petition has brought about this
result. Those eastern mills have
had heavy tariff taxes in their
favor to protect them from foreign
competition, and Of course Con-

This is somewhat of a time

pinched features and pleading
eyes of the babies who toll in
factories that gain may accrue
and large dividends be declared
to, the fortunate possessor of

progressed in wealth for the past

the mother country in a thousand,
and surplus is even now more
than that OF England, France and

that undeveloped muscle and
staunted, brain have contributed
largely to swell the aggregate OF
these millions and billions, with
out having so much of it of their

that there must somehow he a

America boasts.

for the wealth accumulated fol

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
Supt. Webb of the Wagner Palace Car
Company stated that, from what he could
learn from ali available sources, the acci-
dent was due entirely to the carelesSness of
the engineer of the first train. When the
cylinder-head burst, the engineer should
have stopped, and then had his train tagged.
Instead of doing so, the man continu d run
ming his train with one cylinder. The sec
ond section Of the train was gaining time
on the first, so that when the latter was
compelled to stop, the space between the
two trains was not sufficient to avoid a
collision

Engineer Twombley Blamed for Being
Ahead of Time.

the Rock Island railroad rear Englewood,
some days ago, was resumed this morning.

into the causes of the accident. He had
found that the freight train was running
ahead Of time, and that Engineer Twombley
was mainly responsible for the accident.
TwoMBLEY WAS DRUNK.
A sensational climax ended the coro-
ner's investigation this evening. The

holding Engineer Seth Twombley and Fire
man Henry LsCloche responsible for the
wreck and committed them to jail, when
LeC1oche broke down and admitted having
perjured himself in swearing that Twomb-
ley was not drunk. The fireman then made
an extraordinary confession, telling of Lis
wild ride with the drunken engineer, son of
the master mechanic of the road LeCloche
intimated that compulsion from high
officials Of the company had prompted him
to lie.

chaaic of the road, and father Of Engineer
Twombley, said that his son had been rein
stated by him after his discharge for drunk

cannot say that it has as yet. The govern
ment chemists stationed at the mills are at
work to find ways Of improving on the re-
suits which we now get, but unless that can
be done am very doubtful about the profit
of making sugar from sorghum cane. Three
