TRAIN DITCHED
AT KODAK, NEW.
No One Killed, But Several Passen-
gers Badly Bruised.
ENGINE KEPT THE TRACK
WESTBoUND TRAINS WILL NOT
BE DELAYED.

ogden, Jan. 24.-Southern Pacific pas
senger No. l. known as the Overland
limited. which left here at 3:55 .. m,
yesterday, jumped the track at Kodak.
four miles east of Lovelocks, New,
about o'clock this morning and eight
of the ten cars composing the train left
the rails. Reports from the scene of
the wreck state that no one was seri-
ously injured although a number were
bruised badly.
The overland was making good speed
when the accident occurred. The cause
Of the derailment is ascribed to the
springtng Of a switch point, which
caused the cars to climb the rails.
Later information from the scene of
the wreck at Kodak does not materi-
ally change the facts as first sent out.
instead of being in cut as first re-
ported the derailment occurred on a
Cirt embankment. While the passen-
ger cars plowed into the soft earth the
damage to them was slight.
Shortly after the accident wrecking
crews were sent out TO Kodak from
Sparks, west of the wreck and from
Carlin, east. 1t is estimated that it
VIII require about ten hours to clear the
right of way so trains Will be able to
pass WestbOund passenger trains will
rot be delayed by the derailment unless
longer time than ten hours is required
to put the derailed coaches of the linn
tied on the tracks. No. 8, the Allan
tic express from San Francisco, east
bound. is the only train delayed thus
far
What possibly prevented a bad wreck
5 the fact, recently ascertained. that
the engine did not leave the track. The
embankment at Kodak is quite high
and had the train been travelling at
tie rate of speed il usually does at
that place, gone off the track, fatali-
ties undoubtedly would have resulted.

STEPHENS MADE
A DISTINCT. HIT
Frank Testimony Concerning Condi-
tons in Utah.
ONLY ONE MORE WITNESS
SMOOT TRIAL DRAWING TO A
CLOSE.
(speciaI 10 The Hera1d.l

IAIASHINGTON, d. c, Jan. 24.-The
wv Smoot investigation paled into
comparative insignificance- today
beside the Impeachment proceedings
against Judge Swayne. and this not
withstanding the fact that the most di-
rect if not the most interesting witness
yet to appear was under investigation
practically the entire day
Interest viii revive when Senator
elect Sutherland and Governor Thomas
take the stand, though they viii be the
last important witnesses to be heard
Ii was noted that Senator Smoot did not
appear at the investigation TODAY
though he was at the capitol and spent
some time i'm the senate chamber.
From f. b. stephens, d Democrat and
non-Mormon of Salt Lake City, the
committee today learned more about
the actual sentiment which prevails in
Utah than has been drawn from all the
other witnesses who have been on the
stand before him. Stephens was abso-
lutely frank. and his testimony was of
equal value to the defense and the OPP
position. The committee was delighted
with his sincere and direct answers and
took keen delight i'm asking him ques-
tions. Witness Stephens showed a dis
position to regard lightly the claim that
revelations same from the Diety.
Instead. he intimated his view that
people usually decided what they
vanted in way of revelations and that
then the revelation was announced
promptly as having come to the head
OF the church Summarizing this view,
witness declared that usually it was
the idea of ''Vox POpuIi Vox Del" that
the voice of the people is the voice of
God.
Denounced Joseph F.
Witness declared President Joseph
Smith ought to be prosecuted for not
So hot v,Tn - Il
of Utah, in general. and to members Of
the Mormon church in particular.
Smiths case is fragrant one" the
witness agreed, and he could not un-
derstand why the president had not
been prosecuted He roundly con-
demned President Smith for his poIyg-
EmOus acts. and felt il was not a pro-
Ter proceeding on the part of the head
OF the church. President woodruff has
ceased his polygamOus relations when
the manifesto was promulgated and the
people expected as much from his sue
cossors- In this they had been disap-
pointed.
In answer to Senator Foraker's uues-
ton, the witness said: Senator Smoot
stands very high in Utah. His reputa-
ton is of the best. l have heard it
said by persons opposed to an apostle
going to congress that if any apostle
lad to go they would rather have
Smoot than some others"
Senator Oyerman inquired whether
SmOOt was a sufficiently big man to !
have gotten the election if he had not !
been an apostle. The witness said he !
thought the holding of the apostleship
1erated against his chances rather
than helping them. because putting up
a high church official for political hon
OF was like holding out a red flag be-
fore a bull.
The witness said only about % per
cent of the Mormons could be swung
Iiom one political party to another by
church influence.

EVIDENCE IN DETAIL.
Frank 3. Stephens of Salt Lake the
First Witness.


Washington. Jan. 24-Frank B.
Stephens of Salt Lake City was the first
witness today in the Senator Smoot
investigation. He testified to the in
tonsity of feeling between Mormons and
GentiIes and of the ameliOratiOn of that
feeling after the Woodruff manifesto
and of the cooperation of Mormons and
Gentiles in charitable work
Concerning conditions in Utah and
the sentiment in the community in re-
gard to prosecutions for polygamous
coha bitatiOR, Mr., Stephens said the sem
timent was not sufficient to cause pros
ecutions except in some fragrant cases.
Smiths Case fragrant.
Chairman Burrows asked il the case
of President Smith was fragrant one
Mr.. stephens said he thought Smith
ought to be prosecuted because of the
example he had set.
Senator Foraker asked concerning
Senator Shoots reputation.
1T is as good as any mans,' replied
NIr. stephens. eff he had not been an
apostle there would have been less OBJ
lection to him. 1 think his apOstleship
Handicapped him. know would not
have supported him if L had been of his
party. but 1 would have had no objec-
ton TO him if he had not been an apos-
tie"
why do they disapprove of an apos-
tie serving in the Senator asked Sena-
tor OVerman.
Because it is like holding a red rag
before bull to put an apostle up for
office. The people don't want it,
Why SOP"
They don't want the church in poll
tics. and there is a feeling among many
Gentiles that the election of an apostle
puts the church into politics. 1 don't
think the church sent Senator SmoOt to
the senate. 1 know, however, that it
did not disapprove, but do not know
that it openly approved Personally. I
think Mr. Smoot would have been elect
ed If he had not been an apostle. I
know Senator Smoot very well, and aft
er the election told him he should not
have accepted the senatorship as an
apostle. He told me 10 wait and see If
st made any difference in his acts as a
Senator / told him that was not the
point, but that the people did not want
the church in politics"
Case of Allen.
IN answer to a question by Senator
Depew, Mr.. Stephens gave the case of
Representative Allen, elected to con-
Erese in 1895. as one where an active
arti-polygamist was elected to office
