BAD WRECK
ON The N. P.

ously injured today at South
Cheney, IL miles west of Spo-
\ kane, when Northern Pacific
train No. 2, known as the North
Coast Limited, ran into the rear
of Northern acific-Burlington
train No. AZ, telescoping an empty
day coach that was being dead
headed" east into the rear Pull
man of the Burlington train which
was standing in front of the sta
ton. The accident happened in
a dense fog.
The dead:
Professor Elton Fulmer, state
chemist. Pullman, Wash.

spector, Spokane.
Lee M. Conry, Northern Pacific

kane.

man, Portland, Ore.

Seriously injured: r. ]. Spear,
Pomeroy, Wash; DR.. John Mat

Payant, Los Angeles.
All of the dead and injured
either were asleep or dressing
when the crash came. A score
of persons had berths in the car
but several had just gone into the
dining car ahead and were not
injured. The others escaped with
minor bruises save Mrs. j. N.
Atkins, of Spokane. who is suf-
fering from the shock.
A special train from Spokane
carried surgeons and nurses and
returned before noon with the
victims, the three seriously in
jured being placed in a hospital.
Both trains, eastbound as Sec
tons of S. P. & S. No. A, were
being detoured over the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle railway be-
tween Pasco and Marshall be-
cause of flood conditions on the
Northern Pacific. The engineer
of the Burlington train stepped
at South Cheney for orders. C.

Immediately started to flag No. 2
which, according to the last re-
port the Burlington train crew
had, was one hour and twenty
minutes behind the Burlington at
Pasco. When Lude had run a
distance of between 900 and 1000
feet-passengers estimate the
distance at five or six car lengths
he saw the headlight of No. 2
beginning to glow through the
fog. He lighted fusee, but the
engineer of the North Coast linn
tied, applying the emergency
brakes, could not quite stop his
train in time to prevent the
smashup. Whether the Burling-
ton train was behind schedule or
the rear train had made up suffi-
cient time to encroach on the
running time of the Burlington.
has not been ascertained.
On the body of Prof. Fulmer
was found an accident insurance
card providing for $25, 900 insur-
ance in case of death on the trip.
The policy was obtained just be-
fore he boarded the train at Pull
man, Wash.
Railroad officials tonight were
unable to assign the cause of the
collision. An investigation has
been begun by ]. L. Deforce, d.

larly about popular success. They had
rented little theatre, called the Bandbox,
and gave a repertoire of one-act plays
by Maeterlnck, Wedekind, Oscar Wilde,
Schnitzler, and original productions by
members Of the group themselves.
Miss Lopokova joined the company. She
forgot all about the fame of the Imperial
Royal Ballet Of Moscow. She studied seri-
ously, humbly. What If she, famed
ing with amateurs! The opportunity to
study was all she desired. She played
with the high-brow Bohemians without
any salary whatever.
Critics attended the productions at the

Miss Lopokova did not express her senti-

Lydia, you've got to meet the chap who

the good side OF a fellow who's so en-
thusiastic as that. The Washington Square
Players can stand boosts"
So the meeting was arranged.
Haywood Broun. the author of this per-
fervid criticism. was not given unduly to
gratuitous praise. He had studied the
drama in Professor Bakers class at Har-
ward. He had ambitions regarding play
writing himself. He took himself and his
work with the greatest seriousness. He
was just twenty-eight. However, after
sitting through Miss Lopokovas perform
ance. studying 1t with critical gravity and
analytical discernment, he had gone away
and INDUCED In a poetic, exuberant rhap-
sody.
1t was after a performance one night
rant next door to the Bandbox where they
refreshed themselves with talk about art
and more material things that the actress
and the critic met Miss Lopokova, four
feet seven, rose and took the hand of the
young, bashful, serious critic, six feet three.
She looked at him coyly and gratefully.

about me, but l do not think 1t was quite

Miss Lopokova lived I'D to the principles
of a serious profession in not being what
the general public often consider actors
and actresses-egregiously self-conceited,

Dutifully Mr.. Broun continued to attend

dict on new plays. When she was not en-
gagged at the Bandbox he took Lydia Lopo

the merits of productions. When she acted.

who prepare the stories in succnct and

Except in fiction the hazards, exploits

SENATOR BRYAN IS.
RECOGNIZED AS A
LEADER IN SENATE
POSSESSES A RARE GRASP OF
RULES. PROCEDURE AND IS
RECOGNIZED WITH MANY ON
THEIR FEET.

That Senator Bryan not only pos
sesses great moral courage but a
rare grasp of the rules of procedure
of the United States Senate, is shown
by another interesting communica-
ton from S. o. Fits, published in
this mornings Herald.
It is no small matter for young
Senator to so familiarize himself
with the voluminous rules of the
Senate that he may be ready for an
emergency at any time, but Senator
Bryan is a profound student and Is
master of the legal forms that pre-
vail in the greatest forum in the
world.
The incident related In the COM
munication from Mr., Fits Is inter-
esting and refers to another custom
in the Senate, that Of setting time
for any particular action by unanim-
Gus consent, which until something
over year ago, was as the vice
president said, merely a gentleman's
agreement, to be repealed by general
consent whenever the occasion
seemed to require. This gentle
mans agreement often gave oppor-
tunity for binding the whole senate
to a certain course Of procedure by
very few senator's, when others
were not present.
This became an abuse and was
remedied by a rule adopted by the
senate, that when unanimous con-
sent was asked roll must be called
and quorum OF senator's present
and all consenting.
1t seems to have slipped the mind
of all the senators except Senator
Bryan, that such a rufe had been
adopted. When the war tax meas
ure was up, motion to table was
made after by unanimous consent a
time had been fixed for finally dis
posing of the bill. If this had pre-
vailed the war tax would not have
been imposed and the government
would have been seriously crippled
for funds the succeeding year.
Senator Bryan instantly raised the
point that the senate had agreed to
! dispose of the bill, that tabling was

that the motion to table was out of
order. The chair sustained him, the
bill reached vote and was passed,
as it should have been.
The incident shows the senator's
grasp on the essential details neces-
sary for a successful discharge Of the
nations business and indicates his
readiness to act in an emergency.
It is not possible to think Of any Of
the senator's present opponents in

ator did In the crisis mentioned, nor
is it probable that any one Of them

It should be rsmembered that
