A broken rail is said to have caused the accident Vhe train had made Its usual two-minute stop st Rochester and in gath ering momentum for Its run eastward it had attained a speed of about twenty-five miles an hour when the break carne. The train consisted of six Pullman coaches and the three that were hurled from the tracks and turned on their sides constituted the last half of the train. The third car in the train was not ditched, although Its trucks were broken. It was the next three In line that suffered the brunt of the shock. All the sleeping passengers were thrown from their berths, but no one was seriously Injured. Scramble Throngh Windows. Men and women scrambled through win dows and doors with no thought of clothing other than that which they wore when they turned in for the night. Many of the raa sengers complained of bad bruises and Jolts. A wrecking crew was at the scene of the accident In a short time, the passengers occupied the undamaged coaches and the tracks were cleared. Among the passengers slightly are the following: H.

OKLEANS, Nov. 12.-As a result of the collision which yesterday cost eight Uvea and the serious Win mil n U- e t m of pen on at Little Woods station, on the New Orleans & Northeastern railroad, two men huve already been arrested and thor ough' investigation Is being made into the wreck, as well as the delay in sending a relief train from New Orleans. Those arrested are Wayne A. Blackburn and A. B. Keys, engineer and conductor respectively, ot tho Great Northern express, which telescoped the New Orleans & North eastern local train. They were released early today under $10,000 ball. It was an nounced that the matter of whether the Great Northern crew or the Northeastern crew was responsible was In doubt, but that Keya' and Blackburn's connection with the train which did the damuge required their arrest. It was not known until late last night exactly how many persons had been killed or the extent of other Injuries, and even today there was doubt as to whether all of the bodies had been found. An investigation completed this morning appears to bear out the statement of rail road officials last night that eight were killed and twenty-three injured.

U-A terrific ex plosion in the glazing house of the Kxcel sior Springs Powder company at Dodson, ten miles south of Kansas City, this morn ing, caused considerable property damage and resulted In the death of one man and the Injury of thirty-five others. With the exception of one person, none of the In jured was seriously hurt. The dead: HERMAN KIJNB. engineer In glating house. (Seriously hurt: Mrs. J. B. McOonough. Fort Scott, Kan., wife of Kansas City Southern solicitor; in juries Internal. A Kansas City Southern passenger train, Inbound for Kansaa City, was standing on the tracks two blocks distant from the powder works when the explosion occurred. The windows of tho coaches were blown In and It was In this manner that aoms persona were hurt. The Injuries, however, wtlti the exception of those sustained by Mrs. McUonough. consisted of cuts and bruises.- The train remained upright and later. carried the Injured to Kansas City.

DUTY ON WINE AND SPIRITS (Continued 'from First Page.) of Information and which was prepared under the direction of the clerk of the committee on ways and means. The presi dent's attltudo oh the subject of revision is well known arid it Is expected that he will convey to the committee on ways and means some expression of his views on the change proposed for further protection and for continuing the ' policies advocated by the present administration, and provided for In the pure food and drug act. The regulation of the Importation of olive Ml Is one of the most Important subjects which tho committee will have to consider, as a result of the consideration of chem icals, oils and paints. About 6,000,000 gal lons of olive oil were Imported Into this country In 1907, ot which over one-third was admitted free of duty as olive oil fit only for manufacturing purposes. This latter oil. which ia used for lubri cating, Illuminating, woolen dressing and manufacture of soap, Is often difficult to distinguish from the product used for food and medicine. This difficulty has been the cause of a large amount of litigation and has shown that the prescribed tests by which the durability of the oil is to be determined as unsatisfactory. It has been proven. In a case before the board of gen eral appraisers. In which Dr. Wiley of the Department 'of Agriculture testified, that certain oil held to be free, of duty, as fit only for manufacturing purposes, was used for eating by a certain class of foreigners. To overcome this difficulty It Is proposed to change the requirements for the free entry of olivo oil, . so that -It. must be rendered unfit for use as food "by such means as shall be satisfactory to the secre tary of the treasury and under regulations to be prescribed by him.:'. . M. B. Bnevlley of NeW:York, representing Importers and consumers of olive oil, in speaking before the .committee with regard to the proposed cbange to the laws at yes terday's hearing, Safi - , :"Thls' would rcqulriC'denaturlng, which might be suitable for some, but . not . for others. Castile soap 1 one of tha principal articles of manufacture tin this country In which olive oil Is required. ; This soap, being unscented, would no be marketable as castlle soap If given an odor, as would be necessary in denaturing. I would suggest that a provision be made to have olive oil admitted when it is shown that it is used for manufacturing purposes." The committee will gather further In formation on the subject before determin ing what changes In the present law It wlli recommend. Tho Imports of olive oil rep' resent a value of over $4,000,000.

Omaha shippers are disturbed over what Is termed the sudden enforcement by the railroads of a provision regarding ship ments by Rule 27 of the Western classifica tion.' While the attitude of the shippers toward the railroads Is not such that they will burn down any freight yards, yet It is certain they will protest vigorously to the Nebraska Railway commission over tho matter. The situation ia this: All pieces of freight shipped In less than carload lots are re quired by rule of the roads to have the full name of the consignee and destination plainly marked on each separate and par ticular piece of freight. The rule was promulgated for November 1. Now, the Bhlppera have contended that the require ment of the full name will work in many cases an unnecessary hardship and vexa tion, but they were overruled by the west em classification committee. One angry shipper wished to know why "the roads are acting so arbitrarily In the matter. The order was to take effect the first of November, but eleven or twelve days have gone by without such action, and suddenly, and It seems to me arbi trarily, It is put Into effect The rule Is a big nuisance, anyhow, and If not deliber ately Intended to harass shippers, will do so at any rate." Fall Name the Rob. ".The part of the rule requiring the full PAme, Is the rub, ; A, , shipment to a firm, say at. Hastings, . called Oppenhelmer A BchwartzenBteln " must be written out in full on one and every piece of freight. Not only this, but it the word "company" be longs in the name It must also be added. Consignments to some Greek business men will require strenuous activity In shipping departments If the rule stands. The ship pers would like to abbreviate the last name of a big firm name to the initial at least and ship, for Instance, to "Oppenhelmer & 8." at Hastings. From the standpoint of the shlp-per there Is thls much hope In the situation. Before any such rule Is effective It must be ap proved by the Nebraska Railway commis sion. This applies, of course, only to Intra state shipments and not to interstate con signments. Another point complained of by the fhlppers Is that -there Is a penalty at tached to failure to mark goods acco ding to the letter of the rule and they aver that this penalty is excessive and harsh. I se of Initials Mot Bad. "Tho subject was on the docket at the last meeting of the Western Classification committee, but not in just the same shape, for there was no penalty clause and the discussion turned solely over the question of the full name and Initials," says Com missioner Guild of the Commercial club. "We contended that the use of Initials could not be attacked Justly because it had not been shown that this was the cause of any trouble or confusion of ship ments and that no such confusion waa likely to arise in the future, certainly not with a freight agent at the receiving end, of reasonable Intelligence. "The rule was to go Into effect November 1, but fur some reason has not been enforced until now. It srrPolflcally requires the full name of the consignee and unless freight weighing Inspectors are given some lee way in the exercise of their Judgment a liardshlp will be worked on Omaha ship pers because of the ninny combinations of long firm names to whom they ship. "The Nebraska Slate commission will have to pass on the matter, but no date has been set for the hearing. In the mean time there Is no way of evading or avoid ing the rule. Same aa Stencil Hule. "The rule is tilie same as the old one re garding the effacing old marks or itenclls, but carriers have found that the cloth-lined tags are not so desirable as those of paper and Inspectors have therefore been In structed to make an exception in this par tluclar and to accept substantial paper tags with a metal eyelet I understand from agents of the roads that where consign ments are being found defective in marking they are notifying the shipper and giving him a chance to remedy this Instead ot ac cepting the shipment at once and adding the penalty In the charges. I have made inquiry at other Missouri river points and find the rule being enforced there. It may be added in this connection that although no demands for exception to the rule re quiring every single piece of freight to be marked, have yet been made, yet it la ex pected that some highly reasonable re quests of this nature will be. Brick Is now one of these exceptions, although the contrary erroneous view la widely held." Woman tiaras to Orata. PIERRE, 8. D., Nov. 11 (Special Tele gram.)

LOCAL TRAINS GREATER RISK Cross-Examination of Vice President of 'Frisco Line Shows Owner ship Lies with Ilock Island Company. KANSAS CITY. Nov. 12.-C. R. Gray, sec ond vice president of the St. Louis & Bin Francisco railroad, finished his direct tes timony In the Missouri rate case hearing this morning and F. W. Uhmann began tho cross-examining for the state. Mr. Gray Is the third" witness to bo examined In as many days, the testimony of a single rotd, tho St. Louis & San Francisco, not having yet been completed. "I have never felt like I could more than approximate the difference in the cost of state and interstate passenger traffic, but in the case of tho 'Frisco in Missouri, with which I am ftmillar, it Is between 20 and 30 per cent, according to circumstances." said Mr. Gray. Among the reasons he gav, for tho difference was the greater haxard of life, declaring statistics showed greater loss of life in railroad accidents at the stops and that the local '-alns, therefore, were run at the greater risk. On cross-examination the first question asked by the state was whether or not the flock Island owned the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, to which Mr. Gray re plied it owned a majority of stock. After a discussion among the attorneys It devel oped there were threo Rock Island com panies, namely, the Chicago, Rock Island Railroad company of Iowa, the Chicago, Rock Island & Paclflo Railway company of Illinois, and Iowa, and the Rock Island company of New Jersey. It was the latter, said Mr. Gray, that controlled the "Frisco. Winter blasts, causing pneumonia, pleurisy and consumption will soon be here.
