HIDDEN DYNAMITE
TAKES "a LIVES.
Careless Shipping Said to Be Shown in
Investigation of Disaster at
Sanford

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 21.-,,
Evidences that gross criminal negh-
gence in the shipping of explosives which
is responsible for the death of probably
twenty-four passengers on a Big Four
accommodation train early yesterday
morning at Sanford is being found,
it is said. in the investigation of this
disaster. which followed SO closely upon
the Saturday wreck on the Big -Four,
which caused twenty-four deaths.
About twenty-eight bodies have been
found, and only eighteen identified, so
badly are the remains mangled. In ad-
dition to these have been picked up
scores of broken fragments of anatomy,
ranging from the single hand of child
to the crushed and severed head of a
man, enou, h to indicate at least twelve
more dead.
The full cost of the explosion will not
fall short of forty lives.
Dangerous Shipping Practice.
Of those who escaped with lives none
escaped injury. In the case of several
of these death is regarded as inevitable.
In explanation of this the most hor
rible of all railroad wrecks several
causes have been advanced. The one
which officials of the Big -Four advance
is that of criminal negligence or fraud
in packing the car Of powder responsible
The railroad officials are almost con-
vinced there was dynamite mixed with
the powder in the car that exploded. A
former employe of the Fontanet powder
mills near here says it is a common
practice to ship dynamite at powder
freight rates. which is five times as
cheap as dynamite rates. The railroad
commission of Indiana is making an in
vestigation.
Conclusion Caused Explosion.
The carload of powder was billed from
Concord Crossing, Mass, to East Alton.
The Big -Four road received it from the
Grand Trunk railroad. The freight train
hauling the powder took a switch at
Sanford to allow the Big Four local
train running from Indianapolis to Mat
toon, ILL.,, consisting of the engine, COM
bination mail and baggage car, smoking
car, and one coach, to pass.
AS the local was running past the
freight and almost at the instant when
the crowded passenger car was abreast
of the powder car the powder exploded.
The first theory advanced was that
sparks from the passenger engine ignited
the powder. This, it is declared, would
have been impossible.
The theory which the county author
tiles hold is that the car was laden with
dynamite or nitroglycerin, packed with
criminal carelessness, and that it was
exploded by conclusion.

Legislature does not reduce the levy
as valuations increase.
With $25O,00O,OO0 Of taxable prop
erty the levy is as high as it was when
there WAS only $l75,00O,OOO. The
people will argue that it is impossible
to trust the legislature, that the more
property we have to tax, the more ex-
travagant will be the appropriations.
If we could only get to the point
where the levy would be reduced and
the appropriations made to come
within the levy as assessments in
crease, the people would be more III
clined to assess their property at it's
actual value, and instead Of the $780,
100000 Of property, we might have
$500 100000 Oh the tax books.

1T seems to me that there are some
places where increases might have
been made properly; for instance, the

but justice to increase the salaries Of

Mr.. Hoyl was the second son of the

the printers trade in his youth and

per business. for the last several

STATE FINANCES ..
NOT ON VELVET
COMPTROLLER GENERAL JONES
MAKES CALCULATIONS.
Appropriations Too Large-rhe In
come Is Exceeded by Probable
Expenses by Over Two Hun
dred Thousand.
The State.

The State.
Comptroller General Jones declared
yesterday that as. near as he can fig
ure it the appropriations this year
will exceed the income $3.50, ,444! Had
the levy been fixed at mills the ap-
preparations would have been $4,000
in excess of income, and levy Of
5 Ia mills would have left the state
but $7,046 over all expenses.
Mr.. Jones fixures that the appro-
priations aggregate 81 ,454 4,229.79 and
his figures are verified by calculations
made in the state treasurer's office.
lin eight years the appropriations
{have increased half million dollars
I'm round numbers. The income has
Increased but not so largely.
The taxable property of the state
}is $249 100000, which at 4 1-2 mills
will produce a revenue Of 81, ,122, $50;
at mills it would have been 81 ,247,-
600; at IA mills it would have been
$l,309,875. This is the ad valorem
tax. The indirect taxes amount to
$l51 400, estimated. The total in
come this year is $1,274,15O at q 1-2
mill levy, while the expenses last
year were $4,000 in excess of that
amount and to last years expenses
have been added $4,000.
Last year the Hampton monument
was paid for, the jamestown exposi-
ton appropriation was made and the
general election expenses were met.
None Of these things are provided for
in the appropriation act this year.
The increase has been general, all
along the line Mr.. jones' only fear
is that he may be held responsible
because he did not give sufficient sug-
gestion and advice to the general as
sembly. This he endeavored to do.
