TRAIN WRECKED;
SIX PEOPLE KILLED

Casper, Wyo., March 81. Melting
snow and high water caused the worst
wreck in the history of the Wyoming
& Northwestern railway, when work
train returning to Casper from the con-
struction camps west of Wolton, drop
ped into a small stream near Natrona,
20 miles west of here. Six men are
known to have lost their lives. One
of these Charles Noll, was foreman of
the outfit. Twenty were injured,
some fatally.
The wreck happened as the train was
crossing the stream. The engine passed
over safely, but its weight broke down
the piling which had been undermined
by the flood waters and the cars follow
ing dropped into sae ravine. The one
coach was filled with Austrian and
Italian laborers. This coach wass tele-
scoped by heavy water car following
and was crushed like an egg she'll.
The blame for the wreck seems to
rest on no one in particular, as the
train was proceeding slowly and eau
tiously under orders to be on the LOOK
out for bad places in the track.

TAFT WOULD ENLARGE ARMY.
His Plan Is to Concentrate Army at
but a Few Posts.

Secretary Taft recently discussed
with the senate committee ON military
affairs the recommendation of the pres
ident regarding the distribution of
army officers among the army posts.
He critized the present system, saying
that ii is deficient in that it does, not
afford officers an opportunity Tor exer-
cising command over large forces. He
attributed the system to the fact that
in the earlier days many posts were
desirable ON the frontier, and that it is
diffiult to continue system once es-
tablished. Yet, he said there is a ten
dency toward an improvement, as seen
in the establishment of regimental
posts in the Philippines. Fort Riley,
Leavenworth, Russell and Sam Hous-
ton in this country and he said, be east
ly transformed into brigade posts. At
all these posts there are large reserva-
tions, while to establish large posts in
the east would require vast outlays to
secure maneuver grounds. 1t is not the
purpose to do away with the small
posts, said the secretary, nor would il
be necessary to do SO.
