PAUL H. THOMPSrifJ ISTEBTISOLVED Kansas City Police in Dark Regarding Fate of Neb raska Official. FATHER IS ON SCENE Believe That Victim Disap peared Entirely of His Own Volition. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept 2. The theory that Pan H. Thompson, deputy fire commissioner of Nebraska, -whose coat and hat, stained with blood, were found under the municipal wharf yes terday, was the victim of foul play, was abandoned by the police here to night. Tho officers said their investi gations had convinced them that Thompson is alive and that he disap peared voluntarily. Christ Thompson of Grand Island, Neb., father of the missing man, after spending the day here investigating the case, agreed with the conclusions of the police. He returned - to Grand Island tonight. Search Is Abandoned. The police announced that they would make no further effort to locate young Thompson, unless some develop ment should arise to change their pres ent view of the case. A department store clerk, with whom Thompson associated while stopping at a hotel here, said Thompson had? a new suit of clothes and a new hat and that he was about ready to discard the hat and coat found on the river front. Thompson registered at a hotel here August 29. A dotective working on the case reported that a maid at the hotel told him Thompson left his room at 9 o'clock Monday morning. The bed in the room did not appear to havo been slept in, but as if Thompson may have lain on it a few minutes. The maid straightened tho covors, and later when she returned to the room the bed was in disorder, as though Thompson had roturncd and again occupied It. In the room was found a grip, such as railroad conductors carry. It con tained ouy a shirt Thompson is 22 years old. According to a friend, he was arrested with a wom an In Lincoln two weeks ago and re leased after stating that the woman .-was his wife. Tho woman, Miss Ella Gratzy or Grand Island, told Lincoln officials at that time, according to Rldgell, that she anil Thompson had eloped and been married three months ago. The same woman has communicated with the local police and asked to be kept Informed con cerning clews to Mr, Thompson's where abouts. Light on Marriage. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 2. Mrs. Thompson was found at the Hamoy hotel last night. She said she had cxpectod her husband home Saturday morning, and had tele graphed to Kansas City for tld,lnss of him, She did not believe he had been accompanied to Kansas City by any one, and wus greatly disturbed over the story of the finding of his coat and hat. Mrs. Thompson said they had not es tablished a home since her husband had been appointed to his present position, and that they lived part of the tlmo in Omaha and pnrt In Lincoln. She left for the home tof hor parents in Grand Island last night. Mrs Thompson Ih a bride of but a few months. Last night she admitted that her mar riage had been clandestine, but de clared her brief married life had been happy. She said that she eloped with Thompson merely as a Joke on their friends. Difficulty was experienced, she said, Andlng some person who would marry them, because they knew of no ono to vouch for them. A Judge at Tccumseh, Neb., who had known Thompson, readily performed the ceremony. Over the tele phone the Judge told tho Associated Press last night that he performed the cere mony May 17. Thompson was on his vacation, Mrs. Thompson said, and was to have returned to Omaha yestorday when she expected to accompany her husband on a vacation trip. She has heard from him regularly and the letter found In his coat was one she had expected to receive In Sunday's mall.

THICK FOG GIVEN AS CAUSE OF DISASTER Many of the Dead Have Not Been Identified; Of ficial Investigation to Be Made at Once. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 2 Twenty-one persons were killed and nearly fifty injured, some of whom may die, in a rear-end collision shortly be fore 7 o'clock this morning on the Now York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, six miles north of here. The first, section of tho White Moun tain express, bound for New York, speeding along at probably forty miles an hour in a thick fog, rushed by a danger signal, it is said, and crashed into tho rear of the second section of tho Bar Harbor express, standing 100 foot b6yond the block signal. Pullman Cars Wrecked. The White Mountain engine cleaved through two rear Pullman cars, both of wood, splitting them in two, and toss ing their wrockago and three score of mangled human beings, some alive, some dead, on either side of the track. The third car, also of wood, and oc cupied by forty boys on their way from a summer camp at Monmouth, Me., was lifted into the air and almost completely off .the track. Tho car fell on its side, crumpled up, crush od two of tho boys to death and injured sev eral others. 8ome of the victims of the two rear Pullmans were hurled from thoir berths oror a fence paralleling the track fifty feet distant. Mattresses, bedding and clothing found lodgment in the tele graph wires. Third in One Year. It was the third serious wreck which the New Haven has suffered within a year, and inaugurated the first daj' of the regime of Howard Elliott, the newly elected head of the road. Mr. Elliott, returning from his 6ummor home in New Hampshire to assume his duties, passed over the scene of the wreck on an earlier train, less than an hour before.

PARKER ALSO PARTICIPATES Association Adopts a Reso lution Indorsing Presi dent Wilson's Action , Regarding Mexico. MOXTRDAL,. Sept. 2. The president, of the United States, an ex-president and a former candidate for tho presidency, fig ured today by name or by actual pres ence In the proceedings of the American Bar association's annual meeting. The association adopled a resolution indors ing President Wilson's action in regard to Mexico. Ex-Presldcnt Taft addressed the members tonight, advocating greater Independence of the Judiciary. Judge Alton B. Parker. Democratic candidate for president in 1904, proposed the resolution, unanimously adopted for tho approval of tho celebration of a cen tury of peace between the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Taft's Address. Mr. Taft's address, delivered at Royal Victoria college, was the event of the evening. His subject was "The Selection and Tonuro of Judges." Tomorrow the ex presldcrrt will speak before the section on legal education on "The Social Impor tance of Proper Standards for Admission to the Bar." "Tho greater ithc Independence of tho courts," said Mr. Taft, "the stronger their influence, and the more satisfactory their jurisdiction and the administration of Justlco. In a popular government the most difficult problom Is to determine a satisfactory mothod of selecting the members of Its Judicial branch." Selection by Appointment. Selection of judges by appointment, he declared, did not altogether deprive the people of the right of solectlon. "The BQloctlon can be really popular without resorting to an election. The chief executive elected by the people to represent them In executive work does, In appointing a Judge, execute the popular will. In every country In the world, ex cept in the cantons of Switzerland and the United States, Judges are appointed and not elocted." Mr. Taft admitted that the United States had many able Judges by elec tion; but, ha pointed out, In many states 'the practice prevailed of re-electing good judges without contosL Any good that might have been derived from the elec tive system, however, promised to be lost, ho asserted, with the more general adop tion of the direct nomination system. Attitude of Supplicants. He added: Like all the candidates for office to bo elected under such conditions, Judgos arc expected to conduct their own canvass for nomination, to pay tho expenses of their own candldacj' In the primary, and In so far as any special effort is to bo made In favor of thoir nomination and election, they are to make it themselves. They are necessarily put in the attitude of supplicants before the people for pre ferment to judicial places. Under the convention system It happened not Infrequently, for rea eons I have explained, that men who were not candidates were nominated for the bench, but now In no case can the office seek the man. Noth ing could more Impair the tmallty of lawyers available ns candidates or de preciate tho standard of the judiciary. I affirm without hesitation that In Btates where many of the elected Judges In the past have had high rank, the Introduction of nomination by di rect primary has distinctly Injured the character of the bench for learn ing, courage and ability. The result, of the present tendency Is scon In the disgraceful exhibitions of men campaigning for the place of stale Biipreme Judge and asking votes, on the ground that their decisions will havo a particular clues favor. Favors Life Tenure. In advocacy of' a life tenuro for judges, the ex-prealdent said that only by this meuns could the Judiciary be hedged around "with Immunity from the tempo rary majority In the electorate and from the Iniuoni'c of n partisan executive or legislature." "This immunity, now enjoyed by fed eral judges," continued Mr. Taft, "has had some effect In making congress grudge any betterment of the compensa tion to these great officers of (ho law "Nothing but tho life tenuro of the federal judiciary. Its Independence and Its power of usefulness have mad It possible, with such Inadenuati) .salaries, to secure judges of a high average In learning, ability and character." Remedy Is at Hand. In conclusion, Mr. Taft pointed out that If a Judgo appointed for life proved un worthy, there always was the remedy of Impeachment. lie advocated, however, a chongo In the mode of Impeachment so as to reduce the time required of the senate In such proceeding. He continued: It haH beon -pvopoHed that Instead of Impoachment, Judges should be re moved by a Joint resolution of tho house and the senate.

IRENE HOWARD CARLEY M'HOLBS OPENS COAL TRUST FIGHT Attorney General Files Suit for Dissolution of Reading Company's Control. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2. Attorney General McReynold's llrst and most Im portant attack on the hard coal "trust" was besun here today with the tiling of a civil suit for the dissolution of tho Reading company's control of coal min ing and coal-carrying railroads the most potential combination In the anthracite fields. The- Reading company, with Ita subsidiary a ni? allied corporations, Includ ing the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and certain of their officers and direc tors are charged by the federal govern ment with violating both the Sherman anti-trust law and the commodities clause of the Interstate commerce act In an attempt to monopolize the production and transportation of anthracite. Warning Against Trust. Thi3 combination, controlling at. the present time 03 per cent. of the entire unmlned deposits of anthracite and mar keting about 30 per cent of the annual supply, will own or control In time, If not dissolved, the attorney general warns, "every ton of commercially avail able anthracite known to exist." It Is pointed out that In almost every other Industry it is at least possible for a monopoly to be broken by the Influx of fresh capital attracted by high prollts, but against a monopoly of hard coal, tho supply of which Is limited, there cun bo no such protection. Today's suit Is "the second step of the department of Justice to solve the hard coal "trust" situation since the decision of tho supreme court last. December can celling the so-called fiii per cent contracts and ordering the dissolution of tho Tem ple Iron company. READING COMPANY CONTROLS DEPOSITS WASHINGTON, -Sept. 2. In a state ment tonight discussing the coal "trust" suit filed at Philadelphia, tho department of justice declared the Reading combina tion wus the "backbone of the alleged monopoly of anthracite." "It controls about two-thirds of the en tire deposits," the slatemcnt added, "and Its supply will outlast, by many yara that of any other producer."

Tho protest was In the form of a resolu tion adonted at yesterday's annual eman cipation celebration.
