the obstacle which threatened the leg

At the last minute, the Lever food

Search for More Bodies.
At Porter, large, reverent crowd

tional bodies will be found under the
wreckage.
Persons watching the clearing up of
the wreck reacted strangely to it. The
crowd stood back and watched in awe,
not\ caring for any rnemento that
would recall to them the sorrow. A
luxurious fur coat has been hanging
on a post near the scene of the wreck
for two days untouched. althe its
value is perhaps several hundred dol
lars. The coat was probably worn by
one of the women when she met her
death.
All of the bodies but five have been
identified. 1t is likely that the iden-
tity of three of these will never be
known. They are crushed beyond
recognition and repose in the base
ment of the improvised morgue.
Probe Is Started.
Preliminary Investigation of the
New York Central, according to an
announcement today, places the blame
for the disaster on Engineer Long and
Fireman Block of the Michigan Cen
trail. The New York Central claimed
in its statement that the blocks were
set against the Michigan Central by
Joseph Cook, towerman, an empfoye
of the New York Central.
Michigan Central officials, althe
they are conducting a secret probe of
the disaster, have refused to make any

In Topeka, April temperafuress con
nature recorded here Monday was 6S
degrees, at $500 o'clock in the after
noon, and the lowest temperature in
the past twenty-four hours was AZ de-
grees, at Z o'clock this morning. These
are typical April marks.
The mildneSs extends over the entire
United States and Canada. In south
western Canada there were few be-
low freezing temperatures, but there
was not a zero mark on the map this
morning.
last night was SO degrees, reported
from Goedland. and the lowest in the
United States, 80 degrees, barely below
freezing, was from Duluth, Mimi,
where 20 or 80 degrees below zero on
March / is not uncommon.
The clouds of this morning are apt
to continue until Wednesday night, at
least. 1t is cloudy this morning over
all Kansas, west over Colorado and
Utah, and north to Canada, but there
has been no rain or snow in the state
or adJOlnlnS states curing the last
twenty-four hours. The rain which
fell in the Panhadle of Texas Monday,
has passed to the south of Kansas.
An additional argument for the ber
lief that Kansas has skipped a winter,
is found in the records of the weather
bureau which shows that on only one
occasion in Topeka, has the thermon-
eter gone as low as zero in March.
That was on March 4, 1891.
The highest temperature ever re-
corded in Topeka ON this date was II
degrees in 1901, and the lowest was 1
degree above zero in 1890.
At $3.50 O'Clock this morning the
temperature was 81 degrees, and will
probably go to IS degrees this after
noon. Tonight it will not go below
35 degrees, and Wednesday will be
between so and so degrees.
At o'clock this afternoon the wind
was blowing at twenty miles an hour
from thassouthwest.
