WRECK
DENVER & RIO GRANDE
PASSENGER TRAIN.
PERSONS SUFFERED IN.
JURIES AND MANY BRUISED
AND SHOCKED.

Pueblo, Col, Aug. 26.-Twenty per,
sons suffered injuries and a number of
others were shocked and bruised when
Denver & Rio Grande passenger
train No. 5, westbound, was wrecked
a mile east of Fernleaf, small station
about three miles west of Pueblo Sun
day afternoon. The wreck was caused
by the second engine of the train
throwing switch, derailing and throw
ing it against the embankment The
engine carried the baggage, express
and mail cars, day coach and five
Pullmans from the rails.
The second section of No. 5, which
followed close behind, and eastbound
No. 4, were stopped a short distance
from the scene of the wreck and pas
sengers transferred each way, and
those who were able continued on
their journey. The injured were TAX
en- to ST. Leda. A temporary track will
be built around the wreck and traffic
continued in this way until the track
is repaired and conditions become nor
NAL
Following is the list of more seri-
ously injured, none of whom it is
thought is fatally hurt:
Mrs. William Kelley, Colorado
Springs, hip bruised.
Alice S. Coleman, Ann Arbor, Mich,
sprained back.

fractured.
D. D. Sturgis, Chicago, arm and knee

the conditions which promoted the
luxuriance of the forage crops.
1T now appears that the total yield
OF wheat in the United States will ap-
Proximate 640,000,000 bushels.
The unmistakable conclusion to be
gathered from our replies on sched-
ules touching the crop financing OPP
erations of the banks, is that though
yields may be deficient in quantity
and in quality, these defects, in con
junction with an unabating consump-
ton, will require practically as large
volume of funds as last year.
After the exhaustive and protract-
ed discussion of the two plans of cur
rency reform now before the public
it is rather surprising that the returns
indicate almost absolute neutrality
of opinion as to credit currency, &C
cording to the plan of the American
Bankers association. We gather that
the positive opinion in favor of a
properly regulated credit currency is
only 2 per cent in excess Of the mega
tive and Indifferent opinion"

FOR THE DEFENSE OF PETTIRoNE
Richardson and barrow Expected to
Appear

Denver, Col, Aug. 28.-The West
ern Federation of Miners will be ready
to proceed with the trial of George A
Pettibone at Boise on October / the
date set for the arraignment of the
Western Federation of Miners men,
Der accused of completely in the muir
der of former Governor Steunenberg.
AT the Denver headquarters of the
federation it is officially stated that
both Attorneys Richardson and Oar
row are still in the employ of the
miners, and that both of them are ex-
pected to conduct Petitioners defense.
Senator Borah of the prosecution,
the federation officers say, has made a
personal appeal to the Mineowners'
association to come to Idahos financial
aid in further pushing cases against
the accused federation officials. 1t
was heard in Colorado Springs last
week that the senator had visited the
mineowners there.
Inc opinion is freely expressed that
it will be impossible TO secure a jury
for a second trial of the Steunenberg
case 1t is the belief of the federation
leaders that when Harry Orchard is
ultimately brought to trial for the con
fessed murder of Idaho's governor that
lunacy commission will be called and
that he will be declared insane.

FIGHTING THE FAMINE IN CHINA
Estimated That Three-Quarter Mil.
c lion People Have Died.

The terrible famine which has ragged
in central China for several months
is now virtually over; the crops plant
ed with the seed distributed by the
reef cOmmitteeds are being harvest
ed; the missionaries who have labored
so assiduously in the cause of human
ity are gradually coming down to the
coast for rest, and people are begin
ming to count the cost in lives and
money. The exact number of Chinese
who persisted will never be known, but
the estimate recently made by a
prominent member of the relief or.
CARNATIONS, judging from conversa-
tons with many workers, was very
much exaggerated. He computed the
loss of lives at over 100000 but on
going carefully into the facts it is
found that the famine lasted less than
eight months. and at the worst per-
iod the deaths were said to average
5000 day, so that even had this
figure been maintained for the full
period Of the famine the total mortal
ity would have been less than three
quarters of a million.

SECRETARY TAFTs PLATFORM.
Has Set Forth His Ideas in Recent
Speeches.

Speeches.
The salient features of Secretary
Taft's address at Columbus were:
He favors additional railroad rate
legislation notably an increase of pow
er to the interstate commerce COM
mission.
He favors changes in the antitrust
law which will more clearly define it.
He believes there can be such a
thing as a lawful trust, but empha-
sizes the danger of unlawful monopo-
lies.
He does not agree with Mr.. Bryan
as to the trust license plan and as
to what should be done with the
trusts"
He is in favor of remedying the
swollen fortune" evil and suggests
state legislation.
He belives that the graduated inner.
itance and income tax might be prop
erly resOrted to by the government in
case of financial emergency.
He denies that Roosevelt's policies
are socialistic and that the president
was responsible for state legislation
reducing railroad passenger rates or
| for Wall street flurries. -
He designates Mr.. Bryan's scheme
of government as "nerveless" and de.
MES the practicability of a national
referendum.
He comes out squarely against gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
He announces that he is against
free trade, but favors tariff revision
and believes there should be no tariff
tinkering until after the next presi.
| Dental election.
