INQUIRY.
LOS ANGELES July 14.-Motorman R. P. For
ester who at the controller of the big steel in

crashed into standing coach last night killing thr
teen passengers, could not be found today He was
not at his home, and mis- body is not at any city

cate him, with the possibility of laying the blame for
the wreck on him.
The trains were filled with pleasure seekers re-
turning from the seashore at Venice one OF the Los
Angeles beach resorts.
The leading train was stalled by a broken trolley
wire A brakeman was sent back to flag the next
train, but the heavy nterurban car was coming at
tremendous speed shot past the fagman and crashed
into the standing train Some of the injured were
terribly mangled, while most of the killed were cut
to pieces. The heavy cars were torn into bits OF
wood and steel wreckage and it was hours before
bodies could be removed.
One young woman, expensively dressed, is among
the unidentified dead. The bodies of man and
woman, who were evidently seated together on the
wrecked train are also unidentified. The man wore
a signet ring with the initials "E M. B." Great
excitement has been caused by the wreck and the
pullic demands rigid inquiry.

BY FRED L. BOALT


Whatever his past may have been, Convict
No. 2146 has redeemed it,
He has done more for prison reform than any
reformer living
The report of the federal grand jury on condi
tions in Uncle Sans prison McNeils island
bears out the charges made by Convict 2146 and
makes recommendations which, if acted on,
should transform that institution from hell on
earth to model prison.
Look at the map McNeils island is tucked
away in corner Geographically and actually
it is isolated. 1t has seldom been inspected. In
his little world of guards and cOnvicts, the war
den was king.
To McNeils island went a man, young and
clean of body, under the ban of the law, and he
became No. 2146 He fell victim to the Black
Plague He saw others, as clean of body at the
outset as himself, fall victims of the Black
Plague.
He had nothing to gain, and much to lose by
complaining. Any reformation could not help
him The Plague had him, and he was doomed.
Nevertheless, there must dwell in the breast
of this man, convict and outcast though he be,
a sense of that duty which every man owes to his
fellow.
He wrote letters telling of conditions in the
prison-etters to persons in authority, letters to
persons of wealth and influence, and finally
letter to The Times.
His letter did not reach The Times
Finally in his extremity he evolved plan at
once plausible and bizarre for letting the "out-
side" know what he had to say
On the margins of an old copy of the "Chris.
itan Science Journal he wrote with a pointed
stick in invisible ink.
That letter Git took him weeks to complete it,
writing secretly at night in his celD was deliv-
cred to The Seattle Star by Robert Bacon re-
leased prisoner and also Black Plague victim.
When the magazine was delivered to the Of
flee, the invisible writing was made visible
with hot flatiron.
The letter charged that clean men were forced
TO cell with unclean men; that -uncean men

But the mean man was having
the time of his life.
Nobody's been able to see the
number on his machine yet.
Some say that he was Tilted
that the girl he was to marry left
him waiting at the church, and
that he became embittered and re-
solved to take revenge on all low
ers.
Othere are sure he's Just natur-
ally mean.
And the Benevolent and protec-
tive Order of AnalNamatea Park
f3enchers Is plotting to scatter
carpet tacka in the road the next
/ time the saafehIiehl fiend goes BY.

worked in the kitchen and handled the food;
that the disease was spreading and no adequate
measures were taken to check it, 1t specifically
mentioned Deputy Warden G.. W. Brooke and
the medical staff.
The letter was referred to the district attor-
ney. The district attorney laughed.
But the Department of Justice at Washing
ton took another view. 1t did not scom to
notice the cry of Convict No. 2146 from his cell
at McNeils island.
Now note the sequel and the triumph of Con-
Wet No. 2146.
The federal grand jury reported to Judge
Cushman at Tacoma Saturday. After the man
ner of grand juries everywhere, it let the per-
sons whose conduct is inquired into down as
"easy'' as possible. In preamble the report
declares the complaints have been "eXaggerat
ed" 1t CLOSES over the conditions where it can.
BUT
Convict No. 2146 says that the sanitary con-
ditions at the prison are bad. The report recon-
mends that a sanitary inspector be permanently
appointed.
Black Plague cesspool. The report recon-
mends that an expert be sent to McNeils island
to take measures to stamp out the Black Plague.
Convict No. 2146 says that clean men are
compelled to occupy cells with men suffering
from the Black Plague The report recon-
mends that Black Plague victims should not be
permitted to cell with clean men.
Convict No. 2146 says that Black Plague vic
Tins work in the kitchen and handle the food.
The report recommends that Black Plague vic
Tins shall be forbidden to work in the kitchen
or handle the food
Convict No. 2146 says that he wrote between
80 and 40 letters to the newspapers before he
thought of the invisible ink plan. The report
recommends that the complaint blanks be used,
and that complaining prisoners be furnished
with carbon copy, so that the warden can be
held responsible for unanswered complaints.
The report provides that every convict in the
prison shall be examined as to health every
month and charts made and filed showing his
physical condition

PREDICT HARD
FIGHT IN SERIES

New York. Oct. 4-Opinion regard
ing the outcome of the worlds series
appears to be unusually divided. Prom
inent baseball players and writers are
predicting a close series of games
with low scores predominating. All
speak of the luck or break of the
game being an important factor in the
ultimate winning of the championship.
The same situation has developed in
the betting. Outside of the home
cities of the two competing clubs the
wagering is at even money.
In Philadelphia the Athletics are
slight favorites over the New York
team, and here local supporters are
quoting odds of 10 to on the Giants.
