Potentate Reuben D. Morgan of
Cleveland, Henry H. Squire of San
dusky and John F. Lane of Conneaut
were on hand at the session of the
council, but Representative Owen B.
Harmon of Cleveland was taken sick
and could not come.
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher of Cleveland,
the latter being one Of those reported
killed, and DR.. Flower and wife of
Ashtabula formed the rest of the dele

family.
Originally it had been planned to go
west jointly with Toledo's temple, but
the plan fell through and the Toledoans

Erie, Pa.
Mr.. Morgan was a we'll known busi-
ness man of Cleveland. His wife and
two children were with him on the
trip. On his first trip when he went
west he had arranged for quarters at
the Occidental hotel, but the contracts
were finally Cancelled when the Cleve-

one hundred yards, finally plunging in
to the ditch.
The tender was flung over the engine
by the cars behind. The baggage car
and the diner which was evidently the
second car, plunged under and over the
engine, and following these were two
heavy Pullman sleepers.
The greatest loss of life occurred in
the diner, which seems to have been
filled with passengers. Not a person
in this car escaped death. The doomed
passengers were carried into close con-
tact with the engine, buried under the
cars that came behind and for the
most part scalded to death. The bodies
taken to San Luis Obispo, almost with
out exception, are horribly disfgured
and almost unrecognizable.
The Buffalo, Reading and Cleveland
Shriners, with their wives and children
occupied the dining car and two sleep
ers, the Duenna and Oswego. It was
in these three cars that the havoc oc-
Cured. In the baggage car the bag
gageman was instantly killed.
In the diner it is estimated that
twelve or fourteen passengers, three
colored walters, the Pullman conductor
and a brakeman met death, and sew
eral victims were passengers in the
sleepers. Two coaches did not leave
the track, and apparently none Of their
passengers were injured
The list of dead and injured was fur
nished tie Associated Press by Ed
ward G.. Kern of Reading, a member
of Rajah temple.
The special which brought the un-
fortunate travellers to San Luis Obispo
started from the scene of the wreck
with the wounded only.
Some of them however, died on the
way. There are now seventeen seri-
ously injured in two sanitariums.
AAll of the dead were in two under

EVERY PASSENGER IN
DINING CAR is SAID
TO HAVE BEEN KILLED

AT 8 o'clock this morning it was
found that there were 145 people
on the wrecked train. Of this
number II belong to Ismailia
temple, Buffalo; 4s to Rajah tenn
pie, Reading; to Salaam temple,
New Jersey; 20 more were train
men, porters, walters, etc.
A report from San Luis Obispo,
which appears to be we'll founded,
gives as the cause of the wreck
the fact that a railroad crew was
engaged in repairing the track.
The wrecked special approach
ed without warning at a very high
rate of speed and the track gave

SANTA BARBARA, May 11.-At least
twenty-five persons are believed to have
perished in disastrous wreck on the
coast line of the Southern Pacific this
afternoon when a special train, carry
ing three delegations of eastern Shrin-
ers who were returning from a week
of merrymaking at Los Angeles, left
the track at Honda, a station fifty-lI1ne
miles north of here, and piled up in a
ditch
The engine, tender baggage car and
diner, with three coaches, were piled
up in hopeless confusion and terror was
added by the wreckage taking fire, but
while the flames were quickly extin-
guished by survivors, passengers and
trainmen were scalded and burned
while buried beneath shattered cars.
From north and south aid was rushed
at once by special train. Doctors and
nurses on special trains from Santa
Barbara and San Luis Obispo raced tC
the scene of the wreck, but at midnight
the train from this city had not re-
turned. Two carloads of dead anc
wounded were hurried into San Luis
Obispo shortly before o'clock, anc
while the bodies of the dead were
turned over to volunteer corps of Ma.
sons who had learned of the disaster
to their brethren, the injured were hur.
ried to hospitals and houses where cots
and beds were awaiting their coming
and where doctors and nurses were i'm.
mediately in attendance.
The wrecked train, which constituted
portion OF NO. I'll, the nOrthDOunC
coaster" left Santa Barbara at 1910
While travelling upon the schedule o.
regular train it was actually a spe
cial, known as the Ismailia special
and carrying among others representa-
tives of Rajah temple of Reading, Pa.
| Ismailia temple of Buffalo. N. Y, anC
| AL Koran temple of Cleveland, Ohio.
While it is probable that delegates
from other portions of New York were
aboard the train it is known that ther,
were no residents of New York city
and the list of dead shows that a ma
jority of the victims were from Read
ing.
Cause of Wreck lr Not Known
Two irreconcilable statements hav,
been made as to the cause of tn,
wreck. 1t is said that drifting sane
along the track formed an obstruction
with which the engine of the Ismailis
special collided
! The other report, received just befor,
midnight from Lompoc, ascribes th'
disaster to a switch rail, broken or i'm
properly placed. According to th
Lompoc correspondent, who viewed

HARTMAN AGAIN IN COURT.
Not Forced to Tell to Whom He Read
a Certain Letter,

NEW YORK, April 4.-E. H. Hartman
again came out victorious yesterday in a
battle of words with exMagistrate Alfred
E. Ommen, who sought to learn the identity
of the person to whom Mr.. Hartman has
admitted that he once read his famous
Where do I stand?' letter prior to its re-
cent publication in a morning newspaper
The occasion of the verbal duel was the
resumption before Magistrate Wahle In tho
examination room of the Tombs court Of
the hearing Of Mr.. Harrimans former ste
nogra pher, Frank w. Hill, charged with
having sold the letter to a newspaper.
Mr.. Hartman was the first witness called
and, contrary to expectation, sum-
moned to the stand witness for the
defense by Mr.. Ommen, who represents
Hill. The former magistrate Immediately
asked:
Did you read this letter to any one out
side of your own office?'
Assistant District Attorney Krotel OBJ
jected to this line Of inquiry and Magis-
trate Wahle ruled that the state law which
makes the publication of a private commu-
nication without the consent of its owner
misdemeanor applied in this case, no mat
ter what the federal law which Mr.. Ommen
wanted to invoke provided.
Mr.. Hartman might have shown that
letter to any one he chose" said the magis-
trate. THE law in this case is plain, and
I do not intend to the case hippo
dromed.' "
Mr.. Ommen made last effort to learn to
whom Mr.. Hartman had read the letter by
demanding:
did you show the letter or a copy of It
to Representative Sherman"
Mr.. Krotel's objection was sustained,
and Mr.. Ommen turned to a consideration
of Mr. Harriman's efforts to stop the publ
cation of his letter.
Mr.. Hartman said he had kept a man in
the office of the newspaper which published
the letter until after the paper had gone to
press in an effort to prevent the publication.
He had also called up on the telephone an
other paper, and had been told that the
Sidney Webster letter was not to be used
Il was surprised in the morning., Mr..
Hartman added, Ito see that this paper
had also published the letter"
Mr.. Ommen then announced that he rest
ed his case. Magistrate Wahle gave him
until April 20 to file brief the point as
to whether the state or federal law applied
in this case, and promised to announce his
decision in the Jefferson Market court on
May 1.
