Eleven Killed and Score
Injured in Louisiana.
Fire Consumes Debris. ..Sev-
era| Die From Injuries.
Eleven Killed In Wreck In Wyoming
...Three Badly Injured.

New Orleans. Nov lit was a
heavy price in human life that paid for
the error of railroad trainmen today
when a Great Northern express crash
ed into the rear of a New Orleans &
Northeastern local train at Little
Woods station. fishing and hunting
camp on Lake Pontchartrain. IL miles
from New Orleans. Eleven dead and
many more injured. some of them ia
tally. are the record of the record Of
the wreck which was attended by un-
usually gruesome scenes in the fOggy
SwampS on the lake shore. To add to
the horror of the situation. the wreck
caught fire and only the heroic work
of the surviving passengers prevented
the cremation of those pinned in the
debris.
Bctweer Slidell and New Orleans the
Great Northern trains run over tho
tracks of the New Orleans & North
eastern Railroad. This morning the
Northeastern train was late and the
difference of 20 minutes between the
running of the trains was considerably
reduced.
When Engineer Blackmann of the
Great Northern train took the North
eastern tracks at Slidell he was given
the usual right Of way signal. he says,
and proceeded to move his train to-
ward New Orleans at As miles an hour.
AS Little Woods was approached the
Northeastern local suddenly loomed
up through the fog. Engineer Black
mann applied the brakes and remained
at the throttle while the ponderous To-
comotive ploughed part way through
the train ahead, leaving behind it q
trail of corpses and injured passen-
gers.
No one on the Great Northern EX-
press was seriously hurt, but those
aboard the Northeastern local were
thrown right and left or crushed by
the express locomotive as it tore
through the two rear coaches of the To-
cal. AS Little Woods has no telegraph
station, serious delay was experienced
in getting a message to New Orleans

Believed to be Implicated
In Denver Extortion Case.
Relatives Of Mrs. Read Will
Fight Hard For Her Liberty.
Former Husband Of Mrs. Phipps
Takes Up Fight For Her.

Denver, Col, Nov. 11.-That Mrs. AL
len T. Read. the Denver woman, who
on Monday last attempted to extort
$4,000 from Mrs. Genevieve Chanler
Phipps, the wealthy society leader,
threatening destruction by dynamite
to her and to her child. Helen, unless
she complied with the demand. will
have the support of her husband and
friends in this city should it become
necessary to defend her act in the
criminal courts is evident from the ar
rangements already under way to trace
through detective agencies her wan
derings since leaving Buffalo Park.
Col, three weeks ago to attend the fu-
neral of her father at Pittsfield, Mass.
That she will not be allowed to so
free without being proven that she act
ed from an insane impulse at a time
when she was entirely unaccountable
to herself or to others. is just as evil
dent from steps taken by Mrs. Phipps'
divorced husband. Lawrence c.
Phipps, the Pittsburg millionaire, who
late last night, had his attorney, Ger
aid Hughes, request the police author
tiles to re-arrest Mrs. Read and hold
her pending further investigation of
the attempt at blackmail. In an inter
view published this morning, Mrs.
Phpps is credited with saying she
will prosecute Mrs. Read and that she
believed formal proceedings had al
ready been begun.
When Chief of Police Armstrong
questioned Mrs. Read after her arrest
Monday, she referred several times to
a woman she called Madame Leroy.
she said that she was to meet Madame
Leroy at the Union depot at a certain
hour that day and in order to investi-
gate this assertion the chief detailed
detectives to escort her to the station
but no such person appeared. The
fact that so much of Mrs. Reads story
has been found to be true has con-
vinced the police that there must have
been another woman in the affair. who
gave to Mrs. Read the name of Ma
dame Leroy. 1t is believed by Mrs.
Reads friends and the police do not
deny it as a possibility, that Mrs. Read
met some woman while returning West,
perhaps professional blackmailer,
who took advantage of her weak
ened condition. aggravated by the use
of drugs to alleviate bodily pain, and
prevailed upon her to enter into plot
to hlackmail Mrs. Phipps. Mrs. Read
during a rambling talk mentioned that
she and Madame Leroy had arranged
to go to Europe together.

SEC. ROOT PROBABLE
SUCCESSOR OF PLATT.
Woodruff Willing to Accept Seat But
May Have to Wait and Later Take
Seat Now Occupied by Depew.

Mr. Sherman net at the New Willard
hotel and there the senatorship was
considered. 1t is said that Mr.. Ward
and Mr.. Sherman believe that Mr..
Woodruff should not at this time be a
field to Secretary Root. 1t is understood
further that Mr.. Woodruff did not take
kindly to the suggestions in the form
in which they We're offered and that
before departing for New York ut 4
2. NJ, he left u very decided impress
sion that the matter required further
consideration on his part.
Persons well informed concerning
New York politics assert tonight that
Mr.. Woodruff has within his power the
making of q very embarrassing sena-
torial situation.
Thus far, there has been no charge
made Of White House dictation against
the movement to make Mr.. Root the
successor of Senator Platt, but it is
pointed out that this might easily be
made an issue if contest over the SEN
atorship should be precipitated.
New York politicians who favor the
election of Mr.. Root are endeavoring
to induce Mr.. Woodruff to retain the
state Craftsmanship and become a
candidate later for the seat in the
Senate now occupied by Senator De-
pew.
Chairman Hitchcock took no part in
the Senatorship discussion while the
New York visitors were present but
he went to the White House at 8
o'clock tonight and saw President
Roosevelt. When he left he would not
admit that the New York senatorship
had been discussed but he said he had
a number of matters which he desired
to take up with President Roosevelt
and it was for this purpose that the
President had asked him to return
tonight. The subjects considered were
not made public.

has had ambitions to become senator
for several years, has not assentcd to

rived in Washington early in the day
from Hot Springs, where he visited

MILL FOR GRANITE

Edward Parr of Granite was over Tues

that section. He reported having hauled
5000 feet of lumber from Modoc siding
to Rawhide Junction to be used in the
construction of what is to oe known as
the Granite mill The balance of the
lumber is at the siding and will be hauled
to the Junction at once The mill will
be ten-stamp modern one. Salt Lake
City capitalists will build 30-stamp
mill near Rawhide Junction, construc-
ton to be commenced in July. Schurz
is to have a l00-ton mill There is
about 100, 600 feet of lumber at Modoc
now all for use at Rawhide Junction.
Mill men evidently have faith in Raw
hide, Bovard, Granite and Mountain

but mines are being developed. The
growth is slow, but substantial.
