As to who Is responsible for the open switch which was the cause of the wreck the railroad officials are still uncertain. They believe that the wreck is the result of either a maniac who wanted to see a wreck of uch a fast train or some person bent upon revenge. A careful examination of the switch today showed that It was In perfect condition. Detertlrei Are at Warlc Detectives are working on the ease. Trainmen are or me opinion uimi io crew of the Twentieth Century was dece'ved by a aecond white light 100 feet beyond the witch which was open, but while traveling at such fast speed were unable to gauge the distance and mistook the second light far the first one. W. H. Marshall, general manager of the Lake Shore, believes the speed of the train 5v as not a contributory cause to the wreck. !e said that other Lake Shore trains travel through Mentor at a speed equal to that attained by the Twentieth Century last eight, which was not. Mr. Marshall said, above the rate of sixty miles an hour. The schedule for the train called for a speed of flfty-eeen miles an hour at that point. The wreck had no effect on the sale f tickets for the same train tonight, the full quota allotted to this city having been solj long before the time for the train's de parture. Coroner York of Ike county announced this evening that the Inquest would bejla next Monuay morning at t o"clock at the oourtbouse In PalnesvlUe. He says he will summon officials of the railroad company to testify. Boy Probably to Blasue. It is probable that Investigation tomorrow will develop that a boy 14 years old med dled with the switch at the Mentor station lust night and caused the wreck of the Twentieth Certury flyer. William Veher. ticket atent of the Nlckle Plate, and James Barnes of Wllloughby were on the scene of the wreck twenty minutes after the wrerk happened. On tl.e way they met a boy carrying a lantern. They questioned hln and he said that he had been down to shut a switch. The men went to the scene of the wreck and found the switch open, but locked. The men are of the opinion that the boy thought that there was a freight ahead of the Twentieth Century and opened the switch to let lt through and take a sid ing, and that he meant to open the switch Instead of closing it. portunltles to witness Its glittering pag eantry. From one of the balconies of the palace the procession was witnessed by the archduchesses and their children.

PORTLAND, Ore . June r. The exami nation of Judge Albert H Tanner was con tinued ,by the prosecution today In the trial of United States Senator John II. Mitchell. Tanner Identified checks id by Frederick A. Krebs to Tamer and letters that passed between himself and Senator Mitchell relative to their practices before the land department. Lett. ts showing that Mitchell received each mnth his share of the firm's earnings, which was one-half of the net ree-elpts. and that the money paid by Krebs to Tanner entered Into the funds divided at the end of each month was offered in evidence. A letter from Mitchell to Tanner showing that he re ceivd upon his own request a copy of the firm's books, showing all receipts and how secured during the senator's stay in Wash ington, was an exhibit offered today District Attorney Heney questioned Judge Tanner as to his trip to meet Senator Mitchell In December last, when the sena tor was returning to Portland a short time prior to his first Indictment. Judge Tanner told of having received a telegram from the senator asking him to come as far as Kalama. Wash., to meet him. The Judge had taken the trip and had met the senator or. the train with Blnger Hermann and Frank C of the republican state central committee. The senator, he said. :was very eager for land fraud nems. and ske-d If there was any danger of the govtrament agents hav ing had access to the btiks of the Arm. Mr. Mitchell expressed, said the witness, deep concern about the entries and transactions the firm had had with Krebs, and wanted to see the books. The following day Judge Tanner testified, the senator went to the office and In company with him (Tanner) looked over the books, page by page. Ac cording to the testimony of the Judge Mitchell expressed surprise at the way the entries had been made and demanded that the old books be destroyed, saying the en tries in regard to Krebs transactions would not only indict, but would convict him If they fell Into the hands of the govern ment. Judge Tanner testified that he had told the senator that though it would necessi tate perjury, and that he had never done such a thing in his life, he would stand by his partner and do what he could to help him. He had agreed to destroy the books If necessary and had called the senator's attention to the clause in the partnership agreements by which the senator was to receive all the fees for work done before the departments. He had changed them and the new agreements had been dated back tp March 1, ireOl, the same as the original, and had been signed by both. The subsequent letters passing between the two men were also offered in evidence as tending to show still further the knowledge of the defend ant that he had been violating the law.

Lord Kitchener, in an, important minute addressed to the home giovernment, speaks In the plainest possible terms In denoun cing the faulty system prevailing in India, which he points out has not changed since the time of the mutiny, and which was framed to meet peace requirements Instead of the possibility of a great war.

It is understood his condition is not seri ous, but his physician was called in last night and ordered the minister not to leave his bedroom today. There Is no Intima tion, however, that this will appreciably de lay the pending negotiations. The question of a temporary suspension of hostilities seems u rest with Japan.

Coha. a Tormer employe of the-"-Wafers-Pierce Oil company, against whteh concern, together wun tne tetandard Oil company and the Republic Oil company. Attorney General Hadley of Missouri ha instituted suit to revoke their charters, was recalled todav at the hearing of the case before Special Commissioner Anthony, for the purpose of cross-examination by Judve Priest, attor ney for the defendant corporations. Mr. Conn yesterday tc-stlfled for the state regarding the methods of the Waters Pierce company. When asked today ques tions relative to the business of his pres ent employers, he refused to answer on the ground that it would violate "trade se crets." Judge Priest then askc-d Mr. Conn why he was not equally scrupulous about the "trade secrets" of the Waters-Pierce com pany and the witness replied that after he had left the employ of the Waters-Pierce company the latter had tried to ruin his reputation and deprive him of the means of making a living. While a spectator of the proceedings. President Andrew M. Flnlay of the Waters Pierce Oil company was noticed by Attor ney General Hadley and was quickly subpoenaed as a state s witness. He was not brought in today's proceedings, how ever. Maywood Maxon of Decatur. 111., formerly an employe of the Standard Oil company, was a witness. He said he was ordered to come to St. Louis to confer with President Flnlay of the Waters-Pierce Oil company in regard to territorial lines between the two companies in Illinois. He said to President Finlay: 'I can't understand why the Republic company, a friendly Interest, should name the prices they had in Illi nois. aiitagr,nlMic to the interests of the Standard Oil company." At this reply J. D. Johnson, one of the attorneys for the Waters-Pierce company, objected to the Investigation being con ducted for what he termed the 'benefit of public opinion." Attorney General Hadley was on his feet Instantly and exclaimed: "I want to re sent that statement as absolutely false." Commissioner Anthony overruled the ob jection and the examination resumed. WILLI AM STOW N. Mass. June C The liguig Journey of President Roosevelt among the colleges of western Massachu setts ended toe'.ay with his departure from Wllliamstown after he had received from Williams college the honorary degree of LH. D. His stay in this state, which was i'f scarcely thirty-two hours' duration, was a busy one He attended three college com mencements, at two of which he received high honorary degrees; traveled severvl hundred miles, and besides delivering sig nificant addresses at each commencement, made a number of speeches from the phit form of Ms car to cltirens who had gath ered at the stations along the route. The president arose eariy today and leaned from a window enjoying the superb view- of the Berkshire country. After Baker,' chairman I breakfast the preside nt devoted a few min utes to meeting the classmates of Federal Commissioner James R. Garfield, who Is a trustee of Williams, and then made a quirk Inspection of the new memorial chapel ded icated yesterday. After a short walk the president accepted the Invitation of his host for a drive, which ended Just before the commencement exer cises began. He spoke twice here. on?e upon receiving the degree and again frem the steps of the church where the com mencement exercises were held to the peo ple who could not get into the auditorium. Then came luncheon, and by 2 o clock the president was on his way to Washington. The train made stops at North Adams and Pltlsfteld. where the citizens Joined In dem onstrations and were addressed briefly by Mr. Roosevelt. The President's Speech. The president In his speecv. tiere, after re ferring to the work of Williams college, the situation in Santo Domingo and the need of a strong navy, said: Another question of which I wish to Fpcak is tnat of a closer supervision by the gov ernment e.f great industrial conihinatums. I think that it has t-een a RTeat mistake to act on the theory which has shaped most of eiur legislation, national and state, fetr the last thirty years that it is possible to turn back the har.ds of the clock, to forbid com binations and to restore business accord ing to and under conditions which have absolutely passed away. That cannot lie done. What we can have detiie is to put an efficient supervision over the owner of the combination. I do not helf-ve that such supervision can come efTe-cllvely through the state, not tlxit it can effectively come through the municipality, but ultimately in the great majority of cases to be effective It must be exercised by the national gov ernment. As the first Ftep to that I hoi to see the passage of legislation which will give, aB an executive, not as the Judicial function to the national government, tlie supervision of the railways of the United States which are engaged In interstate commerce, with the power when a rate Is complained ef as Improper and unjust to examine that rale, and if they think the rate aaould be cuanged to charge it to a given rate, and to have that given rate take practically immediate effect It can only come If the officers entrusted with the administration eif the law remember that It is exactly as much their duty to pro tect the railroad from the pub::c as to protect the public from the railroads. I am going to illustrate what 1 mean by some work new being done in the Ix-part-ment of Justice and in the bureau of cor- XK'rations. ut the head of which stands your fellow alumnus. James R.
