WASHINGTON. Jan. I0-The Republi-
can whip of the house of representa-
lives has erased from the roster of Re-
publican membership the names of the
Insurgents" who jumped the reserva-
ton last Friday and helped the Demo-
Gratis to rebuke Speaker Cannon by de-
priving him Of the right TO appoint the
house members OF the Ballinger- Pinchot
investigating committee, IL is said here
after consulting with leading Republicans.
This action Is regarded as tantamount
to reading the insurgents out OF the grand
old party.
II means that none of the Insurgents
will be invited TO attend future party
caucuses. nor will they be recognized by
the Republican whip of the tendency in
the house on any important party ques-
tion.
There is considerable speculation as to
attitude of the Republican insurgents in
the election of the investigating commit
tee. They viii not be invited. nor allow
ed to participate in the regular Republi-
can caucus for the nomination of MEM
bers, and it is hardly probable that they
will be able to get I'm the regular Demo-
cratic caucus, though there is strong pos
sibility of an understanding between
Democrats and insurgents.
ELECT DEMOCRATS.
II is said at present to elect two regu-
lar Democrats. two insurgent Republi-
cans and two regular Republicans on the
investigating committee from the house
This proposal Is possible of accomplish
ment. III the Democrats and insurgent:
harmonic.
Coming as it does right on the heels
of the congressional campaign commit
tees avowed purpose of opposing the in
surgents for reelection, the action of th'
whip is taken to mean that the fight has
actually begun. The insurgents are no
disturbed by the erasure of their names
from the party list, however, and con

Cannon's claws were pulled last Friday
They do not fear a fight in their dis

in the thrilling Illustration of the bold
postoffice robbery at Tallahassee, Fla,
whereby two yeggmen were shot and
killed by a negro boy named Saule, who
caught them red-handed in an effort to
open the postoffice safe.
Dispatches from Tallahassee stated that
the two robbers, while evidently profess
sional safe-crackers, were unknown to
the local police Every effort was made
to establish their identity, and on Mon
day morning Postoffice Inspector Fred
Roege positively identified one of them
as Tennessee Dutch" a notorious
craftsman with a criminal record cover
ing a large area of the country, and a
string of aliases as long as a horse S
pedigree.

Dutch" alias Jake Moore, alias John
Rutherford. alias John Hinkle, alias
many other names, had been an inmate
of the federal prison in Atlanta when he
made his escape the last time from the
clutches of the law.

At the time of his last arrest, Ten
nessee Dutch" was captured ir Birming-
ham, Ala, in company with GeorsS Bar

tional delivery from the Atlanta tower
window by means of a sheet torn into
strips and twisted into a rope.
Barton was sent here and Tennessee
Dutch" to Greenville. S. c.. where he
was wanted for robbing the postoffice
there. He effected his escape, and was
not heard OF until identified Monday

porarily locked up in several cities and

 TRAIN WRECK
 AT MIDDLETOWN
Especial from United Press }

MtddletOwn, Aug. 15.-At the cor oner's investigation into the causes of last Fridays wreck on the valley road in which Engineer Bosworth was killed, F. B. Champion, his fire man, and the first witness testified that they were going at a speed of 50 miles an hour when the express rounded the curve and caught sight of the loaded freight cars on the track ahead.
 "I took the one chance in a thousand and jumped" said Fireman Champion. "But saw Bosworth apply the brakes and knew that he had no time to jump and would be 1ost.''
 Dr. \Califf, the medical examiner, testified to arriving at the wreck soon after the engineer died and mak- ing the usual inquiries of passengers and trainmen.
 L. S. Hoyt, the engineer of the freight train that left the ties on the siding, claimed that he saw a brake man set the brakes securely. He claimed that the cars were stationary when he passed them later in the day. In answer to a question he testified that if the heavy gondola cars ever started of their own momentum they could have gone onto the main track by forcing the switch open of their own weight.
 The hearing adjourned at noon un- til this afternoon to await the arrival of new witnesses.

RAILROAD HEARING TO ADVANCE RATES
 POSTPONED TODAY
(special from United Press.)l

T
 New York, Aug. 15.-The Interstate application of eastern railroads to advance nearly all freight rates, which was set to have begun today in New York, was this morning post poned until 10 o'clock on the morning of September z.
 The delay was occasioned by the fact that the attorneys representing the railroads had been unable to com- plete their preliminary work. The government and the shippers associa- tions represented did not oppose the postponement. The proposed tariff increases will amount, it is said, to more than $500, 1000, 900 annually. The advance is distributed among about 413 transportation lines. The in creases were to have been effective October 1 but were voluntarily with drawn by the railroads pending the passage of the recently enacted rail- road rate bill and the investigation by the Interstate Commerce Com mission The hearings are to be held in the customs house in New York and are to be conducted by G. N. Brown. chief examiner Of the Inter State Commerce Commission.
 All the railroads in the east will be represented by their leading counsel as will the various shippers associa- tions and the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Under a ruling by the commission the burden of proof that the advance is necessary will rest upon the rail roads which will therefore, of course, present their side first.

 It has been stated repeatedly that Charlton first met Mrs. Castle last January but the Sun says:
 Persons who profess to have seen those in the bungalow party say that the pictures published of Charlton and Mrs. Charlton were those of the woman and young man who were seen together near Eastman's bungalow"
 Charlton was working for the Ma tional City Bank in New York in June 1909. The Sun continues, 'It is possible that he may have taken a vacation and gone to St. MichaePs where he might have met his futuBe wife. This, it is pointed out, would be plausible. for it Is said that young Charlton visited St. Michaers four or five times and that he liked the place very much, being popular with the summer colony
 The bank records show that Charl- ton was not absent from the city any business day during June 1909. The body of Mrs. Woodiu was found on Monday, June q.
 The Sun refers to Mrs. Charftun's violent temper which has been des- cribed by her husband and to the fact that stories from Como said she drank heavily. The letter left by Eastman follows:
 q had no hand in the tragedy. I was there and removed the evidence after the two couples fled. Did this for self preservation and am haunted. The victim was my particular friend and we were we'll mated. Have only known her three weeks. We all-that is two men and two other; women from Annapolis-went to the bungalow for a time. Everyone got full excepting Edith and myself. Edith tried to win one of the girls fellow and was hit three times con the side of the head with a full bottle of champagne and the fellow was hit once. She fell over on the floor and died. The man did not come to for an hour. was left with the corpse and cannot take a chance fer trial.

BRAKEMAN. DIES OF SHOCK; LEG
 CRUSHED OFF

After suffering for hours from wounds on his back and body, his leg cut off at the knee, and shock, Ed ward s. Baker, a trainman, of 40 Pearl street, New London, died last evening at St. Vincent's hospital at -7 o'clock, following an accident about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon at West port, where he was run over and crushed by freight train. This morning representatives from the Brotherhood of Railway trainmen, New London, came to this city to the morgue of Rourke & Rourke, claiming the remains, shipping them to New London on the 9:25 express.
 How Baker came by his death is not known, and probably never will be. He was at work on the train when the accident occurred. Baker was brought to this city on the 5:1S express, word having been telephoned ahead to the emergency hospital to have the ambulance in waiting. At the hospital the injured man was i'm mediately placed on the operating table, but the doctors were unable to stave off death.
