San Francisco, Sept. 1' .—After hav- ing served thirteen years in San Quen- tin penitentiary it has developed that Willlam Evans, one of the convicts, is an innocent man. Proof positive that he did not commit the crime for which he was sentenced Is now in the hands of the proper authorities. The judge who passed the sentence declares Evans is innocent; the man who pros- ecuted him made deathbed statements that he was innocent and in a short time Evans will be allowed to leave the penitentiary. Evans was convicted in Amador county of burglary and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 18.— A powerful racing automobile oceu- pled by seven prominent Elks and a chauffeur and built to hold but three passengers, while running at a terrific rate, crashed into a telephone pole at the bottem of the West Hurfando Street hill here and was wrecked. Four of the occupants were killed and the others were more or less seriously hurt. The bodies of the dead were mangled almost beyond recognition, The dead are: W. H. Ralston, a dealer in electrical supplies; H, Winnal; John 8. Grey, formerly of New York, and Britton L. Graves, druggist, The party had been to the Elks® clubhouse at Manitou to attend. a so- clal session and were returning home, The accident happened at 3 a. m.,, just after the automobile, with its merry, jesting passengers crowded into the two seats, on the hood and on the steps, plunged at a terrific clip down the hill. ’ A. W. Markscheffel, who was driv- ing, in some manner lost control of the wheel and the powerful machine, swerving from side to side across the car tracks, ran into the gutter. For fully fifty feet the heavy car plunged onward, the right front and rear ‘wheels running in the gutter and the two left wheels a foot higher on the curb. Suddenly the right front wheel struck some object and the machine, turning around, was thrown a distance of about forty-five feet down the hill. The car probably would have whirled down the hill for a still great- er distance but for a telephone pole which barred the way. It was this pole thai probably caused the death of two and possibly three of the victims. Grey was thrown out of the car and jammed against the telephone pole. The entire left side of his face was flattened and his skull was laid open, the impact tearing the top of his head almost in two. Ralston evidently was thrown against the pole or against the board fence on the other side of the walk. His skull was fractured, as was that of Winnal. Winnal was hurled a dis- tance of fifty feet. NUMBER OF PERSONS HURT Northwestern Freight Hits Rear of Passenger Train. Racine, Wis.,, Sept. 18.—Slippery ralls caused a collision between the head end of a southbound freight and the rear end of a northbound passen- ger train on the Chicago and North- western railway, resulting in the in- jury of several passengers and the demolition of a passenger coach and diner. Rev. Henry D. Robinson of Racine college and Rev. McMillan of the same institution narrowly escaped being killed. They occupied the front seat of the coach on the side where the freight struck it. Glass and pieces of the wreckage struck them, but they were not hurt. Prompt action by Engineer Henry Padden of the passenger train alone averted a serious wreck. Realizing a collision was inevitable he put on full steam and almost got in on the siding when the freight struck the coach and diner, RAIN AND ELECTRIG STORM Milwaukee Reports Worst Disturbance of the Year.

Chicago, Sept. 18.—The Tribune says: The 329,240,000 fine impased on the Standard Oil company by Judge Lan- dis in the federal court recently will be wiped out of existence ‘on a tech- nicality if the schemes of the Stand ard Oil lawyers are carried to frui- tion. The line of action which may result in the hig fine becoming nothing but a name revolves around the decision of Judge Landis in the Alton im- Inunity case, which is set for hearing on Sept. 24. In the event, that the Alton is grant- ed the immunity, which, it has been fully establivhed, was promised to the railroad through.agreement with for- mer Attorney General Moody, the Standard Oil attorneys will demand that Judge Ltandis’ fine be set aside.

Paris, Sept. 18.—The French gov- ernment is greatly encouraged by the improvement in the Moroccan situa- tlon and strong hope is entertaimed that the rebellious iribesmen, whom the delegates who conferred with Gen- eral Drude on Sunday are now con- sulting, will agree to the peace terms, which include: First—The punishment of the au- thors of the Casa Blanca massacres and the ringleaders of the movement. Second—An agreement that no tribesmen shall enter with arms with- in a radius of twelve kilometers of the city. Third—The acceptance in principle of the payment of a War contribution, the amount of which will be fixed hereafter by negotiations between the Moroccan government and France and Spain. Fouth—The surrender of hostages to insure the fulfillment of these con- ditions.

The delegates of the Moorish tribes expected to give the final response of the tribesmen Thursday.
