QUEBEC
BRIDGE
FELL IN ST. LAWRENCE
RIVER, SATURDAY.
NEARLY 80 MEN WERE CARRIED
DOWN TO A WATERY
GRAVE.

Quebec-The Quebec bridge fell in
to the st. Lawrence river. Three
score bridge workers are still held in
the meshwork of debris at the bottom
of the river. At roll call Saturday aft
ernoon 70 men failed to answer to their
names and were not among the in
jured at the hospital. Fifteen bodies
are at the mOrgue OF the total 70
dead or missing 16 are skilled Ameri-
can mechanics. Some bodies can be
seen below the surface tightly wedged
in the mass of steel.
The terrific height of the great steel
structure from $50 feet above the sur
face of the river crushed the bodies
of many of the workmen in a fright
full manner, and it is feared many will
never be found.
Many of the dead were Americans
brought here by the Phoenix Bridge
company of Phoenixville, Pa, which
had the contract for the ironwork on
the bridge.
Rowboats were sent out to examine
the superstructure showing above the
water near the shore, to ascertain if
any of the workmen were imprisoned
in the twisted ironwork. None were
found alive.
Just below the surface Of the water
two bodies We're seen, but it will be
impossible to reach them until the tide
goes out
Both the local and dominion authori.
ties have taken steps to investigate
the cause of the disaster and if posi-
bic to fix the responsibility.
Some of the wOrkmen expressed the
belief that the pier gave way under the
tremendous strain of the overhanging
work. NJ. P. Davis of Ottawa, the con-
tractor who built the piers, made a
hasty examination last night, however,
and reported them to be in good con-
dition, although the steel superstruc-
ture had fallen upon them.
A locomotive and several freight
cars loaded with steel Orders were
moving out on the bridge just before
the structure collapsed. Engineer Jess
went into the river with his engine,
but was picked up 300 feet below the
bridge. Fireman Davis persisted.
Engineer Jess was removed to Lewis
Hospital, were he rapidly recovered
from the effects of his plunge ipth tae
river.
According to his story, the steel
work overhanging the river was the
first to show signs of weakness. At
the first signs of danger Jess shut off
the steam, but his locomotive con-
tinued to move toward the end of the
bridge which had begun to toter, and
moment later the engine went into
the river.

REBATE
CHARGES
CASES AGAINST RAIL
ROADS DISCONTINUED
THE IMMUNITY BATH WILL BE
DISSIPATION OF ALL EVIL
DENCE GATHERED.

1t is said in federal court circles of
Chicago that the Chicago & Alton will
receive the expected immunity
bath" According to this information
the investigation of rebate charges in
connection with the Standard Oil case
will be dropped.
In spite of the demand of Judge
Lands for a grand jury inquiry into
the acts of the Alton. it is believed
that the grand jury will be discharged
without making the investigation.
The full effect Of the immunity
bath will be the dissipation of all
the evidence which the department of
justice has been gathering against the
principal railroads of the west and
south which are charged with having
given rebates to the Standard Oil
company.
Judge lands judicial Indignation.
and his action in causing a special
grand jury to be impaneled to in
vestigate the entire matter, spread
CONSERVATION among the railway of
f1cials.
The courts plainly indicated deter
mlnatlon to send some of the mag
mates to jail for criminal conspiracy
created CONSERVATION among the rail
road men,
Judge Lands action seemingly
placed in danger of Imprisonment at
least so railroad men of all degrees
from freight clerks to president. The
ruling Of the department of justice has
treasured the objects of threatened
grand jury inquisition, and traffic
matters will proceed with undisturbed
tranquility after the decision is an
nOunced.
Although it is certain the Alton and
It's officials will get an Immunity
BATH and almost equally certain that
the other roads and st. Louis bridge
companies will receive the forgive
ness of the government for acts in
connection with the Standard Oil re
bates, there is still a slight fear that
adverse public criticism may cause
the government to select one more
victim rather than entirely wipe out
the result of its agents work.
In the collection of data the gov
eminent employed 100 men, includ-
ing a number of high class lawyers
and expert accountants.
The estimated cost Of gathering the
evidence which is to be rendered
valueless, except as against the
standard Oil company, is $250,OOO,
The appropriation for this purpose
was 100000 Despite the immunity
grant to the railroads, shippers
agents why may have entered into
conspiracy to do an unlayful act"
can be prosecuted and sent to prison
