UNION CITY, Ind, Jan. 20.-Big Four
passenger train No. IS, with Conductor
Brobst in charge, due here at 7:5O, crashed
into the rear end of freight train No. "a,
at Harrisville, two miles west of this city.
this evening The passenger train was
crowded with passengers, all of whom
received a severe shaking up, but none
was seriously hurt. The engine was badly
damaged and thrown completely off the
rails Fireman C. w. Williams was Sc
verely bruised and scratched about the
face. but his injuries are not thought to
be serious. The accident was caused by
the freight failing to head into the siding
in time to let the passenger by. Engineer
Kunkel had his engine under complete con-
troll, enabling him to slow down TO about
fifteen miles an hour before the collision
came.
A dispatch to the Journal from Muncie
states that Fireman Williams. who is of
Indianapolis, is seriously hurt. In jump
ing he fell among the debris and mad MS
scalp cut and was injured internally. En-
gineer Kunkel was only bruised. Conduc-
tor John Brobst also is of Indianapolis
The passenger engineer is charged, by
Freight Engineer Thompson, with having
his headlight darkened. The dispatch con-
tinues: This prevented the passenger
trainmen seeing the freight train until they
were fairly upon it. The rules are TO dark

track, showing clear right of way. The
track will not be cleared until n rnlng,

FAST BASKET BALL.
Y. NJ. c. A. Ran Away From Sixth Bat
talon SATURDAY. Night.

The expectation Of good game brought
forth large number of hilarious rooters
to witness the contest Saturday evening
between the Y. NJ. c. A. and the 9Th Bat
TALON basket ball teams in the formers
gymnasium. The home team won out by
the score of So to 0. The contest, although
one-sided, as the score indicates was not
without its features. There were some SEN
sational and well-executed plays during
the contest, one of them being a triple pass,
which was cleverly managed and which re-
suited in basket for the home team.
The soldiers were simply mot in it," as
creditabe defense which somewhat wor-
ried the home team in the first half. In
this half Ellis who had been playing a
good game, succeeded in scoring two goals.
Mercer also had two goals accredited to
him. The score at the end of the first half
was 13 to o in favor of the association.
The second half started off with vim
that was exhilarating and the home team
in this half had little or no opposition 1t
looked as If they could score at will. Dur
ing this half James was in nearly every
play. and he made a record for having
thrown the leather into the basket three
times In succession in many minutes
Altogether he had four goals from the field
and two from free toss accredited to him.
Hayne, new player on the Y. NJ. c. A.
team, showed up well. Chase also put up
a good game as left guard.
For the soldiers the Mcqueen brothers
did the best work. Bopp also showed up
well. The game was devoid of unnecessary
rough playing, although at times there
We're rather tough spills. The entire game
was also free from wrangling.

safety Valve. on Domestic Boilers.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The comment OF Mr.. ]. A AspInwall in
The Star of January 9 on the boiler exs

most just and timely. Public sentiment
should not rest until some action is taken,
official or otherwise, which shall prevent q
recurrence. Of such distressing catastros
phes. 1t seems absolutely horrible that q
contractor should go ON the stand and tes.
tify under oath that the accident would nol
have occurred had there been a safety
value attachment. have been reliably Inc
formed that when these boilers were being
installed Mr.. Howard particularly request.
ed and directed the contractor TO put In
every possible appliance eopdpcivs to effis
cheney and safety. Therefore, It would ap>
pear as X there could be-ne excuse what1
ever for the contractors failure to put in q
safety valve. The question of pecuniary
loss from the explosion is of course, ins
hniteslmal as compared with the danger
to life. We know the, members OF the How-
ard family were. with one exception. on the
upper floor when the explosion occurred.
This was a happy accident for them. for. az
might easily have occurred. had any of
them been on the basement floor. OF in the
reception room, which was so terribly
wrecked, greater loss of life would almost
certainly have ensued. The. lesson Of this
affair comes directly home to the occupants

THE BOILER EXPLOSION.
An Explanation of the System by the
Contractors.
IT,, +ho Editor ~ The Eveufnr Star:


Contractors.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star;
The reports appearing in the newspapers
relative to the bursting OF the hot water
heater in the house of Mr.. Beall r. How
ard No. 1410 10th street northwest, being
misleading. from the fact that the heater
has been referred to as fow-pressure
steam boiler instead Of hot water heater,
we desire to make the following statement:
The heating apparatus referred to was a
low temperature hot water system, pro-
vided with an expansion tank open to the
atmosphere. There were two heaters used,
both provided with valves placed on both
flow and return connections, the valves be-
ing provided only for. the reason that If
either heater should become disabled. by
closing the valves the other heater could
be used and the heating apparatus OPP
Grated while the disabled heater was being
repaired. The valves being open at all other
times. it is impossible to get pressure on
any part of the apparatus other than the
weight of water contained In the apparatus.
Mr.. Howard and the butler had been ad-
vised to leave the main valves open by
member of our firm, as well as one of our
employees, the latter advising them just five
weeks prior to the accident
As to the placing of safety valves on
steam boilers, We have never placed a
steam boiler for either high or low pressure
steam WITHOUT pfoFiuins salety Naive.
During practical experience Of twenty
four years we have never seen or heard of
a safety valve being placed on a cast-iron
sectional hot water heater for safety and,
as Mr.. w c. Dodge says. 1.-THE manufac-
turers of house-heafing boilers always fur
nish safety valves with steam boilers" and
there Is no doubt If safety valves were con-
sidered necessary on water heaters they
would also be furnished by the uanufactu-
rers, and had we thought that safety valves
would have been necessary or made the ap-
paratus In any way safer there Is no one
who would have taken more pleasure In
furnishing them than our drm.

OUT OF SQUABBLE

BAN JOHNSON'S PLAIN WORDS

Ban johnson. president Of the American

sent to A. ]. Reach Of Philadelphia in which
he scores the managers Of the National
League and declares that the American
League will not be drawn into the squabble
and will come to no agreement with the
National League until that body is worthy
of affiliation. Johnson's letter is as fol-
lows:
Mr. A. J. Reach, Philadelphia, Pa:
Dear Sir-Your letter of January 10 re-
ceived and contents noted. In the records
of the past few years ample evidence is at
hand to prove that the American League is
abundantly able to guard it's own interests.
What we know of Mr.. Brush and other
league men we gained by personal expe-
rience, and that is certainly the best
school.
THE American League is an established
major organization. 1t combatted every in
terest in organized base ball when 1t forged
its way to the top. No favors were sought

best interests could be served by the re-
establishment Of peace. consented to meet
Mr.. Spalding, believing all the while that
screened behind him were National League
people, who sincerely wanted peace in the
best interests of the sport.
Il most emphaticaly disapprove of the
childish and vindictive vaporings of the two
National League factions. 1t Is hurtful to
base ball and an imposition upon it's pa
irons. One Of Mr.. Spalding's agents went
so far as to falsely represent the attitude
of the American League
1.-The organization Of which I am presi-
dent will not be drawn into this squabble.
What We have today was secured by hard
and clean fighting When legitimate op-
portunities present themselves we will still
further seek to improve the condition Of
