Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
ol ]. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate in Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors, and unions of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such a reduc-
tion would work against the prosperi-
ty Of the state and lead to reduc-
ton in the number of railroad en1-
ployes as we'll as of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that reduction as proposed
would result in fewer trains and poor
service.

|SIX VICTIMS OF
TRAIN WRECKERS
"A Santa Fe Passenger Train
Wrecked Near Emporia, Kas.
SIX PERSONS WERE INJURED
Train wreckers Removed the
Spikes ana Fish Plates OF Two
Rails-FOurth Attempt in
Four Months.

Emporia, Kas., May 15.-Santa Fe
passenger train No. II was ditched by
train wreckers mile east of town at
$3.50 Sunday morning. Six passen-
gers were injured and two win prob
ably die.
The injured:
James Euger, 79 years old, of the
soldiers home at Leavonworth; fatal
ly injured; right leg fractured in two
places. head and hands cut and back
injured.
]. o. Rice, Santa Fe car repairer,
on way from Topeka hospital to
Shawnee, Okla; badly bruised; left
ear partly torn OF.
Nate Hendricks, Roswell, N. NJ, cat
tleman; back and hips sprained, long
cut across forehead and scalp
wounds; condition serious.
j. L. Copper, Spickards, No..
farmer; hands cut, elbow fractured.
e. A. Taylor, Kansas City, con-
ductor; deep cuts on scalp, four teeth
knocked out, confusion on right leg,
both hands cut.
F. A. Grover, fireman, Topeka;
thrown from cab and back and shoul-
ders injured.
This is the fourth attempt in the
last four months to wreck passenger
trains in the same place. Previous
attempts were made by piling ties on
the track, and without serious re-
suits. This wreck was caused by re-
moving the spikes and fish plates of
| two rails on-the inside of the curve.
The engine on No. IL passed over the
loose rails safely, but the mail car left
the track and was dragged hundred
yards along the embankment before
the train was stopped. The next five
cars, two express and baggage cars,
smoker and two day coaches, went
into the ditch across the right of way
| fence and lodged in .zigzag line,
The end of the baggage car went up
in the air high enough to ground the
telegraph wires. Two Pullman sleep
ers remained on the track. The pas
sengers were asleep when the wreck
occurred and became greatly excited,
but soon formed wrecking crew and
went to the relief of the men in the
overturned baggage car. A window
\ was broken, and of the seven men in
the car six were found injured. The
wounded were carried into nearby
field, where hospital was improvised,
An hour after the wreck a relief train
arrived from Emporia, and the injured
we're taken to Emporia. A hundred
workmen were put to work on the
track.
There is no clew to the wreckers.
Three men were seen Saturday night
near the Howard branch section
house. Sunday morning a track
wrench and clawbar were missing,
and they were found in pool of wa.
| ter near the wreck.

Should Ask Themselves.

What kind Of an expression do you
wear habitually? asks Orison SWEET Mar

morose, repellent? Is it a mean, stingy,
contemptihle, uncharitable, intolerant ex-
preston? 30 you wear the expression
Of bulldog, grasping, greedy, hungry
expression, which indicates an avaricious
nature? Do you go about among EN-
ployes with a thundercloud expression,
with a melancholy, respondent, hopeless
look on your face, or do you wear the
sunshine expression which radiates good
cheer and hope, which indicates feel
ing of good viii and of helpfulness? Do

4 BASELESS RUMOR DENIED

his countrymen were displeased

gates from France and has learned
that the discussion between Secretary
Taft and Stuyyesant Fish, president
of the Illinois Central railroad, evoked
their keen interest. They were im-
pressed particularly by the freedom
with which questions of this charac-
ter are discussed in America. "The
delegates from France were enchant-
ed with the reception received in this
country and with everything Amer
ican," said the ambassador. That
was shown by the banquet given by
the French delegates to their Amer
ican colleagues. At that banquet M.

Of President Loubet, voiced the un-
qualified gratitude Of the delegates
