Railway in North
ASSOCIATED Press)

PORTLAND, July PA head-on
collision between a work train and an
eastbound electric train at Boring, a
station twenty-five miles east of here
on the Cazadero division of the Port
land Railway, Light &s Power company
resulted in the injury of eighteen per
sons, four seriously. The accident oc'
cured late yesterday, but the remote
ness of the place enabled the suppress
sion of the news until late today wheT
some of the injured arrived in this
city.
Those seriously hurt are: Mrs. A.
Miller, Dover, Ore, leg cut and back
bruised; Mrs. A. E. Alspaughe, Ais
paugh, Ore, bruised and cut; Geopafe,
Cazadero. body crushed; Nicholas
Young, motor driver on passenger car,
cut and bruised about head.
All of the injured are expected to
recover. None of the work train crew
was hurt.
According to passengers on the GAIA
dero car, the work train was observed
about 100 yards ahead, coming up a
slight grade. The driver of the pas
senger car is said to have stopped his
car and whistled, but without effect on
the work train, which continued its
approach with, it is asserted, undimin-
ished speed.
The passengers, taking it for grant
ed that the work train intended to halt
as had their own car, kept their seats
until the work train was almost upon
them. The impact was terrific, the
two cars being wedged together as if
welded into one. No explanation of
the accident has been obtained from
the work train crew, which was de-
clared by the passenger train crew to
have no business on the main line at
the time the accident occurred.

FOREST FIRES GAIN
HEADWAY IN MONTANA
Fighters Make Little HeadWay
Against Flames; LoIo Ma
tionaI Forest in Danger

MISSOULA, Mont, July 24.-Today
brought distressing news from the
many crews of fire fighters that have
been sent out from the Missoula head
quarters of the forest service, near
western Montana. The smoke of a
number of fires within plain sight of
the city made the day cloudy and the
heavens glowed tonight. From the
Flathead forest, many miles to the
north, a heavy pail of smoke is sweep
ing over the foothills toward Missoula.
From. the Blackfoot canyon, east of the
city, comes word of more new fires,
and from the Bitter Root forest, south
and west, four new fires are reported
today, all bad and one serious.
The worst is near Stevensville, where
a steady fight has met with but little
success. Three more fires were re-
ported in the Bitter Root valley today,
all south of Hamilton. The fire nearest
to Missoula is gradually eating its way
to the Lolo national forest. .

.WARSHIP HURRIED TO SCENE
Believed 146 of Those Who Were
on Vessel Are Adrift and
May Be Saved
CAssociated Press.

TOXIC, July 24.-The Tetsurei Maru,
plying between Kobe and Dairen, sank
last night off Chindo, Korea. The
steamer had 246 passengers aboard.
Warships have been sent to the rescue.
Direct reports from Chindo state
that two of the Tetsureis lifeboats
landed forty passengers, who tell of
narrowing scenes when the befogged
vessel struck. Six lifeboats were
launched and filed with passengers.
There was no panic and everything
was carried off in the most orderly
manner.
The captain and a majority of the
crew We're unable to leave the steamer.
Six first class passengers were saved,
including w. Cunningham, the British
vice consul at Osaka, as well as thlr-
teen second class passengers. OF the
rest, 105 third class passengers and 80
soldiers were taken off in boats, and
there is reason to believe that these
beats either reached land or We're
picked up by the warships.
The Tetsurei Maru was of 2100 tons
register. She was built at Nagasaki
and was owned by the Osaga Shosen

MONTREAL, July 24.-The attempts
of Mackenzie King, minister of labor,
to effect a settlement of the Grand
Trunk strike have fallen through, at
least for the present, the Grand Trunk
management taking the view that the
time for arbitration has passed and all
that the company requires in order to
resume the full operation of the road
is the protection for its new men to
which it is legally entitled. The mes
sage conveying this information to Mr..
King was sent tonight and read:
your message of 23rd received.
While as you know, from the many
conferences urging your action before
the strike took place and from our
offer repeatedly urged upon the COM
mittee, we were desirous of arbitration
and so avoiding the existing trouble,
time for such action has now passed,
and it is only necessary that we should
have the protection to which we are
entitled to enable US to resume the
full operation of the road.-Charles NJ.
Hayes"
TO REOPEN SHOPS
Coupled with this announcement of
| the company that the time has passed
| for arbitration comes the statement
that on Monday the shops of the en-
tire system will be reopened. that in
structions will be issued 10 agents
freights will be put on and the mani
fest freight service increased. In ad-
dition to this it is announced by the
officials that some of the former en-
ployes who went out on Monday last
are reporting for work.
The answer of Vice President Muir
dock to this is:
1--WE are perfectly satisfied with the
way things are going, and if it is to
be a fight to a finish 1 do not know
that 1 could suggest an Improvement
under existing conditions from our
point of view. AS matters stand the
travelling public is being fairly well
taken care of, while freight is tied up.
The report OF A. Kennedy of the en-
gineers' brotherhood to us is that only
10 per cent of the Grand Trunk en-
gineers are on their regular runs, the
remaining 80 per cert being idle"
Despite Mr.. Murdock's assurance,
misgivngs are beginning to develop
among the men, who see the positions
they once held threatened by the
progress the company is making. This
was shown at the meeting of the men
today, and the suggestion was plainly
made to the leaders that action was
necessary in order to hold the strikers
together.

COLQUlTT NOMINATED
FOR GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
Though He Is Anti-PrOhibitioniSt,
Submission Carries

DALLAS, Tex, July 24.-The count
of votes in the Texas Democratic
primary election, which has been pro-
ceeding today, has not materially
changed the estimate made last night.
oscar B. Colquitt, ti-Prohibitionist,
has been nominated for governor by a
plurality which will probably reach
10000.
Cone Johnson and William PoindeX-
ter, the Prohibition candidates, are
practically tied for second place.
The proposition to submit to the
people a prohibition amendment to the
constitution carried by about 20,000.
This presents the anomalous situation
of an anti -Prohibitionist being nomi-
mated by a party demanding the sub
mission of a prohibition amendment.

THIEVES WORK. At
TAFT'S RECEPTION
Crooks Pick Pockets of Farmers
Who Come to Meet the
President

BAR HARBOR, Me-, July 24.-Dur-
ing the reception to President Taft
last night pickpockets operated ex-
tensively and a number Of persons
lost their valuables while almost in
the act of shaking the president 8
hand.
Chief of Police Drummey of Ellis
worth, was busy late last night and
today recording complaints from people
of losses of pocketbooks, watches and
other articles of jewelry. 1t seems
that a band of thieves, four men and
a woman, arrived at Ellsworth just
before the president got there and
piled their trade with unusual sue
cess. The crowds which thronged
Hancock hall to hear the president
speak, and which pushed eagerly for
ward to shake his hand when the re-
ception began, were the special OBJ
ject of the attack.
When the hall was cleared out three
leather wallets stripped of money and
papers were found on the floor 1t is
estimated the thieves got away with
several hundred dollars in the aggre-
gate, although the individual losses
did not go above $3.50. Among the VIC
tins were a number of farmers who
had driven many miles into the city to
see and hear the president.
PRESIDENTS ANKLE BETTER
The president left Ellsworth this
afternoon after his visit to Senator
r, Hale and went by special train to
Mount Desert ferry, where he boarded
the Mayflower, which headed for Bar
Harbor and the sea. The course from
here lies southwark, and a slow run
will take the president to Islesboro,
where he is due to land at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
Mr. Taft's strained ankle, after a
night in congresses, was improved to-
day and his limp seemed less painful
than on yesterday. All danger of SER
ious consequences from the injury ap-
pears to have passed, and While the
president may have TO give up golf
for a few days, the plans for the re-
mainder of the cruise, which ends next
Thursday afternoon at Beverly, will
not otherwise be interfered with. AT
Ellsworth the president and his entire
party attended services at the Con-
gregational church.
TO VISIT ROCKPORT
Just before leaving Ellsworth the
president was driven to Mr.. Hale's
camp at Branch Pond for a plate of
old-fashioned New England clam
choWder.
Leaving Ellsworth, the president
seemed in the best of spirits and de-
clared his ankle was getting better all
the time. The Mayfiower stopped at
Bar Harbor on her way out for the
mail at $50 p. m. and sailed at $50
p. m. for Dark Harbor, Islesboro. The
party, after visiting different points in
Islesboro, will go to Rockport tomor-
row noon for luncheon with A. P.
Chatfield of Cincinnati, who has sum-
mer home there.

individual who has subscribed for stock
and made a payment will not suffer the
loss of a cent from the fact that the
resort will be reached by next summer
by a good roadway.
The matter of collections was part
of the unfinished business taken up by
the directors. 1t is estimated that the
roadway can be completed for six thou
sand dollars. To this end the directors
expect to commence an active cam
paign not later than the first of next
year to finish the road.
Certain other features have entered
into the popularity of the resort, one
being that there is a possibility that
the Globe Automobile club may be-
come interested in the proposition.
While Globe is a mountain town yet
there are certain portions of the sum-
mer when the thermometer rises sky
ward even as il does in the valley.
While there are numerous mountain
retreats in the vicinity Of the ella
county capital, yet it is understood that
they are not so accessible by an auto
mobile as will be Pineair after the
Globe Roosevelt territorial highway
and the Pineair road are completed. At
any rate it is the intention of the di-
rectors Of the Pineair company to put
the matter up to the Globe Automobile
club.

Directors Decide
To Complete Road
COLLECTION CAMPAIGN TO BE
COMMENCED JANUARY FIRST.
Six Thousand Dollars Will Be Suffici-
ent To Do It.

At a meeting of the Pineair Resort
company at this place Saturday ev-
ening the announcement was made that
the road leading from the thirteenth
mile post on the Roosevelt thorough
fare to the resort would positively be
completed. 1t is well known fact that
the building of the first stretch of road
to the resort has cost considerably
more than was first anticipated and
that there remain a stretch of noun
famous country over which only a trail
extends for possibly a distance of be-
tween three and four miles. In the
event that the three foot trail which
connects the present end of the Pine
air road with the resort is made into
a roadway it will be possible to drive
by auto from the valley to the resort in
a few hours. The announcement by
the directors was to the effect that any
