Mr.. Bryan. l rejoice in his achieve
ments and successes, and / approve of
every honest Endorsement of him.

Sullivan, keeper of dives and brothels

COLLISION ON
RAPID TRANSIT

TOTTENVILLE, June Three
persons were seriously injured, TWEEN
ty cut and bruised and the lives of
four hundred endangered during the
Sunday rush hour yesterday in a
rear-end collision at Stapleton, be-
tween a five-car train and a five
car special on the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railroad. This is the latest
of a long series of mishaps on the
line. Last Saturday and Friday acct
dents occurred.
The five-car train Tottenyille, con-
tanning four hundred pleasure seek
ers, ran into the rear of the special,
which was standing at the station
taking on passengers for South
Beach. The special had five cars, in
charge of Engineer Games Revers
and Conductor James Carney. En-
gineer Androvette, of the big train, is
blamed for the collision. He lives in
Johnson avenue, T~ottenville, and has
been an engineer but a short time.
The road officials say he ignored war
ming signals.
Passengers were crowding onto the
special, when the Tottenville train
whizzed around the slight curve
above the station. The oncoming en-
CINE struck the dead train with
terrific force. Wood was %splintered
and glass shattered. Passengers were
hurled to the floors, and the engine
t~elescoped with the real car OF the
special.
Screams of women mingled with
the hoarse cries Of men. Children
We're trampled upon. Everyone
scrambled for the windows, which
were all broken.
Captain Crowley, of the Stapleton
police, called the reserves. They help
ed the passengers from the cars and
turned the railroad station into a
temporary hospital. A score of PEG"
Die had been injured by flying glass,
and many bruised and battered in the
rush to escape. Ambulances from two
hospitals were summoned, and every
surgeon in the vicinity hurried to the
scene. Four cars of the first tram
were driven aneau several pioeh9 w
the crash.
The more seriously injured are;
Isabella Smatt, No. 81 Washington
street. Manhattan, severe SCALP
wounds, and probable internal injur-
les. d
John Thompson, No. 232 Second
avenue, Manhattan, right arm brok-
en-, and severe Commissions of the face
and body.
Anna Conklin, of DeKalb avenue
Brooklyn, right knee cap broken, and
severe injuries about the back and
head. =

Congressman Make Plea for
Speedy Action -CattlemeTl
Score Meet Packers.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE beef
inspection hearing before the house
committee on agriculture was begun by
listening to Representative Garner
CTeX.), who made Il plea for speedy ac-
ton.
"Since this matter came up" he said,
"the people who have contracted TO
take our Texas steers have become
alarmed and say they don't know
whether or not they are going to take
our cattle, and the result is we are in a
state of uncertainty. | want to suggest
that the committee get through with
the matter as soon as possible. Every
day this thing is continued h stock
man is losing money"
rs not the packer entirely RESPONSE
bic for his condition." asked Repre-
sentative Hagan Qa.), and, continuing.
he said: Il believe he is. Last week in
my office / saw a number of kilograms
from stockyard banks to banks In my
section of the country asking them to
telegraph Immediately all their MEM
bers of congress. l believe they are re-
sponsible for this agitation"
Representative Davis (Minn.) e n a
telegram from the South st. Paul Live
Stock Exchange and live stock board
voicing unalterable opposition to nav
ing expense placed on the packers, be-
cause 1t would inevitably come out of
the stock r~aisers. Mr.. Wilson, repre-
| senting the packers, corroborated this
conclusion.
II. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex, at
torney for the Texas Cattle Raisers'
association, was next heard. He de-
tailed the extent of the Texas cattle
industry. Mr.. Cowan said while the
~raisers had their differences with the
packers and had not got the best of
them yet in this question the interest
Of the raisers and packers was identi-
cal. If there was an additional expense
some one would have to pay for it, and
the man who can name the price of
things he sells can put the additional
expense where he p~leases.
The stockmen believe the packers
could put this expense on the stock
raiser. He read a telegram from John
r. Lyttle. president of the Cattle Rails
ers' association of Texas, which read:
present agitation has seriously de
creased cattle business. Universal Inn
