ANOTHER BAD BURLINGTON SMASH
A Farmer Burned to Death in the Wreck-Nine
Others Are Injured-A Heavy Cattle Train
Breaks in Two.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sterling, ILL.,, Nov 22.-John ]. Besse, a
farmer living at Erie, ILL.,, died an awful
death near Walnut in a bad accident on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road.
A heavy stock train broke in two at the
top of a steep grade on that road. The
rear section, cut loose from the engine
and part of the cars, ran down the grade,
gathering headway as it ran, until it was
laundering along like an avalanche. A
freight train, in whose caboose were trav-
cling a number of passengers, lay direct
ly in the path of the runaway train.
There was frightful crash.
For an instant all was still, and then
the groans of the injured and the shrieks
of those who were fastened inextricably
in the wreck, rose on the air. The five
heavy stock cars were full of cattle, and
the poor, doomed animals made the most
frightful din with their bellowings. Tc
make matters worse, fire broke out in the
wreck, and in spite of all that could be
done Besse was consumed in the flames.
Nine others were injured, but all were
taken from the wreck before the flames
reached them. The injuries of two, G. NJ
Hunter, residence unknown, and A. w
Staley of Solon, Iowa, are so serious that
it cannot yet be told whether they will

ENMITY Is TOO STRONG
Abandonment of the Idea as Party
Measure Necessary.
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MEASURE
trOduce Their Bill and Separate
Measure May Follow.


Washington. Nov. 22.-Opposition to the
ship subsidy bill has developed to such an
extent during the last sixty days that, in
the opinion Of many persons supposed to
be informed, no determined effort will be
made at this session of congress to pass
the measure. In fact, there is a rumor
current that a conference was recently
held between the active promoters of the
subsidy scheme at which 1t was practi-
cally decided to abandon the whole prof.
ect for the present. The situation was
carefully gone over and it was positively
decided, it is said, that it would be impos-
sible to put the subsidy scheme before the
people as a republican party measure.
There was, it is believed, some differ
ence of opinion among the promoters as
to whether the whole matter should be
dropped, but there was no question as to
the necessity Of abandoning the idea of
making it party measure.
1t is said the conference considered the
feasibility of abandoning the original idea
entirely, allowing the Mississippi valley
members to introduce their bill for a
subsidy based solely on actual freight
carried without regard to time, and then
pass separate bill carrying large bonus
for transporting the Atlantic and
trans-Pacific mail. This latter scheme
would be exclusively profitable to the
American line in the east and the Pacific
Mail company in the west, which were the
two corporations intended to be benefited
by the original ship subsidy scheme.

assured by the credit of the government,
they would gladly forego the uncertain
ties and harrassments which are INSOFAR
able from the present system of private
ownership.
1t is too early as yet to say what turn
will be taken in the discussion which will
take place in congress. 1t will naturally
be closely allied with the talk of trusts
and their control. President Roosevelt
has taken a real interest in this subject
and will handle it in his message. 1t is
not impossible that he will take notice
of the more recent phenomena in the rail-
road world, and it need cause no surprise
If he suggests that congress give it's at
tention to remedies for the evils which he
will call to their attention.
The Shipping Interests.
The allied shipping interests of the mid
die west have been preparing to renew
their fight of last winter to have in
creased powers given the interstate COM
merce commission. Their bill was de-
feated at the last session at the command
of Senator Hanna, chairman of the repub-
lican national committee. It's defeat was
a condition precedent to the contributions
which the railroads were expected to make
to the campaign fund Senator Cullom,
the father of the present commission, was
then chairman of the senate committee on
interstate commerce: now there is a new
chairman, Stephen ]. Blkins of West Vir-
ginia, a professional railroad promoter
and proprietor. Little may be expected
from that committee.
The battle of the shippers is likely to
take a new line this winter. Many repub-
licans are anxious to get into the game
early, realizing that delay may permit the
democrats to make it a party issue. They
believe that the railroad situation, like
the tariff, will best be handled by the
railroads friends.
When congress takes up the question of
government ownership of railroads, Con-
gresham McCleary of Minnesota. who
studied the question last summer in Eu-
rope, going abroad with that idea in view,
and who for years at home has given it
close attention, will be in position to
make himself a commanding figure He
had a "hunch" more than a year Vgo
that the day was not far distant when this
subject would come before congress. and
so he wisely prepared himself in advance.
Probably no man in either house of con-
gress is at present so well qualified TO
discuss the question as Mr.. McCleery.

ON ISTHMUS
Colombian Government Can
not Guarantee Protection
for Transit.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 22.-It is reported
that the government has addressed a COM
munication to the United States consul
setting forth that it cannot guarantee pro-
lection for isthmian transit.
Two sailing boats having seventy SOL
diders on board, which left Panama with
General Alban, returned to that place at
D. m. yesterday and General Alban and
fifty soldiers arrived there on board the
gunboat Boyaca at D m.
The liberals here assert that General
Lorenzo attacked General Adams force
after 1t had landed at Chame. near Choir
rera, and defeated it, only General Alban
and few of his troops escaping. 1t is
also claimed by the liberals that the other
division of General Albans army was
routed by General Lugo, when 400 of AL
bans troops joined the liberal ranks.
The liberals at Colon are jubtlant and
assert that they expect General Lugo to
arrive at Colon momentarily.
Further details of the later decisive
fighting are expected at Panama at any
moment.
New York, Nov. %. - Consul General
Arthur o. D. Brigard, of Colombia, re-
celVeQ caDleSram to-day from General
Charles Alban. governor of the depart
fnent Of Panama. The cable stated that
General Alban would attack the insurg-
ents under General Domingo Diaz to-day
at Chorrera and Alban promised, If sue
cessful in routing them, to proceed to
Colon and retake that city. The consul
general regards the outcome of to-day S
fight as highly important. If General
Diaz should conquer, the entire isthmus
will be in the hands of the liberal in
surgent party.

CROzlER LIFTED
Appointed Chief of Ordnance
and May Last Eigh-
teen Years.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The president to-
day appointed William Crozier. chief Of
ordnance with rank Of bragadier general
The appointment was made largely upon
the recommendation of Secretary Root.
General Crozier has demonstrated his
ability in nearly every department of
ordnance and has shown a wide knowl-
edge of all affairs pertaining to his pro-
fession. He was the military member
for the United States at The Hague peace
conference and was largely instrumental
in bringing about the agreement finally
reached for more humane conduct of war.
General Crozier is a native of Ohio and
was appointed to the military academy
from Kansas in 1872. When he graduated
in 1876 he entered the artillery and was
transferred to the ordnance in 1881 He
became captain after four years sery-
ice in 1890 During the Spanish war he
was appointed a major and inspector
general. During his career as ordnance
officer he has given strictest attention to
guns and gun carriages and was Joint
inventor with General Burlington. who re-
tired to-day, Of the Burlington Crozier
disappearing gun-carriage.
Some difference of opinion exists among
army officers as to whether General Gro
zier's appointment is permanent or
whether it is detail Of four years under
the army reorganization law The opin-
ion of Judge Advocate General Davis is
that the appointment is permanent. Gen
eral Crozier will not retire until 1919 and
if the contention is sustained that his ap
pointment is permanent his term as chief
of ordnance will be nearly eighteen years
and will preclude the possibility Of any Of
the ordnance officers who have heretofore
ranked him reaching that grade before
they retire.

MOVES CASE RESULT
What Will Follow if Judge Noyes
Goes to Jail.
IN THE ROLE OF Prosecutors
Bias of the California Court Clearly
Established i'm the Minds
of COngressmen.

From The Jour7tat BureGW. Room kS POst
B"ttdt1GG, WCsSIin0ts9S-
Washington, Nov. 22.-There are rumors
of some action in congress this winter
in the direction Of an inquiry as to the
general character and trustworthiness of
the federal bench in California. 1t is
known that the desirability of an inyesti-
cation is already being considered by
prominent men in both houses. Nothing
may come Of it, but talk of this charac-
ter about United States judges is heard
so seldom as to give it in the present
case almost sensational tinge.
By a great many people the federal
bench of California is believed, whether
Intentionally or not only the investigation
can establish, to have lent itself to the
plans Of the San Francisco capitalists
who for more than year have been pur-
suing Judge Noyes of the United States
court in Alaska. First these men got
after Alex Mckenzie, one of the officers
of the Alaskan court, and sentenced him
to jail for year for contempt Next
they had Judge Noyes placed under ar
rest, and he is now struggling in San
Francisco to clear himself of contempt
charge. The bias Of the California court
is clearly established in the minds of a
good many men in congress, and it is
their purpose to consult the attorney gen
eral of the United States for the purpose
of determining whether he entertains
opinions which harmonic with their own.
Naturally, these members have been
friendly to Mckenzie mad Noyes, but their
familiarity with the contempt proceed
ings is of a character to give their opin-
ions some weight, Independently of their
leanings. Should Noyes escape Jail SEN
tence it may be that nothing will be done,
but should he be treated as Mckenzie
was, 1t is almost certain that his friends
in congress will try to bring about gen
eral overhauling of the California federal
judiciary 49,
