Train DeraiIed
In Flooded Plain
GREAT DAMAGE BY FLOODS IN
MISSOURI AND KANSAS.
TEN COACHES OVERTURNED
Two Women Of Boston Among Those
Injured in Santa Fe Road Accident
at Pomona, Kansas.

Kansas City. Mo, July 7.-Swollen
by unprecedented rains. Missouri val
ley rivers left their banks today and
caused damaging floods in many parts
of Missouri and Kansas.
Spectacular Accident.
The most spectacular accident due to
the flood was the derailing in q flood
ed plain OF the Atchison. Topeka and
Santa Fe passenger train bound from
Kansas City to Denver. The rails
spread near Pomona. Kan, and four
of the ten coaches rolled over in eigh-
teen feet of water.
Two Boston Women Injured.
Though the overturned day coaches
were empty, a telephone message to-
night reports that Miss Laura ST. Clair
of Boston suffered a wrenched back,
and Miss Mamie ST. Clair, a sister,
sustained bruises and cuts.
300 Msrooned Passengers.
The train, which had been detoured
from the main line over the Emperia
branch, was running along smoothly
through the water when 1t began to
sing on the undermined tracks. The
coaches sank so gradually that the
passengers and crew. were able to get
into the Pullman cars before the
coaches in front finally toppled over.
People from the surrounding country,
attracted by the cries of the 300 ma.
rooned passengers, Immediately en-
deavored to start rescue work. Rats
were hastily constructed, and the few
boats available were pushed out, but
by this time tht current was so NsYift
around the train that only the most
venturesome we're able to reach the
people. 1t was after dark before a res
cue by means of series of boats tied
with ropes was effected. Boat trips
of from one to. two miles were made 10
the nearest farm houses free of the
flood, and the passengers all were
finally taken to safety. The passengers
probably win have to remain at the
farm houses until the surrounding
floods subside.
A telephone message from Pomona

old daughter of Mrs. Carrie Rose OF

the train derailment-

CONNECTICUT STATE
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Investigation by Special Legislative
Committee Begins.

Hartford, July THE investigation
OF the state board of education bv a
special legislative committee, compris-
ing Senator Peck and Representatives
Bush OF Orange and Fuller of Suffield.
commenced this afternoon, but so far
nothing of importance has developed
against the board. The Investigation
came as a result of the fact that the
board had not been as prompt in MAX
ing the annual reports as the law re-
quires and skipped one year in pub
fishing them.
The only accuser to appear before
the committee was c. Collard Adams
OF Cromwell, who made two charges
against Secretary Hines of the state
Doard OF education the first being that
Mr. Hlne had not replied to letters
from Mr. Adams asking for a hearing
on vote by the Cromwell town meet
ing that supervisor of schoolg he
appointed by the board. He went
e!aborately into the affairs of the
cromwell. school board and al1uded
70 his past political triumphs. fnferring
that number of the past Office hold
ers In Cromwell ought to have been at
Wethersfield.
He further accused the board of ed
ucatlon OF ignoring section 113 of the
statutes which deals with the making
OF reports by town authorities to the
state board.
Secretary Hine took the stand and
submitted to the committee a mass Of
correspondence, which he had had with
other residents of Cromwell, which he
stated We're in many cases criticisms
OF Mr.. Adams, and which he did NOT
wish to make public. He explained
tnat 1t was local trouble in Cronn-
well and that, he had not replied to
Mr.. Adams, as he and the board had
nopea tne affair would blow over; that
the town meeting that Mr.. Adams AL
luded to was Illegal and he further
explained the system of getting re-
ports from the towns.
This closed the afternoons hearing
and the committee will meet again
next Tuesday.

That was the Understanding when the Senrte
Adjourned Last Evening. 81
YESTERDAY WAS A BUSY DAY
With the Aim of Passing the Measure Over to the House
Friday Morning Income Tax and Discussion of the
Customs Court the Feature of Wednesdays Session
-Four O'Clock the Hour for Vote.

Washington, July with general
understanding that final vote by the
senate on the tariff bill should be tax
en- by four o'clock tomorrow after
noon, the senate adjourned at seven
o'clock this evening in pleasant an
ticipation Of the conclusion soon Of
the special session of congress.
The arrangement for a vote tornor-
row was reached after much consulta-
tion and was only agreed upon as an
alternative for night session tonight.
Because of a possible effect on the to-
bacco schedule, there was no effort
to obtain formal assent in open SEN
ate to the proposition to fix q time for
a vote, but SO far as the canvassers
could ascertain tonight, there was no
indication of objection to a final vote
some time tomorrow.
Busy Days.
The day was a busy one and the
prospect is that tomorrow will be as
fully occupied as was the long ses-
sion today. 1t Is expected that the
bill az perfected will receive practical
ly all, though not all, of the republican
votes. while 1t is understood that prob
ably all of the democratic votes with
the exception OF the vote OF Senator
McEnery Of Louisiana, will be cast
against 1t.
When passed, the measure will be
hurried over to the house as expedi-
tiously as possible, and 1t is expected
that the house Will be in session Fri
day morning in the hope Of receiving
1t.
Income Tax Question:
The income tax question, including
the corporation tax provision and in
heritance taxes, received much atten-
tion in the senate today and the
straight income takers were afforded
opportunity upon which they have so
long insisted to get a direct vote in
favor Of the income tax as opposed to
the corporation tax.
Senator Bailey moved his income tax
amendment as a substitute for the
finance committees provision, and
without debate vote was taken up-
on it and 1t was rejected by ma
jority Of IS, the ballot stapding 2S to
AZ.
Customs Court Defended.
Next to the income tax the discus
sion Of the customs court was the big
feature OF the days work. The court
was attacked as in the interest of the
cities IN which 1t would sit, and the
government and as opposed to the
interests Of the Importers.
Senator Clapp intimated that the
court would owe its origin largely to
