to Work for Wilson
; V
All of the through trains en route to
the Pacific coast carried extra sleepers
yesterday.' filled with delegates and
snouters who had been in attendance
upon the democratic convention at Balti
more. A big bunch came in early on the Rock
Island s Rock Mountain limited. They
bad a car to themselves and most of
them were from Utah and Colorado. Both
the Northwestern and Milwaukee No. 1,
carried extra sleepers. A good many of
the delegates a-re- yet to come, for after
the close of the convention, they scattered
through the east, returning home by easy
stages. A considerable number of them
prior to leaving Baltimore, expressed the
opinion that they would go down to Sea
Girt and call upon Candidate Wilson and
pay their respects.
All of the delegates returning yesterday
were enthusiastic over the outcome of
the convention, especially those from
California.-
Asked 1 Colonel Roosevelt would push
the organization of a third party, Mr.
Mcintosh, a democratic) leader from Call
fornia said
"Most assuredly no! There is no reason
why he should. He and Wilson stand for
practically the same things and the same
reforms. They are both working to ee-
cure the same ends, that is, to make
this a government by the people and for
the people.
"Roosevelt knows that should he go In
to the fight while he could not win, he
might take enough votes away from Wil
son to elect Taft. He Is too shrewd a
politician and too loyal a citizen to do
anything of the kind. While he probably
will not stump the country for Wilson and
Marshall, he will do all in his power to
aid and secure their election."

Across the Tracks, Block

CORNING, N. Y., July 4-At least thir
ty-four passengers were killed and fifty
injured today when an express train
crashed into the westbound Lackawanna
passenger train No. 9 two miles east of
this city.
The passenger train which runs from
New York to Buffalo had been standing
on the track a few minutes when the ex
press train, which carried no passengers,
struck it in the rear at full speed. The
two day coaches attached to the rear of
No. 9 were hurled down an embankment
and the express plunged half way
through the rear Pullman of the stand
ing train before it came to a stop.
Most of the killed were passengers In
the day coaches who were going home
to spend the Fourth. F. W. Drake of
Passaic, N. J., the Pullman conductor,
said four passengers were killed in the
Pullman.
A score of physicians soon were on the
scene and the Injured were brought to
the Corning hoslpta). '
The bodies of the dead were laid on
the top of the embankment along the
tracks and at the roadside and were cov
ered with blankets from the Pullman.
Every undertaker In Corning was called
to help care for the dead, but their
wagons were first pressed Into service t
carry the Injured to the hospital. Many
of the injured also Were taken away In
automobiles. ... : ' " '
Cause Not Ascertained.
As yet the cause of the wreck has not
been discovered. The place where It ,oc
curred was a straight stretch of track.
So far as can be ascertained the en-
glneer of the express train had no warn
lng that the passenger train was In his
way. It is believed that when he first
saw It he thought the train was stand
lngf on a parallel track.
The death list probably will run over
forty. Thirty-four bodies had been taken
from the debris three hours after the
wreck: Many of the Injured were mor
tally hurt. Among the sufferers were sev
eral babies' and -children.,
As soon as news of . the accident spread
hundreds of automobiles dashed . to., the
scene,: blocking the roadways and inter
fering' with the removal of the dead and
injured. A detail of police was sent from
this city to keep the roads open and to
keep the crowds back from the wreckage.
A special relief train from Elmira
brought physicians and nurses.
Coroner Herbert B. Smith ordered all
the bodies removed to this city and
planned to hold an Inquest before the
passengers have left the. city.
The passenger train which left New
York at 8:45 last night was heavily loaded
and was drawn by two engines. It was
running about half an hour late. Most
of the dead and Injured, it Is believed.
were New York City and New Jersey
people.
Both Trains Wrecked.
SCRANTON, Pa., July 4.-Information
received by the company says that train
No. 9 had stopped at Corning freight sta.
ion to allow a freight train ahead to take
siding when the express train smashed
Into it at almost full speed. It Is believed
by officials here that it was impossible
to get out a flagman in time to prevent
the crash, the express having entered
the block close behind the passenger
train.
Nearly all the cars In both trains were
wrecked, thrown across the tracks,
breaking down telegraph wires so that
full details are impossible at this time.

TERS, MAPULA, Mexico, July 4.-Under
cover of darkness the entire tebel army
withdrew early today from Bachlmba, a
distance of twenty-five miles north of
Mapula. which is but fifteen miles below
the city of Chihuahua, The rebels admit
their defeat, attributing It to a lack of
ammunition. The whole rebel, army will
retreat toward the American border,
abandoning the city of Chihuahua to the
federals.
The semicircular battle line of govern
ment troops at daybreak today renewed
the attack on the rebels for possession
of Bachlmba canyon, the entrance to
which, for a distance of a mile together
with several high positions, were gained
by the federals In the opening of hos
tilities yesterday. Twenty-six cannon and
sixteen machine guns distributed on the
east and west sides of the mountain pass
here opened fire on the rebels simul
taneously. The rebel artillery In comparison seemed
defective and erratic.
Losses In the first day's fighting ap
parently were great, as today's battle
field was strewn with the dead and
wounded on both sides. The rebels had.
clung tenaciously to their positions, but
the combined assaults of Infantry and
cavalry supported by the deadly fire of
the artillery had forced them to yield
strategic hills and ranges overlooking the
canyon.
The federal troops carried out orders
with mathematical precision. Conspicu
ous in the fighting besides General
Huerta as the commander-in-chief, were
his lieutenants, Generals Rabago and Tel

of President Madero.
