When the train was well on the trestle
The engineer noticed the little fellow

He must have known that the jump
into the river meant certain death
When the engine was Nirhir a few feet
OF him his bark changed TO a whine
as he pleaded for his life. The engineer
stopped the train and the dog started
of again.
The train followed slowly. but when
the dog saw that he was being fol-
lowed he again stopped
Every time the engine moved the dog
seemed to consider IL an attempt on his
life. and would stop short and bark and
whine.

morning. There are seventeen bodies

but there were no complete bodies or
even large pieces OF bones among these
fragments.
The track Is now clear and trains are
running on schedule time. Seven bodies
have been Identified. in most instances
the identification being made more by
reason OF location in which the body
was found than by any evidences shown
in the body itself.
Two telegraph operators are held in
the public mind 10 be responsible for
the awful disaster. although no formal
indictment has gone out against them
Both have been ordered discharged
from the service OF the road.
Late this afternoon the head and
shoulders OF a man We're taken from a
pile OF coal alongside the engine of

body had been entirely burned away.

GERMANS FIGHTING
PROHIBITION BILL

Alliance Says Hepburn Measure Is
Abridgement of Liberty of Mem
bers of Organization.

Vigorous opposition has developed
against the Dolliver-Hepburn liquor
transportation bill, designed to give
prohibition States power to control the
sales of liquors which are imported in
10 their territory as subjects of inter
state commerce.
Under the present court decisions,
9iquor shipped into a prohibition State
may be sold within the State, in the
original packages in which it was put
mp at the point from which it was
shipped, and the State law cannot in
terfere. The State cannot touch inter-
state commerce, according 20 the
courts: and so long as the liquor re-
mains in the original package it is in
process Of Interstate commerce.
States Wish Control.
So the prohibition or local option
States have asked Congress to delegate
To them power over liquors in such
cases. that the prohibited beverages
may be subjected to the police power
OF the State as soon as they enter its
boundaries. To this the brewing and
other liquor interests. and now the Ma
'iCAal German-American Alliance have
opposed themselves strongly.
Joseph Keller. of Indianapolis. first
vice president of the National German

as delegate of the State organization

the whole people its own particular STAN
dard of morals
Against Federal Prohibition.
The object of the bill is to aid In the
enforcement of prohibition In States
where 1t prevails, and upon the prin-
ciples stated, we naturally oppose every
measure to sustain or give countenance

We have made this effort simply in

The recent rather acrimonious discus

Of the different railroad systems OF the

and Mr.. MacVeash's influence with

On the other side. a large number of
the minor officers under Cassatt are
vigorously opposed to the rate regulating
legislation. and IL they could have their
way. would be out In the field fighting
IL. Just as the Morgan roads so con-
spicuously are doing. Cassatt has held
his people in check but this conflict of
view has given rise TO claims on both
sides of the real support OF the Penn

in the country.
Some of the railroad men who are out

the Hobbies here and distributing the
literature, ascribe this lukewarm atti-
