Grneral Superintendent of the Mis
souri Pacific Spends Hours In
vestigating Wreck.
(World-Herald.)
"When two of our oldest employes,
in point of service, deliberately dis
obey all rules of railroading; ignore
their train orders and simply invite
disaster, I cannot see how th-J La
Platte wreck would be laid tJ any
thing1 but that what President Hush
( tu-e termed 'the fallibility of man. "
This statement was made yesterday
by General Superintendent A. De
liernardi of the Missouri Pacific after
a complete invesigation Saturday as
to the cause of the disaster Friday
morning in which three employes lost
their lives and several other per
sons, including passengers, were in
jured. Inspector Stricklan of the in-rcrs-tate
commerce commission serv
ice was with Mr. DeEernard during
the investigation.
"About five years ago," continued
Superintendent DeBernardi in his
open statement, "our northbound pas
senger train from Kansas City col
lided head-on with a freight train
near Fort Crook. It was even a more
terrible affair than this one, many
more lives being lost, and it happened
.shortly after Mr. Bush had become
president of the company. After an
investigation he found that the train
employes had violated rules and
ignored train orders, just as others
'id last Friday, and it was then that
he sent out, to nearly every news
paper in the country, prepaid, his

famous message laying the blame
simply on the 'fallibility of man.'
"Immediately after the Fort Crook
wreck our line was equipped with a
complete manual block signal sys
tem, the heaviest possible steel was
laid, the roadbed made as perfect as
anything in the west and new steel
equipment "was purchased as well as
the heaviest of Pacific type locomo
tives. "Now, in spite of all this work of
improvement and safety, two of our
most trusted employes oldest in
point of service, as I have said
bring this trouble.
"Since the installing of the block
signal system, three or four years
ago, this was the first collision of
the sort that has occurred on the
3,000 miles of line of which I have
charge."
Mr. DeBernardi explains that the
number of the locomotive on the train
at La Platte siding was an automatic
"stop order" to passenger train No.
104.
"Engineer Sherlock and Conductor
Ilulse both knew that their train, the
passenger, was to pass freight No.
153 at La Platte and that the locomo
tive of No. 153 was No. 1274. Instead,
they passed another train whose loco
motive was No. 1273. They appar
ently thought that the slight differ
ence in engine numbers was imma
terial. Now Sherlock is dead, with
two other employes, and Conductor
Jeff Hulse is at his home in Missouri,
suffering with a nervous breakdown.
"Our Kansas City-Omaha line is as
near perfect as it could possibly be as
regards physical condition," says Su
perintendent DeBernardi, "and the
fact that but two or three cars left
the track after the smash should
prove this. Several years ago we
cut all the timber off the right of
way, and the clump that permitted the
two trains to come together without
seeing each other is off ourp roperty
and consequently beyond our jurisdic
tion. Our steel passenger cars were
not harmed, and neither was our
freight equipment, with the-exception
of three or four old cars that had
been pressed into service during the
present rush of business.
"We have nothing to conceal. Presi
dent Bush is making no statement on
this accident, because he knows that
his sub-officials will make public im
mediately every detail of the cause
and effects of the collision."

"SATAN SANDERSON"
AT GEM WEDNESDAY
Orrin Johnson, best remembered for
his work in "The Marriage Game,"
"The Confession," and other big
Broadway successes in which he star
red for many seasons, will make his
first appearance in the title role of B.
A. Rolfe's production of Hallie
Ermine River's book and play, "Satan
Sanderson." "Satan Sanderson," in
addition to possessing many poignant
situations and numerous novel
climaxes, is blessed with a strain of
majestic romance and sentiment that
trickles throughout the plots and
counterplots like a crystal brook
through a mountain glen. "Satan
Sanderson," with Orrin Johnson in the
leading role and Irene Warfield in the
role of the blind sweetheart, con
stitutes one of the biggest and best
human interest films yet constructed.
Produced at B. A. Rolfe's studio. Hol
lywood, California, under the direc
tion of Jack Noble, its varied topics,
its splendid action and the telling
story which unravels throughout the
mile of film, is bound to strike a re
sponsive chord among photoplay
patrons who admire the better sort of
motion picture stories.
THEY KNEW THE USE
OF PRINTER'S INK
WOULD BRING RESULTS
If it didn't pay to advertise you
wouldn't see the largest firms in the
country spending thousands of dol
lars each year for printer's ink.
Some started in business a few years
ago in a small way and now they are
the largest of their kind in the United
States simply because they know the
value of newspaper space and adver
tise persistently. You can't get re
sults simply by telling the people you
are in business. You must show
them facts founded by good sound
argument which sets forth the quality
and above all the prices which must
be made to appeal to their pocket
books. . A wise merchant or dealer turns
over his merchandise at least twice
a year, and makes the price so at
tractive that they are bound to sell
the goods. It doesn't make any dif
ference what your goods are if the
prices are such as to be a saving to
the purchaser. But it doesn't always
require prices to sell an article, for if
you have something you want to sell
have faith in said article and you can
sell it if you advertise in the right
way.

One of the finest remembrances
presented to the happy couple was a
collection of silver from the county

years, and this was one that will be
long cherished by Mr. and Mrs.
Seivers.

dustrious manner, while sociability
reigned supreme. When time came
for the luncheon to be served they
were all invited to the pretty dining
room, where an elegant four-course
luncheon was served. The table was
very prettily decorated, the center
piece consisting of a beautiful bouquet
of carnations. For the occasion the
rooms of the Gorder home had been
made very attractive with floral dec
orations. During the afternoon Miss
Margaret Wohlfarth favored the com
pany with a number of vocal selec
tions, while Mrs. Gorder furnished
some very pleasing piano selections
which were very much appreciated
On their departure the guests express
ed themselves as having enjoyed the
occasion immensely, wished the time
had not gone so rapidly and declared
Mrs. Gorder to be a splendid enter
tainer. Those who enjoyed Mrs. Gor-
der's hospitality on this occasion were:
