Alabama, who will be made chairman
of the ways and means committee in
the probable event of the democrats

democratic congressional nominees and
is enthusiastic over the outlook for
democratic success in the fall elections.
"Gaynor, 1 believe. will undoubtedly
be nominated for governor of New
York If he is willing to accept the
nomination." said Mr. Underwood to-
night. And L think 1t Is not an extrava-
giant statement to say that he will car

that can arise that will enable the re-
publicans to elect a governor of New

said Mr.. Ryan, land on entering the din

see DR.. Cook his wife. son and daughter,

at disguise. He wore his moustache

bilities that Massachusetts may send
democrat to the Senate in place of
Henry Cabot Lodge. The nomination
of Woodrow Wilson in New Jersey
has met with popular approval and the
chances of his election as governor of
New Jersey are more than even. 1 do
not believe there is a place in the
eastern states where the fall elections
win not show democratic gains.
"As to the House of Representatives
there is no question about the next
House being democratic by a good.
safe majority. Everything points to
our gaining enough new democratic
members from the eastern states alone
to overcome the present republican
majority. In as rock-ribbed a republi-
can state as Pennsylvania every indi-
cation points to the democrats gaining
four or five additional members of Con-
gress. The republican party promised
the country a revision of the tariff two
years ago. They failed completely to
comply with their promises and 1t is
evident that the people of the country
intend to place the revision of the tar

before their bodies could be recovered.
Passengers in the Pullman and 9TH
er day coaches, hurled from their
berths and chairs by the shock, hur-
ried out into the storm and gave what
assistance they could to the injured
and in extracting the bodies.
Within half an hour physicians and
nurses were being taken to the scene
from Norton and Goodland, Kas., and
Phillipsburg.
1t was not until late this afternoon,
however, that the last body was re-
covered from the wreck.

but escaped injury.
The train was running practically on
time and was proceeding on a straight
stretch of track. Evidently the first In
timation that the engineer had of any
danger came when he realized that the
forward portion of the train was run
ming in water, which had spread out over
the tracks near the fill. Reversing his
engine, the engineer checked the speed
of the train, but could not prevent the
engine baggage car and the smoker
going over into the depression.
The rear end Of the smoker remained
tilted on the earth bank and the chair
car ripped its way into the smoker
smashing 1t and killing or injuring many
passengers.
So far as can be learned here tonight
all of the passengers killed were occu-
pants of the smoker.

neer Peckenpaugh, who lost his life, is
attributed the saving of the lives of
those who escaped, numbering hun

It is certain that he could have jumped
and saved himself, but he remained at
his post and did everything possible to
prevent the train running into the ditch.
Examination of the engine and airbrakes
show that he had reversed the lever and
set the air in an effort to check the

Bill Of Morals.

Eddyville, KY, Dec. 81. (Special.)
Another quartet of defendants
were acquitted here today of the muir
der of Axiom Cooper at Lamasco.
The men acquitted were Spunk Cree
muir, Villas Mitchell. Roy Merrick
and Fred Murphy. This jury was re-
lected from .Crittenden county. and
despite the dying statement of Coop
er and the testimony OF eye witness
es, duplicating them, and the fren-
zied oratory of Denny p. Smith, COM
monwealth's attorney. the jury found
them all not guilty.
The killing took place at Lamasco,
the capital of Night Riderdom, at a
barbecue. The states contention
was that bogus row was started to
involve Cooper in the trouble, for
the purpose of killing him, because
he talked too much about what he
knew of the night riders. He was
tenant of Milton oliver, who was
wounded from ambush. after he had
turned states evidence.
