RAILROAD MEN WARNED.
Secretary Taft Tells Them That Rate
Legislation Is Necessary and
Must Come

Washington, May 10.-Secretary Taft
fairly took the breath of the 300 rail-
way men. members of the International
Railway congress, dining Tuesday night
as the guests of the American Railway
association at the New Willard hotel,
when, after being introduced as 1.-The
apostle from the Philippines" he emf
phatically declared that railway rate
legislation must come; that if the rail-
way men of the country were wise they
would aid and not hinder it; that the
sentiment OF the country is such that
failure of proper regulation meant a
campaign on the subject that would do
no good to the railroads. Absolute ST.
lence reigned as Secretary Taft spoke
his mind on the subject of rates. He was
positively against government owner
ship, he said, believing that nothing SO
deleterious could come to the country
as this solution of the question. But. !"
he continued, you cannot run railroads
as you run private business. You must
respond to the public demand. If there
is danger of discrimination, then you
must allow the establishment of some
tribunal that will remedy that discrim-
nation" The secretary saw no reason
why tribunal properly constituted
should not be competent in every sense
of the word to fix maximum rate.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Passenger Train Hits Car Of Dyna-
mite-Explosion occurs-seven-
ty-Five Killed.

Harrisburg, Pa, Many IL, 3 q. NJ
A passenger train of the Pennsylvania
road. consisting of three ordinary cars
and three sleepers, ran into a freight
train at South Harrisburg at ITO this
morning. Two cars of the freight were
loaded with dynamite. Less than ten
seconds after the engine of the passen-
ger had crashed into the caboose of the
freight q terrific explosion occurred.
Seventy-five passengers are dead and
it is thought nearly every one of the 100
others is injured. Many of them are
hurt so badly that recovery is impossi-
BILE.
United States Senator Knox and his
daughter were on the train. He is Sc
riously injured and may die. Miss
Knox is also dangerously hurt.
When the first explosions occurred
the bodies were thrown clear out of
the berths in the sleeping cars, many
landing down the railroad embank-
ment and some even having been
hurled into the Susquehanna river,
which parallels the railroad in that
locality.
Less than 80 seconds after the impact
fire added its terrors to the horror. The
fire box of the shattered engine spit a
torrent of blazing coal on the mass of
matchwood timber Fragments of box
cars ignited by the explosions fell in a
fiery rain upon the mass of wreckage
that held imprisoned over 100 human be-
ings. In minute the wreckage was
burning fiercely.
The terrific explosions attracted a
number of trainmen and citizens to the
scene of the catastrophe. They attacked
the living tomb with axes. railroad iron.
and other tools. born of the emergency.
But before they could make any impress
sion on the heap of debris the flames
drove them back. In less than five min
utes after the collision the heat was so
intense that it was impossible to stand
nearer than 100 feet to the wreck. There
the would-be rescuers were halted. By
the blazing light they could see the grad
ually diminishing struggles of the en-
trapped as the flames crept nearer and
nearer to them.

REsUKEs LEADERS.
Labor Committee Il Told by President
That the Unions Must Obey
the Law.

Chicago. May 1.-THE union must
obey the law just as the corporation
must obey the law-just as every man.
rich or poor, must obey the law" Theo-
dore Roosevelt. president of the United
States. spoke these words to commit
tee representing the striking transfers
of Chicago at the Auditorium hotel
Wednesday afternoon. All the energy
for which the chief executive of the ma
ton is noted forced the utterance home
to his auditors and petitioners. for the
committee had waited upon him to pre-
sent the grievances of the strikers, who,
during five weeks, have commanded the
attention of the public, and to protest
against the use of federal troops to pre-
serve order.
In speaking with powerful emphasis
for law and order President Roosevelt
also rebuked the strike leaders who ap-
peared before him for their sighting
references to the United States army as
set forth in the memorial presented. In
the protest it was stated that the en-
pl0ying interests fatter themselves that
the federal army is their ready tool; and
then, arguing that the power of the army
rests to a great extent upon the power
of the people, the query was put: What
would few soldiers be against ma
tion?"
Il regret that you should have spok-
en- at all of the federal army as You
have" was President Roosevelt's mild

preston of rebuke.
Mr.. Roosevelt. speaking of the strike
situation in general, said he had no
knowledge regarding the questions at
issue, but declared that in upholding
law and order and in suppressing mob
violence in every way the mayor of Chi
cago has the hearty support of the pres
ident of the United States.
Chicago, May ga dozen men were

lowing an early morning battle at Lake

volver encounter that took place on the

may not recover, two of them being al
most cut to pieces.
Chicago, May S.-Mayor Dunno has is
sued a proclamation providing for an
investigation of the charges and coun-
ter charges between merchants and
strikers arising out of the teamsters'
struggle. He also named a commission
of three men, whose duty it shall be to
conduct the inquiry.
Chicago, May 11.-Determination of
the employers to fight the teamsters'
unions to the end, even if it should
cost them the business they have
passed years in building up, was more
definitely learned Wednesday while
hostilities were largely suspended
during the visit of President Roose-
welt. 1t is said that a practical COM
pact has been made by some of the
larger concerns never to yield single
