MIDDLETOWN, O., July 6.—Th
crushed, limp body of an unldenttfie
man, taken to-day from the tangle
mars of charred steel and wood tha
yesterday was the twentieth century
limited of the Big Four railroad,
brought the death list of the dis
aster to twenty-one. Rescue part es,
still at work raking the debris, arc
convinced that there are more dead
in tne ruins.
The twenty-one dead taken from
the wreckage throughout the night
and to-day were practically all resi
dents of various Ohio cities, as are
the thirty seriously Injured lodged
In hospitals, hotels and private houses
here.
Many of those less seriously hurt
who took refuge In Middletown homes
after the disaster were able* to con
tinue their Journey to-day, but sev
eral who were at first thought to be
but slightly hurt to-day developed
serious Injuries. The total death list,
with the fatalities that will attend
many of the Injuries, will not be
known for days.
All through the night a stream of
holefn-faced men and hysterical wo
men filed through the various Mid
dletown morgues and lifted the stain
ed sheets that covered the mangled
bodies, seeking relatives and friends
Early to-day all but three of the dead
had been identified. It Is believed
that one of those unidentified Is
Prof. John Puxherry, of Manchester,
England, who Is mlesrng and was
thought to be on the wrecked train.
That the wreck resulted from a
confusion of orders there seems no
doubt, hut the exact mistake has not
been located.
The crew of the passenger train
was slightly Injured, but the freight
crew escaped without Injury

Instruction thla morn in*, "and 1 Intend
to end this rowdyism if It is neces
sary to order some of the troop* from

The general explained that there are
I no regular negro troops In camp, but
that a detachment of thirty-five men
i from the war college was detailed here
as “strikers,'' and all of them are as
signed as orderlies to staff officers.—
j Private Thomus Carroll, colored, who
was placed under arrest yesterday af
ternoon for drawing a revolver when
I challenged by Corporal E. A. How ard,
of Company B, First Virginia Regiment,
; Is one of the detail of the war college.
Carroll attempted to pa»» the lines of
the First Virginia Regiment, and refus
ed to halt when ordered by Corporal
Howard. Seeing the action of the ne
gro. Corporal J. E. Truenart. of Com
pany C. of Richmond, fixed his bayonet
and wus about to charge the colored
soldier when the situation was taken
in hand ivy Bleutenant Ernest M. Har
dy. of Company B, of Richmond. The
negro, although he had his revolver In
a position of defense, submitted to ar
rest.
The affair has merely added fuel to
the fire which has been kindled
'against the negroes, although the lat
ter appear to be peaceable enough.
The case Is now under investigation by
a provost marshall at the direction of
.General Wotherspoon.
Punish Negro.
“If Carrol! did draw a revolver," said
General Wotherspoon.'' 1 will see that
he Is severely punished. It Is serious

No serious consequences or compli

of Mtss Mary Jeffries, who broke hei
left leg below the knee Monday af
ternoon while patronizing the flying
i horses at Beach Park. The break is
I only a simple fracture.
The fact that Miss Jeffries is flftj
1 nine years old has given the doctors
I some concern but it Is not bellevea
that her advanced years will ma
terially affect tho mending of the frac

j Mtss Jeffries, whose home is at

za t ion of Department.
BEVERLY, MASS.. Ju!y 5.—"I never
have been a quitter I didn't bring any
resignation with me and 1 don't ex
pect to leave one."
This was the reply to-day of Secre
tary or tne interior Ballinger U> the
point blank question of whether or not
he had come to the summer capital to
resign his place as a member of the.
Taft cabinet.
■'1 am here to talk over with the
president a reorganization p an of the
land oihce and reclamation service,”
he said.
"The new legislation will Involve the
reogaiilzatlon of certain administrative
work in the reclamation service. 1
think the Indian oihce and the patent
oflhes and some other bureaus are now
in splendid shape.
The secretary arrived early and put
In the morning sight-seeing around
Beverly. He went to the Taft cot
tage about noon, had luncheon with the
President and was In conference with
him during the greater part of the af
ternoon.
Newell's Fate.
Although the meeting was announced
to be a conference over the issuance
of 120.000,000 of bonds to complete re
clamation projects in the West It Is
understood on high authority that the
fate of F. H. Newell, director of the
reclamation service is to be determined.
An open breach has existed between
the secretary and the b^id of the bu
reau ever since the former assumed
office and It was not lessened by the
testimony of Newell before the con
gressional Investigation committee. It
was before this body too, that Bal
linger stated his belief that Newell was
not the man for the place and letters
admitted in evidence tended to show
that he had already offered the job to
another man.
With the now army board appointed
to pass upon reclamation projects, it
is believed that Newell's services can
be dispensed with without the least
disruption of the service. It is known
that the bureau has been demoralized
for some time over the state of sus
pense consequent on the feeling that
there was to be a vigorous shawlng up.
On Vacation.
Secretary Charles t>. Norton has
gone to St. James, L. I., to spend
ten days with his family. He will
return July IS. Assistant Secretary
Rudolph Forster Is in charge.
The President's determination to
have a little v acation for the next
two weeks will not interfere with
Secretary of the Navy Meyer or finy
of the other departmental secretaries
who are summering along the north
shore from calling on the’ President
for a social chat.

SUDDEN ILLNESS TAKES
CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER
CHIEF JUSTICE
! (Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
WASHINGTON. P. C\, July
That Charles E. Hughes, already con
; firmed as associate justice, is now re
garded by President Taft as the most
I available man l'or the place made va
; vant by the death of Chief Justice
: Fuller, is the well-founded report pre
1 valant in official circles here to-day.
j At the same time wiyrd comes from
Beverly that Mr. Taft w*l1l appoint
either Lloyd \V. Bowers, solicitor gen
| oral for the Department of Justice,
or Judge Francis J. Swaysee, of the
Supreme Court of New Jersey, asso
ciate Justice.
! There is unanimity of.opinion that
Hughes will be made chief justice.
Certainly there is no doubt that at
, this time Mr. Taft's mind is made up
in this regard.
There is no such certainty us yet
whether Bowers or Swaysee will be
named for the associate justiceship,
which must be tilled. For Bowers,
the President entertains not only a
; high regard professionally, but also
a deep affection personally.
For Swaysee, Mr. Taft has a great
admiration, and when the last vacancy
i on the supreme bench was under con
sideration there was at one time a
strong chance that Swaysee and not
; Hughes would l«e selected to fill It.
Promised Place.
j On the other hand, It is authorita
tively stated that Mr. Taft has vir
tually promised Bowers a place on the
j highest tribunal in the land. < inly one
; thing stands in the way of the Bowers
! appointment. Some of the president's
advisers hold Uiat a man who has been
connected with the government trust
prosecutions should not be named since
the standard oli and tobacco cases are
not pending before the court. Hereto
fore, Mr. Taft has leaned to the opinion
that a man big enough for the supreme
i bench would not be Influenced by for
mer affiliations. If he still holds to
; this view. It is extremely probably that
the next term of court will see three
new faces—Chief Justice Hugln s. Asso
; elate Justice Bowers and Associate
Justice Swaysee. The additional ap
pointment is almost n certainty because
of the physical condition of Mr. Justice
i Moody, who. It Is believed will- retire
before fail , Congress already has
legislated to'permit him to do so on
1 full pity. It Is not believed here that
! he will return to the bench which
means’ that Mr. Taft will have to name
I two instead of iim associate juaitcea.
