ever and the oldest, boy Of twelve,
had crawled back into the car and
secured large lunch basket which
had been left behind in, his hurried
exit There were a number of anus
ing incidents mixed up with the
more serious.
The story of the broken rail seems
to be disproven from the fact that
the first engine passed over the
track and remained upon the rails.
The second engine left the track and
it is stated now that it was a case of
spreading rail. The cars were all
thrown upon their sides in three
foot bank of snow and it is stated
that there is very little damage done
to the equipment.
The physician who has charge of
the injured persons in Mandan
stated that there was a total, of 68
persons badly injured and who are
in need of medical attendance, but
there are large number of these
who will not be confined to the hos.
pital.
The track was repaired by ten
O'Clock yesterday morning and since
that time trains have been running
about on time. For five hundred
feet the rails and ties were torn hp
and the track completely destroyed.
People who were in the train state
that the railroad officials did every
thing in their power to take care Of
the injured and get them to some
place where they might receive at
tention. Trainmaster Wilson, was
aboard the train and as soon as he
got out of the car started to New
Salem where he secured rigs and
sent them out for the passengers
and injured. There happened to be
a telephone man on the train with
a portable instrument and he climb
ed one of the telephone poles and
cut in a connection and it was this
way that the first news of the wreck
was sent out to the world. The
work of remoaing the debris and
righting the overturned train will
be commenced this morning. 1t is
stated by parties who saw the results
of both accidents that the one at
New Salem and the one at McKen-
zie last year were about the same
in results, both trains being on their
sides and both being protected by
the soft snow along the track.
Pat White, whom it was reported
had broken an arm, suffered nothing
more than sprained hand and some
bruises about the arms. ~
Custer and Highgate, employees of
the N. P. in the dining car service
have both been in one accident be-
fore and both stated this nothing
that it would be 'never againstee for
theirs and that they would Week
some new field of action in tint fu-
ture as they did not want to risk
a result of the third time.
Mrs. A. w. Richmond, of Chippe-
wa Falls, Wis.,, is voted as the
pluckiest woman on the train, as she
was severely injured, having her COL
lar bone broken and some cuts
about the head. It is said that she
never said word nor uttered a com:
plant while she was being taken
from the car and she must have
suffered severely. She is at present
at St. Alexius hospital where she
is resting easily. Her husband is
with her and they will continue their
journey to the west as soon as Mrs.
Richmond's condition will permit.

Two Firms Suspend.
Banks Refuse Advance.

The collapse in the pool today was
brought about priamrily by the re-
fusal of banks to make further ad-
vances on the stock as collateral
and the inability or failure of those
who were long of it to make good
impaired margins. The suspension
of the two firms most vitality con-
cerned was therefore a natural re-
suit. Several individuals also are
said to have lost heavily. In all
about $4,000 shares of Columbus
and Hooking changed hands at a
range of from SSh to rs. The stock
closed at 80, a net loss of san points
The entire market closed weak with
prices at low ebb.
Immediate Investigation.
With the breaking of the pool
there were reports of an immediate
investigation into the operations by
the stoc kexchange authorities. This
was officially denied, but it seems
more than likely that circumstances
will force the exchange to take some
cognizance of the matter.
Keene An Active Agent.
According to common belief,
James R. Keene was active in the
market movement of Columbus and
Hooking. Some of his associates
said, however, that the Keene inter.
est in that stock had been with
drawn some time ago. The pool
had been in existence for about one
year.

HERMANN COMBATIVE
ON WITNESS STAND
Defendant Under CrOSs-Fire of
Prosecutor Heney Is Feel
ing the Strain.

PORTLAND. Or, Feb All through
today, in tho cross examination OF former
Congressman Bnecr Hermann. who is on
trial in the United States district court
here on charge OF conspiracy to de-
fraud the government OF public land.
Prosecutor i, ]. Heney piled the aged
defendant with questions regarding
corning alleged frauds In q Blue Noun
tain reserve and what efforts Hermann
had made while In office 10 ascertain
whether frauds were being perpetrated.
In substance Uermanns answers were
that he had never known that the gov
ernment was being defraudcd in this re-
serve, though he did know THAI there
had been frauds In connection with the
creation OF nearly every other reserve
In Oregon.
Suspicion Not Aroused.
This fact, Hermann declared. had not
excited his suspicion in the Blue Noun
frauds had been perpetratcd in Michigan
and Wisconsin. under the timber and
stone act, cause more than general
once would cheat again:
The subject 10 which Heney devoted
the greatest share of time was the work
ing of the lieu land law. Heney asked II
II were not true that the frauds COM
planned OF under this law occurred while
the investiga ;ion OF the merits OF pro-
posed reserves was In progress The de-
fendant replied in the affirmative, With
this as a groundwork. the prosecutor
asked IL frauds could not have been pre-
vented by temporarily Withdrawing lands
To be embraced within proposed reserves
before the investigation was ordered, In
stead of making the Investigation first
and the Withdrawals atterward, Hermann
responded afiirmatively.
Crossing Of Swords.
Throughout the day there were sharp
exchanges between the defendant and his
interrogator. On one occasion Heney
asked II the reason Hermann said he had
not read an article in a Portland paper:
telling In detail how frauds In school
lands were perpetrated. was in order 10
keep from admitting that he did not
know that there were such frauds. The
defendant half rose from his scat and,
almost shouting, answered that there was
not d word Of truth in such a statement
II don't like your insinuatlons Mr..
Heney," Hermann Numbered. You are
trying TO influence the jury,
Hermann was still on the stand when
court adjourned until tomorrow.

over developments from the hearings on
the Meyer plan OF reorganization OF the

After Secretary Meyer appeared before

one member absent
The committee is not divided along
party lines. 4 mixed number of Repub-
licans and Democrats. headed by Chair

reorganization scheme.
The committee was much wrought up
over reports that the secretary of the
navy was intending to discipline Rear
Admiral Capps, chief constructor OF the
navy. and Rear Admiral Rogers, pay
master general. because OF their testt-
mony before the committee unfaVorable
TO his plan, Admiral Capps and Admiral
Rogers were reluctant To testify before
the committee, but the committee. how
ever. desired 10 hear them, and both Of
fcers gave their statements.
Members of the committee did not con-
ceal their indignation today that any one
should attempt TO discipline one OF their
witnesses. The committee asserts its
rights to call a naval officer before II
and compel him to answer any questions
regarding the service.
1t was reported that the secretary was
asked to withdraw his plan and adopt
the Neberry plan. which was asserted to
be the ''plan OF the committee"
This move was complete surprise to
the secretary. it Is said, and he declined
to agree to 1t.

'sOLD GUARD" CLOSELY
ON WATCH IN SENATE

WASHINGTON. Feb. mo chances
are being taken by the cold Guard -
in the senate in the matter of filing
committee vacancies. The committee
on committees met today to select a
Republican for the committee on civil
service and retrenchment, of which Sen
ator Cummins is chairman. Senator
Borah wanted the assignment, and
Chairman Cummlns had expressed de
sire that he be named.
Examining the personnel, 1T was
found that Senator LaFollette already
is on the committee with Mr.. Cummlns
and appointment of Mr.. Borah, whom
some people think has "insurgent
proclivities, would give the 'tinsur-
gents' a majority of the Republicans,
as there are only five Republicans in
committee.
Senator Borah was put through an
examination, in which he declined to
state where he stood on the question of
pensions for superannuated government
employees and on other questions with
which the committee has to deal, He
also asserted with considerable force
that he was not member of any fac
ton, and that he did not care to be
interrogated in any such manner,
No good excuse for rejecting Mr..
Borah was found. and since there was
some doubt as to what faction might
get his support on important questions,
it was decided to increase the Repub"
lican members to seven. New members
will be Senators Borah, Smoot and
Dixon. The membership of Senators
Perkins and Lodge gives the CIRCULARS -
undisputed control of the committee.
