Basing its announcement on find ings as a preventative in further rail road wrecks, he -North Carolina . cor jioration comraisson rendered a decis ion of the wreck of two trains last Sunday evening on the Seaboard Air Line Railway near Hamlet. This is an endorsement of -the block system ami recommends such installation. The commission ordered that a report of :if its findings fee mailed to President Walfers. of the railroad- company. Jhe report sets forth those whowere examined J as "persons having know ledue of ihe facts concerning the wreck. There is also set forth in this rejxirt these several facts: "This wi-eek was caused by the failure of agents of the railroad com pany to observe and obey the rules and regulations of the company gov erning the movement of trains. It would serve no useful purposefor the corporation commission to find which agents are guilty of negligence in this matter, as such finding would not be blading or conclusive upon anv one and might be prejudicial in other in vestigations. The purpose of our in vestigation, as all understand it, is 11. .i ,i i r iinu tne corporation commission miirlit take such measures within its vers as to prevent the recurrence or such accidents. We are satisfied that the wreck would not have oc nirred. had the block system been in operation on the portion of the road wliere it occurred. -The operator at wkingham and the operator at Hamlet, .only .six miles apart, per routed trains to leave these places at about the samelinstant of time, meet each other, and , neither knew l"r, mis nad -been done until the trains were beyond (heir control. This could not have happened under the wnck system. Eight passenger and iceiirht trams besides the'specia "inns daily, go over the Seaboard Air i.u! s snie-track between Hamlet and Monroe. We have no 'power to order the-block system of signals to-be put n operation on this section of the Y'wu hut we do most earnestly rec ud that theSeaboard Air Line -railway install the block system ser- '-e between Hamlet and Monroe as oon as practicable." -' - Charters Granted m 1 il ' tSate chartered the Shelby In- ";: nee oc ileal! y Comnaiw S hrfhv Wl,f $0,000 paid in out of a .total fnihorized capital stoek of $10,000: L.

There were S2 .persons on the yacht, of whom seven were lost, and 12 the other, all ot wiiom oux uis were saved. That not more fell vic tims to the rough sea was. due to the heroism of "Captain Ludlam, of the Hertford Inlet life-saving station, and a crew o five men. It was at first thought that from 14 to 2S per sons had been lost, but atter an-. in vestigation .the'- coroner stated that he believed only eight Nvere lost.

Anglesea is one' of the favorite fish- ing places' along the Southern' New Jersey coast, and has seldom had a busier Sunday. Every excursion train from Philadelphia and other near by points came down crowded with visitors, most of whom Intend ed .spending the day in fishing. The weather in the morning was ideal and at the fishing boats took out large crowds to the fishing banks. After noon, however, a brisk breeze sprung and the captains of the small, craft., hoisted sail -and started 1 for home.' Most of the fleet got in without mis hap, although some of them had con siderable difficulty in clearing the here ford bar. Turned Completely Over. The two that got into trouble were the sloop yatch Nora, Which . had on board Captain Herbert Shivers, his mate ' and 30 passengers, and the sloop Alvin B., with' a party of 12. The Nora had gone to the fishing banks at Five Fathom Bank, about ten miles out lo sea, early in the day. Whe-p. the wind began to .freshen Captain Shivers decided it was time to make port and with the assistance of a small gasoline engine and a good, spread of canvas, he made good tim6 toward Anglesea. As the sloop bowl ed along the wind was getting stiffer and ; the sea rougher. Captain Shiv ers, from long experience, knew how treacherous is the Hereford bar-and approached it with his usual caution. The ".sand obstruction is about a mile from shore.' Just as he was about to go over it a heavy squall struck the Nora. Despite the efforts of the cap tain s the craft keeled over and was hit by a huge wave. The wind and the wave coming together was more than the yacht could stand and it turned completely over, throwing the 32 occupants into the sea. As the boat turned over the iast snapped likq.- a reed." ' There was an "agonizing cry as,. the yacht turned turtle which was quickly silenced when nearly all of the victime disappeared beneath the water. ' -vV The heavy sea probably was respon sible for,jthe saving f: of llNof the suryivors, as the waves' were so rough that the upturned yacht Was tossed about, thus uncovering the struggling victims who, were, underneath. As many as could tried to reach- the keeL but it was a difficult matter, as there was an indescribable tangle of fishing nets, lines, baskets and sail. There was no time to help one an other, as if was all that the strug gling men could ' do to keep ; their heads above the water. One boy, however, Frederick Fisher, aged 15 years, who was found struggling near the; boat, was lifted up on the up turned keel by two men who had tiglit grips on. the vessel. In the un equal, fight against the elements the struggling" men disappeared one by one until only-25 wTere left clinging to the boat. : , . ; V Rescue Barely in Time.

" He was not a moment too soo; , for as he came within a ??oat 's length pi the Nora four . men, weak ened from - exhaustion let go their holds and began floating away. Cap tain Ludlam threw w has boat around and the four half-drowned men were drawn out of the water.

LOIIDOH'OEACE WEEIIfiG Bryan's Rider Unanimously Adopt ed For Arbitration Treaty. Baron de Constant. Blames Germany , For Trying to Rival Xavy of " . the United States. London. William J. Bryan's pro posed rider to the model arbitration treaty, was discussed at a session of the International Council of the In terparliamentary Union and resulted in its being recast as follows:. , "If a disagreement ' should .arise which is not included in those to be submitted to arbitration the contract ing parties" shall not resort to any act of hostility before they separate ly or jointly invite, , as the case may necessitate, the formation of an In ternational commission of inquiry or mediation of one or more friendly Powers', this requisition to take place If necessary ,In accordance with, Arti cle VIII. of The Hague Convention providing for a peaceful settlement of international conflicts." The above was unanimously adopt ed after speeches by.former Austrian Minister' of Commerce Von Plener and Mr. Bryan, warmly supporting the amended rider. The latter said that his amendment was aimed , at widening the scope of arbitration so as , to include questions of national honor, the chances being a hundred to - one that the proposed Investiga tion of facts would i also settle any question of national, honor. If the hand of war could be stayed till the conscience awakened wars would be come more remote. The amendment, therefore, was a, long step in the di rection of peace. 1' s Mr. Bryan's speech was brief, but it was eloquent and aroused much enthusiasm among the delegates. , . Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, head of the French delegation, sub sequently opened the -debate on the limitation of military and naval forpes, asserting that if the Powers were undecided , among themselves now iQ act ior tneir common inter ests they would be forced to do so. first by bankruptcy and then by rev olution. The Baron said that limita tion of armaments had no connection with. t.heIUUmeraJiPf disarmament. The arguments against disarmament were based on the augmented expen diture of the Powers. The augmen tations in the United States were due to the unfortunate example-of Eu rope, but in proportion to the popu lation the American forces had not been increased unreasonably and the expenditure had been augmented proportionately, the armaments prov ing the Inaptitude of the Americans 1.
