NEED MORE REVENUE
WABASH OFFICIAL SAYS ROADS
ARE IN DESPERATE STRAITS.
Declare Five Per Cent Increase Insult
ficient for Lines In Central Freight
Association Territory.

Washington, April 6.-Declaring
that the railroads in Central Freight
association territory are in desperate
straits for increased revenues, w. w.
Maxwell, general manager of the Wa
bash, urged the interstate commerce
commission Friday to grant the five
per cent increase in rates in that ter
ritory.
Il am confident that a five per cent
raise in rates is insufficient to keep
the railroads out of the hands of re-
ceivers unless readjustment is made
in Central Freight association terri
tory to bring these rates up to'those
in official classification territory" said
Mr. Maxwell.
AN increase of five per cent would
not meet the needs in the Central
Freight association territory. The
only way to save the situation is a
general reorganization of rates. The
rates here are lower than in any sec
ton of the world"
rs it not fact that the roads in
Central Freight association territory
are much better off than those in the
East?" asked Clements.
mo, sir, they are in desperate cir
cumstances," replied the witness.
The testimony of Mr.. Maxwell
closed the railroads direct testimony
in the case.

TRAIN GOES IN RIVER
SPAN ON WABASH ROAD COL.
LAPSES IN kDlANA-THREE
KILLED AND so HURT.
CREW VICTIMS OF CRASH
Passengers Saved From Death by
Breaking of CcupIing-Engne and
Three Cars Plunge Off Structure
One Wreck Was Just Cleared Away.

Attica, Ind, April THE Wabash
river bridge collapsed on Sunday and
hurled the Continental Limited train
of the Wabash system into the ditch
and partly into the river. Three per-
sons were killed, another hurt and 80
others less seriously hurt.
Wrecking crews had just cleared
earlier in the day. Apparently the SUP,
ports of the bridge had been weakened,
for the whole span under the engine
crumpled
The dead are: Tim Hull, engineer,
Peru, Ind, married; Jacob Miller, fire
man, Peru, Ind, married; j. A. Thorn
as, express messenger, Huntington,
Ind. The engine, tender and three cars
plunged through the broken span, all
falling a distance of about thirty feet
to the bank of the river, and one car
partly submerged. Only the breaking
of the couplings prevented the ramain-
der of the train from falling, and only
the fact that the cars were of steel
averted terrible loss of life.
One passenger car was half way over
the edge of the pier on the river side
of the broken span. When the forward
cars fell the weight and momentum of
this car sent the forward end topping
downward
Every passenger was hurled in a
screaming, fighting mass to the front
end of the car, and finally it became
apparent to them that the car was no
longer moving, and that they would be
all right if they would extricate them
selves, which they did, quickly.
