FREIGHT TRAIN GOES UNDER
BRIDGE ON THE BRANCH
Train Men Have Feared Structure
For Number Of Months
Seven Cars Went Down.

Right in the busiest of busy ship
ping seasons for the orchards of the
North Fork, a weak bridge across a
deep ravine near Lazear, on the
branch, gave way Monday afternoon
and allowed seven cars loaded with
coal to go to the bottom, seventy
I =; or more.
An Indepe ndent reporter was at
the scene of the wreck Tuesday aft
ernoon and could easily determine
that it was equal to any occurring
in this section of the state for
some time. The heavily loaded cars
were reduced to a verita bic scrap heap
and the wrecking crew was there
to get the debris out as quickly as
possible in order that the long
bridge might be put in at least tenn
porary repair so the traffic on that
line might not be delayed for long.
where the big fruit harvest OF the
entire North Fork district is on
and hundreds of cars must go out
loaded each day and empues come
in as fast as needed.
The bridge is fully $50 feet long
and one-third of the end this way
went down with the wreck. one
member OF the trains crew is re-
.,orted to have been on top of box
car when the plunge was made and
he held his position until the car
was about to strike, when, by a
miraculous leap he reached point
of safety and came out unscratched.
General Superintendent Rockwell
happened to be in the North Fork
district when the wreck took place,
ir his private car Denver" and
was held on the Somerset side OF
the bridge until repairs were COM
pleted and traffic resumed. He was
at the wreck continuously and d.
rected manuevers of the working.

/ Train men. II is said. claim they
have been afraid of this bridge for
some time The wreck is an expen-
sive one to the railroad company as
well as an annoying one to the frui'
growers of the North Fork, to whom
delays of three or four days In
sending out picked and packed
peaches might prove damaging. II
is estimated that II will require
from three to five days to put the
bridge in a safe condition.
Aside from the wrecked bridge con
siderable track was torn up. The
escape of the train crew from deatf
or injury Is regarded as marvelousl
fortunate. Passengers from Paoni'
and Hotchkiss have been transfers.

WAsHINGToN. July 1.-Two stars
were added to the national flag today,
denoting the addition Of Arizona and
New Mexico to the sisterhood Of states.
1t has been some time since the two
territories became states, but under
the law the change in the flag could
not be made until today, which Is the
independence day next following their
admission to statehood. The law gov.
erning the subject is contained In the
act Of congress approved April 4, 1878.
That act provides as follows:
ION the admission Of a new state
into the union, one star shall be added
to the union OF the flag and such sd.
dition shall take effect on the fourth
day of July then next succeeding such
admission"
| This is the hrst time since 1890 that
more than one star has been added at
a time. In that year stars were added
for the five new states Of Idaho, Wash.
ington. Montana and North and south
Dakota.
Since July 1, 1896, the official ar
rangcment of the stars In the field of
the flag has been such as to permit
the addition of more stars without
destroying the symmetry Of the ap-
proved design. In none of the acts of
congress relating to the flag has the
manner of arranging the stars been
prescribed. Before the date named
there was a lack Of uniformity in the
matter After July I, 1895, when Utah
WAS admitted to the union, the forty
i've stars in the flag were arranged in
six rows, the first, third and a ifth rows
having eight stars each, and the second,
fourth and sixth rows, seven stars
each.
Four years ago \ rearrangcment of
the stars WAS made by = joint board o
army and navy officers to meet the
case Of oklahoma. Under the arrange.
ment, which has prevailed until today,
there were eight stars In the tirst,
third, fourth and sixth rows and seven
stars in the second and Afth rows
The rearrangement to meet the case OF
Arizona and New Mexico was very
simple matter. All that was necessary
was the addition Of star each to the
second and fifth rows, which makes
six rows Of eight stars each. Since
the admission Of any Of the territorial
possessions to statehood is matter OF
the distant future the present arrange.
ment OF the stars In the national flag
is likely to remain unchanged for :
long time to come.

ATTENDANCE
At CIRCUS
WAS LARGE
CROWDS saw The PARADE
Only Circus Day For the City
This Season

The performances here yesterday Of
Howes Great London Shows were wit
messed by large crowds at both the af-
ternoon and night hours. The fact
that the shows were held close in at
the ball park instead of at the race
track grounds helped to swell the
large crowds that attended.
Even though the circus came to the
city Immediately after the celebration
the night before, the crowds that were
in town seemed undiminished. 1t was a
typical circus day, tin horns, toy bal
looms and the other accessories. Early
in the day people from the country
began to reach town, and the crowd
was large before the morning had half
advanced
The parade in the morning was a
feature that was enjoyed, as usual, by
all alike A creditable display was
made, and, the people of the city,
young and old turned out to see it be-
fore they went later in the day to see
the circus itself.

WILSON Will NOT
TALK OF TARIFF
Advice PauFs % Him From
All Sections

Trenton, n. j., Nov 12.-President-
elect Wilson has not 'breathed to d
soul" whether he will call special
session of congress to revise the
tariff. The governor declared today
that he had not expressed an opinion
on this topic to anybody, nor allowed
himself to form one. He is hearing
all sides of the case, he said.
q trained myself during my term
as governor" he said, mot to antici-
pate my opinions; my friends, of
course, have a right to express their
own opinions"
Have they any right to say what
your opinion 50" he was asked.
They have not; | have no opinion.
Governor Wilson found his office in
the state house crowded when he
reached here this forenoon. Almost
as many persons were there on err
rands concerning national business as
on state matters.
Nathan Hirsch, member of the
democratic state committee of New
York, a presidential elector, and a
manufacturer of cotton goods, was
the first man who got access to the
governor Mr. Hirsch suggested that
to handle tariff. there be appointed
separate commissions for every kind
of business.
The president-elect assured Nj
Hirsch that he was not taking up
these subjects at the present time
but asked him to prepare for him a
memorandum of his views and send
it to him.
