WM. H. TAFT- Nine Killed; Sixteen Injured. Cartersville, 0*. —Nine men are known to have been killed, one fatal ly Injured and fifteen hurt In a ter rific head-on collision near here be tween a Western and Atlantic work train and a Louisville and Nashville freight. Six other men are mlsslsng, and their bodies lie beneath the . wreckage. This has prevented the i railroad from burning the splintered remains of the cars as the quickest means of clearing the tracks. The misunderstanding of flag orders was 1 the cause of the wreck. Noted Revolutionist Killed. Tegucigalpa. Hondura.—Gen. Jose Maria Valladares, the noted revolu tionist. who, in years past, has caus ed much trouble in the governments of Honduras and Nicaragua, has fo mented his last uprising. He was killed by government troops in a skirmish near OJojona, his native town, which Ilea twenty-five miles southwest of the city of Tegucigalpa. The last uprising of Valladares was short lived.

CHOLERA AMONG THE TURKS Soldiers Dying of the Plague—Believ ed That Fall of Constantinople It Very Likely. London,, England.—The Bulgarian attack on the Tchatalja lines goes on unrelentingly. More Turkish posi tions have been captured, but their location has not been indicated, in ac with the invariable Buiga rlan plan never to reveal information to the enemy. There is another request that Mo nastlr has been captured. This and the capture of Dibra, an Important town .in Albania, by the Servians at tear heavy lighting, constitute the military news of Importance. \ Some idea of the bloody nature of this war may be formed from the fact that it is now estimated that 150,000 men have been put out of action on both sides since the opening of hos tilltles. The dtapatch of 100 Uiemas to the front with the avowed Intention to stir up religious fanaticism in the army Is interpreted as the counsel of despair. There Is no confirmation of the re port that the Turkish government has opened direct negotiations with the allies. Turkey's Immediate object ap pears to be to gain time, hoping for something from the rivalries of the European powers. She is also making urgent diplomatic efforts to prevent the [Julgarian troops from entering Constantinople. In this connection, there is an idea prevalent In Sofia that some Important diplomatic action Is afoot to this end. Constantinople.—The outbreak of cholera is assuming serioUß propor tions. Twenty-three cases had occur red among the troops along the Tchat alja linos. There are many more BUS pected cases among the wounded. A tralnload of wounded has just reach ed here, eight of the soldiers having died on the way, presumably from cholera. . The disease is getting a firmer hold on account of the massing of troops, the lack of food and the complete ab sence of sanitary arrangements. The danger to Constantinople Is great, on account of the Influx of refugees. Al ready several suspected cases among the latter have been reported. The authorities are preparing a special quarantine hospital, with 400 beds, at Slrkejl. ' Allowance of $3,333 for Astor Heir. New York. —John Jacob ABtor, the Infant son of Mrs. Madeline Force As tor, will have an allowance of $3,333 a year for his support during the next three yeurß.

Want Convicta to Be Paid. Baltimore.—At a mass meeting un der the auspices of the American Prison association, which is In an ntial congress here, Mrs Maud Bal lington Booth of the Volunteers of America urged the delegates to use their influence in having enacted leg islation which will give compensation to the families of convicts during their imprisonment.

John Chrisltzberg was shot and fatal ly wounded by the unknown negro now sought by the mob. ae trou ble started when the negroes caused a horse to run away. Vaccination Kills Typhoid. Washington.—Medical officers are much gratified with the continued success of anti-typhoid vaccination in the army. Records show that among the 57,000 troops in the United States there have been during the past ten months but twelve cases of typhoid fever and only two deaths. Most o? these cases were among recruits who had not received the treatment, and of the deaths one was an officer and the other was a recruit who had not been inoculated with the anti-typhoid serum. ■ >«■ M ' *>.!■ v.

WOODROW WILSON HAPPY "BILL" MCDONALD BROKE STICK WHILE KILLING HUGE RATTLER. Governor Wilson Spied the Snake and Captain McDonald Attacked. Wilson Going to Bermuda. Princeton, N. J. —President-elect Woodrow Wilson turned away an av alanche of telegrams and messages of congratulation the day after the election and went oft for a brisk walk. For five miles he walked, swinging a heavy black cane, which came to grief on the fourth mile, when Capt. "Bill" McDonald, Texas ranger and bodyguard, tried to kill a rattlesnake. The governor spied the snake curl ing through the leaves and pointed it out to the captain, who borrowed the governor's cane nad killed it, but in doing so broke the cane. The governor's walk exhilarated him, he said. The strain of the cam paign and the excitement of election day had kept him pretty much in doors of late. It was with a long stride and vigorous swing that he set out from his home and out through the university campus to the wooded stretches of country to the south of Princeton. As he pass ed through the campus, students doffed their caps aB they did of old for him and do yet to members of the faculty, one of the time-honored customs of the university. The president-elect stopped at Uni versity field and saw the Varsity eleven go thrt>ugh "secret practice." As he sat with Captain McDonald in the empty grandstand three of the football coaches came over to con gratulate him. They wore Ross Mc- Clave, "Beef" Wheeler and Joe Poe, famous Princeton stars of years ago. As Governor Wilson sauntered into open country he seemed for the first time to relax ftom the strain of the campaign. Obviously he was happy* He swished his way through the sea of autumn-tinted leaves. He jested with the correspondents and moved along merrily as If it were the hap piest day of his life. Professors and their wives waylaid him as he turned his steps through the town and congratulated him Many little children came running to meet him. He stopped and shook hands with the little folks as well as their elders. It was sundown when he reached his home. There he received the correspondents In his study. "I'm afraid there Is not going to much news nowadays." he said, but one of the reporters remarked that some newspapers already were publishing the probable personnel of his cabi net. "Then I guess I had better not read the newspapers," he said laugh ingly, "so as not to prejudice my mind." He was asked If he had any further statement to make about his election. "I'm donfc with statements," he said with a smile. '(Now, I'm going to do a lot of thlnkfhg- not that I haven't done so but there wUI be a better opportunity now to think out the solution of problems that are to be met." Sidna Allan On Trial for His Life. Wythevllle. Va. —Sidna Allen aad Wesley Edwards, two of the Allen clan, who, on March 14 last, shot up Carroll county court, and killed Ave persons, including the presiding Judge, were brought here from Roan oke, where they have been in jail since their capture at DesMoines. These two trials will end tho case. Two members of the clan, Floyd Al len -and his son. Claude, hvae been sentenced to death for their partici pation in the shooting and two era. C, ' « John L. Wilson Dead. Waahington.—John L. Wilson, owner of the Seattle Post Intelligen cer. died at a hotel here of angina pectoris, after an Illness of one hour. His body was taken to his birthplace at Crawfordsvllle, Ind., for burial. Mr. Wilson was a former United States senator. He had served two terms In the house and a part of a third, when he resigned to go to the senate to fill the unexpired term of John B. Allen. He was a brother of Henry Laos Wilson, ambassador to Mexico. NEXT PRESIDENT TO Mil SECRET WORK ANNOUNCES DOOR TO PRIVATE OFFICE IN WHITE HOUSE WILL REMAIN OPEN. THE PUBLIC TO KNOW ALL He Intimate* There May Be Special Session of Congress When He As sumes Charge.—ls Now Attending to State Matters. Princeton, N. J. President-elect Woodrow Wilson proposes to keep the door to his private office in the White House always open and accessible to the public, he announced. Governor Wilson said he had de si led to maintain as far as possible the "open door" policy which he in augurated at Trenton. During his term as Governor he has insisted that the door to his private office never be ;los'ed while he is in it. "Are you going to keep the open ioor at Washington, too?" he was isked. | "1 hope BO," he replied. "I dont know what the arrangements are in ! the White House, but I intand to BO far as possible." j Ills idea is that the Executive of a state or a nation should have no i "locked doors" conferences or trans act any business In his private office that the public could not actually see if they cared t0... "When 1 first took my office as Governor," he said, "I was surprised at the number of people who wnnted to talk to me behind the back of their handß and in whispers." The Governor has never been in the Executive office in Washington, but one of the correspondents drew for him a diagram of Its interior, indicat ing that there were two doors to the left of the entrance which if left open would carry out the idea of giving the public a view of who is talking to' the President in his office. The future President will depend upon the Secret Service men, of course, to keep out cranks and will have a system of ap pointments, but the custom as ob served in Trenton has been that be tween appointments the Governor is "in to everybody." Schrank Enters Plea of Guilty. Milwaukee, WIB. John Schratik pleaded guilty of attempting to mur der Theodore Roosevelt and tn his plea he Bought to distinguish be tween an assault on Roosevelt as a "menace," and an attack on Roosevelt as a citizen.

Six Killed In Powder Explosion, Gary, Ind. —Six workmen were kill ed by an explosion of two thousand pounds of dynamite in one of the pack houses at the Aetna Powder Com pany's plant here. The men who lost their lives had arrived at the plant for the day's work and were repairing one of the packing machines when the explosion occurred. Ohio Approves Amendment. Washington.-—Just a year late* the State Department received the requir ed legal notice of the approval by the state of Ohio of. the proposed consti tutional income tax amendment. Twc afljrmatlve votes are yet required to afford the three-fourths vot« prescrlb- Ed by the Constitution to secure the adoption of the amendment, with ten states yet to be heard from. Corn Clubs Show Record Yields. Washington.—Reports to Director Galloway of the bureau of plant in dustry, indicate record yields in the crops planted by the boys' corn clubs throughout the country, especially in the South. The primary intention is to teach the boys on the farms the possibilities of the land. The boys producing the greatest yields at mod erate e' ense win prizes offered by state officials, county organisations and private individuals. The Depart ment of Agriculture advises as to the method of organizing clubs. - Turks Still Meet Heavy Defeat. Sofia, Bulgaria.—The situation of the Bulgarian troops. Investing Adrian ople and on the Tchatalja line in front of Constantinople ia the subject of many rumors owing to the absence oi any official dispatches from the front. It is known that the Bulgarian troops have opened their attack,on the Telia talja forts but no details of the fight ing have been received. The Bulgar tan and Servian troops engaged In th« ■lege of Adrlanople are working in hearty co-operation. M| . I -k, . ' ••-r * , t *s » '
