His Son Says He Did Not Leave In
dianapoiis Because of the Big
Four Wreck.
INVESTIGATION BY CORONER
1T WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL
SOME TIME NEXT WEEK.
NJ. f. washburn, Operator at North
Indianapolis, TestIhes-TeIIs OF
His ORDERS.

Coroner Tutewiler will not complete his
investigation of the Big Four wreck of last
Saturday before the latter part OF next
sweek. There are perhaps fifteen witnesses
TO be examined before the coroner will be
able to decide definitely where the RESPONSE
bility Is to be located. AS the testimony
progresses. different points that were here
toforc not perfectly clear in the coroner's
mind, have made themselves so and the Of
fcer believes that within the next week he
will be able to lay the responsibility of the
awful disaster at some ones door.
Among the important witnesses whom the
coroner desires to examine is /. Fl. Bishop,
the Big Four's operator at Shelby street.
1t is declared that Operator Bishop should
nave received information from Kankakee
of the the movements OF the special and
that he should have communicated this IN
formation to Yard Master Thomas. The
latter declares he received no Information
regarding the special. The coroner natur-
ally reasons that had the yard master
known the special was coming from Lafay-
cite. he would OF course have held the coal
cars that went out on the main track The
question with the coroner is whether Bish-
op received ORDERS from Kankakee and If he
did. why did he fail TO post them. Mr..
Bishop Is at present ava from the city,
but his friends say his going away had
nothing TO do with the coroner'S investi-
CATION. Ii is explained that his wife is in
i'll health in Omaha and that he was gone
there to bring her home. Last night his
san ~telephoned Coroner Tutewiler that his
father had not run off, and would return
at. once II the coroner desired him as a wit
ness. He offered to telegraph his father 10
start home immediately. The coroner told
the young man he would let him know to-
day whether or not the presence of his ia
Their Is required at once.
Among the witnesses who yesterday told
what they knew of the wreck, was NJ. Il.
WaShburn, operator at North Indianapolis,
who testified that when the special passed
through the suburb. IL was running fifty
miles an hour. II is the rule for trains 10
check their speed at the orkhous in order
to make the curve safely. He received the
message from Kankakee in plenty of time,
he said The only way IN which he COM
municated IL 10 North street was TO ask,
HAS No. $50 cleared?' BY the time North
street received the dispatch the two trains
had met. The North Indianapolis operator
testified that IL was not his duty In this
case to announce the approach of the Spe-
cial. His orders only extend 10 North street
In cases where one train Is following an
other. In this case there were different
sections. When the first passed him 1T was
only necessary before he could let another
section by TO know if the first had
cleared"

The worlds Seven Wonders.

New York Press.
The seven world wonders of antiquity
were:
The Pyramids, Babylon's Gardens, Maui
solus's tomb, the Temple of Diana, the
Colossus OF Rhodes. Jupiter's Statue by
Phidias and the Pharos of Egypt, or, as
some substitute. the Palace Of Cyrus.
The seven wonders OF the middle ages
were:
The Coliseum of Rome. the Catacombs of
Alexander. the great wall OF China, Stone
celain tower OF Nankin and the Mosque of
st. Sophia at Constantinople.
How will these compare with the seven
wonders OF the modern world? Perhaps
there may be a difference of opinion as re-
CARDS the latter day wonders, but permit
me TO name these:
The steam railroad. the telegraph. the
telephone. the wireless telegraph, the ocean
steamship, the submarine man-of-war and
the airship.
We of the new world nave a few Won
ders, seven OF which are:
The Brooklyn bridge. the underground
railroad, including tunnels TO Jersey City
and Brooklyn. the Washington monument,
the capitol at Washington, with its dome
weighing 100000 pounds. the modern steel
skyscraper. the Echo mountain searchlight
of $4,000 candle power and the United
States Steel Corporation.
We're speaking of things made by man:
OF these wonders given to us by God the
seven are.
Niagara Falls, the Mammoth Cave. Old
Faithful. the ~tireless geyser in Yellowstone
Park. the big tress tsequoia) OF California.
the Grand Canyon OF the Colorado, the
great fresh water lakes and the great Salt
Lake.

ROSE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.
Visitors Expected from British
SchOols-COncrete Beam Tests,

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 1.-TWO
members of the Moseley commission from
Great Britain are expected at Rose Poly
technic Institute. They are Prof. Magnus
MacLean and Prof. William Ripper. the
former professor of electrical engineering
in the Glasgow Technical Institute and the
latter professor Of mechanical engineering
in the Sheffield Technical Institute. The
commission Of thirty men has divided it's
work according to the qualifications of the
membership and the two scientists who
come to Rose are especially qualified TO
judge of the institutes standard.
The greatest series of tests of concrete
beams ever conducted in this country is
being made at Rose. The beams are REIN
forced by corrugated steel bars and are
from ten to twenty feet in length. Such
beams can be used in railroad bridges and
culverts and If the tests prove their sumo
rior strength it is thought there will be a
radical change In this branch of architect
ure. The experiments are being made for
a st. Louis company under the supervision
of Professor Howe, Of the faculty, and T.
L. Condron, of Chicago. a graduate of Rose.

NONUNION MINERS DEPORTED.
Assaulted by Strikers, Put on Railway
Cars and Sent Away.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 6.-Trouble
between union and nonunion miners of the
Coal Creek district broke out late yesterday
and a general fight ensued at the mines of
the Coal Creek Company. AS one hundred
nonunion miners came out of Thistle mine
from work they were met by two hundred
union miners, who, after ~assaulting several,
took the whole number prisoners and
marched them to the railroad station and
put them on train for Jellico, paying fares
for each.
The Coal Creek Company accepted the
scale of wages set out in the recent opera
tors and miners joint conference, but the
company proposed to make contracts with
the individual miners instead of with the
miners union. This was combated by
union miners, with the result that the COM
pany recently ordered all union miners to
quit it's employ and vacate its houses.
Ejectment suits followed and are set for
hearing Nov. 16. This company has for
years employed both union and nonunion
miners and has paid the union scale.
