NINETEEN
DIE IN A
WRECK
(Ily United Press Kmm4 Wire.)
NEW OKI-KANS, L,a., Nov. 11.
Nineteen pOTMMM were instant
ly killed and 48 otliera injured
near Montz, 1.a., early today
when an excursion train on the
Ya/.00 and Mississippi valley iail
roud collided with a freight train.
The excursion train was filled
■witht pleasure seekers returning
to their homes after spending
Sunday in New Orleans. The
freight plowed its way through
several of the excursion coaches,
some of the bodies or the victims
being so badly mutilated that It
is impossible to determine either
sex or color.
The bodies of 13 unidentified
victims have been brought to the
New Orleans morgue. The death
list may be increased.
Thirteen persons were killed
outright, six later dying at tne
charity hospital here.
The dead Include seven white
persons, the rest being negroes.
The accident, It Is said, was
caused by a misunderstanding of
orderß. The excursion train had
stopped at a tank for water when
an express freight train, running
50 miles an hour, crashed into
the rear end. Three of the ex
cursion coaches were telescoped,
the engine grinding 13 persons
to pieces.

PHRENOLOGIST DISCOVERS WHAT WOODROW
WILSON HAS IN HIS WONDERFUL CRANIUM
Jessie A. Fowler, World's Greatest Phrenologist, Personally Examines the Winning Candidate's
Bumps for The Times.
The Times is most fortunate in being able to secure this analysis of Gov. Wilson's character by
Miss Fowler, the greatest of living phrenologists. She made an exhaustive personal study of the
president-elect's head recently in a New York photographic studio, immediately after the victorious
candidate sat for a portrait study. In this article she tells what she found.
FLOODS
RISING
Commissioner Woods Is on the
anxious seat today over the
floods in the low ports of town.
At East 52nd and I street the
water has been damned back by
street grading work, and there is
a large lake formed. This has
gradually risen until the water is
threatening three residences.
A call of alarm came from the
residents this morning, and
Woods has a large gang of men
out there digging to try to let
the water off, but it is rising so
fast he is not sure he can get it
lowered in time to prevent the
people from having to take to
the second story or get into boats.
Czar FeiJinand of Bulgaria,
who personally Is leading the as
sault on Constantinople, would
hardly dare, It 1b pointed out, at
tempt the occupatldn of the city
If euch a move were opposed by
the bluejackets landed by the
powers. The landing of foreign
forces, It Is believed here, will
soon be ordered. Even Russia
admits that permanent occupa
tion of Constantinople Is not de
sirable.
Reports of a Christian mas
sacre In Constantinople Saturday
are not credited here
Latest dispatches say the gov
ernment is disarming the popu
lace, but the fact that England
and American residents are en
trenching at Robert college, an
American institution. Is consid
ered significant.
OFFICIALLY IT IS
MT. TACOMA
An attempt will be made
to have the name ">l(. Kittii
ter" changed to "Mt. Ta
runis" on official American
maps. The New York Even
ing Post has related to the
name "Mt. Rainier" as being
objectionable and has ad
vised "Mt. Tacoma" as pre
serving the Indian name.

HV JKKSIK A. KOWLKII.
President-elect Wilson, I find, is a peer among his fellows for
organizing ability and power to direct and block out work.
He is essentially a man of thought and reflection, and second
ly a man of action, but his action is always preceded by his thought.
usuai gru; nence ills muscular system and substantial framework
are sustained, and he shows much tenacity of mind and body.
His height and distinct outline of features denote the motive
temperament, which accompanies the energetic, executive, percep
tive, fact-gathering and scientific faculties.
He is eager for knowledge. A smattering of any subject wllf
not satisfy him. He goes to the root of any question he studies
REASONING CHARACTER.—He reasons about his work'ir a
philosophic way, and the faculty of causality gives him capacity td
reason from cause to effect.
PERCEPTIVE CHARACTER.—His perceptive trend of mind
gives him a wonderful memory of events and enables him to keep
In his mind's eye facts and minutia concerning what is taking place
around him.
ANALYTICAL CHARACTER.—When examining Woodrow
Wilson's head, I remarked that one of the chief sources of his in
tellectual power came from his phenomenal analytical faculty, which
enables him to remember, classify and compare historical events
ANIMAL TENDENCIES SMALL.—He is not a man to be car
ried away by his appetites or passions. - -
INTUITIVE CHARACTER.—Gov. Wilson Is quite intuitive In
his perception of character, but he may not always trust to his In*
tuitions.
. His sympathies are quite strongly represented through his large
organ of benevolence. Although he does not alter his views simply
to agree with people, he Is liberal-minded enough to make allow
ances for a wjde latitude of other men's minds.
INDEPENDENT CHARACTER.—The crown of his head Indi
cates that he has an independent spirit, Is manly, rather dignified,
persevering in his work, knowing how to overcome impediments.
He has not a business type of head nor a large development of
acquisitiveness.
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENT?—He will make a thoughtful,
dignified and considerate president, not one to yield to persuasions,
yet desirous of being sufficiently popular to carry out reforms that
he thinks necessary. What failures he may make will not be
through lack of thought, but rather Incapacity to carry out his plans.
TACOMA, WASHINGTON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1912.
TEMPERAMENT. — Gov. Wil
son is largely of the mental-mo
tive type, which enables him to
use his brain with less fatigue
than the average man. He can
keep up his nervous energy by
conserving his strength, and ac
complish as much in a quiet way
as those persons who exercise
great vehemence.
He will need to guard against
his tendency to take on too great
i a variety of work without allow
-1 ing himself time for food or rest.
His temperament will not Incline
him to take much leisure. Were
his features more filled out and
his body more rotund, such
night be the case. Personally it
night be an advantage to him to
idd 10 or 15 pounds weight by
ndulging in more leisure. The
activity of his brain absorbs a
large portion of his circulation,
and his nutritive system Is not
bo much to the fore as I would
like to see.
He Is wiry, and possesses un-
MEASURE
ALL CARS
Commissioner Mills, with De
tective 1). O. Smith went down to
the street railway barn today to
start the work of measuring up
the cars and inspecting the prop
erty of the company under the
new ordinance passed last week
by the council.
Whin the cars are measured
the capacity will be posted, and
it will then be unlawful for the
company to allow more than the
•opacity to get on.
The street railway officials
hav«* signified an intention of as
sisting the city to enforce the new
law.
The council was informed this
morning that the pipe for the
third unit of the Green river
gravity water system has been
shi|>i«d from the factory, and
will be here later. The work is
being held back by the failure of
the pipe to get here when it
should.

the mayor this morning complaining of the noise on the wa

LONDON, Nov. 11. —The lib
eral administration was defeated
today in the house of commons
by a vote of 22S to 20C on tlie
financial clause in the Irish homo
rule bill. If the usual course la
followed, the administration will
resign, appeal to the country and
a general election follow.
I'nless this election results In
a victory for the liberals, home
rule will be lost. It the cabinet
resigns, it means an entirely
fresh start will be takeji in the
new parliament.
The house of commons ad
journed amid great excitement.
The vote of defeat for the gov
ernment came on a question or
fered by Sir Frederick Bftnfeorjr,
conservative, providing that In
case Ireland was unable to sup
port itself by local taxation and
was forced to ask the assistance
of the imperial treasury the
amount of relief should be limit
