Nsi In Wreckage
16 BODIES so FAR
RECOVERED FROM DEBRIS
No Americans Have Yet Been
Identi6ed Among Victims of.
!, Crash

PARIS, Nov. 6.--Sixteen bodies had
hseu recovered today from perhaps
the worst railway disaster In the his
tory OF France, which occurred last
night, near Melun, on the PariSLyons'
Mediterranean railway. It was esti'
mated that the total dead would
reach 40. Scores were injured. many
of them fatally. The seriously In.
jured were being brought to Paris hos
litals by special train.
A night mail train. made up en-
tirely Of postal cars collided head-on
with the day express from Marseilles
to Paris. The blame, according to
railway ofYicials. rests on the express
engine driver, who passed Melun sta
tion, 81 miles from Paris, where he
should have waited for the mail train.
The majority OF the dead are be-
lieved to be postal clerks, OF whom
there were so or more at work when
the collision occurred. The Marseilles.
Paris day express Is train much
used by Americans. but none had been
identified among the dead and injur-
cd today.
President Poncare and his wife au-
tomobiled today to the scene OF the
wreck. For several hours the presi-
dent and Mrs. Poincare watched the
work Of rescue. Sixteen bodies had
been recovered today.
One Of the most pitiful incidents OF
the catastrophe was the death Of in
fantry Captain Amic. Of Lyons. who
was pinned for 10 hours during the
ntkht, under the tender Of the express
train. He begged the doctors to put
him out Of his misery. Thay Quilted
him with morphine and he died before

ev JOHN EDWIN NEvlN,


(stas Correspondent United Prsss.)
NEW YORK. Nov. Charles FFanr:
els Murphy has been recalled by the
voters of New York. Even his close
friends admitted this today. It was
also the construction generally placed
on yesterdays landslide by the voters
inside and outside Of Tammany.
Shorn of all patronage In this city,
the Tiger faces the leanest four years
in its history. Organization leaders
awoke today full of fight. They
placed the blame entirely on MUIR
phys leadership. It was generally
accepted that there win be y new
deal in the wigwam and another head
before the next election rolls around.
Surveying the wreck Of what was,
month ago, the best equipped po-
litical machine ever constructed. Tam
manyites today could nnd nothing
that looked hopeful. The fusion
sweep had been complete. Manhat-
tan, stronghold Of Tammany, the one
great fortifcation that In the past
had always repelled the enemy, had
surrendered.
So enormous has been the landslide
which elected John Purroy Mitchell.
"a years Jold. who will be New York's
youngest mayor, that It carried into
ONCE the fusion county ticket In New
York county. Tammanyites could
hardly believe this. They hocked to
the headquarters on Tourteenth-st.. to
ask In awed whispers whether. the
strongholds of Murphy, Of Sullivan,
Of THE" McManus, and the other dis
trict chieftains, who never before
faced defeat, had been carried by the
enemy And they we're told that this
was true.
The wreck was complete. and all
realized that sncwballs would be the
chief article Of diet on the machine
menu for the next four years.
The question that overshadowed
even the result OF yesterdays election
Is how Tammany Is to be reorganlzed.
OF course, Murphy reiterated that he
will not quit. But the organization
never forgives what is popularity
termed. within the ranks, "fat-head-
sisting TO his intimates that he would
stay Mt the helm, the district leaders
were scanning the horizon for a new
pilot.
They we're looking toward Washing
ton. President Wilson Is expected to
help, through the selection OF sue
cessor 10 John Purroy Mitchell as col
lector Of the port II Is believed he
wifi name man who can have the
support OF all stripes OF Democracy
In the city. and who will be able,
through the powerful patronage OF
his offlce. to reorganize Tammany
hall along modern progressive lines

New Works Full Crew Law.

In giving his approval to the full
crew law Governor Sulzer of New York
said:
Every safeguard, it seems to me-
should be employed by the railroads to
prevent wrecks, to protect the property
of shippers and to conserve human life
and limb not only of the employees
but of the travelling public. The pro-
gressive spirit of the time demands it.
and the trend of present day legislation
Is all that way. The Inauguration OF
these reforms, in my opinion, will ere
ate greater safety and establish more
efficiency in the operation Of railway
transportation"
The bill requires that on all freight
trains of twenty-five cars or more on
roads of more than fifty miles in length
there shall be at least three brakemen.
On passenger trains of five cars or
more there must be at least two train.
men. and on passenger trains having q
baggage car there must be baggage.
man. On freight trains Of less than
twenty-five cars the law states that
there must be two or more brakemen.

SawmiIl Strike Predicted.

That there will be a general strike OF
men employed IN the logging camps
and sawmills Of western Washington
not later than JuYy l was the statement
made in Centralia recently by j. w.
Jennings, an ex-logging contractor. The
strike is to be called by members Of the
Industrial Workers Of the World.
Preparations for this great strike
have been going on for many months
Quietly, but steadily. the members OF
the Industrial Workers Of the World
have been flowing to this section Of the
state, and now every logging camp and
every sawmill has members of this or
ganization in their crews. The idea OF
waiting until July before calling the
strike Is that at that time harvesting
will be commenced in eastern Wash
ington. and unskilled labor will be In
great demand"
