81 .------ -,

Chicago July 19.--Mrs. Julia
Wilcox, who was on duty in the sig
nal tower at Western Springs last
Sunday when fast mail train
crashed into the rear of the Over
land Express of the Burlington
railroad. killing IS persons and In
juring more than score of pas
sengers, admitted at the Coroner's
inquest that misunderstanding
over a telephone message might iii
part have been responsible for the
wreck
She said she received telephone
message from Congress Park, Just
before the accident. She understood
the message to mean for her to hold
passenger train No. until a freight
train had finished switching ahea d
She tried TO stop No. 4, but said
it ran past the signal. 1t developed,
she said, that the person who tele

Mrs. Wilcox said she then decid-
ed she should stop No 2, passeng-
er train, which, she said, ran by the
signal, but stopped $50 feet beyond
the tower Ten minutes later the
mail train, No. 3, shot past the
block set against it. and crashed
into train No. 2
The witness admitted that If she
had not misunderstood the telephone
message she would not have stopped
train No. 2. and the accident proba-
bly, would not have occurred
Coroner Hoffman, members OF the

The latter testified that on leaving |
the passenger train after it stopped, |
he went directly back to flag the |

that he first went forward to the |
locomotive and then walked back
toward the signal tower.
She at first denied Flagman Wood

WILSON CAMP FULL
OF SURPRISES
PLANNING TO BLOCK SPEAKER
cLARk's NOMINATION BY DEAD
LOCK.

Baltimore, Nd, June 25.-On the
face of the returns as this first big
and important day of the democratic ic
national convention comes to a close
Speaker Champ Clark is far in the
lead for the nomination for president
by reason of the apparent coalition
with Charles F. Murphy Of Tammany
Hall. Today the Clark managers de-
livered to Murphy the temporary
chairman, and now they are, so to
speak, sitting back waiting for Muir.
ply TO deliver tc Clark the nomina
ton.
Despite today's developments, Rep
resentatve Conery, a Tammany con
gressman from Murphy district,
says there has been no deal between
Murphy and Clark, that Senator vii.
liam J. Stone, shrewd practical politi-
clan, has no promise from Murphy
ami that the delivery of enough votes
today to elect Judge Parker, the Tam
many candidate for temporary chair.
man, was merely a bid by the Clark
people for TaDmary's support Of
Clark.
Holman RiGd,r, New Yor' dele =
gate asserts tfat the New York del
eg,res do not &ant Clark, and he be
lieves that the delegation, after cast.
ing a few complimentary votes for
state favorites, will eventually settl
on some conservative like Harmon or
Underwood.
Clarks victor yis in sight only on
the assumption that Clark gets the
support of Murphy, Taggart. Sullivan
and other democratic leaders who al
usually called reactionary, but who
fit in under Judge Parker's description
of a progressive as a democrat who
is opposed to the third term for pres
ident, who blames the high cost Of
living ON the tariff and declares his
unalterable opposition to special priv.
ilege, albeit in vague and undecided
terms.
The Wilson camp is full of surprises
for one who expects to see long faces
and hearing wailing and mourning
over today's battle over the temporary
craftsmanship. The Wilson managers
say that they have assurances that
they will get all of the Underwood
following. except the Georgia delega-
tion, and they are feeling relieved oye'
the indications that Bryan is no long
er a menace to the Wilson candidacy.
Speculation tonight centers around
the roll call on the vote that elected
Parker as temporary chairman. This
roll call shows that all but forty-two
Wilson men stood firmly for Bryan,
while Clark failed to deliver 1877 of his
votes to the Murphy candidate. There
