 Business organizations in towns along the line have appealed to the state rail- road commission to come to their aid. but the commission Is without authority to act in the matter.
 Passenger train No. 2s from Atlanta to Augusta reached here three hours and a half late this morning with sev- eral windows broken but the mail ear and sleening coaches unharmed A. Dearing, the conductor of the train. was taken off and flogged by mob The train then was allowed to proceed.

Commerce Commissioner Says Rec. concentrations in Regard to High Speed on Crossoyers Have
 Been Absolutely Ignored

Westport. Conn, October i.--Testimony tending to show that Engineer George L. Clark of the Springfield Express, which was wrecked here last night. ignored sig lnals set against him and took the cross over switch at high rate of speed, was given at an inquest into the death of seven victims of the wreck this afternoon.
 This testimony was given by Bartley Gordon, foreman of the section gang. and Michael A. Coyle, the towerman.
 Gordon said he was working in front of the station when he heard the express coming. He realized that the train was running at ..an excessive rate of speed so he ran forward, waving his aEms to attract the engineer. The train did not slow down and he was obliged to jumn down to save his life
 Gordon said:
 "I knew the train would be wrecked for no train could ever take crossovei at such speed The engineer must have seen me-
 signals had been set against the train f, reduce speed His records showed that the train. which was 12 minutes late, was going from 50 to 60 miles an hour" Coroner Phelan will continue his in quest tomorrow.

McChord to Act

Washington. October 4.-Interstate Com merce Commissioner MeChord left to- night for Westport, Conn.,, to investigate the disastrous wreck which occurred there yesterday on the New York, New Haven and HaFtford railroad.
 q intend to he present at the cor oners inquest and to direct the official inquiry into the wreck said the com missioner. Tt is high time that all rail- roads should adopt means to avert such oalamities-particular when the means are easily within their reach. A precisely similar accident to that of yesterday happened about a year ago at Bridge port, Conn, on the New Haven road. Both were caused by the driving of the trains at recllessly high speed over 'crossovers.'
 Recommendations made by the com mission at that time, Mr McChord said, have been dsregarded absolutely
 Had they been observed the proba- bility is that the Westport accident would not have occurred, he added Tn this instance l shall endeavor to fix the responsibility definitely. Ii will be the effort of the commission to prevent the occurrences of such accidents. If the present law is found to be inadequate, we shall ask the Congress so to amend it to give us authority to compel rail- roads to adopt measures as will prevent useless destruction of human life.
 After the Bridgeport wreck the com mission recommended that the installa- tion of automatic train control apparatus to bring trains to a stop in case signals or rules were not observed and that in the absence of such control switches should not be used at dangerous cross over to divert trains from one track to another until stopped.

 MEETING OVER Moore Says Floods Are Due to Conditions
 of the Air


 Indianapolis. October 1.-The fourth NatioEal Conservation Congress, after q four-day meeting here, adjourned late today Invitations were received from Knoxville. Tenn. and Chautauqua. NY. for the fifth meeting of the congress-. The selection. however, was left to the executive committee.
 The resolutions as reported by Walter l.. Page of New York, as chairman of the committee. placed especial emphasis upon the conservation of human life through better health conditions and eugenics.
 Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the United states weather bureau. in his addres on 'trhe Story of. the Air said che great floods along the Mississippi were not due to the cutting down Of the forests but to air conditions.
 As long as we have the Gulf of Mex leo to the south of us, said the weather bureau chief. we shall have floods. The warm air coming up from the gulf meets with the cooler air from the north, causing condensation and rain. Therein lies the cause of floods and the forests, rather the lack of forests, has nothing 70 ao with It.

Johnson Attacks Wilson

Binghamton. N. Y., October f.-Gov- ernor Johnson in an address here to- night attempted to show his audience that Governor Wilson's present attitude toward union labor is not the same that he took in 1909.
 ''I read the other day in newspaper friendly to the democratic candidate for President his utterances in New Eng land in reference to the right of labor to organize" he said. 'I gathered he was endeavoring to express a great sympathy with union labor.
 "Vividly there came to me the words of the democratic candidate uttered at Princeton college in 1909. He then said
 The theory of modern labor unions is to give employers as little labor as possible for the amount they receive, NO one is suffered to do more than the aver age workman can do No one may work out of hours at all. or volunteer any thing beyond the minimum. I next now point out to you how economically dis astrous such regulation of labor is It is so unprofitable to the employer that in some grades it will presently not be worth while to attempt anything at ail- our economic supremacy may be lost be- cause the country grows more and more full of unprofitable service.
 Which constitute the real views of MT. Wilson you may determine for your seIyes.''
