FIVE ARE KILLED
 IN RAILROAD WRECK
GRAND TRUNK PASSENGER TRAIN IN DENSE FOG CRASHES INTO FREIGHT TRAIN ON SIDING. SWITCH WAS OPEN.

Detroit December 27-Speeding through a dense fog at 40 miles an hour Crank Trunk passenger train No. 5, which left Port Huron shortly before o'clock to- night for this city, collided haad-on with a double header freight train half a mile north of Lenox, Mich Five trainmen met death, four being killed instantly, the fifth dying three hours later All of the passengers escaped injury except baby, who was only slightly hurt by being thrown out of it's mothers arms and over a seat when the trains crashed
 The dead: James Bennett, passenger en- gineer, Detroit; August Johowski, freight engineer, Detroit; George Boughner, freight fireman, Detroit; Willard G. Ty- Ter, freight switchman, Detroit; Albert Mccall, passenger fireman, Port Huron, Mich.
 The passenger locomotive plowed under the engines of the double-header, and the trainmen were buried in the wreck age. Their bodies were terribly mangled and scalded by the escaping steam.
 Engineer Fred Hau and Fireman Washburn of the second freight engine escaped death. Hau was caught in his cab but was taken out unhurt. Wash burn jumped and was only slightly in- jured.
 The freight train had switched from the main track to a siding to allow the passenger to pass. It is alleged that the switch was not properly closed and on account of the heavy fog which pre- vailed the passenger could not see that the signal was set against them.

BROWNSVILLE CASE GETS INTO COURTS Discharged Private Sues for
 Balance of Pay SUIT TO TEST . AUTHORITY It Is Claimed That Prominent New England Men Back Suit To Test
 Presidents Right of
 Action.
 
SUIT TO TEST AUTHORITY

Washington, December 27.-War depart ment officials are much interested in the reported action of a firm of New York lawyers In bringing test case in the Uni ted States court for the southern district of New York to determine the right of the chief executive to discharge bat talion of the 25th infantry as an out come of the rioting at Brownsville, Tex It can not be recalled that any such ac- tion has ever before been brought against the secretary of war in the United States court under the Tucker" act of March 3, 1887. Officially this New York case has not yet reached the war department
 In due course 1t undoubtedly will do so through the service of papers upon the secretary of war by an officer of the District court. directing him to make an- swer in the suit filed by the New York attorneys in behalf of Private Reid of Company c, 18th infantry, to recover s123.26. the amount of pay which he claims from the date of his dismissal November 9, 1906. to the date of the terrni- nation of his enlistment. July IS, 1907
 When the papers reach the secretary of war he will notify the attorney gen eral and request that the department Of justice designate one of It's officers to appear for the secretary of war in the New York court when the case comes to trial.

SCOTT SAYS CANNON
 IS A STRONG MAN
DISCUSSES PRESIDENTIAL TIM BIER IMPARTIALLY AND CLOSES
 BY DENYING THAT HE AT PACKED PRESIDENT IN SPEECH.

Wheeling. w. Va, December H.-Sen- ator N B. Scott, who arrived today from New York, in an interview, said of the republican presidential candidates:
 MT. Cannon has the advantage of the republican Congressmen, all being his warm personal friends, and should they go into their individual districts and make a fight for delegates 1t would make him a pretty strong candidate, and he would be hard to beat. l would say that Taft possibly is leading at the present time, but you know that he Is in danger of being slaughtered in the house of his own friends, or rather by Foraker's friends. If Foraker succeeds in getting a fair share of the delegates from Ohio 1t Is going to be pretty hard to nominate Taft.
 ''Fairbanks is a good, clean, strong man. and the country would make no mistake in nominating him. In my opinion he is going to show great deal more strength when it comes to the con vention than good many people look for.
 Knox is a good man. would be per fectly safe, and probably there is no better lawyer in the Senate.
 Hughes in my opinion, is not well enough known, and do not believe that the republican party wants dark horse or wants to thhe Il cndnce dS to what the policies would be under man like Hughes.
 q should say there may possibly be some knowledge of a financial measure passed, although in a conversation Sen ator Aldrlch told me he was going to go very slow and be very careful; that possibly Legislation might only make con ditions worse. For my own part, l am really in favor of a central bank, some thing on the same system as the Cen tral Bank of Germany. My observation is that the men who knew the least about financial and business methods of the country are the most anxious fellows to rush in and prepare new currency bills. :"
 The Senator denied that he assailed President Roosevelt in a recent speech before the Potters' association, and said his relations with the President were most friendly.

WOMEN MAY SMOKE
 THE GOVERNOR OUT
HUGHES OF NEW YORK ACCEPTS INVITATION TO DINE WITH THE
 WEST END WoMEN's REPUBLI- CAN ASSOCIATION JANUARY 17.

Washington December 27-(Special)- Are the women going to smoke out the Governor of New York?
 Will he confide his presidential aspira- tions to them?
 These are a couple of questions being asked by politicians today when they saw the announcement that Governor Hughes will be the guest of the West End Womens Republican association at a dinner to be given at the Hotel Astor on January IT.
 The dinner had been arranged for Janu- ary 27, but the governor could not come on that date. He wrote to Mrs. William Grant Brown, president of the club. that he could come on the 17th, and without consulting anyone she wrote him that the date of the dinner would be changed to that day.
 Yesterday at the regular social meeting of the club in the Astor her action was ratified. This event will be the first dinner ever given by republican women in New York city, and consequently it will be the first function of the kind with a governor and possibly future Pres adsnt a c guest of hon0

MURDER OF WOMAN IS STILL MYSTERY Detectives Believe Crime Was Committed In Newark WOMAN WAS SEEN THERE Carpenter, After Viewing the Body of Unidentified Girl, Says He Directed
 Her To a Restaurant Last
 Tuesday Night.
WOMAN WAS SEEN THERE

New York, December 27.-While the mystery surrounding the circumstances of the murder of the unknown young wom- an whose body was found nearly sub merged in a pond on the outskirts of Harrison. N. J., appears no nearer solu- ton tonight than when the body was discovered, the theory which the detec- tives are now working on is that the woman came to her death in Newark and that her body was carried to the lonely pond so that the real scene of the crime and the identity of the slayer might be concealed.
 The Newark police are tonight searching for the slayer, who is believed to have met the young woman by appointment in Newark and then lured her to her death.
 Evidence was had today that the wom- an was seen in Newark on Christmas Eve by William Snyder, a carpenter, who stated after seeing the body that the young woman had spoken to him in New ark on the night before Christmas and asked to be directed to a restaurant. He said the woman told him that she was a stranger.
 Chief Rogers of Harrison and the de- tectives working under his direction admit tonight that they are unable to throw any light upon the case. County Phy- sician Converse viewed the body of the woman this afternoon, but did not per form the autopsy which the police hoped would determine whether the woman was drugged or strangled. The body shows no evidence of struggle.
 The police assert that the murderer knew the locality where he sought to conceal the body as the pond Is extreme ly difficult of access in the day time and only one who was well acquainted with the neighborhood would attempt to reach the place at night. An under garment belonging to the woman was found near the Passaic Yacht club today. The garment was slit up the back, the same AS the woman's waist which was found with the other clothing yester- day.
 Many persons called at the morgue in Harrison to view the body, but no identi- fication was made.

Await Courts Action.

Goldfield, New, December 27-Both sides of the labor controversy are anxiously awaiting word from Carson City as to the result of the attempt of the mine owners to secure from the United States circuit court an injunction against the members of the Western Federation of Miners and the Goldfeld Miners union, prohibiting them from picketing the mine and com polling them to cease meeting or conduct ing the business of the union In Gold field.
 The mine owners are hopeful of the success of the measure, while the leaders in the union are still maintaining that they will fight to the end any such in- Junction if granted.
 As yet there has been no apparent effort made by the union or c. F. Mahoney, on behalf of the Western Federation of Miners, to prevent the granting of the in- junction.
 The sheriff has today sworn in about 150 more deputies who are to be ready for a call to duty at any minute after the departure of the troops.

NeWIands Does Not Nant With-
 draWaI Order Executed
PRESIDENTS ADVICE SOUGHT
Governor Sparks May Call Special Session of Legislature at Gold feld-Secretary Loeb
 Is Silent.

Washington. December, 27.-Senator Newlands of Nevada is endeavoring to prevent withdrawal of the government troops from Goldfield until some other means of protection is had. Today he called upon Secretary Taft at the war department and strongly urged that the execution of the order issued by the sec retary for the withdrawal of the troops next Monday be suspended until he has had an opportunity to communicate with Governor Sparks and endeavor to induce him to call the Nevada legislature to- gether.
 Secretary Taft has been advising with Secretary Root on this subject, and 1t is probable that the President will be com- municated with at Pine Knot. There is every disposition to refrain from break ing upon his privacy at this time, and the only excuse for doing so Is found in the fact that unless the original order Is mod flied, the troops must leave Goldfeld next Monday morning and before the Presi- dent returns to Washington.
 Something Must Be Done.
 Administration officials feel that the present situation in the matter of Gold field cannot be continued in view of the doubt that exists as to the constitutional and legal right of the executive to employ any part of the regular army in Nevada under present conditions.
 Governor Sparks attention has been repeatedly called to the fact that this doubt might be removed by the simple device of calling together the state legis- 1ature, when that body could either give its warrant for the use of federal troops or provide by legislation for raising a state force of some kind, either militia or police, sufficient to insure the main tenance of peace and the observance of law in Goldfield.
 It is believed that Senator Newlands appeal today is an indication of the will ingness of the governor to recall his re- fusal to convene the legislature in session, and if this belief is we'll founded the gov ernment troops would probably be re- tained at Goldfeld until some other ar engagements can be made.
 Communicated With President.
 Following the receipt of Senator New lands protest, Secretary of War Taft to- night communicated with President Roosevelt at Pine Knot in regard to the withdrawal of the troops at Goldfeld The secretary declined to state what course he had recommended In the mat ter. nor would he say whether he had heard from the President in turn. Sec retary Loeb said the White House was entirely without advices from Pine Knot as the Goldfeld question was being ham, dled by the war department.

MANY QUESTIONS
 BEING DISCUSSED
Delegates to Number of 300
 Meet At Madison
SEVERAL ASSOCIATIONS
President J. Franklin Jameson of the American Historical Association Makes Annual Address-Jud-
 son Also Speaks.

Madison, Wis, December 27.-Delegates to the number of 300 are here from all parts of the United States to attend the sessions of the historic, economic, politi- cal science, sociological, and labor as- sociations.
 The convention will be continued until Tuesday. The American Historical and the American Political Science associa- tions held a joint meeting tonight. Ad dresses of welcome was delivered by Edward Birge of the Wisconsin Univer- sty. J. Franklin Jameson, president of the American Historical association de- livered his annual address, speaking on the theme "The American Aota Sane torium."
 "The Future of Representative Govern ment' was the subject of the annual address of Frederick N. Judson, president of the American Political Science associ- ation MT. Judson said in part:
 Representative government implies government by discussion and this has be- come impossible in the national house of representatives on account of pressure of business and the large and unwieldy membership. The result has been con- centration of power in the speaker and the committee on rules, which each party is compelled to adopt when in power, though it condemns it when in opposi- ton.
 There has been a radical change in our state constitutions. which have be- come in effect codes of laws, full of de- tailed restraints, regulations and prohi- bitions.
 '"The referendum is now demanded as an additional restraint upon the legisla- ture. While 1t may have a place as an interrorem preventative, or as means of ascertainng specific subjects of popu- larty, it cannot be substituted for leg islative discretion In the details of legis- 1ation
 Direct primary laws, whatever their merits. would substitute the officeseekers for the representative candidacy and seri- ously enhance the expense of nominations and elections. Effective public control could be sesured by diminishing the num- ber of elective offices and by public serv- ice reform in our municipalities.
 True representative government can only be secured by public opinion, will ing to make the necessary sacrifices of time and trouble for it's maintenance; and not the least of the causes of the de- cline of representative assemblies in the intense commercialisrn of our time"
