Somebody BIundered.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-The Chicago
Tribune, editorially reviewing the
Kansas train wreck, this morning
says the negligence that caused the
human sacrifice was inexcusable and
that BETTING punishment should be
demanded. The editorial, in part,
states:
Somebody Numbered. Somebody
either disobeyed orders or was negli-
genet in the performance OF his duty,
for there would have been no collis.
ion had not such been the case. There
is no excuse for a head-on collision
in the present era Of railroad opera
ton. Most OF the railroad wrecks
last year were the result of collisions
of this kind, occasioned by gross care
lessness and disregard of the simplest
precautions. 1t is time they should
be stopped. The investigation Of
this latest disaster should be asrigid
and exhaustive as those which are
now being made in the case Of the
Iroqnois theater horror. II men are
clearly to blame, punish the guilty
parties. II the system ia at fault,
change the system. Improved
methods Of railroad operation are
needed.

charging the United States with open

General Reyes wrote to the State de-
partment requesting that the CORES
