TWO TRAINMEN CRUSHED TO
DEATH IN A WRECK.
Locomotive of the Twentieth Cen.

UTICA. y. Y, January 25.-The engine
on the New York Central Twentieth Cen
tury Limited, east-bound, turned COM
pletely over about quarter of a mile
west of st. townsville at $50 o'clock this
morning. Under the engine pits Fireman
Melvin J. Handville Of Syracuse was
crushed beyond recognition. The engineer.
John Scanlon of Fort Hunter. attempted
TO leap when the engine left the rails,
but he was caught between the engine
and tender and was fatally crushed.
There is signal tower at the place Of
the wreck, and from this the switches
and cross-overs are controlled. For some
reason it was necessary for the tower
man to shift the train from track No.
to track No. 2. and he had thrown the
switch for the cross-over and set the

The plan of President Taft to go after
SHINING corporations after the decisions
of the Supreme Court in the American
Tobacco and Standard Oil cases has been
80 distorted and made to appear so SEN
sational in many publications that the
White House considered 1t necessary to-
day to issue statement declaring that
none of the publications is official. AS a
coincidence, the statement appeared short
ly after James J. Hill, the great railroad
figure of the northwest. had talked with
the President and after the chief execu-
tive had received information from va
rious quarters that the publications had
been used to depress prices in New York
and elsewhere. Although the President
has no purpose of keeping track of the
doings of stocks in Wall street, he does
not wish an impression TO get abroad
that his administration will wildly at
,ack corporations.

What Mr.. Hill Said.

James J. Hill said lie had called on the
President merely to pay Ills respects, and
that he had not discussed trust prosecu-
tions and such affairs with the Pres-
dent Il am not authorized to speak for
the President 10 these things said
Mr.. Hill. but ! am sure that he will not
go after corporations because they are
corporations. lie will attack the sins Of
corporations il he does anything. And
if corporations are violating the law they
should lie handled. What We do not
want though, is lot of wild stories
that will cause depression throughout
the country. Normally. conditions are
satisfactory In all directions.
Mr. Hill did not want 10 talk about the
legislative program of the administration
as to interstate carriers. He considered
the question too important to discuss Off
hand But We need the rest cure badly,

try should he allowed to recover from

Statement by Officials.

ALBANY, y. Y. January 2J.-The fol-

wreck of the Twentieth Century Limited
has been given out by the New York
Central officials here:

Signal Ignored.

The supposition is that the signal eau
tioning Engineer Scanlon to slow down
was not seen by him in time to bring
his train under full control, and when
the locomotive struck the cross-over the
ponderous machine bounded into the air,
turned upon its side in twinkling, and
then, as ii struck one of the rails, rolled
upon its back and plowed ahead at least
30 feet. The sudden twist wrenched
loose the coupling between the engine
and baggage and mail car, and this saved
the train from the ditch.
No blame appears to he attached to
the towerman Joseph Battle, for the
accident. as he had set the signals in
proper time.

cutions under the antitrust law is other
than as set forth in the message of the

tional statements, as if there were TO be a
new departure and an indiscriminate pros
ecution of important industries. have no

istration is exactly as already stated In
