FIGHTS MILEAGE BOOKS.
Wabash Official Tells House Committee
They Produce Improbable Rate
from Favored Class

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. I'D o. Ives,
general traffic manager Of the Wabash,
is opposed to the sherman bill, now / r
fore Congress, which requires all rail
roads in the United States to issue mile
age books for 1000 miles or more of
travel at flat rate OF > cents Il mile
Outlining the position of the Wabash
Mr. Ives has forwarded to the House
committee on Interstate and foreign COM
merce, statements that certainly Will
create lively discussion in railroad cir
Giles, and meet with criticism. Mr. Ives
not only opposes the Sherman bill, but
in emphatic terms condemns the entire
railway mileage book system now in eff
feet, rs being wrong, and asserts that
it is in violation of the amended inter
state commerce law. He says:
The whole mileage book system is wrong
and should be abolished. 1t produces
favorable conditions, for those with plenty
of money, which are not enjoyed by those
of small means Mileage books were
placed on sale originally by reason of strong
pressure brought by commercial travellers
before the passage of the interstate COM
merce law, and when this law was passed
the tickets were sold TO the public This
fine of argument can be used to indicate
that the whole mileage system Is wrong. in
that it produces an Improbable rate from
favored class. 4 condition the present
interstate commerce law combats.

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

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Jan. 21.-
Evidences that gross criminal negl-
gence in the shipping of explosives which
is responsible for the death of probably
twenty-four passengers on Il Big -Four
accommodation train early yesterday
morning ut Sandford 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, 50
badly are the remains mangled. In adj
dition to these have oeen picked up
scores of broken fragments OF anatomy.
ranging from the single hand of Il child
TO the crushed and severed head of Il
man. enough 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-
ribie 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
i'll packing the car of powder responsible
for the horror.
The railroad officials are almost CON
WINGED there was dynamite mixed with
the powder III the ear that exploded. \
former employee of the Fontanet powder
mills near here says it is Il 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 i'll
vcstigation.
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 Il switch al
Sanford to allow the Big -Four loca /
train running from indianapolis to Mat
tOOn, ILL.,. consisting of the engine, com
5ination 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
lilies hold is that the car was laden with
dynamite or nitroglycerin. packed with
criminal CareleSSneSS. and that it WAS
exploded by concession.

FEDERAL BENCH IN
PRESIDENTS HAND.
Missouri Representative Favors Execu-
tive Firing" Power-Radical
Measure Offered

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 19-Rep-
resentatiyc De Almond Of Missouri has
proposed i'll the House to place in the
hands Of the President and the Senate
a weapon to remove from active service
any federal Judge for cause"
If the De Almond proposal were
law today President Roosevelt could
nominate successor to Judge Hum
phrey Of Illinois, for example, and if the
Senate approved, the latter WOuld be re
tired upon his present pay. The Presi-
dent even could name new justices OF the
supreme court, provided he could satisfy
the Senate Of the propriety Of his rea-
sons for the retirement Of the jurists he
desired to replace.
Author Explains Bill.
Mr.. DE Almonds bill provides briefly
that the President, by and with the add
vice and consent Of the Senate, for rea
sons stated in the nomination, may APP
point successor to any judge. the lat
ter to be Immediately retired.
As the constitution now stands Mr..
De Almond said, "all federal judges are
appointed for life. They can be gotten
out Of Office only by their retirement,
resignation, death or impeachment. \
law provides for the retirement of Judges
after reaching 20 years and after 10
-yearS service
The bill | have introduced was sug
gcsted by various occurrences which
have come TO my attention while serving
as Il member of the House judiciary
committee. Every now an then pressure
is brought for the creation of an addi-
tional iudgeship in the District Of Co
lumbia, it being claimed that some Of the
Judges III service are old on infirm or i'll.
1T occurred to me that in cases of this
character some means should be pro-
vided to get such Judges or the bench.
This cannot be done by impeachment
and they will not resign. | have, there
fore, framed bill authorizing the Iresi-
dent to retire them by nominating their
successors"
Cites Effect of Law
M re Almond was asked what
would be the effect Of such law as he
proposes in case Of Il Judge like Judge
Humphrey, who rendered Il decision dis
tasteful to the President
IF my bill lad been n law Mt the
time of the beef trust decision" he re
sponded, the President would have had
authority to send to lie Senate the
nomination of a successor to Judge
Humphrey, who thereupon would have
been retired with the pay Of his office
The Senate. Of course, would pass upon
the sufficiency Of the reasons advanced
by the President for Humphreys re-
tirement."
