Mrs. Philip N. Moore, of St. Louis,
the retiring president, ruled that all
motions must come before the conven
tion from the committee on resolutions.
She explained that the purpose of the
federation is to educate women in all
things looking to their betterment, and
that the present sense of the commit

would tend to make that work more
difficult and therefore was ill advised.

ed by the convention:

pointment of Miss Julia Lathrop to the
head of the children’s bureau.

ments of the Sunday newspaper.
Protest against Imposing any legal
disability on woman that is not im

After a plea by Mrs. Pennybacker for
more endowment funds, $675 was raised
to place Mrs. William Helmuth, of New
York, on the honor roll, and the Indi
ana federation gave $500 to place Mrs
O. H: P. Kinsey, of Valparaiso, Ind„ on
the roil.
On a further plea that histories ol
the federation could be purchased, Mrs
Pennybacker opened bids for the books
and $12,948 was soon subscribed and
600 books sold.
The cities bidding for the convention
of 1914 are Washington, D. C.; Chica
go, Indianapolis; Nome, Aleska; Ma
nila, P. I., and Jacksonville, Fla.
A telegram was received from Mrs,
Ella Flagg Young, urging the claims
of Chicago, No action will be taken on
this matter at present.
St. Joseph, New Orleans, Valley City
N. D., and New York are candidates
for the 1913 convention.
The closing hours of the convention
last night witnessed a final effort tc
obtain the federation indorsement oi
suffrage. Miss Alice Henry, of Illinois,
led the fight, but failure was the re
sult. A love feast followed the formal
adjournment.

Wreck.
La t robe. Pa., July 8—Twenty-one

a double-header freight train crashed
Into an over-loaded passenger coach
at Wilpen, on the Llgonler Valley rail
way, late yesterday afternoon.
The passenger coach, loaded with
picnickers, was being pushed by an en
gine when the train of coal cars
crashed Into it. Only one person aboard
the coach escaped Injury.
The accident occurred at the fair
grounds at Wilpen, one and a lialf
miles from Llgonler, a summer resort.
The passenger train had started from
Llgonler.
The Impact was terrific. The pas
senger coach was practically laid open
and the passengers either crushed or
thrown like shot through the air.
It was the first fatal accident. It ts
said. In the history of the Llgonler
road for 40 years.
List of ths Victims.

MATTHEW N1EPONT, of Pitta
burgh, crushed.
MARY HODDY, of Llgonler.
FRANK E. BEATTY, engineer, head

TWO UNIDENTIFIED FOREIGN
ERS, badly crushed.
Several Seriously HurL
A majority of the injured, 30 in all,
were residents along the Wilpen
branch. They were brought to a hos
pital here or sent to hospitals at Pitts
burgh when it was found they were in
a critical condition.
Among them were Dr. D. B. John
son, of Llgonler, who w'as hurt Inter
nally and will probably die.
Dr. C. A. Hamil, of Ligonler, was
crushed and may die.
Walter Serena, of McKeesport, Pa.,
clerk in a bank at that place, is In a
precarious condition.
The injuries of the others were all
severe, consisting of broken legs and
arms and contusions.
The train was well crowded, every
seat in the lone coach being occupied
with persons returning from a Fourth
of July holiday.
Coach Crushed Like Shell.
The frieght engines plowed through
the wooden coach, crushing It like pa
per. All the occupants were hurled to
the roadbed. Some fell In the path of
the onrushlng engines, while others
were imbedded partly in the cinders
and crushed stones beside the rails.
The first engine of the frieght train
stopped soon after tearing through the
passenger train, turning half way
around and fell over on Its side. En
gineer McConnoughey was scalded to
death, while his fireman, George Byers,
jumped, only to fall on the track and
meet death under the wheels. Engin
eer Smith P. Beatty, of the second en
gine, jumped and sustained a broken
leg. His fireman, John Ankeny, fell
beneath the car. His legs were sev
ered and he died enroute to a hospital.
Engineer Dunlap, of the passenger
train, remained at their posts and es
caped with slight injuries.
A pathetic feature of the wreck was
the injury of Miss Esther M. Mathews,
a nurse, and the death of two and the
injury of four children she was taking
to the wood3 near Wilpen for after
noon's outing.
Cause Is Mystery.
Farmers near the scene of the acci
dent and workmen employed at a race
track In the vicinity were at the wreck
with in a few minutes. Messengers
were started at once to Ligonler. while
the others, assisted by Engineer Dun
lap and his fireman, were busy getting
the dead and injured clear of the
wreckage. An hour after the accident
physicians, nurses and railroad officials
had reached the scene of the accident.
From that time on the work of rescue
and tending to the suffering was effec
tive. The Pennsylvania railroad, of
which the Ligonler road is a branch,
sent a special train from Pittsburgh
to Latrobe to take some of the injured
from the overtaxed hospital here to
Pittsburgh.
It will take an investigation to de
termine the cause of the wreck. There
seems to be no person in a position to
even suggest a cause.
Almost every home in Ligonler was
affected by the accident, many rela
tives or friends either being dead or in
jured. The railway is an outlet for the
mines of the Wilpen Coal company.
The passenger train wrecked was the
only one in operation. It made two
trips a day aver the line, which was
10 miles in length.

SENATOR LORIMER
TO CLOSE OEBATE
Illinois Senator Will Defend
Kimself Before Colleagues—
Vote This Week.
Washington, July 8.—General debate
on the Lorlmer senatorial election case,
opening today, marks the beginning of
the end of this, perhaps the most sen
sational contest In the history of the
Senate. With Senator Myers, of Mon
tana, ready to open the attack at the
outset, and Senator Lorlmer planning
to close for the defense with his own
extemporaneous speech, the Senate was
staged for the final action which prob
ably comes the middle of next week.
In parliamentary fiction the vote Is to
be taken on "the legislative day of
July «.*
Thte Is the close of the second Sen
ate Investigation and fight on Lorlmer
since Charles A. White, a representa
tive In the Illinois legislature sold for
publication an exposure of alleged leg
islative corruption affecting Lorlmer’s
election to the Senate. Confessions, In
dictments, charges and counter charges
notch the pathway of the Lorlmer case
since that exposure. The present Is
sue Is Lortmer's right to a seat In the
Senate, which the Investigating com
mittee In its recent report to the Sen
ate sustained five to throe. About 10
senators have Indicated that they wish
to make speeches before the vote.
Senator Dillingham, chairman of the
committee that made the second In
vestigation of the Lorlmer case, made
the first speech today, presenting the
findings which upheld Lorlmer.
Mr. Dillingham, In dealing with the
re-election of Mr. Shurtleft as speaker
of the Illinois house by a coalition with
the democrats in 1909, said that the
senatorshlp had not been Involved in
this oontest. He ascribed the recon
ciliation of differences between Lorl
mer and Governor Deneen to the fact
that the governor’s political situation
was desperate by reason of the candi
dacy of former Vice-President Steven
son. Senator Dillingham showed that
Instead of being a candidate for the
senate, when the legislature met Lorl
mer was pressing Deneen to enter the
race.
Durtng this recital Senator Lorlmet
entered the chamber.

water carnival, today reached the cul

red and gold and manned by the king’s
watermen In their liveries of centuries
ago.
Their majesties then proceeded down
the course to the royal stand, from
which they watched the final heats of
the British aquatic championships.
Beautiful weather favored the occa
sion. in marked contrast with the days
which preceded, and the scene on the
river was one of brilliance, with gaily
decorated house tops, punts, skiffs and
motorboats lining their course, all their
occupants In lightest of summer at
tire.
During the afternoon the royal party
proceeded the full length of the course
and received a most hearty welcome.

vessels In England. It was used for
many years to convey the English
kings and queens between their royal
residences at Greenwich and West Min
ister.

ANDREW FORCED OUT,
DECLARES MACVEAGH
Secretary Of Treasury Says As
sistant Told Untruths About
Department.
HAD ASKED RESIGNATION
Request Ignored With Lofty Indiffer
ence and Supreme Contempt, He
Asserts—New Light On
Rump us.
Lancaster, Mass., July 5.—Ip. a state
ment given out hero last nlgbi, Fra:iia
lin, MacVeagh, secretary c< the traas
ury, branded as false the statement of
A. n&tt Andrew, his former aMlstu&t,
with regard to the manner of conduct
ing the treasury department. He aiidi
furthermore, that the resignation of
Andrew was not voluntary on Uio part
cf the assistant, but that It repeatedly
had been asked for. He declared that
Andrew had pleaded to be retained 13
the service and that when his entreat
ies were refused, he attempted, through
political Influence, to defeat the wtsiieb
of his superior, Mr. MacVeagh.
MacVeagh'c Statement.
The statement of the secretary soyai
"I regret that It seems necessary to
refer to the letters published by Mr. A.
Platt Andrew and addressed to the
president and to me. The virulence of
the attack has probably limited Its eff
ftets, but apart from the attack upon
me, he strangely misrepresented a
number of the chief men of the treas
ury department to whom I attribute a
large measure of the success of the
department’s work, and seems to deny
that anything has been accomplished
either by them or anybody else. I am
obliged, therefore, to restore Mr. An
drew’s resignation to Its proper light.
’’Mr. Andrew say he resigned be
cause of the conditions in the treas
ury department of which he dlsap«
proves. A comparison cf this stat»
ment with the facts Is possibly th«
simplest way to test the animus and
veracity of his letters. He did not
resign voluntarily, but was asked to
—and aeked repeatedly—and he
used every effort and Influence possible
to get the request for Ills resignation
withdrawn and pleaded to be allowed
to continue In hts place. And it was
when he failed to have the request for
his resignation withdrawn, and be
cause of this, that he made his attaok
and chose to give the Impression that
his resignation was a matter of hia
own choice and determined upon for
public reasons.
Asked for Resignation.
’"The details as to his resignation ara
as follows:
"On June 24, when Mr. Andrew re
turned from Chicago, I formally asked
In a note for his resignation. Ho called
on me at once to urge me to change
my mind and allow him to stay. At hl<
wish I explained at length my efforts
and listened to all his arguments and
wishes. I felt, however, obliged to tell
him the request for his resignation
could not be withdrawn. I supposed
Mr. Andrew would send his resigna
tion promptly and as a matter of
course, as I had never known of a
case where such a request had not
been promptly complied with. I wait
ed, however, without reply until June
28. I then wrote again repeating the
request. On the 29th Mr. Andrew sent
me a brief note treating the matter
with vagueness. I replied Immediately,
saying I could not accept vagueness,
but wished to have that day either his
resignation or his refusal to resign. To
this he did not reply at all. And,
therefore, on July 2, I wrote a fourth
time renewing the request and com
municating a copy of a letter addressed
to me by the president authorizing and
directing me to ask for the resignation.
I asked for a prompt reply, stating
that I was going out of town. I left
Washington on the midnight train
without hearing from Mr. Andrew and
saw in the next afternoon papers long
extracts from two letters, one to the
president and one to me, which at last
conveyed his unwilling resignation.
Andrew Played Politics.
"Meanwhile—as I only learned after
a week—Mr. Andrew had diligently
used the Interval while I was waiting
to secure all the influence he could to
aid him in keeping Ills place. Besides
arguing the case himself with me and
with certain senators and besides hav
ing his case argued both at the Whit*
House and before me, he argued hlr
case himself at the White House.
"Mr. Andrew did not at any time
mention to me any objection to his
treatment In the treasury department
except that he thought I did not give
him as much of my time as I ought,
and that I had sometimes allowed other
callers to be received when he was was
in my room. On the other hand, soma
of those connected with my office—and
who were Impartial—thought Mr. An
drew had had at certain periods too
much of my time. Certainly his cur
ious calculations of the amount of time
given him will strike everyone with
wonderment.
“No other complaint or criticism did
Mr. Andrew ever offer. And It Is
hardly necessary to point out that a
man whose grip on his place I could
hardly shake loose could scarcely havo
found his place undesirable or ills as
sociates unendurable.
"There Is nothing out of the usual
in Mr. Andrew’s case. The work of
the treasury department is and still
Is strenuous owing to the program
adopted at the beginning of the ad
ministration, and it is necessary to
have all three of the assistant secre
taries not only able but efficient. It
was a groat disappointment to me that
Mr. Andrew was not efficient enough
to meet the requirements, and that It
was necessary to get someone else.
That Is all there Is to it when tho
change was decided upon. Subsequent
ly, in direct disobeyance of my instruc
tions, written and then repeat! d in two
Interviews sought by him. ami without
my knowledge until hi- had left Wash
ington, he went to the Chicago con
vention, when the other two assistants
had already gone by previous arrange
ment.”

TRANSIT MILLING
RIGHT IS ABUSED
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Finds Frauds Commit
ted Under Privilege.
Washington. July 8.—Gross fouda and
violations of the law in the exercise
of tho '‘milling In transit privileges*’ ac
corded to shippers, principally in grain,
grain products and lumbar, have been
revealed by tho Interstate Commerce
commission’s extensive Investigation
on that subject just completed. Rail
roads will be required to establish dras
tic regulations to safeguard the opera
tion of tho privileges In the future.
The commission holds that It pos
sesses adequate power under the law
to regulate transit privileges and may
prescribe regulations that will free the
operation of transit privileges from any
Illegal practices.
Some carriers have attempted to
conform to transit regulations previ
ously made by the commission, while
others have practically Ignored them.
“ThuB," says the commission, “a
condition of great Inequality has
grown up In the handling of grain and
Its products under tariffs accorded
transit privileges."
The rules laid down by the commis
sion for safeguarding transit privileges
on grain and grain products cover the
situation exhaustively and are required
to be established by the corners by
August 15. and to be maintained In
operation for at least two years.

Mexico, July 8.—Gen. Pascual
Orozco today ordered the bulk of
the rebel army westward from

Japan and continue the revolution.
El Paso, STex., ujly 8.—Only 3,500
men are estimated as comprising the

General Pasqual Orozco today reached
the new rebel capital — Juarez—to

ELKS WOULD RECOVER
THEIR BELOVE GOAT
But Enemies Of Initiatory Aide
Have “Got the Goat” Of
That “Buttinsky.”
Portland, Ore., July 8.—Efforts of the
Elks to recover their banished "goat”
have failed. Representatives of dele
gates from smaller lodges to the grand
lodge session of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, which will
assemble here Monday, filled the air
with laments last night and attempted
to start a movement to have the "goat”
re-established us a functionary in the
Initiation ceremonies. When the effort
failed it was finally admitted that the
"goat” had passed.
The fight has begun among cities for
the new national home, the construc
tion of which will be discussed at the
grand lodge session. Western cities
will attempt to have the site of the
present home transferred from Bedford,
Va„ to some western state. Both the
Colorado Springs, Colo., and Salt Lake
City, Utah, delegations will wage vig
orous campaigns for the new home.
