TRAIN HITS A ROCK.
Fast Rock Island Flyer Into a Land
slide Near Topeka.

A landslide 1oosened by an all night
rain fell On the Rock Island railway
tracks along the KaW river bluffs near
Topeka at o'clock this morning and
the monster locomotive pulling train
No. 40 was damaged to such an ex-
tent that it was replaced upon reach
ing the Topeka yard limits. The train
did not leave the track despite it's
speed and compact and the passen-
gers knew nothing of the accident.
The bluffs west of Topeka for a few
miles are watched carefully in all
seasons by the railway trackmen.
They tower high above the right of
way with the river dropping twenty
or more feet from the opposite side
of the tracks. Trackmen are en-
ployed to walk the rails day and night.
The rocks fell on the tracks this
morning between the patrol of the
track walkers.
The pilot of the big passenger en-
gine was demolished by the contact
and the rocks were thrown from the
rails. The engineer saw the obstruc-
ton in time to apply his air brakes
but not soon enough to avoid a col
lision. The train was rounding a
curve when the landslide was detected.

inch and A HALF
Rainfall in Topeka Was an
All Night Affair.
Brings Fall for Year Up to
NOrmal-NOt General.

heavy rain fell in Topeka and vi
cinity last night and this morning,
but the rain was not general through
Kansas. In Topeka the rainfall
reached 1.52 this morning, an unusual
rainfall for any one day in October.
Today's rainfall brings the total rain
fall for 1913 up to nearly normal, $3.50
inches having fallen since Jan. /.
During October and September the
rainfall was 11.17 inches, the second
wettest fall on record.
The rain was badly needed by the
farmers for stock water. The entire
upper surface of the ground has re-
ceived a full amount but underneath
the earth is dry. The weather man
believes that there will be more rain
this fall.
The Santa Fe reports only light rain
fall along it's system in the state ex-
cept in Emporia. Dodge City had low
temperature and light local showers
during the night. The mercury fell to
43. La Junta reported threa tening
weather and low temperature but no
rain. Southwest Kansas did not re-
ceive any rainfall. Newton to En-
poria has rs of an inch, while Emporia
had heavy rains. North of Emporia in
Usage county the report only mentions
light showers and east of Topeka only
light rains were recorded.
A Most Miserable Day.
MOSt OF the rain 1e1 during Ine
night, but all day today there was a
drizzle in Topeka and vicinity. The
entire county was soaked by the heavy
rainfall last night aiding the farmers
in their search for stock water.

Portable days experienced this fall
because there was no break in the con-
tinued rain. Street cars were crowded
to the limit this morning and noon
and all cars were late because of the in
creased traffic. "DriZzle' Flora pre-
diets more of the same weather for
tonight and Friday with a slight
chance for sunshine on Saturday.
Warmer and dryer weather should
arrive by that time but it is not i'm
possible for Kansas to receive rain un
til Sunday.
The temperature today was low, sew

Narragansett Warmly Welcomed.
London, Oct. 16.-The oil tank
steamer Narragansett, which arrived
with the milk in the morning, on
the scene of the Volturno disaster and
by scattering tons of oil on the raging
sea helped so much in the rescue
work, met great reception on her
arrival in the Thames today. A band
on board a tug met her down the river
and played conQuering hero and ma
tional airs. The sirens of all the YES
sells in the river sounded and cheers
from the crowds on the river bank
greeted the crew as the Narragansett
reached her wharf. The ship had a
number of survivors on board.
KroonIand Is Delayed.
New York, Oct. 16.-The Red Star
liner Kroonland from Antwerp, which
was one of the ten ships helping in
the rescue of passengers from the
burned steamer Volturno, was steam
ing slowly toward port today delayed
by an accident to its shaft, but it was
expected that it would reach its dock
by nightfall and set ashore Captain
Inch of the lost steamer and ninety
cluding many members of the crew
who were among the last to leave the
doomed vessel.
Wireless advices from the approach
ing rescue ship report that among the
Volturnos passengers on board are
several women separated from their
families, and three little children
whose identity is unknown. A wire
less from G. w. Mcclure, a passenger
on the Kroonland, reports a tragic in
cident, which viewed from the Kroon-
lands deck appeared to be carrying
married couple. The man and woman
were seen to take each others hand
and jump together into the ocean.
Starts Congressional Action.
Washington, oct. 16.-Need of skill
ed seamen to handle lifeboats on
ocean liners and the Volturno disaster
were brought up today when the SEN
ate began work on the seamen's servi
tude bill.
Andrew Feruseth, representative of
the seamenS union in the effort to
obtain legislation improving condi
tions of sailors, gave out statement
attributing part of the loss of life on
the Volturno to the inefficiency of the
lifeboatmen.
'The prominent fact in connection
with the losS,' he said, $50 far as the
information is available is a lack of
skilled men to handle the boats. The
one supreme test of skill in a seaman
and the one most important to the
passengers is the seaman's ability to
lower a boat and get her away from
the side of the vessel when a gale is
blowing"
The senate met today under an
agreement to take up the bill and dis
cal with one to which President Taft
gave a pocket veto.

morning, women in various parts of

will be especially backward. 1t is pos

EFFECT OF THE TARIFF
In Its Relation to Government Reve-
nue. Soon to Be Known.

Washington. Oct. 16.-The actual
effect of the new tariff law upon the
government revenue will presently be
disclosed by detailed comparisons and
computations now being made for Sec
retary McAdoo. The estimates of ex-
penses for all branches of the govern
ment are almost finished. President
Wilson has passed word along for
sane economy and treasury officials
interpret it as to neither raise the
estimates beyond what is necessary to
provide a margin for the congression-
al appropriation committee to cut
down-a practice charged by official
against past regimes nor to stint any
government service so much as to
cripple it.
While the customs revenues have
fluctuated too much to warrant any
satisfactory estimate as to what may
be expected the internal revenue re-
ceiptS are running up a normal in
crease all along the line, far show
ing $4,000,0O0 ahead of the same
period of the last fiscal year.

Informal Vote in Secret Session.
All of the eight articles of impeach-
ment will be discussed in the secret
sessions and informal votes taken on
them This is for the purpose of Civ
portunity to air his views and permit
a mutual exchange of ideas regarding
the law and the evidence. The first
article was under informal discussion
when court adjourned last night
1t was expected all the other arti-
cles would be covered informally and
the vote reached today. Even after
the final voting begins, there are likely
to be long delays. Many of the court
besides the judges, are attorneys and
most of the legal minds desire to give
lengthy explanations before their vot-
ing.
The trial has been in progress a
month today. The eight articles will
be voted on separately in order. Not
until after the eight have been voted
on will vote be taken as to whether
Sulzer should be removed from office
Conviction on even one article would
be sufficient grounds which to re-
move him but on the other hand con-
viction on all of the articles need not
mean necessarily that he would be
cast out. He might be found guilty
and still be permitted to retain his
removal from office and prohibition
from ever again holding a position of
honor or trust under the state.
Voting Will Be Public.
Before going into secret session this
morning, Presiding Judge Cullen en-
phasized to the newspaper men the
fact that the present sessions of the
court were of the nature of a private
consultation among the members of
the court to formulate the views which
will determine their final action" and
that this action would be taken in pub
lie.
I'm the Judge Barnard Impeachment
case" he said, the vote was taken in
private consultation. 1t is not the in
tention of the court to take the vote in
that manner in this case The vote
will be taken in public. What is going
on now is simply a private consulta-
ton among the members of the court
to formulate their views, which will
determine their final action. 1t is the
same procedure as is followed in every
other court which is composed of more
than one person, where the question
is of sufficient gravity for a private
consultation"
An extra guard of police was placed
before the doors of the court today and
those interested in the course of the
trial were not allowed to congregate

Paris, Oct. 16.-Provisional President
Huerta of Mexico has obtained loan

Now there were a lot of young

meant that they, too, must seek

took place, according to one who was

According to q statement made
even hundred tons of herring shipped
from the West Coast of Prince of
Wales island, to Japan were used as
fuel on the steamer that carried the
cargo. The vessel ran short of fuel
before it reached it's destination, and
after the fish had been all fed to the
urnace, the ship was stripped of most
of it's woodwork and this also was
burned. The steamer finally reached
port.
