CARS WENT INTO SWAMP.
Several Passengers Injured but None
Of Them Fatally.

Stafford, Conn, Jan. 2S. - BY the
ditching OF the combination mail and
express and the combination baggage
and smoking cars of local passenger
train No. / northbound, on the Cen
tral Vermont railroad at Jewetts
Crossing, about two miles below State
Line, several persons were more or
less injured, but none of them, it Is
believed, fatally. The accident was
due to a broken rail The two de-
rallied cars were sent down an en-
bankment into a swamp. The train
was going up grade slowly at the
time.
Among the most severely hurt were:
William Parks of Stafford, broken
arm and injuries about the head; Da-
vid Robertson of Stafford, two ribs
broken: Albert Bennett Of Spring
field, Mass. badly shaken up.
The conductor OF the train, Daniel
W. Parch, was badly shaken up and
hurt about the head.
Immediately after the accident the
locomotive was sent ahead to Monson,
Mass, for medical aid and in the
meantime word was also sent to rush
physicians from Stafford and Stafford
Springs. BY the time the engine had
arrived at this point, however, to
take the physicians to the scene OF
the wreck, a message was received
that the doctors would not be needed,
as all medical help necessary had ar
rived from Monson.

In the senate the message aroused
lively discussion in executive session
when 1t was taken up. The remarks
were not addressed to the message
so much as the policy of considering
1t in executive session, as well as the
policy of the president in connection
with the agreement. His course not
only in negotiating that instrument
but in procaiming it to the world, as
he did last July, was sharply critl-
cised.
II was declared that the agreement
makes changes which are equivalent
to legislation and it was pointed out
that all legislation affecting the tariff
must, under the constitution, originate
in the house of representatives
Stress was laid on the fact that
the president had not only negotiated

CAPITOL GRAFT TRIALS.
Alleged That Former State officials
and Contractors Robbed the State.


Harrisburg, Jan 2S.-Not since the
trial of United States Senator NJ. S.
Quay, ten years ago, for conspiracy to
wreck Philadelphia bank has there
been such interest in a trial as has
been manifested in the proceedings
begun yesterday against the men
charged with conspiracy to loot the
state treasury in connection with the
construction and furnishing of the big
state Capitol building.
Since the revelations Of nearly two
years ago in which some Of the fore
most men of the state were involved.
the imposing white marble structure
on Capitol Hill has been a point OF
big interest. EXcursionists have come
from all over the state to see the
bronze chandeliers alleged to be
loaded with tons of lead, the common
place furniture paid for at a fabu-
lous price per foot" and the paint
ing and frescoing for which there is
said to have been an overcharge of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A special panel of so is on hand
and Judge George F. Kunkel is pre-
siding. The first of the five conspir-
acy cases listed for trial involves pay
ments of s49,4l7 for sofas, tables and
clothes trees. The items were paid
for by the state at the rate OF $3.50
per foot
The common wealth alleges that
frauds to the amount of $l930S were
perpetrated. The defendants in these
five cases are Chief Contractor John
II. Sanderson and Architect Joseph
NJ. Hueston of Philadelphia; the for
mer auditor general, William P. Sny-
der of Spring City; the former state
treasurer, William l.. Mathues OF Me
dia. and James NJ. Shumaker OF Johns
town. former superintendent of
grounds and buildings. Neither Con
gressman II. Burd Cassel of the Penn
sylvania Construction company, nor
the remaining eight defendants in the
prosecution figure in these conspiracy
cases.

RAILROADS ASK DELAY
in enforcement Of Law as to Hours
Of Tower Employees.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Conferences
Of importance to all railroads of the
country were held by the operating
vice presidents of IL or Is great lines
OF American railways with President
Roosevelt, and subsequently with the
interstate commerce commission
The railroad officials presented to
ithe president, and subsequently to the
1nterstate commerce commission,
request that an amendment be recon-
mended to congress to the act ito
promote the safety of employees and
travellers upon railroads by limiting
the hours OF service of employees there
on"
The delegc tion reminded the presi-
dent that the act would become effec-
tive March next. 1t limits the
hours of duty of employees engaged in
transmitting train orders. The act
Is known as the nine-hour law. Ore
of its provisions is in effect that no
employe doing work pertaining TO
train movements shall be required to
be on duty more than nine hours in
any "a hour period in all towers, etc,
continuously operated night and day,
nor for longer period than thirteen
hours in all towers, etc, operated on
ly during the daytime, except in case
of emergency, when the employees may
be permitted to remain on duty for
four additional hours in twenty-four
hour period on not exceeding three
days in any week"
The delegation presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt arguments in support
of an extension of the time when the
law should go into effect. After some
informal discussion the president re-
ferred the committee TO the inter-
state commerce commission, that
body, under the law, apparently hav-
ing the necessary authority to accede
to the wishes OF the committee, II the
wishes were deemed proper.
Later the delegation conferred with
Chairman Knapp and Commissioners
Prouty and Cockrell, the only men,
bers of the body now in the city. No
definite proposal was submitted to the
commission, but the subject was dis
cussed in an informal way. The COM
mission took the matter under consid-
Grafton.

Gladys Vanderbilt a Countess.

In the famous Vanderbilt mansion
at Fifth acenue and Fifty-seventh
street, New York, at noon Monday Miss
Gladys, youngest daughter of Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, cousin of the
Duchess of Marlborough and one of
the richest of American heiresses, be-
came the bride of Count Laszlo Jeno
Maria Henrik Simon Szechenyi,
young Hungarian noble of ancient line
age and comfortable fortune.
Both the prominence of the brides
family in the social and financial life
of this country and the romantic cir
cumstances of her choice of a hus-
band, lend to the ceremony an unusual
degree of public interest. Last sum-
mer Miss Vanderbilt became of age
and under the provisions of her faith
er's will entered into possession of
her share of his great fortune, esti-
mated at from s12,000,O00 to $15,000,-
900.
Count Laszlo is a handsome man of
2S. slender and straight, his bearing
betraying his military training and de-
votion to out-of-door sports. He is
not even the head of his family, being
the youngest of the four sons of that
Count Emerch Szechenyi who was
for many years the Austro-Hungarian
ambassador at Berlin and who played
an important part in the negotiation
of the German-Austrian alliance and
was one of the limited circle of diplo-
mats who enjoyed the close friendship
of Bismarck.

Rockefeller Helps Unemployed.

To aid the large number of the un-
employed of Tarrytown who have ap-
pealed to him, j. d. Rockefeller sent
word from the South to the superin-
tendent of his estate at Pocantico to
lay off all foreigners and give employ
ment to needy residents. In addition
Mr.. Rockefeller has given permission
to those in want to go into his woods
and cut wood to warm their homes.

the laboring men. There were hun
dreds of Italians working on the Rock
sfeller estate and they were dismissed.
Several manufacturing plants in Tar
rytown are working half time and
others have shut down. Three hun
dred unemployed men were put to

Taft and Fort Graduates From Bench.

Secretary of War Taft was the
guest of honor and principal speak
er at the annual banquet of the
Yale Alumni association of Essex
county at East Orange, ]. Secretary
Taft did not touch upon politics unless
his illusions to the future of China
may be construed as such. He pre-
dicted for America great and grow
Ing influence in China. Referring in
a complimentary way to Governor
Fort, the secretary recalled that when
last the two met both were occupants
of the bench. At that time the con-
versation drifted to matters judiciary
and they discovered that they were
of one mind on the proposition that
man who had attained the position of
jurist was a fool to seek any other
place. The secretary added that Gov
enor Fort and himself, apparently,
had since agreed, though without say
ing so, that the bench was a good
place to find executives. This pro-
voked a general laugh.

Coal Mines May Stop Work.

Carbondale H., Jan. 2S.-At a con-
ference of the coal operators Of the
Southern and Southeastern Illinois in
this city it was decided, unless affairs
assume a more encouraging aspect
within the coming week, to suspend
temporarily operations at all their
mines. The demand for coal at this
season has usually taxed the coal
mines of this district to their capacity,
but this year they have been in oper-
alton little more than half time and
yet have an overproduction. The OPP
orators attribute present conditions to
the financial panic and to unusually
warm weather.

Fraud-No Fight With Hughes.
DR.. II. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry of the department OF ag-
ricuture, reported to the house com
mittee on agriculture the results OF
experiments conducted by the bureau
to determine the poisonous effect on
the human system Of such drugs as
boraX, benzoic acid, benZoate of soda,
sulphate of copper, sulphur dloxide,
formaldehyde and salycilic acid, when
contained in foodstuffs.
DR.. Wiley said that the expulsion
Of those and kindred drugs from the
body is performed almost entirely by
the kidneys, and that he is satisfied
the term of American life would be
heightened II the use of such drugs
in foods were wholly discontinued.
He said he was convinced that kidney
disease, so prevalent among Ameri-
cans, is partly the result of constant
introduction into the system of such
preservative substances as benzoate
of soda carried in foods.
Discussing sulphur diozide and its
injurious effects, DR.. Wiley told the
committee of a discovery just made
by him that salt solution is a perfect
substitute for sulphur in the whitening
and drying OF fruit He exhibited
samples of apples dried experimental
ly by the bureau. The sulphured fruit
was not so white or tender as the salt
cured
The committee was informed by Dr..
Wiley OF plans to teach the farmers
of the United States to make denat-
ured alcohol Next August he pro-
poses to erect a still at the bureau of
chemistry and operate it himself for
two or three months, producing de-
natured alcohol daily from damaged
fruit and vegetables such as can be
bought cheaply in the market. He
has invited the agricultural college of
each state and territory to send a rep
resentative to Washington to observe
his still and master the process of
distillation.
