WRECK IS CAUSED
BY A SPLIT RAIL
Probe Shows Faulty Track to Blame
for Crash in Which Three Died
and 40 We're Hurt.

Chicago, Jan. 29-The condition of
those injured in the train wreck on
the Illinois Central railroad at Gran
ger yesterday, in which three were
killed and 40 injured, was reported as
favorable today.
Railroad officials said this morning
that investigation, as far as It had pro-
ceeded, indicated the accident was due
to split rail. This caused the tender
of the second OF two engines which
were drawing the train, combination
of Omaha Sioux City f1iers, Chicago
bound, to jump partly across the rails.
OF the II cars following, the final one
remained on the tracks, the other IL
rolling down 25-foot embankment.
On board the train were a number
of soldiers from Camp Grant on the
way to Chicago. They did excellent
service in releasing those pinned un-
der the wreckage, aided by the train
crew and uninjured passengers.

Plot in
Michigan Fire;
NOLOss of Life

Marquette, Mich. Jan. CAN eX-
plosion, followed by a fire early today
which destroyed the alcohol refining
plant. the primary building and SER
les of condensers of the Pioneer Iron
Furnace company, owned by the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron company of
Cleveland. Ohio, caused damage esti-
mated at $500 900.
First reports Of the explosion said
a number of lives had been lost, but
at daylight it was believed there was
no loss of life and that only two men
had been injured although the casualty
list cannot be definitely determined
until the company payrolls have been
checked.
For a time the fire threatened to
destroy the entire plant, a portion of
which is employed in manufacturing
alcohol and the ground chemicals Of
explosives for the United States and
allied governments, but after a two
hours fight the flames were brought
under control by the Marquette and
plant fire departments.
The plant which covers several acres
of ground is situated one and half
miles from this city.
The police are working on the theory
that the fire was incendiary but COM
pany officials do not believe so.
The explosion which started the fire
at 1870 o'clock disrupted the auto
matte sprinkler system and made
leaks insthe water mains leading to
the plant, rendering the task of the
firemen more difficult
That there was not serious loss Of
Fife probably was due to the fact that
most of the employees were in the
boiler room eating lunch. The build
ing crumbled like house Of cards
and windows a mile and half away
were broken. One after another con-
densers containing elements of high
explosives blew up and great flames
! in succession licked up the refinery,
the primary chemical, the barrel and
the storage houses and tanks.

Unrest among the working people
Of Germany has not yet quoted down
nor has the political conflict between
the panGermans and the -militar-

Concern over the internal security of

Kaiser Appeals to People.
To President kaempf of the reich
stag the emperor expressed his "ar-
dent daily wish" that the German peo-
pie may preserve their union until
the final victory of our arms"
The emperor declared that he en-
tiers upon a serious and decisive
year." The reichstag, however. is re-
ported to have refused to vote conf
dence in the government, mainly
through Socialist opposition, and
Chancellor Won Hertling may appear
before it again in a few days to dis
cuss the question Of Belgium.

bourgeoise.

Petrograd government. In reply to a
protest made by Finland the Russian
government said it must support the
proletariat of Finland in. the strug-
