The train was we'll crowded every seat
in the long coach being occupied with
persons returning from a Fourth of July
holiday. The freight engines ploughed
through the wooden coach as If it were
paper.
The coach was ripped to pieces. All
the occupants were hurled to the road
bed. Some fell in the path of the on
rushing engines, while others were
partly embedded in the cinders and
crushed stones beside the rails. The
first engine of the freight train
stopped soon after tearing through the
passenger train, turned half way
around and fell over on its side.
Engineer McConnaughy was scalded
to death, while his fireman jumped,
only to fall on the track and meet
death under the wheels. Engineer
Smith p. Beatty of the second engine
jumped and sustained a broken leg. His
fireman, John Ankney, fell beneath Il

on his way to the hospital. Engineer
Dunlap of the passenger train and his
fireman remained at their posts and
escaped with slight injuries.
A pathetic feature of the wreck was
the injury of Miss Esther NJ. Matthews.

injury of four children she was taking
to tie woods near Wilpen for an aft
ernoon's outing.
Farmers near the scene of the ac-
cident and workmen employed at
race track in the vicinity, were at
the wreck within a few minutes. Mes
sengers were started at once to Lii
gonier, while the others, assisted by
Engineer Dunlap and his fireman,
were busy getting the dead and in
jured clear of the wreekage. An hour
and half after the accident physicians,
nurses and railroad officials had
reached the accident. From that time
on the work of rescue and tending to
the suffering was effective. The Penn
sylvania, of which the Ligonier is a
branch, sent a special train from
Pittshurg to Latrobe to take some of
the injured to Pittsburg.
The first rescue train reached here
from the accident at o'clock, to-
night Practically the entire town
met it. Every conveyance was ready
to take the injured to the hospitals.
To obtain connected story from any
of the victims was next to impossible
at late hour. But one persons es-
capped injury on the train. He was a
railroad employee and was too busy
to talk.

CALIFORNIAN PRoGREsslvEs
Will Back Col. Roosevelt's Candidacy
on Republican Ticket.

Sacramento. July 5.-A conference of
California Progressive Republican lead
ers with Gov. Johnson here. today. re-
suited in decision, it was authoritative
ly stated. tonight. to make the fight for
Roosevelt in California. under the desig-
nation of the Republican party.
Efforts now will be directed toward
election of Progressive candidates for
the state Senate and Assembly as they
will comprise the delegates to state
convention to be held here, Sept "a, three
weeks after the primary election. In ad-
dition to the drafting of a platform this
convention will choose the state Presi-
Dental electors.
If this convention should be controlled
by Roosevelt men, supporters of Presi-
dent Taft to vote for him would be un-
der the necessity, according to the state
law, of circulating individual petitions
for ticket of 13 electors

AS for the tariff, Col Roosevelt said
that Gov. Wilson apparently was a
free trader and that the Democratic
party had gone on record in favor of
free entry of the necessities of life
"Of course the first person that such
policy would harm, would be the
farmer" he continued. ',rhe Demo-
cratic party could do only one of tive
things. 1t might wing at its tariff
plank and admit that it was written
for campaign purposes only. or it
might attempt to enforce it. which
would mean ruin to the country
Free trade, he said, would be only
temporary thing, with effects so disas-
trous that the country would soon
come back to the principle of protec
ton. Should free trade be adopted,
he said, it would be possible for the
moneyed interests of this country to
build up great industries in China and
Japan to take advantage of the cheap
labor there and import the products
into this country to under-sell do
nestle goods.
81 am not sure he continued, that the
tariff is the chief factor in the high cost
of living. So far as | can see, the ar
ticles which have gone up in price most
are butter, eggs and meat. Butter and
eggs of course are not affected by the
tariff. In regard to meat | think that
1t is less the tariff than the trusts which
have caused high prices"
Several of Col. Roosevelt's aides gath
cred at Sycamore Hill. tonight, for a
conference about which there was some
mystery. The visitors were Medill Nc
Cormick of Chicago; Senator Dixon of
Montana and George w. Perkins and
George k Steddard of New York.
When he was asked in regard to the
conference, the colonel was unusually ret
icent.
I'D rather not say anything about it,
he said.
C. j. Hamlin of Buffalo, who Col.
Roosevelt described as leader of the
Roosevelt forces in Buffalo, was also
here, today.
The former President said that his plat
form would be ready in week or so.
He had received letters, he continued,
from several men who were prominent in
his campaign for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination and were reported to
have left him since the Chicago conven-
ton. They told him, they said that they
were WIFI Ilfil ueSpllt itpoIt9 W tlte SoH-
trary, He thought that others who
Topped" acted prematurely and that be-
| fore long some of them would want to
come back again
Col. Roosevelt said some confusion had
been caused by misinterpretation of
statements by his supporters that they
saw no need of new party. That did
not mean. he asserted. that they had for
saken him.
in Kansas, for instance" he said,
they take the stand that the Roose-
welt supporters are the Republican or
ganization and there is no reason for

| lican ticket.
"Do you mean that the Republican or,
ganiation of some states will cooperate

FLOUR TRADE EXPANDS

Washington, Jnly 9.-That the flour
trade af the United States bids fair
to make a record for expansion is
the belief of officials of the Govern
ment who have been looking into the
matter as result of recent statistics
sent from Annoy regarding the impor-
tations of flour from America to that
place. During the last year Annoy
imported 100000 barrels of American
flour, or three times as much as dur
ing 1910. Famines, floods and the
revolution reduced the wheat produc-
ton in central China to such an ex-
tent as to practically close the Shang-
hal flour mills. The price of rice dur
ing the past year has been the high
est in years, which favored the con-
sumption of -four Favorable silver
exchange and cheaper flour in Amer
lea during 1911 as compared with
prices the few years preceding all
helped American imports to China.
Indications point to a continuation
of the extension of trade during 1912.
