Accident Dne to Defective
Air Brakes
Soo Line Passenger Train Struck by
Great Western Engine at a St.
Paul Viaduct and Rolls
Down Embankment
By Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. I.— The Soo
Line passenger train from the east,
leaving the Union Passenger station,
collided with a Chicago Great Western
fast stock train at th« North street
viaduct.
The force of the collision sent five
of the passenger cars down a twenty
five-foot embankment. One passenger
In dead and flvs were seriously In
jured, while a score or more were
elightly bruised.
That no more were killed or Injured
Is due to the fact that the train was
nearly empty, having discharged the
greater number of Its passengers at
the union station here.
The dead:
MRS. CLARA GOFF, Minneapolis.
The serio'isly injured:
Mrs. Du' ;h, Minneapolis.
Mrs. Th< mpson.
H. S. Moore, Montreal.
Mrs. Wilkinson, Minneapolis.
Mr. Martin, Minneapolis.
Air Brakes Fail to Work
Of the injured there are six men
and two women at the hospital. Of
these It is feared two or three may die.
Mr. Martin, who has a fractured skull.
Is In a critical condition.
Twenty were treated at the union
depot by surgeons and nearly all of
them were able to go to hotels or con
tinue their Journey to Minneapolis.
W. E. Haskell, who Is among those
elightly Injured, formerly owned the
Minneapolis Times, but is now con
nected with a Boston newspaper.
The direct cause of the accident was
the failure of the airbrakes on the
stock train to work. The Soo Line
passenger train had Just left the depot
for Minneapolis and was crossing the
Chicago Great Western tracks, about
four blocks east of the station. The
track at this point runs along a high
embankment. The fast Great Western
stock train coming along at a pretty
good speed, struck the passenger train
In the middle. The Pullman coaches
were hurled over the embankment,
landing upside down in a wrecked
heap, twenty-five feet below.
The wreckage caught fire but the
flames were promptly extinguished. A
squad of police and all the hospital
ambulances along with a large corps
of surgeons were on the spot In a
short time and the Injured were quick
ly taken from the \vreck to this city.

HOPE TO SAVE THE STRANDED

Experts Examine Ship on Rocks Near
Fort Point and Announce Possible
Chance of Raising Her — Thousands
of Persons Flock to the Scene of
the Wreck
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I.— There Is
a bare possibility that the steamer Ala
meda, which went on the rocks near
Fort Point yesterday, may be saved.
Capt. Metcalfe, the local representa

tonight cautiously admitted that there
was some prospect of floating her.
Today the greater portion of the sal
vable freight was removed on lighters
and brought into the city. The work Is
proceeding tonight. Ever since the
Alameda struck on the ledge during
the fog, the weather conditions have
been favorable. The sea is smooth and
the wind light. It Is conceded that a
change to severe weather would mean
the Immediate destruction of the
steamer. ■
From the fact that water pours in
and out of the hold with the chang

bottom has been badly perforated. A
diver will tomorrow make an examin

and then plans for floating the steam

POLICE UNEARTH
GANG OF THIEVES
TWENTY-ONE PROFESSIONALS
IN THE CITY
Local Department Has That Number
of Eastern Crooks of National
Reputation Under Con.
stant Surveillance
Twenty-one "yeggs" and cracksmen,
positively Identified by descriptions and
photographs in the rogues' gallery, are
In Los Angeles and everyone Is known
and closely watched by the police.
Though unconscious of it, the knights
of the "Jimmie" and drill were shad
owed all yesterday. Not a move was
made by them but that some officer's
eye was on them.
The police have been startled at the
large number of these clever criminals
who have gathered within a short time
In the city. From every part of the
country these thugs and safe blowers
have been coming to Los Angeles In
small numbers. The cleverest of the
eastern exodus seem to be making this
city their headquarters.
Since the job at the Mathle Brewing
company's plant, the police have been
on the alert ahd after many secret con
ferences between the heads of the de
partments and their best sleuths, It
has been decided that not the slightest
effort shall be spared to rid the city of
the human pest.
An officer famous in local police cir
cles for his work in detecting criminals
and yesterday:
"Yes, there are a great number of crim
inals gathered In Los Angeles. Today I
saw twelve new arrivals in the 'yegg'
colony. I have my eye on them and I
don't think that another job like that
at the Mathle Brewnlg company will
occur right away.
"I tlo not care to say what means Is
being used by the department to cope
with the 'yeggs' and cracksmen who
seem to be gathering here, but I need
not say more, than that we are laying
nets to catch them and although some
of the clever ones think they are 'onto'
our game, they may find they are mis
taken.
Police Are Alert
"So thoroughly are we organized
against these crooks that I think we
will land a large number soon on old
jobs for which they have been wanted
for sometime. Within a few days the
Los Angeles department may be able to
bring; out some startling developments
In this regard."
When questioned along this line,
higher officials of the department
merely smiled and remarked that they
have nothing to say yet. They ac
knowledge that they are working on
this line, but what they are doing is
kept secret. Their plans for a large
haul of "yeggs" seems to be developing
rapidly, according to reliable advices.
Some of the petty burglaries bear the
earmarks of having been done by clever
criminals more used to pulling off
larger jobs. Though nothing has been
given out by the department regarding
these burglaries, it is learned that the
police have a clew to the men impli
cated. ..
One bit of evidence that the police
expect will lead to the capture of a
gang of the most clever burglars and
"yeggs" is an insignificant cigar stump.
Three of these stumps have been found
in houses after burglaries and in every
instance it was the same brand of to
bacco and bore the same teeth marks.
The latest addition to the burglaries
is that of the Wedge saloon, owned by
C. Pieri at 722 North Main street. This
place was entered about 3 o'clock yes
terday morning. No money was found,
but 500 cigars and two revolvers were
taken. Entrance was effected by break
ing down the rear door.

COWS EAT GIRLS' CLOTHES
Pretty Bathers Forced to Walt Until

Special to The Herald.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. I.— While six
young. girls of Otterbeln were disport

In the Wabash river yesterday a herd
of hungry cows descended on an.im
provised dressing room 'which the girls
had constructed of shawls on the river
bank. ■ • ■
Tljese were real hungry cows, and
they were not content merely with
grazing on' the grass that fringed the
bank. They plunged right Into the
dressing room and proceeded to make
the place look as If It had been hit by
a Kansas cyclone.
Pretty frocks were devoured, dainty
lingerie were torn, straw hats were
swallowed with one gulp, as If they
were real hay, and not enough clothes
were left to dress a ballet girl when
the girls appeared and interrupted the
feast.
Shrieks for help filled the air. A
near-by farmer, hearing the outcry, ran
up armed with a pitchfork, prepared to
rescue some heroine from a road vil
lain.
"Stand back!" cried the girls. "Don't
you dare to come here!"
The girls plunged Into the river and
from there held a long distance conver
sation with the farmer.
He promptly drove off the cows and
then made a two mile trip afoot to
their homes, where he got new clothes
for them, and returned in time to avert
the necessity of a bevy of mosquito
bitten lassies walking home in barrels.

of Mr. Loomis in the Taft report on In

Mr. Bowen, formerly minister to Vene

strongly condemned Mr. ■ Bowen's
course. The president quotes Mr. Hay
as declaring that most of the charges
were really against himself (Mr. Hay)
"and not agolnst Mr. Loomis at all,"
and that Mr. Bowen knew that
The statement made public Is as fol
lows:
"In order to make known the facts
concerning a widely current misappre
hension representing certain views of
the late secretary of state, Mr. Hay,
the following correspondence was given
to the Associated Press today:
| " 'Department of State, Washington,
D. C, September 25, 1905:
'Dear Mr. President: For some time
past there have appeared In various
newspapers, including some of the Jour
nals published in New York, state
ments more or less direct, to the effect
that grave differences of opinion existed
between yourself and the late secre
tary of state, Mr. Hay, concerning both
myself and the action to be taken by
you on the findings and report of Secre
tary Taft in the matter of the charges
made against me by Mr. Bowen, a for
mer United States minister to Vene
zuela. I will cite a case In point:
Published in New York
'Not long ago a responsible New York
paper, to which I am reliably Informed
on the best authority Mr. • Bowen has
been freely offering material for use,
printed the following paragraph:. -'';■.
", 'Practically the last official act: of
Mr. Hay's life was to visit the White
House for the purpose of urging the
president not to dismiss Bowen and to
dismiss Loomis, but learning the presi
dent's mind was made up, he went
away with' his message unspoken;', •*:"•;
" 'Mr. Hay. thoroughly disliked and
distrusted (myself) and told the presi
dent so, but was unable to produce any
effect on the president's mind.'
"Similar suggestions, more or less
hostile In form, have so frequently ap
peared in the public prints that I am
constrained to inquire whether, in so
far as you are aware, they are sup
ported by any basis of truth.
"I do not know what private conver
sation may have taken place between
yourself and Mr. Hay concerning me,
and my course of conduct while con
nected with the public service, but I do
know from Mr. Hay's own lips some
thing of his opinion concerning Mr.
Bowen, and I know full well both the
unfailing courtesy with which Mr. Hay
received my many suggestions concern
ing departmental matters and the per
sonal cordiality which he always mani
fested toward me. '
"In December last I went to Mr.'
Hay's house and told him I expected to
resign from the department within the
course of the next eight or nine months.
He was good enough to say: 'I am
very sorry to hear this; I have always;
hoped you would remain In your present
position as long as I remained In the
cabinet.' •; ■' .'
"On other occasions both before and,
since that time Mr. Hay accorded me
seemingly convincing proof of his con
fidence. ■, .
