DETROIT. Mich, April 15.~—To the
inexperience of a student motorman
is charged the death of :fourtoen’ per-
sons, ten of them women, who were
killed last night in a collision between
a street car and a freight train on the
tracks of the Detroit, Toledo and iron-
ton railroad in the western end of this
city. According to the police. the un-
explained inactivity of the student's
instructor also contributed to the ills
Twenty-eight other persons
were injured. four of them so seriouslya
that their death is believed to be cer-
tain. Early today only seven of the
dead had been identified and it was
said at the morgue some of the bodies
are so terribly mutiiiated that their
identification will be impossible.

The Scripture that fortued the basis
of the lecture was Prev. 15:13,
