MISTAKE RESPONSIBLE. Dead Motorman, Crushed Beneath the Wreckage, is Alleged to Have Overrun His Orders; Cars Telescoped, Detroit, 'April 28.

Two large interurban trolley cars on the Detroit, Jackson and Chicago railway, a Part of the Detroit United Railway system, running from Detroit to Jack-sen, collided head-on this afternoon, while running about 45 miles an hour, 25 miles west ofere near Ypsilanti. Nine men were killed and about o0 men and women injured, some of them seriously. All of the severely wounded were taken to the University hospital at Ann Arbor. A mistake in orders on the part of Motorman Fay of the Hmited car, who was crushed to death his car, is alleged to have caused the ccllinion. It is charged that he- overran his orders.

The limited car, com'ortablv filled "with about 40 people, left Ypsilanti at 2.17 for Detroit. The running time of the car was changed today and reduced so that. Motorman Fay left Ypsilanti 10 minutes earlier than he had been accustomed to. This is thought by some to liavi? been responsible for his mistake. Instead of stopping at Harris switch, about two miles west of the scene of the accident, where, it is said by tile oificiais of the road, the cars should have passed, the limited rushed by the crossing point at high soeed.

As it rounded a curve four miles oast of Ypsilanti the local car flashed into view, also running at high speed. It was a hopeless effort to try and stop the heavy cars and they crashed together with terrific impact. Motormar Wingrove of the locar car jumped when he saw that the collision was inevitable, but Motorman Fay stuck to his vestibule. The local car telescoped the other for nearly 30 feet. Hardly a passenger escaped injuries of some sort.

Bruises and cuts from broken glass were general among those who had fortunately escaped more serious wounds. A relief car was. sent to the scene from Ypsilanti and carried the severely injured to the hospital at Ann Arbor. CONFIRMS $500,000 THEFT. Chief Two Mail Bags Stolen.

There the game ended. Harry's weeping team mates and members of the Hopedale grammar school nine, against whom he was playing, tenderly removed the body from the field, where a doctou, who was summoned, examined him and found life extinct.

Bv an overwhelming vote President Roosevelt's four battleship program failed today in the Senate, just, as it did in the House. The amendment for four'bat-tleships was introduced by Senator Piles, and the fight for its adoption was led by Senator Beveridge. Twenty-three votes were cast for the increased program, the number largely being made up of recently elected senators. Fifty senators voted to sup-uort the House, and the recommendation of the Senate naval committee in favor of building enly two battleships. The debate on the amendment lasted three days, to the exclusion of all other matters.

It was begun by Senator Beveridge with an eloquent appeal for the support Of the President. At times the discussion came near 'becoming acrimonious especially sharp exchanges occurring between Senators Aldrich and Beveridge. Ht was developed by Senator Allison during the debate that there is a well Refined understanding among the Senate leaders for the authorization of two battleships each year, until the American navy is regarded as sufficient to meet any demands that may be made tmon it. As finally passed, the bill carries appropriations aggregating and provides for the construction of two battleships and two colliers and the purchase of three additional colliers, the construction of submarines and other necessary craft, and increases the pay of officers and enlisted men, as well as increasing both the pay and the strength of the marine corps.

He called attention to the fact that, this resolution had been reported promptly, but said that the car shortage bill had been before the committee two sessions and had not been acted upon. "Why, that bill has had more consideration than any other measure before the committee," replied Mr. Elkins 'hotly.

"That's just the trouble: it has had nothing but consideration," responded Mr. Culberson. "Why don't ybu move to discharge the committee then, if you don't, like the way it is proceeding?" asked Mr. Elkins. "There wilt be time for that, and let me assure the senator that it will be done if action is delayed much longer on this bill," said Mr.

Culberson. If this resolution or some measure for the same purpose is not "passed before Friday the railroads of the country will be subject to heavy fines for every car load of freight they haul -in interstate commerce which is owned or produced wholly -or in part by the railroad carrying it. It applies particularly to coal railroads, but excepts lumber railroads. FOUR CHARGES HEARD. Evidence Taken on Only One Against District Attorney Jerome.

Charters and Flags Only Saved in Johnsbury Fire, Headquarters of Grand Army and Relief Corps Swept Away by Flames in Old Building and Firemen With Difficulty Prevent General Conflagration. St. Johnsbury, April 27. (Special) Only splendid work by the fire department, prevented a fire which today gutted ihe upper part of the old build ing occupied by the Grand Army, Wo- man Relief corps, tenants and stores, from spreading through the entire I business section. A heavy wind was blowing when the flames were discov-j ered coming through the roof, which was then falling in, and but little of I the contents of the building could be saved.

The loss, will amount to over $2000; only, partially covered by in- surance. i The fire is supposed to have start-! ed from a defective chimney in the bakery of George 1. Greene, on the i street floor. The flames quickly I spread to the second floor, occupied Dy tenants, and trom mere to the upper portion of the building. The structure was one of the oldest in the town and burnt like tinder.
