MAYOR ScHMiTZ is
DENOUNCED BY HIS
FORMER FRIENDS
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-City At
torney Burke, denouncing the action of
Mayor Schmitz "in effecting any COM
promise on the Japanese school ques-
ton" declares that 'if the mayor has
made the agreement that he is re-
ported to have made with President
Roosevelt the dearest rights of the
American people have been sold"
Labor leaders, especially those rep
resented in that wing of local organized
labor known as the japanese and Ko-
rean Exclusion league, view with keen
dissatisfaction the generally shared be-
lief that in helping to effect a settle
ment the question Mayor Schmitz and
his board of education conferees have
compromised the claims of San Fran
cisco which they went to Washington
to present.
A. II. Yoell, secretary of the league,
is quoted as saying in an address to-
night:
IF Mayor Schmltz has made any
agreement by which japanese children
are to be allowed to attend the same
schools as American children 1t wa
be better for him not to come back tC
San Francisco. Such an agreement
would be betraying the trust that peo
pie have put in him and l believe they
would stone him in the streets wheT
he returns here"

FOR DOWNFALL OF GIRLS

by Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.--A dispatch 20
the Tribune from Detroit, Mich, says
Bishop Charles u. Williams at
I,enten service yesterday, attended
largely by society women, declared
that they were to blame for the down
fall OF girls employed In big depart
ment stores.
"a poor girl goes to the city," Bishop
Williams said, land begins to work III
n department store, managed by n
representative Christian man. Her
wages are about 81 week. She cam
not support herself on that. Then
there comes the suggestion-and have
heard 1t backed up by the actual words
of the so-called Christian employer
that there are other things she can do.
"Who is responsible? You, my sis
ter. The day of Judgment Will be a
day of surprises for you. You Will per-
haps find yourself wearing the brand
of shame on your brow that now seems
so fair-not because OF wrong that you
have done. but that because of your
unholy lust for bargains you have
made conditions such that your less
fortunate sister is crushed to the mud
of the pavements.'

OF BROTHERS DEATH
By Associated Press.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Feb. 16.-When
shown the Associated Press dispatch
containing the news that his brother,
Harry Corbett, had been found dead at
San Francisco, j. j. Corbett was
shocked.
Il can scarcely believe it. I got a
letter from him last week. He was in
perfect health" he said.
When informed that the dispatch
came direct from San Francisco and
was true, he said:
II will send a wire at once. Harry
was the finest one of the Corbett fam
lily. This is terrible news to me. This
is the second time I have had dis
patch of this kind handed to me. My
father died suddenly and my brother
was found dead in bed
Harry was certainly the best one of
the family. He leaves a blind daughter.
The news is certainly an awful blow
and l hardly feel that 1 can appear at
the theater."
Corbett is acting the leading role in
melodrama playing here and was un-
able to cancel his engagement for to-
days matinee and the night perform
ance.

suit brought by George Crocker of San
Francisco to recover $4,000 from Dr.

validity of the contract.
lie freely entered into Mr. Croker s
contention for the return of a part of
the fec saying that the suit was not
well founded, because DR.. Doyen had
not refused to take his services and

NO OFFICIAL STEPS
TAKEN IN JAPAN TO
SOLVE THE QUESTION
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldIcu Press.
TOXIC, Feb. 17.-No official step has
yet been taken regarding a solution of
the San Farncisco school question on
the basis of the restricted admission
of Japanese laborers.
Should a solution of the controversy
be effected on that basis it is believed
quite generally that the government
would be a target for violent attacks
by the opposition. The authorities are
keenly aware of the gravity OF the sit
uation and are apparently prepared to
meet the situation calmly and reso-
lutely. Judging from their attitude a
final solution on the basis of restricted
immigration might not be entirely
hopeless.
The Asahi this morning significantly
calls attention to article OF the ex-
listing treaty between Japan and the
United States.

OMAHA. Neb., Feb. 16.-The inter-
state commerce commission is to inves-
tigate the relationship between the
Western Union and the Postal Tele-
graph companies on one side, ana the
packing houses, grain firms ana other
business houses throughout the coun-
try. which have heretofore had special
telegraph wires and special operators
furnished them.
This morning all through wires OF
this description We're discontinued here
and only pony" wires running from
these offices into the main telegraph
offices were left. The operators man
ming these wires from the packing
hous ends are now employed by the
packing houses and not by the tele-
graph companies.
Make Investigation
The interstate commerce commission
is said to have taken the position that
furnishing the large customers or
the telegraph companies with facilities
denied the smaller customers Is IN tact
a discrimination, and an investigation
is demanded.
In the packing houses at South Oma-
ha this morning every through wire
which was not actually leased to the
hacking houses was pulled out of COM
munication and the packing houses
forced to have their kilograms relayed
at the main offices.
E. A. Cudahy, head OF the Cudahy
Packing company, said:
The only effect of the new order is
that we will be compelled to lease our
wires instead of simply sending telc-
grams at commercial rates over wires
furnished by the telegraph companies
All the packers will probably lease new
wires today and have full use of them
The operators will be packing house
employees instead of telegrah company
employees"

At Woodlawn road the four tracks run

When the train reached the curve it

some at sixty miles an hour.
Both motors and the smoking car
swung safely around the curve but the
other cars left the rails and plunged
over on their sides with terrific crash,
tearing up the tracks for a hundred
yards before they collapsed.

The latest report is that he will de-
velop in the cross-eXamination of Drs.
Wagner and Evans the grounds for ask
ing the court to appoint such a commits

is sane, the trial would be resumed.
But if he should be declared of unsound

Flames Quickly Extinquished

Fire started in the overturned cars,
but the flames were QUICKLY eXtin-
guished and the firemen lent their aid
to the injured.
Special trains carried many of the
injured to White Plains and Mount
Vernon, while others were brought to
hospitals in this city.
The rear car containing more women
than the others, suffered the greatest
as 1t overturned and the breaking of
the coupling released it from the cars
ahead, and it was literally torn to
pieces and scattered for q hundred feet
across Woodlawn avenue.
Many passengers, practically unin-
jured, tumbled from the cars and hur-
ried to telephones, thus summoning aid
superintendent Miller Bronson of the
Harlem division stated at II o'clock to-
night that the cars had been cleared
and that no bodies had been found
The police estimate the dead at six
teen.
The train was in charge of Engineer

Cause Not Known

The cause of the wreck was not Off
cially determined tonight At the
Grand Central station there was in
clination to blame the accident to
spreading rails, but later it was said
that it was believed that the axle Of
the first passenger coach broke.
Leonard b. Greene of White Plains
who occupied seat in the smoker di-
rectly behind the second motor, told
the story of the trains approach TO the
Woodlawn road curve. 1t was travel
ing at terrific speed according to Mr..
Greene, though railroad men estimated
by the distance the overturned cars
were carried that the train was making
between forty and forty-five miles an
hour.
Il remarked on the speed" said Mr..
Greene, when we hit that curve and
we instinctively stopped playing cards
and looked back. Suddenly the car
lurched to one side. In a moment we
broke loose from the rest of the train
and we could see the rear cars turning
over"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-17

Stories by other survivors were SINH
lar. Dismembcred bodies were strung
along for a distance of 100 yards. One
woman was impalcd on a huge splinter
from railroad tie. Although the
scene of the wreck was in the heart Of
a thiCkly populated section it was some
time before nearby residents reached
the scene. For a time only one physi-
clan could be secured. Later aid came
without stint
shortly after midnight Coroner
SchWannccker made n statement in
which he said
Il have taken possession of one Of
the rails ana shall hold it for a techni-
cal examination. In my preliminary
investigation l found "A defect in this
rail, which indicated, in my opinion,
the place whore a big wheel. proba bly,
one of the drive wheels OF the electric
engine, hit the rail at a point almost
directly under the Woodlawn bridge.
This rail has "A clearly defined inden-
tation."

Holocaust Averted

A sheet of electric flame that origi-
mated from the disaster enveloped the
rear car and for a moment threatened
DEBRIS. The flames did not, however,
spread, and the horror Of a holocaust
was averted. AS the cars fell they
smashed the third rail and caused much
danger.
In the crash, however, there was
death for many, while practically every
one i'm the four coaches received In
iurics of some sort. Many were ground
to pieces and for hours Identification
was almost hopeless. AS the cars went
over many OF the passengers were
thrown into or through the windows
and cut and manned.
