The great love existing between
President Roosevelt upon the one
hand and the two Buckeye senators
on the other is shown in the fed.
eral judgship contest which is now
on. President Roosevelt had intend
ed to appoint Judge Adams ol
GAINESVILLE and he had practically
promised that Adams would be the
nominee. Some che informed the
president that Adams had sided
with the two senators in the Day

the Boston and Maine railroad. began
here today under the direction OF NJ. ID.
Cobeigh OF Lebanon, the county solicitor.
Until his inquiry and the railroad COM
panys own investigation are completed,
the actual responsibility for the accident
will remain in doubt. According to a
statement issued by the railroad officials.
blunder in handling train orders was
clearly the cause, but the identity OF the
employe responsible for the error remains
To be determined.
County solicitor Cobeigh said early to-
day that he will take Immediately such
action as is required of him as an official
under the laws OF New Hampshire.
Meanwhile the bodies OF the victims will
be turned over TO relatives who claim
them. At the rooms of the undertaking

were removed after the accident % bodies
were laid out in long rows early today.

identified by relatives, while the Identity
OF several others was believed to be suffi-
ciently known. OF the injured who were
removed TO the Mary Hitchcock hospital
i'm Hanover. one died during the night and
another. an unidentified girl, was believed
J TO be fatally hurt. The others injured are
expected TO recover, according to a report

On one side of the embankment lay the
two big engines, head to head, In an al

strange thing that In such a terrific inn
pact no explosion had occurred and no
fire started. AS many OF the wrecked
trains had been filed with grain and pa

would have cut off all attempts to rescue
the injured.

tai orders for the freight train to proceed
on the passenger trains time was not at
his post this morning. the officials having
temporarily removed him. Greeley was
known to almost every one in town and
was regarded highly here as capable
agent and operator, positions which he
had held with the railroad company for
period covering more than 20 years.
During the night not few people could
be met on the roads leading from the
wreck with big rolls OF glazed white pa
per on their shoulders, which they had
found among the wrecked freight cars.
Other persons also helped themselves to
portions OF the tons OF grain. mostly corn,
which was strewn about the tracks. No
effect was made to guard the wreckage
