HEAD-ON COLLISION
I
THREE TRAINMEN KILLED ON
| TRE MEAT NORTHERN. ,
Alto Three Serlouely Injured—Crew
of Freight Train Dleobeyed Order*
Near Everett, Wash.—Crash With
Passenger Train Followed—Two
Other Freight Trains Just Escaped.
Everett, Wash., Oct. 22. —The fail
ure of a freight train tQ obey orders
resulted in a headon collision on the
Great Northern at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning a few mlleß east of Monroe,
In which three were Killed, three seri
ously injured and others bruised. The
dead:
Freight Engineer J. E. Hudson.
Freight Fireman A. W. Riddell.
Freight Fireman Patrick Sheridan.
The injured: Passenger Engineer
George Lawrence, Passenger Conduc
tor Wetzell.
The freight was an extra, east
bound. It had orders to meet No.
277, the Skykomish local at Monroe.
Arriving at Monroe the crew of the
train believed they had time to make
Sultan, the first station east of
Monroe.
Immediately after leaving Monroe
the train breke down and was de
layed some time. Just after they cad
started up the collision took placc
The track at this point is tortuous,
winding around the Snohomish.
Neither engineer could see the other
train until they were within 100 feet
of each other. The trains came to
gether with terrific Impact. Both
engines left the track. Their crews
stuck to their posts till the last min
ute. That there were not many fa
talities among the passengers is due
to the lightness of the train, consist
ing only of three cars, and that the
heivy freight was going up grade.
Passengers hurried from the coaches
and assisted In extracting tue dead
and Injured. Fireman Riddell of the
freight train was found sitting head
less beside his engine. His engineer.
Hudson, was not found until late in
the afternoon, his body being buried
under the ponderous freight engine.
Both the engineer and lireman of
the passenger were badly scalded.
Fireman Sheridan died on uie way to
the hospital in Everett. Engineer
Lawrence was brougnt to the hospital
here and the physicians say his burns
are not fatal. Lawrence has a wife
and two children in Seattle; Hudson
also has family in Everett. All the
others were unmarried.
Conductor Erlckson of the freight
train was placed under arrest by
Deputy Sheriff Brown at Snohomish
at the instance of Coroner Munn. The
coroner will hold an Inquest at Sno
homish tomorrow afternoon.
The escape of the freight trains
from a disastrous wreck between
Leavenworth and Cashmere was a
narrow one, and that the engines did
not come together is due to the fact
that when first seen by the engineers
the trains were on a level stretch of
track between the two towns. The
wheels did not cease revolving until
the engines nearly touched each oth
er. A mistake In the train orders or
their misreading is assigned as the
cause of the blunder.
REFORMS MAY BE HELD UP.
Martial Law, as Enforced, Would
Deprive Russian People of Benefits.
St. Petersburg.—Even the harshest
opponents Of the administration are
agreed as to the great importance of
the imperial ukase issued recently,
which annulled the most burdensome
and irritating restrictions Imposed on
the peasantry as a special class and
embodied into law reforms which bad
been urged by government commis
sions and unofficial critics of the gov
ernment for over two decades. Though
the ukase was promulgated under the
constitutional provision for temporary
laws, It is in effect an organic reform
affecting four of the most important
features of the Russian system, name
ly, the special pass regulations for tbe
peasantry, the hated rule by local ad
ministrative officials, known as rural
superintendents, the administrative
control of zemstvo elections, and lim
itations on the right of peasants to
change their avocation and residence.
The peasant, wbo, under the old
system, ordinarily was without a pass
and could leave his village only by
obtaining permission for a limited
time, a renewal of this regulation be
ing contingent upon the assent of the
commune and the payment of all com
munal obligations, is now given a reg
ular pass, which permits him to
change his residence freely In Russia.
This ukase, however. Is subject to
several Important limitations, one of
which is the nullification of most of
its provisions by the exceptional con
ditions of reinforced and extraordi
nary security and martial law prevail
ing in the greater part of Russia, un
der which discretionary punishment
may still be Inflicted by simple admin
istrative orders; the regular pass sys
tem is subject to a mass of burden
some restrictions. The purpose of the
promulgation of the ukase now is ad
mittedly for political effect on tbe
elections.

genuine alarm among the residents of

his ** years residence in this country
the correspondent has never seen the
Japanese press so agitated against
Americans.
It Is the early subscription paper

RACE ISSUE IS DANGEROUB.
Colonel Youngblood Baya Tillman
Bpeak« No Idle Worda.
Colonel William Youngblood of Ala
bama, former auditor In tbe treasury
department and a prominent republi
can, In an Interview at the national
capital, declared that a great danger
is ahead of the nation, because of the
race question.
"Senator Tillman speaks no idle
words," he says. "A great danger Is
ahead of us. It Is strange that a gov
ernment which runs oif to civilize
ihe Filipinos, to relieve the oppressed
Cuban, and which is so powerful as to
bring peace between Russia and Jap
an, is too powerless or so indifferent
to tne protection of the life, liberty
and property of Its own subjects. The
only remedy of the race issue is the
election of a nonsectional, non-racial
man to the presidency."
HUBBY OR WIFE MUST QUIT.
Say Roosevelt Objects to Both Be
ing In U. 8. Employ.
It Is understood that the president
has called upon the civil service com
mission for detailed Information re
specting the employment In govern
ment work of husbands and wives.
Serious complaints have been made
from time to time of positions being
held by the two heads of a household.
Those in close touch with the presi- •
dent declare that he has reached the
conclusion that a husband or wife
may engage in government work, but
that It Is unjust to others in the ser
vice to have both of them employed.
