it
was alleged that Beaver was the prin
cipal of the gang.
He was sought by local officials and
some months ago former Special
Prosecutor McGuire received a card
purporting to be from Earl Beaver,
and which was sent from a Canadian
city, stating that he had enlisted in
the Canadian forces and would soon
be on his way to France.
Several Trips to Omaha.
Since that time the man known lo
cally as Earl Beaver nas made several
trips to Omaha and has been recog
nized by acquaintances.
Un June 11 Brvan Van Dvkp and
wife, with James Cosgrove, were ar
rested and held at the central station
for the wife on a charge of "investiga
tion." Van Dyke, it is alleged, was
known to James Cosgrove as Earl
Beaver. The latter had on his person,
it is alleged at the time of his arrest a
registration card giving his descrip
tion, his registry number and all the
requirements of the draft law, under
the name of Van Dyke.
ine question now arises. Is there a
man serving in France under the
name of Earl Beaver, who is really
Bryan Van Dvke. and with wlmm Van
Dyke traded registration cards, or was
the man arrested here reaiiv Rrv
Van Dyke and is Earl Beaver serving
in r-rance?
There was no evidence which could
prove that Jess Eckford or Earl
Beaver sold whiskey in Omaha at the
time the cases against the two men
were brought up last winter, and the
federal authorities who arrested Earl
Beaver at St. Toseoh will cive out no
information as to the charges filed
against him nor will they permit the
prisoner to be interviewed.

The "treatment prescribed by mar
tial law" referred. to in, the Austrian
official report', isf dath at the hands
of a, firing squad. -
There are many thousands of
Czecho-Slovak soldiers in the Italian
army. The newspaper Roma, pub
lished in Rome, declared in May that
20,000 Czecho-Slovaks who formerly
lived in the United States were now
serving ander arms for Italy.
Many Bohemian troops, according
to the London Daily Mail, have joined
the Italian colors against Austria.
These detachments belonged to a
Czecho-Slovak army which is being
formed in 'many centers from for
mer subjects of Emperor Charles.
Their defection to Italy has caused
much anxiety among the Austro
Hungarian commanders, who fear the
effect on their Slav troops.
Former Government
Man Impersonates
U. S. Officer; Fined $1
W. O. Banks, 19 years old, of Bal
timore, was fined $1 in federal court
Saturday by Judge Woodrough on
the charge of impersonating a United
States officer and obtaining money
under false pretenses from Manager
Kitchen of the Paxton hotel.
Banks said that he had just left
the federal employ at Baltimore and
was on his way to Portland, Ore., to
obtain a similar position there, when
he became stranded in Omaha without
any money. He told the judge that
Manager Kitchen had refused to cash
a check for him, but had given him
$10 on his representing himself as a
government employe, when he had
really ceased to be one several days
before.

Explain Program for Raising
New War Fund of Hun
dred Million Dollars.
John R. Mott, general secretary of
the Young Mcns Christian associa
tion, and George' W. Perkins, chajr-
man of the campaign I committee, '
passed through Omaha Saturday aft
ernoon en route to San Jfrancisco and
the west for conferences with busi
ness men in these sections of the
country to prepare, for the second
Young Men's Christian association
war fund, which has for its goal a
total of $100,000,000.
"America's best nien, composing
the cleanest army ever known in his
tory, are being rushed over in the
world's greatest ships, some of which
carry 13,000 or 14,000 persons," said
Dr. Mott, who is rated as one of the
world's best known?mcn, traveling on
every continent and having -visited
the front five times. "It is a critical
hour of the human race. The ball is in
German's hands on the firing line, but
we will win.
"At night time the boats start out of
the ports loaded to the limit with
fighting men. They sleep the men in
relays in the bnnks in order to get
more men aboard. During my varied
trips to the front I have never seen
j an American soldier under the influ
! ence of liquor.
i Gives Nebraska's Quota.
-Nineteen Nebraskans, with over
500 other men from the 14 states com
prising the central United States
army department, Friday heard why
this country must raise, some time
next fall, at least $100,000,000 for the
Young Men's Christian association
work among the soldiers and sailors
of this country and our allies. Before
the close of the meeting these Ne
braskans joined with others in say
ing the amount needed is at least
$112,000,000.
"Nebraska's quota, based on the
percentage set by the last Liberty
loan quota, will be, in round numbers,
about $1,112,000. Omaha's share is ex
pected to be between $250,000 and
$500,000. Iowa's share will be about
$2,800,000; $340,000 for South Dakota,
and $300,000 for North Dakota. These

PLAN TO LAUNCH
89 VESSELS ON
FOURTHJDF JULY
American Ship Yards Will Cele
brate Independence Day in
Way That Will Help
Win War.
(By Amoclnted FreM.)
Washington, June 22. -Celebration
of July 4 this year will be made no-
table for all time by the launching
from American ship yards of the
largest number of ships of the great
est aggregate tonnage ever put into
the water in one day. Independence
day's contribution to the merchant
fleet will be at least 89 vessels with
a capacity of 439,886 deadweight tons.
Workmen are straining to complete
six other hulls in, time, which would
make the total tonnage 470,886.
The conservative estimate of
launching to take place on the day
Americans venerate more than any
other, is one-third more than the en
tire production of sea-going tonnage
in United States yards in the fiscal
year of 1915-1916 and exceeds by 42,
050 tons the launchings of 1901, the
record pre-war year in American
shipbuilding. The shipping board's
banner construction month of May
will be eclipsed in one day both in
number of ships and in tonnage.
Thirty-seven of the hulls expected
to be launched will be steel, with a
tonnage of 254,686.
Vessel Built in 78 Days.
Washington, June 22. Completion
of the 8,800-ton cargo ship, West
Apam in 78 days by the Skinner in:
Eddy company of Seattle, giving that
company the honor of having turned
out six of the ten fastest built ves
sels of the shipbuilding program, was
announced today by the shipping
board. Chairman Hurley telegraphed
the company:
"You are splendidly maintaining
your characteristic pace and I trust
that your July launching and deliv
eries will set new records for your
organization. Again accept congrat
ulations from Mr. Schwab and my
self and kindly let your employes
know that we deeply appreciate their
achievements in the shipping pro
gram." National League to Use

New York, June 22. That the Na
tional league would complete the pre
sent season's playing schedule even
though it became necessary to secure
smateurs to fill the depleted ranks,
was the assertion made today by Sec
retary John J. Heydler. Secretary
Heydler stated that despite handicaps

reason for cancelling or curtailing the

London, June 22. Clothing in Ger

SENATORIAL
CANDIDATES
GUMSHOEING
Editorial Association Meeting
Causes Candidates for Senate
to Visit in Gate City Dur
ing Conclave.
The Nebraska editors were in Oma
ha this week, purely on pleasure bent,
but there was a lot of political medi
cine mixing on the outskirts, just the
same. ,
Ross Hammond and Edgar Howard
were in attendance, of course, as
members of the press association
without a thought of their ambitions
to capture their respective party nom
inations for United States senator,
and ex-Governor Morchead dropped
in wholly by accident, in complete
ignorance of the prospect of bump
ing into his competitors for that same
job.
Sloan and Norrls Absent.
On the republican side neither
Sloan nor Norris happened to be ed
itors, but they too, were represented
by trustworthy emissaries carefully
spying out the land. One question
which remained unanswered was, why
had Senator Norris been so slow to
file re-election? Speculation, per
haps bcViic of the hope, turned on
what might happen if he should fin
ally flunk and leave Hammond arid
Sloan, Jo fight it out among tbem
' selves Will there be other entries
in the republican primary Contest for
the scnatorship, was still anbther
question, asked more than once, and
left unanswered.
This democratic senatorial melee
resolves itself largely into a contest
between the Hitchcock-Mullen forces
and the Bryan mourners. Lieutenant
Governor Howard took occasion to
read into the records a positive state
ment that he would rather go down
to an ignominious defeat than to sit
in the councils of the mighty at Wash
ington and wear a brass collar bear
ing "G. M. H." thereon. He cata
logued Morehead, Reed and Price as
"personal and political" friends of
Hitchcock, with the cards running in
favor of Morehead for the Hitchcock
blessing.
Bill Price got into the democratic
senatorial free-for-all with patriotic
motives, according to a confession he
made at Lincoln a few days ago. He
proceeded to explain that Morehead,
KeeU'and Howard arc wasting good
time and money, while he, the new
Moses, entered at the psychological
moment.
Morehead Optimistic.
Mr. "Morehead, formerly governor
and now charged with being the
Hitchcock-Mullen senatorial candi
date, although he denies the allega
tion, was optimistic, but agreed that
the votes would have to be counted
before the nominee could be deter
mined. "I really believe that I Iiavc a good
chance, but it is hard to tell this year,
when the people seem to be a great
mass of independent thinkers," he
said. "I recall that in 1912. when
Reed was making a senatorial primary
race, he met me in the Rome hotel,
called me into a back room and con
fidentially imparted to me the infor
mation that he had the best little or
ganization that ever was organized,
and that there would be nothing to
it. When the votes were counted,
there was nothing to it is far as Reed
was concerned. So you see, you can't
always tell by the looks of a frog
which way he is going to jump."
As for Willis Reed, the debonair
little attorney general of the Antelope
state, he keeps milling around, shak
ing hands and smiling and talking
about Washington, D. C, with a fa
miliarity that makes some of his
democratic brethren sit up and look
twice.

in the battlefield and to the mortality
caused by the desperate food condi
tions at home, is rising by leaps aryl
bound s.
"What becomes of the clothes left
behind by all these people?" he asks.
"Why should they not be given to
the living? The dead no longer need
tlrm."
After July 15 it will be illegal for
any hotel, restaurant or other public
house to serve meals on tablecloths.
Such tablecloths and napkins as these
establishments now possess will be
confiscated and utilized primarily for
baby linen.
