Barnum & Bailey Attaches, in Wreck, Taken to Omaha Hospital
 Three Expected to Die.

Omaha, Aug 13.-Thirteen persons, all employees of the Barnum & Bailey circus, whose train was struck at Richfield, Neb., by Rock Island pas senger equipment train returning from the Denver conclave, were brought to the Clarkson hospital in this city, all suffering fatal or serious injuries. At the hospital it was stated three would die
 A relief train took number of phy- sicians from Omaha to the scene of the wreck. Richfield is without tele- graph facilities and the serious nature of the wreck did not become knowp until several hours after it occurred.
 In addition to 13 taken to the local hospital, 29 other injured were brought to Omaha.
 The circus train was pulling into the siding at Richfield, but had not cleared the main line when the pas. sengeI train struck it. Most of those injured were in Pullman car, which was at the rear of the train, just ahead of the caboose.
 The passenger train is said to have been moving with considerable speed and the impact derailed the passenger engine and two cars immediately be. hind it and overturned the Pullman car on the circus train and deraied several cars preceding It..

Says Account Wasn't Speculative.

SdyS Account WdSHt 0pcCuiat'sS'
 New York, Aug. 13-With reference to the contention of Gov. Sulzer in his statement at Albany that his &C., count with the stock exchange house of Harris & Fuller was not a specula- tive one, but loan, the firm issued the following statement:
 "The governors statement is cor rect as borne out by the transcript of the account which we rendered to the Frawley committee. It was not a speculative account in any sense of the term.
 'The statement of Judge Olcott, our attorney, before the Frawley commit tee previous to the testimony of our Melville B. Fuller, explains our posi- tion perfectly.
 When the value of collateral con- tracted so that the equity in the loan was below the required amount, of course, it was a matter of business for us to ask for more collateral or re- duction of the debt.
 "When we delivered the collateral the equity in the loan at the then mar ket prices was approximately $6,0O0, and considered ample to protect the loan"

ID WAR ON ANIMAL DANCES
CATHOLIC LEAGUE ATTRIBUTES
 INCREASED VICE TOT
Leaders From All Parts of United States Selected to Conduct Cam
 pasn Against Hugs and Trots.

Milwaukee, Aug. 13.-One hundred thousand Catholic women will wage unrelenting warfare upon the animal dances" in the United States as a re- suit of the formation of the League of Catholic Women, the organization of which was completed last night
 Catholic women are to shut their doors against the tango, the bunny hug, the turkey trot and similar one step exercises, and not only is the ban to run against the dances, but like wise against the men and women who dance them or who attend dances where these steps are permitted.
 The Catholic women feel that as a result of the tolerance with which these dances have been received in all classes of society that a wave of immortality is sweeping the country.
 They point to the form-outlining diaphanous gown, the excessively slit skirt, the increase in the cigarette smoking by women and declare that the swelling divorce statistics are al- ready demonstrating that as nation we are beginning to reap the harvest from the crop of folly that Americans have sown.
 Among the women who have been selected to lead in the battle against vice in America are Miss Anna Malia of Scranton, Pa, Mrs. Mary McCre- hen of Columbus, O., Mrs. Ellen Dono- van of Indianapolis, Ind, Mrs. T. F. Barrett of Grand Rapids, Mich, Miss Mary Mathews of Canton, O., and Mrs. Fannie Miller of Minneapolis. Minn

I0NCER SESSIONS ]. FUR TARIFF START
-uATE DETERMINED TO PUSH PASSAGE OF MEASURE
 WILL MEET EARLY.
RECRUITS FOR BILL SOUGHT
nemocrats Wondering How Many Proaressive Republicans Will Be Won-SeveraI Are Believed
 to Be Favorably Inclined.

Washington, Aug. 13.-With longer sessions of the senate, the Democrats hagan their long-delayed attempt to speed up the passage of the tariff bill. Instead of converting at noon, as here tofore, the upper house will hereafter meet at ii o'clock. Democrats were cautioned against consuming any time in discussion. Even the senators in charge of the several schedules had determined to make no more than ab- solutely necessary response to the mi nority's attacks.
 Beneath the surface everywhere ran the question as to which Progressive Republicans would be won over to the support of the bill on final roll call. That Poindexter, the only Progressive in the senate, would vote for the bill was agreed on all sides. Whether La Toilette, under fire from his home friends, and Kenyon, determined to kill the aluminium trust, would be sat isfed with certain amendments to the agricultural schedule and free alum mum amendment was an open ques- tlon.
 Clapp Possible Recruit.
 Another possible recruit was con- ceded to be Senator Clapp. His pro test against the present bill has been less against the rates than the meth ods by which it was produced. He in- sists that satisfactory tariff could have been obtained in less time by an open ballot on the floor upon each item with no caucus rule. But he has not promised to vote against the pend- ing measure. Senator Gronna is be- lieved to be a possible supporter if the farmers are given a few conces- sions.

 It is recommended that the legisla- ture take steps to punish for contempt in refusing to testify Louis A. Sa- rocky, who acted as Sulzer's conf. dential secretary during the cam paign, and Frederick l.. Colwell who is alleged to have been the governors representative in some of the stock transactions. Colwell is referred to as "the friend and dummy of William Sulzer in certain Wall street deal ings." s
