SLAUGHTER ON
SANTA FE ROAD
Freight Crashes Into a Work
Train at T0peka-Seven-
teen Men Killed.

Topeka, Kan, oct. S.-Seventeen peo-
pie We're killed, ten of them Mexican Ia
borers, and ten severely injured in a
collision between d Santa Fe construc-
ton train and the regular freight on
the AtchisOn branch of the Santa Fe
shortly after the noon hour today. The
the work train, which was loaded with
IabOrers, most of them MeXicans, was
backing into Topeka for dinner.
The injured are all Mexicans and are
at the Santa Fe hospital.
The work train was backing down
from north of Meriden with fifty Mex
leans riding on the flat cars. As the
train was rounding a curve the north
bound freight crashed into it.
Engineer Edward Ash and Fireman
Joseph Corey, who were in charge Of the
engine on the freight train, jumped as
soon as the air brakes could be set. The
MeXicans were not aware of the danger
until the enginemen and tTainmen
jumped.
The engine on the freight crashed over
the four fiat cars comprising the work
train, and fifteen Mexicans, besides sew
eral Americans, who were in charge of
the gang, were pinned down, and it was
several hours before they were extri-
Gated.
1t is supposed the wreck was caused
by disregard of orders by the crew of
the work train.

UNCLE SAM OWNS
THE AEROPL LANE
Wilbur Wright and Two Army
Officers Make Several Sue
CeSSfuI Flights.

College Park, Nd, Oct S.-FOT the first
time in the history of America an aero
plane owned by the United States govern
ment scared in the air today. Guided by
Wilbur Wright, it flew five times in the
dedication to aviation of the government s
tract of land here.
With almost ideal conditions for spec
tatOrs. and a breeze blowing scarcely at
the rate of a mile an hour. Mr.. Wright
began the flight to teach the officers
of the signal corps how TO handle the
machine. Off the starting rail at 1886,
he cirCled the field for three minutes, p
feet above the ground.
Again at 400 Mr. Wright was off for
another flight. This time he was in the
air five minutes. At 4;51 O'Clock he scared
away to return after about five minutes.
Each time he had kept to the reserva-
ton grounds. Then Lieutenant Lahm took
his place in the extra seat.
At 5:l5 the two rose probably $50 feet.
They went a mile and a half toward
Washington. In about five minutes after
they had left they landed within twenty
feet of the starting rail.
In another short flight Mr.. Wright took
Lieutenant HUMPHREYS with him. Flights
probably will be made tomorrow and on
days following until the officers are ia
miliar with the new art.

QUESTION FOR PRESIDENT
Negroes Demand Seats at the Ban
quet Table When Pasadena En-
tertains Mr.. Taft.

Pasadena, Cal, Oct. S-Whether there
shall be representatives Of the negro race
at the Taft banquet here Oct. u is the
question that the President or some men,
Der of his party for him will be called
upon to decide tomorrow.
The committee representing the Afro
American league. which yields some in
fUence in this section. called today upon
the twenty-five citizens who have charge
of the arrangements for entertaining the
President and demanded that two negroes
be given places at the banquet.
Z. TOff, chairman of the general ar
engagements committee. admitted tonight
that the demand for negro representation
at the banquet had been made and re
ferred to the executive committee which
will first ascertain what Mr.. Taft thinks
about ii.
This was not the only trouble the COM
mittee confronted today. 1t was learned
that two banquet tickets had been issued
to a man who proclaimed that he had
received a message from Almighty God
to sit with Taft and teach him how to
run the government" The man was
George Sandman, a Well-knoWn resident
who is said to be a victim of recurrent in
sanity. The two tickets sold to Sandi-
man were revoked.

FREIGHT
RATES BOOSTED
TranSCOntinentaI Railroads File
Tariffs With Commerce
Commission.

Washington. Oct 8.-A heavy and
general advance in the freight rates on
lemons has been made by the trans
continental railroads. Shippers of the
American product are concerned Sc
riously by the advance, which, accord
ing to the tariffs filed with the inter
state commerce commission, viii become
effective on Nov. 10 next.
The tariffs were filed with the COM
mission by the transcOntinental freight
bureau, which controls the tTansCOnti-
mental lines. and increase the present
rate Is cents hundred pounds
Under the present freight arrange
ment, rates on lemons from California
points to eastern points are 10 cents a
hundred pounds less than the rates on
oranges, grape fruit, lines and other
citrus fruits.
The present freight rate on lemons
was made by the transcontinental car
riers because Of a disposition on the
part of the Pacific coast fruit growers
to relinquish the lemons market. They
felt that in competition with lemons
from European and West Indian points
they could not compete successfully
with the foreign growers at the freight
rates then prevailing.
While the tariffs now filed directly af-
feet the rates on lemons from Pacific
coast points to North Dakota. South
Dakota and Minnesota, il is the an
nOunced intention of the transconti-
mental carriers to make a similar ad-
vance to all points east TO which freight
rates of lemons are quoted and filed
with the commission

ASK EVEN BREAK
WITH THE EAST
Argument of Pacific Coast
Shippers Before Commerce
Commission.

Seattle, Oct. s.-Pacific coast shippers
before the interstate commerce commits
sion today began their fight for distribu-
tive railroad rates that will let them ex-
tend their market eastward. They asked
for reductions sufficient to enable them
to meet ST. Paul and Kansas City half
way.
The head of the largest wholesale gro
Gerry and hardware store in Seattle testi-
fled that his firm could get no further
east than northern Idaho rarely making
a shipment to Montana. He said that ne
did not complain of any advantage the
Spokane or Walla Walla jobber had by
reason of location; 1t was the eastern
shipper with whom he asked to be put
on an equal footing. The Portland mer-
chants case will be heard next week
and the San Francisco shippers Oct IS
In his opening statement Joseph N
Teal of Portland Ore. attorney for the
compliments, asserted that the whole fu-
ture of the Pacific coast was involved in
these cases. The question at issue he
said, was whether the Pacific coast should
become a manufacturing district. or should
be tied up to the east, which not only
owned great factories but also controlled
the transportation facilities

forming him that a protest had been
lodged against his being declared the win
ner Of the Bennett trophy on the ground
that he had made a landing with the
America II before he finally came down
in the forest of GutOva.
This protest said Mr.. Mix, probably
is founded on an incident that happened
at some place, the name of which is I'M
known to me. about thirty miles north
west Of Prague.
Several persons caught hold Of the
ropes, Notwithstanding my protest, and
despite my endeavors to make them let
go, and dragged the balloon to earth. The
basket touched the ground and rested
there probably between five and seven
minutes, until / was able to persuade the
people to let go and had written a dis
patch. Instead Of being of advantage to
me, 1t cost three bags of ballast before l
resumed the voyage"
Mr., Mix said he desired to have the
committee make the fullest investigation
of the incident. He said he was treated
with the greatest courtesy by the police
of OstrOlenkO, but was detained by them
for twenty-fouT hours, when his release
was ordered by telegraph from St Pet
ersburg OF Warsaw.
