Seattle, June S.-By decision
handed down by the state supreme
court in Olympia today, the people
of West Seattle have lost their fight
to prevent the establishment of sa-
looms on the Sound and bay shore
where crowds go for outings on Sun
days and at other times during the
week.
While West Seattle is especially
interested, both the saloon and anti
saloon interests throughout the whole
state are affected.
The state supreme court holds that
the referendum clause of the city
charter as regards saloon or other
licenses is void and that the issuing
and granting of licenses rests entirely
with the city council and regularly
designated licensing officers of the
city.

New York City. - An inbound
Philadelphia train on the Pennsylya-

crashed into an engine on a trestle
near the Jersey City terminal.
Five persons were killed and scores
injured, many of them seriously. Cars
were splintered into stacks of debris.
The smoking car was demolished
and the passengers were tossed about
and buried under the wreckage.
The collision was head-on. The pas
senger train was sweeping across the
trestle at Brunswick street and Rail-
road, half a mile from the line, when
an open switch sent it on the wrong
track.
The train swung over to the inner
outbound track when a light engine
and tender were but a few yards dis
tant, making good speed In the oppo-
site direction. Before either engineer
could make a NOV the crash came.
Tine boiler of the passenger engine
exploded at the moment of impact.
The forward part of the first car of
the train was blown to bits. No pas
senger in that car escaped injury of
some sort.
Within a short time after the col
lision every ambulance in Jersey City
had been rushed to the scene and pa

reinforced them. A force of wreck
ers was quickly at work searching the
debris for victims.

DR.. COOK IN Retirement

and his face is pale and haggard. He
said he hoped to be able to forward

will be permitted to see him until his

will not lecture, attend entertainments
or do anything else until he has pre-

HE declines at this time to say
anything further relative to the con
troversy. 1t has long since developed
to a stage where 1t is simply a Ease Of

Left Country After Crime.
The voluntary prisoner said that
after destroying the immediate eviden-
ces Of their crime he and his COM
panions escaped from the country, 60
ing abroad. One of his friends had
since died, he said.
Nine. Steinheil confronted LIE
Fevre, but said she was unable to re-
cognize him as one of the murderers
whom she had described. Judge De
Wales ordered that LIE Fevre be
placed under arrest and an ~investiga-
ton of his statement be made. At the
same time the court warned the jury
that this dramatic episode might prove
to be another attempt to battle justice.
The confession of the new witness
came after Nine. Steinheil had been
subjected to a grilling examination
for a day and a half. During all this
batting by the presiding Judge she
held her own, at times showing that
she was a most consummate actress.

knowing that that block is occupied
by another train.
The energy mentioned above is cleo
tricity, the current being obtained
from a battery near each post. The
rails of each block are made as If all
of n piece by connecting the joints
with wire. The extreme ends are then
connected and thus a circuit is formed
in which the current flows. When 40
train is in the block, the mechanism
operated by the current pulls the arm
down and holds it there. When a
train enters the block the wheels and
axles, combined with the rails, form a
shorter circuit, the energy that held
the arm down is withdrawn and up 1t
swings to a horizontal position.
Each block is independent Of all
other blocks. When the last wheels
of a train leave 1t, the current re-
sumes its flow and the signal arm
at the entrance is pulled down to the
proceed" position. But before the
hind wheels have finished doing this,
the front wheels of the locomotive
have entered the next block and
caused the arm there to rise to the
stop"
For a single track line the auto
matte arrangement is the same, but
there is a signal at each end of the
block. To prevent two trains on a
single track line entering a block at
the same time from opposite ends, be-
fore the entrance to a single track
block is reached the train sets a stop
signal at the far end of that block,
and as it enters it sets the entrance
signal to stop just as is done on
double track. Half a mile or more
before reaching the entrance signal of
each block the engineer comes to
what is called the distant" which
tells him how the other or ''home"
signal is set.
AS the automatic signal is con
structed, it cannot show "go ahead"
unless the entire combination Of rails,
wire, current. magnet, ETC., is work
ing perfectly. If a wire parts, a rail

REACHED THE POLE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
VOTES MEDAL TO COMMANDER
AND BARTLETT.
EXPERTS SEEK COOKS PROOF
Question Of Priority in Artic Discovery
Will Be Investigated Fully at
Earliest Possible Moment by
a subcommittee.

Washington, D. C.-Commander Rob-
ert E. Peary was voted a gold medal
by the National Geographic society
for having reached the north pole.
The board of managers of the
society at a meeting accepted unani-
mously the report of its subcommittee
Of scientists who he'd examined the
explorers records and proofs anG
found them to be corroborative of his
claim that he had reached the pole.
The society adopted a resolution
that the Question Of whether or not
any explorer reached the north pole
prior to 1909 shall be referred to a
subcommittee Of experts with authori-
ty to send for papers or make jour-
neys to inspect original records. This
indicates that the society proposes
as soon as possible to pass upon the
records OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
After Cooks Proofs.
OF far-reaching Importance Is the
society's decision to follow up vigor-
ously the question Of priority. The
scientists will spare no expense to be
convinced. DR.. Cook will be advised
Immediately of the society's action.
Present at the meeting of the board
Of managers were Is men, all promi-
nent in the scientific world. After the
report Of the subcommittee, there was
a debate lasting more than two hours,
but finally the board voted unani-
mously to accept the report of the
three experts, who believed without
question that Commander Peary
reached the north pole April 6, 1909.
In addition to awarding Commander
Peary a special gold medal, 1t was al
sc decided that a medal be given to
Capt. A. G. Bartlett, who was de-
clared to have displayed liable seaman
ship, ~pertinacious effort and able man
agement" in the Peary arctic expedi-
ton.
