Charles Murphy Does Not
Think Act Will Affect
Either Party.

District Chairman Charles Murphy
was in Hammond today for a confer
ence with prominent democratic lead
ers. He was asked by a TINES re-
porter If he thought the new corrupt
practices act would be help or a
hindrance to either party.
Il am of. the opinion that neither
the republican of the democratic party
in Lake county will be affected in the
least by this act. Its effect will be in
tho interests of good government and
will have the same influence. on the
democratic vote that it does on the re-
publican.
Mr., Murphy is greatly interested in
the coming national election, and be-
iieves that there is an increasing ten
dency towards radicalism all over the
country.
He had a conference with Judge
Becker Immediately after lunch. but IT
is not known whether or not she

A PURCHASER OF HAY
For First Time On Record, the
Farmers There Have Not
Enough for Own Use.

For the first time in the history OF
this country. Sioux City is supplying
the rich farms Of Plymouth, Sioux and
Lyon counties with hay for use during
the remainder Of the winter season.
The short crop Of 1911 ha been the
only severe one ever experienced In
those localities. Very few fields in the
three leading counties Of the state Sc
cured enough rainfall last year to
raise even a fair crop, and as a result
the farmers are appealing to the city
dealers to whom they usually sell.
During the month Of December, 1911,
n carloads Of hay were shipped over
h Illinois Central railroad to the
counties named, by G.. ]. Milligan, of
Sioux City. The hay sold at SIS to SIS
a ton on track at Sioux City. It was
secured from various localities in Ne
braska. The hay vas shipped to the
following owns: LeMars, seven cars;
George, six; Rock Rapids, five; Rem
sen. one; Matlock, one; Edna, one;
Primghar. one; Calumet, one; Oyens,
one; Marcus. one.
During the present month, II car
loads have been shipped to the same
localities. The demand is expected to
continue until after the first hay crop
Of 1912 Is secured.

HAkRARAN IS Slain
IN COLLISION ON
ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Shocking and Fatal Accident
Results From Negligence,
It Is Said, Of the
Train Grew.

Centralia, ILL.,, Jan. 23.--Four
prominent railroad men were
killed at Kinmundy, % miles
north Of here, early today when
an officials private car attached
to the rear end of the Illinois Gen.
trail train No. 25, known as the
New Orleans express, was crushed
between the steel coach ahead and
the engine Of train No. 3, the Pan
anna limited, travelling at a high
rate of speed.
The dead are:
JAMES 7. HARAHAN, SR.,
former president of the Illinois
Central.
FRANK o. MELCHER, second
vice president of the Rock Island.
E. B. PIERCE, general solicitor
Of the Rock Island.
ELDRIDGE E. WRIGHT, vice
president Of a Rock Island bridge
company, son of Luke E. Wright,
former secretary of war.
The bodies were found near the
berths they had occupied. Four
other occupants of the private car
escaped injury. The bodies Of
the dead were horribly mutilated,
the top of MI. Harahan's head be-
ing torn off. Most of the victims
lost their arms and a doctor said
their legs r held on by shreds.
Mr.. Harahan's body perhaps
was mutilated more than the
others.
-Four Escape Death.
Four occupants Of the private car
escaped death or injury. These are

Engineer Robert Stuart and -
Vert, fireman, of the limited, were the

Marion county, Will preside at the in
quest. The cause of the wreck Is
ascribed to scarcity of water along the
road. A special order make 1t neces-
sary for all trains to take water at
Kinmundy, and a freight train, which
took water before the express, held the
express longer than customary.
Evidently Forgot Order.
Stuart and Vert were a freight crew
lately put on q passenger train. 1t is
believed they forgot about the order
for all trains to take water. The flag
man OF No. 25, did not have time to flag
the limited.
Harahan recently retired from the
presidency Of the Illinois Central road
on a pension. Melcher lived at Win
netka, ILL.,, and Pierce in Highland
Park, ILL.,, suburbs of Chicago. Mr..
Wright resided in Memphis.
Residents Of Kinmundy, a town of
1900 inhabitants, opened their doors to
succor the injured soon after the news
spread of the wreck. The crashing Of
the engine into the private car was
heard for several blocks.
Friend of Hartman.
James T. Harahan came to the presi-
dency of the Illinois Central railroad
in 1906 through the influence of E. II.
| Hartman who had, after a long fight,
succeeded in ousting ~Stuyvesant Fish
from the presidency.
That fight had it's beginning late in
1903, according to the late e. H. Har-
riman, who t%estifying before the In
terstate Commerce commission, al
legged that Mr.. Fish had been using his
| position as president Of the Illinois
Central to further his own personal
interests"
Mr.. Fish succeeded in retaining the
office of the presidency Of the Illinois
Central for a time, but Mr.. Hartman
| continued his warfare against him. In
1906 Mr.. Fish was superseded by Mr..
Harahan as head Of the Illinois Cen
trail, but the fight continued when Mr..
Fish sought through the courts to en-
join the Hartman interests from vot-
ing Illinois Central stock held by the
Union Pacific, the Railroad Securities
and the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company.
Judge Ball, in Chicago later dissolved
a temporary injunction granted Mr..
Fish and that ended the Hartman
Fish war.
