When Train Leaves Track
Conttnnfii from Pajre 1, Colnmn 1*
cars. Women were carried fainting from
the scene. A drenching rain impeded
the work of rescue. .- s^'L
A special relief train was made up at
Sacramento and dispatched north, car
rying Superintendent Jones and five
physicians. At Woodlawn other doctors
boarded the train, as It was feared
that the list of the seriously Injured
would be a long ' one from the fact
that so many coaches- had been
wrecked.
In the afternoon another special was
\u25a0sent to carry the passengers, who had
found shelter in the Pullmans, south
ward to their destinations, but at a
late hour last niprht the track had not
been cleared. Trains were stalled on
either side of the wreck.
Fasseneprs on the train say that three
tramps who were stealing a ride on the
• blind bagrpage were killed, but no re-
I port of their death has been made to
(the railroad officials.
f Among the passengers who- had nar
; row escapes were George O. Perry. J. P.
; Eaton. Carson Martin. Joe Porter, John
i Bartosh. Mary Bartosh and Mrs. John
Reynolds, all of Redding.
The body of Express Messenger
Charles was removed to Woodland.
LEAVES WIFE AND DAUGHTER
'. Charles was the oldest son of the late
Harry A. Charles, a director of a
transportation company now incorpo
rated with the Wells-FarßO Company.
He was a member of the Order of
Maccabees, and his funeral in all prob
ability will be held under the auspices
Of that organization. His wife and
17-year-old daughter Hazel live at 3937
-Sacramento street. While grief-stricken,
both are bearing up bravely under the
weight of their sad loss. Besides the
wife and daughter Charles Is survived
by three sisters. Mrs. J. P. Graves. Mrs.
C. R. Robinson and Miss Frances
Charles, and by throe brothers, Rich
ard, Harry and Herbert Charles. The
latter is an express messenger, running
•to Reno.
Harry Charles and C. R. Robinson,
brother and brother-in-law of the de
crased, left immediately for the scene
of the wreck to take charge of the
body.
On Thanksgiving day, following the
attempted robbery of his car in 1901,
the Wells-Farg-o Company gave
Charles an appropriately Inscribed gold
medal in token of his valor. They also
presented him with $1000 as a reward
for his brave action in holding his car
against, the bandits.
Nine years before this episode, at
Ceres, in Stanislaus County, Charles and
another messenger, Wallace Reed, stood
off what was believed to have been the
Evans-Sontag gang. He was given a
gold watch for this service. At another
time he was sent into Arizona as shot
gun messenger to protect the company's
property during the operations, of the
Grant Wheeler gang.
WAKJEFLL.NESS SAVES LIFE
Grorerr Fleltz of Detroit Attributes Es-
cspe from Death to Chance
"I was awake and. looking out of
the car window when the crash came,"
said George L. Fleitz, a Detroit lumber
man. at the St. Francis Hotel last night,
"and to that fact I owe my life. I felt
the car roll and braced myself against
the bar at' the top of my berth; Then
came a terrific Jolt that slammed me
up against the head of the bed. Had I
.not instinctively braced myself for the
impact I beli«ve I would, have been
killed.- ; . ; v "-: .-::\u25a0\u25a0' • ! . » -
Fleitz was occupying ' a stateroom
en tbe Shasta express, which was de
railed below Red Bluff yesterday morn
ing. He arrived at the St, Francis
last night with other passengers on the
ill-fated first section, having been
picked up by a later train at Dunnigran.
The passengers suffered but little de
lay and arrived at the various hotels
last night. «
Fleitz was accompanied by John 'B.
Padberg of Detroit. After the shock
both men left their stateroom and aided
other passengers in allaying the alarm
of the women.
Fleltr left the car to make a survey
of the scene. The wreck, in his "opin
ion, was caused by the breaking of a
rail. The engine and tender left the
track, but did not overturn. The ex
press car followed the engine and upset.
The baggage car left the track on the
opposite side, but the remaining
coaches and sleepers stayed on the
rails. > *Vs<--
George H. Emerson arri\'ed at the
Palace Hotel from Hoquiam last night,
accompanied by his wife. They were in
: the third Pullman and felt the full
force of the shock, but escaped Injury.
I Emerson was unable to say Just what
- damage was done to the baggage-car
3 and had made no Inquiry regarding the
safety of his own effects.
Fred Beebe of Tacoxna said last night
in the St. Francis that the wreck was
due to the breaking of a rail and that
the consensus of opinion on the train
was that underweight rails were used.
Beebe said the damage to the passen
gers' effects was slight.

remained in obscurity, while May ac
costed Ross with a- request -for his

Peace Talk Gains Support
Among Empire's Diplomats
TOKIO. Feb. 4~ (Morfday)— The war
talk of 'the American press- has been
received "here :with great surprise and
sincere J regret. The, correspondent of
the Associated Press has talked with
many leading men, .both in and out of
the ; government. They concur in the
opinion that the^United States is the
last country with which Japan would
go to war. Besides," both nations are
unaggressive in their; trade rivalries,
which seldom lead to war unless terri
torial acquisition is intended by either
rival. In some quarters : the -belief Is
expressed that the misrepresentation
that Japan Is "suffering from on account
of. the San"; Francisco school contro
versy-is penned by disaffected war cor
respondents in the late Russian.war. It
is believed .'that these correspondents
are ever watching for, occasion ito vic
timize Japan. Even those Inclined to
be; chauvinistic ridicule the Idea of war
with the United States.' The Japanese
press has been silent so far," apparently,
considering the , matter , unworthy lof
comment. . . / • / ; .

TOKIO, Feb. 3. — After a careful sur

the approach of the. termination of the
unpleasant incident is welcomed, yet
the/report, from • Washington that a
solution : may be effected by a mutual
treaty //excluding the Immigration of
laborers is generally disbelieved as un
reasonable. According to the prevail

General Greely Pleads for
Enlarging of Navy
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.— lf the United
States is to fulfill her destiny as the
controlling power of the Pacific Ocean
and maintain her position. as a world
nation, she must recognize the gravity
of the problems which have % arisen since
she took over the Philippines and pre
pare to meet them.
This was "the' thesis maintained by
Major General A.-W. Greely in his talk
before the .Chicago Yacht Club last
night. General , Greely prefaced hla
discussion of international problems by
the explanation that he spoke not as an
army officer, but as a private citizen
who. would retire within- a year from
active service.
He referred particularly to the
menace of war with Japan which had
followed the recent anti-Japanese agi
tation In San Francisco, and while he
expressed the belief that the dlfflcutlies
would be smoothed over, he pointed
out the Inevitable result of such a con
tingency, and pleaded for a navy which
should enable the American people to
maintain their national honor. He said:
While I do not beliere tHat a conflict with it
foreljrn- power Is irnmlamt. yet on th« other
hand we must remember that President Roese
relt. in speaking at tbe dedication of tbe War
College In Washington recently, said that the
nation which la proud and arrogant and at the
same time defenseless presents a deplorable
position. "' . : ,
(If tbe United States would be a world power
she mast pay for it. She most maintain a (treat
nayy. If you are ' coins Into world police you
must prepare for ft as a careful business man
prepares to. meet bla strongest competitors.
It has become tbe destiny of tbe .American
nary to sail beyond the Western sunset.^ The
President baa said that tbe day. will come when
the control of tbe Pacific Ocean must tneritably
fall Into- the hands ot tne "American nation.
Whether this be troe or not. we must consider
the purport of these remarks. If- tbe power and
prestijre of the American people is to rail, and I
do not beUere It Is to fall. It must fall wltli
honor. . '
Roosevelt?* Treaty Plan
Seems Doomed to Failure
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.— President
Roosevelt's, plan for amicably adjusting
the. difficulty between the United States
and. Japan -with; a .view to tfce exclu
sion' of Vcoolies . is doomed .toi certain
failure. %He "will never -be table to *
obtain". the ratification of a treaty bar
ring American workmen from Japan.
The President has made his-calcula
tions on, the, theory, that as no Ameri
can laborers go to Japan, there will
be; no objections to having a clause In
serted In a treaty providing f or* their s
exclusion. . This would be reciprocal "
for the exclusion of Japanese coolies.
It has already become evident that the
Senate will refuse to • approve a con
vention in which any distinction against
American ' citizens . would be made.
There might be no opposition to the
exclusion of all Americans, but there
will be determined antagonism to the
barring of workingm«*t and the ad-_i
mlttance of millionaires and first-class -
travelers. Tfbere Is no class distinction

There - Ig an Immense -amount of
money deposited In the banks of this
country. 1 the. savings of people of mod-
erate means., That capital Is seeking
Investment In a substantial enterprise.
When the public realize that the Chi-
cago-New York Electric Air Line Rail-
road Is being built; that Its stock has
an established value; that ther» Is a
great opportunity for aafa and profit-
able Investment In the stock of . this
railroad; when once It is realized that
the investor will obtain all. the bene-
fit of the enhanced value of the stock
updn the completion of the enterprise,
the entire capital stock of this com-
pany will at once be subscribed.
Any one who has the means ' to ' se-
cure _ a portion of this ~ first Issue of
stock and* has failed: to do so has neg-
lected a . great opportunity, and in
after years he will undoubtedly re-
gret it.
It la the history of all large enter-
prises, * and especially -of those *\u25a0 which
have made "radical changes, either In
established methods or which -have se-
riously efTected the established Indus-
tries of , the" country, that they have
first received the ; support, not of the
moneyed ;men .of • the » country, but of
the great. middle class. The telegraph
and the telephone are examples. : Many
of. our railroad systems have originated
in; the j same manner. ;
'Stop find consider why it is" that*
this great -enterprise is succeeding
Why It ; is that the ' va3t volume of
sales- of r the capital stock Is piling up
a \ fund which comes " from ' all sections
of "the i country. ; and which: insures the
building of this road.. -
; It; Is because this is~ a project which
appealsrtoithe^people. .It is a project
that;has great, merit. There must be
something more than .-this, however
There must be .ability: and. integrKv
behind the 'project- or^ it would no"t
have lived and grown *s* it has done.
