the big men of Wall street were on
the train when it left New York. But
they quit the train and left on it only
a few earnest women who arrived
yesterday and went this morning
after getting a cold shoulder in Chi

who started on the train depart so
suddenly? Was it because the ridic

TWO EXPECTED TO DIE
RESULT OF "L" CRASH
Seven passengers were badly hurt,
two of them expected to die, when a
south-bound Jackson Park "L" train
was sideswiped by a north-bound
Evanston express "L" at the Sherwin
av. crossing of the Northwestern ele
vated line shortly after noon today.
The south-bound track is out of
order at that section, so trains from
both ways have been switching back
and forth. The Jackson park car
was switching over when the Evans7
ton express sailed into it, hitting the
third coach of the train.
The coach was knocked off the
track, but did not topple over qr
leave the trestle. Passengers were
panic-stricken and sought to escape
through, the train doors and win
The seven who were hure were vic
tims of flying splinters or were
caught in the wild rush for safety.
Two of the seven are expected to die.
They were taken to St Francis hos
pital in Evanston.
