TOO MANY WRECKS On c, \.
SAYS RAILROAD COMMISSION
Fairchild Makes This Statement Following Accident
Probe at Chatteroy in Which Eight Persons Were
Killed and Wenatchee Fruit Train Went Into the
Ditch-Too Much Boomer Help Employed on Trains

der which might have prevented the
wreck and who failed to grasp the
horror of the impending collision un-
til it was called to his attention by
the conductor of the second section
of No. 451, was discharged by the
company within a week after the ac-
cident.
n. Miles, professional claim ad-
1uster and ex-employe, testified that
the Great Northern was in bad odor
with railroad men on account of hav-
ing SO much boomer" help on it's
trains. These men, he said. only
worked for a few months and then
sought new jobs. He said the rigid
system of past records on the road
resulted in men taking assumed
names and getting "phoney clear
ances,' while the way the good men
were compelled to do "rawhiding''
and the "Wenatchee buck" kept the
best class of help from working for
the Great NortherG.
Miles told of being discharged
from the Northern Pacific for dis
honesty, charge that he said was
trumped up by the bonding company
to gain the confidence of the rail-
roads. Cross-examined by Judge
Fred Brown he admitted that con-
ditions were now much better on the
Great Northern.
c. B. Ferriss, an ex-brakeman,
testified that great many men on
the Great Northern had said in his
hearing that they were going to
blow as soon as they got money
enough, as they were afraid TO go
out on their runs and risk their
necks.
Joseph w. Woolley,, another ex-
employe and present secretary OF the
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen,
swore that the majority of the freight
men on the Great Northern were
boomer help. that the company
broke its agreements and that the
road was in bad repute with its men
Cross examined by Judge Grown, he
admitted that only three or four of
the Great Northern men belonged II
his lodge. 80
Rowing Glass Employed.
Judge Brown asked Inspector Per-
ley regarding freight brakemen and
the latter admitted that they were
rowing class on most roads He
said the Great Northern had big en-
gines, pulled big trains and its ter
minals at Wilson Creek, Leaven-
worth and Skykomish were undesir-
able places of residence These were
some reasons which kept the train
men changing so much. He said the
wreck was caused by the conductor
and engineer of Ash disobeying their
explicit orders.
Walter Clark. assistant superin-
tendent. testified that to supply $50
places, the road hired about 500
freight brakemen a year. but that
only one freight conductor had re-
signed within the year. He showed
seniority list, which was placed In
evidence.

TIC OCEAN
Aeronaut Explains Pro
posed Dirigible Trip to
Be Taken Next Month.

New York. Nov. 30.-The Times
publishes the following statement
from Joseph Brucker of Munich, Ba-
varia, the aeronaut who expects to
cross the Atlantic in dirigible bal
loon early next year.
"Germany's greatest authority in
meteorological and oceanopgraphical
matters, Prof w. Koeppen, of the
imperial nautical station at HAM
burg, publishes in the last issue of
Die Woche an article in which he
criticises Wellman's attempt and
highly indorses my project to cross
the Atlantic in dirigible airship.
The Suchard is nearly completed,
and we shall have a ceremonial chris
tening next month.
The balloon proper is 200 feet
long, its largest diameter measures
so feet AMI its shape is that of fish.
1t will contain $4,000 cubic feet of
hydrogen gas, and a ballonet of 1925,
600 cubic feet.
THE seaworthy motor boat which
we intend to hang on the balloon is
33 feet long and 10 feet wide. 1t
contains two 100-horse power motors
and tanks for 1000 gallons of gaso-
line
Il have now two contrivances I'M
der consideration, which. if they
prove what | expect. will regulate
the expansion of the gas when insult
ated.
"Our Suchard would be good for
nothing as a dirigible airship in Eu-
rope, in America, or over the Allan
tic on Wellman's route. 1t is built
for the special purpose to sail in the
smooth path of the northeast trades.
where We shall not encounter fogs,
headwinds, thunderstorms of hurri-
canes.
1--WE intend to start for the West
Indies early in January and shall be
ready for the flight late in February
or early in March. March is the bes.
month meteorologically, considering
also the weather in the West Indies.
my first plan to start from Cadiz,
Spain, could not be entertained. We
shall start either from the Canary or
the Cape Verde islands. and will try
to land either at Barbados or Trini.

SECTION FOREMAN
DEAD
John Johnson's Death is
Credited to Heavy
Drinking.

Word reached this city last night
of the death of John Johnson. who
has charge of the Great Northern
section just west of Rock Island.
While standing on the depot plat
form Johnson pitched forward and
died in few moments. The re-
mains were brought to this city and
arc at the parlCrs CT the Wenatchee
Undertaking company Undertaken
Nay got into communication this
forenoon with the prosecuting attor-
ney of Douglas county and was in
structed to bury the man without
any inquest as there was no evidence
Of any foul play.
Some seven Or eight days ago
Johnson ran nail in his hand and
went to Leavenworth for treatment
from the Great Northern physician,
DR.. Hoxsey. While in Leavenworth
he drank very heavily and showed
the effects of it on his return to Rock
Island. His death was undoubtedly
due to his own excess. Johnson was
single man and nothing is known
Of his relatives

FISH HATCHERY At
MONITOR
Superintendent of Hatcher
les Says One Will Be 10
Gated in the Spring.

John M. Crawford, general super
intendent of the Washington state
fish hatcheries, is in the city today,
having arrived last evening after
spending several days at Leaven-
worth and Monitor. Mr.. Crawford
stated TO the Daily World today that
ii is the intention of the state fish
commission to locate hatchery on
The Wenatchee river during the next
season. The site has not been def
nitely decided upon but will probab-
~ be in the neighborhood of Mon
itor.
Years ago the state operated a
hatchery at Chiwaukum which was
put in and operated for several
years by Mr.. Crawford. The plant
was abandoned years ago and later
the hatchery buildings were partially
burned. Mr.. Crawford states that
the abandonment of the hatchery at
Chiwaukum was a mistake. for while
the location was not as desirable as
one further down the river, the hat
cherry averaged about six million
spawn.
The royal chinook, the most priced
of salmon, and the silver side, are
peculiar to this section and with the
object of securing as many of the
royal chinook as possible. is the pur-
pose of the new state hatchery. The
new site at Monitor has many advan-
tages over the old one. There is a
state law compelling irrigation COM
panies to screen their intakes, but
this is oftimes difficult, and the new
site will be below the irrigation ditch
intakes and consequently it will be
easy to prevent the young fry from
escaping in the irrigation bitches.
BY the location of the hatchery
lower down the river, it will be easy
to secure all of the salmon which go
up the Wenatchee for breeding pur-
poses. The state made some expert
ments this year al the Lamb Davis
mill at Leavenworth A fishway in
the lumber company's dam was used
as trap and by taking the fish from
the fishway it was an easy matter to
count the number of fish ascen ling
the stream. About 1000 were taken
out of the fish way and released
above the dam. In all probability
about 1000 more were in the stream
below the dam when the flood gates
were opened and a great many fish
passed through the flood gates. 9th
ers spawned lower down the river.
The Investigations made this year
proved conclusively that at least
5000 fish could have been taken for
propagation purposes.

Ommendation.
The qualification of political faith
may not be binding in the president s
selection for the bench, and in view
of this fact Senator Turner, although
a democrat, is stated to stand as
good a chance as a republican. AS
a matter of fact. Senator Turner has
taken small part in politics for the
last five years. and has been an ar
dent defender of the present admin

NEW RUBBER. COMBINE IN CEYLON HAILED AS
 BIG BOOM TO TRADE
Hartford,

Hartford, April 18.-Without ex- ception, all the rubber manufacturers ity, which use large quantity of the crude product annually in automo- bile tires, welcome the news of the formation of a rubber combine in results and no i'll effects from the merger, the principal consequence being the reduction of the market price of rubber in the near future. Said one expert:
 t'By increasing the rubber -produc- reduction in the market price. Para rubber, which is gathered all along the Amazon River, now is about S3 a. pound. This South American rubber cent. with the result that it really costs about S3.45, whereas the price of Ceylon or plantation rubber just now is about $3.10 a pound.
 to grow trees of the South American species in Cey1on, but not until a few years ago did the attempt of the British government to grow this pro- duct in the Malayan Islands amount to anything. One effect will be to clear the atmosphere just as some copper market panics in this coun- try put the copper industry and market on solid and tangible basis. In Ceylon, the rubber is gathered by scientific methods, and means are taken to prolong the lives of the trees which is not the case in South America, where the natives are very wasteful and abusive of the valuable
 This great Cey1on combine is the important event of recent rubber his tory, for it will not only put more rubber on the market, at a reduced price, but it will make it harder to corner the market and harder to speculate in.'

He declared that parishioners had no right to ex- peet their pastor to call sAlpon them more than once a year unless the pastor himself sees fit to do so, and by way of illustration pointed out that because a family donates doughnuts and beans to church supper it caf1- not justly expect the pastor to show them special consideration because of that fact

PRESIDENT TAFT GETS
 HEAVYWEIGHT BELT
 FOR PERSONAL BEAUTY
Especial from United Press )

New York, AprH 18.-Lots of things are being said about President Taft but Robert I. Aiken, the sculptor, is the first to award the Chief Executive the heavyweight championship belt for personal beauty.
 ''I believe the President is the hand somest man in public 1ife,'' said Akin today. After you have looked at him for a few moments you forget his weight and size completely. You are only aware of the impression of strong g repose and determination in his mag nifcent features.
 Akin produced a bust of the Pres ident which will be given in a lot drawing, the winner to present it to the Executive
