THE TACOMA TRAIN WRECK.

Engineer Dexter Not to Blame for the
Accident-Taibot's Leg Amputated.
TACOMA, Nov. 30-lSpecial. THE remains of
Engineer Fred Dexter, who died from injuries
received In the runaway-train collision on the
Northern Pacific railroad near the wharf yard
Saturday night. will be buried at D. m to-
morrow from the residence of w. P. Bonney,
sol North street. Mr.. Bonney is STEP brother
OF the deceased. The Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen will attend in a body.
Fireman Powers said tonight: 'While com.
ing down the grade Dexter was urged to jump
from the runaway. No. said he it's better
that should be killed than that half dozen OF
more be sacrificed He was not excited. He
believed it his duty to stand by his post and
blow sharp danger-blasts from the whistle,
thus warning all ahead. Had he not done this
the switchman at the Fifteenth street crossing
probably would not have held back tie Seattle
train, then on the drawbridge near by. and
switched the runaway on the track to the
wharf,"
Indignation was expressed at the meeting of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen here
today at the report published In local paper to
the effect that Dexter was drinking man and
guilty Of carelessness. The truth is, say repre-
sentatives of the brotherhood, that Dexter was
never known co touch drop of liauor In his
life, and was one of the most careful men in the
employ of the company. Fireman Powers who
escaped with slight injury by jumping from the
engine, says Dexter did not start from Center
street. on the down grade. until the signal for
him to do so was repe tied. It was certainly no
fault Of his, they say. that the brakemen, Nc.
Cracken and Sullivan, did not get aboard to
man the brakes on the down grade. Besides,
the rails were wet and slippery, aud the air
brakes being out of order aud not connected
Dexter's eng ne could not hold tn, train. If it
had been one OF the regular switch engines aud
not a passenger engine, railroad men say Dex-
ter could have held the train without brakemen
and air brakea
The dead mans companions say that the first
liquor that ever passed his lips was taken az a
sIimulant while he was being taken TO the
hospital last evening. Dexter lived with his
mother at Lakeview. aud had been persuaded
by her to give up railroading at the expiration
OF his apprenticeship term, about fivs months
hence. Heretofore ne had been employed as
fireman, aud mis- only desire in remaining with
the company was TO secure the credentials due
him at the expiration of his apprenticeship, in
order that he might not be compelled, if ever he
had to resort to railroading again, to begin at
the bottom of the ladder as fireman. He was
aged 80 years.
Bcokkeeper Talbot, of the Northern Pacific
car shops. VINO was riding into town in the cab
OF Dexter's engine, and whose right heel was
crushed ard the right leg broken AT the knee, is
still at the Fanny Paddock hospital AS pre-
dicted in this mornings PosT INTELLIGEScER,
his leg was today amputated near the knee.
His wife is with him at the hospital.

A LEGAL GOLD NINE.


Four Thousand Cases of Extortion VIII
Cost New York Railroad S275.00O.
NEW YORK. Nov. So-fspecial something
over year ago Lawyer John AckeTson, OF the
law firm OF Ackerson Bernard. went TO the
races 81 Norris Park. and paid 50 cents railroad
fare. At the time 1t seemed to him that he
had q very short ride for the valne and
he reflected ON the mater when he
returned TO his home. The result OF
his reflections was the discovery that
the New YORK, New Havs n & Hartford railroad,
Harlem river braneA, which line he rode over,
had charged him IA cents more than the mini
mum rate per mile allowed by law for the dis
lance and that the state law provided as a pen.
ATTY for such extortion the return of the
excess over. the legal fare and $50 ad-
ditional. Lawyer Ackerson had discov-
cred what looked TO him like
gold mine, for he and his partner at once went
10 work to secure as clients as many as possible
of the race'goers who had attended the Morris
Park meeting and paid so cents fare to the N.
Y, N. H. d. II. railway. Ackerson
did not live To reap the golden harvest,
for he was murdered q short time later by q
truckman. His par.ner. Bernard, associated
himself with another lawyer, however, and
Williams Bernard. attorneys for something
like 1.5co people who had paid the overcharge,
have just Obtained verdict In q test case, and
the railroEd beaten at every turn, has paid the
penalty on the test case.
Four firms Ia all have been at work drum
ming up ciienls, and the total number of cases
pending is just about 1900. Oftnese Meyer
Tuck have llSs, and williams 4 Bernard are
said TO have i,500. Other firms have nearly
1000 each The penalty III each case il
$50, the excess over legal fare IA
cents, and the costs in each case
will swell the sum 70 1914. The lawyers had
promised to be resp ,nsible for all the costs and
agreed to accept half the judgment, so that each
of these who paid SO cents are will recover
s2507, and the remand soes to the lawyers.
