Grand Jury Reports Findings on the
Westfeld Wreck.

q Elizabeth, n. J., March The
grand jury which has been conducting
an inquiry into the wreck on the New
Jersey Central railroad near WestfieId
Oh January q. today made a present
ment to Judge Vail. The grand jury
finds that Engineer Davis of the Phil
adelphia and Reading train was prim-
arily responsible for the wreck, he
having passed signals set against him;
but that a leaky injector had envelop-
ed his cab with steam, obscuring his
view. The jury says that the cars
We're of ancient make and weakly put
together and that they were heated
by coal stoves. The railroad officials
they add, should have notified Davis
at Jersey City that the Easton local

in this, should have notified him at

Indians Quit Work on Santa Fe Be
cause of Race Prejudice.


The Santa Fe is having troubles Of its
own in Needles. Cal. The old saw says
that money is the root of all evil; pre-
sumably. much money. But is case
where too little money caused the ire
of twenty-five Japs and twice as many
Indians and is the reason why the COM
pany's chief straw boss on the Needles
section is running extremely short hand
ed Of able bodied men just the present
time. It is a case of losing S17 as re-
suit of an attempt to save 80 cents, and
now the company IS sorry. 1t happened
in this wise. says the San Bernardino
Sun.
For some time the company has hired
Indians on the section in the vicinity Of
Needles. paying them each $3.50 per day
In an evil moment the company officials
became imbued with a streak of econ
omy, and, knowing that they could hire
Japs through the Los Angeles employ
ment bureau at $1.05 per day per head,
they loaded twenty-five Of the little
brown men into car and sent them
out to the desert town the first day in
this week. To make room for the con-
signment twenty-five of the bucks were
occupation elsewhere. and the Japs in
stalled, at a saving of 45 cents over the
expense Of keeping their predecessors.
Last Monday. however, the unexpected
happened, when the remaining descend
ants of Mud-in-the-Eye, or some other
chief. indignant at the way in which his
tribesmen bad been treated, hung out
their war feathers and refused to longer
WELD the pick and shovel No amount
of persuasion could get them to return
to the spike and sledge of civilization.

CONSIDER TWO CENT RATE.
Railroads May Make a Cut in First
Glass Fares.

Chicago. March There is little basis
for the report that as a result of the
passage of the Elzins law by congress
the Central Passenger association lines
propose to abolish second class fares
and special rates and reduce the pas
senger rate to ?. cents a mile. The ques-
ton of abolishing second class fares IS
to be considered at the meeting OF the
Central Passenger association in Chicago
next week. but this is not due TO the
passage of the Elkins bill.
The question Of abOlishing second
class fares Commissioner Donald says,
has been under consideration at different
meetings during the last two years.
Few second class tickets are sold by the
Central Passenger association lines, and
they are not honored by the trunk lines
east of Buffalo, which abolished them
several months ago. There is not enough
second class business to provide special
cars for it. and, as a rule, second class
passengers are put in smoking cars
Many object to riding in smoking cars,
however, and these have to be carried
in regular first clas scars. 1t also gives
roads an opportunity to sell second class
tickets to first class passengers, and
thus practically to cut the rates. No
second class tickets are being sold by
the western roads between Chicago and
St. Paul and Chicago and Missouri river
for the reasons a above stated.

Prof. Green Discovers Way to Render
Apple Tree Roots Frost Proof.

Prof Green, 6fsthe state experiment
TAI farm, has been experimenting, and
now says he has prepared an apple
tree root that viii not be susceptible to
the frosts. -
AS many suppose, the scheme of
Prot Green is mot to have a small
stove connected with the root of the
tree. His idea is to use the root of
the siberian crab apple tree. This par
t1cuiar kind of apple tree root has been
subjected to thAsmost. severe weather
tests, and, according to the professor,
has survived. AZ
These tests have been made for a
period OF ten ye9rs, and every kind of
apple tree has Been grated onto the
root OF the Siberian crab and has been
found to surviveSand thrive.
The output of apples in Minnesota
Ior 1902, very favorable year, was
z00, 600 bushels, and the crop was sold
at 81 per bushel.
The result Of Prof Green's expert
ment means that not only the present
area OF thirty five counties of the state,
where it is possible to raise apples, will
De more than doubled, but that all
parts of the state will be able to put
forth good crop Of apples every year.
The new rootswill soon be distributed
among the farmers and horticulturists
of the state

ANOTHER CAUCUS
is TO BE HELD
Democratic Council Majority
Is Arranging for a Con-
ference Sunday.

The Democratic majority of the two
council bodies will try its hand at an
other caucus on the corporation at
torneyship Sunday evening. This date
was suggested yesterday and the call
was sent out to the various members.
Sunday is a time when business inter-
ests will not interfere, and it is hoped
it will enable those who were not pres
ent Wednesday evening to attend.
President Henry Haas, Of the COM
mon council, yesterday issued a call
for a meeting of that body Monday
evening at 8 o'clock, at which time the
election of a corporation attorney will
be attempted.
Yesterday the Democratic leaders
spent large part of their time in try
ing to influence the members absent
from the caucus Wednesday evening
to come over to the Michael standard,
but what success attended their eff
forts they refused to say.

NEW TRIAL GIVEN
IN LIBEL ACTION
Judge Sanb0rn Reverses the
Order of the Circuit Court
of Iowa.

Judge SanbOrn, of the federal circuit
court OF appeals, yesterday filed a de-
clsion in the case of Tyndale Palmer
against the Journal Printing. Company
OF Muscatfne, Iowa, affecting similar
cases in which $4,000, 900 is involved.
The decision filed yesterday reverses
the order of the circuit court for the
southern district of Iowa and awards a.
new trial to the plaintiff.
The plaintiff sued 800 paDers
throughout the country for $50, 900 each
as damages for the publication of an
article alleged to have been IbeIous in
nature. The article was sent out i'm
the form of ''plate matter by the Kel-
Iogg Newspaper Agency of Chicago,
and stated that the plaintiff had en-
bezzled $4,000 from his employers. 1t
was claimed that he had sold a patent
Tor 100000 and turned IN only $4,000.
retractfon was demanded and the
statement that the plaintiff denied the
story was printed in all of the publica-
lions In which the original article had
been published. Following this, when
a demand was made for a settlement
under threat of suit, defendants print
cd an article claiming defendant was a
blackmailer, who had instigated the
publication of the plate matter in order
to bring the suits.
In the decision Judge Sanborn holds
that publication that reads that the
hbefed party denies the published story
is not a retraction in any sense what
ever.
