and is in a badly shocked
condition. His recovery is
expected, although he will
be the last to leave the hos
pital. Mr.. Meboy was on
his way home from a win
ter's stay in southern Cali
fornia and was travelling
alone.
w. B. Williams, of Mil
ford, Utah, where he owns
an eating house, is the least
injured of the six at the
hospital, although his con-
tusions and bruises are sew
eral. He is on his way to
his home from Los Ange-
les, and had expeced to dis
embark here for a day to
investigate the business op-
portunities. He will prob
ably be able to leave the
hospital in a few days.
Many others of about
twenty who were riding in
the day coach were more
or less injured and all were
shaken up. One man who
did not go to the hospital
had gone through the ex-
perience of having both his
legs pushed through the car
window as the coach tum-
bled over and then depriv-
ed of the cuticle as the car
was pulled along on its
side. Had the ground been
hard rather than sandy, it
is certain that the man
would have lost both limbs.
Several elements combine
to create good fortune for
both passengers and Wes-
tern Pacific, if indeed good
fortune can be applied to
such happenings. When
the coaches left the track
they ploughed along in the
sandy ground and the soft
soil undoubtedly did much
to save both passengers and
rolling stock from greater
injury.
Running on schedule and
making about 25 miles an
hour speed a broken or
spreading rails allowed the
day coach, diner and three
sleeping cars to leave the
track. The day coach and
diner went over the en-
bankment on the north side
the drop being several feet.
The four sleeping cars
were filled to the limit, six
ty passengers being carried
in berths. Among these no
serious hurt was sustained,

And too, situations of this
kind develops outstanding
types, and included al
ways must be the swagger,
pompous fellow. In this in
stance he was a little fell
low, broad of girth and
short of stature. On his
way home to New York City
where he says he employs
seventy people he roundly
demonstrated against being
precipitated, unhurt, into
this desert environment.
''To think" he said "the w.
P. has no block signal sys-
tenn or other modern safe
ty devices. | am credibly
informed that the govern
ment allowed it seven mil
lion dollars for alleged
damage to its roadbed as a
result of war time activities
yet no one has heard of the
road management expend-
ing any of this money in eff
fecting the repairs claimed
necessary several years
ago. Hereafter / shall ad-
wise all my friends to ride
on other western roads. I
consider the roadbed dan
gerous.
One could not help con-
trasting this person with
the cheerful old women out
at the hospital who greet
you cheerily and speak in
words of praise of treatment
and view life, pain swept
as they are, in an optimistic
manner.
Another man advanced
in years and showing the
philosopher in his de-
meanor, declared that i'll
luck had pursued him since
the day he left, New York
to come to the west by boat
through the Panama canal.
He was tied up in Vera
Cruz, Mex, for many days
while American and Mexi-
can authorities settled a
libel suit instituted against
the ship he was travelling
on as a result of damage
inflicted earlier to a draw
bridge by a sister ship of
the craft tied up.
All passengers continuing
on the Western Pacific, left
this city at AS when train
No. 3 was turned back out
of here as train No. 2. The
wrecker arrived here at
11:45 in charge of the Elko
crew. Supt. M. O'Connor

clearing for the traffic. 1t

although many were badly
Jared as they slept.
The train was being pull
ed by a locomotive driven
by Engineman Bowler and
was in charge of Conduc-
tor Valentine.
Both train and station
employees received many
words of praise for the con-
scientious and deferential
manner shown the passen-
gers on the wrecked train.
Heroic efforts were put for
ward and emergencies were
met promptly. DIR. G.. F.
Pope and his nurse, Miss
Joe Erringer, rendered first
aid within a short time fol-
lowing the accident and
now have their patients
fully cared for to the min
ute.
The passenger train
wreck is the first to occur
on the w. P.'s Winnemucca
division. That it was
not marked by fatalities is
considered little short of
miraculous, for of the seven
car train only the baggage
and observation cars escap-
ed. The engine, tender and
baggage car had passed be-
fore the cause of the wreck
developed, while the obser-
vation car had not reached
the dismantled track when
the train was brought to a
stop.
In every situation where
wholesale tragedy exists hui
NOR may be found also. The
dining car seemed to have
left the track as precipitate-
ly as the day coach where
casualties occurred, yet
none of the nine occupants
demanded hospital atten-
ton. The white dining car
conductor and eight colored
walters formed the crowd
that rode in the diner and
of the nine all were badly
shaken but none were SER
iously injured. Two colored
men have badly bruised
faces but required no at
tention. One colored man
claimed that a spirited
game of craps, indulged at
the early hour, saved him
from serious injury and
possible death. '1 was 60

ers," he said, "and even a

CENSUS SHOWS
BUSINESS HERE
is IMPROVING
Reports From 1900 Factories
Coming in Slowly in
Some Cases.

Business conditions are improving
slowly in Indianapolis, according to r
7. Stuart. special agent Of the United
States census bureau. who is in In
dianapolis making a census OF man
ufacturing plants in this city
The census usually is made by the
Government every five years The last
one was made two years ago, but be
cause Of existing business conditions the
bureau decided on another this year.
According TO Mr.. Stuart, there are
about 1850 manufacturing plants in In
dianapolis. which is about the same mum
ber as two years ago. He estimates
that about 100 concerns have gone out
of business, but have been replaced by
others.
He said that about 100 concerns have
not made reports. In many instances
delay is due to the fear that the informa
tion will be used for taxation purposes
or otherwise disclosed Mr.. Stuart says
no details Of this character are given out.
Assisting him in the work are three
other agents. Charles f. Wesby, Harry +.
Fisher and Elmo f. Barnes. After the
work In Indianapolis is completed census
of the manufacturing plants of Boone,
Hamilton, Madison, Hancock, Shelby,
johnson, Morgan and Hendricks eoun-
ties will be taken.

TARIFF BILL

PRIVILEGES
Senator Walsh Takes
Critical View of
Measure.
LIVING COSTS UP

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, April A.-Sweeping
denunciation of the Senate Finance Com
mittee tariff bill as an economic mon
strosity without precedent or prototype" )"
was made in a statement made public by
Senator David l. Walsh, Democrat Of
Massachusetts,, minority member Of the
committee. Democratic members of the
committee are expected TO file a composite
minority report early in the week
Senator Walsh said the bill embodied
the most unsatisfactory and injurious
tariff program ever proposed" whether
from the viewpoint OF the manufacturer,
the domestic merchant, the exporter. or
the consuming public. Its only justifica- =
ton. he said, was because the Republicans
promised the country some kind of a
tariff measure"
Passage OF the bill, Senator Walsh pre-
dtcted. would bring economic isolation,
inviting retaliation from other nations.
He asserted protection on agricultural
products was a political sop for farmer
votes and would increase the breadlines
In the large cities, as half Of the country g
export and import trade was in farm
products. Every essential, including
wearing apparel, he said. would be in
creased in price by the rates of the meas
ure, and at time when wages were be-
ing rapidly reduced and defation of
prices urged. Senator Walsh continued

CHICAGO. April a4.-For a pretty

Members OF the Northwestern Uni

Result: The appointment of new

publicity given university activities
and to control the activities of news
paper reporters, including student re-
porters."
This drastic action became neces-
sary, a member of the faculty ex-
planned, because the newspapers were
