hotels we're besieged by frantic
friends, but little early information
beyond bulletins was obtainable The
trains both bore hundreds of Shrln-
ers bound for San Francisco on their
way home.
The bulletins said that the first
section ran into boulder and that
the second section plunged into the
wreckage Of the first and went over
an embankment. Recent rains had
dislodged several boulders, but all
had apparently been promptly detect
ed and removed by section forces.
The locomotive turned a somer-
sault into the yielding sands. It
tore up the track, twisting the huge
steel rails into fish hooks. The bag
gage car half buried inself in the
sand on the right side of the loco

INVESTIGATION OF GREAT LUM-
BER TRUST.
Lumber Market il Controlled and
Profits Are Enormous. Z.

Washington, May 14.-The great
Lumber Trust has now become the
target of the Bureau Of Corporations.
The most comprehensive investigat-
ton yet undertaken will be made of
this combination. If sufficient evil
dence can be collected prosecutions
will be brought by the Department
Of Justice, says a special dispatch to
the New York World.
The investigation is regarded as
the most difficult yet undertaken by
the bureau. More preplexing factors
enter into this inquiry than into those
of the Beef Trust and the Standard
Oil Company.
Commissioner Smith will follow
the same lines as those. adopted by
Mr.. Garfield in his investigation of
the Standard OIL combination and
the Beef trust. Special agents are
now being sent into different sections
OF the country to gather data on pro-
duction and on the restraint Of COM
petition.
In the mean time a preliminary
inquiry concerning the prices of lum-
ber has been concluded. 1t shows
that during the past ten years the
prices OF all kinds of lumber has
steadily increased and that the dim
inishing supply of timber is not alone
responsible.

Traders Try to Stem the Rush Up
ward, but Are Overwhelmed.

Chicago, May 15.-Dollar wheat
was ushered In in an outburst of the
widest and most spontaneous fever
that has ever characterized trading
on the Board of Trade. Heavy real

ward somewhat, but at the close the
market was strong, and, according
to the majority of spectators, the
demand upon which the late ad-
vance had been made was still un-

died to the capacity of the pit, were
fully awakened to the fact that the
market had opened, the September
future had been hoisted to $1.OOs,
and the December to $1.03 a bushel
The moment 81 was reached a wild
shout was lifted. In the uproar the
marker found himself unable to keep
track of the jumbled trading. Con-
sequently opening quotations were
chalked officially as 95c to 400 "a
for September and 90 6Rc. to $1.O3

which the trade was chiefly inter-
ested, scared to 97c. in the moments
