man Is Also Killed at
Lansing, Arkansas.
Engineer John L. Nolte, age
60, 244 North Garland Place,
Memphis, and Fireman Ed
Brown, age 29, Little Rock,
were instantly killed Saturday
night at 12 o’clock when the
Sunshine Special, enroute from
Memphis to Little Rock and Ft.

Conductor J. T. Hedgepeth,
Memphis, the remaining mem
ber of the train crew, escaped
uninjured, as did all passen
gers of the coaches, which re
mained on the track.
It is claimed a low place in
the roadbed resulted in the
engine leaving the track. The
huge iron monster shot prob
ably 50 feet, it is said, from
the rails, and then settled,
facing Memphis, the opposite
direction from which it was
traveling.
Engineer Nolte refused to
leave his engine and like a hero
died with his hand on the
throttle. Mr. Brown was
thrown high in the air just
after the engine leaped the
tracks.
In falling with teriffic force
against the ground the fire
man’s head was nearly sever
ed in two parts, and a large
rock was imbedded in the
skull. Mr. Nolte was found
lying in a crumpled heap in
. the engine cab.
! What is considered as a
miracle is that the passenger
coaches remained on the track
with the exception of the bag
gage and mail cars. Neither
| clerk of the derailed cars was
; injured.

CONCERNING PAYMENTS

Ten Per Cent of Amount of the
Subscription Must Be Paid
on Application, Is An
nouncement
Washington, Sept. 23.—Ten
per cent of the fourth Liberty
loan subscriptions will be re
quired on application instead
of five per cent, as for past
loans, the treasury announced
today. Twenty per cent will

ce Appeal, Monday, Sept. 23,
l
for any Liberty loan. The
initial payment was increased
as a m§ans of discouraging
the practice of some persons
in the past of subscribing with
out carrying out the install
ments.
The setting of the last in
stallment of 30 per cent as late
as January 30 was interpreted
as assurance that the fifth
Liberty loan would not be
floated before late in Febru
ary, or possibly March.
The amount of the fourth
loan and the redemption terms
probably will be annuonced
by the treasury.
The initial payment. al
though due at the time of
pledging, need not be paid un
til October 19, the end of the
subscription peroid.
The installment dates will
not interfere with the practice
by which many subscriptions
have bought bonds through
banks or other agencies and
paid 10 per cent a month for
approximately 10 months.
