Eastern Star Special
Crashes Into Train
Of Freight Cars.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THp<cALL.

SAN MATEO, Oct 15.-A speciai
train carrying more than 200 members
of the Eastern Star en- route from Los
Angeles to attend the convention of the
Grand Chapter, to be held in San Fran
cisco, crashed into freight train near
the salt works about half a mile from
San Mateo this morning. That many
of the passengsf& were not killed was
due alone to t1e bravery of the en-
gineer, who stayed at his post through
out.
While none of the party was seri-
ously injured, all were more or less
shaken up and bruised, and two or
three found it necessary to consult a
physician. A. r. Frazier of ocean Park
was thrown into the aisle of car and
received a severe injury to his right
knee and ankle, while Mrs. Will Flem-
ming of Pomona was thrown over the
top of a seat and received a severe in
jury to her elbow. Mrs. J. Percy YER
dan was thrown backward in her seat
and received a badly sprained neck,
which made it necessary for her to be
carried from the car when the passen-
gers were transferred to another train.
Jack Roberts of Los Angeles was
about the only passenger on the train
who saw the freight train on the track,
and in order to escape the shock he
jumped through the car window and
received several large scratches on his
hands and face.
The collision, it is said, was the re-
suit of carelessness on the part of Jack
Stone, fiagman, who allowed the pas
senger train to speed around thickly
wooded curve and crash into an engine
and four box cars which were backing
up to the salt works on the same track.
Three of the box cars were broken into
bits, while the fourth, steel frame
car, was driven through the other cars
and mashed in the front of the freight
engine. The passenger engine was
badly damaged, while the track was
torn up for several hundred feet.
When the crash came many of the
passengers rushed from the cars to the
engine, where they found Engineer l.,
d. Courtemarsh and Fireman c. w.
Tohney still in the ruins of the cab.
Both had stuck faithfully to their posts.
When they were helped to the ground
the engineer staggered to the shade of
tree, where he was heard to remark,
Thank God, saved my passengers"
Then he collapsed.
To all the words of praise from a
grateful lot of passengers the brave
engineer would only remark, Il simply
did what 1 was paid to do"
I'VE We're going at the rate of about
forty miles an hour" he said later.
When l saw the Hagman standing on
the opposite track, apparently unmind-
full of the approach OF our train He
waved no signal. and 1 believed the
track was clear.
''Tohney, my fireman. was impressed
by the peculiar actions of the flagman.
however, and upon his advice l slowed
down to about twenty miles an hour
l had barely shut down my steam when
the freight train, which hard been hid
den by the trees around the curve,
loomed up like mountain only few
yards ahead. 1 applied the emergency
brakes and did all 1 could to prevent
the accident. but we were too close
upon the freight train and the col

DECLARE A GRAIN
TRUST EXISTS.

CHICAGO. Oct I5.-Testimony was
heard today before three members Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
relative 70 the possible existence of q
grain trust.
The first witness was A. T. Aygard Of
Pontiac, III, who told of his struggles
against the Illinois Grain Dealers As
sociatiOn. Aygard broke into tears
while on the stand and II was necessary
TO excuse him from giving further evil
dence He declared as he left the
stand. tears streaming down his face
and his voice broken by his grief that
he had been ruined because he dared to
deal with the farmer and with the
track shOvelers- He declared that the
discrimination against him had been
doubled because the railroads had re-
fused 10 give him cars in which TO
transport his grain.
J. z. Brennan and L. C. Dunn, grain
solicitors for a Chicago house, told of
the struggle between the farmers and
the organized commission men in Illi-
nOis and Iowa Both men declared that
their firms had been blaclllisted and
boycotted because they persisted in
buying grain from farmer elevator
companies and not alone from members
Of the grain associations.
Witness Aygard, when he had re-
covered his composure. resumed the
stand he said That he had $4,000 in
vested in mis- business, but that has dis
appeared and he is many thousands OF
dollars behind
lie has q crippled child and wife to
support, he declared. and all his
troubles followed his attempt to aid a
friend who was a farmer by purchasing
his grain. He said that at one time the
illinois Central Railroad left $500 worth
OF his grain on the tracks for weeks
without moving il, this being, he de-
clared, q part Of the discrimination
against him that brought about his
ruin.
II. II. Carr. an independent dealer in
grain. also claimed that he had been
ruined by the grain combination and
by the discrimination of the railroads.
i want to tell this commission some
thing about the farmers said J. Ros-
enbaum Of the J. r. Rosenbaum Grain
Company OF Chicago. the next witness.
The farmers who are organized refuse
to sell grain to any but their own ele-
Vators- The grain dealers are being
disseminated against by the farmers.
The farmers are closely allied and they
discriminate against others more than
they are Disseminated against"
g. F. Rosenbaum, son OF the man who
had just testified, supplemented his
fathers testimony with more details
and the session was adjourned at that
point
A number of prominent Chicago
Board of Trade members have been

DANCER OF ATTACK
ON TARIFF LAWS.
Gillett Points Out Menace

SPEAKS IN PASADENA
- Nfa-tir1 Madsen.

PASADENA, Oct. l5.-The- menace of
Democracy TO the prosperity of the land
was the burden OF the address of Can
didate Gilkett at the great Republican
rally in tlHs city tonights--He declared
that the Democratic party still nurses
its free trade vagaries and that should
it gain control Of the Government it
would shatter the bulWarks of pro-
lection. However little they may say
Of it, asserted the speaker, the leaders
Of Democracy are as ready for radical
assault on the tariff laws as they were
when with Cleveland they plunged the
country into disaster.
I give you warning of the smolder-
ing fire OF free trade that they threaten
as with" said the speaker. This is
not idle talk, FOR I know what its lead
ers have been doing in Washington.
once the party is successful at the
polls. that smoldering fire viii burst
into fame and free trade will be the
cry. The hallucination has as strong
a grip on the leading lights of the
Democracy as il ever had in Cleve-
lands time, and give them but the op-
portunity and they viii lose no time in
attack on the DingleN law and in turn
lng the wheels Of progress backward.
You do not hear them saying much
about free trade. They DO not dare to
talk Of il in California, but in the two
terms that I have served in Congress
I have come TO know whereof l speak.
Deep down in their hearts the men who
stand al the head OF the party nurse
the great menace 10 our happiness and
prosperity. These dreams of free trade
still possess them. Beware of the
Democrat though he say not q word
against protection Beware of him in
his studied effort to dodge the issue
In his hunt for office. Beware of his
silence in regard to free trade No
state in the Union is more dependent
upon the principles Of protection than
is California Handicapped by its dis
tance from the great markets of the
East. its Industries cannot endure
without the safeguards that the Re
publican party has placed about them. -
Gillett eXhorted his hearers to sup
port the Republican party If they
would have their citrus industry main
tanned on q profitable basis. Demo-
cratic success would mean ruin to
them, he asserted, and any Democratic
victory in the State would be inter
preted accordAlgly in the East in tariff
legislation.
Fully 1000 persons came out to hear
the standard bearer tonight The
~sharpshoOters" kept up a fusiIlade
with shOtguns as they escorted him
through the streets to the tent that
had been erected for the occasion. For
mer Senator Simpson was the chair
man.
Gnlett was warmly applauded when
he closed.
This afternoon Gmlett attended a
rousing meeting Of the veterans at the
Santa Monica home The old soldiers
were unusually demonstrative and
there seems to be room for nothing but
good Republicans in the camp.

BURTON LOSES ON
FINAL APPEAL.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 15.-Senator
Burton today notified his attorneys to
arrange for the beginning of his term
OF Imprisonment as soon as possible.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States de-
MED today the petition of former

sas for a rehearing in the case in

onment and fine under the charge OF

ested while he was serving as Senator.
The effect of the decision will be the
Immediate Imprisonment of Burton un
less his attorneys devise some other
means of postponing the execution of
the sentence. -
There was no formal announcement
of the decision in the Burton case in
open court, the Chief Justice merely
handing a brief memorandum to the
clerk of the court just before conven-
ing.
The case of Burton has been before
the court since 1908, when hAs was in
dicted in St. Louis on the charge of
accepting a fee for representing the
Rialto Grain Company of that city in
an effort to debar it from the use of
the United States mails. He was found
guilty and sentenced to serve six

and second trial was ordered. The
second verdict was identical with the
first, and it was affirmed by the e~sSu-
preme Court. This Affirmation was an
nounced just before the close. of the
rehearing was then filed. It was
claimed in Burton's behalf that the
court had not had the real facts before
it in considering the case.
