The wrecking crew from Fort wayrs
arrived at the scene within half an hour.
while the wrecking trains from Crest.

evening. Thirty more passengers who
are badly bruised and cut are a, thu

Several Of the injured at a late hon,

will occur before morning.
Evidence seems 10 point to the far,

the chief cause Of the accident. From
Valparaiso to Winona Lake the engine
which brought the train out Of Chicago
was going badly, so the engine which
was 10 take the train from Fort Wayne
to Crestline was sent TO Winona Lake
TO meet the Uyer.
The two engines were then coupled
together and the double-header brought
the train toward Fort Wayne at seventy
or eighty miles an hour. Just east o,
the western city limits switch was
constructed 10 swing trains from the
regular main track to another track.
This change in routing was made neces.

the vestibule between the diner and

crash came and were unable TO escape
from their narrow prison. Their cries
attra cted the rescuers, who. under ths
direction Of Police Sergeant Kints, be-

Of the men inside the car the rescuers
finally cut away a sufficient section n

BY a peculiar coincidence this ssms

To-night's wreck marked the fourth
accident that has occurred since the
Pennsylvania eighteen hour train was
placed in service, in June, 1903. The
first smashup occurred at Mineral Point,

westbound train was derailed. Some OF
the passengers were injured, but mona

Cured near Hamilton, Penn. where the

NEW PLAN FOR CAVALRY.-The re-
turn OF Major General William II. Carter 10
washington from his tour as commanding
officer OF the maneuvre division at san
Antonio will probably serve to bring up
in the General staff the all important ques-
ton of cavalry reorganization. General
Carter was formerly an officer OF the
mounted arm and he has retained his keen
interest in that branch. He relieves Cen
eral Arthur Murray as assistant to the
chief Of staff. and naturally he will have
much influence in the reorganization OF the
cavalry, concerning which there Is great
amount of conflicting opinion.
While General Carter was In Texas he
improved the opportunity TO have made
practical tests Of cavalry organization. one
Of the regiments was divided into two pro-
yisional regimental commands, having first
been brought up to war strength by trans
fers from other commands AS result OF
that experience General Carter has filed
report recommending for trial the rear
rangement Of present cavalry regiments
He would have the regiment consist Of
three active squadrons OF three troops.
each troop with an authorized strength OF
would have include the machine gun de-
tachrnent a wireless communication de-
tachment, trained scouts, orderlies, etc.
Wireless communication is coming to be an
adjunct OF the mounted troops and il is
proposed to develop that feature Two of
the troops in each regiment are to have
fixed stations and to become the source OF
supply of recruits and animals for the rest
of the regiment which may be I'm the field.
Those commands will be known as depot
troops. the officers Of which will be en-
gagged in recruiting. The depot troops will
be commanded by the lieutenant colonel.
one Of the important conclusions reached
nv General Carter as a result OF his OBJ
servations in Texas is that the skeleton
organization Of regiments, filed with re-
cr7,its on the eve Of active service, "is
about the worst possible form OF economy"
Regiments under the system arc reduced
greatly I'm efficiency and their morale Is
nut i'm danger It was mistake. OF course,
Il Is nov, realized. 10 have sent 10 Texas so
many raw recruits, men who were with
ont training General Carter formally pro
tested against the appearance In Texas or
so many recruits. sent there Immediately
on enlistment, but it was done in an effort
IN hiring I'D TO war strength the commands

border. It being apprehended at that time
that there would be military activity.

|ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Naval Personnel Bill Dead IN
Present Session.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL DEAD-An
hope OF obtaining relief for the naval per
sonnet ~ legislation along lines suggested
by the Navy Department has practically
been abandoned The House Naval COM
mittee is apparently determined to frame
its own personnel bill without consulting
the naval authorities. and TO make radical
changes in the existing system. the enect
of which may be 10 produce a chaotic CON
dition in the service.
Some time ago the President sent to CON
gress, with special letter of Endorsement
the draft OF the bill now pending before the
House Naval Committee Question at once
arose as to the expense involved II the
measure were enacted. The supposition
was that II would not mean In the end
greater expense for personnel maintenance
than the cost Of the existing system anu
there would be an avoidance OF the stagha-
ton in promotion now confronting com
missioned officers.
The naval committee has called on the
Navy Department for statistics. These
have been submitted, showing that the ui-
innate cost will be much less than X Is
now. The Navy Department will also, at
the beginning of the next session, send In
a draft of the bill providing for the ANAL
gamation Of the pay and construction corps
with the line. That bill will require ma
terial amendment of the original personnel
bill. and some officers regard the TWO
measures as so conflicting and confusing
as to put IN jeopardy the entire PROPOSE
ton. II has been decided by the chairman
OF the House Naval Committee to take up
no legislation until the next regular ses-
sion. which begins in December and theh
only after the regular naval appropriation
bill is out Of the way.
II IL expected that the House Naval COM
nittee will frame It's own bill for the rehet
Of the naval personnel. One OF the propo-
stions is TO reduce the number or ofncefs
in some of the grades, notably that or cap
tain. It Is also proposed to place some re-
strictions on retlrements, either by reduc-
ing the percentage of pay for those on the
retired list or prohibiting the promotion OF
officers who are retired. as in the case or
those retired who are either 'plucked' or
who volunteer for retirement at the end OF
the fiscal year.
