DEATH FROM CARE
LESSNESS
NAVARRO OF EVERETT
CRUSHED TO DEATH BY DE-
RAILING OF TRAIN AS A RE-
SUIT OF JAP'S NEGLIGENCE.

Everett, May 4-Charles Navarro
engineer on the eastbound Great
Northern fast freight, who was killed
yesterday morning at 9 O'Clock, was
a victim of the negligence of japanese
section hands.
Through the carelessness of Japan
ese section hands working on the
roadbed a rail had been taken from
the sleepers and not replaced or sig
nal guarded. The train at slow speed
struck the open rail and five heavily
loaded cars piled up on the cliffside
of the road
Navarro was caught under cars
loaded with wheat and was killed in
stantly.
The general opinion of railroad
men concerned is that Navarro jump
ed when he saw the open rail and
was caught ere he could escape. The
engine remained on the embankment
and the fireman, who stayed with it,
escaped injury, as did all others of
the train crew
A delay to all traffic of about II
hours resulted from the wreck. Un-
dertaker Jerread left for the scene of
the accident last night and will bring
Engineer Navarre's body down this
morning.
Navarro was young man and has
a mother and brother in Everett, the
latter having played halfback on the
victorious Everett high school foot
ball team during the past season.

The contract calls for the compile
tion of the new city water system by
the middle of May, but on account
of unavoidable delays the plant will
not be in running order until the
middle of June, and to conserve the
city water was one of the problems
that confronted the city council last
night. The water supply for the past
month has been inadequate. The
river is too low to allow of the use
of the small pumping plant. Some
water is being furnished by the high
line but even with that the supply is
insufficient for the city. The coun-
Gil last night instructed the water
committee to confer with the city
water commissioner and establish
water sprinkling hours for the city,
to go into effect at once.
The regarding of Chelan avenue
makes it almost imperative that this
street be kept wet in order to keep
the dust down, but with the supply
of water on for the past week 1t
has been impossible to use any wa
ter for that purpose.
The members of the council feel
that by curtailing the hours of
sprinkling, that water may be had
for this DurDose.
The franchise of the Entiat Power
company was passed to the third
reading. 1t will come up for final
passage next Tuesday evening and
prior to that time the members of the
franchise committee with the city
engineers and city attorney will go
over this franchise very carefully.
The council also instructed the at
torney to prepare an ordinance pro-
viding for a sewer district on Wenat-
chez avenue from Kittitas to Second
street north. The city engineer re-
commended that 10-inch pipe would
be sufficient for this purpose

H0uN CASE

San Francisco, May 5.-With the
liberal use of the terms "scoundrel"

ces ]. Heney and A. A. Moore en-
gagged in violent alteration in to-
days session of the trial of Patrick

Moore objected to the form of the
question addressed to Witness An

Attorney O'Gara. II don't believe
the court should permit this witness
to put different Interpretation ON
his testimony under the guise Of an
explanation said Moore 'Itputs
a premium on scoundrelism.''
The court should put a stop to
this said Heney rising to his feet.
1T is done for the purpose of inffu-

before. The American Bar associa-

hon. FRANK CLARK IN THE POLITICAL lIMELIGHT
ne Has Become National Figure-W1l He Be Returned
to Congress as Protectionist Per Sc?

ly or with any exultation the stern
rebuke administered to Representa-
tive Frank Clark by his fellow demo.
Gratis in congress by the election of
Representative Dickson of Indiana
to succeed him as secretary of the
congressional committee, because we
have disapproved of Mr.. Clark's
course in certain instances.
But we do regard it as unfortunate
both for him and the state of Florida
that only a brief tenure in the posi-
ton of secretary should have resulted
in his reputation as a democrat and
caused him to be regarded as unfit by
his oclleages to hold that important
position.
ANY member of congress possess
ing native ability that Mr.. Clark has
could in time become a useful and dis
tinguished member of that body, and
in so far as he makes himself a man
of mark for broadness of thought and
patriotism, and for earnest, honest
work, just in such measure does he
gain recognition for his state in the
council of the nation.
I'VE do not suppose that this pa
per will be accused of unjustly assail-
ing Mr.. Clark in this instance, as it
has been accused in the past, since
the news that comes from Washing
ton was written by one of the most
impartial Of correspondents and print
ed in a journal that stands foremost
among those that print the news as
it is made from day to day without
color. This affords the opportunity
for reiteration that political condi-
tions are such in Florida that fair
and fearless criticism of public men
and events cannot be made without
having the imputation of unright-
eous motives hurled at it by blind par
tisans. What we have had to say in
regard to Mr.. Clark's attitude was
evoked at least on one occasion by
the glaring inconsistency of that gen.
tleman. This is one mission and du-
ty of a public journal. There is no
mortal man who is right all the time,
and there is no way of regulating
public thought and the conduct of
public officials, who are the public
servants. except by giving voice to
the thought of the people in the pub
lie prints. This is the reason why the
press should be free and not bound to
the interest of one interest and muz-
zled when it comes to questions af-
fecting the good of the people
THE Metropolis has no candidate
for congress, but we think there is
a chance for some good man to stepi
into MI. Clark's shoes when the time
comes. He has been discredited by
his colleagues, and his influence
with them is necessarily impaired"

pauper labor of Egypt on long staple
cotton, and take care of their lumber
