Norfolk was the opening faverite for

Preston made his usual clean break on

ENTIRE TRAIN LEAVES RAILS.
Passengers Have Narrow Escape in
y Wreck Near Baltimore.

BALTIMORE July 25-About 1870
yesterday morning the northbound passen-
ger train of the Green Spring branch of the
the curve at Davis Hole, about three-quar-
ters Of mile south Of Rockland. The rear
passenger coach plunged across both tracks,
buried the forward platform in the dirt
bank and remained standing on edge ready
to turn turtle. A score of passengers who
were in the coach were badly shaken up,
but beyond few bruises only one-a wom-
an-seemed to be injured to any extent.
The wreck tore up the tracks for several
hundred yards, and the road was not open
for traffic until about pm.
The train was in charge Of Engineer
Kraemer and Conductor Pierce. The for
mer said he believed the wreck was due to
the buckling Of the rails. He also said he
was not proceeding at q rapid rate when
the accident occurred.
The train consisted Of a locomotive, a
baggage and a passenger car, all of which
became detached the other section contin-
ued for more than 100 yards.
When the locomotive was stopped It was
found that 1t had been travelling for some
distance on its pony wheels. Immediately
after the accident the entire train crew
rushed back to the detached car and care
fully helped the passengers to safety In
the coach were several mothers with little
ones in their arms and the screams of the
babes could be heard distinctly. There was
no semblance of a panic, the passengers re-.
manning perfectly cool. All hands were
thrown to one side of the car by the crash.

AMERICAN ROADS MOST DEADLY.
Prussian officials Statement in a Com
parative Table of Statistics,

BERLIN. July 25-Herr Cutlery, an Off
cial Of the archive bureau Of the PrussiaI
railway administration has prepared
comparative table of statistics Of those
killed and injured by railways in various
countries He finds that both absolutely
and relatively the railroads in the United
States are the most deadly.
The United States has more mileage thar
all Europe, but even taking that into con-
sideration, the United States holds pre-
eminence in proportional figures.
Out of every thousand railway employees
the ratio of the number injured each year
Is follows:
United States, 43.5; Switzerland 25.3
England, 11.S: Belgium. IL: Germany, pa
Out of every 10000 employees the relative
figures of killed are:
United States, pol; England, 1913;
Switzerland. So; Russia, 7S; British India
67; Belgium, Al.
Herr Gillery finds that in a single year
the fiscal year of 1923. rs 800 persons were
injured in the United States, of whom 90 OO(
We're employees, and $500 were killed OF
whom $500 We're employees.
In the matter of travellers injured France
holds the lowest record In the world United
States shows proportionate 10 times as
many injured as Russia, - times as many
as Italy, and England, 20; Belgium, 8:
Switzerland, 4. and Germany. 2.

Mr.. Vorys has refused up to this time to
make any reply to the rumors in the Fora
ker organs to the effect that he was seeking

Mr.. vorys claims to be confident that a
Taft resolution will be offered at the meet
ing next week. and that 1t will be adopted.
He does not claim that 1t will be adopted
unanimously, but he would not be sur
prsed If it would. He laughs at the reports
that the majority of the state central COM
mittee has been won back by the two SEN
ators
The Foraker lieutenants here claim that
there will be thirteen out Of the twenty-one
members of the committee who will refuse
to vote for the plain Taft resolution. No
attempt Is made to designate who these
with great confidence. They say these
members will refuse to vote for such reso-
luton for policy sake. They believe that
to adopt resolution indorsing Secretary
Taft without at the same time adopting
one indorsing Senator Foraker would be
to invite internal dissension that would
spell defeat for the party in the state next
year and lose for them the state legislature.

civil Jurisdiction in such cases, caused the
issuance Of this order, which directs the

NOT TO RETALIATE.
Railroads Will Not Raise Excursion
Rates to Meet New Law.

NEW YORK. July 25.-The policy Of
granting railroad excursion rates for spe-
cial OCCASIONS in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
will be continued. This was decided at a
meeting of representatives of the trunk
lines concerned yesterday. Recent legisla-
ton In the states mentioned fixed the maxi
mum passenger rate at 2 cents per mile
and it had been thought possible that the
railroads would retalate by making the
maximum also the minimum rate. and so
abandon the frequent fall excursions for
which a mileage of less than cents has
been charged in past years.
The whole matter was threshed out at a
conference in the Offices Of the Erie rail-
road.

Railway Abandons Politics.

The Boston and Maine railroad is not in
politics any longer. and has not been for
several years, although Its trails still lead
to the capitol from every corner of the
state, and the organization 1t perfected has
been running things on its own account
There is no live railway issue before the
people, except the usual demands for better
service, and the usual complaints of high
rates. The recent consolidation of the Bos-
ton and Maine and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford companies takes the
railway question still further out OF politics.
The head of the railway lobby who has
managed its interests with great ability and
energy for many years. has been retired,
and no successor has been appointed. This
looks as If the company did not intend to
take any further interest In political affairs
1t is admitted by the anti-corporation re-
formers that President futile and the other
officers Of the Boston and Maine company
are In no wise responsible for nine-tenths
of the legislation and other things for which
they have been blamed. The managers of
their lobby have been acting on their own
account. and have employed the railway or
ganization and used the railway funds to
promote their own and other interests But
they will not be able to do 30 any longer.
1t Is probable that under these new con-
dftions the republican party in New Hamp-
shire will be entirely reorganzed, but 1t
will be rather difficult for the ancient an
tagonists. the leaders Of the several fac
lions, to work together in harmony.

Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.

Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.
CONCORD, n. H, July 20, 1907.
According to the best authorities on po-
litical matters In New Hampshire every
thing is up in the air. There has been
a general breakup of factions in the re-
publican party: the railway lobby which
has ruled things long has dissolved and
gone out of business: and its leaders are
mostly sitting the fence watching for
some procession that they can join to go
by. Others have formed new and incon-
gruous relations and are trying to get a
good start for the next campaign So far
there is no band wagon, and 1t looks very
doubtful whether there will be one. Mr..
Moses, editor of the Concord Monitor, the
leading republican paper, is outspoken for
Mr.. Fairbanks. Senator Gallinger, who Is
undoubtedly the most influential man in
the state, is counted as a Fairbanks man.
Gen. Streeter the New Hampshire member
of the national republican committee, went
down to Boston to see Secretary Taft while
the latter was in this part OF the country
a few weeks ago, and had an interview
with him. but, so far as can be learned, he
got nothing but a few of those smiles for
which the Secretary Is famous. The news
papers have said great deal about the
interview, but Gen. Streeter has said very
little. |;
We are told that politics makes strange
bedfellows, and the truth of that old adage
is illustrated in this case. Winston
Churchill who is personal friend and
protege of the President, received a man
date" some time ago to secure New Hamp-
shire for Taft. and is going to do the best
he to obey orders, which puts himself
and Gen. Streeter in the same class, al
though until the present moment they
have been the bitterest of foes. Gen.
Streeter has been the head of the railroad
lobby for years, the general counsel of
the Boston and Maine company, and Is
blamed for all the vicious legislation that
has been enacted here while Churchill is an
ambitious young reformer and went into
politics especially to fight Streeter and
his methods. But circumstances alter cases.
Streeter is no longer general counsel OF the
Boston and Maine railroad, and is seeking
a new alliance.
Ex-senator Chandler, who was a power
In the state 30 long, is supposed to be for
Fairbanks, although he is not doing any
thing in politics just now. He is devoting
his entire time to the suit which he brought
in behalf of Mrs. Eddys heirs to place her
estate in the hands of a receiver.
There are no democrats worth speaking
of in New Hampshire.
