Ten Cars DeraiIed and Two Train
men Injured as q Result of
q Middle Of Signals
TRAlNMEN JUMP FOR SAFETY
Tower Man at the st. Paul Crossing
Gives Signal and Then Reverses 1t.
All Traffic Tied Up for Many
Hours Students Are Late

AS a result of muddle of signals
two men we're Injured and ten cars
derailed near Balm, a small station on
the Rockford Siyision of the North.
western road two miles west of the
city.
The accident occurred just before
midnight Thursday night, but the
cars were piled in such a mass over
the tracks that il was impossible to
get the lineopen for traffic this morn
ing and trains for Harvard and other
points were being sent round by Chi
cago. The passengers On The milk
train were picked mp BY special
train sent out from Kenosha and they
reached the city just after noon.
The men injured were Fireman H.
II. Quincy and Brakeman a. Van
Lanen, both of Milwaukee. The men
we're both injured BY Jumping from
the train at the time ii left the track.
Conductor Thomas O'Malley and En-
gineer George ReinIard both jumped
from the train but they were not in
lufed
The sceHe at the wreck at noon to-
day was one of desoiation. The big
wreckers had started work early this
morning and FIVE of the derailed cars
had been picked mp and placed on the
track, but the other five cars, which
were heavily laden with merchandise,
were piled high over the tracks and
several hours will be required to re-
move them. Tie engine, freed from
restraint, ploughed into the soft
gravel along the track and the tender
tipped over.
The train, which left Kenosha just
after Il O'Clock, proceeded to Balm
without incident and EngirSer Rein
hard had opened the throttle to get
upsspeed to make the grade just west
of the st. Paul crossing.
The operator in charge of the tower
at the crossing was Lee Rose. a seven
teen-year-old boy. Reinhard claims
that Rose gave him the target and he
started to make the run. When the
engine was few yards from the
scene OF the accident the target was
reversed, and the towerman gave the
eu-coming train the derai1. There
was nothing left for it to do but to GO
into the ditch, and the engineer and
| fireman leaped from the windows OF
the cab. Fireman Quincy was the
first to jump, and Engineer Reinhard
| followed. Brakeman Van Lanen was
in one of the cars at the front of the
train. Fortunately they 1eaped into a
ditch on the side of the tracks, and
the water in the ditch prevented them
from being seriously hurt. The news
of the wreck when brought to Keno
sha caused great excitement, as it
was reported that two of the trainmen
had been killed. The leading officials
Of the road went out TO Ranney this
morning to investigate the wreck.

HITS THE MACHINE
State Civil Service Commission
Says State Employees May
Not Circulate Petitions
HARD PENALTY FOR VIOLATION

A new complication arose in the
politicals fight in Wisconsin Friday
when the State Civil Service Com
mission struck a blow at machine
politics by sending out an official
notice that employees under the state
civil service commission will not be
permitted to take any part in the
coming political campaign.
The commission has announced that
it will be violation of the civil SER
vice law for any state employee hold
ing his office under civil service to
circulate any petition for the nominal
ton of state or county candidate.
The violation of this law will mean
the immediate discharge of the guilty
official.
The action of the commission is a
direct thrust at the political machine
built up by Governor La Toilette
while he was in Office. An army of
game wardens was practically in
charge Of the campaign work Of the
governor senator during his last two
campaigns, but under the new ru1ing
of the commission it will be impossi-
bic for any of these men to take any
part in the coming campaign.
1t is thought that this action will
be decidedly hard on Lenroot's can
didacy as he had inherited the ma
chine built up by La Toilette, and
most Of these appointees of the gov
ernor had been hard at work for him.
This ruling effects all game wardens,
oil inspectors, factory inspectors and
in fact all appointive officials of the
state administration.
This action of the commission was
not unexpected and already an effort
is being made to have the law Great
ing the State Civil Service Commits
sion declared unconstitutional.
This fight on the law is being made
throughthe state banking department,
but It is claimed that other depart
ments are just as active to secure the
inyalidation Of the law.

FOR STATE MEETING
Elaborate Preparations Made for
Entertainment Of Christian
EndeavoFers
OUTING on LAKE uoNoNA

The Christian Endeavorers of Madi-
son are making elaborate prepara-
tons for entertaining the state con.
Ivention of the society, which meets at
the Monona Lake Assembly grounds
June 80 to July 4. A program of rare
excellence will be offered. Among
the speakers already engaged are the
Rev. E, Bourner Allen, of Toledo, O.,
who will represent the United Society
of Christian Endeavor; Miss Eva
Shuntz, and Miss Grace,Curtis Glenn,
the we'll known missionary lecturer.
A comprehensive program is being
arranged by the state board. On the
Fourth of July the services will be of
a patriotic character.
The convention will be opened Sat.
urday, June 80, by President w. O.
Carrier, of Carroll college, the state
president. In the evening there will
be song service on the lake shore
and n.address in the auditorium by
the Rev. E. Bourner Allen. On Sun
day morning the delegates will at
tend church services in the t:tv,
Other meetings include vesper SER
vices, a morning watch, conferences
on G. E. work, Junior rally, talk
on the subject of the endowed Me-
mortal headquarters, a stcandle light''
service, the reports of committees,
the awarding of banners, talk on the
Increase" campaign, and addresses
each day by pastors, 1aymen, promin-
ent Endeavorers, and by men who
have achieved distinction in public
life.
One feature of the convention, as
attractive as it is unusual, will be the
setting aside of two afternoons to be
devoted exclusively to athletic sports,
which will take the form of contests,
games and races.
About a thousand delegates and
visitors from all over Wisconsin are
expected to attend. They will be en-
tertained, not IN the homes of Madi-
son citizens as is the usual custom,
but In tents under the trees on the as
sembly grounds. Among the outing
ASdtulSS USlnS PAduuCu AOl Tue SuCSE-
tainment of the delegates are steam
boat excursions, picnics on the Chau-
tauqua grounds, trips to the univer-
sity, state historical library, state
capital, and the lake shore drives, and
street car rides. The opportunity to
combine sumner outing and great
Christian Endeavor convention is
unique, and it is believed is one that
has never before been offered by any
state union.
