that the legislature now in special ses-

THIRTEEN PEOPLE
KILLED IN WRECK

Ignacio, Cal, August S.--Thirteen per-
sons were killed and ,at least twelve were
injured tonight when a passenger train
bound from San Francisco to Santa Rosa
on the Northwestern Pacific railway was
struck by a special locomotive and ca
boose south of Ignacio.
Most of the injured were riding in the
smoking car. They were resident OF Pet
aluma, Santa Rosa and other nearby
towns. Several, 1t was reported. were
delegates to the state convention of Red
Men which meets at Santa Rosa tomor-
row.
The wreck occurred at sharp curve.
The passenger train was travelling 40
miles an hour and the locomotive and
caboose were also going at good speed.
At the office of the train dispatcher II
was said that one of the conductors had
made mistake in his orders and failed
to take a siding.
were jerked forward by the setting of
brakes Then there came a terrific I'M
pact and the sound of escaping steam.
The two engines crashed into each other.
The baggage car and the smoking car
were telescoped.
When the dazed passengers made their
way out of the rear coaches unharmed
they heard the shrieks and groans Of the
injured.
The thirty passengers in the smoking
car were caught among broken seats and
splintered timbers, and those who were
not killed were unable to help them
selves.
A few men made their way to the for
ward end of the smoking car where the
greatest damage had been done. Efforts
to open windows or remove the broken
timbers we're fruitlese.
Work on the rear half Of the smoker
was easier Some of the rescuers scat
tered to nearby houses to telephone for
help while others sought to get the In
jured out of the wreck.
A headless corpse was found lying by
the side of the track. Another body was
found in a sitting position in window
of the smoker.

Congressman Clayton of Alabama Is in
the city on departmental business and
is also aiding the democratic Congress
sional committee in its work. Later on
he will engage actively In the Congress
sional campaigns, making speeches in

pressed an opinion that the next House
of Representatives will be democratic
by a good working majority.
He said
Undoubtedly the democrats ought to
succeed in carrying most of the districts
now represented by insurgents, but this
will not fool the people into voting for
insurgent republicans. The democrats
will gain at least two in Maryland, two
in North Carolina, probably one in Vir-
ginia, two in West Virginia, and there
will be many gains made in the west and
middle west as well as the east. The
democrats will carry most of the dis
trcts represented by the insurgent repub-
licans, gain many members in New York
and other eastern states.

The i-prohibitionsts deem these
measures the equivalent of statutory
statewide prohibition. 1t is probable that
the convention platform will simply de-
clare that the Legislature should pass
the fire rating law and adjourn. This
sentiment was expressed not only in the
Colquftt caucus tonight, but in the caucus
of Judge Pondexter. who was the lead

The view was taken by Judge Poindexter,
Senator Bailey and others not to make
any direct reference to the measures be-
cause that would be to commit the party
upon the prohibition question.
