RAILROADS URGE A
 WRECK INVESTIGATION
Address Long Telegram to Members
 of Senate and House.

Chicago Sept. .-Representatives of eleven railroads tonight sent a long telegram to the commerce committees of the senate and the house of rep resentatives and the Interstate Com merce Commission urging the mem- bers to make a full investigation of the causes of railroad accidents before undertaking any legislation to prevent Wrecks
 The telegram asserts that while all railroads were replacing their wooden cars with steel cars as fast as possible a law demanding that wooden cars be done away with at once would cost the roads S633, 900 GOO.
 The roads also declared that records showed that 92 per cent of the number killed by the railroads each year were not passengers but trespassers.
 The last report Of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows" the message continued, that of forty-nfne collision accidents investigated. 4S had been caused by the failure of some employe &0 do his duty and that thir- teen of these had occurred in lines having block signals.
 Figures show that block signals are no specific for collisions and steel cars do not prevent accidents-merely init igate their effects"

 When the president was asked to comment on the votes of Senator La Toilette and Senator Poindexter he expressed very warm admiration for their conscientious independence and courage"
 The president while always confident that the democratic majority would be kept intact to insure the passage Of the biH by safe margin, had been hoping for the votes of progressive re- publicans; He told some of his friends tonight that aid of this kind outside of the party ranks was one of the con- crete evidences that the democratic party was progressive.
 Personally the president felt happy over the result. He had just returned rom the SOIL llnAS when secretary Tumulty who had been an eager au- ditOr in the senate gallery, drove rap idly to the White House and bearni.s with smiles told the president of the vote.

MISSING MANS BODY
 FOUND IN A TRUNK.
So Badly Deoornposed 1t is impossible
 To Determine cause>of Death.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 9.-The body of Charles Robinson of Brooklyn, N Y, a bOokmaker's clerk, who had been missing since the Connaught Park race meet. was found in a. trunk in a vacant house at 38S Somerset street tonight. The police immediately began an investigation into what may provo to be murder difficult of solution
 The trunk was discovered under a pile of coke in the basement, where it had evidently lain for some time. The body was so badly decomposed that the discOverers were unable to determine by what means Robinson had met his death.
 Robinson, who was an employe of Nathan Shapiro, was last seen the night of Thursday, August 2S, and his employer notified the Ottawa authori- ties of his disappearance.
 The police are working on a strong clue obtained from the real estate agent who has the renting of the place where the body was found. Agust 30 d man who gave no name obtained the keys of the place from the real estate agent, saying he desired to open a. clothing store and was looking for d location. He retained the keys until the following Tuesday Meantime, the police think the body of Robinson had been packed In the trunk, those com hitting the murder awaiting an oppor- tunitY to dispose of it. Between Satur- day and the Tuesday following the body is thought to have been brought to the house.
 The correct name of the murdered man, it is learned, was Abe Ruben stein. He lived in Brooklyn with his wife, mother and sister. No arrests have been made in the case. The po- lice are searching for the hackmen who took the trunk containing tho body to the Somerset street house.

STEEL COACHES SAVE
 LIVES IN 4 WRECK.
Thirty five Injured When Pennsylvania
 Flyer was Ditched.

New Madison. Ohio, Sept 9-An alI-steel train probably saved q score of persons from being killed today when the Pennsylvania flyer that left New York at 80 last night and due in St Louis at G. 30 this evening, was ditched by q raised rail near Wylie's Station, four miles west of here today and 5 persons injured. Three, it is believed. were fatally hurt and eighteen are in 3 hospital at Richmond, Ina, tOnlE-It.a
 Running at a high rate of speeI to make up lost time, the train struck a defective rail on the Columbus and Indianapolis division of the DennSyI- vania Railroad about fifty feet from the approach to small steel bridge To- cated at the edge of Wylie'E Station. The train ran along the cross tics un- til the engis1e hit one side of he bridge. tore 1t from it's foundation and fell with it half d dozen feet to the creek bed Six steel coaches were flung to the other side of the track and turned over in cornfield, the first near the edge of the little stre am Two rear coaches, an observation direr and g. Prllman, remained upright on the track bed
 Those believed to be fatally injured are;
 J. ". Tharp fireman.
 George B. Wright, St. Louis manu- ia ctUrer
 George Walker, colored porter.
 When the fact tkat the accident had occurred became known relief trans Wifh physicians Weic rushed UO Ihe scene. Women passengers o14 the wrecked train supplied underskirts to make temporary bandages for those hurt and as soon as possible the relief train took to Richmond all persons whose injuries required medical atten- tiOn.
 The portion of the track where the wreck occurred was washed out during the floods in March. A particularly sharp curve leads to the bridge and the new filling there never had settled. Heavy engines passing over this weak track are said to have caused the raised rail
 None of the steel coaches was much damaged though aIk were scared by rails. ties and earth and with com paratively little repair all can be re placed fn service, Injuries to pasSen- gers Were caused almost exclusively by falling and being thrown about in the coaches, though some were cut by living

RECORD WHEAT CROP,
 CORN CROP BLIGHTED.
Features of Government Report Issued
 Yesterday.

Washington. Sept. 9-An enormous loss in the prospective production of corn and indications of the biggest wheat crop ever produced, were the features of the government Septern ber crop report, issued this afternoon. Hot weather and drOuth in a number of the principal corn growing states during the month ending September 10 caused a deterioration of corn which experts calculate has resulted iu the loss o1 S21, ,o00,00O bushels, reducing the corn crop estimates to 2,3A1 .00G, 900 bushels. This destructive crop weather caused a loss of about 300 ,0oO, COG bushels dur ing July and the August loss brought the total up to 621, 900 bushels since the first estimates of corn crop DrOs- poets were made by the government.
 Texas alone of the six greatest corn growing states held her own during August. Nebraska Was hardest l.it- the deterioration there during inc month amounting to 30 per cent. bring ing the condition of the crop tO g. Der cent. of a normal. Never before n the history of the country has there been such a bountiful wheat harvesJ aS has been gathered this year. This was due principally to the bumper crop of winter wheat. Today's government eS- innate of the spring wheat crop show ed increased prospects for that crop. making the total production 243,000Ut0 bushels, or an increase of 4.3 per cent. over the August esttInA te. This in- crease brought the estimate of total wheat crop of the country to 7540d0.- 900 bushels, or six million bushels more than the great record crop of 1901.
 Oats crop prospects, too, showed an increase of S.7 per cent 6s 8 result of the conditions existing in August, and the crop now is estimated at 1,06G,- 000. .000 bushels, or sS,000,000 bushels more than predicted in August.
