OConnor, of Schreiber, Ontario, was
drowned, and other crew members
and passengers narrowly escaped
death shortly after 2 o'clock yester-
day morning when the first section
of t. Canadian Pacific railroads I'M
perial Limited, west bound from
Montreal to Vancouver, was wreck
ed near Coldwell, 175 miles east of
Fort William. Ont.
The wreck was caused by the en-
gine jumping the track at a point
where the road skirts Lake Superior
on a ledge thirty to fifty feet above
the water The engine plunged in
to the lake carrying Fireman O'Con-
ner to his death. The engineer
jumped as the engine left the track
and escaped injury. Baggage cars,
dining car and the heavily loaded
Pullmans remained on the top of the
grade.
A severe storm swept across the
north shore of Lake Superior all
night, carrying down poles and tele-
graph wires for many miles east Of
White River, Ont. For this reason
Canadian Pacific officials experience
ed difficulty in communicating from
Fort William with trainmen at the
point where the wreck occurred. The
communication was intermittent for
several hours but sufficient informa-
tion was received to warrant an an
nouncement that none OF the passen-
gers had been killed or injured.

OFFICIALS IN CONTROVERSY
Supt. Long, of Corning Schools, Re-
signs as Result of Criticism of His
Action in Circulating Petition.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 21.-Various
persons in Page and Adams counties
official and otherwise, have become
involved in the controversy over the
Jones-Runyon elopement and sen
fencing of Jones to term of five
years in prison on a charge of kid
naping. At Corning, Superintendent,
of City Schools r. e. Long became
interested in Jones' behalf to the ex-
tent that he circulated petition
asking for the release of Jones. D.
II. Myerhoff, president of the school
board, criticized superintendent
Long for this act, the critiscism be-
ing made in a public manner, where
upon Mr.. Long rendered his resigna-
tion as superintendent to the school
board.
Mrs. Darling, of Shenandoah, sis
ter of Earl Jones at whose home
Jones and Miss Runyan were when
Jones was arrested, was mystitied by
her brothers action in pleading
guilty until she received letter
from him in which Jones said he
plead guilty to save Miss Runyan
from having to come into court and
be thus embarrassed.
This explanation fails to con-
vince the friends of Jones who are
working in his behalf. They declare
that the incident was the culmina-
tion of love affair, pure and simple,
and that it was an elopement, for
which no criminal charge will lie
The fact that Jones carried a gun
which he threw away at New Mar
ket when he believed the coast was
clear, is explained by his friends who
insists that he carried the gun mere
ly to protect Miss Runyan from pur-
suers and to keep them off until they
had escaped. The note which Miss
Runyan sent to her father from Red
Oak merely stated that she was all
right and for him not to worry about
her. 1t is contended that the note
did not contain suggestion that she
was being forced to accompany
Jones. 1t is claimed that at no time
was Miss Runyan other than a most
willing captive.

American Admiral Under Orders to
Take Any Steps

REBEL CHIEF PROMISES
Pledges That He Will Not VIOLATE
Rights of Foreigners at
Tuxpam.

Washington, D. c., Nov. "a
Rear Admiral Fletcher. commanding
the American feet on the east coast
of Mexico, late yesterday cabled the
navy department a message he had
received from General Aguilar, the
constitutionalist leader who has oc-
cupiet the vicinity of Tuxpam, CIV
ing assurances that American and
other extensive oil interests in that
territory would be protected.
Admiral Fletcher is under orders
to take such steps as may be neces-
sary to protect foreign lives and
property. reports from Tuxpam hav-
ing indicated that the constitution
alists were threatening to destroy
the tanks Of British oil interests
This led to talk of the possibility Of
the landing of marines or blue
jackets from the American battle
ships and developments in the situ-
alton have been awaited with in
tense interest.
General Aguilar's message, sent in
reply to Admiral Fletcher's demand
that no harm should come to for
eigners or their property said:
"I am governing on a constitution
al basis. my attitude being to guard
the interests Of all foreign and do
mestic oil corporations existing in
the territory I occupy, fulfilling in
this manner the demands of civiliza-
tion and not being governed by cap
rice or vengeance"
Officials here think this means
there will be no troublesome compli-
cations as result of Aguilar's occu-
patton of the oil fields territory. De-
struction; of the tanks would have
endangered the lives of many Ameri-
cans and other foreigners. Two Brit
ish armored cruisers have been or
dered to the scene, but in the mean
time the United States has been ask
ed to guard British interests.
Frequent conferences yesterday
between Secretary Bryan, Counsellor
John Bassett Moore and Acting Sec
retary Roosevelt and two visits by
the secretary of state to the White
house. accompanied by Mr.. Roose-
welt, were the outward marks OF the
deep interest felt in official circles in
the Mexican situation.
1t developed that the welfare of
the two Madero brothers and their
relatives. who had sought asylum in
the American consulate at Vera Cruz,
was a subject discussed at these con-
ferences. There was a strong desire
on the part of the administration to
learn whether any resistance had
been offered by the local Mexican
authorities tp the removal of the ref
ugees aboard a battleship, and it was
quite apparent that sense of relief
was experienced when it was learned
that It had not been necessary to en-
ploy force.
Late in the day the department re-
ceived a cablegram from Admiral
Fletcher announcing that Daniel
Madero aud five companions were re-
caved yesterday morning on board
the Louisiana as refugees"
1t was said at the navy depart
ment that no special instructions
had been given in regard to the
Of the refugees although |
he had been told to confer with John |
