rector of priority, issued this state
ment tonight:
"The report that I am contemplating
an order shutting off cars from tho
automobile Industry is without any
foundation of fact. I said a week ago
thut I did not have In mind any trans

as nonessential, since priority order

wise to go In dealing with so called
nonessentials by transportation orders.
This statement still blands."

train waa traveling the engine crashed
into the rail nnd plowed thru ft small
embankment and then rolled Into a
ravine, twenty feet below, dragging

t'lstance of several yards.
Three Are Hlllcil.
Robertson, the oldest engineer 'n
lo.'nt of service with the Frisco, was
killed Ins'antly, as wan W. II. Wyre,
student fireman in tile cab for his
first run. Bart Fond, tho regular fire
man, was so seriously Injured that he
died last night at ilenryetta, where
he had born taken for medical atten
tion. As soon as the train had crashed
Into the rail, the passenger! rushed
from the roaches and on learning th
cause of the trouble Immediately
formed themselves Into posses and un
der live directions of sheriffs of
Hughes, Pittsburg, Okfuskee and Ok
mulgee counties began to scour the
surrounding country for four men who
had been seen at the scene of the ac
cident not more than half an hour
before the trnln crashed Into the rail.
l ed by bloodhounds from the statu
penitentiary at McAlester, the posso

said to be members of the I. W. W.
and who answered In every particular
tho description given of the men who
visited the scene of the wreck before
the accident.
It was discovered after the wreck
that another rail had been chained
across the track about fifty feet be
yond the first rail, apparently for tha
purpose of making sure of tho wreck
ing of tho train. Railroad officials de
clared that the track had been used
but 45 minutes previous hy a freight
train, which Indicates that only pas
senger traffic was to be Interfered
with by the men responsible for th
wreck.
Try to Hum Bridge.
The first attack made on railroad
property durkng the twelve hours in
which tho wreck at Henryetta was an
attempt made to destroy the Missouri,
Kansas A Texas railway bridge at
Osage, over the Arkansas river.
This attempt to burn the bridge a(
Osago was made late Saturday night
and was discovered by a track walker,
who found the north approach of tho
structure In flames. ( oal oil had been
poured on the timbers of the bridge
and matches 41ml a matchbox were
found, showing that a deliberate at
tempt had been made to wreck tne en
tire bridge.
According to the chief of police at
Osage, two men were eeen walking in
the direction of the bridge a short
time before the fire was discovered.
They were carrying a can, which Is
niW suspected of having contained tha
coal oil used to start the fire. These
two men, according to the same
source of Information, were to be seen
on the streets of Osage for three days
preceding the fire, and In a descrip
tion sent out. one la described as be
ing an elderly man, with mustache,
while the other, several years his
Junior, was clean-shaven.
Two Stations Itumed.
Ijist Friday night the passenger
and freight citations at Henryetta were
burned, following threats received by
railway officials that a plan to destroy
as much Frisco railway property as
possible had been perfected by 1. W.
W. members. The search for the per
sons guilty of burning the stations at
Henryetta was in progress when tha
wreck of the passenger train ocourrel
yesterday morning, and railway detec
tives believe that the same party of
firebugs Is responsible for both of
fenses. Several weeks ago, before an at
tempt was made to derail the Frisco
passenger train at Sapulpa by throw
ing a switch In front of the night
train, officluls of that line received
threatening letters In which it was
declared by the anonymous writer
that all railroads which had conveyed
troops were to suffer, and that th
Frisco was to be the first In Okla
homa. To Dei(le OraTl Chko.
