CRASH ON MAIN
LINE OF PENNSY
Two Freight Trains in One
Of Which Was Dynamite
Are Wrecked

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-An
traffic on the Main Line of the PENN
sylvania railroad was blocked to-day
for hours and thousands of COM
muters living in suburbs in that sec
tion were delayed until long past
office hours i'm reaching this city. or
entirely prevented from so doing,
when a fast freight express from
Harrisburg crashed into the rear Of
a local PaOli division freight at $50
O'Clock at Ardmore station. scattering
the cars of both trains all over the
four tracks of the railroad.
The wreckage quickly became ig-
nited and a fire of menacing proper
tons ensued. A number OF firemen
were overcome with smoke. With one
exception they were the only ones re-
quiring medical attention as a result
of the wreck. A score had marvellous
escapes from death.
The Harrisburg train contained two
cars loaded with dynamite. These
cars were situated in the midst of
the fire. It was momentarily expected
that an explosion would occur which
would have disastrous results.
That this did not occur was due TO
the heroism of Engineer Samuel
Boyd. of the Paoli freight. who. after
once braving death, entered his cat
and, opening the throttle, ran the
locomotive into the heart of the fire
and pulled out the two freight cars
containing the dangerous explosive
The flames beat about the carriers
with wild fury, and every moment th'
OnloolKers expected that not only Boy
but all of them would be hurled Il

drawn to safety the man was given
great ovation.
The one man badly injured IN thu
smash-up, which was one of thi
worst which has occurred on this di
vision for several years. was VIII

ROOSEVELT MAY NOT TAKE
PART IN NEW YORK FIGHT

state Committee in defeating him for
temporary chairman of the State Con-
yention.
Not only does this attitude fore
shadow a lively fight for control of the
party in New York, but that little
word progressive" has a bearing on
national palitics that is likely to lead
to complications outside the State OF
New York.
At any rate. the national lC.sers OF
the Republican party will, it is be-
lieved, halt in their plans for a reor-
ganization OF leadership until the full
import Of Col. Roosevelt's declaration
is known.
The State Chairman Woodruff, el0t-
cd at the result, said after the meeting
that It showed clearly who was in con-
troll of the organization, and that any
attempt to change the control would
be futile. He said there had been no
intention OF afronting Mr. Roosevelt,
but the latter's name had been lugged
IN for a football and had been kicked
all over the field.
The members of the "oid guard
were absolutely deaant last night, and
declared that no trace OF the principles
OF Governor Hughes would appear
either in the platform or the ticket 10
be nommated at Saratoga. which was
named yesterday as the place for the
convention. The time selected is Tues
day and Wednesday, September q and
2S.
The Progressives declare that they
will take their fight for progressive
politics right into the convention. The
convention must ratify the choice Of
the State Committee for temporary
chairman, but Mr.. Griscom was not
prepared to say last night that any
fight would be made there 10 substitute
the name Of Mr.. Roosevelt for that Of

SLOW and final returns of the most

Dahlman carried his home county,
Douglas by 1000 and ran well ahead
of Governor Schellenberger I'm most
OF the cities and towns. Even Lincoln
tcity) and Lancaster county went for
Dahlman by an estimated majority o.
1000 this despite the fact that the
Omaha mayor is fostering a move tC

as a result of the capitol city twice

The Shallenberger managers are
still pinning their hopes to the rural
votes and insist that belated returns
will show that the governor has beer
renominated. A terrific rainstorm
swept over almost the entire state
yesterday afternoon and thousands o
farmers were prevented from goins
TO the polls. Shallenberger was tn,
chief loser on this account.
In case the complete returns beai
