and representatives from southern
states. Many chapters OF the United

Miss TAYloR STAYS OUT:
HOUSE Acts on shaiienberser's "In.
quiry" Resolution.

Quuy pSSStSeiOts
A Washington special says: The
fact that the laws governing the en-
ployes in the classified civil service Of
the United States may be set aside
whenever it suits the pleasure of the
officials, was demonstrated Monday
morning when the house, by strict
party vote, laid on the table Represen-
tative Shallenberger's resolution call
ing on the secretary of war for the
cause and reasons Of the dismissal Of
Miss Rebecca Y. J. Taylor, the war de-
partment clerk, whom Secretary Root
ordered removed because she wrcte
and published In local newspaper
an article criticising the administra-
ton policy in. the Philippines.
Chairman Gillette, Of the house COM
nittee on reform in the civil service,
reported the resolution recommending
that it be laid on the table. The dem
ocrats demanded the yeas and nays,
and all the republicans present voted
to adopt the report.
Miss Taylor was never formally
charged with any otfense 80 that she
could make answer thereto, as Is pro-
yided for in the civil service fegula-
tions; so that her dismissal was clear
ly violation Of both the letter and
the spirit Of the law, and showed that
persons employed by the government
may not expect to exercise the right of
free speech.
With this report, Gillette submitted
a letter from Secretary Root written
Saturday, in the which he following
statement is made:
mo head of department can maia-
tain effective administration il he is
obliged to depend on the service Of
clerks who are so violently opposed to
the success of the work in which they
are engaged that they are unable to
refrain from public denunciation Of the
purpose OF the work and public Insult
to the president"
AS a matter Of fact, there was no
sfnsult to the president" in Miss Tay-
lor's article. Even some Of the repub-
licans who voted to adopt the commit
tee report admit that Roots action in
dismissing the clerk was wrong, and
one for which NO satisfactorily excuse
can be made

injuries-Passensers Escaped
With a Shaking UP.

A fatal collision occurred on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railroad Thursday afternoon between
Hooker and Summit, two small sta
tions about II miles from Chattanooga,
Tenn. Four men were killed and about
fifteen others more or less seriously in
iured. Possibly two or three of the
wounded will die from the effects Of
their injuries.
The dead are: George Rollin, en-
gineer Of the accommodation train,
died after being removed to hospitals.
l.. A. Rakin, fireman of the accomm5-
aation train; James Bernard; fremas
of the fast mail train; Express Messen-
ger Webb, of the fast mail train:
All of the seriously injured were 81

Train Ne. sS; known as the Jasper
accommodation, left Chattanooga
about g:4O e'cieck p. m. It was due at
Summit at SOS. The other train, fast

hind time and the meeting point Of
these trains had been changed from
the regular station to Summit.
one of the engineers, it is said. over
looked his orders and ran past the de-
sighated meeting place:
Engineer George Rollins, Of Pike
vile; Fireman L. 4. Rankin, of Chat:
tanooga; and Conductor r. 4. Doss, Of
jasper, composed the crew Of the &C
eommpdatioa train.
The fremaRi was horribly tiang:ed
and died almost instantly. Engineer
Rollins was badly injured, as his legs
were terribly crushed and large holes
made in his head and left side. He
died while being taken to the hospital.
Engineer George J. Ray, Of the fast
mail train, is seriously injured and 1t
is thought fatally. His left side and
head were crushed and other parts o.
his body bruised. His fireman, James
Bernard, was caught under the smaller
engine and literally burned to death.
A handful of cinders and charred flesh
was all that could be found Of him.
Express Messenger Webb, OF the
fast mail train. was caught under the
debris and died shortly after having
been removed to a place OF safety.
The story of the wreck as told by
passengers on the mail train Is thrill
ing one, as they were able to see the
approaching disaster. On account OF
the position CT the track, there being a
double reverse curve at the place OF
the wreck, the passengers were able
to see from the side of the cars the ap-
preaching accommodation train. ThcC
thought it merely passing of regular
trains and did not heed the warning
until the crash came, and it was too
late to help themselves.
The accommodation train, being the
lighter one, was entirely tefescoped,
the ponderous machinery Of the fast
train plowing its way through the cars
and splintering them into kindlings.
Both engines had their position re-
versed and were thrown forty yards
from the tracks.
None of the passengers were serious
ly injured.

Governor Mcsweeney Out Of 1t.
Governor McSweeney has finally de-
cided that he will not be a candidate
for any Office in the approaching pri'
mary. He has now nearly filled his
two terms In the executive chair and
feels that he has done his full duty to
his state, his party and himself 1t
nav be added that Governor McSwee-
nev does not avoid entering the prl-
mary from any fear Of defeat, because
he has been assured that his friends
would take care of him; but that Is
neither here nor there, and Of course 1t
would have had to be tested at the prl-
mary whether he could have won or
not. It may be remarked incidentally
that Governor McSweeney has never
vet offered himself for any public or
fee in this state and been defeated.
It NAV be mentioned that a large
part of the success of Governor NC
Sweeney's administration has been
due to his absolute confidence in and
co operation with the people of the
state through their representatives.
He has not ignored county delegations,
as has been so often done by previous
governors, but, on the contrary, he
took the people into his confidence ana
counsel through the county delega-
tions.
