HEAVY PU[LMANS
CRUSHED COACHES
Fearful Loss of Life In Tennes-
see Wreck Caused By
SIeepers' Weight

s KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 25.-The
death list as result of the fearful
wreck on the Southern railroad near
Newmarket, Saturday, has grown to-
night to sixty-two, and 1t will probably
exceed seventy before Tuesday, as
many of the injured are in a serious
condition and more deaths will occur
at the hospital. Today sthere were six
deaths at that Institution.
A force of $50 men toiled all day
long at the scene of the wreck. Before
2 o'clock Sunday morning the track
was cleared to through trains, but it
required many hours to clear the de-
bris.
Engineers Parrott and Kinne were
found beneath their engines, but their
bodies were not badly crushed Small
fragments of bodies were found in
many instances today. but it issthought
that they belong to bodies already
found and brought to this city.
The cause of the loss Of life in the
heavy east-bound train was explain
ed today. 1t seems that the second
coach plowed its way into a bank in
such a manner that the other cars
were jammed into it. and. pushed on by
the weight Of heavy PulImans were
crushed like eggsheIls.
Physicians at the hospital state to-
night that. of the long list of injured
which they have ins9l1eir care, it is
probable that not more than four will

IMPERIALISM OF
PRIME IMPORTANCE

While presented my views at the noti-
fication proceedings concerning this vital
issue the overshadowing Importance of
this question impels me to refer to it
again. The issue is oftentimes referred
to as constitutionalism vs. imperialism
If we would retain our liberties and.
constitutional rights unimpaired, we can
not permit or tolerate, at any time or for
any purpose the arrogation of unconsti-
tutional powers by the executive branch
of our government. We should ever be
mindful of the words of Webster, Liberty
Is only to be preserved by maintaining
constitutional restraints and Just divi-
sions of political powers"
Already the national government has
become centralized beyond any point con-.
templated or imagined by the founders of
the constitution. How tremendously all
this has added to the powers of the presi-
dent 1t has developed from year to year
until it almost equals that of many mon
archs. While the growth of our country.
and the magnitude of interstate interests
may seem to furnish a plausible reason
for this Capitalization of power. yet these
same facts afford the most potent reason

RUSSIA ORDERS OUT
ANOTHER Big ARMY
Gen. Grippenbera WIN Com.
mand the Reinforcements
of the Gar

With the purpose of forcing the war
with japan to speedy termination,
the emperor of Russia has taken steps
to reorganize and reinforce the fight
| ing force in the far East A second
army is to be created, under command
OF Gen. Grippenberg, a veteran of many
wars, and it is expected that within
a comparatively short time there will
be armies aggregating 100000 to 700,-
900 men ready to take the aggressive
against the Japanese.
1t is believed that Grand. Duke Nich-
olas Michaelovitch will ebe made COM
mander-in chief of the Russian armies
In the far East, with soldier of more
varied experience as his chief of staff.
At Mukden it is believed that the
japanese will not make, frontal at
tack upon that city, but will seek to
engage the Russians north or north
east of there, purpose dictated by
strategic reasons as well as by the de-
sire not to offend the Chinese by MAX
ing the sacred tombs of the enperors
the scene OF bloodshed.
Severe fighting at Port Arthur is re-
ported to have taken place Sept. 1921,
and several important strongholds are
said to have been captured by the
Japanese. Heavy firing was heard also
on Sept. "a, but details Of the fighting
at that time are lacking.
100000 More Russians
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 25.-Rus-
sia's recognition of the fact that
the forces now in the far East cannot
successfully prosecute the war against
the men Japan is able to put in the
! field, and the knowledge that the latter
power is now mobolizing 100000 more
| men for the front, and the decision to
reorganize the Russian army upon
gigantic scale in order to be able to
assume the offensive quickly, marks
distinctly new phase of the war.
The physical difficulties to be reck-
| oned with in promptly getting out such
large refnforcements over single line
of railway more than 5000 miles long
are fully realized; but with the Cir
cum -Baikal railway completed, the au-
thorities expect to practically double
the present capacity for the transpor-
tation of men, munition and provisions
and send out two corps instead of one
| monthly. Within three months three
corps are expected to reach Harbin,
swelling the, total number of Russian
soldiers in Manchuria to considerably
over half a million. ~. I.
In the meantime the armies at the
front, continually augmented by fresh
troops, will act as buffer to hold in
check the Japanese until the army
will be able to assume the aggressive
through sheer weight of numbers.
$50 Additional Batteries
In the reorganization special plans
have been made to overcome the de-
ficiency in guns under which the Rus
slams have been laboring. Over 600
additional field and rapid fire guns are
to be sent to the front.
The great struggle for the mastery in
the far East now seems destined to
assume titanic proportions.
The reiteration of the now familiar
official statement that the military sit
uation at the front is unchanged is

There seems to be no doubt, ac-
cording to the law and the opinion of
County Attorney T. R. Kane, that
Henry Gallick, the Republican candi-
date for court commissioner, is dis
qualified from holding the office, and
that if the question is raised he can
be ousted from the position.
. The law on which the county attor-
ney bases his opinion was passed in
1885.
The citations of supreme court deci-
sions shows that it has been held that
the court commissioner has the power
to issue writs of habeas corpus and
otherwise transact legal business re-
quiring not only a knowledge of the
law but at least a fair education. The
law giving the commissioner power to
transact all business taken up ordi-
nariIy by judges at chambers includes
matters of Importance, any of which
it would be impossible for the Repub-
lican candidate for the position to un-
dertake.
1t is well known that Gallick is not
learned in the law. Judge T. J. Egan,
the Democratic candidate for the place,

and for several years was a district
judge.
Gallick has held the position hereto
fore because no one has raised the
question as to his competency, said
County Attorney Kane His inability
to read and write, his ignorance of
law and legal customs, all go to make
him ineligible. OF the meaning of the
law there can be no question. Gallick
has had business with this office, and
has upon each occasion demonstrated
his ignorance, not being able to. tell
why he makes certain charges for a
given kind of work.

The. sermon was preached by DR.. J.
F. Dudley, a Congregationalist minister
from Fargo, who found his text in
Matthew 10, and took for his subject
ssThe Kingdom of God" which he said
is the light of God in man.
The sermon was devoid of political
reference, unless the justification of the
acquisition of the Philippines as means
of establishing the kingdom of God in
those islands may be characterized as
political.
DIR. Dudley said that act had made
missionary society of Uncle Sam and
his people. At Dawson, the great duck
hunting center Of this state, there was
a brief stop to allow Senator Hans
brough and friends to fill the larder OF
the dining car with canvas backs and
teals. At Bismarck an hour was spent
in driving about the city, and in visit
to Fort Lincoln.

Probably the most interesting expert
ence of the twenty four hours was had
at Medora, in the extreme western
portion of the state, which twenty years
ago was for two years the home OF
President Roosevelt. He was engaged
there in the cattle business and left
many friends there who were at the
railroad siding to meet the presidents

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Morning
Post, in strong editorial on the shin-
ping question, says that German energy
is conspicuous, but that there is even
greater need to keep a careful eye on

States.
The paper suggests the withdrawal

vessels of freedom to the British coast

freedom to negotiate for reciprocal con-
cessions, and thinks revival of some
of the old navigation laws would be

TWIN SUBJECTS OF
TARIFF AND TRUSTS

Tariff reform Is one Of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the Democratic faith, and the
necessity for it was never greater than
at the present time. 1t should be under
taken at once in the interest of all our
people.
The Dingley tariff is excessive in many
of its rates, and, as to them at least, un-
justly and oppressively burdens the peo-
pie. 1t secures to domestic manufactur-
ers, singly or in combination, the privi-
lege of exacting excessive prices at home
and prices far above the level of the sales
made regularly by them abroad with
profit. thus giving a bounty to foreigners
at the expense Of our own peo-
pie. It's unjust taxation burdens
the people generally, forcing them
to pay excessive prices for food. fuel,
clothing and other necessaries of life. It
