CHICAGO, Jan. . Although the Coli
seum', in which the national republican
onventi'in is to be held In June, was
closed by order of Building Commissioner
Williams today it Is said the order will lie
rescinded within forty-eight hours and that
no change In convention plans will be
necessary.
The violation charged against the Coli
seum Is purely technical and It was no
sooner made than tho matter was Investi
gated by Graeme Stewart, national com
mitteeman from Illinois, and Senator
Hanna. The Investigation over, both gen
tlemen expressed the opinion that there
was no safer building In the world. State
ments to this effect wero made by Mr.
Hanna and Mr. Stewart and their publi
cation authorised.
Mr. Stewart said: "I feel great personal
responsibility In thl.timatter and If the
Coliseum Is not a sttfe building for the
convention then thcreils no such building
In the country."
Senator Hanna saka

The Coliseum proper Is provided with
twelve wide exits. Secretary Stewart

Carelessness Caused Wreck. '
Carelessness of trainmen caused ' the
wreck. Instructed to meet a special train
at Wlllard, the engineer and conductor of
the Ill-fated passenger, noting that a
freight train stood on the sidetrack at
Wlllard rushed through thinking that the
cars they had seen were tha one they
had been instructed to pass. Failure to
scrutinize the number of tha angina waa
directly responsible for the collision. Had
the engineer compared the number ot the
train at Wlllard with his orders tha sect-,
dent would have been avoided. 1
Upon seeing at Wlllard a freight train on
the siding Engineer Benjamin threw open
the throttle and under the Impetus of full
steam the passenger train leaped out Into
the darknesa and crashed along at a rats
which the passenger, declare to have beM
fully sixty-live mile, an hour. Not a note
of warning of fearful Impending danger
ever made itself known to the sufferers.
General Superintendent G ruber of the.
Rock Island made this Statement to tha
Associated Press.
The engineer of the passenger train had
orders to wait at Wlllard for the extra
stock train. He passed on, mistaking a
freight train on the siding at that station
for the extra stock train. This caused the
wreck. Nobody else is to blame, so far as
our Information goes,
. A formal Inquest was held at the wreck
today by Coroner Do Hey of Wabaunsee
county. The investigation will be continued
tomorrow. Until a verdict placing' the
blame Is returned no action will ba taken
against the trainmen.

are no general offices of either road in this
city, details of the disaster were obtained
with difficulty.
Several reporters who boarded the relief
train as it left Topeka early thl. morning
were put off the train shortly after It
started from that city, and the Brat detail,
of the collision came from persons on thd
wrecked train after they had returned to
Topek..

with few facilities for aid and In the dark
ness, there was much delay In extricating
tie dead and Injured and tn caring for the
latter. The train waa composed of a com
bination baggage and mall car. a regular
baggage car, a smoker, a tourist sleeper
and standard sleeper.
The wreck, according to the passenger
conductor, was caused by the freight arew
running off schedule. The passenger train
had the right-of-way, he declared, and the
freight tram should have waited for It to
pass at Maph-hlll six miles west of the
ice.ie of the collision. The wreck occurred
at a curve.
