MANY ARE KILLED.
Italians Who Escape Compel Train
Grew to Flee,

Greenburg. Pa, March 1O.-Three
Italians We're killed outright and a
score or more injured, number ia
tally, In a collision on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad near Radebaugh today
between a 'milk train" and a work
train filled with foreigners.
The work train was composed of
flatcars loaded with pipe. About sew
enty-tVe Italians We're aboard. The
train had just pulled onto the main
line from the siding when it met the
milk train in a collision. The trains
came together with terrific force, and
men and iron pipe We're hurled in all
directions.
Immediately after the accident the
crew of the milk train went to the as
sistance of the injured, but were forced
to flee from the Infatuated Italians, who
were crazed at the sight of their dead
and dying countrymen.
The dead and injured We're brought
to this CITY,

RAILROADS WANT
WATER POWER LEFT
Greatest Fear Is That the Rates
Will Not Take Initiation
Into Account.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
These Are Absolutely Guaranteed, but
Not That Watered Stock Shall Be
Permitted to Earn Enormous
Dividends.

Chicago. March 10.-Raymond, tele-
graphing the Chicago Tribune from
Washington, says:
l was told today on excellent au-
thority that the railroads are fighting
now for the protection of their watered
hitting the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to fix rates. provided 1t bases
its action upon capital stock and not
upon the actual cost of transportation.
Everybody has known that the con-
stltution guarantees to the railroads
every possible right to protect them-
selves against any conftscation Of their
property b. the Interstate Commerce
commission or any other body. They
would have the same right to go into
court and protest against the action
of the commission in fixing rate as
they would have to go into court to
protest against the action of the gov
eminent requiring them to get off of
Il military reservation or vacGte a pub
lie road.
Constitutional Rights Intact.
The Dolliver- Hepburn bill does not in
any way, either expressed or implied,
attack the constitutional right of rail-
roads to protect their property against
confiscation. For that reason the peo-
pie who are behind the movement for
rate regulation, including, as am in
formed, President Roosevelt himself.
have been at a loss to understand why
the railroad companies were so insist
nnt in demanding an express provision
for an appeal to the courts against the
action of the commission.
According to present information, the
railroad managers are afraid to depend
upon their constitutional rights They
want something more. They want to
write into the Dolliver bill an express
provision which will give a United
States circuit court right to INQUIRE
into the question. not as to whether
the particular railroad freight rate is
confiscatory Of the actual property of
the road. but to determine whether the
rate fixed by the commission. if put into
effect, will be sufficiently remuneratiye
to do it's share in paying dividends upon
the stock Of that road, no matter how
great it may be and no matter how
much water it may represent.
Would Force Rates Down.
New York, March S.-The develop-
ments of the waterways of this coun-
try as the best means Of regulating
railroad rates was advocated by Con-
gresham Joseph L. Ransdell, of Louis
lana, in an after dinner speech at the
annual banquet Of the north side board
of trade in the Bronx.
Water transportation" said Mr..
Ransdell, "is from three to ten times
AS cheap as rail, and 1t should be de-
veloped to the utmost both as a car
rier Of freights and a regulator of
rates Whenever we have rivers, ca
nails and lakes with good navigation
freghts are cheap and there Is no de-

FORTUNE IS OFFERED
FOR TWO.YEAR.OLD

Not to be outdone by American
horsemen in paying fancy prices for
2-year-olds, England now comes for
ward with the highest-priced young
ster on the turf.
An offer of $92. 900 made by an Aus
tralian sportsman" was refused by
Capt. Greer for his unbeaten colt
Sieve Gallon, a black son of CALM
ule-Reclusion. This puts all previous
offers into the shade. and prices paid
for American colts and fillies such as
DeMund, Horace E.. w. H. Daniel and
others amount to nothing. Sieve Gal
lion is royalty bred, tracing back to
the st. Florian and St. Simon stock
on her dams side, Reclusion being by
St. Florain-Pensecrosa, and st. Flor
ian being son of ST. Simon and Palm
flower. Gallinule is by Isonomy-
Moorhen, and lsonomy is son of
Sterling-Isola Bella, while Moorhen
is a daughter of Hermit and the dam
was a daughter of Skirmisher-Ver-
tumna.
Capt. Greer raised Sieve Gallon
and the colt made his debut at San
