EXCURSION TRAIN A NidDight Special Crashes Into Hear End of an Excur sion Train A SCORE WAS INJURED Two Women Have Died and About 40 Are Seriously Injured Collision Due to Smoke From Forest Fires Obscuring the Track Trains Were Running at Greatly Reduced Speed or the Damage Would Have Been Much Greater Rescuing Parties Remove the Injured to Hospital. (By Leased Wire to The Times.. Chicago, Sept. 14: Two persons, one of them a Chicago woman, are re ported dead, a number are dying and over 40 persons were Injured,; as the result of a rear-end collision earsy today at Chester, ' Ind., between a theatre train running out of Chicago and the rear coaches of an excursion train running from Chicago to Indi anapolis. The wrecked coach was attached to a train on the Lake Erie & West ern, standing on the through track at Chesterton. The theatre train was a Chesterton local, running out on the Lakeshore & Michigan Southern Railroad. Relief trains over the Lakeshore & Michigan Southern began discharg ing the dead, dying and injured sur vivors of the wreck at the Thirty-first street station of the road in Chicago shortly after daylight, following a record-breaking run from Chester ton. They were taken to Mercy hos pital and to a morgue. The dead: Mrs. Hester Hecox, 571 East 63d street, Chicago, died of internal in juries at Mercer Hospital. Unidentified man; taken to Chicago on relief train. The excursion train arrived hers for orders a few minutes ahead of the regular train. At the time a great line of smoking forest fires, driven down by the wind, hung over the tracks, making the rear lights in the excursion train dim aad shutting oft a view of the tracks even a hundred feet ahead of the suburban train at the time the trains came together. The suburban train was running at greatly reduced speed, owing to the haze, or the Injured list would have been greatly increased. The subur ban train engine telescoped at least half of the rear coach, driving the passengers to the forward end. Im mediately after the trains struck the lights in the coach were extinguished, which added to the confusion in the coach. Rescuing parties were made up of trainmen and the excursionists removed the injured to temporary hospitals, where the injuries were dressed temporarily. Later a relief train was rushed to Chicago with the Injured to place them in Mercy Hos pital. Some of the Injured were taken to Laporte hospitals, while the less In jured proceeded on the excursion train to their homes in Indianapolis.

Unknown, She Hangs Herself in Jail. Was Charged With Stealing. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Cumberland, Md., Sept. 14. An unknown young woman, strikingly handsome, committed suicide by hanging herself in the jail at Buck hannon, W. Va., last night and so far j the authorities have not been able to identify her. She was arrested on the Buckhannon fair grounds Friday, tried, and found guilty of stealing a package containing two skirts from a woman who had taken them Into the' aancing pavilion, and in default of ?5 fine was committed to jail. When sentenced she informed the judge she would kill herself. Saturday morning she swallowed some poison that she evidently had concealed on her person, but quick action of physicians saved her life. Saturday night she tore up her bed sheet, made a rope of it, which she threw over a building brace rod that passade through the top of her cell. She was about 22 years old. She is the third prisoner that has committed suicide in that cell in the past six months, the other two having been men.

All the rest of Mac's collection of champions will be there en-inasse and will help along with the cheering : thing while thirteen teams of racers' start, gathered from all ends of the! earth will pedal away unon what promises to be the fastest, hottest and most thrilling fight that has ever taken place on the steep banked sau cer track at the garden. While this even will not be a con tinual all day and all night week long grind, Buck as the mid-winter race, which has become justly fanfd as New York's greatest Indoor spring feature, It nevertheless promises some fine sport. It ia a team race, similar to the December event and is limited to two hours each night from 9:30 until 11:30 o'clock. Cycle fans are betting even money that the hour record for team racing is broken during the first sixty minutes. At the Academy. Manager Upchurch announces that the splendid company which appeared at the Academy Saturday night will be the attraction for Monday, Tues day, and Wednesday nights. The play, as presented Saturday night, was well received by the big crowd that filled the Academy to the doors, and almost every number was encored repeat edly. ', There will be a complete change Of program tonight, and also many new features added, and those who attend this week may be sure of seeing dne of the best attractions on the road. The fact that local -talent is connected with the play gives more interest to those who attend. ; The attractions to-1 night are excellent, and no doubt there will be only standing room.

WEATHERS & PERRY Grand Millinery Openings. Misses Carrie and Roberta Phillips, millinery buyers for the Boylan Pearce Company, have returned from New York, Philadelphia, and Balti more. They report that the "Grand Openings" in the northern cities are on a grander scale, surpassing any thing seen heretofore.

Difference, ANTI-HUGIIESriEN LACK LEADERS Seem to Have majority of Dei- esales But Can't Unite on Candidate WODSWORTH IS STRONG Root, Choate and Others Are Hughes Men and Say They Would Not Ac- cent Nomination if Offered Them. Convention Met at 3 O'clock With Secretary Root as Chairman Nom inations Will be Made Tomorrow. Governor Hughes Not at Conven tion and Has Nothing to Say to Any of His Supporters. (By GEORGE M. PAYNE. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 14. A gor geous sun and a bracing air accom panied the dawn of the first day of the New York state republican con vention but It brought no joy to the hearts of the anti-Hughes insurgents. Saturday and Sunday the delegates were milling like the cattle of the west stopped in the madness of a stampede. Today the milling con tinues. There is no one to lead the stampede. Here is the situation in a nutshell before the convention is called to order: The anti-Hughes men have enough to nominate if they could agree on just the right kind of a man. There are many men in the state of just the sort wanted. But every man of these men Root, Choate et al is a Hughes man, refuses to con sider a nomination and declares he would decline It If offered. It Is all but openly admitted that not one of the men who would accept a nomination can get it. Wadsworth, White, Stewart, Bennett, Berry and others have only sectional following. Wadsworth is the strongest and might secure 250 votes. The conven tion is due to be called to order at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Temporary organization will be effected. Secre tary Root as chairman will deliver his speech and adjournment will be taken until tomorrow morning. The n!ght will be full of toil and trouble. That the situation will change any Is not probable. . It has not changed any In the three days pre ceding the convention. . The Hughes candidacy is unlike any other candi dacy ever known in New York state republican convention. The gover nor Is not here, has not authorized representative here, and has abso lutely refused to have anything to say to any of his supporters. The Hughes men until this morning have had no organization or headquarters or spokesmen. Today this changed In one respect. William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, the teal original out and out anti-Hughes man, has claimed al) along that he represented in his sen timents and attitude : the .organized republicans of Albany county. To day this was flatly contradicted and headquarters even opened at ' the United States Hotel by the Taft hughes League of Albany , county, where this contradiction was handed out to all concerned and backed up with written statements, figures and affidavits.
