THIRTEEN
KILLED IN
COLLISION
FAST MAIL CRASHES INTO REAR
OF OVERLAND EXPRESS ON CHI
CAGO, BURLINGTON & QUINCY
YESTERDAY 13 DEAD, MANY
HURT.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Chicago, July 15.-Thirteen persons
were killed, eight of them women, and
between fifteen and twenty were in
jured in wreck on the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad at Western
Springs, a suburb of Chicago, at $3.50
a. m. Sunday.
Coming through a fog with suppos-
edly a clear track, train No. s, fast
mail, ran full speed into the rear Of
train No. 2, known as the Overland
Express, from Denver, which was
standing still on the track, telescoping
two Of the Overland's Pullman cars.
Railroad officials refused to fix the
blame until after the wreck has been
investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A.
Wilcox, who was in charge of the tow
er from which the block signals we're
controlled, said she was certain the
block was thrown against both trains,
Coroner Hoffman, on returning
from the scene Of the wreck, issued
the following statement today:
Responsibility for the disaster de-
pends on three Questions-if the Ov-
erland was standing still, why was
not the mail train properly tagged
Did the block signals work, and if they
did or If the Overland did send back
flag, why did not the mail train
stop
81 have communicated with the state
railroad commissioners and they al
ready have despatched an expert t.
the scene. We expect to reach def
mite conclusion regarding the cause
Of the wreck and the responsibility
Tor it in time for the inquest Thurs
day at La Grange
The coroner condemned the practic,
OF running two fast trains so close to
gether, He said they should hav,
been at least 25 minutes apart. H.
has asked the local weather bureau
for an official report of weather con
ditions at the time of the wreck.

MANY THINK The
WHITESIDE CAR
WAS The FINEST

As a disinterested spectator of the
automobile parade Saturday, l feel
that, in justice to d. H. Whiteside, who
entered an R. C, H. car, beautifully
decorated in pink, that it was no more
than fair to say that the general opin-
ion of the majority of persons around
me in the srowd, seemed to be strong
ly in favor of Mr., Whiteside's ma
chine. It came as distinct surprise
to me when read in the paper the
list Of prize winners, and saw that
Mr.. Whiteside did not even get a
place. 1t seems almost impossible to
me that this car should have failed
entirely to get a prize and there sure
ly must be some mistake.
