United workmen - Fatal Southern
Pacific Accident in Oregon.

TACOMA, Nov. 29-Tspecial. l-Sensation-
al stories which have been circulated since
the Northern Pacific landslide at Canton
that twenty or more men were crushed to
death under the falling earth and rock,
and which we're published as facts in Sc
attle and Tacoma morning papers today,
are denounced by Northern Pacific OFF,
Gals here as foolish fabfications unworthy
of publication in respectable newspapers.
The Northern Pacific construction de-
partmsnt has taken cognizance of the re-
ports that mangled bodies of employees
were allowed to remain where caught un-
der the landslide, and it is authorltatively
announced tonight that In order to pre-
vent publication of such damaging false
hoods in the future, without any effort
being made to secure statement of the
facts from all the parties concerned, the
offending publishers will be compelled to
answer for the otfense.
Reports of dozen or more men being
crushed to death were given as rumors IN
the PosT-INTELLIGENcER at the time of the
accident, together with the statement of
Northern Pacific officials that positively
there were no more bodies either under
the earth and rock on the roadbed, or at
the bottom of Green river.
Principal Assistant Engineer McHenry,
his assistant, Knapp; ex-Division Engin-
eer Bedolfe, Superintendent of Telegraph
Green, Tariff Manager Hannaford, Assist
ant General Superintendent Dickinson,
General Superintendent Kimberly, and
other Northern Pacific officials. who
passed over the section where the land
slide occurred tonight, denounced the
story of twenty or thirty persons being
killed as nonsense.
DIR. t. F. Smith, Northern Pacific sur
geon, arrived at Canton two hours after
the accident. He says he found fully
twenty men returning from Canton, many
of whom said they would not work longer
for company that was careless enough to
permit such an accident. They left with
out securing pay or time checks. Later
dozen or more workmen who were bent
upon quitting the company's employ
wished to ride to Tacoma in the car con-
tanning the injured. They were not al
lowed to ride. DR.. Smith saw Mr.. Prowell,
superintendent Of the East Cascade divi-
sion, direct the gang of men in clearing
the track and turning over nearly every
shovel full of earth that caved over the
railroad. The two missing men, Erickson
and Powell, have been accounted for
Northern Pacific department officials
will go to Portland tomorrow.
