CONDITION OF INJURED. '&>
All *t St. Thomas Hospital Doing
Well As .Could Be Expected.
All of the injured wreck victims who
are at St. Thomas hospital, with the
possible exception of L. M. WalliX, of
Washburn, N. D., have held their own
or have sn^de some general improve
ment since Tuesday evening.
The physician who is attending
Wallin .holds. very little hope for his
ultimata recovery, and it is feared that
he wil) be-the: next wnose suffering
-will be ended by death, and who will
''•well the list to-an even half hun
dred. While his ultimate recovery 1b
iscarcely expected it is thought that
he may linger in his present condi
ition for
a
day or perhaps several days.
Wallln's. prtifclpal injury is a depressed
-fracture of the. skull, in addition to
Mother, serious -Injuries of the head.
The general condition of Paul Swift,
of the Waterloo Daily Reporter, is im
proved, and -it Is thought at this time
that 4her* will be no question but
what' he- will- get well. His chief In
juries are 4 compound fracture of the
right leg, and a dislocation of the hip.
Mrs. W. H. Teata, the Reinbeck
woman who had both legs^ Broken, her
right eye inJured. and otherwise hurt,
still continues tof suffer intensely, and
at times almost beyond her power to
endure. Despite these fierce racking
pains she' shows a marked lmprove
fntat fdr thj.better.- Her gerfferal con
dition is considered good.
S. Skitter, of Waterloo, another of
those* badly hurt, also shows improve
ment. He has a.oom pound fracture of
the arm and. severe ecalp and face

f' All -jfcthe offers who are at St.

Not Think Inquest Neoessary.
There is to, be no coroners' inquest
of the awfitf wreck near Green Mount
ain Monday in which forty-nine were

"'CIAL REPORT ON TERRIBLE.,
DISASTER,.
ENGINES RUNNING BACKWARD,
DANGER LIMITS EXCEEDED
Commission After Investigation Makes
Statement Charging That Wrecked
Train Was Traveling at Rate of
Forty or Forty-Five Miles Per Hour
—Sudden,Stoppage Caused Deaths.
Speclal to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, March 23.—The gist of
the finding of the state railroad com
mission, following its informal Inves
tigation of the Green Mountain/Wreck,
in company with officials of the Rock
Island, was made" public' this after
noon.
The commission says that the
wrecked 'train was running at a rate
of speed of about' forty or forty-five
miles an hour, and that a train being
pulled by engines- which were backing
up could not run with safety at a
speed to exceed twelve or fifteen miles
an. hour.
It also says that all of the people in
the train who were killed, and who
were sitting with their backs to the
S 'head qnd of the train, either ha,d their
V~\ AIVA T\MA1P AM A I— 1 1 1-
backs broken 'or their heads crushed.
This was due to the tremendous
speed with which the train was trav
eling, and the suddenness with which
It stopped. The commission also found
that after the locomotives had tcjppled
over against the clay bank of the cut
•they did not go forward more than
from three to seven feet. This sud
den stop was the primary cause of the
great number of fatalities.
This finding of the commission was
not made public in the form of a for
mal report, but probably outlines what
the official report will cover.

New York, Maxell 23.—Retail butch
ers in New York City have this week,
again increased prices practically of
all meats which they -handle by about
2 cents per pound. They have done so
in response to a steady increase in the
wholesale price.
It is admitted on all sides that prices
now range, at a higher level than has
ibeen known since the civil war, and
that the top notch has not yet been
reached. It is declared hy retail deal
ers that there.is a real shortage In live
stock in the country and that at the
prcpent time everything is tending to
aggravate this condition.
One reason given for the short supply
of cAttle is the recent agitation of the
meat boycott. It is declared the west

pered greatly in recent years, and is
now well enough off to speculate on his
herds. The dealers declare he Is delib

iv a
Luxor, Tipper Egypt, March 23.—Mr.
Roosevelt was asked today If he had
summoned former Forester Pinchot to
meet him In Europe. The only response
was that Roosevelt was holding to his
determination not to answer questions
on any matter personal or political.
This morning tlu l'tooaevelts visited
the temples of Luxor and Karnak and
this afternoon Roosevelt planned to
address the American mission school.
Roosevelt was mutli interested in the
tombs of the kings, visited yesterday.
Last night's dance at the winter pal
ace was an enjoyablo affair. Kermlt
Roosevelt and Miss Ethel participated.
The Indications are that Roosevelt
will receive a great wclcome at Cairo.
With characteristic assurance of be
ing able to take care of himself, Roose
velt does not desire police protection,
an idea which Is not at all to. his lik
ing. However, the British authorities
have prepared for any eventuality and
do not propose that their distinguished
guest shall be subjected to any Incon
venience or annoyance, even tho the
latter might bo of a friendly nature.

15 hove 'been completed. Th«*y were
made by American Ambassador Leish

Loishmann was notified ih diplomatic
terms that the pontiff would be much
pleased to receive Roosevelt, but that
he trusted there would be avoided any
such incidents as marred the visit to
Rome of former Vice President Fair
banks. With this understanding of the
pope's wish in this matter, the audi
ence was arranged. If Roosevelt's
engagements permit he will be invited
to a luncheon at the American college,
