CHARGE WESTERN ROAUS
 WITH BEING IN CONTEMPT
Illinois Delegates to Topeka Confer ence Claim That Federal Su- preme Court Injunction Has
 Been Violated.

Chicagoys Sept 23-A charge that Western railroads have violated the injunction obtained by the government in the Trans Missouri rate case will be made by Illinois delegates to the freight rate conference called by Gov ernor Stubbs of Kansas to meet ln Topeka. The conference will be urged to adopt resolutions calling for the prosecution of the alleged offenders for contempt of court.
 The Illinois delegates who left for Topeka are U. c. Orendorff, J. Street, c. B. Fox, H. C. Barnard, c. B. Gregory, J. B. Bartholomew, A. k. Ebi and John M Glenn.
 The resolutions that the delegation will offer were drawn by Clifford Thorne attorney for the National Live Stock Association, the Corn Belt Meat Producers Association and other simi- lar organizations.
 The injunction referred to was is- sued in the case of the United States against the Trans Missouri Freight As sociation in the United States Cir cult court in the Eighth district of Kansas. Is issuance was based upon the direct mandate of the supreme court. It sought to enjoin the rail roads of the Trans Missouri Freight Association from conspiring together or agreeing to fix freight rates.
 The resolutions declare that the rail- roads have perpetrated "a gross and most glaring violation of the sherman antitrust law and of the specific man. dates of the highest tribunal in the United States"

STARTLED BY TRUTH
RAILROAD MANS TESTIMONY AS ToNisHEs THE INTERSTATE
 COMMERCE COMMISSION.
GARDNER'S CANDID STATEMENT
Chicago Northwestern's Vice President upsets All Precedent by Giving Honest Testimony ct Chicago Rate
 tearing--t4ls Road in Good Shape.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-vice President W. A. Gardner of the Chicago & North western railroad spent three hours be fore the Interstate commerce commis sion making one of the most remark able statements ever sworn before the commission and one which Is thought to have been a body blow to the eff forts of the Western railroads to SC cure advanced tariffs on 5S commodi ties.
 The witness smiled at the opposition of his attorney as he swore that the Northwestern was in no fear of bank ruptcy If the rate were not granted That 1t has paid dividends of $54.000,. 900 on an capitalization of $84.000,000 during the past ten years and that the only reason the road wanted an in creased tariff was to swell it's surplus of undivided profits already amount ing to ssO.OO0.0o0.
 Astounded Commissioners.
 Members of the commission and spectators who have listened for days to the panicky pleas of railroad offi- cials were astounded as the nervous little official split hairs to tell the ex- act truth and contradicted the state ments of many other witnesses.
 The Northwestern will not go into bankruptcy next year or the next or for many years to come. even If the tariffs are not advanced" he said. "lt Is our desire to have revenues which will dc more than pay dividends. Ws wish to continue to add to our surplus so that we will be insured against calamity and be assured of credit All the surplus In the end goes back into the road and to the stockholders so that there is no unfair profits made"
 During the entire afternoon attorney Linde. general counsel for the North western asked leading questions try ing to bolster up the case of the roads but MT Gardner refused to allow any misleading impressions to be placed before the commission.
 He admitted that material had cost the road during the past year more than formerly but contended that t was because of heavy repair work and not because of an advance in the price of lumber. rails or other supplies He also admitted that coal had been more expensive but contended that the re cent miners strike was the cause and assured the commission that lower prices might be expected.
 That is the most remarkable testi- mony ever heard" commented Com missioner Lane when MT Gardner had finished his direct testimony, He seems as we'll versed with the ship per's standpoint as with his own and is absolutely fair in the matter. Those who have followed such hear ings say that no such testimony has been heard since the commerce com mission was established.

Where Bread Is a Weird Mixture.


 The pure food movement does not seem to have made much headway in France, according to the Scientific American: Bread, which may be called the national food of France, has long been adulterated largely with tale, substance which is not only indigestible, but it is exceedingly ir- ritating to the gastro-intestinal mu- cous membrane because of the sharp crystal fragments which it contains. Flour is often mixed with alum or with potassium carbonate to increase the amount of water absorbed; with zinc sulphate to keep the bread fresh; with copper sulphate and ammonium carbonate to diminish the quantity of yeast required to improve the appear ance of bread made of spoiled flour. Denatured alcohol. costing one-eighth the price of pure alcohol, is used for the manufacture of the liquors and aperitifs which are so largely con. sumed in France"

DEATH IN \ WRECK
FoRTYTWo PEOPLE KILLED WHEN INDIANA INTERuR5AN
 CARS COLLIDE.
SCENES OF SlCKENlNG HORROR
One Car Heavily Loaded With Excur- sionists Was Completely Teie- scoped by the Other Which Was Empty-lgnored a Danger Signal.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Sept. 23.-The most disastrous wreck in the history of interurban electric railroading in the middle west occurred near Kings land, Ind, and claimed toll of AZ dead and a score injured, at least six of whom will probably die.
 Most of the victims were pleasure seekers from Bluffton and Warren, Indiana, en route to the Fort Wayne fair Twenty-Five of them were dead before the dust and splinters of the wrecked cars had settled Other died in the wreck before they could be released and three expired during the late afternoon on operating tables in St. Joseph's hospital in Ft. Wayne.
 The disaster was the result of a head-on collision on the Bluffton di- vision of the Wabash Valley Traction companys line special car of the Indiana Traction Company, empty and southbound, met a northbound limited of the Wabash Valley line, and loaded to the steps, on curve mile outside of the village of Kingsland.
 Beyond blaming the wreck on the human equation, the officials of the Wabash Valley line decline to discuss It.
 Ran Past Danger Signal.
 They declare that the crew of the empty southbound special ran past a properly set danger signal and that it was impossible to halt the cars after the motormen caught sight of each other.
 At least one passenger who escaped the almost general destruction that come to the north bound car declares that the motorman of that car lost his head when he saw the special ap- preaching and increased his speed from 15 to 25 miles an hour.
 A thorough investigation by the cor. oner of Wells county and a subsequent Investigation by the Indiana Railway commissioner will undoubtedly be ne. cassary to determine the responsibility for the horror and the exact cause of the wreck
 The wreck itself was a grewsome monstrosity according to the accounts of the few uninjured survivors and of members of the Kingsland and Bluff ton relief parties. who were early on the scene.
 Cars Met On a Curve.
 The cars met with a crash at the point of the curve, which is framed In thick woods. The southbound car was so much heavier, despite it's lack of passenger weight, that 1t divided the lighter car as with knife and ploughed through to within six feet of the rear platform.
 Then the heavy car seemed to fall apart from the force of the collision. There was no pile of wreckage such as Is left after a railroad wreck The northbound car was in splinters and the man killing limited flattened wreck. It's windows and their frames went out as from an explosion and the heavy roof crumpled down on the tangled seats. The electric wires by some miracle did not flare. though they broke and came down and there was no sign of fire, but there was hor. TOT and to spare without It.
