Wreck.--Many soldiers
Among the Dead.

CARLISLE, England, May 22.--
More than one hundred persons
may have been crushed or burned
to death in the wreckiug of three
passenger trains on the Caledonia
railway near Gretna today, accord
ing to dispatches received here early
this afternoon.
Sixty bodies have been recover
cd The railway st9,lon received 4
telegram saying the wreckage caught
fire and burned 50 rapidly that many
bodies are believed to have been in
clueratcsl and that the loss of life
win be larger than first reported.
Three hundred injured, many of
them being soldiers, have been re
moved to hospitals. Meager dis
patches reported that special troop
train enroute to Carlisle carrying
several hundred soldiers collided
head-on with an express train that
left Carlisle early this morning. Still
another express train plowed into the
wreckage OF the two trains before
warning signals could be set.
Physicians and nurses on special
trains went to the scene at noon. A
Red Cross detachment was also call
! cd. Four British officers are among
| the dead. and at least so others Of
the dead are soldiers. 1t is reported
that the troop train carried 500 SOL
diers,
Only tfty-two out OF the 500 sol
diers answered roll call after the
wreck. While some We're undoubt-
eddy helping their wounded com
| panions it is believed a majority of
| the soldiers were killed.
An explosion among the cartridges
carried on the troop train added to
the horror of the disaster by killing
outright many of the wounded sol
diers while they were still pinned
| beneath the wreckage.

verdict for Colonel Roosevelt in the
trial OF the William Barnes 5000
libel suit against the colonel was
finally returned today by the jury
The verdict WAS unanimous One OF
! Barnes attorneys rose With an oh
lection to the verdict because the
jury was polled yesterday, Justice
Andrews oHerruled the objection
The colonel then thanked the jurors
and posed for his picture
When tie foreman announced the
verdict the crowd disregarded the
judges admonition against de
monstration and broke into wild
I cheers, The crowd rushed forward
to grasp the colonei's hand but he
! brushed them aside aud hurried
over to shake hands y it'll Metorman
Burns, who had been finally Won
over Tor the colonel's side Then he
disengaged himself from the crowd
and turned to give the jury his
thanks. Justice Andrews was en-
gagged at this time 50 the colonel
led the jury to nearby room to
make a speech.
Forty-onc ballots were taken be
fore a final decision was reached
In the jury room the colonel
seemed to be deeply moved and he
declared that he had been deeply
touchd by what these men had done
in his behalf
II want to say that | appreciate
to the fullest the obligation you men

cal belief have put me under, he

shall behave myself as an American
citizen should, feeling a double duty
under the obligations you have
placed on me.
Attorney Bowers. of Roosevelt :
counsel. issued a formal statement
after the verdict was returned de
claring that the Roosevelt article was
fully justified and the verdict was Il
victory for good government. He
held that this was the most impor-
tant case decided since the civil r-lr
as it determined that a government
by the people instead OF machine
government should prevail.
1T is impossible to determine at
this time the far reaching extent
this verdict will have in favor of
good government" said Bowers. 1T
certainly assures us that the Anglo
Saxon system of determining qhes-
lions between litigation is rightly
| lodged In the hands OF jury OF
twelve. Moreover it determined that
mrors holding political views OPP
posed to those held by the parties
are not 10 be swayed thereby In
determining questions submitted to

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Mention
OF resistance of officers of the law
featured the hearing before the fed
eral commission on industrial rela-
tons today. John D. Rockefelier
.]r. was on the stand again today.
He told Chairman Walsh that he
would use force to defend his life in
case he was attacked. He laid down
the principle that an officer of the
law should not be attacked. Walsh
asked in hypothetical question
what Rockefeller would do if a sher-
if. with no regard for the law, to-
gether with three foreigners enter
ed his house and tried to deport him
knowing the character of the
sheriffs visit would you submit?"
Rockefeller was asked.
IF a mans life was about to be
taken I would not he replied.
mo. there is no intention to take
your life. only to deport you
Rockefeller retorted that he had
already given answer which he be-
lieved were sufficient.
Walsh then introduced reports
showing the deportation of miners
from Colorado and that Rockefeller
admitted having knowledge OF the
fact.
One letter from Bowers reported
that Governor Ammons ordered
Mother" Jones to leave the state
end commanded her not to return.
Rockefeller was not particularly
communicative on Walsh's question
concerning the fact that the four
teenth amendment to the federal
constitution prohibiting deportation
He expressed himself as being in
favor of doing what was right and
would not promise to have Bowers
discharged for his part in the depor-
tation OF Mother Jones even If he
learned that Bowers had a hand in
It.
