Allan Pollock, it is said, is in favor
OF establishing q S2,000,O 900 hospital
with part Of the fund, while Herbert

Suits Against STANDARD Oil.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Before he
retires from the cabinet, Attorney
General Moody will have instituted
and sent we'll on its way, probably
the most gigantic litig alton that ever
q government was engaged in, and
certainly the most far-reaching series
OF suits ever brought in the courts of
the United States. Such are the suits
against the Standard Oil company
now in progress in various phases in
three different states.
The retirement of the attorney gen.
eral will in no way interfere with the
prosecution Of the cases, which, when
settled in the supreme court of the ma.
tion, will mark new era in the legal
development of the country. Presi.
dent Roosevelt has seen to it that the
attorney generals Office has secured
a staff of the strongest legal talent in
the country, whose sole task it has
been to gather evidence and prepare
the cases against the great trust.

en- early today. Two mail clerks and
three passengers were seriously in
jured, but probably not fatally. The
accident was caused by the spreading
OF the track. The train was going
about 40 miles an hour, and all cars
went of the track. Seventeen persons
were injured altogether, and many
were taken from the windows of the
cars. Sixteen women and as many
children were rescued in this way.
The train was running at a high
rate of speed in an endeavor to make
up time and when the spread every
car left the track. The engine went to
the north side of the track and the
tender to the south. The mail and
baggage cars shot past into a field,
but remained upright. The smoker
was derailed but none OF the passen-
gers in it were injured.
Nearly all the injured were in the
day coaches and tourist cars. The
latter went down q six.foot embank.
ment and turned on its side. The pas.
sengers were taken out through the
windows. Sixteen children and 20
women were removed in this manner
aud as many men.
The employees OF the dining cars
were severely scalded by flying lye.
Engineer Comfort was still sitting in
his seat in the cab when found. The
running board of the engine had sew.
cred his body. He was gazing
straight ahead and apparently had
not moved.

PORTLAND, Nov. PA special to
the Evening Telegram from Hood
River, Ore, says that an attempt was
made Saturday night to blow up a

That the attempt was not successful
was due to the frozen condition of the

the train passed over the dynamite it
was dark and the twenty-five passen.
gers and train crew did not know of
their peril until yesterday when news
