EIGHT KILLED IN REAR-END
 COLLISION ON PENNSYLVANIA

The engine ploughed through the ;ear coach and completely demolished it. The dead and injured were all in this coach. Several escaped by jumping. Many were scalded by escaping steam.
 When the other engine crashed into the train, it telescoped the rear coach. A few of the passengers jumped out of the windows when they saw the engine com ing. but the others had no chance to escape.
 Cries of the injured could be heard for quite distance soon after the crash oc- cured The engine split the coach as if it were large knife. and the two sides fell apart carrying with them their hu- ban burdens of dead and injured. Ire body of Mrs. Emerson was found with he. head through a window and beside her the two dead children. Her father is not expected to survive his injuries.
 The Pennsylvania railroad issued a statement tonight in which it was stated the first train was stopped because of a defect in the air attachments which au- ,onatically set the brakes. IL was said a flagman was sent back immediately to flag the following train but did not have time to get far enough back"

 Them

Joliet. H., December s.-Convicts. old and young, laughed and applauded like children today when the first of a series of motion picture entertainments was given at the state prison by Warden k. J. Murphy.

 The entertainment came as a surprise to the convfets. Instead of being marched from the dining hail back to work at noon they were taken into the chapel. which was darkened.

Unions Head Cross-Exam- ined by Government Coun-
 sel in Dynamite Trial
DENIES KNOWLEDGE
 OF ANY EXPLOSIONS
Claims He Gave Hockin No Instruc- tions to Cause Explosions-Never Received Cooley Letters-In-
 vestigated Times Disaster

Indianapolis, Ind. December s.-Let ters. written by Frank M. Ryan, presi dent of the International Association l Bridge and Structural Ironworkers, were read in conjunction with dates of explo- sions in the cross-examination of Ryan by the government at the "dynamit conspiracy" trial today.
 Ryan testified his knowledge of numer- ous explosions which occurred after he had written letter from New York was gained entirely through newspaper accounts. He said newspaper accounts of explosions on non-union jobs often were enclosed in letters as news.
 Extracts from the New York letter which Ryan testified he wrote on Aprii 27. 1910, as head of the union, to Secre- tary John J. McNamara and the expl.- sions which the government cited a.. having occurred later were:
 Let Iegletiner take care of the jots ia his district"

Davenport, Iowa, and Peoria can be handled by Hockin." Explosions occurred at Davenport and Peoria on June 4.
 Ryan's Explanation
 What did you mean when you said let Legleitner and Hockin take care of those jobs?' asked District Attorney Miller.
 T meant they were to use every legiti- mate means to have union men put to work" answered Ryan.
 Before an explosion on a bridge at Day ton, O., which Edward Clark, union of ficial at Cincinnati, confessed to having caused, Ryan said he sent Hockln to Gin cinnati. Clark in his confession said Hockin furnished him with the dynamite for the explosion. Ryan asserted he gave no instructions to Hoekin about dyna- mite.
  bridge in Cincinnati in May, 1909. did Clark call you up?" Ryan was asked.
 Possibly few days, but he gave me no details about an explosion" Asserting he had no intention that vio- lence should be used. Ryan said, through a request from W. Bert Brown, a union business agent. he sent Hockin to Kansas City, Mo, prior to an explosion on a bridge there in August, 1910.
 In explaining a letter to Michael J. Gun nane, business agent at Philadelphia, giv- ing instructions to handle a non-unlon Job, "in any way that will delay pr add to the cost of it. Ryan said his only purpose was to have union men taken off of other jobs being constructed by the same contractor.
 The government read a letter written from Dallas, Tex. in 1910, to McNamara by Philip A. Cooley of New orleans, who is charged with having urged that ex- plosions take place in the south. "I agree with you to postpone the preparation so

Archibald Case Begins

Washington December 3.--Judge Robert w. Archibald of the United States commerce court, sat before the bar of the Senate today and heard him self described as one who had 'prosti- tuted his high official position to per sonal profit.a who had "commercialized his potentiaiity as d judge,'s and who had 'fdegraded his office and destroyed the confidence of the public in his tn- tegrity" To this arraignment by Rep rescntative Henry D. Clayton of Ala hama. representing the managers for the House of Representatives in the impeachment proceedings against the turist. Judge Archbald's chief counsel A. S. Worthington, made an emphatic reply. He declared the House had brought proceedings against Judge Archibald upon facts that. if properly analysed showed the Jurists motives to he unquestionable. The charges he said, were vague and indehnites
 Judge Arehbald sat with his attor- neys at the right of the bar, and the House managers occupied correspond Ing positions at the left
 Representative Clayton, making the opening statement for the House, declared the facts shown in the investigation Of Judge Archbalds business relations with coal companies and railroads showed that his sense of morality had been deadened," and that he had used his of- icial position to induce officials or rail- roads that were or might be litigants be- fore his court to grant him faVors or to consent to business deals

 HAS BEEN EVOLVED
Pr0tracted Meeting of Union Pacific Executive Com mittee Is Without
 Results

| New York, December 3.-Not even a tentative or skeleton plan to divorce the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. in conformity with the United States supreme courts dissolution order, was evolved al a protraeted meeting of the Union Pacific Ra1lrnaa oampa oX,s ox- ecutive committee, according 10 Chair man Lovett of the Hartman system, and Julius kruttschnitt of the Union Pa cife Neither official would disclose de- tails of the conference.
 Banking interests in the Hartman properties, as represented by President vanderlip of the National City bank, and Mortimer l.. schiff of Kuhn. Loe O & Co. also attended the meeting, but declined to enter into any public dis cussion of the supreme courts decree, except to say that the mandate of the court would be carried out within the time prescribed.
 It is taken for granted that the con ferees devoted much time Co that part of the decision wherein it Is in- timated that Union Pacific might so readjust it's affairs 10 retain control of Central Pacific. This part of the de- cree is almost the one crupb of com fort vouchsafed the Union Pacific, al- though it is realized that such plan is sure to meet with strong opposition on the part of the indepdent Southern Pacific shareholders.
 Committee Appointed
 Steps in behalf Of the Southern Pa cific stockholders were taken today, ac- ! fa3 consisting of James N Wallace, chair man. Henry Evans ]. Horace Hard ing. Frederick Strauss and Albert Wig gin, was formed to protect the inter- ests of the stockholders of the Southern Pacific company in the hands of the public. The committee, it was stated, will at a later date make further pub lie announcement" to the stockholders. phase of the situation to which the high officials of the Hartman system are giving more than passing consid- eration is the increased cost of admins tration which even a technical dissolu- ton of Union Pacific and Southern Pa cifc necessarily must involve.
 Ever since Hartman intersts be- came dominant in Southern Pacific the two lines virtually have been man aged as one property, with very much the same set of officials. Enforcement of the supreme courts order, in the opinion of impartial outsiders. will call for separate and distinct working forces, from the highest salaried of fcers down to the most obscure subordinates.
 Today's stock market was largely governed by the merger decision. Wall street seemed unable to arrive at any definite conception of the all around importance of the decree. In a general
