WOULD LESSEN
LABOR TROUBLES

INDIANA POLLS, Aug. 8.-To bring
closer together with view to less
ening the number of strikes is the
chief aim fthe National Structural
Building Trades alliance. the perma-
nent organization of which is to be
effected at a conference begun today
by representatives of the interested
labor organizations in this city.
The national unions in the nine
principal building trades will be rep
resented. These are the Bricklayers
and Masons' International union, the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, the
United Association of Journeymen
Plumbers, Gas and Steamftters, the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters,
the Operative Plasterers National
union, the International Association
of Stationary Engineers, the National
Electrical Workers union, the Broth
erhood of Painters, and the Interna-
tional Building Laborers' union.
When the alliance is in running
order it will represent a membership
of 100000 building trade workers.
The organization will aim to facili-
tate trade agreements with the asso-
Citations of employers where no such
agreement exists, to bring about the
arbitration of trade disputes, to do
away with strikes and loockouts, and
to foster business relations between
unions and employers.

Several Americans are conspicuous

alleges that the arrest was due to the
fact that the men had designs upon

AT DOOR OF ENGINEER.
Evidence Indicates That He Disre-
garded Orders

AS far as can be learned at this time
the responsibility for the wreck lies be-
tween the office of the train dispatcher
here and Engineer S. J. Benjamin of
train No. 8. The coroner's jury has
given no verdict and will not until it's
sitting in the undertaking rooms in
Topeka on Thursday morning. Engineer
Benjamin is nearly crazed by the ordeal
through which he passed.
Orders had been issued that train No.
should pass two freight trains at
Willard, Kansas, three miles this side
the scene OF the wreck. No. 8 passed n
regular freight at Willard but did not
wait for the special with which it col
lided.
According to the evidence presented
before the coroner's jury this morning
the two trains met on a curved track
and were within 100 yards of each 9TH
er when their respective engineers saw
the headlights on each others trains.
The freight was coming at the rate of
about so miles per hour while the pas
senger was travelling about 40 miles an
hour.
Each engineer reversed his engine. and
the trainmen on each engine jumped for
safety All the trainmen will be present
at the second session of the inquest
which will be held in Topeka tomorrow,
either at Barclays or at DeMoss & Pen
wells undertak king establishment
The inquest was called as soon as posi-
Bile after the wreck by DR. Sillerthrohl,
coroner of Wabaunsee county, who is a
physician at the Mcfarland hospital.

DIR. BELLS STORY.
Man Who Started a Hospital Gives
His Experience.

1t was the uninjured passengers in
the Pullman cars who led the rescue
work. The first of these was a Mr..
Bell of New York city, a cripple. Ac-
counts of his heroism appear in every
report of the wreck. His presence of
mind was equa1led only by his retic
ence about himself and he refused un-
der any consideration to give his name
for publication. He is not q practicing
physician but had studied medicine for
three years. During the past nine
months he has been under treatment
for spinal trouble which resulted from
an injury to his hips and has caused
the shortening of one of his legs, re
quiring that he wear an iron heel and
carry a crutch.
Despite these disadvantages he was
able to direct the work of tending to
the injured and he was responsible for
the saving of many lives. Two young
women, Miss Anna and Miss Mary
Mann of Smithville, Mo, acted as
nurses and rendered almost equal SER
vice with him, working under his direc-
ton. Two sisters named Misses Rose
borough, whose homes could not be
learned, helped in the same work.
Speaking of the relief work DR.. Bell
said:
when the collision came we were
all of course in our berths. 1, was

INJURED WILL RECOVER.
DIR. Mum Says Only Case of Mrs
Hill Is Doubtful

DE-. L. H. Mum, who went with the
relief train to the wreck, said at noon
today: with the exception of Mrs.
NJ A. Hill, both of whose legs were
broken, 1 believe that all the patients
will recover. They are all doing as
we'll as we could expect"
All but three of the injured were ta-
ken to Stormont hospital. One of the
others, the colored porter who lives in
Topeka, went to his home. The two
others are at the Santa F'e hospital.
Extra nurses were summoned at
Stormont, and there was a tremendous
lot of work done this morning. Drs.
Mum, Mcclure, Powell Hogeboon,
Wehe. and others went from room to
room dressing the wounds.
BY noon, the corps of physicians
were just about tired out by their hard
work.
Many deeply pathetic incidents oc-
CURED at the hospital. For several
hours this morning the four little Ger
man children, who were taken to the
hospital were crying and weeping Bit
terly for their parents. Their mother
and her baby were instantly killed. The
father was attending to the remains
of his wife and child One boy, the
oldest, a lad of about or 8, had a
cut on his head which was dressed.
otherwise the four children ware unin-
ilIred.

EXCITEMENT IN TOPEKA.
Anxious People Crowd Station Await
ing Relief Train.


The Rock Island station was the
scene OF the greatest conmotion from
the time the first intelligence of the
wreck was received here about 1;30
o'clock this morning. At daylight
crowd of people hung about the plat
forms waiting the incoming coaches
that had experienced no damage in the
wreck. There happened to be very few
hospital train. An engine had been
sent out from Topeka and had backed
in with them.
Along the station platform were
backed up an array of ambulances and
undertakers' wagons. They told well
enough the disastrous results of the
| wreck. There hapepned to be very few
Topeka people upon the train One or
! two of the trainmen lived here.
When the three coaches with their
| burden of injured passengers reached
their removal to Stormont hospital.
They were quickly unloaded. The
| through passengers@ on the three
| coaches, none of which received any
injury beyond a broken window or two,
| spent their time In Strengthening up
their effects which had been disordered
while the cars were being used for the
| comfort of the wounded. Most of these
passengers were bound through to FL
| Paso and in the interval here sent
messages to their friends. At 9:15 the
train was again put under way, with
| the addition of two fresh day coaches.
and resumed its trip over the Union Pa
cific as far as Manhattan.
Among those who went through the
wreck uninjured We're D. E. Ryan, Mus
cotah, Kan; J. H. Wimberly, Musco-
tab; r. J. Babbin, Osceola, Iowa; G.
w. Smith, Time, Pike county, ILL.,; NJ.
J. Chaffee, Little River, Kan. The
three coaches that passed through the
wreck, a standard Pullman, a tourist
sleeper and a chair car, bore gruesome
evidences of the use to which they hal
! been put. The linen of the berths
showed where the bleeding injured had
been laid. Dirt covered the bedding
and the aisles A bloody collar lay
where it had been cast aside. The
] porters went about their tasks as usual.
