THE DEATH LIST IS GROWING
NINE VICTIMS OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA WRECK.
Crowds of People Visit the Scene of
the Accident and Carry Away
Blood-stained Mementoes.

Reading, Pa, May 1.-THE total num-
Der of dead as result of Friday nights
collision near here, reached twenty
nine today, William D. Jenkins of Nor
ristown dying at the hospital at that
place.
OF the large number of persons still
in the hospitals here. three are in a Sc
rious condition and small hope is enter
tanned for their recovery. They are
William Friedenhorn. Thaddeus S. Adj
lee and George w. Holmes all of Nor
ristown. Holmes 9-year-old son was
instantly killed in the accident, but the
hospital physicians have not yet in
formed the father of the boys death.
All of the dead here have been identi-
fed.
AT least 10000 persons visited the
scene of the wreck today Almost
everybody was bent on carrying away
some kind of memento. Many of the
people did not hesitate to take away
with them pieces of wood thoroughly
saturated with human blood
The body which was yesterday
thought to be that of c. II. Howell of
Phoenixville, Pa, was today positively
identified as that of Captain Charles
T. Street of Philadelphia.
The question as To whom is responSi-
BILE for the catastrophe is still being dis
cussed here. That some one blum
dered is generally admitted by railroad
men. Who it was that Numbered. how
ever no one seems to know positively
The Reading railroad officials here to-
day took the statements of the train
men who were concerned in the affair.

GOOD BALL
And the Short Lines Are Again In
Mourning
BY A SCORE OF II TO 9
THOUSAND PEOPLE WITNESSED
A FINE GAME.
Short Lines Started In to Cut Wide
Swath, and Scored Five Times
Before They Stopped-Then the
Situation Changed = Hughey's
Splendid Work.

Fully 1000 people paid admissions to
the Fort Douglas grounds yesterday
afternoon TO see the Salt Lake aggre
cation down the Short Lines in a
rafting good game of ball. Judging
from the enthusiasm shown, each
spectator seemed to get the full worth
of his money, and the crowd was ap-
parently satisfied with the result. a
score of II to 8. 1t was a disheartened
lot of railroad boys who realized their
last hope to be gone when that final
fatal fly from Shannon's bat was taken
in on a very sensational catch by
Meinecke at second base.
The defeat following so closely upon
that of the day. before, was a
double concentrated pill of bitter
ness for the Short Line palate, but
the boys have the season before them,
and plenty of time in which to re-
cover.
Hughey was the happy possessor of
a strong arm yesterday and the Salt
Lake pitcher played a swell game after
the first inning, holding them down to
nine hits. He was a little wild in the
first, hitting two men. Taylor for the
Short Lines was not in such good form

Notes of the Game.

Editor Fred Nelson of the Utah Dem
ocrat occupied a privileged seat on the
scorers bench and was an interested
spectator.
The bluff just outside of the grounds
to the east was yesterday the-impro-
vised grandstand for numerous ones
who would not come inside for fear they
might get hit by the ball.

The pleasant smile that overspread
Knickerbocker's handsome features
when he made prize hit in the eighth
was not lost on the ladies.
Barker did not get chance to play,
but he certainly made up for it by much
effective gesticulating and well-directed
sentences on the coaching line.
1t is suggested that a table and chairs
be provided for the special use of the
press.
A game between the Y. NJ. c. A. and

of Miners affiliated with our federation.
1t is a law of the federation not to give
monetary support to an organization
until it has been affiliated with US for
at least six months. and we, conse
quently, did not feel it incumbent on
us to support the Leadyille strike, and
they drew out, after being with us less

In partisan politics we taken no part
as an organization. OF course we have
/ in the past succeeded in having passed
a great deal of legislation in the inter-
/ est of the laboring man, and perhaps TO
/ that extent we are in politics We are
/ always working to get the various par
| ties to adopt certain planks in their
platforms. For instance, back in 1892
we announced ourselves for the free
| coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l.
and now the Democratic party has
taken it up. And l might instance other
matters, such as the eight-hour day.
But as far as partisan politics is con-
| cerned, we do not work as an organiZa-
| ton"
Opposed to Expansion.
THE federation has announced itself
on the subject Of expansion, has it
not?"
Most emphatically. We are a unit
against anything in the shape of ex-
pansion or imperialism. The indiscrim-
mate slaughter of our young men which
is going on III the Philippines is repug-
nant to US as men and as an organiza-
! ton. They talk about the war with
( Filipinos as being a war in the inter
ests of civilization. BAH They want to
annex the Philippines so as to further
the commerce of the country. They
are looking for the almighty dollar
| That is about the size of it. They say
that if you scratch a Russian you'll
see the Tartar showing through; well,
! if you scratch an eXpansionst you see
the dollar sign. The first people in Asia
to attempt to set up a republican form
of government were the F'ilipinos, and
now we, who claim to be the apostles
of freedom, are endeavoring to stifle
that little beginning of republicanism in
the Orient.
1T all tends to Imperialism and mill
tarism. Pretty soon the powers will
be partioning China and then you'll
see America there looking for a slice
with the rest of them. It's all wrong,
it's against the spirit of the consti-
tuition. and where it will end none of
US can foresee."
Salt Lake Programme.
Mr. Gompers arrived SO late yester-
day afternoon that the plans of the
committee having in charge his recep-
ton were somewhat disarranged. He
spent quiet afternoon with the lead
ers of the labor unions of the city
among them County Commissioner
George a. Whitaker. who is an old
friend. In the evening Mr.. Gompers
had an informal meeting with members
of the Miners federation and the West
ern Labor Union. This evening he will
be the guest of honor of the Retail
Clerks union at the mask carnival in
the interest of the Salt Palace. and to-
morrow he will address the union men
and all who are interested at the Grand
opera house. After his lecture he will
confer with the Utah Federated Trades
at the rooms of the latter organization
in the Hooper-Eldredge block. Wednes-
day evening Mr.. Gompers will leave for
Ouray, Colo, and the east. He expects
to return to the west in the near future
to speak at Butte and Idaho points
filling at that time the engagements he
was unable TO meet owing to the re-
cent death of his daughter.
