our times is for the young women to pre-
fer work in office or factory rather than
doing house drudgery. Ii the woman

tive for the government having had TO take over
the entire railway system of the United States.
Among other points brought out was that the ad-

proved that it could not be done without unified con-
rc to which all the separate arrangements should be
subordinate War needs must be handled first and that
was the only way to meet the issue.
The address suggested various details, such as
guarantees for adequate compensation to and cred
itors of the various railway corporations and ap-

The horrible experience last

A LATER ACCOUNT
Of the Terrible Experiences Of Those on
the III Fated Train Attacked
by Yaquis Wednesday

From passengers from the
south arriving by last nights
train, and from Guaymas news
papers there has been gathered
the following detailed account
of the terrible tragedy in an at
tack upon a train carrying pas
lsengers, between Mapoli and
Lencho stations, on the South
ern Pacific of Mexico Wednes-
day morning.
The train consisted of some
sixteen cars, of which five were
passenger cars, baggage car,
an express car, seven freight
cars, and two passenger cars
carrying soldiers. AS there had
been no train out from Guaymas
| for a couple of days the cars
carrying passengers were well
filled.
In the makeup of the train
the two cars carrying the guard
were coupled next to the en-
gine, with the seven freight
cars next, the baggage and ex-
press cars following the freight
cars, and the five passenger
coaches bringing up the rear.
Leaving Guaymas at z o'clock
the train had reached kilometro
96, between Mapoli and Lencho,
lat 9:10 o'clock in the morning
At that point the Yaquis were
awaiting the train. They had
drawn the spikes from some of
the rails, but left the latter in
Iplace. The engine with the two
cars of soldiers passed over the
Ibreak in safety, but the loose
rails turned under the freight
cars, which were derailed, bring
ling the train to a stop.

bury of the Sonora division,
with a large number of en-
lployes, nurses, etc., with all the
necessary appliances for treat
ment of wounded and injured.
Upon arrival the medical and
surgical staff set about allevia-
tion of the sufferings of the
wounded, Iand other employees
went to work arranging the
dead who were to be taken to
Guaymas and Empalme, and
burying those who were to be
inferred at the scene. That
work took all the afternoon, and
it was $50 in the evening when
the relief train returned to EN-
paine.
With everything cleared the
train that had been attacked
went along, taking to- their
destinations the survivors who
desired going in that direction.
Some of the dead and wounded
were taken in that direction al
so.
While the list of killed and
wounded is complete, or nearly
so, there is a great deal of un~
certainty as to who were the
women and girls carried away
by the savages. AS stated here
tofore, they are said to number
about thirty.
Some apprehension was felt
by friends of Mrs. Rene, wife of
Doctor Rene of Mazatlan, who
was aboard the train; but it is
reported that the Yaquis per-
mitted her to remain on the
train, although they stripped
her of all her possessions taking
even the clothing she wore; and
she went along southwark with
the train.
Mr.. Ralph Snovil, the S. P.
auditor, who was fatally wound
ed. being brought to Empalme

Alonzo Suarez, the sixteen
year old son of Mr.. Suarez, re-
siding on West Street, near
Crawford, in Nogales, Arizona,
was stabbed to death with
Ibayonets. His remains were
buried at Empalme.
Carlos Jarilla, who clerked
for A. Carpena, in Nogales, suf-
fered the same fate as did
Suarez, and he also was buried
at Empalme.
The dead known to have been
taken south were Don Ignacio

The question Of taking the soldier

that any state which devised a prac-

its soldiers ballots would be per-
mitted tn-do SO.
