young men of progressive thought will

that party as progressive as it should

KATY WRECK
NEAR CUSHING
WEDNESDAY
SIXTEEN INJURED, NONE FATAL
LY, WHEN CARS ARE THROWN
INTO DITCH - CAUSE OF THE
WRECK Is UNKNOWN.

Oklahoma City, May 26,-SiNteen
people were injured, none fatally,
Wednesday morning when a coach
and the baggage and mail car of Katy
passenger train No. 20, Kansas City
to Oklahoma City, were deraled and
thrown into a ditch about four miles
west of Cushing The front trucks
OF a chair car directly behind the
wrecked coach also left the track
but the car remained standing. Both
Pullman cars carried by the train
kept the track. All Of the injured
were occupants of the front coach
and smoker, employees in the mail
and baggage car, or trainmen.
Full and official reports of the
wreck received at headquarters of the
Katy here late Wednesday showed
that seven of the injured are resi-
dents of Oklahoma City, but none of
these were seriously hurt The most
dangerously injured of ALL according
to reports, is w. F. Mcdonald OF
Gushing, who was severely cut on
the head and body, bruised and shak-
en- up internally.
All passengers save those living in
Cushing were brought to Oklahoma
City, the train carrying them being
detoured over the Santa Fe and the
Fort Smith & Western railways a por-
tion of the way. The train reached
here at 1886 Wednesday afternoon.
1t was due at 1905 in the morning.
Officials of the road say the cause
of the wreck is unknown. The two
cars wrecked were pulled from the
track by the engine tender, which
left the rails from an unknown cause.
Although turning over completely the
cars fort.nately did not collapse, and
this is responsible for the fact that
no lives were lost.

Washington, May 2G.-Conferences
between representatives of the inan
cial and business interests of the
United States and delegates from
South and Central America attending
the Pan American financial confer.
ence were continued Wednesday in
an effort to bring about a clear under
standing of the desires and needs OF
the southern republics.
The committee on transportation
which has under consideration what
many of the delegates regard as the
most important question which the
conference has faced entrusted its
work to a sub committee which is
not expected to report until Friday.
There were rumors that there might
result from the conference a gigan-
tic steamship corporation backed by
all the interested countries to insure
rapid, regular and safe transportation
between North and South America
1t was pointed out during the dis
cussion of this subject, that so far
as the United States is concerned its
official representatives have no au-
thority to enter into any negotiations
along his line and that private capi-
tai in the United States is reluctant
to go into shipping enterprises with
out assurances of modification of the
navigation laws and amendments to
the seamen's act.
Another suggestion contemplated
the establishment of steamship lines
by the respective governments in
terested, the bonds of which should
be government guaranteed. Bonds of
this character, it was urged. would
prove attractive investments in the
United States.
Talk was revived among govern
ment officials of a change in the
federal reserve law which would per-
nit combination of banks to es-
tablish a large bank in South or
