DASTARDLY WORK
Train Wreckers Ditched One of the Southern Pacific Coast
 Line Flyers.

Los Angeles, Cal. May 22.-Train No 20, one of the Southern PaciAc's coast flyers, due at 9 o'clock last night was wrecked at West Glendale, near here at 12:30 this morning. The wreck was the deliberate work of train wreckers. One man who was stealing a ride was killed and 2 other per sons injured, three probably fatally.
 In accomplishing the wreck of the train, which was the coast line limit ed, devilish ingenuity had been ex- ercised. At point on a trestie over the Arroyo Seco, the fish plates and bolts of two connecting rails on the southbound track had been remov- ed. and ill the apertures whence the bolts were taken strands of heavy wire were fastened at the end of each rail. From tho appearance of the track af- ter the wreck 1t was evident that some person hidden on a hillside close to the trestle had pulled the wire as tie train approached and spread the rails outward toward the edge of the tres tie. s
 The train, three hours late, was travelling at a rate of between 35 and 40 miles an hour. The engine wheels were first to leave the rails and the engine took to the ties, travelling near ly 100 yards before 1t was brought to a standstilI The tender. the diner, two Pullmans, the buffet, mail and baggage cars plunged over the edge of the trestle, falling distance of 16 feet The buffet car, the express car and one of the PIllmans were turned completely upside down and the others landed on their sides. All were badly crushed and splintered.

VACANT SEATS
Russian Radicals Refuse 10 Con- graduate the Emperor -
 Open Revolution
STOLYPIN's REFUSAL

St Petersburg, May 22.-The con- certed absence from the lower house of parliament of the four radical groups during the formal announce ment May 20 of the discovery of the plot against the life of Emperor Nicholas and their frank refusal to congratulate the emperor on his es- cape has made deep impression in court and government circles. The Rossiya to-day characterized the ac- tion of the radicals as being openly revolutionary and in strict harmony with the social democratic congress in London, thereby giving the lie to the denials of the social democrats that they are planning general strike and an armed uprising for the coming summer"
 Fifty-five conservative deputies have addressed an open letter to President Golovine calling the atten- tion of the Russian people to the radical great act of disloyalty to the throne" in thus absenting them selves from the house.
 The police have made further ar rests at Tsarskoe-Selo in conjunction with the conspiracy against the em- peror and have found among the cor respondence seized letters from American anarchists and Russian deserters in the United States
 Premier Stolypin has refused the request of the city council of St Pe- tersburg to appear before the com mittee of the unemployed of the low CT house of parliament.

STRIKERS BUSY
Bosses and Men Had a Run in al Saybrook Early This
 Morning
SHERIFFS GIVE AID

NeW haven, May zz.-Early re- ports to-day from the several divis- ions of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, on which the section laborers are disputing over the present rate of wages, indicate that few of the strikers have re- turned to work. At Saybrook Juno ton just before o'clock a gang of fifty strikers from Hartford tried to induce the 150 men at work to leave, offering them money for transporta- ton to other places. The workers refused to throw down their tools and as some of the railroad bosses ordered the strikers to get off the railroad tracks the latter took pos session of an embankment near by from which they began to jeer the men who were at work. The strikers say they intend to make the section men here strike and then they will move along the railroad, going east, and will do their best to call out all the railroad laborers between Say brook and Boston.
 Some of the strikers crossed the Connecticut river at Lyme and got the 100 laborers on the east side of the approach to the new railroad bridge to quit work. In the mean time an express train had stopped at the Saybrook Junction and landed a large number of railroad officers. The situation quickly grew worse as the officers attempted to drive the strikers away. Several of the latter showed guns, and they stood their ground for quite while without any shots being fired. The assistant yard master, Timothy Londregan, who had been patroling the track at some distance from the bridge, was held up and threatened by several strikers. He drew a revolver and said he would shoot anyone who stood in his way, and the strikers let him go. Word was sent to Sheriff Davis at Middletown asking for as sistance and word came back that the sheriff would at once go to the scene with his deputies and twenty five other men, All the strikers who came from Hartford are Italians and few of them speak English. They appeared to be in an ugly mood. The workmen are being guarded by the railroad officers.
 About II o'clock the gang of new strikers from the Lyme side of the bridge reached here and found sev- enty railroad officers in waiting. An order was issued to arrest every striker found trespassing on rail- road property and the officers started out to do this. The strikers broke up into small knots and took to the fields where they could not be reached. A request was sent to Sheriff Sidney A. Brown of New Lon don county to furnish protection to the men at work between New Lon don and Lyme. and section bosses were told to take the men who were working at different points between New London and New Haven and put them under cover so they could not be reached by delegations of strikers. The men at Saybrook June tion who had remained at work were then put into cars and sent over to New London under care of several officers. Sheriff Davis of Middle town notified the railroad officers at Saybrook Junction that he would look over the situation and deter mine If it is necessary to swear in deputies to preserve the peace.

Quits Church for Baseball.

Marion, O.. May 7.-Mayor Louis Scherff today resigned as one of the trus- tees of Epworth M. F. church. His re- signation Is due to the fact that Frank Zuck, a member of the church, at the behest of the ministerial association filed affdavits against ten players of the Ma rion, O., team, who played ball Sunday. The mayor claims he has been bull ragged long enough by the church ele- ment which takes the credit for electing him on a reform ticket.
 'I shall remain a Methodist, but I do not wish to serve on the official board in view of the present situation," said May or Scherff today.
