Three PERISH IN WRECK
More Than Two Score Others Sustain
INJURIES.

Trenton, Mo-, Jan. Three people,
two Of whom are women, were killed
and at least forty-three injured when
the Rock Island passenger train No. 3,
the "California Special" was wrecked
two miles north of here.
The cause of the wreck is not
known. The engine suddenly jumped
the track, and, blowing through the
Ioadbed, landed upside down.
When the chair car, the tourist and
che first of the Pullman sleepers
reached a point opposite the disabled
engine they left the track and piled
up. The cars at once caught fire
from the engine. The second stand
ard sleeper and the observation car
were practically unchanged.

Northwestern Roads m|u|cted o.,
! Big Sums Annually.
SCHEME WAS EASILY WORKED
Employment Agents Alleged to
j.. Be Leaders in Plot.

! st. Paul, Tee. 31.-That nearly ev'
cry railroad running through the
Northwestern states has suffered from
frauds perpetrated by the employment
agents to the same extent as the
Great Northern is the belief Of those
interested in the investigations being
conducted under the personal direc'
ton of President L. w. Hill Of the
latter road. Special Agent AL Ray
has discovered that Office collision on
the part of a Great Northern emp1oye
made the plots of the labor agents
easy to carry out on that road, but it
is understood that the other com
panies have suffered to great extent
for lack of investigation.
Estimates of the amount Of money
said to have been lost to the North
western railroads through the manip
ulations of certain employment agents
in all parts of the country run as high
as 100000 annually. The past three
or four years have seen much new
railroad construction in the Dakotas,
Montana, Idaho and Washington. In
addition to the new work several mil"
lion dollars have been spent by the
companies in improving the track
beds, laying new rails, stlaightening
curves and other similar work. The
demand for laborers has exceeded the
supply at all times and every appli-
cant who appeared at local employ
ment Office was given transportation
to some point in the Northwest.
Wholesale arrests along the line Of
the Great Northern as far west as Spo-
kane are expected. False pretenscs
and violations of the federal antipass
laws will be the charges laid.
Plan Of Employment Agents.
The plan under which the employ
ment agents are said to have worked
was to secure a contract with the
railroad companies by which the
agent agrees to furnish so many labor
|0rs, usually for track work, which re-
quires only common labor. The agent
does not have to make an examina-
ton Of the man; anybody will do to
work on railroad grade. That makes
It easy for him to accept any person
who enters the Office.
A man who desires to go to Mon
tana for any reason can go to the en-
ployment agent and tell his troubles.
The nearest railroad work is selected
and the man is ostensibly hired to
work for the company at that place.
He is given pass by the agent,
which takes him to the point desig-
mated. After he arrives there he for
gets to appear at the railroad Office
and goes to the point for which he
started. All he paid for his trip was
the Office fee of the employment
agent, which varied with the appli-
cant.
The roads which are the principal
sufferers in the Northwest are the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific, 500
and the st. Paul. Each of these lines
enters the grain fields of Western
Minnesota and the Dakotas. The farm
laborers annually imported to harvest
the crops are hauled by the railroads
and it is estimated that less than 10
per cent of the laborers pay even the
reduced rate put into effect by the
transportation companies.

road Collision.


New York, Dec. 31.-Spencer Trask,
one of the leading fnanciers of the
United States, was killed by freight
train running into the rear of the New

he occupied the drawing room section
at the rear end of the last car.
The accident occurred near Croton,
N. Y. One other passenger was seri-
ously injured and the negro porter of
the sleeping car was ais. severely
hurt.
Mr.. Trask. who was coming into the
city from his home at Saratoga, was
dressing in his compartment when the
freight train plowed into the heavy
passenger train, which is known as
the Montreal express. When his torn
body was removed from the wreckage
it was found that he had only partly
dressed himself.
