TRAIN DISPATCHER
TAKES THE BLAME
~JUsr ONE INCORRECT WORD

ROACH OF sEDALIA.
IS CALLED HIGH-CLAss MAN
State Utilities Commission Hears lite
First Case Involving Missouri Pa
eiHc Collision and VIII Re-
port Its Findings.

Jefferson Clty.-Frank A. Roach of
8edalia, Missouri Pacific train dis
patcher who issued the order for fast
trains Nos. II and II to meet at Tip
ton, assumes responsibility for the col
l,sion. which killed four men and iu-
.Jured nearly two score.
Roach was nearly in a state of col
lapse when he went before the utili-
ties commission. He was told by
Chairman Atkinson that he could
make his statement without being
sworn, and aid the commission in
arriving at the facts.
"The primary cause of the trouble"
said Roach, was that the two orders,
the one delivered to No. IL at Sedalia
and the one sent to No. II at Jeffer-
son City, we're not sent simultane
ously.
when I sent the order to No. II at
Jefferson City | got 1t wrong, Why-I
cannot tell.
Something else must have come
into my mind at that time, and | got
No. II mixed up with No. 8 and the
meeting point of the latter,
"Just One Word Caused It ALL"
"Why the error was not discovered
when the order was repeated by the
Jefferson City operator for the o. X.
I can't explain. Just one incorrect
word in the order caused it all.
"After the initial error was made
everything seems to have worked so
that the mistake could not be discov
cred until after it was too late. Had
I heard McGirks give California the
block for No. IL l could have correct
ed it then, but just at that time | had
stepped into the washroom for a nc.
ment."
This is the first investigation OF
the kind held by the utilities commits
sion. H. S. Hays of Topeka, Kan, and
r. S. Gardner of Washington, D. c.,
inspectors for the interstate com
merce commission, worked in connec
ton with the commission.
Missouri Pacific officials declare
there are few more competent traiz
" dispatchers than Roach and that his
mistake was n of t ehunaccountable
lapses occasionally met with in rail
reading.

Laws AooIv to Senate Candidates,

Jefferson City.-Attorney-Gener
Barker is of the opinion that no spe-
eial session of the legislature. will be
necessary to amend the election laws
to permit anne of candidates for
United States senators to be placed on
the official ballot at the general cleo
ton. In this he concurs in the opin-
ion of Gov. Major, given out some
time ago.
The encouragement has examined
the election laws and concluded that
the section which provides that the
names of all elective officers be
placed on the official ballot will apply
to United States senators, now that
they are made elective officers. He
said:
Il have been unable to get a copy
of the federal act relating to the cleo
tion of United States senators by di-
rect vote of the people, and, unaided
by the act itself, l believe the present
Missouri election laws are sufficient
to have the candidates for United
States senators nominated at the gen.
eral primary election in August and
the names of the successful eandi-
dates OF each party placed upon the
official ballot at the November cleo
ton"

"CELESTIAl-" AS APPLIED
 TO CHINA

Everyone knows the epithet "Celes- tiaT' applied to China, but few know it's origin. According to a very rare old legend, Thibet is a fragment of a planet, once peopled by yellow race, which in some way became de- tached and fell on the earth. The dazed inhabitants of the fragment were uninjured, and cold and hungry they made their way toward China, which they peopled This origin of the Chinese race led to their calling themselves "CelestiaIs" and it is for this reason that the emperor calls himself Son of Heaven. Such. at least is the legend.
