Little Rock, Ark, September 22.-Post- office department in general were de- tended and indorsed at today's session of the National Association of Rural Let ter Carriers. The indorsement came in a resolution rebuking the editor of the Rural Free Delivery News, the official organ of the association, because of at- tacks on the postoffice department and certain members of Congress, disclaim- ing responsibility for the criticisms in question.
 Hereafter, the resolution declares, the association will stand sponsor only for the utterances of the executive officers of the organization.

Blame For Fearful Wreck
 Placed Upon Motorn1an
Special Session of the Grand Jury Ordered At Kngsand to Investigate the Collision On the Interurban Roadof- ficials of the Line Will Soon Issue Statement Re-
 garding the Cause of the Disaster

'1ocar' was filled to the last seat and there were several persons in the aisles or on the platforms. The crash was without warning. Running at It's highest speed the empty "special sped out from the woods on curve and plunged Into the local" which also was running at high speed. There was no chance for either motorman to prevent the acci- dent The "locaF' was torn apart as one might burst a paper bag. It exploded, say witnesses. Of all In the car, prob ably 60 passengers, scarcely one escaped. It was a slaughter
 That the blame will be placed is made apparent by the action of the Indiana state board of railroad commissioners. Within a short time of the accident Commissioner A. A. Shane, who is also the special investigator of the board, had reached the scene of the wreck. and had begun interrogating traction officials and witnesses of the crash. This morning Mir. Shane declined to make known the result of his investigation, saying that It would have to be given out by the state board.
 This morning Superintendent of Trans portaton Frank I. Hardy sat heart broken in his office at Fort Wayne.
 Tn a very short time we will be able to make a statement" said MT Hardy, "placing so far as we can determine 1t, the blame for the terrible wreck. The extent of the accident appals us. yet we are doing everything in our power to care for the dead and injured and to all levate so far as we may the anguish of relatives of the victims. We have be- gun the most careful scrutiny of train orders bearing on the case and on every bit of evidence which might tend to fix the blame. The public soon shall know where the responsibility lies"
 Around the undertaking establishments in Bluffton and Fort Wayne and at the hospitals in this city this morning were gathered anxious or stricken men and women. For the most part the bodies have been claimed, but in some instances where multilation made Identification diff ficult or the victim was not actually re- lated to anyone in the district there was delay and confusion.

Minority Leader ] BroWne ana State Senator John Broderick, as wit nesses before the committee.
 Attorney Hanecy also urged that many of the state legislators who voted for Senator Lorimer were seeking reelection and that to compel them to leave their districts to testify before the committee would be hardship on them, and that the testimony given before the commit tee would be used for political purposes and not simply to arrive at the truth.
 Attorney Clifford W. Barnes of the Legislators Voters league who filed a petition with the United States senate embodying the charges of fraudulent methods In the election of Senator Lori mer, opposed the continuance, declaring that the senatorial committee had a sol emn duty to perform to help purge the senate of its disgrace"
 At the conclusion of the argument on the postponement of the hearing Chair man Burrows, senator from Michigan. permitted Attorney Hanecy to file for maj application in support of his motion for continuance, stating in as brief form as possible the reasons on which the motion was based.
 Attorney Barnes asked leave to file with the committee a counter argument while the hearing should proceed, and his request was granted.
 In addition to the plea for delay be- cause legislators would be summoned to testify. the counsel for Senator Lorimer touched upon political dispute over the Illinois deep waterway, and, asserted that not only were legislators being attacked because of their having voted for Sena- tor Lorimer. but because they had voted against spending $2o,oo0.OOo for deep waterways for the purpose of water pow CT projects
 This portion of the argument was in line with the speech of Senator Lorimer in the Senate, when he characterized the charges against him as part of great political plot in which the governor of the state of Illinois had joined hands with the newspaper which printed the confess sion of Legislator Charles A. White.
 Attorney Barnes in opposing the con- tinuance, declared that he was surprised at the demand for a postponement and asserted that 1t was the duty of the com mittee to proceed with the hearing
 The attorney for the Legislative Voters league asked that Attorney Alfred s. Austrian, representing the Chicago Trib- une, be allowed to speak to the motion. Attorney Austrian prefaced his argument with a request that the newspaper which he represented be allowed to appear in the hearing by counsel.
 He told of the investigation which the newspaper had made and its presentation of evidence to the states attorney of Cook county. and called attention to a statement which he said was made by Chairman Burrows when the sub-com- mittee was appointed that the investi- gation would proceed with "all due dis patch"
 He also said that the newspaper had supplied the committee with list of wit nesses which would occupy at least three weeks with their testimony, and asserted that If there was political conspiracy against Senator Lorimer the committee can readily ascertain it"
 No ruling was made by the committee on the proposition to permit MT. Aus trian to take part in the hearing.

THIRTEEN F~RATERNAL lNsuR-
ANcE MEN ARE INDICTED
IN ILLINOIS.
RECORDS ALSO ARE MISSING
Disclosures Made by a Rock Islano.
ILL.,, Grand Jury After a Two Months
Inquiry-SeveraI of the Accused Of
ficiaIs Have Gone Into Hiding.

Rock Island, Hl.-Indictments against
thirteen persons were returned We'd
nesday by a Rock Island county jury,
which sonce May 3 had been investi-
eating alleged fr%aternal insurance
frauds. All those indicted were Of
ficers Of the American Home Circle or
of the Fraternal Tribunes, or were con
cerned in the merger of the two socie-
ties, in 1908. This merger is said to
have been followed by the disappear
ance of the Tribunes' reserve fund of
$4,000 and the alleged mismanage-
ment of the society affairs to such an
extent that it vas ultimately wrecked.
Those indicted are:
Or. Al Kraug, G. F. Hatfield and Max
F. Franckel of Chicago; H. A. Weld
and Robert Rexdale of Rock Island;
Thomas w. Wilson Of Washington, D.
c.; Michael R. CARRIER, G. H. Walters
and George w. Kenney of Springfield;
s. s.. McIlvane, Miss Margaret Nell
vane and Ohio L. Caldwell of Auburn,
ILL.,, and X. M. Whitman of Aldo, III.
Craig, Hatfield, Rexdale, Weld,
Whitman and s. S. McIlvaine were in
dicted for alleged embezzlement and
conspiracy and larceny OF the records
of the Tribunes, and Franckel, Marga-
ret McIlvaine and Caldwell for alleged
perjury.
Craig, Weld and Whitman, %anticipat-
ing their indictments, appeared in
court Wednesday afternoon and gave
bond in the sum of $4,000 each and
We're released. Capiases were issued
for the others and they will be brought
in as soon as found and placed under
bonds.
Whitman, when the societies we're
merged two years ago, was supreme
scribe; Rexdale, supreme secretly;
Craig, supreme physician, and Weld,
supreme attorney Of the Fraternal
Tribunes. They conducted negotia-
tons on the part of the Tribunes for a
merger, agreeing to resign and give
the Home Circle officers control of the
united societies. For this they re.
ceived, it is said, $4,000, Whitman and
Craig getting the great portion.
