BRAKES FAIL AND GASOLINE
CAR is WRECKED
PASSENGERS IRE INJURED
b. W. Riggs, Engineer, Saves Car
from Burning and Averts
Further Disaster

At about IL o'clock Saturday
morning word reached this city that
the Southern Pacific gasoline motor
car, due to arrive here at IL o'clock,
had collided with passenger train
No. Is, south bound out of Grants
Pass at Crater Lake Junction, about
one mile this side Of Medford.
The Courier's leased wire was at
once put In operation in al endeavor
to ascertain full particulars of the
accident. 1t developed that the mo-
tor car, in charge of Conductor Will
Taylor, with w. B. Riggs, mot,r-
man, was to meet No. IS at the Junc-
tion. The motor was drifting down
grade and as the brakes were applied
the brake hanger broke and the car
shot forward toward the train stand
ing on the main track. The motor
man, realizing that nothing would
prevent collision whistled tu En-
glneer Anderson of No. II to back
UP, which he started to do, but the
compact came before headway was
gained. The shock threw Mr. Riggs
forward against the end Of the car
and thea backward and in moment
he was covered with debris. The
passengers, numbering so or fore,
were throw forward in heaps and
the seats were wrenched from their
places.
The gasoline Immediately set fire
to the car and Engineer Riggs jump
ed out of a window and crawled
under the burning car and shut off
the gasoline feed pipe to prevent the
flames from reaching the supply
tank. In doing this his hair was
nearly or quite burned from his head
and he received many burns, but his
action without doubt saved the pass
engers from horrible death by fire
as they were unable, in the confu-
sion, to get out of the car.
All of the passengers were badly
shaken up and many OF them were
severely cut and bruised. Parties
from Medford, Gold Hill and Seattle
whose names could not be learned
were badly injured.
The wrecked car. was brought tc
Grants Pass in the afternoon, and II
will require rebuilding before It car
be again used. Motorman Riggs |:
deserving of much credit for the hero
ism displayed in saving the lives o.
his passengers by his devotion t
duty.

40 TONS MACHINERY
FOR AMERICAN BELLE

Fred T. Osborne, secretary and
manager of the American Belle Min
ing company, was in the city the

saw mill outfit, In all about 40 tons,
which Is expected to arrive at Grants
Pass in May. Much of the machin-
cry was ordered In San Francisco,
but a portion of 1t could not be sup
piled on the coast on account of the
advance orders already placed with
manufacturers.
The equipment will include three
No. giants and 1t Is expected to
run three shifts A small force Of
men has been at work on the prop
erty doing development work, but It
will be increased as soon as material
to work with has arrived. Six miles
of road must be constructed from
Holland in order to haul the machin-
cry to the mine Then the saw mill
will be erected to saw enough ma
terial for the construction Of three
miles of flume of sufficient size to
carry 1000 miners inches of water
1t is the intention to rush the
construction work as fast as pos
sible in order to be able to operate
the property the coming season.

SURVEYORS In FIELD
CAUSE RAILROAD RUMOR

Railroads and rumors of railroads
fill the air, and II Hill representatives
are not in this city then the great
majority of the knowing ones have
another big guess coming. A pers.s-
tent rumor Is afloat to the effect that
Hill representatives arrived in the
city last night and are in the country
today. This, coupled with the ar
rival of a good-sized squad of survey
ors from the south this morning has
made speculation red hot as to what
Is going on. However, nothing au,
thentic regarding the Hills or their
intentions can be run down
e. ]. Bowen and Mr.. Chaplin Of
the Grants Pass & Rogue River rail-
way company arrived from Portland
last night and are In consultation
with their superintendent OF construc-
tion and local representatives this
afternoon. In an interview Mr..
Bowen said:
80 far as the Hills are concerned
! know nothing. We came down last
night from Portland and will return
tonight, though we had hoped to
stay longer, but | have just received
telegram that made this impossible.
We find things here progressing fine
ly and could not expect them to be
better. Railroad people and every
one else up and down the line are
talking Grants Pass, and Portland
people are doing their share OF It.
Our Portland office is besIeged with
II quirles about this country. Port
land is full Of people, and It is my
firm conviction that the outlook for
Grants Pass and a big years busl.
ness could not be better and never
was as good"
When asked as TO what the Rogue
River Townsite company was doinl
Mr.. Bowen stated that they had now
in sight a big line OF eastern bust
ness; that investors with large CAPT
tai are becoming interested and are
willing to pay good prices for lane
along the new railroad and adjacen
[, Grants Pass, and In conclusion re
marked:
You may expect big things alonl

HITCH IN THE PEACE
PLANS FOR MEXICO

SAN ANTONIO, Mar. 30.-Deny-
ing that he knew anything about a
peace conference to be held between
himself, Minister Limantour and the
Madero family, Former Ambassador
De La Barra arrived here today and,
accompanied by Mexican Consul Or
nelas, at once started southwark. No
members of the Madero family met
De La Barra here.
Before leaving for the south, De
La Barra made statement lauding
the friendship Of the United States
for Mexico and denying at length
that any arrangements had been
made for conference with the Ma
deros.
II know nothing of such a peace
move" he said "but trust the sense
of the people of my country to do the
right thing"
A hitch in the peace plans Of the
insurrectos is suspected here through
reports that DR.. Gomez, the rebel
agent in Washington, Is opposed to
the Maderos' conduct of the negotia-
tions, he declaring that the elder
Madero Is but lukewarm insurgent.
Juan Azcona, secretary of the
Washington junta, is en- route to San
Antonio today to confer with Gus
tave Madero and 1t is reported that
the two, with Francisco Madero, Jr.t
the rebel provisional president, Will
be the rebel envoys when a peace
conference is finally held.
Alfonso Madero issued the follow
ing statement:
"Limantour presented the de.
mands to Diaz, who has accepted
them. My father Is now commune
eating with Francisco near Chihua
hua regarding the proposals. Neither
my father nor myself will enter Mexi
Co on safe conduct by the Diaz gov

square or trapped to fiery death
within its burning walls, girls and
rleu to the numebr Of possibly more
than 100 perished this afternoon In
the most terrific disaster New York
has seen In years. Penned within
the burning structure when the
bursts OF flame had blocked all
egress by elevator and stairways.
scores of fear-maddened girls and
men fought desperately for life and
when hope was gone more than three
score leaped to certain death on the
pavements. while flremen from all
Manhattan and hundreds of thou
sands Of Its residents watched hor-
or-s.rlcken and helpless.
Many deliberately chose the leap
rather than the certainty Of roast
ing in the building. And while their
mangled bodies crashed, one after an
other, even through iron gratings In
the pavement, thousands upon thou
sands of onlookers moaned and wept
at their inability to save.
Crowded to It's very walls, Wash
ington square was one great sea Of
horror-stricken humanity, and as
tragedy after tragedy followed In
quick succession, people stood ap-
palled.
Not until the ruins OF the build
irg, which was entirely gutted by
the fire, are searched will the full
extent OF the death list be known
Fifty-three dead bodies have been
conuted In six CHASTITY piles Of mang-
led humanity, which Uttered the
streets near the scene Of the holo-
caust. These were those who leap
ed to death. Within the walls OF
the building, the police say, there ID
no doubt that at least as many more
perished and their estimate Of 100
dead, they say, will surely be less
and may not be half Of the total toll
of death.
OF the 53 persons known to have
been killed by leaplng, 40 were girls
In many cases the clothing OF the
victims was burning as they leaped
and they shot down to death vivid
balls Of flame
The fire started from the motor
used to operate cutting machine
In the foundry Of the Triangle Waist
company on the seventh floor OF tht
American building.
John T. Gregory, one OF the ele
vator men employed In the build
ing, saw the smoke as he came e
work. He ran In and took one o.
the elevators to the top floor. III
says there were 100 women on th'
seventh floor and he thinks at leas
100 of them are dead.
Gregory saved about so women
On the fourth trip he was unable 4
