RAILROAD MEN
ON TRIAL FOR
REBAT|NG

Chicago, July John n. Fathorn
and Fred A. Wann, former officials Of
the Chicago and Alton railroad, were
placed on trial today In the United
States district court on charge Of
granting illegal rebates to the
Schwarzschild and Sulzberger Packing
company of this city. A jury was Sc
cured in a short time. and the court
was informed that the counsel In the
case had agreed upon the facts cover
ed in the first eight counts of the In
dictment, and that only small
amount Of evidence will be necessary
under the remaining two counts
The indictments charge the defend
ants with granting a rebate of 81 on
every car Of meat shipped from its
plant in Kansas City. The defendants
claim that the money was paid for an
other purpose. The last two counts of
the indictments charge that the EN-.
ployes of the packing company we're
carried by the railroad free of charge
because after purchasing tickets in the
regular way, they would be given re-
ceipts. aud later the amount would be
returned by the railroad to Schwarzs-
child and Sulzberger, and that this
constituted q rebate.

Of ENORMOUS
APPROPRIATION
Chairman TaWney Issues
Detailed Statement.
GOVERNMENT COSTS LESS
HERE THAN IN EUROPE
Exhaustive Analysis Showing Where
Millions Voted by Congress
Will Be Spent.

Washington, July 2.-Representa-
tive Tawney, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, has pre-
pared u detailed statement concern
ing the appropriations for the fiscal
year beginning July /, 1906, made by
congress during the session just clos
ed, in which he claims that the per
capita cost of government in the Unit
is less than that in any European
country.
Mr.. Tawney enters upon an analy-
sis to show the various channels into
which the total appropriation of
$8SO,1S3,301 will be diverted He be-
gins by deducting the $139, ,456, ,415
provided for the sinking fund for the
Panama canal, etc. showing that the
real appropriation for the conduct of
the government for the fiscal year Is
$740,756,SS6 TO meet this demand
he estimates that the total revenues
(customs, internal revenue and pos
taD will be 1881, ,573,364.
The appropriations as made in the
various supply bills are as follows:
Agriculture, $9,932,940; army $71,-
817, 165; diplomatic and consular, So,

years, $11,573,9S9. Total regular an
nual appropriations, $74O,106,9S1

The aggregate appropriation Is
60,000,000 in excess of that for last
year. OF the various increases, that
of $3,050,250 is made on account OF
meat inspection, $1,420,533 on account

partment of which $3,030,000 was for

tions made about $31,000,000 was

RAILWAY OFFICIALS SEEK IN
VAIN FOR CAUSE OF WRECK

Salisbury, Eng, July 2.-The scene
of the disaster to the American line
special train from Plymouth, having
on board the passengers who were
landed there from the steamer New
York. presents little evidence today
of the havoc wrought by the wreck
of the express train, all the wreckage
having been cleared away. The en-
gineering staff of the railroad COM
pany is seeking an explanation for the
immediate cause of the derailment,
but thus far has been unable to do so,
or is not ready to say to what cause
the catastrophe is attributable. The
list of dead numbers twenty-eight no
further deaths having been recorded
since last night, but Robert S. Critch-
ell, of Chicago; Miss L. S. Griswold,
of Heath. England, and Il. w. Sem
tell of New York, are in critical con-
dition. The bodies of the American
victims are being embalmed for con-
veyanee home. Mr.. Sentell rallied
somewhat as the day advanced and
the chaplain of the infirmary was al
lowed by the doctors to convey to him
the news Of the death of his wife, son
and two daughters in the wreck. A
serious relapse followed the breaking
of the sad news but under restoratives,
the old man rallied. Replying to the
sympathetic condolences of American
Consul Swain, Mr.. Sentell said:
81 will try to show you that l am
a man although / have my seventy

THAW MUST
STAY IN TOMBS
ALL SUMMER
Trial Cannot Take Place
Before October.
DEATH OF VALET BEDFORD
REMOVES IMPORTANT WITNESS
Operation forAppendicitis Proves Fatal
to Man Who Accompanied 1haw
on European Tour

New York, July 2.-That there Is no
prospect of a speedy trial for Harry
Kendall Thaw, was announced today
by District Attorney Jerome, who re-
turned to town for two days to devote
his personal attention to the case, Ow-
ing to the fact that during the sum-
mer there are only two parts of the
court of general sessions in session and
that the trial will possibly last two 0r
three weeks, the district attorney de-
cided not to advance the Thaw case on
the calendar. Thaw will hardly be ar
raigned before October.
The death today of Thaw's valet,
William Bedford, in the Presbyterian
hospital, from complications follow
ing an operation for appendicitis, re-
moved an important witness from the
case.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
today gave out the substance of the
last statement made to him by Bed
ford.
From him Mr., Garvan said he learn
ed that Thaw was not addicted to the
use of any drug. Bedford declared
that he had not acted as "go be-
tween for White to get notes to Mrs
Thaw.
He had seen no notes passed, he al
legged, The Thaws. he said, never
quarreled. As to the revolver, the val
ct supplemented his previous state
ment that Thaw had carried a revol-
yer for three or four months by stat
ing that Thaw had carried a weapon
for about two years. In connection
with the European trip Of Thaw and
Miss Nesbit. he said that he had ac-
companied Thaw, and that Thaw and
Miss Nesbit had occupied adjoining
connecting rooms.
The only marriage he had heard of,
he said, was one that had taken place
at Pittsburg. Mr.. White, he said, had
never called upon Mrs. Thaw to his
knowledge.
Mr. Garvan examined today II. u.
Bergorff, the private detective, who
says that for many months he was en-
ployed with three assistants by M.
White to guard him and to keep
watch on a corps of detectives en-
ployed by Thaw Three detectives
employed by Thaw to watch White for
about six months were also examined.
They were j, w. Rorke, William Nc
Donald and Harry Raleigh. They, ac-
cording to the assistant district attor-
ney, had been instructed by Thaw 10
follow White to a steamship pier and
to engage men to pick quarrels with
him at the pier in order to annoy the
architect.

EARTHQUAKE
IN SOCORRO
COUNTY
POPULATION TERRIFIED
BY SERIES OF SHAKES
Dishes Rattle and Plaster Cracks
But No Serious Damage
Is Done.

Socorro n. NJ, July 2.--What was
probably an immense landslide in the
strata of the Magdalena mountains, set
this part of Socorro county rocking
and swayng this morning in a man.
ner to terrify the entire population In
whose minds memories of the San
Francisco disaster were fresh. As far
as can be ascertained, absolutely no
damage was done by the earthquake
which was similar to those experience
ed in Socorro at various times for
many years There were probably as
many as twenty distinct shocks of
varying intensity extending over per-
iod of twenty-five minutes. Everyone
In town was awakened at 3:15 o'clock,
by a loud rumbling, which was ac-
companied by the swaying of the
houses Dishes and windows ratified,
walls were cracked and plaster fell
from the ceilings of many houses, par
tlcularly in the county jail, where
large patches of plaster fell in every
room. The most violent shock came
at first, and each succeeding one was
less in its intensity. Many people, cs-
pecially the natives, rushed out nf
their houses in terror. More slight
shocks were felt up to eleven O'Clock.
The Quake seems to have been
purely local, as in San Antonio, only
two or three faint tremors were mo-
ticed, and 1t was not severe In Magda-
lena. Those who were awake at the
time say the main shock was preceded
by kind Of premontory culver. one

PL0RABLE ACCIDENT

Woman and Child Meet Death Trying
to Ford Swollen Las
Animas River.
Special to the Morning Journal.

OpcCldl W tlit MOIulHB Jpulhdl'
Pennington, N. NJ, July "A la
mentable tragedy took place at Cedar
Hill this morning when Mrs. Leon
ard Boat and her baby met death by
drowning, while attempting to ford
the swollen Las Anlmas river Mrs.
Boat and five children, who live just
above Aztec, were driving to Duran
go. They were almost across the
ford, when the kingbolt dropped out
of the wagon, the vehicle collapsed
and its occupants were thrown into
the river. They were carried rap-
idly down stream by the strong cur
rent. By heroic efforts the oldest
boy succeeded In rescuing his brother
and two sisters from the swirling wa
ters, but was unable to save his moth
er or the baby. The latter's body was
found half a mile below and that of
Mrs. Boat three miles below Cedar
Hill. The boy had been warned by
his father to cross on the bridge, as
the ford was perilous, but thought to
save time by fording.
