tossed from the rails nearly fifteen feet
and turned completely over on it's side.
The force of the shock literally raised
the car in the air, and as it fell on
it's side two heavy telegraph poles
were brought tc the ground crushed
against the front end of the car.
Freight Train Derailed
The rear car of the backing freight
was derailed and two other cars piled
about, the wreckage of the cars and
the scattered lumber covering an area
100 feet square.
For a time all was confusion, and
in the utter darkness the grinding of
the iron of the wrecked cars, the
shrieks and agonized cries of the in
jured made a weird scene for the few
spectators who witnessed the crash.
1t was several minutes before the
passengers on the car, estimated at
fifty were able to extricate themselves,
and not for an hour was the extent
of the injuries obtained.
It was reported late last night that
one or two of the passengers were miss
ing and might be buried beneath the
debris of lumber and wreckage. but
this report was not verified, and will

Million Dollars Is Report

ST. LOUIS. March SIT is reported
here that the ST. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad is perfecting financial
scheme to consolidate the Colorado
Southern, New Orleans & Pacific and
allied lines and the st. Louis, Browns
vile G. Mexico and the progress of the
adjustment is such as to warrant an
official announcement in few days.
The transaction will approximate
S3O, ,OOO, 900.
The st. Louis, Brownsville & Mex
leo was acquired recently by the Frisco
from a st. Louis syndicate. The Colo
RADIO Southern, New Orleans & Pacific
was built by the Frisco and always
was part of the system.
The st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
and the Colorado Southern, New Or
leans & Pacific will become part of
the Frisco system proper and they will
constitute the New Orleans, Texas &
Mexico division. The bonds on these
properties will be guaranteed by the
Frisco.
Negotiations are pending with the
Mexican government and the National
Railways of Mexico for the construc-
ton of a new line paralleling the coast
of the Gulf of Mexico from Matamoras,
opposite Brownsville, to Tampico and
Mexico City.
With the Matamoras-Tampic line
completed there will be a continuous
gulf coast route from New Orleans,
Houston and Brownsville to Tampico.
BY the Brownsville route the distance
from ST. Louis to Mexico City will be
reduced about 200 miles.

ROOT ASSUMES
TAFT'S MANTLE
TAKES CHARGE OF REPUBLIC
ANS IN NEW YORK
Officials on Choice of Success.

Remains Silent
Associated Pressl

ALBANY, N. Y, March S.-United
States Senator Elihu Root, presumably
rejecting the wishes of President Taft.
has taken active charge of the critical
situation in the Republican party in
New York state.
Tonight, on the eve of a conference
of Republican senators, called to elect
a temporary president of the senate,
to succeed Senator JothaIn p. Aids,
who is charged by Senator Conger with
accepting bribes, Senator Root sent
a telegram to State Senator Frederick
M. Davenport, advocating the candi-
dacy of Senator Harvey ID. Hinman OF
Binghamton, a staunch supporter of
the policies of Governor Hughes, as
against Senator George A. Davis of
Buffalo, and Senator George H. Cobb
of Watertown, both regarded as OPP
posed to Governor Hughes policies.
The governor has given no public
expression of opinion on the question
of leadership, but is known to have
favored the election of Senator Hin
man. He expressed satisfaction to-
night at Senator Roots action.
The telegram fell like a bombshell
in the Cobb and Davis camps.
Senator Hinman was one of the
seven so-called insurgent senators
who refused to sanction the election
of Senator Aids as president pro tenn.
Senator Roots telegram read, in
part, as follows:
"The selection of Senator Hinman
is plainly indicated as the only course
which will present the Republican par
ty to the people of the state in true
light. will correctly exhibit the real
relation of the party as a whole to
the principles and policies for which
Governor Hughes stands and Will
rightly represent the wishes of the
voters of the party"

Joined him q few hours later and the
young son of the secretary of state
and his new wife Immediately left
for Providence. To all appearances,
the hoped for "Bless you, my children" f"
was not forthcoming.
Young Knox was discovered in the
lobby of hotel after he had been to
interview his father. The young man
slipped into town with DR.. French,
principal of the Morris Heights school,
who went with him to break the news.
The small army of photographers
and reporters that had been storming
the Union station was so intent on
finding a blonde young woman with d
red feather in her hat that they over
looked young Knox entirely.
DIR. French and his pupil hurried to
the Knox home in K street. After
the parental interview DIR. French
bolted for train and Knox went to
a hotel and telegraphed his wife to
come to him. Young Mrs. Knox ar
rived in two hours and gave evidence
of feeling as though they had been
separated whole week.

Providence young Knox was quite

PACKERS BLAMED
FOR HIGHER COST
Farmers Also Credited with Boosting
Meat Prices, One Witness Say

WASHINGTON. March S.-Retail
meat dealers today placed upon the
farmers and the packers responsibility
for the higher price of meat in testt-
mony given before the senate commit
tee Investigating the increased cost Of
living.
Five retail men from New York.
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton were heard, and Walter Brown, a
Washington dealer who kills his own
meat, was the only one who did not
admit that the price of meat had gone
up at least 10 per cent during the
last five years.
Each witness vigorously denied the
retailers were responsible for prevail
ing prices, and none would admit that
any agreement on prices existed
among them. While no one charged
that the packers were in a combina-
tion, all witnesses who had dealings
with them declared there seemed to
be no competition for retail trade.
John Rohlman, who conducts
market in New York city, told the COM
tailers in New York was so keen that
they had been unable to keep pace with
the steadily increased prices.
Asked by Senator Simmons why the
retailers had not added something to
the price to the consumer to cover
this increased expense for help and
rent, the witness said:
THE merchants in New York city
are being crushed to the wall by the
wholesalers, who represent the pack

GOVERNMENT REPORTS
CAUSE WHEAT ADVANCE

CHICAGO, March S.--Wheat prices
advanced 21-S cents to rs cents here
today on a furry created by the gov
ernment report on farm reserves,
which showed a considerable shortage
in the amount OF wheat still on the
farms compared with general execu-
tions.
From a low point of $1101-S May
sold up to $1.f2, while July advanced
from 81 5s 3-S to $1.05 SIS.
According to the government sta
tistics, which were made public only
few minutes prior TO the closing of the
market here, the total amount of
wheat of last years crop still in
farmers hands is estimated at ia, 3,344,-
900 bushels. while the trade in general
was figuring on about $4,000, 900 bush
els.
Prices shot up rapidly after the pub
lication of the report, but declined
again almost as quickly when it was
seen that the big traders failed to be
excited over the shortage. Prices at
the close, however, were still 1-2 to
7-S to 2 cents above yesterdays final
figures, May being at SLIP 1-s and July
at $1.05 1-a

BALLOT MAY NOT SPORT
SILK AGAIN THIS YEAR
Keene'S Game Horse Comes Out
of Saratoga Handicap
with Bad Leg

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-James R.
Keene's Ballot, winner of the Suburban
of 1908 and one of the best horses who
has borne the silks of the Keene stable
in many a year, is on the shelf for this
season at least.
Ballot came out of the Saratoga
handicap, in which he was beaten by
Olambala last Thursday. with an abra-
sion on his near fOreleg. He did not
appear to be very sore when he went
to his stable, but the injured leg was
badly swollen Friday, and his trainer
has not been able to get him on the
track since.
1t is. accordingly. announced there is
no possibility of an attempt to race
him again this year. This means that
Ballot must pass the Saratoga cup and
the Saratoga weight for age race in
which he was to have met Olambala
and Fitzherbert. and at a mile and a
quarter at Louisville.
Whether Ballot will come to the post
again next season his trainers cannot
say. They do not know yet exactly
what ails the stout chestnut. He may
have a bowed tendon or his injury may
be due to a kick. Since Ballot is now
years old, it is possible Mr.. Keene may
decide to retire him to the stud.
