KANSAS WRECK
KILLS TWO

Reading, kas.. Dec. i9.--One of the
most disastrous wrecks that the Santa
Fe has suffered recently. occurred
early this morning at Badger creek
bridge, about six and a half miles
west of here. resulting in the com
plete derailment of the train and the
death of Engineer Harry Davis, and
Express Messenger r. E. Derrick,
The front trucks of the tender left
the track while the train was making
forty miles an hour. which caused the
baggage and express cars and the first
two coaches of the train to go into
the ditch. The forward one of the
two express cars turned over and
caught fire, burning Messenger Der
rick to a crisp. He died almost inn
mediately. Engineer Davis succumbed
some time after being taken from the
wreck. Several passengers In the
smoker and chair car were badly
hurt.
1t is thought that train wreckers
caused the smashup, and a searching
investigation is in progress. The track
had evidently been tampered with.

In for criticism the government was
criticised for its lack of control in
matters where II has Jurisdiction and
the states were reprimanded for lax

Representative Pearre's resolution
gives this paragraph as reason for
the investigation:
1T appeared to be fairly well ascer-
tanned from the testimony before the

GOVERNMENT FEARS ARMED
UPRISING OF POLES

st. Petersburg. Dec. 19.-Despite
the statement that two army corps are
being sent to the Baltic provinces. it is
learned that no such number of troops
is available. The government has sent
two regiments from st. Petersburg in
reply to frantic appeals for reinforce
ments, but ii is considered too danger
GUS to deplete the garrison of the cap
ital any further during the present
crisis. The government can only
await the arrival of Cossacks aud
other troops which are being hurried
forwarded by General Linevitch from
Manchuria. In the meantime the gov
ernment's fear is that the rebellion,
which is extending southwark to the
Polish frontier, may arouse the Poles
to an armed uprising. Reliable tales
regarding the establishment of the so.
called republic of Kharkoff have at
last arrived. The workmen's socialis
tic organization, joined by three hun
dred troops. took possession of the
city and with the aid of the militia.
established government, or federated
council. as the executive committee
was called. This council issued de-
crees which the authorities were per-
fectly powerless to resist. 1t declared
war on the thieves who prviously ter
rorized the city. When a robber was
caught he was placed under a trip
hammer, with the threat that 1t would
be dropped unless he revealed the
whereabouts of the booty. This was
usually effective and the recovered
plunder was returned to the owners.
Two notorious robbers were hanged in
the public square.
Three Hundred Insurgents Killed.
Mitau, Province Of Courtland, By
Mail to st. Petersburg, Dec. 10
Frightful stories are pouring in from

URGE REVISION OF
 PRESENT TARIFF.
Cotton Seed Brushes State Time
 Has Come for Change
REQUEST ON STATE DEPT.
Want Austro-Hungaran Tariff Stop ped-lt Has Been Raised Re- gently 22Ia Gents a
 Gallon on oil.

New Orleans, May 1S.-Before ,concluds ing it's annual session here today the Interstate Cotton Seed Crusher assoeia- tion. la which 7oo mills. are represented, unanimously passed resolution urging a revision of the present tariff. The reso- lution was presented by the committee on tariff of which J. G. Cash of New York was chairman
 The report urged that a memorial be presented to the State Department, ask ing the exercise of It's influence to stay the prohibitive Austro-Hungarian tariff, which has raised the duty on American cotton seed oil from 7h to 30 cents gallon. and the German tariff which is to go into effect in 1906 making an in- crease of % per cent. Under these duties exports of cotton seed products are ex- pected to be entirely destroyed. Revision of the tariff is considered imperative, therefore, to stop European retaliation.
 The Resolution.
 This was the resolution adopted
 Resolved, That this association does not intend to attack or overthrow the general plan of this governments tariff policy, but it strongly urges that the time has come for revision"
 One of the important results of the con vention was the adoption of the report of E P. McBurney of Atlanta chairman of special committee of five, creating a bureau of publicity It had been strongly advocated by Chairman J. w. Allison os the executive committee who pointed out that the principal market now was in foreign countries and if the lessons taught by Europe in the utilization of cotton seed products were known here the Amer jean field would be sufficient and more profitable. Money will be realized by the seed men to maintain the bureau and will be campaign of advertising.
 Officers Elected.
 Edwin Lehman Johnson of Memphis, made an address to the convention in which he said that sl000O,000 a year was lost by the heating of cotton seed. MT.
