A FAST  TRAIN  LEAPS

FORTY-FOUR  INJURED
Limited Express Struck  a
Gross Over  at Full
Speed and Left

Bu Associated Press.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., July 11.—-The
Federal Express, one of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad's fastest trains, carrying passengers without change from Washington
to Boston, plunged down a twenty-foot
embankment here today while running
sixty -miles an hour. Of one hundred
passengers that went down with the
first six cars scarcely one escaped
death or injury.
Sixteen bodies bad been taken out
of the twisted wreckage by noon, Including the engineer and fireman, who
were so mutilated that it is evident
they must have met instant death.
This probably completes the death list.
Forty-four injured are in the hospitals,
and nearly a score more received injuries not severe enougn to prevent
them from continuing their journey.

Four unidentified men, one a negro.
' Five unidentified women.
One unidentified child.
Struck Cross-Over,
A new "cross-over" Installed on the
Purr road viaduct and embankment on
file western outskirts of the city was
indirectly responsible for the accident.
The train was late and the engineer
was driving to make up lost time.
When the heavy vestlbuled train of
nine cars struck the switch at full
speed the locomotive leaped, rocked
and swayed over the ties for nearly
ISO yards and finally fell to the street
below, dragging six cars down the
hank. The coupling broke between
the sixth and seventh cars, leaving
three sleepers upright on the embankment, two of them still on the rails.
The express left Harlem river an
hour late. It was going at high speed
when the open switch, a mile and a
half west of the Bridgeport station,
was struck. The switch was near the
tower at the junction of Fairfield
avenue and State street. There was
one tremendous crash, an Instant of intense silence and then the groans and
shrieks of the wounded.
A Complete Wreck,
The wreck was almost complete, five
cars having gone over and only three
rars of the long train being left on the
track. The engine, twisted into Junk,
was two hundred feet south of Fairfield avenue. Behind were the mail
and baggage cars, while the Pullmans
and; coaches ware In a mass in the
rear.
The day coach was entirely crushed,
and in it the death! were many, five
bodies being removed at once.
Pullmans Crumpled,
Three Pullmans were almost - completely crumpled up, but appearances
were that the passengers were In a
measure protected by the strength of
the cars.
With firemen, policemen and doctors
working as fast as possible the dead
and injured were laid out upon the
lawn of Mrs. B. A. Horan in Fairfield
avenue. As fast as the ambulances
came the injured were sent to the hospitals.
Babe's Miraculous Escape.
In the wreckage of the engine was
found a body thought to he the engineer, who had died at his post. A
babe about a year old was found in
one car. It was alive and had become
separated from Its mother, Mrs. W. V.
Clephane of Cherry Creek, Md., and its
aunt, Miss Beatrice Clepnane, both of
whom escaped with minor injuries,
chiefly wounds on the nead.
. In another coach Mrs, Whatonm of
Philadelphia was taken out alive, but
her child was dead under her. Mrs.
L. W. Page, of 2,223 Massachusetts
avenue,'^Washington, D. &, who was
w|th her maid and child, escaped with
minor hurts.
Ball Team Escaped.
The members of the St. Louis National league baseball team, on their
way to Boston, who were in the last
Pullman, all escaped injury. Their
car Stayed on the track, but its sudden
I atop at the moment of the crash threw
every one of the ball players ou of his
berth. Without waiting to dress completely, the players hurried,from their
'jeaw, etttabed down   the   viaduct   and
spent a strenuous two hours helping
railroad men, policemen and surgeons
at their work in the wreckage.
As a matter of fact, the mistake of
a switching crew in the New York
yards probably saved the lives of most
of the players. When the team boarded the train out of Philadelphia, they
were in the fourth car from the engine, but when the cars were taken off
the ferry after circling Manhattan
Island, the switchmen accidentally put
their coach at the end of the train.
All of the team's baggage, including
their uniforms, was lost in the wrecked
baggage car.-

Heavily  Armed  and  Will

By Associated Press.
BALTIMORE* Md., July 11.—
Cheered by about fifty rural admirers,
Charles K. Hamilton and Harry N.
Atwood, the daring Boston aviators,
gracefully ascended from a small knoll
on the west end of Walter B. Town-
send's estate at Stemmers Run, Md.,
a.t 4:35 o'clock this morning and made
a magnificent start for College Park
on the last lap of a record breaking
overland flight from Boston to the national capital.
The weather conditions could not
have been better. The sun had lust
peeped above the eastern horizon and
the light southwest winds fairly carried them from the ground at the first
turn of the motor. Ascending to an
elevation of about 300 feet, the aviators skimmed gracefully over the little
group of spectators, and, with a farewell wave, headed to the southwest,
and in a few seconds disappeared from
view over the wooded hills.
Not Slightest Hitch.
Both the men and the machine were
in excellent working condition and
there was not tne slightest hitch. After five hours of restful sleep Hamilton and Atwooci arose about 3:46
o'clock and after breakfast they went
into the field and prepared for the
flight.
A rigid examination was made of
the motor and planes, the biplane was
towed to the top Of the hill, the tank
filled with gasoline and the start
made. The Pennsylvania railroad
tracks were followed to Bay View
Junction, then changing the course a
little more to the westward the aviators flew over the southern and eastern outskirts of the city,, passing over
historic Fort McHefiry at 4:55 a m.,
covering a distance of nearly twelve
miles in half an hour.   .
Saluted by Soldiers.
More than two hundred soldiers
stationed at the fort, who bad received
word beforehand that Atwood and
Hamilton intended to pass over the
historic ramparts, were ready to greet
them. They assembled on the parade
grounds and when the aeroplane
whizzed over their heads they fired a
salute. Time did not permit the aviators to circle tne fort, but in return
to .the soldiers' salute, they waved
their handkerchiefs.
Leaving Fort McHenry, Atwood,
who was steering, headed the machine
toward the Patapsco and followed the
river, passing over Halethorpe aviation field at 5:07 a. m.
Again taking up the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks at this point the pace
was quickened and the distance of
about twenty-flve miles between the
two aviation fields was covered In thirty-six minutes.
DARING AVIATORS
ALIGHTED SAFELY
Only
a Few on  Hand to
Greet Them.
WASHINGTON, July 11.—Tired and
hungry, but otherwise showing no ill
effects of their trip from Stemmers
Run, Harry N. Atwood and Charles K.
Hamilton alighted from their aeroplane on the field of the army aviation
school at College Park, Md., near this
city, at 6:45 o'clock this morning.
They had covered about forty miles
at an average altitude of 600 feet
Some time was lost by following the
tracks of the Pensylvanla railroad,
which were mistaken for those of the
Baltimore and Ohio.
The flight was devoid of mishap and,
except for being thoroughly fatigued,
the aviators would have continued on
to this city in their machine.
The officers and members of the signal corps attached to the aviation
school were still asleep when the aviators arrived, and but for a few mechanicians who were assembling' for
work there was no one on the field
to greet them. The machine was run
Into one of the hangars at the field
and at 6:30 a. m. the aviators started
for Washington in an automobile to
get their breakfast and a short rest.

WIPED
JAPAN AND ENGLAND
TO REVISE TREATY
Late   American Pact   Has
Changed Things.
By Associated Brum.
TOKIO, July 11.—A revision of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance Is regarded as
the inevitable outcome of the Anglo-
American arbitration treaty. There is
reason to believe'that negotiations for
such a revision have been going onv for
several weeks. ' It is reported that
Great Britain proposed to modify the
clause providing for mutual assistance
In the event of war, ma King the provision inapplicable in the event that
either party to the alliance is fit (ting a
nation with whom the other has concluded a general arbitration treaty.
It is understood that Japan readily
agreed to this proposition, and the Associated Press is informed that the
readiness of the Japa'deWe government
to accept the suggestion was due to its
entire confidence that Japan would
never be at war with either the United
States or England. The revision probably would involve the extension of
the term of the treaty alliance for ten
or twelve years.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.—Con-
sideration of strictly educational
problems of the National Educational
association began today. President
J. H. Baker of University of Colorado
spoke tonight and declared that a
child that suffers no hardships is on
the way to perdition.
The high schools of the United
States were-held up as the world's
greatest factors for democratic living at today's session.
The assertion came in the report
of the department on high schools
and was in line With the request made
last year by the department on high
schools, that the colleges revise
their entrance requirements in such
a way that the high schools meet
modern needs.
The report cites the criticism of
the Carnegie foundation that American education, from elementary school
to college, is suffering from the" attempt to teach too many subjects to
the same student at the same time.
