WILL GET FACTS OF ATTEMPT
ED TRAIN WRECK.
NEWSB0YS ARE SUSPECTED
Railroad Company Will Send a De-
tective to Work in Conjunction
With Madison Police-Superin-
tendent Cheney Believes Switch
Was Swung Open by Some One.
Madison. Aug. 11.

Ticket Agent John c. Prien IF the
st. Paul road received a telegram yes
terday from E. w. Morrison, train
dispatcher at Milwaukee, who notified
HIM, at the request of Superintendent
D. G. Cheney, to gather the detailed
data of the attempt to wreck the Wat-
ertown train Wednesday night at
East Madison, and repsent the facts
to the police department. Mr.. Chen
ey is of the opinion that the switch
was swung by some one willie the
train passed over it and he is deter
mined to have the matter investigat-
ed and the culprit brought Before
court Chief of Police Baker said
last night that he had not been mott
fed officially by the railroad author
tiles, but after the accident Detective
Boyd went to the scene to look over
the situation. Mr. Prien is gather
ing data of the occurrence and will
present the facts to the police. 1t
is expected thGt q detective OF the
railroad company will be sent out
from Milwaukee to work in conjunc-
ton with the local authorities. The
company Off ,ials are reticent as to
who the detective will be, but Patrick
Casey will probably be put on the
case. Mr.. Casey has been here be-
fore. He has the reputation of be-
ing shrewd officer.
Newsboys Suspected.
There is suspicion that the work OF
attempting to wreck the train was
that of newsboys. Every night an
army of young fellows gathers at the
depot TO wait for the Milwaukee
evening papers, which are carried by
the train that was derailed. Some
of the boys greatly annoy people who
wait for trains and considerable com
plant has come to TIE ears of railroad
officials. 1t is expected that steps
viii be taken to keep the youngsters
away from the depot hereafter.
Soon after the accident about 25
boys were on the scene. A man said
yesterday that several weeks ago he
saw a lad who carried four switch
keyes in his pockets. He attempted
to take them away from him but
was unsuccessful. 1t is believed by
many that some young miscreants got
III possession of key and just to see
what would happen swung the switch
as the train passed over it.
The tracks were repaired yesterday
morning and the trains left on SEIZED
uled time.

WITNESSES ARE MANY.
Opening Of New York Insurance Inves-
tigation Today.

New York, Sept. 6.-Sixty witnesses
have been called to attend the first ses-
sion Of the legislative insurance inves-
tigation committee, which will be held
today.
Senator Armstrong, chairman Of the
committee, received last night letter
from Henry w. Odlon, asking whether
the investigation was to go deep enough
to expose the alleged graft Of thous-
ands Of policyholders in the form Of
rebates on the premiums Of policies.
Mr.. 0dlon also asked if it was to ex-
tend far enough to disclose the fault Of
omission on the part Of Superintendent
of Insurance Hendricks through failure
to enforce the law against rebating.
Alexander & Green, counsel for the
Equitable, fed yesterday demurrer in
the suit brought by ]. Wilcox Brown
Of Baltimore, who, as a policyholder,
asks for a receiver for the society. The
demurrer gives III reasons why the So
Getty should not be compelled to answer
the bill Of complaint.

The Quicker the Higher.

DIR. Nv. w. Keen, the noted surgeon
of Philadelphia, was praising speed in
surgical operations. The best surgeons,
he declared, were always the swiftest.
Speed was one OF the great essentials
of fine operations, since the briefer
the periods passed by the patient under
the knife, the greater the chance for
his complete recovery.
ION this head" DR.. Keen continued,
smiling, there is a story of a distin-
guished French surgeon.
He performed successfully difficult
and delicate operation on a millionaire
bankers wife, and, naturally, the bill
that he rendered for this operation was
a large one. 1t was not exorbitant, but
it was enough--a reasonable and just
bill.
The banker, though, thought other
wise. With an impreeation, lie declared
the bill to be an outrage.
Why he cried, .the operation only
took you ten minutes
THE surgeon laughed.

SHOT TWO MEN.
Italian Enraged Because Girls wouldn't
Dance With Him.

New York, Sept. 6.Two men were
shot by an unknown Italian in the Peer
less dancing pavilion, at the south end
OF South Beach, L. L, early yesterday
morning, and one of them is thought to
be MORALLY wounded. The man who did
the shooting escaped, and search is be-
ing made for him.
The victims are Edward Carson, 23
years old, of New York avenue, New
Brighton, and Frank Smith, % years
old, Of Carey avenue, West New Brigh-
ton. Carson was shot in the forehead and
the doctorsat st. Vincent's hospital, West
New Brighton, to which both Of the
wounded men were taken, say he has
little chance Of recovery. Smith was
shot in the thigh and his wound is not
dangerous.
1t is said that the italian became en-
ragged because he could not induce any
Of the women present to dance with him,
as they preferred the company Of the
soldiers.
That more persons We're not hit was
considered almost miraculous, as the
floor was filed at the time. The Italian,
when he saw the two men fall, darted
from the pavilion and made his es-
cape.

National League Standing.
JEFFRIEs IS OUT OF IT.
Won't Get $4,000 to Referee the Britt
Nelson Fight.

san Francisco, CAL, Sept. 6-Aianager
Coifroth has received word from Jeffries
that he would referee the Britt Nelson
fight for $1,000. Nolan, the manager
Of Nelson, thereupon announced that
the price fixed by Jeffries was exorbi-
tant, and that therefore the champion
was ont of the question as referee for
the fight next Saturday.
Nolan further said that Jeffries was
Britt's choice, and inasmuch as Jeffries
has put himself out Of the field, the
referee would naturally fall to the
choice made by Nelson, namely, George
Siler of Chicago. The Britt faction is
strongly opposed to Siler.
Britt tips the scales at 1856 pounds,
but he says that he viii have no diff
Guilty in losing the necessary three
pounds. Nelson weighs in at 1891
pounds and says that he is steadily los
ing flesh.
Nelson has taken on better appear
ance at bis new training ground neal
Colma. His face has filed out and bis
color has improved.
The betting is 10 to z, with Britt
at the long end. Manager Nolan is con
siderably exercised over the fact that
his protege has been forced to be al
the short end Of the betting, and de.
claTes that it should be even at the
present time, owing to the showing that
his man made with Britt on their for
mer engagement.
