Details of Runaway Train
Show it to be One Of Most
Lucky in History.
SEVEN MEN ABOARD
AND NO LIVES LOST
Providence Seemed TO Be With Men
and Animals for of Cars Smashed
Not One in Which They Were Rid
Ing Was Included-Two Save Lives
by Leaping from Train-Men Who
Remained With Train Entirely
Unaware of Runaway.

As the details of yesterdays re-
markable. freight train wreck on the
mountain come in, it becomes more
and more evident that the wreck was
one of the most freakish and lucky
in the history of transportation in
the west. With seven men scattered
at different points on the train, with
six cars of livestock and with nearly
every other car in the train smashed
to kindling wood and the only life
lost, that of a COW. railroadmen will
never cease wondering at the marvel
Four of the seven men in the
wreck were in a constructor car
near the middle of the train. They
did not know they were in a wreck
until their car struck She bank and
rolled over on its side without doing
any more damage than to be set
on fire by an oil can which rolled
across the floor and struck the car.
The car just behind them was
smashed to kindling wood.
Leap Saves Life.
The latter was paint car and
when the train started from Kane
la it was occupied by the company's
painter. Seeing that the train was
rUuusr away without an engine he
made a flying leap before the runa-
way had proceeded more than half q
mile. He escaped with moth ng more
serious than few bruises. though
he rolled for a considerable distance
through the snow. Had he stayed
with the car, instant death would
have been his portion.
one other man missed the wild
ride, that man being the owner of
some of the stock which made up a
part of the trains load. Surprised at
the ease and rap dity with which the
train started off he became suspicious
ana yelled at a surprised looking
Greek who stood beside the track and
asked If there was an engine fasten-
ed to the, train. As the Greek shook
his head in a puzzled sort of way n
lost no time in leapng Fortunately,
he. too. landed in a snowbanll and
escaped without injury.
Curse Engineer for Recklessness.
Two other stockmen were in the
caboose and they stayed with the
ira throughout the wild ride and
Ike the four other men, they did not
know they We're N Il runaway, but.
Ike the others were cursing the en-
gneer for being so reckless.
The seventh man is said to have
heen a tramp who was well up near
the front OF the train Cars on all
sides of his went nto the canyon or
were smashed to pieces How he es-
capped unscathed is one of the mir
aces which viii always remain un-
cxBrsined.
Passengers Narrow ESCAPE.
The wild dash down the mountain
started from the summit as was
stated yesterday. Passenger train
No 10 met the FIRE ght at that point
ANA by that narrow margin, it missed
destruction. Had they been sched-
ulr3 to meet at Meacham the worst
wreck and greatest loss OF lfe in the
history of the road would undoubted-
ly have occurred.
Just after the passenger passed, the
engine was detached to coal and the
emf re crew of the train was either

Washington, Dec. 21.-In enumerat-
ing certain amendments to existing
law which It deems desirable, the In
terstate commerce commission in It's
annual report made public today plac-
es foremost the urgent need OF
physical Valuation of the interstate
railways OF the country. In this con-
nection the report says that II rates
established by the commission are to
be successfully defended when at
tackled by the carriers. some means
must be furnished by which, within
reasonable limit a value can be es-
tablished which shall be binding up
on the courts and the commission.
The report also urges that some meth
cd be provided by which railroads
can be prevented from advancing
their rates or changing their regu-
lations and practices to the disad-
vantage of the shipper pending an
investigation into the reasonableness
of the proposed changes.
The need of control over railway
capitalization Is again urged upon the
attention of congress as a subject con-
stantly increasing in importance.
Referring to the adoption by the
national association Of railway COM
missioners of uniform code of car
demurrage rules, the report says that
Il Is estimated that the general en-
forcement Of these rules will be equiv
alent to the addition Of 100000 cars
TO the countrss available car supply
ana that. incidentally, many unlawful
advantages which powerful shippers
have been able to secure through
leased car service rules will be reme-

Walla Walla, Dec. 21.-By a sweep
ing majority of 622, the voters of
Walla Walla yesterday ruled that a
restricted city was more to be desired
than prohibition community, and the
dry agitators were put in the down
and OUT class by the veritable ava
lanche Of wet" ballots that came
sweeping down upon them shortly
after the polls were closed at Z o'clock
last night. All day yesterday the two
factions worked like demons to get
every qualified elector to the polls
and when the final count was made it
was found that 2649 voters expressed
their preference. The total registra-
ton for the special election was 1926.
and the large vote was surprising to
many. even u those who were in close
touch with the situation.
But one precinct out OF the eight
was carried by the dries" and that
had been conceded by the "wets, 3"
with "A larger majority than was re-
corded, Clarke precinct, with a ma
jority of 67, was captured by the
dry people, the vote having been

posed. Whiman p1esinct, which bad

went wet by a vote Of 27S to 257.
and the other six rolled up substan-
tial majorities.
No Disorder at Polls.
Although interest in the election
was intensce throughout the day, as it
had been for the past two weeks, lit
tie or no disorder marked the event.
and the police were not called upon
80 quell any disturbances. Every
member of the two factions was in
the fight to win the victory, but even
though heated arguments were in or
der all day yesterday, the debaters
kept their heals and the election
passed off much- more calmly than
had been expected. Chief Davis re-
fused To swear special officers into
service for the occasion, saying the
city was deeply enough in debt and
that those who were indlscreet
enought to indulge in pugalistic en-
counters might take the consequences.
His position was Wei taken, for later
developments proved that, although
Walla Walla voters We're vitary inter-
osted they did not propose to dis
grace the city by unseemly conduct at
the polls.

over S3OU,uuO Ill stHcS,
The sum Of s3O4.2S3 has been coll
lectcd during the year in fines Tor
criminal violation OF the law by car
rlers and shippers. These fines fol-
lowed indictments against carriers for
rcbating in various forms from pun
lishcd rates and for transporting prop
erty without having traffics on file.
and indictments against shippers for
regular rebates and for mis-billing
shipments of property and so secur-
ing lower rates. The only Indictment
against any prominent railroad offici-
al during the year are two against
the president of the Louisville, Hen
dcrson and St Louis railway. charg-
ing him with giving rebates when he
was general freight and passenger
agent Of his road. II is believed that
violations Of the law are decreasing
in number, but there seems to he no
decrease in the more insidious forms
of rebatlng resulting from arrange
ments. legal in every respect except
I'm the result produced.
Carriers Lease to shippers.

hand" the report says. CONCERNING
the leasing of property by carriers 10
shippers for nominal rental, with
further agreement that all shipments
made hy the lessoes shall be routed
over the lines cf the lessons. The
ownership of shipping corporations
10y carrying corporations, having been
held by the supreme court not to be
in violation Of the commodities clause,
suu continues and gives rise to many
determinations It becomes increas-
mely evident that complete freedom
from discrimination can be secured
only by a cvomplete separation of the
business of transportation from all
other business.
Laws Circumvcntcd.
"The evil most difficult 60 detect
and prove today are those arising
from the identification OF owner
shin of carriers and shippers and
those arising from the pretense that
services performed by shippers for
themselves are n reality services for
the carriers to be paid for by the
latter. The so-called elevation al
lowance on gram Is a fair example
OF the arrangements by which serv-
ices performed by shippers for them
selves are pretended to be services
for the carriers and paid for as such.
The elevation allowances are simply
TO make a rate upon shipments of
grain unloaded into elevators lower
than is open to shipments unloaded
in any other way"
Recommendation is made for ad-
ditional legislation to require the
railroads to supply such safety ap-
pllances as steps, ladders, roof hand
