Peirce, general 41:Alai- ter of the Bock, Island, and Eldridge E. Wright, aon of Luke E, Wright, former U. S. Secretary of War, were killed in collision of two Illinoie Central trains at Kininina.dy, Ms., about twenty miles from here early to -day. Time trainmen were injured and the other paseengers in the coaches were badly shaken and bruised.. Train ao. 25, known as the New Or- leans Mcpross, was taking water at Kin- inundy, at 1 o'clock, when train No. 3, the Panama Limited, ran into the rear of No. 25. The killed were in the private car of Mr. Melcher. Their bodies were found beneath. the 'berths they had occupied. "Four occupants of the private car escaped death OT injury. These are Byron B. Curry, private secretary of Visse-Preeident Meleher, Tho-mas B. Buz - bee, Attorney for the Rock Island, for the States of Arkansas and Louisiana, and two negro porters.. The engine of No. 3 plowed its way through the private cnr evhich was at- tached to No, 25, and was stopped by the steel coaches immediately preced- ing. The impact shoved the standing train for some dietance down the tracks, althougli its brakes were lock- ed. 'The engineer and fireman of the Lim- ited were slightly injured, but were able to take the train south as soon as the wreckage was cleared away. Relief trains left Centralia soon after the wreck to bring the injured and dead to this place. The. Limited carried elect) - ng ean9 only and evithstoed the terrific smashing. The express was composed coae.hos built of steel, The trains were due to pass south of Centralia, but be- cause of No. 25 being late, No. 3 met it at Kinnaundy. It is said no flag man went back from No, 25. Harahan recently retired from the presidency of the Illinois Central road on a pension. Meleber lived at Winnet- ka, and Peirce in Highland Park, suburbs of Chicago. Mr. Wright resided in Memphis. Residents of Kinanundy, a town of 1,- 500 inhabitants, opened their doors to uuccor the injured soon after the news spread of the wreek. TORONTO'S WATER Leakage of Six Million Gal- lons of Water a Day. Toronto, ran. 22. -For 60Me t there has been e, danger that the city's water in the reservoir has been grad- ually dropping and tho reason ascrib- ed by the waterworks department was that the people had been leav- ing their tales running to keep them from freezing. It was learned this morning, however, that the shortage is from quite .another cause, being due, it is claimed, to leakage in the, filtration plant which has already oast the city 6eV011 hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A check W6,3 kept on the water pumped by the pumps at the filtra- tion plant yesterday and it is said that the amount pumped into the fil- ters was fifty-four million gallons, while the amount pumped into the t mains zeone the mean pumping sta- tion at the foot of John street, was forty-eight million gallons or six million gallons les. This is taken to indicate a leakage of six million gallons a day at the filters and an expert aseerts that if it continues this way for a year the filters will be eo completely undermined that )1" they will be ruined. The matter is being discussed by the couneil this afternoon, I VILE MURDER Engineer Robert Stuart, and Ed. Vert, fireman, of the limited, were the two trainmen injured. Both were from Champagne, and were taken to their homes. Stuart wee cut and bruised and Vert's legs were broken. The bodies of the dead were taken through here this morning to Chicago! Tho cause of the wreck is ascribed to scareity of water along the road. A speeial order makes it necessary fur all trains to take water at Kirnmundy aud a freight train width took water before the express held the express longer than ueual. Stuart and Vert were of the freight crew lately put on the passenger train. It 18 believed that they forgot about the order for all trains to take on wa- ter. The flag man on No. 25 did not have time to flag the limited. SON'S AR nr BROKEN. Chicago, Jan, 22. -James T. Hahaha,n, jun., is confined in St. Luke's Hospital here, having recently broken his arm.

Hara- han came to the presidency of the Illin- ois Central Railroad in 1906 through the influence of E. U. Harriman, who had, after a long fight, isucceeded in oust- ing Stuyvesant Fish from the presidency. That fight had its beginning in 1903, according to the late E. H. Harriman, who testified before the Inter -State Commerce Commission, alleged that Mr. Fish had been tieing hie position as president of the Illinois Central "to fur- ther hie own personal interests." Mr. .Fish succeeded in retaining the office of the presidency of the Illinoie Central for a time, but Mr. Harriman continued his warfare against him. In i000 Mr. Fish was superceded by Mr. Harahan as 'head of the Illinois Central, but the fight continued. When Mr, Fish sought through the courts to enjoin the Harri- man interests from voting on Illigoits Central stook held by the Union Pacific, the Railroad Securities Company and tho Mutual Life Insurance Co., Judge Ball, in Chicago, later dissolved a tem- porary injunction granted Mr. Fish and that ended the Harriman -Fish war. locating of the money by Inspector of Detectives Stodg:11.

THE JESUIT OATH Rev. C. 0. Johnston Charged With Slandering Order. Refuses to retract and May be Sued in Court. '114.0110111friale , Toronto despatch: "It is too late in the day to whitewash Jesuitism with a eoat of innocence. I do not accept these various oaths sent me. I shall neither retract, apologize nor loft any sleep." This was the reply of Rev. C. 0. Johnoton, pastor of Queen Street Weet Methodist Church, this morn- ing, when interrogated regarding his possible future action following the receipt from Mr. E. V. O'Sullivan, of Day Ferguson & O'Sullivan, of a copy of what purports to be the real Jesuit oath. Rev. Mr. Johnston said he had re- ceived a "very friendly and gentle- manly" letter from Mr. O'Sullivan containing a copy of the oath, but there was nothing of a legal nature about the communication, and he had received no notice of the rumored action which in some quarters it is said the "Society of Jesus," am the Jesuits are known 'in Canada, con- template taking because of Rev. Mr. Johnston's recent campaign against "I have received two or three copies of what is seed to be the cor- rect oath, and all are different. There is no evideuce that the oath Mr. O'Sullivan sent to Inc is the genuine one, and I am in a. dilemma as to whioh to believe. "You may say for me that if the Jesuits of Oanada wieh Canadians to permit their order to exist without a protest, then they must do one of two things; "Fleetly, show that the history of Jesuitism as accepted by all authorities, is not true, and that Pope °lenient did not suppress the order. "Seeondly, if they are not willing to do that, then let Jesuitism repudiate its past and declare that it has changed. "It is beginning to exist to an alarming extent in Canada. Driven out of Europe, it is taking refuge here, and unless the order is changed there is no telling what harm it may do or how far its political intrigues will upset everything. "I want to add that I am not deal- ing in personalities, but with the sys- tem and the system only. There are many indications that Jesuitism is be- coming a live force in the Dominion." The head of the Order in Montreal has intereated himself in the matter to the extent of securing the legal ser- vices of Mr. E. V, O'Sullivan. Mr. O'- Sullivan has been requested to ask the papers which published the alleged oath to make a fitting apology and to request Rev. Mr. Johnston to do the Game. If the papers do not care to do that and if Rev. Mr. Johneton refuses, the understanding is that Mr. O'Sulli- van 18, to proceed against them for al- leged libel and slander. "I am surprised and disappointed at Mr. Johnston's statement," eaid Mr. O'Sulliva.n. "He has now a copy of the real and only oath and we can prove that no oath is taken or ever was taken by the Jesuits. I thought he would with draw and thus avoid an unpleasant and unnecessary lawsuit. "I don't know what he means when he says that the oath does not dis- close the spirit attributed by history to the Order. They have shown them- selves to be 'honest, self sacrificing, and intelligent men, and there ie not a slur on their character disclosed by any history. "Until I receive further word from Montreal I will not be in a position to say whether the Order will press the case or net. They don't like this kind of notoriety, but it is for them to say. I think that with the present friendly feeling that exists between Protestants and. Wholies that it would be unwise, and personally I would prefer to let the public judge the matter now that the real facts are known," MINP'S WAGES Operators May Offer an Ad- vance of 10 per cent.

LowTemperaturesandTheir Effects on Metals. London, Jan. 22. -Brilliant demons strations are envoys expected when Sir James Dewar lectures. His talk at the Royal Society last night was no excep- tion. Across the great theatre' Sir James had drawn a thermometer sale, such as a giant miscrospe, used for measuring temperatures, but moat of the settle was far down below the freezing point of water, Indeed, it went far down below - even the freezing point of air, and sug- gested cold regions almost beyond hu- man thought. Although he leetured on heat, it was really the absence of heat that he was talking about. In vr‘tpuum vessels ho had stored up liquid air, which he al- lowed to drip from the top of the the- atre, perhaps thirty-one feet above his head, There were even moments when one might almost have expected the fiercely cold liauid to have touched him, but, as he explained, it did not matter at all, as the drops of mid air had long since loet terrors for those who worked with them. Even &Mall drops of liquid hydrogen were allovsecl to drop on the floor from a height of eight feet, Lett these usually vanished in little rings before they reached the floor. The more serious part of Sir James Dewar's lecture had to do with the ef- fect of low temperatures on metals. Somewhere about the condition where there is no heat at all„ all metals and gases seem to be rauch the same. They lose all their usual properties under great cold. Gold, copper and platinum have no resistence to electricity or heat, and almost all other elements lost. what is known as their special heat. The curious thing, according to Sir James, is that none of these things tend toward abeolute zero, no heat at all. All matter appears to obey tempera- tures that are different from those that hold in the warmer world we live in. WILL SPEAK. Churchill Determined to Speak at Ballast.

The Vice -Regal Visit Caus- lug Much Interest. The Duke's Former Visit to the States Recalled. (13y Times Special Wire.) New York, Jan, 22. -The .Uilise of Con. eaeght, Goveenor-teeneral of Caaasiet, the Duchees of Connaught, and their dough ter, Prille0S6 Pairicia and their suite reached. here from tet!teieva this morning foe a social vieit of four days In New York city. The vice -regal party are the guests of Ambassador and Mrs. White- law Reid. The vieit of the Governor- , Generel anti his party marks the first call of royalty to the United States since the visit nearly ten years ago of Prince Henry of Pruseia. The Duke of Connaught and Ambassador Reid have let it become generally known that the visit is a purely personal one, and there is nothing official or even semi-official about it. The journey of the vice -regal party . was made on two special cars, the Corn- wall and the York, end was made with- out ihcident. This Governor-General and family were cordially welcomed at the Grand Cent ra 1 station by Ambassador and hire. Reid, after which the party motored to the home of Mr. Reid on Madison avenue. A party of patriotic Canadians and a number of newspaper correspondent failed to meet the vice -regal party on their arrival, as the train bearing the Royal visitors was run i n tho slab en ten minutes earlier than the 'time for the scheduled arrival, thereby permitting the Duke and hie party, through care- fully laid plans, to eseape the American interviewer. Princess Patricia was the first to alight frofm the train and escort- ed on either side by Col. Lowther, mili- tary secretary to the Duke, rind another gentleman of the party, with a ladyen- waiting, they hurried unnoticed to an t 0 mobile on Fortyeeecond street, and were whirled away to the Reid house. A minitte or so later the Duchess of Con- naught, with a member of her party and two railroad officials ,stopped frem the train and went to an automobile in front of the station. In the meantime the Duke of Connaught etcpeed from the other side of the TiV crt P car, and, en- coded by Ambaesedor Reid, walked un- observed, to an obscure entrance leading 'Itieeliison avenue, where they took an automobile for the Ambassador's house, Hundreds of sio rn mu tars on ineomeng trains passed the members of the vire- regal party in the station', but did not know them. Colonel Lowther said that the visit of His Royal Highness was without political eignifieance, and was simply soeial in character, and that the Goveamor-General had no idea, whet will be done in the way of entertainiese The Colonel remorked that the Duke had long ago promised Ambassador Reid that he would be his guest in New York as Goon as his Government engagements permitted. He added. that the return to Ottawa would be made ilext Thursday afternoon. The first of the social engagements for the Duke of Connaught and his party was a luncheon at noon to -day at the home of Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, following which a sightseeing tour of the city in automobiles may be taken. To -night there will be a dinner nt the .Reid house, at which Cardinal 'Parley, Bishop and Mrs. David H. Greer, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Choate, Mr. and Mrs. Robert T. Lincoln, Major-General and Mrs. Frederick D. Grant and others are invited. A musical programme follows the dinner. In the vice -regal party, besides the Duke, the Duchess and Princess Patricia, are Mies Pelley, lady-in-waiting; Col. Lowther and Captain Beaupre, controller of the vice -regal household.

The stay of the Prince in this city at that time was made memorable by the arrest of several persons on suapicion of being connected with a plot to assassin- ate him, bat the report, it was found. later, had apparently originated in the brain of a policeman. As Prince Arthur, the Duke made a favorable impression wherever he went. On one aceosion when attending a per- formance of Charles Dickens' play "Feolo ter" at Niblos' Garden, organized hissing was started when the orchestra began the Strains of "God Savo the Queen'" but the andience began to cheer and overwhelnied the hisses.

JUSTICE FOR HAMM Canadian Held Two Years in a, Mexican Jail. British 'Government De- mailds Trial or Release, Ottawa, Jan. 21. -After Inaigeishing in prison in Mexico City for over two years without being able to force an issue in the Atexican courts as to his guilt or innoeence, George 1. Ilamzn, a Canadian citizen, and president of the defanet Mexico City Banking Com- pany, will now either have to be prompt- ly releiteed or given a fair trial in the civil courts or elee the Cauadian and Britieli State Departments will know the reaoon why. Correeponde.nco in re- spect to the case has beenunder con- sideration of the State Department here and Of the Peitieh Foreign Office for some time. lematey. action has been -- teken to prevent any further subter- fizges and delays on the part of the Mexican authorities, and if Mr. Hamm, as a British subject, does not forthwith get justice in the Movican courts the Government of the Republic will IR called to task by Great Britain in an umnistakable manner. This is the ulti- matum delivered through the British ambaseador at Washington. The story of the case is. an interest- ing one. Mr, Hamm, a native of Nap- anee, went to Mexioo some twenty-five years ago and by eeergy and ebilite built up a large banereg and general financial business. in 1009 the Mexican City Banking Company, of which he was president, failed with liabilitiesof about three million dollars to the Bank of Montreal, and other large sums involv- ing several millions to New York banks, In the crash the Mexican National Packing Company, in which Mr. Hamm was heavily Interested, also went under. He Was arrested and placed in prison, where he has since remained, while the liquadation of his !Waits went on. In this liquidation it is claimed Mr. Hamra and his luisoeirstes suffered great un- necessary Ices. Mr. Hamm, it is said, was made the scapegoat of others who had a politieal pull with the Diaz Gov- ernment. and with court offioials. Other directors of the wreeked bank were al- lowed to go free. Ile has been kept in prison for two years, without any decree of formal hie. prisonment, as required by Mexican law. Be was ivabjeeted to an baquisition when he was ill, And bad to be attended in eourt• by two physicians. Evidence was. admitted reminist him after the tegaliminary defence case was iclosed, and no opportunity NVOS given to meet it. The trial judge was twice changed during the. progrese of the so-called trial. These are sonic of the geese ir- regularities in the ease. Mr. Haram'e legal representatives have been for months endeavoring to seoure justice for him, but so far without much euccees. The relater has now Leen tak- en up by the Britieh Foreign Office'af- ter appeals to both Ottawa and to the British ambassador to Mexico. It is ex- pected that President Madero will promptly take etepe to comply with the 13ritiell demands for fair play. In the eV011t of further delay, however, the matter will probable' be brought up in Parlinmeot here. Mr. Hamm is well known in Lennox county, where he was horn, and several benefactions in the way. of church m- eans, etC., 03.1110 from him previous to the bank's failure.

My - "We believe," says the report, tthet Ontario is .alsout to enter upon a new era, that the old familiar roads, such as the Lake Shore *Road froin Hamil- ton to Toronto will exist only as memories, and in their stead will be built one of the finest systems of highways on the Ameriean oontinent, State -constructed and maintained. In bringing about this development ti e Ontario Motor League has had no small part. It has tried to educate the public opinion and to bring inrhe- en,ce to bear upon the Government favor of .State-owned highways.. Thc Good Road e Committee had punier - mei conferences with otber bodies, and finally a joint deputation waited upon Hon. Dr. Resume Minieter eS, Public.- Works. 'We were 'delighted to learn that the • Government was with us -that they proposed to build -ens- vincial roads without the aid of the municipalitice, and all that was need- ed was to arrive at an understanding of the division of east with the Do- minion Government, who had declar- ed their intention of aiding Proviu- clal Clovernmente in building leading The report referred to the deputa- tion of several hundred delegates whieh woutd wait upon Premier Bor- den on Februaryse'lith.-qA meet en- couraging feature," it continued, "is that good roads are now, a. popular issee.
