VETERAN FIREMAN.
 BOB LEWIS, KILLED
 UNDER RAIL ENGINE
ROUNDING CURVE SATURDAY. NIGHT RAN INTO SNOW
 SLIDE

Bob Lewis. fireman on the Alas ka Railroad passenger train which left Seward Saturday afternoon for the Interior, was killed between F and 1 o'clock Sunday morning when the locomotive plunged into a snowslide around curve in the vicinity, coming to a rest and part ly turned over in the SuSitna river.
 Engineer Fred Brayford, it was reported, was uninjured but was considerably dazed
 The coaches did not leave the track and no passengers were in jured.
 Wrecking crews and equipment were dispatched at once from both Anchorage and Curry.
 This was the same train which arrived in Seward three hours be- hind time Friday from the Inter for on account of being held up by a slide on the southern division, brought down by the earthquakes on that day. The passenger train left Seward at p. m. Saturday which accounts for the night run ming.
 The above details were phoned to The Gateway from Anchorage a few hours after the accident.
 The following message describ- ing the wreck and details was sent to The Gateway by General Man ager Otto F. Ohlson:
 At 1:15 a. m., train No. 2, En- gineer Fred Brayford and Fireman Robert Lewis, travelling about 25 miles an hour, struck snow slide about eight feet deep and 45 feet long on a six per cent curve about two miles south of Talkeetna causing the engine to turn over and landing on the bank of the Su- sitna river with the front end of the engine in the water.
 Fireman Lewis was caught under the engine and was suffocated but still alive when taken out. pr. Eel lows, a passenger on the train, was unable to save his life.
 Engineer Brayford was consid- erably bruised but not seriously in- jured.
 No passengers or any trainmen were injured. The track is not dam aged.
 An engine was sent from Curry, 24 miles to the point of derailment to take the train on to Curry.
 A wrecking train left Anchorage as soon as notice of the accident was received to pick up the engine.
 The accident near Talkeetna marks the third fatality to railroad men since 1920. The first was when a slide swept down the mountain on Turnagain Arm, catching number of workmen engaged in removing a previous slide. Among those killed was the ia ther of Sydney Black, now well-known young mine operator of Willow Creek. The second fatality occurred on a curve near Hurricane gulch when a bent gave away beneath an engine and a snow Hanger, toppling the engine and killing Engineer Elliott.
 In the sixteen years since the railroad began construction and has been practically in operation as fast as steel was laid, no passenger fatalities have occurred.

MOIST PLANK
PUT ON shelf
HooSier Republicans viii
Get Same Proposal as
National Convention.
SENATOR HAS 'HIDEoUT'
Colonel Ed Thayer'S Office
in Washington Is
HooSier Haven.
BY WALKER SOONE
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, June AT the
Indiana Republican headquarters in
washington the office Of Colonel
Ed Thayer, secretary Of the senate,
il is said that Senator James E.
Watson's model moist plank.
drafted for adoption by the Indiana
G. o. P. state convention, has been
shelved tentatively.
A few days ago it was reported
here that the plank, which bids to
the drys by demanding strict en-
forcement of prohibition and 70 the
vets by advocating a referendum,
was in the hands of party wheel
horses in the state, and that agree
ment had been reached to insert 1t
in the state platform.
However, "the boys" who talked
Indiana Republican politics in the
colonel'S comfortable Office today
said that Watson's proposed plank
had been abandoned. and that there
would be substituted in its place a
plank conforming to the prohibition
declaration of the national conven-
ton at Chicago.
Plank to Be Drafted Soon
Although the Chicago convention
will be held a week after the In
diana state convention. Hoosier
Republicans have been assured that
the national prohibition plank will
be in final form in plenty Of time
for advance ratification by the state
convention.
JarneS r. Garfield Jr. of Cleve-
land, son of the former President.
has been designated by national Re-
publican leaders to draft satisfac-
tory prohibition plank. Garfield, a
dry who is friendly to the idea of a
referendum. has been in Washing
ton recently, comforting with party
chieftains. including Watson, and
has promised to have the final draft
of the plank ready soon.
Indiana Republicans, 1t is ex-
planned, want Ito keep in line with
the national party on the prohibit
ton issue.
The words used in Colonel"
Thayer's office we're:
I'VE want a prohibition plank
that will model after and precede
the Chicago plank"
Hideout for Watson
Colonel Thayer's office Is
popular gathering place for Indi-
ana Republicans in congress and
those who visit Washington. 1t is
a spacious room, located in a Sc
cluded corner across the corridor
from the senate chamber. Sena-
tor Jim Watson uses it daily as a
"hideout" and caucus room. The
colonel is, Of course. a Watson APP
pointee.
Charles Watson, brother and po-
litical advisor of Senator Jim, Is in
the Office almost daily. So is Rep
resentative Fred Purnell, a Watson
lieutenant, mentioned recently as
dark horse" candidate for Gov
ernor and also as the man who
might nominate the senator at the
state convention. Incidentally, Pur-
nell emphatically has denied both
rumors, and has asserted that he
does not want to be Governor, and,
like Watson, plans to stick to his
last" in congress and not even at
tend the convention.
Callers at Colonel Thayer's Office
in the last week have included such
prominent Hoosier Republicans as
John L. Norman Of Knox. selected
as temporary chairman Of the state
convention; George Ball, commit
teeman from Indiana, and Glenn
Richards of Terre Haute.

MERE YOUTH OF 81
Smoke Eater Fights Retirement

CAPTAIN PHILIP KILE, fire.
~ fighting veteran, will wage
another kind of battle before the
board of safety Tuesday in an
effort to prevent being retired on
pension.
He wants to serve three more
years. He asserts that he will be
a mere 81 on June Is instead Of
a decrepit 10, as fire department
records show.
Chief Harry E. Voshell has
recommended retirement of Kile
from service with aerial ladder
company No. Is.
Kile, according to the depart
ment's records. is the oldest man
in point of service among the
city's smoke eaters"
At his home, 531 East Thirty
sixth street, Kile explained Tues
day night how the discrepancy
in his birth date arose. The
records show June IS, 1862. but
Kile asserts 1865 was his birth.
"THOSE we're the days of
IL horses, buggies and mid
wives" he said, and you had to
take your parents word about
your age.
AT Is I was working every day
when old Fire Chief Webster got
in touch with me and offered me
a job as a substitute fireman. In
order to get the job I had to lie
about my age. Instead Of giving
my birth date as June Is, 1865, 1
moved it back three years to
1852"
From time to time the fire de-
partment sends questionnaires to
each fireman in order to recheck
the records. Kile's answers al
ways read: philip Kile, June Is,
1862, married, etc. :" until March,
1880, when 1865 was given as the
year of birth.
In April, 1880, the pension reg
ulation was inserted in the book
Of regulations.
Il would like to work those
three years. I am capable and
