PUBLIC OPINION A
POWERFUL FORCE
Attorney for Panhandle Tells
Legislators They Will Yield
To 1t.
READY FOR 2-CENT FARE
THINKS SMALL ROADS, WHOSE
EARNING CAPACITY is NOT
GREAT SHOULD BE TREATED
LENIENTLY.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Is. (Spl)-
ana do not intend 20 offer opposition
to the proposed enactment of a 2-cent
passenger rate law, was made clear
today at meeting of the senate rail-
road committee.
Samuel o. Pickens, attorney for the
Pennsylvania lines, in addressing the
rommittee, indicated that the only sug-
gestion from the railroads is that
there shall be a provision embodied
than that charged if tickets are
bought
The railroad attorney also said that
though the PENNSYLVANIA would not be
affected by such provision, he be-
lieved that smaller roads whose gross
earnings from passenger service did
not equal the expenses of such serv-
ice even at the present rate of fare,
should be exempt, or the Indiana rail
road commission should be vested
with the power to exempt such roads
If on investigation 1t was found that
they were unable to maintain their
passenger service at the proposed
2-cent rate.
Nine Two-Cent Fare Bills.
There were nine two-cent fare bills
in the hands of the committee today
All are senate bills and their authors
are Senators Stephenson. Bland, King,
Springer. Mattingly, Kirkman, Crum
packer, Parks. and Kistler. Most of
the mare modelled after the Ohio .
cent law, others contain the simple
provisions of that statute with addi-
tional features in the way of addition
RI cash fare on trains, the penalty. as
1t is termed by some, being an addi-
ton OF one-half cent or 1 cent. thus
making the total cash fare if paid on
trains, 21a or 8 cents.
Provisions requiring the roads to
carry $50 pounds of baggage without
excess charges also are embodied in
some of the bills.
Senator Crumpacker, chairman of
the committee. announced that the
meeting had been called especially to
permit the committee members to lis
ten TO the opinion of railroad repre-
sentatives. Attorney Pickens was in
vited to address the committee.
we recognize that public senti-
ment favors reduction in passenger
fares" said Mr.. Pickens. in the course
OF his remarks. 1--WE think it is not
time for such reduction. but as I have
just said. recognize that the sentiment
exists, that will bring about such
law"
The senate railroad committee will
not report on any of the bills it is
considering for some days. Possibly
snother week may elapse before a de-
Ion is reached as to what the meas
- recommended to the senate for

could understand what caused tbs
leaders cry OF warning there was a
binding flash as the burning powder
exploded. Flames, smoke and nause-
Gus gases filed the little superstruc-
ture, In which more than a score of
men was confined. As the powder was
not confined there was no report. nor
did the vessel suffer any injury, tut
every nook and Granny Of the turret
was filed with flame.
The loader, who was. Of course.
nearest the powder, was terribly
burned. as was every other man in the
turret. with the exception Of Eich and
Hansell. who. although scorched, es-
capped with injuries much less severe
than the other.
Two theories are entertained. One
belief is the a spark from the dis
charge Of Il 4 guns floated back into
the turret through a gun port and
settled onto the powder cases. An
other theory is that the spark that
caused the trouble came from the fun
nels OF the ship and f1oated through
the gun ports.

Blast of Death in the Hands OF tEx
Man Loading.

The men, under command of Lieu
tenant Casper Goodrich son Of Rear
Admiral Goodrich, commandant Of
the New York navy yard, and Mid
shipmen Faulkner Goldthwaite and
John T. Cruise, were operating the
eight-inch guns. Two cases, as the big
100-pound bags of powder are called
had just been sent up through the
ammunition hoist and were in the arms
of the loader, whose name was withheld
by the ships officers. The loader stood
at the breech of the eight-inch guns,
all ready to insert the charge
At this instant the turret was seen
to be smoky. and two men who stood
near the loader saw black spot on
the bag, indicating that the charge
had ignited and was SmOldering. The
loader discovered the spot at the same
instant and threw himself forward on
his face, at the same time shouting Il
warning to his turTer mates. The
other men who had seen the spot were
Eich and Hansell, and they also threw
themselves on the floor of the turret.

HURRIED TO SEE HIM DIE
That Was the Sole Consolation of
Goodrich's Father and Mother.

Boston, July Is. - Rear Admiral
Goodrich, accompanied by Mrs. Good
rich and their two daughters, Nrived
here late at night and went at once
to the bedside of Lieutenant Goodrich
at the naval hospital They found the
injured man unconscious and the ply
sicians extended no hope of his recov-
cry, and he died half an hour after
his family had arrived. Just before
he died the lieutenant seemed to grow
conscious and his father and mother
treasure the hope that he recognized
them.
Admiral Goodrich had only just re-
turned to the navy yard at New York
from vacation spent in Maine, and
was still receiving the greetings of
his fellow Officers when the sad It'd
1ngs Of the deplorable occurrence on
board the Georgia was broken to him.
Lieutenant Goodrich was the only one
Of his sons in the navy, and the ad-
miral had long cherished bright hopes
Of a career for him in this branch of
the service.
A message from Rear Admiral Good
rich in the afternoon requested hour
ly bulletins on the condition of his
son, and they were sent to various
points along the railroad line to be de-
livered to him on the train as he hur-
ried toward Boston. A message also
came from Midshipman GoIdthwaite's
parents In Kentucky asking if their
son would live until they could reach
him. The return message conveyed
the information that he was dead.
