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.

DETROIT, Aug. 7. Twenty-two of the

it was stated tonight that none of them
was likely to die, although John Thompson
of Peru, Ind., Oeorge Clough of Cleveland,

Serious condition and may not recover.
The Pullman car that brought the In

a fierce encounter. Suffering men lay in
every Imaginable pesture In the berths.
Swathed In encrlmsoned bandages that bore

stand. '
Mr. Goode testified that he was In Jackson

and was In a room with Hargla and Ewen
alone and Ewen had stated to Hargla then
that he did know who killed Marcum. Goode
stated that Ewen had repeated this state

requested that it not be published, aa he
feared for his life.
O. C. Bollln, another rebuttal witness,

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.

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."
DEATH BLOW JT0 TARIFF PLAN
British Government Officials Decide
Against Chamberlain's Imperial

LONDON, Aug. . The Dally Mall this

have unanimously advised against .. the
adoption of Mr. Chamberlain's proposals

adds:
This Is practically the end of the inquiry

to have the greatest Influence In determin
ing Mr. Balfour's attitude on the matter.
The Dally Mall claims that this decision
Is a death blow to Mr. Chamberlain's pro
gram, as It has little doubt the premier will
decide against him.
"Although the latter has a great follow
ing In the country," Bays the Mall, "he
can hardly expect to prevail against the

needed at Jefferson City if it were not for
the sandbaggers sent there," he said. ' The
railroads havo been forced to keep repre

tection. Every railroad In Missouri would
be bankrupt If It were not for the lobby."

have been courteously treated, and will
return as a witness at any time Circuit
Attorney Folk may call for me."

Colonel Thelps found It necessary to stand
on his constitutional rights when replies
were requested to some of the questions
asked by Circuit Attorney Folk. It Is also
