New York, July 16.-At the suggestion
of William ]. Bryan, says today's Herald,
advantage will be taken of the reception,
which is to be given him on his return
from abroad to give practical illustra-
ton of the feasibility of applying the
publicity principle to the collection of
campaign contributions.
In letter TO William Hoge, president
of the Commercial Travellers Antitrust
league, which was received yesterday, Mr..
Bryan approved the plans for the recep-
tion SO far as they had been laid be-
fore him and cautioned the managers to
avoid all factional disputes, that all fac
tions might have an equal chance and so
that 1t will not be our fault If every
thing is not harmonious
Mr.. Bryan then spoke of the question
of raising money to defray the cost of
reception, and made the suggestion that
a popular subscription involving the prin-
ciple of publicity be employed.

ELkS' TRAIN WRECKED.
Engineer Is Killed, But No Passen-
gers Were Hurt.

Trinidad, Colo, July 16.-Passenger train
No. on the Colorado and Southern Rail-
way. carrying hundreds of Texas Elks
to the convention in Denver was wrecked
three miles north of Forbes Junction
early today. Engineer Martin j. cullom
was killed, and Fireman Charles t. Gar
rel badly hurt.
That the whole train was not carried
into the deep Arroyo rising in serious
loss of life is probably due to the fact
that it was running slowly on account
OF the recent heavy rains.
The train ran into a landslide while
rounding a curve and the engine rolled
over, carrying the two baggage cars
with it. None of the passenger coaches
left the track. Cullen Pique was caught
under the locomotive and his body was
crushed to a pulp. Fireman Garrel
jumped, thus escaping death. Though Sc
verely injured, he walked three miles to
Forbes and notified the officials here.
Two special trains from the south car
rying Elks to the Denver convention are
held here on account of the wreck.

PURE FOOD AND FRESHAIR
TOO MUCH FOR NEGROES

and meals are made attractive at great
expense to the canal commission.
Chief Engineer Stevens of the canal
commission, Governor Magoon and other
men identified with the work on the
| isthmus, have agreed that lack of lung
capacity and insufficient nourishment,
rather than laziness, are responsible for
the inability of the West Indians to per-
form an amount of work equal to that
done by white laborers from Spain. The
negroes are paid only so cents a day.
while the white men from Spain and Cuba
are paid twice that amount, and many
of the bosses on the canal work are of the
opinions that the white men really do
much more than twice as much as the
colored laborers.
The Spaniards have been found to be
thrifty and cleanly in their habits. They
! take their families to the isthmus and
maintain homes in which wholesome con-
dltions prevail and good food is served.
Most of the Spaniards now employed on
the isthmus went there from Cuba. but
they are natives of Spain who had OBJ
tanned employment In Cuba. 1t Is expect
ed that Spain Will grant the commission
permission to take large numbers of Span
ish laborers to the isthmus.
To abandon negro labor, according to
the commission, would be practically I'M
possible. But Chairman Shonts and other
members of the commission agree that
it is unsafe to depend on any one class
of labor, and because of the unsatisfac-
tory results with negro labor are not only
| turning to the Spaniards but will prob
ably try Chinese labor.

Washington, July 16-Perfect sanitation
and cleanliness are proving fatal to the
West Indies negroes employed on the
Panama canal. Although Colonel Gorgas
and his assistants have banished yellow
fever and other tropical features which
made local zone long burying ground
for the French canal builders, they have
found that sanitary precautions taken in
the quarters occupied by workmen make
the Jamaican negroes especially suscepti-
BILE to pneumonia and other lung and

West Indians are not accustomed to an
abundance of fresh air and well venti-
lated. cleanly quarters. Living for genera
tons in small huts, where large families
crowd into rooms tightly closed, against
the night air, the negroes from Jamaica
and other tropical islands have developed
lungs with cramped capacity and es-
pecially susceptible to changes of temper

The officers in charge have found that

duced to eat sufficient wholesome food to
keep them in good health even when sup
plies are furnished to them at cost priceS
