sootIessers Hit Again.

Another attack upon bootleggers
and druggists who practice the Illicit
sale OF Intoxicating liquors was made
by Representative Beebe of Franklin
when he introduced in the house a
concurrent resolution urging the Iowa
representatives and senators In con-
gress to use their efforts to pass laws
prohibiting the issuance of govern
ment liquor permits to those who are
not authorized by the state laws to
engage in liquor traffic.
According to the resolution, the
special government taxes for manu-
featuring or selling liquors are i'm
posed without reference to the legal
right of the holders of government
permits to sell or manufacture intox-
icants under the laws Of the states
in which they reside. This policy in
terferes seriously with the enforce
ment of the state laws. 1t is the In
tent Of the resolution to persuade the
Iowa members Of the national con.
gress to use their influence to bring
about modification of the federal
laws which will improve these condi.
lions.

BILL BEFORE SENATE
Would Regulate Operations Of
Fraternal insurance Concerns
PRoUDFooT FATHER OF BILL
Opposition Led by Adams of fayette,
Declares Officers Are Too Ex-
travagant With Companies
Funds.

Des Moines.-The senate has under
consideration the Proudfoot bill re-
vising the laws of the state regulat-
ing the operation of fraternal insur-
ance companies. This is considered
the most important piece of propos-
ed insurance legislation before the
legislature.
The object of the bill is to gradu.
ally bring about an increase in rates
of the fraternal company. the claimed
object being to put the fraternal
companies on a higher and paying
plane.
Following Senator Proudfoot, Sem
ator Adams Of Fayette charged that
any statement to the effect that the
fraternal men of the state were al
most unanimous in support of the
bill, was in error. 1T is probably
true that most Of the officers OF
these companies are for this bill, but
1t is not true that the men who fur
nish the money, the premium payers,
are demanding the passage of this
INPiCoChI OhC vi thC premium
payers. The trouble with the frater-
nal companies Is that the officers are
too extravagant. II you want evidence
Of this, Just go over town some day
and walk up Seventh street and see
the magnificent buildings - monu-
ments to the extravaganza CT the fra
ternal officers. Then, too, look at
the automobiles of the officers-mov-
ing monuments Of their extravaganza
with honkhonks on them. 1t is tSese
things that we premium payers csnr
slider when the officers tell us In .
demand for such legislation as this,
that unless the rates are increased
the companies can not live. Senator
Saunders, formerly director In a
fraternal company, declared his friend
Illness to the bill and asserted that
charges to the effect that officers Of
fraternal companies FILTERED away
the funds of the organizations in use
less expenditures, were unwarranted.
He averred that 1t is necessary for
the fraternal companies to Increase
their rates II they are to live.

Was Train on Which President
Travelled

Washington, D. c., July 11.-News
of the dreck of the Federal Express
was received in Washington with
more than common interest, not only
because Washington residents were
included among the victims, but be-
cause of President Taft using. this
train many times during the year.
Or his various trips to Beverly to
New Haven and other points in the
east, the Presidents car is generally
attached to the Federal Express,
leaving here at p. m. and circling
Manhattan Island by ferry. The Pres
ident has not been in or near an &C
cident during his many trips through
out the country and heretofore it has
not been thought necessary that I'M
usual precautions should be taken on
the double track roads of the East
and Central West when he travelled
The wreck of the Federal Express,
however, caused a distinct shock at
the White House and it is likely when
the President goes to Boston or Bev-
erly a pilot engine will precede the
train to which his car is attached

Bridgeport. Conn. July II.-Many
lives, probably twelve. were crushed
out instantly aud sixty or seventy
persons were injured frightfu!ly when
the Federal Express. running from
Washington 10 Boston over the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road, vas hurled over a viaduct here
by an open switch. Fire broke out
IN the wreckage. adding to the tor

extinguished the flames. The Are
men assisted in rescuing the injured.
Ambulances, carrying doctors, hur-
ried TO the scene and did their best
10 save those under the debris.
The train was going at high rate
OF speed when an open switch. mile
and a half west OF Bridgeport, was
struck
The switch was near the tower.
There was tremendous crash, an In
slant Of intense silence, then the
groans and shrieks of the wounded.
The wreck was almost complete,

duct and only three cars of the long
train being left on the track. The
engine, twisted into junk was two
hundred feet away. Behind were
mail and baggage cars, while the
Pullmans and baggabe coaches were
in a mass in the rear. The day
coaches were entirely crushed. 1t
was in these that most of the deaths
occurred. Three Pullmans were al
most completely crumpled up, but
i. the passengers in them were protect
ed somewhat because of the Pull
mans strength.
In the wreckage of the engine was
found a body, thought to be the en-
gineer, who died at his post. A babe
about a year old was found in one
car. 1t was alive and had become
separated from its mother. In an
other coach a woman was taken out
alive but her child was dead under
her.
OF the one hundred passengers that
went down with the first six cars, one
escaped death or injury. Sixteen
bodies have been taken out Of
the twisted wreckage by noon, in
Guiding the engineer and fireman,
who were so mutilated that it is evil
dent they must have met instant
death.
This probably will complete the
death list: FortyfOur injured are in
hospitals and a score or more re-
ceived injuries not severe enough to
prevent them from continuing their
! journey.
