AND LANDS IN RIVER.
Boston and Albany Passengers in
Wreck Near Newton, Mass.

Newton, Mass, Sept 2.-The passen-
gers and train crew on the noon ex-
press from Boston for New York over
the Boston and Albany division of the
New York Central railroad narrowly
escaped a serious accident when two
locomotives, the baggage, mail and
smoking cars left the rails on the bank
of the Charles river near the River
side station today.
Although nobody was killed or seri-
ously injured three trainmen a mail
clerk and two or three passengers re-
ceived numerous cuts and bruises
When the engines and the three for
ward cars left the rails the forward
locomotive turned partly on it's side
and the smoking car swung into the
river at a point where the water was
shallow.
Two or three of the occupants of the
smoking car were cut by broken glass
when they tried to escape from the
car by smashing the panes and climb
ing through the windows.
For a short time passenger traffi c
was tied up, but the wrecking crew
speedily cleared the tracks The cars
which had not left the rails were at
tached to another engine and proceeded
| to New York. The cause of the acci-
dent is unknown.
Among the injured was F. H Fur
long. mail clerk who was removed to
/, the Newton hospital. and Mail Clerk
H. E. Sherman and Engineer Reming-
ton. both of whom had their wounds

OF BUREAU OF MINES
President Taft Names Joseph Austin
Holmes, Friend of Pinchot.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 2.-President
Taft tonight announced the appoint
ment of Joseph Austin Holmes of the
geological survey as director of the
new bureau of mines at Washington.
DR.. Holmes had been selected for the
place some time ago, but his appoint
ment was held up, it is understood
here, on the ground that Secretary
Ballinger, under whose department the
new bureau is placed. was opposed to
him. DR.. Holmes is the intimate per-
sonaI friend of Clifford Pinchot. James
r. Garfield and F. H. Newell, director
of the reclamation service. all three of
whom sharply criticized Mr. Ballinger
on the witness stand of the Ballinger-
Pinchot inquiry.
1t was reported here that Secretary
Ballinger felt that he might have had
a hand in what he termed the CON
spiracy'' against him Friends of DIR.
Holmes, while admitting the latter's
close association and friendship with
Messrs. Pinchot. Garfield and Newell.
declared nevertheless that he had tax
en- no active part in the campaign
against Mr.. Ballinger.
The Endorsement of Dr. Holmes for
the place was almost unanimous. 1t
came from the mine opera tors and the
miners organizations alike

While Dixon was in the air the Ble-

was pushed upon the field and the

1000 feet, heading out over the harbor

his second round of the course he
dropped to a height of about 200 feet
and hung close to the markers of the

doctrine of our institutions SO that all
could be understood. Thomas Jeffer-

Abraham Lincoln re-stated this doe
