ing him against destruction of the
debris of the wooden coaches In one
or two previous wrecks the New Ha-
ven officials had. coincident with TAX

just as quickly, begun the work of de-
stroying wrecked passenger equip
ment, so that when safety appliance
inspectors arrived on the scene, gen.

of the wrecked coaches.
Statistics at the commission show
that the New Haven road has at least
score and a half of passenger coaches
that were used in transporting troops
in the civil war, these going into servi
ice in 1862. At the most recent in
vestigation of the commission into
wrecks on the New Haven it developed
that out of 2,2SS cars of various types
comprising the passenger equipment
owned by the New Haven in June, 1913,
only thirty-one were of all-steel con-
structton. and numbered among the
2,2SS were the veterans of the war be-
tween the States.
In the decade preceding 1881, 13S
were built; 744 in the next decade, 311
in the next, and $50 in-the next decade.
Enghty mine coaches were built in 1912
and in 1918 the New Haven has added
three passenger coaches to its equip
ment.

Senators Gallinger and Hollis
Air Political Troubles Of
New Hampshire.
SEVERAL CHANGES MADE
Duty on Time Detectors Lowered-A-
terations in the Lead and
Zinc Paragraphs.

Four speeches in the Senate yester-
day interfered with the consideration
OF rates in the tariff bill. Senator
Root addressed the Senate for half an
hour on the income tax. He advocated
a reduction of the exemption to $1,000
and warned the Democratic leaders
against fixing too high rate on the
higher incomes. He intimated that the
Senators from some of the Western
and Southern agricultural States might
find themselves open to the charge Of
trying to shift the burden of taxation
from the backs of their own consutu-
ents to those of the industrial States,
like New York.
Senator GalIinger and Senator Hol-
lis aired the political troubles of New
Hampshire in the early part of the
day. Senator Gallinger made speech
to try to prove that the New England
textile mills are sanitary and the con-
ditions of the employees one of health
and prosperity. Senator Hollis replied.
declaring that the figures furnished by
Mr.. Gallinger were open to successful
attack, and invited Mr.. Gallinger to
try for reelection for the Senate to
test the issue raised between the Sem
ators before the people of New Hamp-
shire. Senator Gallinger replied that
he had not taken himself out OF the
race for reelection, but that II he did
he would still be on the stump and in
the tight to vindicate the Republican
principles of protection to the textile

Spectators say that the White Noun
tain train was running at least forty
miles an hour when it hit the train ahea1.
The same spectators also say that the
fiagman sent back from the Bar Harbor
express went back such a short distance
that when the White Mountain train
dashed down he was able to warn two
porters on the last platform to jump for
their lives.
In fixing the blame for the disaster,
Inspector Belnap will look closely into

The main reason for the heavy loss OF
life was the fact that the last two cars
of the Bar HarSor express were of wood.
The Mogul engine of the White Noun
tain train tore through these as IL they
were so many boxes, and shattered them
into kindling wood.
Some parts Of the cars were hurled 100
feet away. Some Of the dead were thrown
fifteen feet. The passengers had no
chance for their lives. Except a few
who had started to dress, they were in
their berths, the majority probably still
asleep. They were crushed to death as
they slept.
1t was learned tonight that only a few
hours before the wreck occurred Presi-
dent Elliott had himself passed over the
Springfield Division. He gave out this
statement at the general offices OF the

Lewis Answers Root.

Senator Thompson OF Kansas spoke
briefly in support of the tariff bill. The
round of oratory was completed by Sem
ator Lewis of Illinois, who essayed TO
reply to Mr.. Root. The Illinois Senator
made much of an expression used by
Mr.. Root in his speech, in which the
New Senator had referred to his New
York constituents as my people" Mr..
Lewis insisted that this class adopted
by Senator embraced the rich people
who live in a territory bounded by Wall
Street and the Waldorf and Bar Harbor
and Palm Beach. Mr.. Root sat silent
most Of the time Senator Lewis was
talking apparently not taking the attack
upon him seriously. Mr.. Lewis referred
10 a speech by Senator Root during the
Roosevelt administration, which started
the talk about New Nationalism." This
was the only time Senator Root took
note of the remarks of the Senator from
Illinois. He rose long enough to say that
1t was evident that Mr.. Lewis had not
read the speech TO which he had made
reference.

in the bill yesterday. Time detectors
were transferred from paragraph l63 to
paragraph l67, which resulted in lower
