Wreck KILLS SCORE
SUBURBAN TRAIN In new
YORK JUMPS THE TRACK,
Was Running Fast-Fire Broke Out
From Electricity, but Was Quickly
Put Out-RaiI Probably Broken
Matinee Crown and Commuters
Were Going Home.

New York, Feb. 17.-Sixteen pas.
sengers were killed outright, four
others had died of their injuries up to
midnight, and at least SO more were
more or less seriously injured in the
wreck Of the White Plains and Brews-
ter express on the Harlem division of
the New York Central & Hudson
River railroad, near WoodIawn road
in the Bronx borough of Greater New
York tonight.
The train left the Grand Central
station at 6:1S o'clock, drawn by two
heavy electric motors and loaded with
a matinee crowd and commuters on
their way home from business in the
city. 1t consisted of a combination
baggage and smoking car and five
coaches. After stopping at One Hun
dred and Twenty-f1fth street the train
was scheduled to run express to White
Plains. At Woodlawn road the four
tracks run through a rocky cut and
take a sharp curve. When the train
reached the curve it was running at a
speed estimated by some at go miles
All hour. Both motors and the smok-
ing car swung safely around the curve,
but the other cars left the rails and
plunging over on their sides with a
terrific crash and tearing up the tracks
for 100 yards before they collapsed.
OF those instantly killed by far the
greater number were women. Many
were mangled beyond recognition.
Many of the injured were quickly ex-
tricated from the wreckage, while 9TH
ers were so Dinioned that they could
not be taken out for some time. Those
most seriously injured were hurried to
hospitals, while coroners took charge
of the dead as fast as bodies we're re-
covered. Fire started in the overturn-
ed cars. but the flames were quickly
extinguished, 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 taken to hospitals in this city.
The rear car, containing more wom-
en- then the others, suffered the great
est, as it overturned and the break
ing the coupling released it from tho
car ahead. 1t was literally torn to
pieces and scattered for 100 feet
across Woodland avenue. Many pas
sengers practically uninjured tumbled
from the cars and hurried to tele-
phones summoning aid.
The train was in charge Of Engineer
Edward Rogers and Conductor John
Williams.

KAULeARs DISPUTES 1T
Tells Different Story From General
kuropatkin.

sSPasNhe
Odessa-General Kaulbars, governor
general of Odessa, today said the
charges brought against him by Cen
eral Kuropatkin in his book on the
Russo-Japanese war, were entirely
false. He continued:
"On the eve of the battle of Febru-
airy %, 1904, the Russians were camped
between the Sha and Hun rivers. l
submitted to Kuropatkin a plan, SUBJ
sequently rejected, to attack jointly
the Japanese from our entertainments,
the japanese having none. The de-
feat was chiefly due to Kuropatkin's
removing my reserves to reinforce our
left, thus running into a trap of the
Japanese, whose demonstrative adj
vance on their right effected the de-
sired concentration Of our troops on
our left. My forces consequently.were
inadequate to repulse the thanking
movements of Nogi's Port Arthur
army. Moreover, my army was en-
trenched with $50 guns for an at
tack on Sandpur when Kuropatkin in
stead ordered me to oppose Nogi,
whom, with his reserves, he could
easily have beaten.
ION February ~ my army effective
ly covered the retreat of the other

CASE UP TO HOUSE
Senate Has Passed Resolution Which
Roosevelt Asked For.

Roosevelt Asked For.
Washington-The state department
is awaiting the disposition by congress
Of the pending immigration bill be-
fore proceeding further with the con-
sideration of the Japanese exclusion
question. If the bill is enacted an
immediate effort will be made to come
to a formal agreement with the Japan
csc government that will insure the
continuance of the present policy Of
that government of Withholding pass
ports to America to Japanese laborers.
So far as the pending bill is concerned
it Is stated that there is every reason
to believe that it will be acceptable to
Japan. At any rate there has not yei
been the faintest sign of disapprova
in that quarter.
An interesting fact that has dc
veloped in the discussion of the r.
spective rights of state and matte
where treaties are involved is that ]
at least one case the California cour

in favor Of the supremacy of the tire
ties, in one instance holding that I

estate could not be destroyed by a
