capped from their coaches and swan to the

Bridge Out of Line.
The accident was due to the defective
condition of the bridge, which was
swerved out of line by the pressure of
driftwood carried down by the swollen
stream. The train was an hour late and
was running at high speed to make up
time. The engine driver did not see the
condition of the bridge until he was within
few yards, when it was too late to stop.
He shouted TO his fireman. threw on air
brakes and jumped. He landed on the
very verge of the river bank and es-
capped unhurt. The fireman was less for

Charms Are Peddled.

Still another device by which money was

the unsophisticated genuine charms

ton. falsehood and knavery perpetrated

Bridge Out of Line.
Appalling Scene Ensued.

The scene was one of indescribable con-
fusion. The shrieks Of those imprisoned
in the partially submerged coaches were
added to the shouts of those on the bank.
The current whirled the day coach down
stream and lodged it against a sandbank
The occupants were helped out through
the doors and windows The smoking car
floated down stream, submerged all but
the very top. 1t stuck on a sandbar in
the midst of the river and four men were
seen to Chamber through the windows and
pull themselves on top of the car They
called loudly for help, but those on shore
were unable to reach them on account of
the high waters. While they were beg
gIng for assistance a large mass of drift
wood swept down and carried them from
their fragile footing. Three other men
jumped through the rear door of the
smoker before it sank and struck out for
the shore. They were carried down the
current for perhaps a quarter of a mile
when they were pulled out They were
almost exhausted from stranguatlon and
exposure.

Many Are Missing.

The most authentic accounts place the
number of passengers in the smoker at
between twenty-five and thirty. With but
few exceptions these have not been ac-
counted for. The only hopeful news IS
contained in messages received from rural
districts. Men on bits of driftwood have
been seen going down stream at various
points but attempts at rescue have in
NEST instances proved futile.
One man. whose name is not known
was fiShed out of the Cimarron at Cash
iOr, twenty miles from the scene of the
disaster. He was almost dead. Others
have been reported floating down the
river
Those who were injured and taken from
the river at the bridge were hurried to
Kingfisher. Six physicians left that place
Immediately after the first news of the
wreck was received. They have been
working without cessation since early
morning.
Aid for the Injured.
The people of Kingfisher have thrown
their homes open for the succor of the in
jured. Enough clothes and supplies have
been donated to provide an army
1t will be impossible to ascertain the
exact number of dead for several davs
Many of those reported missing may show
up safe at some point down the Cimarron
Tonight the derailed cars are lying near
the bank of the river. A party of search
ers is working with torches and lanterns
to lend aid TO any who may be within the
coaches or recover the bodies. II is the
opinion of people who are at the scene
OF the wreck that a few bodies will he
found inside the smoker.

An idea prevails in some quarters that the candid
acy for the constitutional convention is not of much
importance; that the creation of fundamental law is
matter of routine and that the whole constitution can
be easily copied from other states and passed upon with

CORlELYOU TO TREASURY
Continued from page 1.)

geo" " i now secretary Of
the navy, will succeed Moody, as at
re Il tdln viii
be succeeded by Metcalf, secretary
of commerce and labor, the latter's s
place being filled by Strauss. Cortel-
you, now postmaster general, will
take Shaw'S place on March 4, at
which time Meyer is to become post
master general.
The announcement of the prospec-
tive changes in the cabinet was made
late IN the afternoon, following a pro-
lracJcd cabinet meeting earlier in the
day at which 1t is understood the
whole matter was considered fully.
The changes contemplate the intro
ductlon Of two new men into the cab
met Meyer, who is to be postmaster
general and Strauss, who is to he
secretary Of commerce and labor.
Tle fo.t that Meyer is to have
place in the cabinet has been known
.ul some time, but the name Of
Strauss has been mentioned only in
cientaIly if at all in connection
with the circle Of the presidents S ad-
yisers The transfers of Corteyou
to ne treasury, Bonaparte to the at
t"rucy gcneraIShip ami Metcalf to
the navy been accepted as among the
probabilities for some time, although
1t has been known that both Bona.
parte and Metcalf were for the time
loathe to leave their present posi-.
tions because they had become so
fully identified with the work of
their respective departments.
Meyer who will become postmaster
general, is ambassador to Russia, to
which place he was appointed on
March &, -005, having been promoted
to that Office following his service as
ambassador to Italy from 1900 to
1908. He is native of Massachu-
sets, and has been well known as a
business man. The appointment of
Strauss caused considerable sur
prise, as it will be the first case where
citizen of the Hebrew faith has
been made a member of the prcsi.
dents cabinet. He was born Decem-
ber 3, 1850, and is well known as
merchant, Diplomat and author. He
represented the United States as
minister to Turkey on two different
occasions, and was appointed by
Roosevelt to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of former President
Harrison, as n member of the per.
moncnt cour, of arbitration at The
'lame.
