~~ WRECK IN CALIFORNIA,
At Least Twenty-Six Persons Killed
and a Hundred Hurt.
Colton, Cal., Maich 29.—One of the
most disastrcus wrecks in the history
of the Southern Pacifie railroad occur
red one and one-hali miles east of this
town shortly after 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon, when westbound train No. 9
from New Orleans for San Francisco
TAn into an open switch, while going at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, and ten of
the 14 coaches were derailed with
frightful resuits. Twenty-six people
are known to have been killed and the
final list will total much higher than
this numbér. The injured number
about 100, many of whom are seriously
injured and will die.
The wrecked eoaches were hurled in
every direction. Four of them were
'smashed into. splinters. Mozt of the
dead were Italians from New York and
New Orleans, going to San Franeisco.
They occupied the smoker and day
coach. |
But two Americans are known to
have been killed, although several of
those among the injured will undoubt
edly die within the next few hours.
Out of 80 Pullman passengers, but

L. R. Alvord, W. K. Davie and W.
G. Gusenmeyer, members of the switch
ing crew who are accused of leaving the
switch open and causing the wreck,
were taken into custody and held in
bail of $1 000 by Coroner Van Wye.
TRY MEDIATION.
Knapp and Neill Will Attempt to Ad
& just Railroad Dispute.
. Chieago, March 29.—Government in
tervention will be tried in an effort to
avert the great railroad strike which
threatens to paralyze the business of
the West. In response to the appeal
of the railicad managers, Chairman
Knapp, of the Interstate Commere com
mission, and Commissioner of Labor
Neill will arrive in Chicago Saturday
imorning and offer mediation in the
controversy. Failing to adjust the
{f" - im a coneciliatory manner, they
will_endeayor to bring about arbitra
sion under the provisions of the Erd-
JDARE Jaw. e O
The labor chiefs will await the ar
rival of the government officials befora
ordering a strike. If the good offices
of Mr. Knapp and Mr. Neill result in
bringing greater concessions tc the em
ployes than have yet been offered, the
strike may be averted. The employes,
nowever, eay they will not accept arbi
’trabion and today again declared their
position that nothing short of greater
concessiong from the railroads will pre
vent them from walking out.
President Roosevelt has been follow
’ ing closely the developments in the sit
uation here and Messrs. Knapp and
Neill will undertake the delicate wcrk
imposed on them by law with full con
sciousness that the president is ex
tremely solicitous that all differences
be settled by arbitration.
The general managers said that no
attempt would be made to operate
trains if the employes struck.
NO ADVANCE IN LUMBER RATES
Northern Roads Deny Present Inten
tion, but Are Investigating.
SBt Paul, Minn., L}T‘:cdh 29.—An
official statement was e by traffic
men of the Northern Pacific and Guieat
Northern railroads today that it is not
contemplated to make any immediate
change in lumber rates from Puget
sound to St. Paul and Missouri river
cities, as the lumbermen have advised
the Interstate Commeice commission in
Washington. A joint statement was
made by the lines as follows:
‘“We have not considered an increase
in Pacific Coast Missouri-River lumber
rates, except as they may have been in
volved in discussions covering the gen
eral rates and cost of service. No im
mediate changes are contemplated.”’
While the statement gives generally
the situation, it is asserted the lines are
closely investigating conditions govern
ing the transportation of lumber, which
have changed congiderably since the in
dustry on the coast started. ‘
~ Burning Gas Terrifies Farmers.
Sapulpa, 1.T., March 29.—The gas
well two miles east of here that caught
fire Saturday is still burning fiercely.
After 14 days of work the well was
capped. But the great volume of gas
found another way out through the
crevices and for half a mile it spread
open the earth. At one place a hole
three feet wide and 20 feet long was
torn. Then the gas caught fire and
has been burning ever since. At one
place a sheet of flame 20 feet long and
15 feet high is blazing. Tons of rock
and shale were thrown from the cracks.
Faculty Rebukes Magoon.
Havana, March 29.—The directors of
Havana university held a meeting to
day and entered a protest against the
recent action of Goverppr Magoon in
licensing two American doctors to prac
tice in Havana without first passing an
examination in the Univeristy of Ha
vana, as required by law.
SCHMITZ SVILE PLAN
Has Desperate Scheme fo Prevent
Franchise Revocation,
TRIES TO BUY OFF SUPERVISORS
Have Enough Resign to Make His
Veto Effective—Sweeping Re
forms Are Instituted.
San Francisco, March 30.—Mayor
Schmitz has opened negotiations with
certain members of the boodling board
of supervisors in the hope of consum
mating a bold coup. The plan of the
majyor is to purchase the resignation of
enough members of the board to make
his vetc power sufficient to prevent the
revocation of the franchises of the big
corporations which obtained their per
‘mits through the illegal use of money.
It requires 14 members of the board
to override the mayor’s veto. If he can
secure the resignation of five out of the
18 he will be able to check by his veto
any of their reform measures adopted
under the swish of F. J. Heney’s big
stick. It is a desperate game, doomed
to failure almost at the outset.
The ‘‘reformed’’ board of supervisors,
acting under the direction of the dis
triet attorney’s office, gave another
startling exhibition today of a desire
to be good, when it made plans for the
abolition of a score of ornamental offi
cials. James Devoto, attorney for the
board of public works at a ealary of
$250 per month, will be decapitated.
Other officials, who under the Ruei
regime have done nothing but draw sal
aries, will be dropped. In the course
of the next few weeks reforms will have
been instituted which will save the
city $lOO,OOO a year.
FAMINE WOULD RESULT,
Railroads Hold Out Gloomy Prospect
if Strike is Called. -
Chicago, March 30.—Famine in sup
lies of food, coal and manufacturing
*mnxtisls-itgxg Chm £9.80d m ._other
predicted today, if the impending rail
way strike became a reality. Railroads
of the entire West will be allowed to
remain completely paralyzed in case
the strike of trainmen and conductarg
on 43 traffic systeme is ordered. This
course has been practically decided on
by the general managers of the systems.
A meeting of the managers was held
today and the impracticability of filling
the places of 45,000 men who are talk
ing of a walkout was discussed. No
move has been made to hire men tc run
trains. In fact, no preparations jg be
ing made by the railway managers.
“‘lf these men strike it would be al
most, if not entirely, impossible to op
erate the railroads,’” said an official
high in railroad eircles. ‘‘lt is a 8 good
as certain that freight traffic will be
entirely shut off. Coneider what it
would mean, if Chicago were to be iso
lated for 24 hours. What would hap
pen if the milk supply were interrupt
ed or the immense importations of per
ishable freight halted by a tie-up of the
roads.’”’

HILL MAY ISSUE NEW STOCK.
Minnesota Supreme Court Holds Re
strictive Law Invalid,
St. Paul, March 30.—The State Su
preme court today upheld the Great
Northern railroad in ite contention that
it had the right to issue the $60,000,-
000 of stock authorized by the board of
directors some months ago, and which
was enjoined by Attorney General
Young, who claimed that the company
should fiarst come before the state rail
road and warehouse commission and
submit to an examination to show the
necessity andt he purpose of the iesue.
This contention of the state was up
held by Judge Hallam in the Ramsey
County District court, who ordered an
injunction to issue. The Supreme court
today reverses that decision. The
opinion of the court was" unanimous.
Chief Justice Start delivered the opin
ion of the court.
Sailors Loot Steamer
Norfolk, Va., March 30.—One hun
dred sailors from the battleship Cone
necticut, while on the way from Wil
leughby to Fortress Monroe upon the
passenger steamer Ocean View today,
‘without apparent cause took forcible
charge of the steamer and put the crew
to rout. The esailors broke windows
and doors, drove the cooks from the
galley, poured out all' provicions
aboard, dumped on deck the fire in
the stoves, turned steam on the fire
extinguichers and did other damas-.
Their names are not known.
