MORTON CLEARED.
President Exonerates Him from Guilt
in Santa Fe Rebate
Case.

Washington, June pa remarkable
letter expressing confidence and esteem
has been written by President Theo-
dore Roosevelt to Paul Morton. who is
about to retire as secretary of the

of admiration and expressions indicat-
ing the presidents steadfast faith in
Mr.. Morton both as a railroad official
and member of the cabinet. MIR. Nor
ton energies from the controversy
growing out of alleged illegal acts on
the part of the Santa Fe railway and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
with President Roosevelts unequivocal
Endorsement of his career both as a
business man and public official.
President Roosevelt, in his letter to
the attorney general, voices cordial APP
prevail OF that officials act in connec-
ton with the attempt to get the federal
government to prosecute the officers
of the Santa Fe Railroad company. of
which Paul Morton was one prior to
his entering the presidents official
family. The president asserts that his
examination of the evidence has DEM
onstrated that neither the interstate
commerce commission nor the special
counsel you have employed have devel-
oped single fact of any kind, beyond
the holding of their Offices, tending I'd
implicate any one of those officers"

His Visit to Massachusetts,
Colleges.

Worcester; Mass, June 22.-Steadily
falling rain drenched the festal drap-
ings of the city and disappointed the
people of Worcester, but detracted

dore Roosevelt Wednesday upon the
occasion of his visit to Clark univer-
sity and Holy Cross college, The presi-
dent responded to the cordially of the
people by riding through the streets of
the city in an open carriage, and much
of the time with head barred. The
president delivered addresses both in
Holy Cross and Clark university, and
the former institution conferred upon
him the honorary degree of LII. D. At
Clark university the president took oc-
casion to pay tribute to Carroll u.

HEAVY FoRoERIEs.
Investigation Fastens Crime on Re-
Gently Deceased Philadel-
phia Financier.

Philadelphia, June 21.-One of the
most sensational cases of forgery that
has ever been brought to light in finan-
cial circles of this city, was dis
closed Tuesday when it was announced
that certificates calling for small
shares of stock had been fraudulently
raised to hundreds of shares, causing
loss to certain banks and trust COM
panies of this city of from $3.50 900 to
$l,O0O,O0O. The forgery involves the
name of Benjamin H. Gaskill, who
went to his grave four weeks ago. Gas

ing and brokerage concern known as
Benjamin H. Gaskill & Co. He had of
fees in the financial district, and his
credit was considered gilt-edged.

SEEK OLD POSITIONS.
Teamsters Tire of Strike, But Employ.
ers Are Not Disposed to Rein
state Former Drivers.

Chicago, June 20.-Scores of strikers
have been applying for their old po-
sittons secretly, 1t developed Monday.
This indication of the disintegration
of the teamsters' contest came from
several directions. Employers made
known the fact that 35 per cent. of
the drivers for the express companies
had asked for their old positions and
failing to get them have been seeking
recommendations to other companies;
that department store drivers have ap-
piled for their former positions, and
that the old employees of the coal COM
panies and other concerns have been
trying to arrange for their reinstate-
ment as soon as the strike shall have
been called off.
Cornelius P. Shea was forced into
the background by the teamsters' joint
council Monday night, and a committee
OF ten men, opposed to the Shea meth
DDS and the strike, was appointed to
act in conjunction with the members
of the national executive board of the
organization with instructions to settle
the strike. The committee was given
full power to act, but the power is re-
ported to have a string to it, and the
joint council will demand considera-
ton of terms before the strike is de-
clared ended.
Names of q score or more of union
labor leaders who received money from
John c. Driscoll for their services in
bringing about the settlement or pre-
vention of strikes were shown to the
grand jury Monday on Cancelled checks
that have been kept since they passed
through the banks. Driscoll, who ap-
peared for the third time before the
investigating body, produced a pile of
cancelled checks and when the payees
and amounts are made kns wn, togeth-
er with the history of each check. a
sensation in trades union circles is pre-
dicted.

The raw material for future Ameri.
can citizenship is pouring in on us at
an astounding rate. Can we convert
1t into the finished product! In the
past nothing has impressed foreigners
more than our marvellous assimilative
power in Transforming immigrants
from Europe into loyal Americans.
But did they come then at the rate Of
10000 week, and were they from
Southern Europe and from lands
where republicanism has never been
tested? It is this change in the type
of immigration that is causing some
alarm.

DISMISSAL FOR BOWEN.
Outcome of Controversy Between
ant Secretary of State LOOMS.

Washington, June 2l.-The dismissal
OF Herbert w. Bowen. for some years
United States minister to Venezuela,
and the exoneration of Assistant Secre-
tary of State Francis B. Loomis, of
the allegations brought against him by
Mr.. Bowen, are the outcome of the
Loomis-Bowen controversy which has
attracted wide attention for many
months past This disposition of the case
is made by President Roosevelt in Il
letter addressed to Secretary Taft. made
public Tuesday night, approving Mr..
Taft's report on his findings and con-
illusions in the case. The president
scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen. de-
claring that his conduct is especially
reprehensible," that Mr.. Bowen asked
one of his witnesses to enter the en-
ploy of a certain company for the pur-
pose lin plain words, of stealing" doc
uments which he hoped might incrim-
mate Mr.. LOOMS. and that Mr.. Bowen
has evidently for many months. in
deed for the last two years. devoted
himself" to hunting up scandal and
6OSSlp uAlll IL UcCdule uuOuOIUdOla
and caused him Ito show complete dis
loyalty" TO the country he repre-
scented.
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen. as during much Of
his service he had done good work, but
that his usefulness in the diplomatic
service is now at an end. The president
adds that he would direct that Mr.. Bow
ems resignation be requested, but for
his statement that he would consider a
resignation an admission of misconduct
and the dismissal is therefore ordered.

LAkeSNoRE FLYER WRECKED
FAST TRAIN STRIKES OPEN
SWITCH AT MENTOR, o.
Disaster Comes While Running at
Rate Of Mile Minute-Eleven
Persons Killed.

Mentor, O.. June 22.-Running at the
rate of SO or 60 miles an hour, the Twen-
tieth Century Limited on the Lake Shore
railroad dashed into an open switch at
the passenger station here shortly be-
fore ten O'Clock Wednesday night.
Eleven persons were killed and II or Is
badly injured. The combination bag
gege and smoking buffet car and the
coach behind it caught fire and were
destroyed. The train was east-bound,
having left Cleveland about nine o'clock
and as it does not stop here it was run
ming at great speed. The engineer did
not notice the open switch until the
train struck it. The engine left the
rails and plowed into the ground, tear
ing up the track for yards. The two
coaches following it damned into it
with great force and we're crushed,
the fire from the engine setting them
ablaze. Fortunately most of the oc-'
cupants of these two coaches were res
cued before the fire reached them. The
Lake Shore officials at once summoned
all the doctors within reach, number
coming from Cleveland. The dead and
injured were taken care of and sent on
a special train to Cleveland, where
they will be placed in hospitals.
The following are the identified dead:
John r. Bennett, patent attorney,
New York city; burned to death.
Thomas r. Morgan, of the Wellman-
Seaver-Morgan company, Cleveland;
burned to death.
Allen Tyler, engineer, Collinwosd.
o.; crushed under engine.
Newt Walter, baggagemaster, Ham
burg, N. Y.
Fireman Graham, Collinwood, o.
w. D. Mickey, identified by Y. M. c. A.
card.
Six bodies, horribly burned, were
taken from the wreck. 1t was impossi-
BILE to identify them at the scene Of the
wreck.
This was the fourth trip of the flyer
on its run from Chicago to New York
on an 18-hour schedule. The train was
the fastest long distance train in the
world. 1t was the pride of the New
York Central system. The train hauled
out of Cleveland five cars, four Pullman
cars behind the buffet car.
Cleveland, o., June 22.-D. c. Moon,
assistant general superintendent of the
Lake Shore road, stated late Wednes-
day night that it looked as though the
Mentor wreck had been caused by ma
licious mischief. He said that a fast
passenger train had passed over the
switch safely three-quarters of an hour
before the Twentieth Century was
wrecked. Immediately after the wreck
occurred it was found that the switch
was locked open, so that no train could
pass it without being thrown from the
track.
