The cause for the disastrous wreck
in which r. V. Elliott. the brakeman.

injured. is still mystery TO the officials

things that do happen occasionally. ]
would not say that 1t was due to either
a broken rail or spreading of the rails
In fact. we are satisfied that this was
not the reason for the wreck"
Engineer Page said: Il felt the en-
gine and / did the only thing I could
do. put on the air brakes. but neither
the fireman nor 1 had time to get off
Just as I jerked the air we both
landed in a bunch, but the fireman
must have been struck by a beam from
the tender"
Describing the death of the brake
man, Conductor White said: I'VE were
sitting in the front of the car and wher
we heard that there was something
wrong ahead Elliott shot past us like
a fash and tried to throw on the air
Then the shock came and he dashed
head first againts the door and wher
the car swung of the track he was
thrown out of the door"

TRAINS
RUNNING
NOW AGAIN

The Gary & Western trains were
again put in operation yesterday at
noon, the line having been cleared of
the wreckage and debris of the pre-
vious day.
Shortly after the disaster, in which
one person was killed and four others
were injured, the wrecking crew was
on the scene and before the next
morning all signs of the wreck had
been cleared away. The entire track
from Gary to Hammond has been
carefully inspected and the cause of
the derailment of the train is still a
mystery to the officials Workmen
are now employed in placing the road
bed in perfect condition, and it is
thought that no further trouble will
take place.

VAN HORNE
SWITCHES
CANDIDACY


Indiana Harbor. March 19.--willard
B. Van Horne, the first candidate for
the republican nomination for senator
of Lake and Porter counties this cam
paign, has determined to withdraw from
the race in the interest of party har-
mony and will leave Frank n. Gavit of
Whiting a clear field so far for the
nomination.
Mr.. Van Horne has yielded to the
opportunities of his friends and will
make the race for the joint representa-
tiveship of Lake and Newton counties.
They belive that he had a good chance
to get the senatorial nomination and
say that he ought to be rewarded for
his determination to stand for the best
interests of the party with the other
legislatorial nomination for which no
candidates have yet announced. Mr..
Van Horne was in Gary yesterday and
was informed that the republicans there
would not put any candidates in the
field on the county republican ticket
this year.

BOTH FACTIONS
CLAIM VICTORY
Progressives Say sherman's
Defeat Means Roosevelt
Victory

New York, Sept. 21.-Leaders Of the
Roosevelt forces in this state declar-
ed today that the defeat of Vice Presi-
dent James 8. Sherman in his home
district in Tuesdays primaries spells
victory for the progessives at the Re-
publican state convention. Both sides
assert that the primaries in various
parts Of the state yesterday were ia
vorable to them and each is claiming
tho victory.
Many counties elected uninstructed
delegates to Saratoga which gives an
element of uncertainty to the outcome
when the state convention meets at
Saratoga next week.
Llyod C. Griscom, leader Of the
Roosevelt forces, says that the state
ment Of William Barnes, Jr. Of Al
bany that the old guard will have q
majority of ffty-five votes with whcih
to elect Vice President Sherman tenn
p0rary chairman Of the convention is
absurd.
State Chairman Woodruff said to-
day that the situation called for no
statement today other than that Of

his findings in the Minnesota COM

States circuit court, Special Master
in Chancery Charles E. Otis held those
rates to be unconstitutional and con-
fiscatory.
This finding Of Judge Otis. unless
overruled by the higher courts, wipes
out the rate-making power of the
State Of Minnesota through the ware
house and railroad commission and
has somewhat a general effect in es-
tablishing the federal rate supervi-
sion as against the state rate SUPER
vision. The finding in the three cases
was the result of the suits brought a
year or more ago by certain stock
holders of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Minneapolis and st.
Louis railways, against their respec-
tive companies, the attorney general
Of Minnesota, the state warehouse
and railroad commission and certain
shippers to enjoin them from enforc-
ing certain rates prescribed by state
authority, namely the class rates.
