TWENTY GONE
Only Three known Dead as
Result Of Recent Rock
Island Wreck

Dover, Okla, Sept. 20.-Twenty
persons who were known to have oc-
cupied the smoker on the northbouni
Rock Island train that went into the
Cimarron river near here Tuesday
morning are unaccounted for. Efforts
are being made to locate the smoker,
which is at a point 10 yards below
the site of the bridge. A strong eddy
is believed to mark the spot where
the smoker sank. The water has
fallen five feet from the high mark,
but neither the engine, baggage car
nor the smoker can be seen. The
known dead number three and two of
the sixteen injured may die.
Searchers with torches worked all
night to rescue any possible victims
that might still be in the submerged
cars and for a distance of twenty
miles down the stream parties were
on the lookout for victims. 1t was
known that several of those who es-
capped from the Wreckage had drifted
down with the swift current, some Of
them having been as far as fifteen
miles distant from Dover. From one
point bodies were reported as floating
by. but this was not verified. During
the night the river fell almost as rap
idly as 1t had risen and the work Of
removing the submerged cars from the
stream has begun, z.'. jsa5 &.

In other classes. has raised the fear
among Chicago dealers that new
trust is forming. This fear is aug
mented by the fact that the notices
abolishing former schedules were
withdrawn by all the mills simultana-
ously and the prices listed thus far
have been identical.
While it is believed new combina-
ton of paper manufacturers has been
or is being formed 1t is not thought ii
will be so complete as that effected
under the General Paper company.
This concern, which was known as the
trust, went out Of business last May
as the result of an Injunction suit
brought at st. Paul by the federal gov
eminent. The company refused 70
show its books and when ordered to
do SO by the court agreed to accept
judgment and so out of business:
The theory OF the Chicago paper
broker is that this error will not be
made: a second time and that no. one
firm will be allowed to handle the out
put of all the mills In the combine. 1t
d lis pointed out that practically the
same result can be obtained by an
association IL the members adhere to
the agreement. II # y 33|:4 4.

ments would be made until the for
malities were over.
Those present at the meeting with
President Palma were Messrs. Taft
and Bacon, Minister Morgan and Cap
tain Frank r. Mccoy, military aide to
President Roosevelt. The exchange of
greetings was very cordial. Formal
ties soon gave place to intimate con-
versation, and the situation was dis
cussed in very general way. Details
were not taken up. President Palma
expressed himself particularly appre-
ciative Of President Roosevelt's atti-
tude; that no policy had been ,formu-
lated with regard to the future and
that President Roosevelt's representa-
tives were approaching their task free
to act wholly in accordance with de-
velopments.
Upon leaving the palace the party
proceeded to the Denver, which lies
moored at the foot Of nearby street.
Upon boarding the. American cruiser
Alfredo zayas and the other members
of the Libsyal committee, who had
been awaiting Messrs. Taft and Ba-
con, presented themselves. A brief
and pleasant conversation ensued, but
there was nothing beyond exchange of
courtesies. Senior Zayas and Secre-
tary Taft suggested each to the other
that they have a quiet talk together
and Senior Zayas offered to see the
secretary at Marianao or anywhere
else. ~ s. sf"-.5

ENJoINED FROM sCALPING.

Decision Affecting Brokers Controlling
Most of the Business.
Chicago, Sept. 20.-Members of four
ticket brokers' associations, control
ling the greater part of that business
throughout the United States, are, by
a decision made by Judge Kohlsaat in
the federal court, perpetually enjoined
from 'sscalping" tickets on the Penn
sylvania system and various other
transportation companies, some Of
which are named in the complaint.
The case originated in st. Louis dur
ing the recent exposition in that city.
The first hearing was before a master
in chancery, who reported in favor of
the railroad. Objections were filed to
the report of the master and these
were overruled by Judge Kohlsaat.

EMPEROR NOT PRESENT,
Absents Himself From Funeral of
General Trepoff.

General Trepoff.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 2O.-General
Dmitri Trepoff, who died last Satur-
day, was buried during the day at Pc
serhof. Contrary to expectations the
emperor was not present at the flu
neral. His majesty is still cruising in
Finnish waters on board the imperial
yacht STANDARD.
The fact that the emperor did not
abandon his pleasure cruise to return
and attend the funeral of a devoted
subject, although his return was
scheduled for Tuesday, has aroused
much unfavorable comment. It is re-
called that his majesty absented him
self from the funeral of General Kon-
dratchenko, who lost his life at Port
Arthur.
A high police officer explained to the
Associated Press that the emperor's
absence was due to Premier Stolypin,
who had been informed that an at
:empt might be made against his
majesty and telegraphed him not to
return.
