'as result of liver trouble and heart
disease, which had robbed me of sleep

my different doctors and several medi-

SUBWAY TRAIN IN
UNDERGROUND FIRE.
Explosion Far Below Street in
New York Imperils Lives
of Trainmen.
FIREMEN BAFFLED IN
ATTEMPTS AT RESCUE
Dynamite Cartridges Exploded by
the Impact Of a Col
lision.

New York, March 29.-There was a
heavy explosion in the subway tunnel
at One Hundred and Sixty-eighth street
and Broadway today, where the tun-
mel is l20 feet below the surface of the
streets. Fire apparatus and extra po-
lice were summoned.
The explosion took place at a point
beyond that to which the trains are
run at present and near the American
League baseball park.
An uptown subway train, which had
been emptied of passengers at One and
Hundred and Fifty-seventh street, was
run to One Hundred and Sixty eighth
street to be switched across to the
downtown tracks, got beyond the con-
troll o fthe motorman and ran ito pile
of construction material in the One
Hundred and Sixty-eighth street sta
ton. The cars jumped the tracks and
caught fire.
It was reported that some loose pow
der which was to be used in digging
the tunnel was ignited and exploded.
For some time it was not known wheth-
er OF not the train crew had escaped.
An attempt was made to operate an
elevator running thru shaft from the
tunnel to the street, but it could not
be moved. Some Of the employees in
the tunnel ran thru the tube to the
One Hundred and Eighty-frst street
6LaC1On ana reaCueu Inc Surface dt tudC
point.
The fremen passed the hose down
into the tunnel and fought the blaze Of
the burning cars.
1t was reported that the conductor
and guards of the train, and twenty-five
laborers employed in the tunnel, had
escaped by the shaft at One Hundred
and Eighty-First street station.
The fremen made desperate efforts
to get out the burning cars, but failed,
as the tunnel was filled with smoke and
the fremen were driven back each time
they essayed to reach the scene.
The only way they had to reach the
fire was to lower hose thru the shaft
and pour water indiscriminately into
the tunnel below in the hope of flooding
the fire.
1t was ascertained that the train had
run against a heavy bulkhead of pins
which had been built across the tunnel
and that the wood was set on fire after
the collision. There were two explo-
sions and both were later said to have
been of dynamite cartridges used in
blasting. One occurred soon after the
collision. the other much later.

the bill over the veto of Governor

Senator johnson of st. Peter asked to
be excused from voting and Senator
Naeseth did not vote. The rest
agreed to the proposition; but not un-
til after some plain talk. Senator
Jepson said he considered the ques-

he disapproved Of the way the bill was
put thru the senate in the first place.
- The caucus call was signed by one
senator from each congressional dis
