industries and greater population, should
be represented in the Senate.
In recognition of such representation
and belief that conditions require more

sible, ! have brought myself to reach a
decision in the matter and make public

six years ago of my views as to what

this time. The party has since adopted
those policies and written them upon our
statute books to remain. The further
development and prosperity OF New

PROBING FOR CAUSE
OF ILLINOIS CEN. WRECK
Flagman Testified That He Went Back
From Standing Train a Block and
a Half, Gave Signal and
Was Answered.

Centralia, H.. Jan. ga three-fold
investigation of the fatal collision OF
yesterday on the Illinois Central rail.
road, when four men We're killed and
others injured, was begun yesterday aft.
ernoon by the state of Illinois, the
deputy coroner of Marion county and
the Illinois Central railroad itself
Witnesses were examined by Deputy
Coroner Grant Weatherling and the in
quest was continued until Friday to en-
able the crew of the engine of the limit
ed to testify.
The deputy coroner expressed the opin-
ion that the responsibility lies between
Stuart and FlagTnan J. Broecker of the
express, who lives in Chicago.
The bodies of the four victims were
mutilated. Their arms were torn off
and the top of James T. Harahan's head
was cut away. The car was reduced
to junk. Citizens of Kinmundy aided the
train crews and passengers in remov-
ing the debris from the dead.
Friends of the officials took the bodies
of Mr.. Harahan, Frank o. Melcher and
f.. b. Pierce to Chicago. Eldridge
Wright's body was taken south TO Mem
phis
Broecker, testifying at the inquest,
said he was riding in the next to the
last car on the express, and that when
it stopped at Kinmundy, 30 miles north
OF here for water, he ran back with
his lantern and block and half
to the rear gave the on-rushing limited
a signal He testified his signal was
answered by the engineer by two blasts
OF the whistle.
Stuart, it was said, applied the brakes,
but the train was going at too great
speed TO be stopped. The force of
the collision was so great that the
standing train, with brakes locked was
showed 200 feet ahead. Passengers on
each train escaped with. slight bruises
caused by the sudden stopping of the
trains
Conductor John II. Brainard of Chi
cago of the express corroborated the tes-
timony. of his flagman. At Efingham he
testified that he told the fagman that
the limited was less than ten minutes
behind and to make quick run to
the rear when the train stopped at Kin
mundy for water.
Indirectly the cold weather. it was
said, may have been contributing
cause of the wreck. All trains, accord
ing to an announcement, are under or
ders to stop at Kinmundy for water
because of the shortage of water along
the road caused by the cold. A freight
train, Immediately ahead of the express,
delayed it in getting water as soon as
was expected.
Superintendent R. W. Baxter of the
Illinois Central arrived here yesterday
and said the road will hold a public
hearing to determine the cause of the
A. r. Layman. inspector for the state
board of railroad and warehouse com
mission, visited the scene last night and
will make his report to-day, when the
boards hearings will begin Testimony
AZ the inquest will be used by the state
board.
Broecker, while testifying, advanced
the statement that the towerman at
Edgewood failed to hold the limited the
full 10 minutes after the express had
passed but Superintendent Baxter said
there is no night operator at Edge
wood.
