81" TRAIN
FALLS FROM
STRUCTURE
Seven Known Dead When Ele-
waited Car Fall From
Height
VI A N Y IN J u II E ID

New York, June 25-A two-car
train bound for New York fell from
the Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
company's elevated structure at Fifth
and Flatbush avenues today. A num-
ber of persons were reported killed.
B. M. T. officials were unable to
confirm first reports that 10 persons
had been killed and score injured.
Fire apparatus was rushed to the
scene.
Later reports said at least seven
were killed.
Amid screams passengers climbed
through broken windows, their faces
streaming blood. Some were carried
out. Others were able to crawl.
Two hospitals announced they had
one dead and i3 injured.
At 3 o'clock the number of dead
was estimated at six, with 40 injured.
Four bodies had been recovered at
this time.
Fire broke out in the cars after
they fell, but firemen quickly ex-
tinguished the blaze.
An unofficial explanation of the ac-
cident was that an ankle on one of
the cars had broken and that this had
slipped up the outside rail, causing
the train to plunge to the street.

BIG QUESTION
BEF0RECIT
COMMISSION
Whether Water Plant Is to be
All City-owncd to be Decid-
cd by Commission
ALSO ACT ON PUMPS
City Commission Expected to
Take Important Steps at
Meeting Tonight

Two important questions in con-
ncction with the city ownership of
the water plant will come before
the city commission tonight-rccciv-
inE of new bids on pumps and CON
sidcrinE bids on oi engines for fur
nishing power to pump the water
The financing prcliminarcs now
are complete, and it is expected
that the bond companies will ad
vance the necessary money for pur-
chase and completion Of extensions
upon bond attorneys approval of
the cty's procedure in the author
ization and sale Of the securities.
Other contracts for extensions have
been let.
The most important problem now
before the city commission and the
citizens committee is the matter of
oil engines. The question present.
ed is whether or not the city shall
have a complete city-owned water
plant, or whether it shall continue
to be dependent upon another utili-
ty for power which is costly and
which might be the subject of con-
stant dispute before the railroad
commission.
If it is decided that the city wa
ter plant shall be completely opeI-
atcd municipal plant, the question
h,n hn 81
of the method of furnishing power
for pumping water. A steam plant
was suggested, but virtually dis
cardcd because of the proposition
advanced for pumping water with
oil driven engines.
The huge saving made over the
present price paid by the Bismarck
Water Supply Company to the
Hughes Electric Company for power
for pumping water, as laid before
thc commission by at least two bid
ding companies, narrowed the ques-
ton to virtually whether the city
shall use oil engines or buy it's pow
er.
Several representatives of oil en-
CINE and pump companies were here
today to appear before the commits
sion. Halmer N. Anderson of St.
Paul, representing the Worthington
Pump and Machinery Corporation,
and II. b. Wilson of Chicago, repre-
senting the sales department of the
Worthing Diesel engine, were among
those here. They were expected to
present figures showing big saw
ing could be made with the use of
oil engines, it being known that they
