HE PLACED TIE
CLYDE NICHOLS, 12-YEAR-OLD
KNOXVILLE LAD, DECLARES
THAT HE AND THOMAS BRIGGS
TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN.
HE WANTED TO SEE
THE SPLINTERS FLY
TRAIN WAS SAVED FROM BEING
DITCHED ON HIGH EMBANK­
MENT WHEN TIE WAS SLID
DEN ALONG THE TRACK.
Knoxville, May 20. —(Special.)
The attempt to wreck a Burlington
passenger train at Knoxville last Mon
day night by placing a tie across the
track, was the work of two boys,
Clyde Nichols and Thomas Briggs,
both 12 years of age and both of
Knoxville, according to the confession
made by young Nichols last night.
"We put the tie on the track to see
how far the train would knock it and
to see how far the splinters would
fly," said the boy, when pinned down
by Burlington Detectives Harrison
and Shorts and Deputy Sheriff Cronk
hite„ That the boys were denied the
sight of the spectacle they had plan
ned was only due to the fact that the
train was running at a low rate of
speed on the high embankment where
the tie had been placed. The tie was
picked up and carried on the pilot of
the engine for three miles before
striking a switch and derailing the
engine and forward cars, and the
train was then traveling at a low rate
of speed.
The Burlington detectives suspected
that It was the work of boys from the
first, however, and worked out the
case along that line. They learned
that the two boys had been trapping
gophers along a creek near where the
tie was placed across the track. The
boys were tracked from the creek to
the railroad right-of-way and the
tracks then led to the Nichols home.
Believing that they had the right par
ties the boys were taken to the office
of the sheriff and the story was
brought out. Nichols made a clean
breast of it, but young Briggs stoutly
denied the part his companion de
clared he played in the affair.
The two boys have been playing tru
ant from school lately and may be
Bent to the reform school.
The tie, one weighing nearly 200
pounds, was placed across the north
rail, with one end under the south
rail, firmly jammed in between two
ties. The engine pilot- caught the tie
In such a manner as to.slide it along
the rail for a distance of three miles,
to the Flagler coal switch, where it
caught on the guard rail, and where
the wreck occurred. No particular
damage was done aside from derail
ing the engine, tender and the for
ward truck of the baggage car.
If the train had jumped the track
•where the boys had placed the rail,
there would have undoubtedly
been a serious wreck, with death and
injury to the passengers. The spot
chosen was a high embankment, but
the ground had lately been filled and
the train was proceeding at a low
rate of speed.

Charlotte, N. C., May 21.—
President Taft has come to the
conclusion from consultations with
leaders of both the senate and
the house that the tariff bill will
be in his hands not later than*
June 20. The president express
ed himself positively on the sub
ject today. Taft adheres to the
belief that when the bill does
come from conference it will con

in the generally accepted sense
and that it will be such a measure
as will warrant his signature as
a step in the right direction.

which is produced in his state. The
senate committee on finance has re
duced the house rate and he wanted
the house figure retained.
The senator's attitude aroused, spe

of the chamber and Senator Aldrich
gave special attention to his remarks,
at times noddir.'g and smiling assent
to the proposition of the Virginia sen
ator. The committee's recommenda

WORLD IS FLAT
SAYS DEBATER
MINISTER QUOTES BIBLE TO
PROVE CONTENTION AND
WINS THE DECISION.
Ashville, N. C., May 20.—The theory
of the Rev. J. L. Cooke, preacher of
the Sanctified Sect church, that the
earth Is not round, but flat, and "set
like a hat on a fence post," was sus
tained by the judges of the debate
heid between him and Leroy Henry, a
high school student, in West Ashville,
Tuesday night, on the subject, "Re
solved, That the Theory as Regards
the Rotation of the Earth is Correct,"
the minister capturing three of the five
judges by his potent arguments and
his ridicule of the round earth theory.
The two debaters had a large audi
ence, which was swept away by the
ridicule of the Copernlclan theory by
the preacher. He read from the Bible
to show that the earth had a founda
tion and asked how it could have a
foundation If it were flying in space
without even a string to tie it down.
If the earth is revolving, he main
tained, an eagle flying at the rate of
sixty miles an hour eastward would
find itself in a minute 940 miles west
of where it started, and that if a base
ball was thrown into the air high
enough to stay there a minute it woi\Jd
land in Olive street, St. Louis.
The parson held that it was lack of
Christianity which has made people
believe in the falBe theories of geog-.
raphers, many of whom were infidels,
and triumphantly asked how the
oceans remained in their beds if the
earth flew around in a circle. A ro
tating motion he said, would throw all
the water off the earth would hurl
bowlders from the top of the Rocky
mountains and yank all the tomcats
off the backyard fences into the Mis
sissippi river.
The student made the point that the
earth must revolve, else there would
be no day or night, but the sanctified
preacher floored him by quoting' from
the Bible the command of Moses that
the sun stand still, and asked how the
sun could be made to stand still if
it was already still.
The two minority judges made vio
lent protest against the decision, but
the majority decided for the negative
side of the resolution.

TUCKER WINS SUIT
Wife of Army Officer, Who Is Mrs.
Logan's Daughter, Is Denied
Alimony.
Chicago, May 20. Colonel William
F. Tucker scored a third point against
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Tucker, daugh
ter of the late General John A. Logan,
yesterday, when Judge Barnes refused
to allow Mrs. Tucker temporary ali
mony pending the hearing of her sep
arate maintenance suit.
Two months ago Mrs. Tucker caused
Colonel Tucker to be brought before
the army retiring board, and both she
and Tier mother testified that the
colonel's ill health was due to dissipa
tion. The board ruled otherwise and
retired the army officer on three quar
ters pay.. This was- score one.
The same day Mrs. Tucker started
her suit and asked the courts to en
join Colonel Tucker from leaving Chi
cago for a health resort. Her motion
was overruled and Colonel Tucker
scored again.
Then the daughter of General Lo
gan, coached. It is said, not entirely
by her attorneys, but by her mother,
Mr*. Rahart wiison and son left on Mrs. Logan, demanded a part ot the fees.

Mrs. H. P. Lanasky, 17*1 B. Man
St., Ottumwa. Ia., says: "Mr. Lanan
sky suffered from kidney trouble for
long time and though he dootored and
used various remedies, nothing helped
him in the least. He had sharp shoot*
ing pains In his back, often extending
Into his shoulders, making It Impos
sible for him to stoop or lift. He also
had an annoyipg kidney weakness and
the kidney secretion plainly showed
by their unnatural appearance that
his kidneys were at fault. When Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to his at
tention he procured a box at Bargent'i
drug store and they gave him more re
life than anything he had previously
taken.
