WILL TROOPS STAYs
NEVADA sENATORs URGES BITTEN.
 TION OF GOLDFIELD SOLDIERS.
NewIands Calls On Taft Asking For Revocation fef Former Order-- Y May Communicable With
 Roosevelt at Pine Knot.

Washington, Dec. 27--Senator New lands of Nevada is endeavoring to pre- vent withdrawal of the government troops from Goldfield until some other means of protection Is had. Today he called upon Secretary Taft at the War Department and strongly urged that the execution of the order issued by the Secretary of the withdrawal of the troops next Monday be suspended until he has had an opportunity to eommuni- cate with Governor Sparks and en- deavor to finduce him to call the Nevada Legislature together.
 < Secretary Taft has been advising with Secretary Root oni this subject and 1t is probable that the President will be communicated with at Pine Knot. There Is every disposition to refrain from breaking In upon his pr.vacy at this time and the only ex- cuse for doing so Is found in the fact that unless the original order is nodi- fled. the troops must leave Goldfield next Monday morning and before the President returns to Washington. Ad- ministration officials feel that the present situation at GoIdfield cannot be continued in view of the doubt that exists in the constitutional and legal right of the executive to employ any part of the regular army in Nevada under present conditions. Governor Sparks attention has been repeatedly called to the fact that this doubt might be removed by the simple device of calling together the state legtsla- ture when the body could either give it's warrant for the use of Federal troops or provide legislation for fais- ing a state force of some kind, either militia or police sufficient to insure the maintenance of peace and the ob- servance of law fin Goldfield
 It is believed that Senator Newlands appeal today Is an indication of the willingness of the Governor to recall his refusal to convene the Legislature in session and If this belief isl well founded the government troops would probably be retained at Goldfield until some other arrangements can be made
 Following the receipt of Senator Newland's protest. Secretary of War Taft tonight communicated with Presi- dent Roosevelt at Pine Knot in regard to the withdrawal of the troops al Goldfield.
 The secretary, declined to state what course he had recommended in the matter nor would he say whether ht had heard from the President in turn Secretary Loeb said the White House was entirely without advices iron Pine Knot as the Goldfield question was being handled by the War Depart. ment. ..

Camden, N. J.. Dec. 27-Threc per-
 sons were killed and more than dog en were injured in rear-end colIis- ion on the elevated tracks of the Pensylvanis Railroad a short distance
 from the station in this city.
 The cars were so badly smashed that 1t will be several hours before the ex- act number of persons caught in the wreckage, will be known. Fire ad-
 ded to the difiiculties Of the work of rescue. The trains involved were the Express from Atlantic City and the Pemberton accommodation train. These trains are due in the Camden station at 8:21 a. m. There was a yer ythick fog when the accident occurred.
 The express train was made up of two baggage cars. one parlor car and three coaches and the accommodation train consisted of combination car and four coaches. Both trains, it Is
 said. were running cautiously as they approached the station. The engineer of the Pemberton train, because of the fog, did not sec the Atlantic City train,
 until he was close upon it. He jam too late. The trains came together
 with considerable force. The tender of the Pemberton train telescoped the
 Nrst car of its train, killing three per sons and injuring at least four. The rear ear of the Atlsntic City train was
 wrecked. The wreck immediately took fire fromithe hot coals of the locomotivs and the police and fire departments of Camden were called into service.
 The fact that the collision occurred on the elevated structure made the work of rescue difieuit. The rescuers could not reach the wreck from the street. but had to go to the wreck from the station at the fo of Market street.. All available help from the men in the station and the men in the krailroad yards and shops. were press
 ed into service and the injured were quickly taken from under the mass of wreckage and conveyed to the Cooper hospital and the West Jersey hospital The fire was extingu.shed before it reached any of the victims pinned under the wreckage.
