Baltimore, Md. July 1.-The roof
OF the Union rnilroad tunnel in the
eastern section of the city, used and
controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, caved in shortly be-
fore two o'clock Saturday morning.
1t is supposed that u defect in the
arch of the tunnel caused the acci-
dent.
a narrow escape from death or
serious injury was experienced by
the passengers and crew of an ok
press train, which was caught by the
falling debris in the. tunnel.
The train was he regular north
bound express which leaves Union
station at los o'clock in the morning,
consisting of three baggage and ex-
press cars and three passenger
conches. AS far as can be learned.
the avalanche of earth and rocks
caught the rear express car which
was Immediately in front of the pas
senger cars. The train was not rum
ming at high rate of speed, and the
jar was not severe. The engineer
quickly brought his train to a full
stop, and word was sent from sig
nal tower to Union station. A yard
engine was sent into the tunnel and
the th:nly-fihed passenger coaches
were drawn back to Union station
without the occupants being aware
of the danger through which they
had passed. The houses on each side
seem perilously close to the brink,
and should any further cave-in occur
they must be precipitated into the

hereafter he would consider that all

that locality. In that event there is
no doubt that the state department

But as it stands. the flag appears to

especially this all-important subject,
because the question Of how to deal
With bovine tuberculosis depends up
on the solution of this problem.
told the Committee that thus far the
money and efforts already spent to
eradicate the disease in cattle in this
state had accomplished practically
nothing, and other states that had
not spent dollar were just as well off
as our own was. predicted the men,

tuberculosis is common, human tuber-

themselves practically outside the
consumptive belt.
That Committee has been working
on the subject for the past six months
and have examined over sixty witness
ses, more than half of whom were ex-
perts, among them men eminent in
the several professions, biology, medi-
cine and veterinary surgery, and they
selected especially men who have Civ

port states that Evidence taken by
the Committee would indicate that

tract tuberculosis from meat or milk

made to that Committee last August
has been fulfilled, and the recommen-

State to give cattle owners full infor-
