a DIM SMOKY LIGHT.
Nov Said to Be Responsible for
the Lang Disaster.

Emporia, Sept. 9.-3 p. m.-Behind the
Santa Fe westbound train that was
wrecked last night was freight train.
Its engineer stopped at Lang for ord-rs.
He says today that the red light, the
danger signal hung out by the operator
there to warn the westbound passenger
to stop, was burning SO dimly and the
glass was smoked so badly that he
could not see it till he had left his cat
and gone up close to it The dimness
of this light was probably the cause of
the accident. The engineer of the west
bound train could not see the warning
signal as he rushed past and he pulled
the throttle wide open and sped on for
Emporia seven miles away
The night operator at Lang, whose
duty it was to see to the signal lights,
was a new man at that place. He had
only been on duty there ten days.

stated that the relief train bearing the
dead and injured would arrive in this
city at midnight, but it was Sis this
morning before the engine with a chair

form Only the injured were brought
to Topeka on this train, with the excep-
ton of c. A VanFliet, the baggage

the way to Topeka. The remains of the
others killed in the wreck were held at
Emporia for an inquest today
Several hundred people were assem-

difficulty that squad of policemen
forced the crowd back sufficiently to al

cars on stretchers and carried to the
ambulances waiting at the platform
People rushed forward and pressed up
on each other in order to catch
glimpse of the disfigured faces of the
wreck victims as they were started on
their way to the hospital

were placed in one of the large wards
at the Santa Fe hospital. The tempor-

activity are several in number One
lies in 10 years tax exemption offer
OF the last legislature to lines that
should file their notices of intention
within six months and should COM

months will be up within ten days. A
second and potent reason lies in the
reJuvenation of the Santa Fe railway
system.
Under Santa Fe direction. construc
ton of lines has been announced as
follows:
From Phoenix to Globe by the Santa
Fe, Prescott & Phoenix and from
Globe to near Deming, by the Santa Fe
line itself, making q second Santa Fe

Prescott to Big Bug, from Williams to
the Grand Canon of the Colorado. from

fact, which was attested by dozens of
those who were on the wrecked cars.
He, however, asked your correspond

duty, and there was not a passenger
uninjured on either train who failed to
do just he did. so far as he could see.

1t was Impossible to get within 80 or 40
feet of the burning cars. After the fire
had burned out the rails and iron were
so hot that nothing could be done. The
crew of the wrecking train that went
down last night could do nothing on ac-
count of the intense heat. 1t did not
cool off so that work could be COM

moonlight and everything could be
clearly distinguished. Hundreds of car
riages were there from Emporia and
everyone was doing all they could to
help the injured. The boiler tubes of

boiler and were sticking upright in the
ground. The cylinder of one of the
engines was found behind the train and
lying on the right of way. Engine No.

The Southern Kansas Division
of the Santa Fe
Will Send Five Floats to the

ON ANNIVERSARY DAY
They Will Also Have Ottawa

Some Floats Will Require Two
Horses, Others Four.

The southern Kansas division of the
Santa Fe. which was thought some
time ago to be behind in reference to
arrangements for the Santa Fe anni-

lin it" when Santa Fe day arrives.
In letter to the secretary of the
Santa Fe executive committee, Mr.. NJ.
d. Henry, chief clerk in the office of
superintendent Barnes at Chanute,
states that five floats will be sent to
Topeka from that division and mentions
the probability of two bands accom-
ter is as follows:
referring to your letter of August
ID and also your letter of September 6,
to Mr.. Barnes, relative to the southern
Kansas division being represented at To-
peka on Santa Fe day, September %,
the employees had a meeting last night
and perfected an organization, and this
morning the committee had a meeting
and decided to send five floatS-two
from the mechanical department, one
from the bridge and building depart
ment, one from the track department
and one will be gotten up by the con-
ouctorS, brakemen, engineers and fire
men The question of music was also
brought up and Division Master Me-
chanic Mitchell mentioned that the en-
ployes a Ottawa would like to take the
Ottawa band with them. And if neces-
sary arrangements can be made for
tranSpOrta tiOn, we, at Chanute will en-
ploy the Independence band which is
one of the best bands in this part of
the state, and may arrange to bring a
bandwagon for it S use. Mr.. Barnes
has written Mr.. Turner upon question
OF transportation, and L think by the
time We get a reply from Mr.. Turner
viii know whether or not 1 can secure
a bandwagon.
My understanding now is that each
one of the floats can be handled with
one team of horses will be able to
:2t ascertain in a day or two whether it
viii be necessary to have four horses
TO any of them, and if so L will advise
YOU L wish you would let me know
at your earliest convenience the hour
the parade will start, as Mr. Barnes
has the question up with Mr.. Turner as
to running a special on the morning of
the 18th for such employees as can get
away on that day only
