SCORE KILLED IN
WRECK OF EXPRESS
Travelling at High Speed Train Strikes
Open Switch And is Hurled
Over Viaduct.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Bridgeport, Conn, July 11.-Many
lies, probably score, were crushed
out in an instant and probably three
times as many persons were frightful-
ly hurt when early today the federal
express running from Washington to
Boston over the New York. New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad was hurled
over viaduct here by an open switch.
A fire broke out, but the fire depart
ment quickly put this out and the men
lent their assistance to rescuing the
injured. Ambulances and doctors were
hastily summoned and did their best
to save those under the debris.
The. express was going at high speed
when the open switch was struck.
There was one tremendous crash, an
instant of intense silence, then the
groans and shrieks of the wounded.
Five cars went over The engine was
twisted into junk while the mail and

coach was entirely crushed and in it
the deaths were many Five bodies
being removed at one time. Three
Pullmans were almost completely
|crumpled up, but the passengers were
in measure protected by the strength
of the cars. The dead and injured
were laid out upon a lawn, at near

his post. A baby year old, was
found in one car. It was alive and
had been separated from its mother,
Mrs. w. v. Cleppane, of Cherry Creek,
Nd, and its aunt, Miss Beatrice Clep-
pane, both of whoc escaped with

PULLMAN COMPANY TAX
CASE SETTLED AT LAST

Oklahoma City, July 1.-THE legal
war between the state of Oklahoma
and the Pullman company over state
taxes for the years since statehood
came to an end Monday by announce
ment that an agreement had been
reached. The valuation of the Pull.
man company was fixed by the board
for 1908 at about $660,OOO, three times
what the company returned, but for
1909 and 1910 that amount was in
creased slightly. Taxes for the three
years amounted to approximately $45,-
600, which, under the agreement, was
reduced about Is per cent. Valua-
tion for 1911, as agreed upon, is about
$3.50 900.
The Pullman's assessment was sus-
tanned by the federal district court at
Guthrie and the federal court for the
eighth district, and the company now
has an appeal pending before the
United States supreme court. This
will be dismissed. Settlement of the
Western Unions tax levies has not
been reached. Attorneys will take
depositions in the cases in New York

USE OF OLOG|ES AND IsMs
IN SCIENCE IS CONDEMNED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
San Francisco, Cal, July IL
"Ologies" and "isms" in connection
with courses in science were condemn
ed at department meeting of the Ma
tional Education Association today by
Professor w. c. Morgan, University OF
California, who said:
"The most important contribution
which science has to make toward the
education of the people should be of.
fered in the first year, the fundamental
ideas affecting the life and welfare of
mankind, whether they come from one
science or from many. This means a
general science course, treating those
things which come within the general
experience of the class. It should
teach things, not 'ologies or isms.' It
should never be series of six weeks
courses in half a dozen different
sciences, but rather something like
the old natural physiology.
General science will not only give
to all students ideas which will be OF
the greatest service to them, but by
eliminating elementary material com
mon to all, it will advance the stand.
ard of work in subsequent scientific
.couses.
Educators are agreed generally as
to the proper functions of grammar
schools and university in developing
intelligent citizenship, but the ques-
tion is constantly rased whether the
ordinary high school curriculum offers
the best preparation for life. Nearly
half of the students are commonly in
the freshmen class; three-quarters of
those entering high school leave be-
fore the junior year; less than ten
per cent go to any higher institution
of learning. A square deal for the
great mass of students who do not
continue their schooling should be the
chief care of the high school.
Recalling these facts, few main
tain that the science work as usually
given would furnish the best possible
preparation for life. Physical geo
graphy cannot (probably no single
science cam justify itself on this
basis"

RURAL DELIVERY CARRIERS
GET RAISE IN SALARY

Washington, ID. c., July 1.-THE
forty thousand odd rural free delivery
carriers in the United States are to
receive salary increases as a result of
"a decision reached yesterday by Post
master General Hitchcock. The order
will provide for the disbursement
through the current fiscal year of $4,-
100000, which will mean an increase
of 500 over the present salary of 5000
for all carriers ON stand ard routes,
with proportionate increase on the
smaller routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure of this extra $4,000
900, but left it to the discretion of the
postmaster-general as to how much of
it should be expended. Mr.. Hitchcock
has decided to authorize the expendi-
ture of the full amount. His desire to
the carriers for any addi-
tional burden which may be placed on
them if the parcels post system, he has
recommended, is approved by con-
gress, was the important consideration
Mr.. Hitchcock declared, which led him
to make the authorization.
The rural delivery system was start
ed fifteen years ago with eighty-three
carriers, who were paid only 5000 a
year. On July there were 1852 car
riers, their aggregate salaries being
sS5, 1893 900.
