WHO BROUGHT
ABOUT CANNON'S DOWNFALL

George William Norris, representa-
tive from the Fifth Nebraska district,
whose onslaught on Cannon has made
him famous from Maine to California,
has worked his way, despite many
handicaps, up to position of emf
nence. He was born on a farm in
Sandusky Ohio, in 1861. His father
died when he was babe, his only
brother was killed in the Civil War,
and his mother was left in straitened
circumstances. He worked among the
neighboring farmers in the summer
months and attended school only in
the winter, became a country school
master, studied law and was admitted
to the bar in 1888. Then the West
opened vistas of preferment, and he
went to Nebraska in 1885 and soon
began to be conspicuous in politics. In
1895 he was elected District Judge of
the Fourteenth Nebraska District
Four years later he was reelected to
the same position, which he held when
he was nominated to the Fifty-eighth
Congress, and since that time he has
represented the Fifth District Mr..
Norris is man of strong personality

MABRAY is CONVICTED.
Jurors in Council Bluffs Trial Find
Alleged Swindler and Aids Guilty.

Jurors in Council Bluffs Trial Find
Alleged Swindler and Aids Guilty.
John c. Mabray and thirteen of his
associates, who for ten days have been
on trial in the United States District
Court in Council Bluffs, charged with
Illegal use of the mails in connection
with an extensive fixed" race swim
die, were found guilty in a verdict by
the jury which heard the case. Rob
ert e. l.. Goddard of San Antonio, the
fifteenth defendant, secured a disa-
greement.
Those convicted with Mabray were
Leon Loser, Tom S. Robinson, Willard
Powell, Clarence Glass, Edward Leach,
Edward X. Morris, Clarence Forbes,
Harry Forbes, Frank Scott, Ed Nc
Coy, Winford S. Harris, Bert R. Shores
and William ("Ole") Marsh. The
last-named three entered a plea of
nolle contendre when the trial opened,
which was, in effect, plea of guilty.
With the conviction of Mabray and
his associates, the government believes
it has broken up the most monumen-
tai swindling combination which eyer
has operated Statistics have been
gathered which show the receipts of
the combination since its organization
about ten years ago to have exceeded
$5.000,000.

Forty-eight persons were killed and

The train wrecked was combina-
ton of the Rock Island roads Twin
City express" trains, bound for Mime
apolis from Chicago and st. Louis,
and being routed over the Chicago
/ Great Western tracks. The wreck,
which is the worst in the history of
Iowa railroading, was caused by the
tender of the first of the two engines
drawing the combined train jumping
the track and plunging into a clay
bank lining deep cut near Green
Mountain
A relatively unimportant freight
wreck on the Rock Island at Shells
burg the previous night was the in.
direct cause of the catastrophe In
this freight wreck traffic was so tied
up that it was necessary for the Rock
Island to make temporary routing
arrangement with the Chicago Great
Western to care for its passenger
trains to and from Minneapolis.
The Chicago Twin City Express"
and the St. Louis train were combined
at Marshalltown AS there was no
turn table, il was necessary for the
two engines to be coupled at the head
OF the train with their tenders ahead
and pull the cars backing up. II is
supposed that this unusual method OF
running the engines caused the ten.
der OF the first locomotive to leap the
track in the cut The tender plunged
into the bank and stuck there and the
two locomotives leaped the rails and
damned into the cut.
Next to the engines was the heavy
Pullman sleeper of the st. Louis train,
in which many of the passengers had
the Pullman were two lighter cars,
first a smoking car and then a day
car, and behind these were the ten 9th

which composed the train. Although
the train was not travelling faster than
twenty-five miles an hour, the enor-
NOUS weight back of the lightly con-
structed day coach and smoker tele-
Bcoped them against the immovable
bulk of the heavy Pullman and the two
locomotives. Most of the fatalities and
serious injuries occurred in these two
cars, which were ground almost to
bits. The passengers in the st. Louis
Pullman escaped with a shaking up
and minor bruises, while the ten cars
back of the telescoped section of the
train remained on the rails and those
riding in them suffered only trifiing in
juries.
Wild scenes of panic ensued. The
presence on the scene of so many un-
injured passengers, unaccustomed TO
acting in emergencies and overcome
by the horror of the catastrophe, add
ed to the confusion young Chicago

out as the hero who brought order out
Of the chaos and was responsible for

ing doctors and nurses, had reached

in conference and the regular Repub-

of the meeting would be compro

While the conference was on. the
House practically was in recess. The
Speaker kept some one in the chair,

cerned as to the ultimate effect of the
strife on his own fortunes. The mem

Large Majority.
Washington correspondence

Washington correspondence
Shorn of his power by a combina-
ton of the Democrats and Republican
insurgents, Joseph Quincy Cannon is
now merely the presiding officer of the
national House of Representatives.
The House Saturday afternoon
adopted resolution amending the
rules so as to provide for the election
of committee on rules by the House
itself, the committee to consist of ten
members and the speaker being in
eligible to serve thereon.
The full text of the resolution as
passed by the House is as follows:
Resolved, That the rules of the
House of Representatives be amended
as follows:
Il. In Rule 10, Paragraph 1, strike
out the words on rules, to consist of
five members
SO. Add new paragraph to Rule 10
as follows:
Paragraph V. There shall be a
committee on rules elected by the
House consisting of ten members. six
of whom shall be members of the ma
jority party and four of whom shall
be members of the minority party. The
speaker shall not be member of the
committee and the committee shall
elect its own chairman from its own
members.
Resolved further, That within ten
days after the adoption of this resolu-
ton there shall be an election of this
committee, and Immediately upon its
election the present committee on
rules shall be dissolved"
By a vote OF 155 to 191 the House
then defeated a resolution declaring
the Office of speaker vacated and pro-
viding for the immediate election of
successor to Cannon. Nine insurgents
voted with the Democrats in support
of this resolution.
At noon Friday the tense situation
existing never would have been sus-
pected from the appearance on the
floor of the House. Apparently it was
