CITY COUNCIL
Starts Early in Getting License
Ordinance in Shape No
Appointments
The city council mot last evening for
the first regular session, the meeting
place being Firemen's hall, and there
was a full attendance. Contrary to ex
pectations, no appointments were made.
Much interest is being taken in the
probable apiKiintments to tho various
eit offices, but the council gave no in
timation as to the time they would be
taken up.
Three ordinances were taken up and
passed, all of them being of a general
nature Ordinance No. 1 relates to the
regular meetings and meeting place of
the council; No. 2 as to ordinances, their
caption and enforcement, and Xo. It es
tablishing the city ollices and the duties
attached thereto.
The council then grabbed the bull by
the horns and went after the license
ordinance, which, by the way, is tho one
of greatest interest to most of tho poo
pie The ordinance was not passed, but
a number of sections were voted Uoii
and adopted and in several instances
there are radical changes over those con
tamed in the ordinances enacted by
the short session couueil Inst October.
Saloon licenses will remain as fixed
hy the former council, at 490 per quar
ter, but the tax on all stores and com
mercial establishments will bo regulated
according to tho business done by each
concern
The ordinance prohibiting women and
minors from entering places where
liquor is sold, as passed by the former
council, was read and although no action
was taken, the council seems to be
unanimous in its approval of the meas
ure and it will probably be passed
Thursday night, when the council will
meet again.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jnnuary"lX
Rock Island passenger train No. 20,
which left here at 9:05 tonight, collided

trainmen ato dead and a number of
passengers injured. The dead nre:
ENGINEERS McQUHEN of passen

BAGGAGEMAN CHARLES HUNT
of passenger train.
Fireman of passenger train, name not

The freight train was on a Bwitch
which had been left open nnd tho pas
senger train wns going full speed nnd
ran on tho switch, crashing into the
freight.
Tho treight cugino wus ditched and
tho passenger plunged through tho
freight cars, smnshing and derailing
thorn until it stopped.
Five Dead iu New Moxlco
EL PASO, January 1 1. Yesterday
morning nt 4:15 northbound passenger
train Xo. .'10, which left this city at 0:30
Saturday night, rau into an open switch
at milepost 199, five miles north of
Corona, X. M., and wns wrecked, killing
five persons and injuring some eleven
or twehe more.
The dead aro:
II. F. ACKLKY, engineer, residence
Alamogordo.
C. J. REDFIELD, residenco Alamo
gordo. J1ARTLF.Y SPENCE, a sheep man of
corona.
ANDREW HKRRON of Bisbee.
A three-year old Moxicon child, name
not learned.
Kiglit of tho injured were members
of a Mexican family named Rizera who
were enrouto from El Paso to Tucum-
cari. None of them nre thought to
have recei ed fatal injuries.
B. C. Johnson, the colored jmrter, was
seriously injured and may not live.
A man named Leonard Huston, whose
homo is in Oklahoma, was badly shaken
up, but received no serious injury.
Two Arabs, whose names were not
learned, were also slightly hurt.
AH of tho passengers who were in
jured were in tho combination smoker
which was completely demolished. The
occupants of the rest of tho train, which
consisted of a chair car, a tourist sleep
er and two Pullmans, escaped without
injury. Tho front end of the chair car
was slightly damaged.
The train was running at a go,od rate
of speed when the wreck occurred.
Without any warning the engine
dashed into tho open switch. The
tracks were torn up as if by an earth
quake and the engine caroened quickly
to the right, catching the unfortunate
engineer nnd fireman under the mass of
steel and iron. Tho baggage car and
the smoker, crushed against tho wreck
of tho engine, were converted into a
mass of splinters and it is a miracle
that any of the pecupants of tho smoker
escaped with their lives.
Engineer Ackloy wns caught uuder
the boiler as tho engine fell and wns
crushed to death, probably never real
izing what had hurt him.
Fireman Redfield, howover, gave up
his lifo suffering the greatest agony and
begging for help. He was caught under
tho tender, and, had it been possible for
the rest of the train crew and passen
gers to have extricated him a few min
utes before thoy did, it is possible his
life might have been saved. As tho
engine turned over, steam began to es
cape in great volumes from the boiler
and Redliold was literally scalded to
death. His piteous cries for help at
tracted the attention of tho trainmen
and passengcis, and willings hands
worked with might and main to extri
cate the helpless man as he begged and
prayed to be saved. Jt was difficult
work getting to his body, but it was
finally pulled out just about the time
that the unfortunate fireman breathed
his last.
Both Ackley and Redfield wore resi
dents of Alamogordo. Ackley wUs one
of tho oldest onginceis in the employ of
the road, having been in tho servico of
the Xortheastcin from tho time that it
was .built. He was a married man and
leaves a wifo and two daughters in
Alnmogoido.
Redfield was unmarried and lived
with his parents in Alamogordo. His
body will bo shipped, howover, to Great
Bend, Kan. Ackloy 's remains will bo
buried in Alamogordo by tho Masons,
of which older ho was a prominent
member.
Body Oround to Plece3
Hartley Spence, who wns also killed,
wari a wealthy sheep man and had just
taken the train enroute for some point
in Oklahoma, when the wreck that
crushed out his life came. His body
was literally ground to pieces. He io
lolated to Prank Spence, tho well known
real estate man iu this city.
It was duo to the fact that Spence
had offered to pay his fnro in cash
that Conduotor John O'Shea of this
city, who was in charge of the train,
escaped death or serious injury. When
Spence tendered. Conductor O'Shea a
bill tho luttrf, Z f having the change,
went back iri tlift nr part of the train
to got it. Ho lu scarcely loft the
ill-fated smoker wlien tho crash came
and ho escaped without any sort of
injuiy. Conductor O'Shea was among
the voiy first to got to the aid of tho
injured and worked like a Tiojan trying
to extricate wounded persons from the
wreck.
rortunutely, the wrecked bnggago car
and smokor.did not catch fire and the
horrors of flame, so often following in
the wako of a wreck, were not added
to this disaster.
As soon as tho news of the wreck
leached Alamogordo a relief train bear
ing Howral doctors and medical supplies
was sont out. The dead and injured
were biought back to Alamogordo where
the injured were placed in the company
hospital at that place.
Who is at fault for the switch being
loft open has not been definitely deter
mined. It is said that a freight train
going north had just a short time before
the passenger trniu eamo along taken
tho siding and it is supposed that some
one connected with that train forgot to
close tho switch as it "went out.
It required about two hours' work to
clear tho wreck and to get tho track in
shape so that passenger trniu No. 29,
bound for El Paso, could pass.
Tie train that was wrecked yesterday
was iu a collision on January 2 at
Vollard, Kan., with Xo. 29 on the same
load, and thirty-two passengers, mostly
Mexican laboreis, on their way to El
Paso, wore killed and over thirty per
sons woro injured.
Promised Spokane Term
inal Rates for Right of Way
Worth a Million
By Associated Press.
SPOKANE. Wash., January 14. The
personality of James J. Hill figures con
spicuously in the first day's hearing of
the Spokane freight rate case before
the interstate commerce commission. H.
M. Stephens of Spokane and Brooks
Adams of Boston, counsel for the Spo

ber of witnesses on tho stand, and in
traduced extensive extracts from Spo
kane newspapers to prove that Hill
when he obtained in February, 1902,
the free right of way through the city
valued at one million dollars, promised
this city terminnl rates or better.
W. W. Cotton for the Harrimau lines
and Attorney Cannon for the Northern
Pacific protested against their roads be
ing bound by promises which Hill had
made at that time.
Commissioner Prouty said in reply
to these protests that in the hearing of
this character the acts of one company
could not be well disassociated from
others.

WASHINGTON, January 14. Taking
only brief time to pass the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
carrying nearly .$31,000,000, the senate
devoted tho rest of the day to tho
Brownsville affair.
President Roosevelt's messages, ac
companied by many additional affidavits
and a cigar box of bullets and empty
cartridge shells was received. Tho mes
sago was ordored printed. Speech mak
ing on the subject continued until 5:30
o'clock.
Georgia Approves
Senator Mallory, indorsing the action
of the president, opened tho discussion.
Ho hold that the president might have
gone too far in preventing re-enlistment
of tho soldiers involved. Other
wise tho fcnntor said ho approved tlio
president's order of discharge. When
Senator Clay took the floor tho debate
was given a lively turn by Tillman's
interruptions. Clay said tho people of
Georgia heartily indorsed the presi
dent's action.
Senator Bacon followed with what he
said was a precedent for th'e Browns
ville order in discharging a company of
South Carolina national guardsmen by
Tillman when ho wns governor. Spooncr

has no "jurisdiction to review his action.
He also contended that congress has no
power to legislate specifically to restore
soldiers discnarged in the present case,
declaring that a review can only be
had by impeachment proceedings, which
must originate in the house of repre
sentatives. Several senators indicated that they
intended to discuss the question and the
Brownsville debate, therefore, is likely
to absorb the attention of the senate
for several days.
Southern Senators Approve
WASHINGTON, January 14. Sena
tor Mallory today told the senate that
he could see no benefit in tho proposed
senate investigation of the Brownsville
affair, as the evidence submitted by the
president was euough to convict the
soldiers. However, he said, he would
not oppose the inquiry.
Mr. Clay of Georgia held that tho
courtmartial would have resulted in
nothing, and he insisted that tho evi
dence of former escapades of this regi
ment justified the discharge.
Senator Tillman interrupted to say
that the evidence showed that tho pres
ident and the secretary of war were
ignorant of the character of negro sol
diers. Again announcing his adhcrenco
to tho principles of liberty, Tillman
hnid he did not allow such prejudices
or feelings to lead him from demand
ing substantial justice. Senator Clay
placed himself emphatically on record
as indorsing tho president's action and
said he believed ho voiced the sentiment
of the majority of the people of Geor
gia.
Not a Precedent
Senntor Bacon had the clerk read a
nowspaper clipping announcing that it
cited a precedent for tho president's
action. It told of tho dismissal of a
company of South Carolina national
guards by Tillman, who was then gov
ernor, becauso they refused to oboy
orders during a disturbance over tho
enforcement of the state liquor laws.
Tillman explained tho occurrence, de
claring that tho company in question
woro "bandbox soldiers who wanted
uniforms and brass buttons to holp
them with tho girls." Ho added thero
wore many good negroes. As this
seemed to surprise Spooner, Tillman
added that ho had good negroes working
for him for thirty years and ho bolieved
there were millions of good ones.
Discrimination tho Motive
Tho bullets and cartridge belts sent
to the senate Mallory held to add great
ly to lliu strength of tho president's
case. In addition to the ovidence, ho
maintained that tho discrimination
against negro soldiers by citizens of
Brownsville furnished tho motive. Thoy
woro not allowed liberty out of the fort
after 8 o'clock at night and were not
served in barrooms. Mallory digressed
to call attention to whnt ho regarded
as tho best illustration that could be
given of the incompetence of tho negro
to crannlo with crcat questions. His
illustration was tho criticism of Jho
president by n negro mass meeting at
Boston.
Says President Was Derelict
Tillman took the floor and insisted
that he could not got away from the
fundamental principle that "each man
charged with a crime should have a
fair trial." "I say," ho continued,
"that tho president hns been derelict
when he transcended his authority and
was untruo to tho duties of his office
in not holding the troops in arms until
ho had exhausted every means to ascer
tain tho guilty ones."
"I do not hate tho race," ho added.
"I simply feel that I am superior to
it; that is all."
Assuming that the president had ex
orcised tho power ho possessed in dis
charging theso soldiers, Spooner denied
that congress had any constitutional
power to sot asido such an order.
Spooner yielded the floor fo radjourn
ment, not having finished his argument.

sidering legislation pertaining to the
District of Columbia and proposed a
