JUAFJ2Z. Feb. 7.-Gravest fears that
the six American railroad men and
thirty-five passengers on the Mexico &
Northwestern train which ran Into tho
burning Cumbro tunnel last Wednesday
have perished, were expressed by rail
road men here this afternoon.
Two Mexicans who left the train at
Cumbro say tho passenger was nbt held
up, but ran Into the tunnel Innocent of
tho danger. The fact that none of the
crew or paf$ngers have been seen since,
although four days have elapsed, Is re-
garded as the saddest evidence of their
fate for which the bandit leader, Maximo
Castillo, whp failed to leave warning
that he had set a freight train on fire
In the tunnel, Is regarded as responsible.
Thcro were six Americans on the passenger-train
and two American conductors
and two American engineers on the
freight which was a double header, and
was set on fire to destroy the tunnel. A
number of Mexican trainmen also are
missing.
The flames In the tunnel prevented In
vestigation yesterday but F. C. Clark
of the railroad, Dr. F. C. Hurr and four
assistants left Madera again this morn
ing to visit the scene and a definite re
port is hoped for by night.

NEWARK MYSTERY SOLYED

Police Say Mrs. Manning Was Killed
by Miss Herdman.
MURDER IS MOST WANTON ONE
Girl Infntnnte.i vlth Wonisn'n llnn
bnnil Calls on Her and Shootn Her
T Trice In Presence of Her
Mother and Sister.
NEW'AItK, X. J., Feb. 7.-Hzel Herd
man, a girl of 20, tnfntuuted with Charles
F, Sinning, shot nnd killed Mrs. Harriet
Manning In her homo here last night.
Thin vrb tho announcement mado by the
Now York pollco this afternoon. The
murderess fled after firing, with dollbcr
nto coolness, two shots at her victim. In
tho presence of Mrs. Manning's mother,
sister and nlcco.
The girl died In tho Mountain Side
hospital at Montilalr. N. J., of poison
taken with suicidal intention.
Learning that a young woman had
been taken to the Institution tho police
seized on It as a clue to the mysterious
shooting of 'Mrs. Manning, accosting Miss
Herdman, accused her of the crime.
Then, according to the police, she con
fessed, saying she was In lovo with
Manning and hnd killed his wife because
the wife had failed to get a divorce is"
promised.
Mlsn Herdman was Uie unnamed woman
detnlncd by tho police and questioned last
night. She was released this morning.
Mrs. Manning's husband, Charles F.
Manning, a garage manager, from whom
she had been separated for two years,
and a woman whose Identity Is not re
vealed, after having been held by the
police all night and closely questioned,
were released today. Subsequently tho
pollco detained an Italian woman, who
in dress and build seemed to answer the
description of tho murderess as given by
trs. Manning's relatives. Jacob VAno, who
formerly boarded with 'the family, also
was brought to Jicadquarters.
Manning himself brought the girl to
the hospital. Seeing that her condition
was critical he went In search of her
mother. 1
Mlsa' Herdman had been suspected of
tho crime, but thorough questioning at
that timo failed to sustain any suspicion
that sho was responsible 'for tho shoot
ing. Her home was on tho Pompton turn
pike in Essex county.
Sho was the daughter of Arthur J.
Herdman, a hotel proprietor. The father
said this afternoon that he had opposed
his daughter's association with Manning,
but that notwithstanding, the two had
been going togethor for years.
McPherson Signs
Appeal in Missouri
Railroad Rate Case
KANSAS CITT, Feb. 7.-Judge Smith
.McPherson today signed the railroads'
appeal In the Mlsspqri 2-cent passenger
and maximum freight rate cases. This
action, according to counsel for the rail
roads, leaves It for' tho United States, su
preme court to determine- whether Issues
Involved In the Missouri rate coses may
properly come before that tribunal for
review. The United States supreme court
In a decision last summer upheld the
constitutionality .of tho Missouri railroad
rate laws.
The present appeal on behalf of thir
teen railroads Is from Judge McPher
son's decision of yesterday holding he
had no power to retain Jurisdiction of
suits of passengors and shippers against
the railways to recover alleged over
charges estimated at 124,000,000.
Yesterday's decision waa iri tho form
of a decree entering a mandato of the
United States supreme court upholding
the laws as constitutional and dissolving
an injunction granted the railways in
1200 against tho enforcement of the laws.
The railways seek a supreme court or
der compelling Judge McPherson to take
Jurisdiction of the claims of passengers
and shippers who paid the higher rnto
during the life of the injunction, the
stato meanwhile maintaining that such
cases can properly be heard only In
state courts. 1

Wireless Explosion
Theory is Absurd
LONDON. Feb. 7. "It Is absurd." was
the comment today of Prof. William
Henry Kccles of University college, an
eminent- radio oxpert. when shown the
suggestion mado by a Paris engraver, M.
Duroquolr, "tbat the explosion on board
the .steamship Volturno, the French bat
aleshlp Llberte and In the Universal col
liery near Cardiff were duo to wireless
waves.
"I wish it were true," Prof. Hccle's
added. "It would mean a tremendous in
crease in the power and usefulness of
wireless waves If wo could obtain such re
sults. As It is, wireless waves aro only
sufficient In strength to move tho most
delicate Instruments. They have not
nearly enough energy to enable us to
