THE OMAHA DAILY 1VTa SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1003. TeL 618-ftM. During July and August We C AH Summer House Wrappers, 75c each. On sale Saturday morning. (Y. M. C. A. Building, Corner Sixteenth and Douglas Stj the engine of the second section, all agree that If the brakes had worked aa they ahould when the engineer tried to use them, there would have been no collision. Fireman Colter and Brakeman Benedict, when they saw that a collision could not be averted, Jumped. Engineer Propst re mained at his poat, vainly trying to get tht brakes to work until his train was within Jess than a hundred feet of train No. 1. Then, he, too, Jumped when he was within but a Wry few seconds of sure death In the crash. He was, of course, shaken up aa was the fireman and brakeman, but not badly. None of the crews, of either trnln was hurt. At the time the crash occurred train No. 2 was running probably fifteen miles an hour. General Manager McGulgan of the Grand Trunk system was on his way from Chicago to Montreal and arrived at the scene on a passenger train at 7 a. m. and Immediately took charge of the work of clearing ths track and caring, for the injured and dead. Edward York died at noon at the tem porary hospital.' Fifteen of the injure! were this afternoon taken to the Harper hospital in Detroit for treatment. The.-circus people have pitched their tents and camped near the scene of the wreck. The dining room of Hotel Riche lieu was used as an operating room by the urgeons. A score of wives and daughters' of the rescuers volunteered and worked with the surgeons all the morning.- More than twenty c.f the injured were fastened and pinned down In the wreckage, so that they had to be chopped and pried out. Officers Deny Engineer's Story. The official report on the accident is ued this afternoon by Superintendent Brownlee says: The proper danger signals were dis played by the brakeman of the first sec tion, larrtern, fuses and torpedoes. The engineer of the second section answered the signals and ciaims to nave made ap- f titration of air brakes, but found that the rain was not charged with air and was unable to stop, colliding with the rear end of the first section. Engineer Propst says his brake worked all right at Lansing, where he took water, and that he hud no occasion to .ise It again until he was flagged west of Durand, where he found that the train was not charged with air. The five sleepers In the rear of the section were' found standing about two coach lengths from the end of the train after the accident with the drawheads In one of the cara Jammed In, Indicating that It had broken apart be fore the. accident and rebounded when the train stopped, which Is evidence that the brakes were not applied. The air brake on the train have since been tested and found to be in perfect condition. Manager Most Emphatic. General Manager F, H. McQulgan said this afternoon: Probst knew that he was coming into a yard where trains usually stand and take on coal end wtir. The rules say plainly that engineers shall approach such yards with the trains un1er control. A brakeman sent back bv the first train warned him of the dangT three-qinirters or a mile oetore he reached the standing section. For nearly half n mile before he got to the first train the track Is straight and clear and he should have been able to see the red lights abend and stnr, h! own train. Of course, he. like any one else, will try to avoid such dreadful responsibility. One of the officials In discussing the acci dent and Its cause, said he believed Probst exhausted hie air In checking his train several times between Ianslng and Durand and failed to agnln charge his tank. The bodies of the tread have been placed In Caskets and are being sent to their homes as rapidly as possible. The Injured who re still at the temporary hospital are those suffering from leser hurts, the seri ously wounded being removed to Detroit this afternoon. Pnllnian 1.1 k.e Cork Pit. DETROIT, Aug. 7. Twenty-two of the injured circus men were brought to De troit this afternoon In a special hospital train and taken to Harper hospital, where it was stated tonight that none of them was likely to die, although John Thompson of Peru, Ind., Oeorge Clough of Cleveland, O., and James Stewart of Denver are In a Serious condition and may not recover. The Pullman car that brought the In jured from the scene of the wreck was a pitiful sight when It pulled Into Detroit. The Interior locked like a battlefield after a fierce encounter. Suffering men lay in every Imaginable pesture In the berths. Swathed In encrlmsoned bandages that bore ailent witness to their wounds. Moans and titled crtea told the story of their agony. It was Impossible to carry the stretcher through the narrow, crooked door of the car, and the suffering men were put through the window aa gently aa pos Ible. . Clan Gordon picnic, Krug park.

Calh Upon Pret ident Rr sevelt AMBASSADOR PRESENTS CREDENTIALS Reception by President at Summer Home, However, Sot to Be Taken as Precedent, Excepting; Inder Like Conditions. OTSTER HAT, N. T., Aug. 7. Sagamore Hill was the scene today of an Interesting ceremony. Baron Speck von Sternburg, who has been minister plenipotentiary of Germany to the United States since Ambassador Holleben, returned to Europe, and who recently, on the retirement of Mr. Von Holleben, was elevated to the rank of ambassador, presented to the president his credentials ns ambassador and was received formally In his new diplomatic rank by President Roosevelt. Ambassador von Sternburg arrived here at 10:04 o'clock from New York. He was accompanied by Acting Secretary of State Loomls and Colonel Simons, superintendent of the public buildings and grounds at Washington. The ambassador was in full court dress. The formal presentation oc curred In the parlor of the Roosevelt home. Presents HI Credentials. Ambassador von Sternburg laid before President Roosevelt the letter announcing the recall of Ambassador von Holleben and his own credentials, as successor. The German ambassador said: Mr. President: By command of his ma jesty, the German emperor, king of Prus sia, my most gracious master, I have the honor, Mr. President, to place In your hands a letter of his majesty, whereby he recalls his former ambasssdor extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary In the United States of America. I place this, my credential letter. In your hands with the assurance that It shall be my most earnest endeavor to cultivate, promote and develop the relations of friend ship which has so long existed without the slightest Interruption between Germany and the United States. I irust, Mr. President, that you will kindly second my efforts and thus facilitate the fulfillment of my Important mission. Reply of the President. President Roosevelt replied as follows: Mr. Ambassador: I have much pleasure In reoelvlng from your hand the letter whereby his majesty, the German emperor, accredited you as his ambassador extra ordinary and minister plenipotentiary In the United States of America, in place of his majesty's former ambassador, Mr. Von Holleben, whose letter -of recall you now deliver to me. Your knowledge of the American govern ment and people, Rained during your sev eral periods of resldenoe here as a diplo matic agent of Germany, and the pleasant relations which have existed between your self and the executive officers of this coun try, lend added weight to the assurance of your desire and endeavor to advance and strengthen the relations of amity whloh have been maintained so long and un brokenly between the United States and Germany, and will enable you, moreover, to appreciate at Its full weight the re ciprocal assurance which I fladly offer that It Is the purpose of this government to promote In all practical ways the fulfill ment Of your mission. Tnlk as Old Friends. At the conclusion of the, ceremony the president and Ambassador von Sternburg, as old friends, chatted animatedly. The ambassador will be the unofficial guest of the president until some time tomorrow. It was stated authoritatively today that the reception by the president of the Ger man ambassador at Sagamore Hill Is not to be regarded as a precedent, although it Is the first time In the history of the coun try that an ambassador has presented hi credentials to the president outside of Washington. Minister who arrive In the United States during the vacation season will not be presented to the president at his rummer home unless there Is some strong and urgent reason for It. Baron von Stern burg was received because the circum stances conneoted with his coming to the United States were exceptional In a ense. Then, too, he la a long-time personal friend of the president. The only way In which the presentation today may be considered aa a precedent will be when the conditions are similar, 'hat Is, when an ambassador shall receive his promotion to that rank while accredited to this country as a min ister plenipotentiary MUlurd at Oyster Day. Senators Millard of Nebraska and Hep burn of Idaho were among the guests of President and Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon. Roth of the senators came to see the presi dent on matters connected with appoint ments In their respective states. To the senators President Roosevelt ex plained his desire for financial legislation at the approaching session, Senator Mil lard agreed as to the desirability of a more elastic currency, but waa quite positive the government itself ought to be behind every dollar of currency Issued, so that no question of its value would ever be raised. He expressed the belief that government bonds in sufficient quantity were now out standing to afford a basis for currency issues. Ha would favor the right kind of meas ure fcr a more elastlo currency, but was sure some of the measures recently pro posed would not be acceptable to the coun try. Senator Millard expects to sail next Tuesday for Europe."" He will be accom panied by his daughter and will be absent only a few weeks. During a part of this afternoon the presl dent and Baron von Sternberg practiced rifle shooting. Both are experts at the butts, the ambassador being regarded as one of the finest shots In the German army. FAMILY QUARREL IS BLOODY Daughter . I Shot and Killed and Other Members Are Badly Wounded.

AMERICANS IN GENERAL COME IN FOR RUB nallroad Magnate la Belabored In Lively Manner and Incidentally Uerman Ambassador I Roasted. (Copyright. 1003. by Press Publishing Co) BERLIN, Aug. 7.-(New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) No recent Incident ha aroused such antl-Amcrlcan animus a the kaiser' civilities to Cor nelius Vanderbllt. The press keeps harp ing bitterly upon it, and the Wclt-um-Mon-tag has Just published a furious tirade, attributing the kaiser's action to the in spiration of Baron Speck von Sternberg, the German ambassador to tho United States. The Welt-am-Montag says: "When Specky heard of Vanderbllt's Journey he cogitated as to what diplomatic advantage he could obtain out of the event, and as Ids position does not call for spe cially Intellectual work he conceived that It would flatter the Yankees If special honor should be shown the representative of the Almighty Dollar. The kaiser relied on his Specky and gave Instructions to show Cor nelius II honors. "But at home the Yankees, as they spit around them In big circles, laugh cnnnlngly about Vanderbllt, whose glorification may cause him to hold his nose still higher. In America the Vanderbilts do not enjoy a good character. Old Cornelius was hated for unscrupulousness, and the young Van derbilts are despised as do-nothings and conceited boobies. The men are Intellectu ally and morally far below the lowest ranks of American society." After saying that the persons the kaiser should honor are men of Intellect and hon orable schlevement the artlcte continues: "The Invisible crown which surrounds the head of the empty, stupid, money up start la formed of mud, blood and sweat of workers and weavers. Such persons de serve no friendly consideration, let alone glorification." The story la published here that Mr. Vanderbllt desired to purchase Castle Ma rlenberg, so closely associated with German filstory, snd upon being informed that It was not for sale, exclaimed: "I wanted It for a racing stable. These German are incurable Idealists." A cavalry officer Is said to have asked Mr, Vanderbllt to show htm a thousand dollar bill, having never seen one- Mr. Vanderbllt replied: "I am sorry, but I never carry any change so small."
