Sixteen Still Unidentified.

Corning, N. ", July 5.-Forty per.
sons are dead, three so badly hurt that
their deaths are expected. and more
than fifty are suffering injuries, the
result OF tail.end collision between
the crack Buffalo limited OF the Lacka-
wanna railroad and train of express
cars in the thick fog above Gibson
Narrows, two miles from this town, on
independence Day
Sixteen of the forty-one victims are
still unidentified today, the authorities
are working desperately to obtain the
names of the unknown dead.
Coroner Smith is making an inyes-
tigation and preparing a long list of
witnesses for the inquest which will
be held next Tuesday. The Lacka-
wanna officials place all the blame on
Engineer Schroeder, whom they say
ran past signals set for his train.
Trainmen say that this loss of life
was caused by the carelessness of the
engineer of the express train, who
ran at terrific rate of speed past a
frantically signalling flagman and the
warning of dropped semaphore arm,
into the passenger train standing still
upon the track with its hundred or so
of sleeping passengers.
The engineer, who is blamed by the
authorities for the accident. jumped
before the crash came He sat on a
rail, high up on hill near the scene
of the accident, watching in dazed
way the wrecking crews at work.
The dead, which filled to overflow
ing the morgues of the little town,
are in many instances so frightfully
mangled that identification is almost
impossible. The engine of the express
train ripped its way through the two
day coaches in the rear, killing in
stantly every one in them, plowed on
through half of a steel Pullman,
throwing the sleeping car off the track,
and then came to a standstill with the
abotu its pilot.
The passenger train was heavily
loaded and was drawn by two locomo
tives. 1t was running about half an
hour late. The train had been stand
ing on the track for twenty minutes
when the express train, which carried
no passengers, struck it in the rear at
full speed The two day coaches at
tached to the rear of No. 9 were hurl-
ed down an embankment and the eX
press plunged half way through the
rear Pullman of the standing train
befoar II came IN a sion
Most of the killed were passengers
in the day coaches, who were going
home to pass the Fourth. f. W.
Drake, of Passaic, N. j., Pullman con-
ductor, said that four passengers were
killed in the Pullman
One of the unidentified bodies was
that of a young woman married We'd
nesday. She had upon her finger a
ring bearing within the inscription
"F. G.. NJ. and A. b. July 8, 1912" On
the body OF another woman, unidenti-
fed, was found nothing but a pendant
The body of a little girl five or six
years old was among the unidentified.
The passenger train had been
brought to a standstill by a freight
train which had become stalled. One
of the two locomotives of the passen-
ger train was uncoupled TO put it on
the siding. Conductor Staples, of the
passenger train, says he caused the
blocks to be set against any westbound
train.

Treasurer Conkling is of the opinion

changes.
The treasurer is preparing figures on
the subject which will be laid before
the Governor before the end of the
year, in which he will show that the
poll tax, which amounts to about 800,
900 year, is almost an injustice to
those who pay the tax year after year.
There is n heavy percentage of citizens
who escape payment of the tax for the
simple reason that they don t pay and
. for another simple reason that they
can't.
Those who do pay are mainly
those on salaries, employees of Others,
and in all such cases they cannot escape
the tax collector. There is rank and
file among the citizens who do not see
SIS in cash from one end of the year to
the other and who would find it almost
a physical impossibility to pay the tax
authorized by law. In some of the
country districts the natives, for in.

have not the means. They make mats
and many other things in which they
are skilled and live by trading with
stores, obtaining fish from the sea by
their own skill and raising taro for con-
