The westbound Overland limited on
the st. Paul road and the east bound
fast train were ordered to pass at
Keystone. A freight train on the
siding prevented the eastbound pas
senger train from pulling on the
switch. The passenger train had run
past the station and was ready to
back onto the siding when the Over,

miles an hour, crashed into it,. Both
engines were reduced to mere scrop
iron and the mail, baggage and chair

TAfTs OFFICIAL
ATTITUDE DEFINED
Endeavors to Bring Solid Support
to Progressive Measures.
He HAS THREATENED NO ONE
Agreement Reached That Caucus Shall
Pass Upon Question Of Commit
tee to Investigate Interior
Department.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Here is Pres.
ident Taft's official attitude toward
the insurgents" In congress, both az
president and as titular head of the
Republican party.
The president has been laboring
earnestly to bring the insurgents"
and regulars" together In support Of
the progressive measures promised by
the Republican platform of 1908. He
has not threatened to Withhold patron
age from any 'insurgent" on account
of his action on the tariff bill or his
vote with respect to the speakership
or rules.
BY custom Of the party, the recon-.
mendations of Republican senators
and congressman as to local officers
have been given conclusive weight II
the recommendation were of persons
fitted to discharge their duties, and,
under these circumstances, in the
view of the president, it becomes nee
essary for him, in following that Gus
tom, to determine who are Republi.
cans and who are not.
Regards All as Republicans.
In making that choice it can be said
fatty men who have voted against
the tardiff bill, who have voted against
the speaker, who have voted against
Cannon in respect to the rules and
who are called insurgents" the pres
ident regards as Republicans still, be-
cause they were elected as such.
The president has only said that
where a man, elected as a Republican
is taking steps to defeat the legisla-
ton recommended by him in the per-
Torrance of party promises, he Is no
longer a Republican, and to give
weight to his recommendations for
patronage would be to furnish him
means in the future of defeating the
administration policies.
The president is threatening no one
with a view to undue support of legis-
lation; he is only declining to furnish
means for defeating his legislative
purposes by following the recommen-
dations of men who recognize no obli-
cation to the party of which the pres
ident is the titular head.
Factions Reach Agreement.
From the White House has come
this statement: ~. '".
1T has been agreed between the
regular Republicans and the So
called insurgents represented by
Mr.. Dwight on the one hand and Mr..
Hayne, on the other, after conferences
with the president, that a caucus
should be held to pass upon the ques-
ton of the committee in the interior
department investigation, with the as.
surance that the insurgents if they
came into the caucus, would be treat
ed fairly and that a committee Of ac-
knowledged impartiality would be APP
pointed.
"A further agreement was foreshad-
owed that caucuses should be held
from time to time to which all men,
bers elected as Republicans should hs
invited to take up the various meas.
ures recommended by the administra-
ton as performances Of party pledges,
the subject of each caucus to be an
nounced in advance"

Two OF the worst coasting accidents
ever happening in Burlington occur
red last night, causing the death of
one young man and seriously injuring
twelve other people, while some TWEEN
ty others received bad bruises. ..,
The dead: EARL EMERSON.
The first accident occurred when

of double hill, four persons being
seriously injured.
The injured are: Miss Ruth Rogers,
hip dislocated; Harold Kelley, leg
broken; Herbert Hokamp, sprained
leg; Miss Vera Wilson, cut and
bruised. .-..
A number of others were badly
bruised. The accident occurred at
the foot of Valley street, the sleds
coming from opposite sides and meet
ing with terrific force, throwing the
occupants in all directions, where
they lay scattered about grooming in
agony until ambulances arrived to
assist them home or to the hospitals.
In the second coasting accident
twelve or fifteen young people were
more or less seriously injured, one or
two of whom may die. Seven have
broken limbs and are in a precarious
condition.
The injured are: Clarence Leidig,
side of face crushed; Miss Wiele both
legs broken; William Satler, several
bones broken; A. Peterson, knee brok,
en-; John Nelson, injured internally;
Louis Hanney, leg broken.
A heavily loaded bob-sled was beip g
drawn up Osborn hill by an automo,
bile when another crowded bob, rush
ing down the hill, crashed into the
first sled, managing and bruising ev-
cry occupant Of both hobs.
AT least twenty young people were
piled up in the mass OF injured ones
and none escaped injury.
Those named above were the most
seriously hurt and are in a precari.
GUS condition at the hospitals A
number of the injured ones were able
to walk home. This, with the acci.
dent earlier in the evening, makes
eight persons with broken bones and
cut bodies as the result of coasfIng
accidents, while probably twenty more
are badly bruised.

TO BOYCOTT MEAT
/. FOR THIRTY DAYS
Cleveland Manufacturers Start
Movement to That End.
AGO OFFICERS PLEDGE SELVES
VIII Endeavor TO Induce 1000 EN-
ployes to Dispense with AMI.
! NAL Food for a Like
Period.

Cleveland, o., Jan. Flour hun
dred and sixty superintendent anc
foremen of 21 of the largest manufac
uring concerns of this city have
pledged themselves to aid in a genera
boycott on meat for 80 days.
In addition to agreeing to do with
out meat themselves, the superintend
ents and foremen have promised to in
duce as many as possible of the 1000
employees under them to dispense with
the food for the same period. II the
employees enter into the pact, approx
mately 10000 Clevelanders will 4ab
stain from meat during the next
month.
The pledge is effective to-day. The
anti-meat action was taken at meet
ling of the superintendent and Fore
mems club, in which practically every
manufacturing plant of the city is rep
resented.
The pledge follows:
l. We, as wage earners, are willing
to assist both the state and the mum
cipalities in probing into the high cost
of living, particularly the cost Of
meats, which is prohibitive.
2. This agitation can best become
defective by refraining from eating
meat for a period Of 80 days.
3. II this does not bring the price Of
meat within the means Of poor people
then we will refrain from eating meal
for 60 days.
4. We, citizens, do hereby ask oul
representatives in each councilman'f
district and the legislative bodies tc
keep this agitation uppermost in theiI
minds and actions until the result
manifests itself.
5. We ask the cooperation of all per
sons who are interested in fair play
and the future Of our otherwise pros
porous country.
6. This self-denial to take effect
January II and continue henceforth.
The signers of the pledge point Out
that, while most Americans eat meat
at least once day and often three
times a day. poor people of other coun
tries consider meat luxury, while the
well-to-do are content to eat meat once
day at the most.

The heavy rains of the week have
sent the streams of the county bank
full and flood conditions have been
reached at places. The water that
fell and melted from the accumula-
tons of snow drained rapidly into
the streams and but for the falling of
the temperature which checked the
thawing, the rivers would have all

GET GANG WITH STOLEN GOLD
Six Men and a Woman Are Locked in
Jail in San Francisco.

San Francisco Dec. 13.-Six men and
woman are locked up in the city
prison here on orders of the United
States secret service bureau and the
local police believe they are responsible
for the theft of $4,000 in bullion
from shipment of gold aboard the
steamer Humboldt on September IL.
Gold bars valued at approximately
$1,000 have been recovered by the au-
thorities. Papers found among the
effects of two of the prisoners show
that $1,000 worth of the gold has been
sold.
Those under arrest are E. C. Smith
and his wife, J. T. Woodson and his
brother, G. M. Woodson, and three
whose names the police have not di-
vulged.
The gold has been identified as the
product of the Tanana district on the
Yukon, in Alaska, and it was from a
consignment of this bullion, valued at
$170,000, slowed away in the treasury
vaults of the steamer Humboldt that
the theft was committed.

GREAT AMOUNT OF OPIUM
FOUND ON THE MINNESOTA
Also Number of Chinese Stowaways
Caught When Big Steamer
Arrived at Seattle.

Customs officers searching the Great
Northern steamship Minnesota Satur-
day discovered $4,000 worth of opium
hidden.
Customs officers at this port were
notified before the Minnesota arrived
last week that she was carrying 90
Chinese stowaways and $4,000 worth
of opium, and consequently when the
big ship arrived close watch was kept
on her.
The first fruit of this vigilance was
reaped Saturday, when First officer T.
Cheetham walked down the gangplank
and handed bundle to Dock Watch
man Edward Robson. Customs officers
at once seized the bundle, opened it,
found it contained $40 worth of opium,
and arrested both the men.
A great syndicate, with headquarters
in Hongkong, is believed to make reg
ular shipments of opium and Chinese
to Seattle and San Francisco.

Important Decision Rendered.

Judge DIETRICH of the United States
district court for Idaho has just rem
dered decision which will affect the
school funds of every state in the
northwest if sustained by the higher
courts. The case is one which was
brought as test as to whether states
could sell the timber on school sections
16 and SO, where the territory had not
been surveyed, and was brought against
the Boomers Ferry Lumber company,
which purchased some of this timber.
Judge DIETRICH holds that the timber
can not be sold for the school fund
on such sections until they are sur
yeyed.
