ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 3.
At least five persons were killed and a
bout 75 others injured, half of the mesri
ouly, early today when a Camden-Atjun-tic
City express train left the rails at

4"d rolled down an embankment. Tho
actual number ofb dead will not be
known until the wreckage is thoroughly
Searched. There were reports that nearly
twenty persons were killed, but the'eom
pany announced only five.
The express train split a switch at th
Cape ,May cross-over aim' plunged per
haps forty feet down a steep embank
ment and its engine and five couches
were piled up at the bottom, a complete
wreck.
Tho identified dead arc Walter West
cott.engineers; William Souders, fire
man; Hoi Worth, of Mays Landing, X.
J., a passenger. Tho injured list was
variously placed "between' 2(1 and 75. The
fact that the train was composed of solid
steel coaches proba'bly kept the death list
down.

it could not be definitely learned how

Dr. Lispschultz, one of the first physi-
cians on the scene, who arrived here ex-
hausted after working among the sur-
vivors said
"When T went inside I heard no
screams at nrsi. Many were moaning
and there were many women with young
children jammed down in the wreckage.
I went to those who appeared vJorst injured-
and asked them questions, trying
to find those who required immediate
emergency attention. They appeared
dazed. Then in a twinkling the scene
was changed." 1

CHANGE FOR CAROLINIANS
TO GET VAST TERRITORY
Carolinas Advised to Assert
Claim to Half Country Old
Roval Grants Give Title
West to Pacific Coast
(By Brock Barkley.)
RALEIGH, July 2. The Carolinas
have a good friend out in' Memphis,
Tcnn., who is claiming for us all of that
territory west to tho Pacific . ocean be
tween the 31st parallel of luttituda and
the 3ith,
lie thinks that by going to law Raleigh
or Columbia could "become the capital of
about balf the United States, drawing
in a dozen or more states "beginning with
Arkansas and going through the ' row of
commonwealths between the 31st and
3Cth parallels of lattitude and including
a part of California.
. lie has been looking up some old
grants and western titles generally am
ho discovers that these boundaries, set
out in the original grants to Carolina
colony by the English government back
in the colonial days, have not been chan
ged with the organization of states or
through statuatory enactments
Tho good friend, who writes. Attorney
"General Manning, sees in tho institution
of a suit by Arkansas, involving a uti
gation over boundaries and the title to
certain lands, a budding opportunity for
North and South Carolina to jump in
and grab the whole business. His lette
sets forth fully his contentions and reads
as follows: 11
Vast Territory Involved.
"Tho states of North and South Caro
lina are the owners of all that tract of
country west oj tho Mississippi river,
'bounded between the 3lst -parallel of
northern latitude and the 36th parallel
of latitude, bounded on the we3j by the
Pacific ocean and gulf of California.
This information I have bad on. investi
gation of Spanish grants 'and wtstern
titles generally, but not until this time
had I considered it opportunte to assert
this title. ' . '
. "Tho state of Arkansas is now pre
paring & suit to filo in the supreme court
of the United States, which involves a
litigation over boundaries and the titlo
to certain hinds, against the states of
Oklahoma and Texas, also asking the fix
ing of a boundary between the 'territory
involved ami the -Mexican states; and I
reached the conclusion that it is eminent
ly worth while that the states of North
and Souh Carolina intervene in this law
suit and assert the titlo which I have
mentioned, thus bringing a small portion
of their rights to lands which I ' have
mentioned for determination which
would control any future litigation for
lands, in the same territory, unless Jhe
risk would bo too great of barring fur-,

states of North and South Carolina for
the recovery of lands which could bavo

MAINTENANCE OF WAY
WORKERS MAY JOIN IN
TOE RAILROAD STRIKE
Canvass of Strike Vote Will
; Determine Whether They
, Join the Strike.
THEY NUMBER 450,000
Strike Orders Prepared and
Awaiting Result of the
Vote Being Taken.
DETROIT, MICH., July 3. (By Tho
Associated Press.) Whether the nation-
wide railroad- strike would spread to the
maintenance of way workers, numbering
some 450,000 depended today upon the
canvass of-A 'strikek vote begun by
Grand Lodge officers of the union Broth
erhood of Maintenance of Way Em
ployes and Railway Shop Laborers.
Checking of the vote began at Brother
hood headquarters here this morning.
E. F. Crable, grand president of the
Brotherhood, annune'eed that if a ma
jority of two thirds to throe fourths of
the vote is found to favor a strike, the
men will "be ordered out.
Grable declared that although 280,000
of tho 450,000 maintenance of way men
employed on the American rail lines
are affiliated with the brotherhood the
170,000 non-union workers have .been
given opportunity t ovote and their wish
as expressed by the ballots being can
vassed today, will be considered with
those of the brotherhood members.
- A strike order was withheld Saturday
by President Crable following a hearing
before the Labor Board in Chicago. At
that time' the Brotherhood head declared
certain concessions hail been given anft
all workers were urged to remain at
work pending a meeting, of the grand
lodge officers. Reports received here indi
cate that approximately 25,000 mainte
nance of way men already have gone out.
If these reports are correct, Grable de
clared, their action was due to two rea
son First, because of a misunder
standing, and, secondly, because they are
in sympathy with the shop craft workers.
Strike orders linve been prepared, at
the brotherhood headquatterg addressed
to 2,700 local unions- throughout tho
country. Should the canvass of the vote
today show the majority considered nec
essary by President Grable, the messages
will be dispatched immediately, calling
out every member of the organization ex
cept those necessary for public safety.

EVANGELIST PREACHES ON
BACKSLIDING CHURCH
Immense Crowd at Sunday
Night Service Heard Mr
Haggard Deliver Strong Ser
mon On Sin of Backsliding.
4 (Reported for The Gazette.)
The Haggard meeting is growing in
interest at every service. The crowds at
lie Saturday evening and the . Bunday
evening services were enormous. The
negroes did not turn out very well for
tho afternoon seryice yesterday. The
cloud which came up right at tho time
for service hindered thein considerably,
but despite this fact two hundred and
more of them were out to sing some old
time negro spirituals. A largo crowd it
white people was there, possibly two
thousand oMhem. The service was very
fine. Beveral professed faith in Christ
ut tho close of the Berviee.? JSome of these
wero old people who do not go to. church
and have never takn any interest in reli
gion. The largest crowd we have had
gathered last evening. If we had five
thousand at the opening service, we had
six thousand at the servico last evening.
It is impossible to estimate such a crowd.
There were at least four thousand there.
Tho evangelist preach on "Backslid
den Church."
His text yesterday evening was in Mai.
3: 7. "Even from tho days of your
fathers ye are gone away from mine ordi
nances, and have not kept them. Return
unto me, and I will return unnto you,
saith the Lord of hosts."
The eva-ngclist said, "If you are not a
backslider, I am not talking to you.
When we get the Christians back to God,
it will not be any trouble to get the sin
ners saved. The devil don't worry about
the lost until a revival comes. Then he
gets busy, but wo ought to put him out ot
commission here. If ho can get a church
member to tackslide that is as good as
the devil wants. 'He had rather have a
church nieiirtier talk about your members
than to have a sinner do so. lie tikes to
get Into the church of Jesus Christ. That
is whero he likes to work.
"God always sends men to warn the
people. In olden times be sent th pro
phets. I lielieye that he sent mo here to
warn you from tho wrath of God. The
devil is trying to get me to believe that
I am going to kill myself. If the devil
can get mo anil the other preachers to
close our mouths, lie will rejoice hided.
If you do right, Ood will give you a
place in heaven.
"Children of'Isra'oF, you have had the
law which Moses gave. You have broken
it, Malachi said. Boys, you must come
back to it. You have got to come to tho
law under which you live. The people of
Gastonia must give an account of how
they hear niy ssrmons. "I must give an
account of how I preach to them. Yon
have robbed God. Old i Malachi . said, '
' You owe one tenth to God.' You would
not break into a store and steal, but you .
will rob God. You had just as well
break into a store and steal as to rob
God. You had just as well rob your fel
low man as to rob God. It is God's law
that you owe him one tenth. It you do
not give this, you are robbing God.
Jesus said 'I am not come to destroy the
law, but to fulfill it." If tho church of
God would pay what it really owes to tne
Lord, we could pay al of our church debts
and have plenty to spare. '
"Have you backslidden! Have you

CHICAGO, July 3.--(By the Asso
ciated Press.) Railway strike interest
which centered over tho week-end on
the walkout Saturday of shopmen whoso
union holds iu its ranks 400,000 men,
today turned to developments depend
ent upon the canvass at Detroit of tbo
strike vote of 400,000 maintenance of
way employes and action by their
union officials. Two days of the strike
of shop craftsmen has failed, according
to reports, to interfere seriously with
transportation, or to produce a definitq
statement of the number of men ont.
Edward Y. Grable, president of the
maintenance of way employes, who re
turned to Detroit after conference! hero
with ofiicials of other unions, today ap
parently held the key to tho strike sit
uation and upon him hopes for avert
ing- further walkouts largely wera
banked. -Claims on the completeness;
and effectiveness,.' of tho shopmen's
strike differed according to tho sourees.
Union officials asserted the walkout
was virtually 100 per cent and would
seriously hamper railroad operations.
Railway executives tentatively fixed 90
per cent as the maximum number out,
Iu some rail centers plans were la
preparation for replacing strikers with
workers under open shop arrangements
and the New York Central Railroad in
serted quarter pago advertisements in
Chicago papers.
Passenger traffic since the strike be
gan is reported by the roads to have
been exceptionally heavy owing to pre
holiday travel, tourists and vacationists.
Tho railroad labor board, which
failed to forestall the walkout, merely,
marked time pending further develop
ments. .
"Mechanics and helpers wanted on
account of tho action of a number of
our shop and engine house employes,
who left tile service in defiance of the
United States Labor Board, the New
York Central Is in need of: Machinists
and helpers; boilermakers and helpers;
pipe fitters and . helpers;- electricians
and helpers; tank repairers and help
ers boiler washers; qualified car re
pairmen and inspectors.
"Board and sanitary housing will be
furnished, and ample police protection
provided at all times. , ;
"The United States Labor Boarl: di
rects that all men taking tho place of
strikers- aro to understand they' ;Vlil
not I hi considered strike breakers,' ' and
will l)c protected in their positions,' and
considered as doing a public good." ,
"Wages: Standard as directed by
the United States Labor Board."
OITicialH and clerks also took plaices of
incut of tho Missouri, Kansas k Texas
Railway at Parsons, Kans., yesterday
took off their coats and went to work
in the roundhouses, Motor power su
perintendents 1 and mechanical depart
ment heads worked as repairers under
direction of the shop foremen. :
Officials an clerks also took" places of
striking shopmen in the Ht. Louis dis
trict. It was reported there that strik
ing Pennsylvania shopmen had asked to
be reinstated, fearing they would losa
seniority and pension rights, but the
report, could not bo verified.
Advices of the first impairment of
train service came from Corbin, Ky
where it was said Lick of motive equip
ment has forestalled the movement ' of
2,400 cars of coal. At least ono pas
senger train was delayed for more than
an hour, it was learned.
Shopmen' of the Michigan Central,
who walked out at Jackson, Mich., have
been given until July 15 to return, ac
cording to a notice posted by thetom
pany. Unless the men eome back, Gen
eral Manager Hhearer is quoted as say
ing that the railroad probably will
close down permanently a large part
of the shops in Jackson ami have' the
work done in eastern shops. This would
leave l00 or moro local shopmen with
out employment. y
.Harry L. Nelson, chairman of tha
Nashville,- Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railway system shop, crafts, issued ' a
statement, at Nashville, Teun asserting
that the policies and unfairness to labor
were mixed in tho rail board -decision.
He said that with the exception of ono
increase granted in July, 1920, every
decision handed down has been against
the employes;
"The decisions, except wages, that
have been divided against the railroad.
i have been . disregarded by the largest
. ,, . T .
reason: The , three representing th
railroads will represent only the rail
roads, the labor members will repre
sent labor and the whole question, or
power, will be in the hands of thosa
representing the publie who, as a rule,
will be politicians or corporation law
yers who know nothing of the practical
side of railroading."
He charges that Judge "Bjron, whf
member of the publw group aul
ucsee, received &;.
