DEPOT ROOF COLLAPSES.
Several Killed and Many Injured in Pc.
ouliar Accident In LOndOn-Rail-
road Cars Smashed.

London, Dec. 6.-The South end OF
the immense roof spanning the Char
ing Cross main line station here sud,
denly collapsed Tuesday afternoon and
completely blocked the lines. A num-
Der of workmen and trains were caught
In the wreckage. The great Orders
snapped with tremendous report and
hugh pieces Of the iron roof and tim
beers fell on the trains beneath, carry
ing down with them men, who were
working on the roof. The roof of the
Avenue theater adjoining the station
also collapsed. A large number of in
jured workmen were taken to a neigh
boring hospital but apparently there
were no passengers ca the trains. Some
OF the cars were smashed into kindling
wood
About 80 injured pers Jns have al
ready been taken to the hospital One
Of the men died Immediately and others
are in critical condition. There are a
number Of dead among the ruins.
Some Of the wreckage fell on an adj
Joining cab stand. Several drivers
were injured, two horses were killed
and some cabs were smashed.
The continental express filled with
passengers was standing outside the

CIVIL sERMcs REPORT.
Commission Recommends that = Fee Be
Charged Applicants for Governments
Pasttionz-Statisties-

Washington, Dec. 4.-The twenty
second annual report of the United
States civil service commission. made
public Sunday contains a recOmmen-
dation that congress should authorize
the collection of a fee from applicants
for application for the government
service. Should this authority be given,
the report states that the commission
will issue a manual giving such de-
tailed information regarding the ex-
aminations as will make 1t unnecess-
airy for the more intelligent applicants
to make special preparation for the ex-
animation in some civil service school
or Institution. The amount Of the fee,
IL is suggested. should be small one.
The argument in favor is that 1t would
eliminate from the examination the
large number of persons who take
them out OF curiosity or TO secure
higher rating on the eligible list
through denomination. Ii is stated
that 10000 persons were examined
last year. 10000 Of whom secured po-
sitions. During the year the number
of competitive positions increased
from l54.os3 to l7l.So7.
The order of Postmaster General
Cortelyou providing for the retention
of fourth class postmasters during sat
isfactory service is regarded by the
commission as distinctly the most
important administrative reform eff
fected within the past year. The fourth
class postmasters constitute the larg-
est class of employees selected without
examination of any kind, For many
years these position have been treated
as political spoils and appointments
made to them with slight regard to the
best interests of the Service"

BIG RlHcHnEn IMPLICATED IN FRAUDS
Prominent Cattle Trader at Kansas City
Stock YARDS Said 90 be In Danger of In-
dlctment for Wroagfully Appropriating
Government Land In Western kansas-
Col. Greese's Good Work.

Topeka, Dec. 6.-Whsn the federal
grand jury now in session here has fin
ished Its work investigating land
frauds there will be many surprises
not only In Kansas, but In Kansas City
as well, for II is well understood that
among the indictments to be returned
will be one or more against one of the
most important cattle traders at the
Kansas City stock yards. A man who
has always been forward in the towns
Interests and who has given much Of
his time to public enterprises. There
probably will be here and there a gov
eminent land agent who will seek
some other climate, while there seems
to be no question that several govern
ment land inspectors will be caught in
the grand jury's net and may enjoy a
few hours at the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth.
In other words, some of the gigantic
land companies which have been grow
ing rich by fencing In and appropri-
ating to their own use thousands of
acres Of public land for the first time
In their existence seem to be up
against the real thing" so far as
atoning for their fraudulent deeds are
concerned. For years there has been
all manner Of talk about the greed Of
the large cattle men in fencing in land
of which they have no right, but in
spite Of all the efforts of conscientious
district attorneys, land inspectors and
land agents did not seem to be able to
find testimony to convict. The reason
was that in many instances the land
companies saw to 1t that agents and
inspectors were attended to in a mater
ial way.
j. S. Dean, United States attorney,
saw where the bug under the chip was
and visited Washington to complain of
certain agents. The consequence was
that some were transferred to other
stations, while several suddenly found
themselves without jobs. Col. A. r,
Greene was sent to Kansas and in
month he has succeeded In gathering
more evidence against the land graftcrS
than regular inspectors have brought
to light in years. Greene couldn't be
bought

THE AFRo-AMERlcAN PRESS Asso- CLAYTON MAKES STRONG AD- DRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.

Detroit, August 29.-At a meeting of the National Afro-American Press associa- ton, which held its twenty-ffth annual session here today, a report was adopted presenting an address to the people of the United States. The address Is in part as follows:
 "The National Afro-American Press as- sociation feels that in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American peo- pie, where thoroughly organized move ment is working with malignant energy to destroy utterly the civil and political rights of those for whom we stand as spokesmen, 1t is necessary to re-affirm and emphasize principles fundamental in citizenship and generally championed by all Afro-American newspapers.
 "We resent the reiterated statement that this Is white mans country for the federal constitution specifically places all of It's citizens on an equality before the law.
 We will be satisfied with nothing less than what Is guaranteed by the constitu- ton"
 The address decries mob law; com- mends President Roosevelt and reaffirms an unalterabe determination to contend for just civil and political rights.
 Cyrus Field Adams of Chicago was elected President; Ralph w. Tyler of Co., lumbus, O., secretary; Horace D. Slaugh- ter of Jackson, Miss, treasurer.
