DOZEN DIE; DOZEN HURT
Fast Express Train on Rock Island
Leaves Track and Crashes Into
Freight on Siding.

Twelve persons were killed and
twelve injured in the wreck of an ex.
press train on the Rock Island rail-
road at Norris, Iowa, Friday. The
train, which was northbound, jumped
the track while going at full speed
and collided with a freight train
standing on a siding.
The northbound express was ten
minutes late at Norris Siding, a
small station three miles north OF
Cedar Falls, and there the freight was
awaiting the express, which came
along at a terrific speed. Just as the
engine of the passenger was about
to pass the freight engine the trucks
of the train jumped the track and the
engine crashed into the engine OF the
freight, wrecking both engines and tel
escoping the baggage and mail cars
and demolishing the smoking car.

To Emigration of Her People
to the United States.
NEEDS THEM AT HOME
Such Was Finding of Members Of
American immigration Commits
:. sion Who Have Just Returned
From Tour Of Old World.

After several months tour OF inqui-
sy into the immigration situation
abroad, which carried them through
England and continental Europe, most
OF the members of the subcommittee
of the United States immigration com.
mission, with Senator William P. Dill
bingham of Vermont as chairman, ar,
rived at New York Friday on board
the steamship Cedric.
The members of the commission re-
turning were Senator Dillingham; Of
Vermont, Senator Latimer of South
Carolina, Congressman Howell of New
Jecsey, Burnette Of Alabama and Sec
retary Moore Morton.
The members obtained data which
they believe will aid in solving many
OF the immigration problems now con-
Sronting the United States. The whole
committee will meet later and pre-
pare report, which will be submitted
to congress.
5 Senator Dillingham; made the fol-
lowing statement:
''The subcommittee has visited ev-
cry European country from which we
receive any considerable number of
immigrants, and has studied the more
Important phases of the question in
each.
sThe question Of preventing the
coming of criminals into the United
States has ,been a chief subject of in
vestigation by the subcommittee, and
{ 1t is probable that important rec
Concentrations on this matter will be
! made to congress.
''The subject of emigration is a
paramount one in most Of the coun-
tries we have visited, and in most OF
them the attitude toward emigration
is not favorable. The constant and
long-continued drain upon the rural
population, from which class the great
1 majority of emigrants come, and the
5 general prosperity which now prevails
has produced scarcity of farm Ia
bor,. and it is claimed the agricultural
industry is suffering in consequence.
Because of this scarcity Of labor,
the condition of those remaining at
home has, to a degree, been improved,
but the general condition is causing
much alarm among land owners, and
a strong sentiment against emigra-
tion has developed.
"a very large proportion of male
! emigrants leave their native country
at time when they are liable to mil.
itary service there, and this consti-
tutes a strong objection to some emf
grants.
During the tour Of inquiry and in
yestigation the commissioners hava
secured important information, and
Laye made arrangements to secure
more, and feel confident that before
their work is completed recommends
tions can be made congress which can
Z be enacted into laws which will be of
value and Importance"
