MADRID, June 2S.-Fourteen bodies and
fifty injured persons have been extricated
from the wreck of the Bilbao train which
overturned at Neglilla river last night.
According to official information thirty
persons were killed and sixty others seri-
ously injured. Many of the latter will die.
OF the 300 passengers on the train II Is
stated that only six escaped unhurt.
The train, which was composed Of two
engines and sixteen coaches. was crossing
the bridge when the couplings between the
engines broke. The second engine left the
track and fell, followed by the entire train
into the bed of the river. Fortunately the
water was low. The nearest medical at
tendance was mile and half distant and
ed the others and did all possible until the
arrival of a relief train bringing nurses,
doctors and soldiers from Bilbao.
The train fell fifty feet from the bridge
TO the river bed. the coaches piling UP in a
mass OF splintered wood and iron work.
The scene is described as horrifying. Many
corpses were carried down the stream,
which was REDEEMED with blood. 1t was
found impossible TO extricate numbers of
the injured who were pinioned under the
wreckage- A railway guard was arrested

1t Is believed that the official figures
underestimate the number of the killed,
some accounts giving the number dead as

Bet LIKE OLD SPORTS
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BACK THEIR
MEN AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
George ". steep, of ShOrtridge, Won
Half-MiIe Race from James Quinn,
of the Nj. +. III. s.

A large crowd of high school boys braved
the wrath to come for desecrating the Sab
bath, forgot the warning orders of their
parents to attend Sunday school, and be-
took themselves yesterday morning to the
Fairgrounds to see George V. Steep, the
crack long-distance runner of the Short
ridge High School, run match half-mile
race with James Quinn, the M. T. III. S.
star athlete The former won, making the
distance. according to the watches, in
2:O2 3-5. This is much better than the rec
ord made in the dual meet, the time then
being 2:15. That was on bad track
The race had been contemplated for some
time When Quinn was beaten in the
contest at the dual meet, he claimed that
he could defeat the Shortridge man on
fast track. Steep agreed 20 give him an
opportunity and the race yesterday re-
suited. The race was soon the topic of
conversation among the schoolboys who
discussed the merits of the contestants at
the corner drug store and all meeting
places until interest was red hot.
The date of the meeting was not set
until few days ago, but all the youthful
members of the high school sporting fra
ternity were informed and the Tip" was
not long in making the rounds. 1t is said
friends who were willing, to back their
Judgment with arguments of a pecuniary
nature and about twenty-five dollars
changed hands.
The race decidedly exciting and
aroused the spectators TO a high pitch of
enthusiasm. Quinn took the lead at the
start. but the Shortridge boy pulled up at
the quarter like the winner who was never
heard of till the finish.' and led about fif-
teen yards until the stretch when the NJ
T. III. s. lad again put his supporter in good
spirits by keeping the pace and leading for
some distance. Quinn however, lacked en-
durance, and when within 100 yards of the
won by thirty yards.
The NJ. T. III. s. athletes took their de-
feat graciousy and offered no excuses The
crowd returned Immediately to town and
no doubt many a Sunday-sehool boy with
guilty conscience was kept busy from
confusing running races with the Bible les

EVIDENCE OF CIVILIZATION.



CHICAGO. June 2s.-'I am no advocate
of lynching or of mob law, but would rath-
er see a community wrought to the highest
pitch over crimes that would seem impossi-
BILE this side of hell than to remain apa-
thetic," was the declaration of the Rev. DR..
w. A. Bartlett at the First Congregational
Church to-day in a prelude on "Lynching
from Another Point of View"
DR.. Bartlett said among other things: "I
have seen so many sermons, editorials and
resolutions denouncing iynching and mob
law that one gets the impression that the
citizens who hang or burn the destroyer of
life. home and all that is held sacred by
womanhoOd are the race offenders rather
than the monster whom they destroy
I'VE seem to be so absorbed with the mai
esty of this vague term law that the no.
ton appears to prevail that the real GRIM
inals are those who do not wait for legal
processes, and the vi0latOr of wOmanhOOd
is the abused party.
I'VE shudder at the torture of the GRIM
inal who is burned. but apparently forget
tai and spiritual agony is tenfold greater
than fire. This is not race problem ex-
cept far one race are the offenders.
The white man who commits the same crime
is just guilty.
..The indignant uprising of a community,
and some Of the best men in it, TO avenge
a wrong of such awful magnitude may be
technically lawless. but the spirit which
causes the uprising is the reflection of a
higher civilization. There crimes so
dreadful that the pure and chivairous and
the strong find IL well-nigh impossible to
endure the thought that such degenerate
should pollute the earth by his presence.

penned the calm editorial might be the first
TO grasp the torch IL ii was mother, wife
or daughter who the victim.
Il say that when you look at a lynchinG
from another viewpoint 1t Is simply the
bursting forth of an Indignation and loath-
ing that will not be checked. In the Old
Testament days they made short work or
such an offender.
'Lynching is certainly a bad method and
forms the habit OF disorder and makes men
bloodthirsty. But If il is to be avoided there
certainly is called for a more sure and
speedy trial of these wretches, who often
brazenly deny crime amid red tape Of legal
processes. but confess abjectly when con-
fronted with determined men. 1t is useless
to bring to trial good men who rise up to
protect their firesides. The community will
not bear 1t. If men object to being burned
let them cease from crimes which make a
nation sick"

He Believes "Moonlight" Schedule
Should BE Adopted in Order to
Serve All the City Well.
OF THE SYSTEM
SECTIONS OF TINE CITY COULD RE-
CEIvE MUCH NEEDED ATTENTION.
Incandescent Lights Are to he Used
Streets Of the North Side.

To the Journal last night Mayor Book
walter made the first announcement of his
views on the new lighting contract soon
Public Works. Mayor Bookwalter believes
at this time that the contract should call
at first, at least, for a moonlight schedule
instead of an all-night schedule.
'It is simply a question" said the mayor,
whether the sections of the city that have
heretofore been poorly served with electric
lights, or that have had none at all, shall
be given the service to which the residents
are entitled. BY the moonlight schedule
believe we will be able to secure more
lights, so many more in fact that the whole
city can be satisfactorily illuminated dur
ing the greater part of the night. If the
all-night schedule be adopted il is certain
that we will have to put up with fewer
lights on account Of the greater expense
of the maintenance of the all-night system.
81 do not believe that the favored few,
on the North Side for instance. shall con-
tinue to be the only ones that get the ben
eft of good lighting. 1t seems to me that
every resident is entitled to the same serv-
ice. The fact has been demonstrated that
it is considerably more costly to have an
dll-nlgnt ScneQule, ana since the city can
do only so much l believe the thing to do
is to benefit all the people the greater part
of the time instead OF benefiting some of
the people all the time.
Mayor Bookwalter, City Attorney +. A.
Joss and City Engineer James b. Nelson
will meet the directors of the Commercial
Club at a noon luncheon tomorrow to
further discuss the electric light specihca-
tions. The points of difference are, wheth-
er bids shall be asked for on the city as a
whole, or whether bids shall be asked on
the underground district and the rest
of the city separately, and as 10 whether
the light rates shall be revised every two
years and a half. AS for the rest of the
specifications they have been approved in
the main by the Commercial Club.
Mayor Bookwalter said last night that an
experiment is to be tried in lighting the
heavily shaded North Side streets. Here
tofore these streets like all others. have
been illuminated by arc lights suspended
in the middle of the street. 1t has been
found that light is not diffused satisfactor-
lily on account of the heavy shade, and in
candescents will be tried. They will be
placed on posts along the sidewalks, about
four fifty candle power lights TO the
square. 1t is thought this method will
prove much better than the former system.
On Illinois the plan will be tried from ST.
Clair to Sixteenth street; on Capitol from
New York to Twenty-frst, and on Meridian
from st. Clair to Sixteenth

BARRATOERAN, Coahuila, Mex, June
miners were killed and
about fifty others seriously wounded in an
explosion of gas, Thursday night, in Las

the shock of the explosion those who were
able to move rushed for the exits, but the
falling earth and debris carried many down

broken limbs and scorched flesh
At last reports the dead bodies of twen-
ty-four men had been brought to light.
