Leads to the Belief Criminal Proceedings
 Will Shortly be Begun
It is Developed That Insurance Company President Left to His Wife Regular Income of Payments on Commissions.

New York, Dec. 7.-Attention was directed to the possibility of criminal action growing out of the investiga- tion of the life insurance methods by a visit paid by District Attorney Jer- ome to the legislative committee, which is holding its hearing in the City Hall today. MT. Jerome said that he wanted to find out when ne could get possession of a copy of the report of the committee. Chairman Arm strong already has said that he hopes to have it ready for the legislature when it meets next January.
 Counsel for Thomas F. Ryan, who bought the James H. Hyde stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society conferred with Chas. E. Hughes, coun- sel for the Investigating committee today, and said afterward that MT Ryan is holding himself in readiness to testify before the committee.
 One of the points brought out by MT. Hughes in today's hearing was the fact that the Mutual Reserve Life m- surance company had paid s134,00 to the widow of Edward B. Harper, for mer president of that company, since , MT. Harper's death in 1895. The

BIG BELEN GUT OFF
 WORK NEARLY DONE
The Saving of Time Has Cost Nearly
 Ten Millions.

Los Angeles, Dec. 1.-Work on the big Belen cutoff on the Santa Fe line in New Mexico is progressing rapidly and it was stated at the Santa Fe headquarters that construction work will be completed about January 1st., 1906. It will be several months later, however, before the limited trains will be operated over the new route through New Mexico.
 Eventually this cutoff will reduce the running time between Los Angeles and Chicago to about fifty-seven hours. It is stated that 2,00O men and half as many teams are at work in Apo Pass, New Mexico, where the work of over coming the engineering problems has been going on for the past two years. It is estimated that the shortening of the Santa Fe line by way of the Belen cutoff when completed, will have cost $10 000, 900.
 The operation of the limited trains over the new line will cut out Albu querque, one of the most important points on the present route. The dis tance will be reduced ninety miles and the highest mountain range on the Santa Fe line will be avoided as well as the stretch of road which has caused the Santa Fe much trouble and delay during the past few years from wash outs.

money derived from commissions. which former President Harper drew on all business written by the compa- ny. His widow, who has since remar- ried, continues to receive the commis- sions.
 Incident to this inquiry, MT. Hughes discovered an instance in which SS.OOe had been paid to President Frederick A. Burnham of the Mutual Reserve in 1896, and concerning which Vice-Pres- ident Geo. D. Eldridge of that com pany testified that he knew nothing. The bookkeeper when he made the payment from a contingent fund said he did not know what IL was paid for
 The affairs of the Security Mutual Life Insurance company. of Bingham ton, N. Y, again were under investi- gation today. One of the interesting facts brought out was the statement of President Cnas. NJ. Turner. of that company, that he had employed a few years ago T. H. Keefer. one of the clerks in the office of the superintend- ent of insurance at Albany, to act as consulting actuary of the Security Mutual company at s1,OOO year. For all MT.

His Resolution of Inquiry Regarding the
 [iberaIiy of National Banks Adopted
Senator Beverdge Introduces in the Senate Replica of Hamlton's House Statehood BIll-The Emergency Canal Relief Measure Passed.

amended in accordance with sugges- tions by MT. Mann, directing the pres ident to require annual reports from canal construction officers covering all details of the work; requiring such employees to give congress any infor- nation it may desire, and restricting all expenditures to money appropriated by congress and to that received by the operation of the property of the Pan anna railroad. Otherwise the bill was not amended, and it contained, beside the appropriation a provision recom- mending a tax disability against the proposed bonds to be issued for the construction of the canal thus placing the bonds on a footing with other gov ernment bonds as available for secur- ity for national bank circulation and to reimburse the treasury for the money appropriated in the bill.
 The bond provision in the bill was a point of attack today. MT Williams offered several unsuccessful amend ments, all seeking to abandon the pol icy of issuing bonds for the canal work, on the ground that there is sufficient available funds in the treas ury to meet all needed demands for the. canal work. MT. OVerStreet did not succeed in amending the bill so that the s1OO0O,OOO already expended, in canal construction might be refund- ed to the treasury from the sale of the canal bonds. The bond policy of the two parties occasioned the feature of the debate and resulted in limited po- litcal discussions.
 Secretary Taft, accompanied by the auditor and purchasing agent of the canal commission, came to the capital and remained available to give any in formation that might be asked from the floor, but they were not called upon. With the bill out of the way and no committees appointed to begin consideration of the several thousand measures that have been introduced since the session began, the house ad- journed until tomorrow.

 There was no intention manifest to delay the work, the only argument for cutting down the original estimate be- ing that a closer scrutiny might be had of the estimate. The bill was

A Collision Followed by a Conflagra- ton Which Incinsrated Half of the Dead.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 7.-Ten persons were killed and nineteen injured, elev- en of them railroad employees and eight passengers by a head-on collision on the Union Pacific between a freight train and overland limited passenger train No. ?, eastbound, five miles west of Rock Springs. Wyo, at o'clock this morning. Five of the bodies of the dead were burned beyond recognition in a fire which destroyed the mail car, combination dynamo baggage car and dining car. Two of these are known to be mail clerks, and the other three were cooks, who were sleeping in the diner.
 The mail and dining cars were the scenes of the greater fatality, three mail clerks and three cooks being killed outright and one other clerk being perhaps fatally injured, his skull be- ing fractured. Electrician Stigers and his assistant, Frank McKenna, were in the baggage car, immediately following the engine and were also killed out right.
 From the Union Pacific headquarters 1t is officially announced that the wreck was caused by the engineer and conductor of the freight confusing their orders. They had received orders to meet four passenger trains, the last of which was the overland limited, at An say, a siding five miles west of Rock Springs. The freight took the siding and when three of the trains, all of which were running close together. had passed Ahsay, the freight started west without waiting for the over land limited. This latter train and the freight came together head-on, one and a half miles west of Ahsay.
 Engineer Brink of the freight, is among the killed, and his fireman, Os- car Peterson, was seriously injured. Conductor Roy Darrel, of the freight, admitted that he had became confused thinking that all the trains which he expected to meet at Ahsay had passed. Fortunately the wreck ocurred with in short distance of the Wyoming state hospital, which is located near Rock Springs. The injured were all removed to that institution. The two | engines, the diner, baggage and mail l cars were completely wrecked and l took fire immediately after the wreck, 1 being completely destroyed. Two mail 1 clerks and the three cooks were pin | toned beneath the cars in which they
 were employed and their bodies. incin-
 erated beyond Identification, were lat | CT removed from the wreck The bod 1 ies of the other employees killed were removed before the fire reached them.
