Engineer tnahle to Stop Train Befora
It Reaches Intersection of Track
Doth Train were Han
la Rapidly.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 1. A Chicago Great Wes
tern stock train, running about twenty
miles an hour as It was going to the St.
Paul yards at 9:30 o'clock thin morning
struck the middle of a 800 line passenger
train which had Just left the Union station
and hurled two Pullman sleepers over a j
retaining wall to the bottom of-a gully
twenty feet below. One sleeper landed bot
tom aide up and the other fell on IIS aide.
Both car were badly wrecked. One woman
was so badly Injured that she died In St.
Joseph's hospital shortly after being taken
there and nine othen were seriously in
jured, while a acore or more were less
seriously hurt." The Boo train had arrived
from Montreal, thirty minutes late and
vai bound for Minneapolis, running so
wltnessea aay, about thirty miles an hour.
As It neared Fourth street, the track on
which It wan running leads to an inside
double track, Here the engineer of the
Poo train sighted '.he Great Western Cattle
train going for the South St. Paul stock
ards and heading for a split switch which
connects the outside and Inside tracks.
The engineer of the Great Western train
whistled for breaks, showing that his air
breaks were not working and ua a warning
to the 800 train, but It was evidently not
heard, as the Soo traih failed to slacken.
Train Nearly Empty.
The engine and first sleeper of the Soo
train got safely across the switch, but the
second and third sleepers were hit. The
end of the fourth sleeper was partially
wrecked. That no more were killed or
Injured Is due to the fact that the train
wes nearly empty, having discharged the
greater number of Its passengers at the
Union depot here.
Revised list of the dead and Injured:
Dead:
' MRS. CHARA M. CROSS, Minneapolis,
died at St. Joseph's hospital.
Injured:
J. P. Wilkinson, aged 45, Minneapolis,
head and right hip injured, very seriously
hurt.
K. 8. Martin, head badly bruised.

neapolis, back and head hurt, seriously.
I.. S. Morris, Jiged 43, Montreal, Canada,
head, back anflf neck Seriously hurt.

Miss Crugltn, New York, slightly hurt.
' Injured Mar Die.
Of the seriously Injured there are six menH
and two women at St. Joseph's hospital.
Of these It Is feared two or three may die.
Mr. Martin, who has a fractured skull. Is
In a critical condition.
About twenty were treated at the Union
depot by surgeons, and nearly all of them
were able to go to hotels or continue their
Journey to Minneapolis, the destination of
the train. The Mfsa Crughltn, of New York,
whose name appears among the list of
lightly Injured, was able to go to a hotel
after her Injuries were attended to by a
surgeon.
The direct cause of the accident was the
failure of the air brakes on the stock train
to work. The Soo I J ne passenger train had
Just left the depot for Minneapolis and
was crossing the Chicago Oreat Western
trackB, about four blocks east of the sta
tion. The track runs along a high em
bankment at this point. The fast Great
Western stock train coming along at a
good speed struck the passenger train about
In the middle, hurling the Pullman coaches
over the embankment and they landed up
side down In a wrecked heap, twenty-five
feet below. The wreckage caught fire, but
It was promptly extinguished by the St.
Paul fire department. A squad of police
and all the hospital ambulances of the city
with a large corps of surgeons were on the
spot In a short time and the Injured were
quickly taken from the wreck and sent to
the hospital.

SALVATION ARMY CRITICISED
-
Englishman Says Member of Boots'!
' Organisation Are In Slate of
Servitude.
LONDON, Oct. 1 (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) Now that General Booth, the
commander-ln-chlrf of the Salvation army,
has returned not only from a triumphal
tour around the world, but a swing around
the circle in Great Britain, there uppears
to be a disposition to criticise him and his
movements In certain quarters. Among
the remarkable Interviews concerning tiie
general and his life work Just given out
to the public is the following with John
Holland of GatesheaU-on-Tyne:
Those who have some practical ac
quaintance with tills remarkatile movement
of the Salvation Army and who, though
friendly to its work are not blind to its
defects, will -And their thoughts passing
from the glitter and show of General
Booth's triumphal progress to the drab
background of the Salvation army Itself,
where many serious grievances await re
dress. Among these may be mentioned:
First The absence of any means within
the organization for the frank discussion
of Its defects and needs.
Second The fact that Its 14,000 paid of
ficers are subject to the control of a few
olMctala at International headquarters;
that any one of them may be censured,
tried or dismissed on any charge, without
any power of effective rppeal.'and without
the facta being brought to light.
Third The fact that resignations In all
ranks are so frequent, engendering a grave
suspicion that profound dissatisfaction ex
ists throughout the organization.
Fourth The fact that many officers exist
on wie merest pittance, are often dependent
on sympathizers for food, wear themselves
out by the time they ought to be at their
prime, and are frequently compelled to
seek other , avocations when impaired
health renders success In that quest the
more difficult.
Filth The fact that Instances have oc
curred where officers after giving the best
of their lives to the Salvation armv ser
vice, are releguted to the background the
assurance department for Instance or "re
tired" without a pension, perhups with a
grant of a few noumU
Sixth The fact that thp general body of
iiiiuiiiii, tnotign tney give freely of
their time and money to the work, are
without any effective share In the govern
ment of the organization they voluntarily
compose.
All these things point to some deep-rooted
cause. That cause, I believe to be the es
sential contradiction existing between the
Christian nature of the movement and the
military syMem that has been ibwigned for
It. Military government centering in auto
cratic authority In a Christian bodv Is
repugnant to the true sense of the eternal I
units 01 tilings, and alien to the spirit
and teachings of the new testament. The
essence of Christianity Is freedom. The
essence of militarism and autocracy, even
!" .V'6 m,"Ji"ed form in which they exist
in the Salvation army. Is servitude.
In any movement the principles of or
ganization ought to be in accord with the
reasons and objects which called it Into
existence.
The reason for existence of the Salvation
army is the propagation of the gospel. Its
policy Is a form of military autocracy.
Here, then, there Is clashing of conflicting
principles. Whatever may be thought of
these opinions there can be no question
as to the existence of evils In this bene
nclent movement which thoroughly Tieeds
remedying.
OUTRAGES AT BIALYSTOK
Letter
Tells
Jews
of Hard Treatment
st the Hands of
Soldiers.
of
MOSCOW. Oct. 1. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Letters Just received from Bia.
lystok relating to the shooting- down of
Jews by Russian soldiers contain many
hitherto suppressed facts. One of the let
ters from Rlalystok says:
Since the town haB been declared to he
subject to martial law and the military
have become masters of the town, groups
of soldiers two or three in number, have
been patrolling the streets. While a group
of woiklngtnen was standing quletlv In
Surazslisya street the patrol ordered them
to o'.snerse and one of the group remon
strated. The officer In command, without
giving the nisn any notice, ordered a sol
dier to shoot him. which was Instantly done
A bomb was thrown out of the crowd
which killed one soldier and wounded sev
eral. Then an order was given bv the offi
cer to shoot down everv Jew. Then begun
a dreadful firing in the BurazskaVa street
and neighboring streets. The soldiers, drunk
with the sight of blood, were overrunning
the streets and without notice shooting
down every Jew. male or female, met on
the way. If any man showed himself on
the balcony or st the window he was In
stantly shot down. The day's work resulted
In eighty killed outright and about )
wounded, of whom many are dying every
day.
Out of many esses I shall cite only a few.
An old man. Itskhnk Plon bv name, was
returning from the house of (od, where he
was saying his afternoon prayers. A soldier
came up. lired at him and ti.e old man fell
to the ground. Ills son. 21 years old. rushed
out of the house to assist hi father, who
was lying In a pool of blood. H had not
time to come up close to his father before
he was shot down dead. The soldier walked
up to him. searched his pockets and took
away a watch and purse. Other people
tried to come nut to remove the bodies
from the streets, but the soldiers started
firing gnd would not let them, so those dead
bodies and many others were lying in the
streets all the afternoon and all the night
tint 11 Sunday morning, when they were put
on cars and, like dead cattle, taken away
In heaps to the hospital courtyard.
Another fact is still more horrible. In
Mlnskaya street. In the house of Venlk,
lived a shoemaker. Ahram Goldberg. He
was silting In his tenement, situated on the
ground floor, reading the Psalms and sus
pecting no evil. His wife noticed a soldier
coming Into the yard Slid aiming at the
windows. Before she had lime to shout to
her husband to run away from the window
a gun was fired and the bullet hit the man
In the head, killing htm outright and leav
ing a woman with seven children in terrible
poverty.
When, on the following day. the mayor.
M. Mailanowskl, with a deputation, went to
the general commanding the troops in Bla
Ivstok to complain of the conduct of the
soldiery and to beg of him to take measures
that such a thing snouin not occur again,
the general answered: "Tell the inhabi
tants of your town that If another soldier
is killed I shall hand over the town to the
soldiers for three days.

LABORERS REFUSE TO LAND
Men Taken frem Martinique ta Panama to
Work on Canal Balk.
FINALLY DRIVEN ASHORE BY P0UCE
Many arc Badly Injured by Blows
from I'lahs of Officers Refuse
to Listen to French
Consul.
COLON. Oct. l.-Slx hundred and fifty
laborers from Martinique brought here Frl
dayon the French steamer, Versailles un
der contract to work In the canal refused
to disembark or to submit to vaccination,
which Is imperative under the American
sanitary regulations. They clamored to
be taken back to Martinique, asserting that
they had been misinformed as to the condi
tions here before they embarked and that
later they learned these conditions were
Intolerable and deadly. Yesterday morn
ing, however, 600 of them were with dif
ficulty persuaded to land and these were
sent to points along the line of the canal.
One hundred and fifty remained on board
and declined to leave the ship under any
consideration. These were forcibly ejected
from the vessel this afternoon by Panama
and Canal xone policemen, but not until
nearly everyone of them had been clubbed
and several were bleeding from ugly
wounds.
Refuse to Listen to Reason.
All of yesterday and last night the Ver
sailles was guarded by Panama policemen.
Early this morning, the French consul
at Colon, M. Bonhcnry. appealed to the
men to listen to reason, explaining that
they had left Martinique under contract
with the 'Canal lone emlgrutlon agent
guaranteeing the payment of their passage
here and that while working on the canal
they would have In addition to their wages
the guarantee of free quarters and free
medical attendance. The men, however,
were not answerable to this reasoning.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the consul,
and others and despite the information
given them by several of their country
men that health and other conditions on the
isthmus were satisfactory and that the
terms of their employment would enable
them to save money, they persistently re
fused to leave the ship baring their breats
and Invoking death In preference to going
ashore.
The captain of the Versailles who all
through tho trouble displayed an extra
ordinary amount of patience told the men
that he was ready to take back to Marti
nique all those who were able to pay their
passage, but the men argued that the
French government would be willing to
relmbure the steamship company and that
they themselves were penniless.
Driven Ashore by Police.
Before noon, at the Instance of M. Haven,
the agent of the company, and a French
consul, a squad of twelve police went on
board the vessel and told the men that
force would be used If they persisted in
their refusal to disembark. Seeing that
the police were armed with bayonets and
guns, the men again bared their breasts
and, said- they preferred death rather than
to be taken ashore. Governor Melerudex.
Mayor Aldron, the chief of police and
others argued with the men but without
avail.
At 2 o'clock the laborers were Informed
that they would he given two hours to
reconsider their decision and at 4 o'clock
three of them consented to disembark, 'he
others still holding out. Then the Panaman
police, armed with clubs, approached thn
laborers and on their refusing to quit 'he
ship began to club them right and left.
The xone police a few minutes later
assisted In the clubbing but with better
judgment and less Indiscriminately. About
fifty of the laborers leaped Into Che sea,
but all of the men were able to swim.
The captain, however, lowered a boat wnlcti
picked them up. Nearly every man had
received blows and several of them were
bleeding from ugly wounds.
Seeing that resistance was useless the
men then yielded and came ashore and
began to eat the food which had been
placed on the dock In sight of them for
several hours. Many of them had not
eaten since Saturday.
At I o'clock all the laborers, who were
In a pitiable condition, were placed 011 a
train which left for Corozel where they
will be put to work.

All was quiet on the King's Highway
yesterday. The day was one of rest in
every sense of the word. Save for a few
policemen, who walked the ellent streets
of Ue festal city, crunching confetti under
their feet, and the watchmen at the gates,
there was little during the morning hours
to disturb the Sabbath caltti that hung
over the Highway.
About noon the animals in the wild anl-

out of the bars and blinked their eyes
against the flood of sunshine that found
Its way through the eaves of the tent.
Soon afterward a man came, in with a
I lot of meat and then one of the lions
passed the word down the line and in a
Jiffy the wild animal show was as wide
awake as a Sunday school picnic.
"Queen Lll." the riding elephant, has

repeated her antics of Saturday evening
she would be placed In the detention home.
As a matter of fact, Lll was given a bath

Lll slept until noon Sunday and took a walk
In the afternoon with her keeper.

SUIT AGAINST ROYAL ARCANUM
Columbus Attorney Asks Injunction
Against Increased Assessment
Ordered.
COLUMBUS. Neb.. Oct. 1 (Special.) A
case has been filed In the district court,
the outcome of which will be of more
or less Interest to this state, and
also to all parts of the United States.
W. A. McAllister, a prominent attorney
here. Is the plaintiff In the action, and he
names the Royal Arcanum as the de
fendant. He recites In his petition that
the defendant is a corporation organized
under and by virtue of the laws of the
J state of Massachusetts, and doing busi
ness in Nebraska. He alleges that In
1W0 he Joined Mystic council No. 130 of
the order In this city; that he was at
that time between 32 and 33 years of age;
that the defendant Issued a beneficiary
policy on his life In the sum of S.1,000;
that It was agreed that the monthly as
sessment on the same would be $1.50; that
several years later hla assessment was In
creased, and that on the first day of last
v. ""', r,vim iijLi'-nnr ill iikj -
...,. ,. ia,,ij
making his monthly
payment $10.77. This last payment is on
the basis of 08 years of age, and under
the by-laws and constitution, which Is
made a part of the petition, the Royal
Arcanum can accept no applicant or issue
any policy after 56 yenrs of age. The
plaintiff prays, that the defendant may be
perpetually enjoined and restrained from
making the plaintiff's assessment any
higher than it would be at Do years, which
Is the limit. The case will very probably
be heard in the federal courts.
LOSE TRAIL IN , SNOWSTORM
Rxplorers Sent Out by Motor League
Have Rough Experience In
Wyoming.
ROCK SPRINGS. Wyo., Oct. 1. (Special.)
The Reo Mountaineer, the slxteen-horse
power automobile sent out by the Ameri
can Motor league on a tour of exploration,
which takes It twice across the American
continent, arrived here this afternoon in
a blinding snowstorm, after having lost
the trail and spent the night In the moun
tains, with the thermometer far below the
freezing point.,
The Reo Mountaineer, driven by Percy
F. Megargel of the Buffalo Automobile
club, who is accompanied by David F. Fas
sett of Lansing, as mechanician, passed
through Omaha on September 6. The car
Is specially made for touring or at least
the body Is so constructed that by tipping
over the front seat and changing the po
sition of the cushions. It presents very
much the same appearance as a Pullman
berth.
Despite the fact that most of the moun
tain passes are closed for the winter, the
Reo Mountaineer started westward again
this afternoon with a Btock of provisions
ample for a week In the mountains should
the blizzard cause the tourists to again
lose their way.
Three thousand of the 9.000-mlle trip
have already been covered and tho tourists
expect to make New York by January 1,
unless hopelessly burled In the snows In
either the Cascade or Sierra Nevada moun
tain ranges.

LOOMIS AND BOWES
Letters Between Assistant Secretary and
President on One Fbaie of Case
ATTITUDE OF SECRETARY HAY DISCUSSED
Friends of Former Minister Fay He Urged
Fresident to Dismiss Loom is.
MR. ROOSEVELT CONTRADICTS STATEMENT
Says Secretary Objected to Even Lijht
Censure of Lr. Loomis.
REGARDED BOWEN'S CHARGES PERSONAL
a a He Was Disloyal to the Depart
ment of Administration
and to Ills Coun
try. WASHINGTON. Oct. 1 In correspon
dence between President Roosevelt and
Assistant Secretary of State Loomla, made
public here tonight, the president says
Secretary Hay disagreed with hlin on even
mild censure, of Mr. Loomis In the Taft
report on the Investigation of tho charges
brought by Mr. Bowen, formerly minister
to Venezula and adds that Secretary Huy
very strongly condemned Mr. Bowens
course. The president quoted Mr. liny
as declaring that most of the charges were
really ngainpt himself. (Mr. Hay), and
"not against Mr. Loomis at all," and that
Mr. Bowen knew that.
The statement made public Is as follows:
In order to make known the real facts
concerning a widely current misappre
hension respecting certain views of the
late secretary ot Btute, Mr. Hay, the fol
lowing corespondence was given to the
press today:
Department of State, Washington, D. C,
September 1!i6.
Dear Mr. President: For some time past
there hns appeared in various newspapers,
including some of the journals published
In New York, statements, more or less
direct, to the effect that grave differences
of opinion existed between yourself and the
late secretary of state, Mr. Hay, concern
ing both myself and the action to be taken
by you on the findings and report of Sec
retary Taft In the mutter of charges made
against me hy Bowen, a former United
States minister to Venezuela. I will cite
a cuse in point:
Not long hbo a responsible New York
paper, to which, I am reliably Informed
on the best authority, Mr. Bowen has been
freely offering materiul for use, printed
the follcwlng pnrueraph:
"Practically the last official act of Mr.
Hay's life was to visit the White House,
for the purpose of urging the president
not lo dismiss Bowen and to dismiss
Loomis. but learning the president's mind
waa made up, he went away with his mes
sage unspoken.
"Mr. Hay thoroughly disliked and dls
trusted him (myself) and told the presi
dent so, but was finable to produce any
effect on the president's mind."
Similar suggestions, more or less circum
stantial In form, have so frequently ap
peared In the public prints that 1 am con
strained to Inquire whether. Insofar as you
are aware, they aro supported by any babia
of truth?
I do not know what private conversation
may have taken place between yourself
and Mr. Hay concerning me and my course
of conduct while I was connected with the
service, of the public, but I do know from
Mr. Hays' own Hps something of his
opinion of Mr. Bowen and -1 know full
well both the unfailing courtesy with whlcli
Mr. Hay received my many suggestions
concerning departmental matters and the
personal cordiality which he always mani
fested toward me.
In December Inst I went to Mr. Hay's
house and told him that I expected to re
sign from the department within the course
of the next elKht or nine months, He was
good enough to say:
"I am extremely sorry to hear this; I
have always lni)cd you would remain In
your present position as long as I remained
In the cabinet."
On other occasions, both before and
since that time. Mr. Huy accorded mo
seemingly convincing proofs of his confi
dence. It may Interest you to know that at Mr.
Hay's request I spent at his home whHt
proved to be practically the Inst hour of
his life In Washington. He upon that oc
casion indicated to me fully and lucidly
as was his wont, what he wished mv two
colleagues and myself to do In depart
mental action and policy to be cnrrlecj out
during Ills absence, he referred to the
Bowen episode with much feeling. Among
other things ho said he was dlHgusted with
Bowen beyond expression: that vanity ap
peared to Ive a oisenso wun mm, ana mm
he was both disloyal and untruthful, and
had been treacherous not only to hlin
(Mr. Hay) but lo the country.
In view of this conversation, to which
I have adverted in the briefest possible
manner. It Is difficult for me to believe
that there Is any truth In either of the
foregoing paragraphs which I have quoted,
or any others which have been printed of
similar import.
As I am very soon to retire from tna
public service. I trust that you will feel
that I am not unduly or Improperly trcB
passlng on your time with this rather per
sons! matter.
Respectfully and sincerely yours,
FRANCIS B. LOOMIS.
Mr. Iloosrvrlt's Letter.
The president's letter:
THE WHITE HOUSE. OYSTER BAY,
Sept. 27. Mv Dear Mr. Isinniis: In answer
to your letter of September ?S, I desire to
state, in the broadest and most emphatic
manner, that tho statement you quote as
a parHgraph In certain newspapers and
especially in certain New York newspapers,
as to the supposed differences of opinion
between myself and the late secretary of
state. Mr. Hay. In respect to the action
taken by me regarding Mr. Bowen In con
nection with the charges against you Is
not merely without foundation In fact, but
Is the direct reverse of the truth.
You were appointed assistant secretary
of state on Mr. Hay s suggestion and re
quest. He never Bpoke to me about you
save with respect and cordial appreciation
of the services you were rendering and he
expressed to me very great regret that you
were going to leave the service and stated
that he had hoped that you would stay as
long as he did and that he would find It
rflmcult to get anyone in your place whom
he would like so much.
Mr. Hay expressed himself very freely on
the occasion of his iHHt visit to Washing
ton, Including the last occasion when I
ever saw him alive, us regards the aciioii
taken bv me on the report of Mr. Taft
concerning the charges mad" by Mr. Bowen
against you.
Not only did he express himself about
Mr. Kowen to me in the languuge you quote
him as having used at ahout I lie sunie time
to you In speaking of Mr. Bowen. but he
also condenimed Mr. Howen In mucti
stronger terms than those which you quote
til in' as having used, .and dwelt particularly
on the fact of what he called the treach
ery and disloyalty of Mr. Bowen to the
government and to film i.Vlr. Hay), repeat
ing again and spain that the most of the
charges Mr. Howen iimcle were really not
charges against you at all, but against
hlnihelf. (Mr. Hay), and that Bowen of
course, knew this.
Moreover. Mr. Hay used about Mr. Bowen
stronger language of condemnation than I
have ever heard him use about any other
man who had served under him. But this
was not all. Mr. Ilay then did what he
very rarely did. Hu expressed lis strong
dissent from the action I had taken in en
dorsing Mr. Taft's report as regards even
the mild censure of you which It con
tained, stating that he disagreed with both
Mr. Taft unit my self on Ihls point and
felt that you were In no way whatever
censurable, and Unit the only action that
had been called for was the dismissal of
Mr. Howen and tnu announcement of your
entire vindlcutlon. Very truly yours,
THEODOKIC ROOSEVELT.
