THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THTJRSDAT, SIAT 23, 1907. . ! TRAIN WRECKED BY FIENDISH ACT Deliberately ThrowrTFrom the Track by Ingenious Contrivance. TWO LIVES ARE SACRIFICED Over Doien Persons Seriously In J tired by Being Hurled Into Ditch When the Wrecker Pull Wire .Removing the Rail. LOS AXGELES. May 22. Private de tectives employed by the Southern Pa cific Railroad, and deputies from the Sheriff's office in this city, are Joined in the search for the men who are be lieved to have caused this morning's disastrous- wreck' on the Coast Line when five, cars of the Coast Line limited plunged over the edge of a trestle near West Qlendale, 10 miles north of this city. The list of dead is believed to be complete with the find lng of the bodies of James Victor, of whose antecedents nothing is known, and T. J. McMahon, a Santa Barbara electrician, who was crushed beneath, the baggage car while stealing a ride. Victor is believer to have met death under the same con ditions. buKhls body was not discovered until the car was partially raised from the dry bed of the Arroyo Seco. The in jured number a score.

Several other passengers received minor injuries. Physicians in charge of the dozen or more persons who sustained serious in juries tonight report that all the in jured will eventually recover. Big Reward Offered. A reward of $10,000 offered by he ' Southern Pacific Company for the con viction of the person or1 persons Te.-j sponsible for the wreck has enlisted1 ' many officers and detectives in the search for the miscreants. I As soon as possible the uninjured train men and passengers scrambled down the steep bank to the overturned cars. Through broken windows and doors, .forced with axes wielded from within and without, the frightened pas sengers emerged, while from the dark ened interiors came the groans and cries of the helpless Injured. The train, three hours later was trav eling at a rate between 36 and 40 miles an hour. The engine wheels were the first to leave the rails and the engine took to the ties, traveling nearly 100 yards before It was brought to a stand still. The tender, the diner, two par lor cars, the buffet, mail and baggage cars plunged over the edge of the tres tle, falling a distance of 16 feet; the express car' and one of the Pullmans were turned completely upside down and the others landed on their sides. All were badly crushed and splintered. Devilish Ingenuity Shown. Investigation has disclosed the fact that the wreck was caused by persons who had deliberately planned it. It was figured out in detail and every thing done to Insure the ditching of the traJn. The plotters prepared the trap with a thoroughness that proved them to be intimately familiar with railroad construction. They freed ' a rail and attached a long wire to it. ' As the train bore down upon the via duct, the wire was pulled by a lever- 1 age, displacing the rail and causing the wreck. The proof that an old railroader had planned the wreck was shown In the preparations during the night previous to the arrival of the limited. One of the evidences was that the wires were not disturbed at the place the track was opened. These is a block system in use In Greensdale and had the wreckers been green hands, they would have cut the heavy bond wires in order to give the dis placing rail free movement. In that case the bjock system would have warned the engineer and the train would have been stopped before the spot was reached. , Mechanical Skill of Wreckers. The plates connecting the outside rail of the west track first were removed, to gether with the spikes holding the entire length of the rail to be used for derail ment. The outside spikes were loosened in order that the rail would move inward freely. Ingenuity also was shown in the methods used for sweeping the heavy steel outside rail from its position and breaking the bond wires at the critical moment. The desperadoes obtained from a fence some heavy barbed wire and at tached It to the loosened rail. This was run under the tracks to the side of the roadbed and attached to the stub, end of a heavy iron pipe, which rested against the railroad tie. The pipe was then laid parallel with the tracks, and at the other end the wire again was connected and laid to the edge of the highway, 30 feet away. Pull Wire and Wreck Train. When the limited came thundering down the track at the rate of 85 miles, the fiends, crouching In the darkness at the end of the wire thrw; themselves upon the improvised lever, the . rail was pulled out of place and the crash fol lowed. Under the first coach, which re mained on the track, were found the loosened rails, with the wires securely fastened through the bolt-holes and the ends uniting In a single strand that led into the brush on the hillside. the news-reached this city that Miss Van Dyke was dead and it was pub lished here in Albany correspondence In Portland papers. The .same report evidently reached the young woman's former home in Southern Oregon, for th: news appeared simultaneously in papers of that part of the state. Now it has been learned that it was Kate Van Dyke, an older sister of Miss Edith, who died recently -n Wyoming.

WILL HID DELAY Commission Soon to Act in Harriman Merger. NO WAITING FOR COURTS Will Decide on Suit Against Merger Regardless of Proceedings to - Compel Harriman to Answer . Questions He Disputed. WASHINGTON. May 22. It is not the Intention of the Interstate Commerce Commission to ' await the result of the proceedings to compel E. H. Harriman to answer certain, inquiries that were put to him in the New York Investigation be fore taking action, on the general subject of the Investigation. In the opinion of members of the Com mission, it may be a year or more before a final decision can be reached regarding the refusal of Mr.' Harriman to answer questions. The proceedings will be in stituted in New York the latter part of this month, or the first of next month. It Is expected that, if the court upholds the Commission. Mr. Harriman will carry the case to higher courts. Should the lower courts be adverse to the Commis sion, it Is probable that It will carry the matter up, inasmuch as a right of the Commission is Involved. The case would have been brought earlier, but the attorneys of the Com mission have been engaged on other work. The arguments in the 8tandard Oil cases, which are to take place in St. Paul, will occupy the attention of Messrs. Kellogg and Severance, and they will not be able to take up the . Harriman matter until after these are finished. Without refer ence, however, to the determination of that question, the Commission will con sider the merits of the general inquiry into the Harriman lines and reach its conclusion on the facts presented. The Indications are that a determination of the case will be reached In a few weeks. NOT COMING TO HIIjIj ROADS Mrs. Stevens Contradicts Rumors of Canal-Digger's Intentions. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 22.

DEVLIN STANDS FOR What All Republicans Should Stand for Demand From Every Candidate. This ahould be a catnpnlarn of edneatloa. ver before haa therr been a loon! campaign where questions of such mitanlturie nml importance were to be acted upon by the people, or whet tt waa more nece.nary to dlacnne the prtn - efplea and pol I -! of lonl city- government. It ahould be a campaign without personalities and In which only each questions sbnll be discussed as Involve clean government, efficient public service. Improvement as expeditionsly and as thoronerbly as ' possible to meet the requirements of present growth, careful Investment for the public need of the Immediate future, iudlclous expenditure of the publla . money, and taxation that may not exceed the bounds of reason and that shall be based upon well-estnblished economic principles. For one. I favor that our arguments shall follow these lines and that we present to the people such facts as may arouse them to an appreciation of present conditions and the urgency which now exists for a con structive policy of city government and an executive force) cnpable of accomplishing results In a practical and business like way. And yet we are Republicans, and It may be well to keep In mind that this Is a partisan campaign. It has been made so by the Democracy. The letter of Chairman Thomas, ' of the Democratic Central Committee, urging Democrats to - vote their ticket, to stand by their candidates without a plan of government, without any expression of principles or : policies, without regard for personality or consideration of qualifications, and coming, ns It did, from the defeated candidate In the primary electlou, is one of the most force ful and loyal partisan arguments I have ever heard and, unless I mistake the Intelligence and party loyalty of Re publicaus, it will appeal to thera with a forcefulness that will show with telling effect on the first Monday in June. The Republican party, through Its Central Committee, has promulgated a platform to which all candidates on tho ticket have subscribed. It is a platform that sets forth) in .a clear and concise manner what la expected when Its officers are elected. It is the first policy of city govern ment ever advocated In this city. It Is the first time that any party has taken bold of the question and made a well defined statement to the people of what It proposes to do , locally in the way of building and improving our city, and, thereby assumes responsibility for the ability and faith fulness of its eandldutes, and the measure of their accom plishmeut if elected. We first favor an improved public service. Do we need Iff In our system of street cleaning nnd street repair nil that you could dclref Is onr police department as effective as you. could wish, and your lives and property so safe from the highwayman and thief that no Improve ment In possible t You have noticed with what facility the erlmlnnls, are captured and punished, and It is for yon to say If you are satisfied with results.

We favor flushing hard-surface pavements at night Instead of sweeping, which leaves a plaster of filth upon the street, which, with the first rny of sunlight or sephyr of the morning, Is converted into dust, laden with disease, and deposited in your nturkets, on your food, in your homes and your shops and stores. This improvement can be accomplished by changing the present system of ratcohaslns. It la a matter entirely under the control of the Mayor and Executive llonrd. We advocate that all necessary conduits and pipes for public service required In tbe streets shall be extended to the curb lines before hard--surfnce pavements are laid, and) . thereby the opening of street surfaces to a great extent prevented. Is this a sound business policy, and does it appeal to you as being within the functions of a city gov- ; ernmeatf 1 suggested this measure when the platform of the party wan being drafted, and I know It Is a sound business policy, within the functions of a city government, and can be enforced through the Executive Department. We advocate the placing of all wires for telephone, telegraph and electrical purposes under ground, and the removal from our streets of the forests of poles which now obstruct them and which may be a good advertisement for Oregon timber, but which can never add to tbe beauty of our city or, the convenlenca of the people. I favor Ibe municipal ownership of docks, and favor It now in order that we protect our commerce from exorbitant charges, provide better facilities and help to make Port land the biggest and busiest city on the Pacific Coast, by providing the best accommodations possible where rail roads .and steamship. meet in tbe only fresh-water harbor on the Pacific Coast. In this I am supported by the plat form of the Republican party and by the judgment of the most conservative bUMlness men of this city. I bnve been advocating the ownership of docks by tbe city for ten years, I have repeatedly set forth tbe advantages thereof by citing the examples in other cities of the world, and I, believe that the people of this city will at this election provide for acquiring dock property, which will result mora . satisfactorily than any enterprise the city can engage ia at this time. We advocate the extension of onr- present park system by the purchase -of land for playgrounds and parks and for the Improvement of connecting driveways to meet the present requirements, and so far as is consistent without an excessive burden of taxation. We advocate tbe Improvement of streets by tbe district plan, whichf is now so earnestly supported by the preaa and our commercial and civic orgnnlsntlons and which. I am glad to any 1 favored aa Chairman of the Committee on Streets of the Charter Board in 1002. The present pro- posed amendment is exactly whnt we reported favorably on . at that time and which was defeated by a very decisive vote in the Charter Board. The district plan of Improvement will lessen the cost of engineering work, the cost of adver tising nnd the liability for error, and will provide a uniform, and higher grade of improvement, will result In the mora even distribution of traffic, and will add infinitely more to the - value of the property benefited and assessed therefor than will ever result from the present methods. We demand that tbe municipal officers shall require th treet railway companies of this city to equip their earn with suitable fenders for the protection of life under the state law, and. tbnt the responsibility for the style or form of fenders and the accidents reniiltingvther.-from be not shifted from the companies and landed on the - city. Do you like that, or docs It appeal to you as the only thing to do If yon want to plnce responsibility where it belongs f 1 favor this measure. I bnve favored it ever since the stnte law was enncted, and I have frequently expressed my views thereon to members of the present .Council. We are opposed to -all perpetual franchises and the present chnrtcr prohibits the granting of them, and we believe In the repeal of those now in existence and that repeal Is possible, no matter where, or how. or by whom they were granted, because we believe that the courts will hold that it is against public policy that any person or corporation may bold forever and a day rights and privileges of great monetnry vnlue which belong by every principle of right to n community in Its corporate capacity. We believe that all municipal franchises are public rights to be granted to Individuals and corporation only upon such conditions and limitations as will insnre to the public adequate service, an Increasing revenue to the city commensurate with the value of the rights granted, with full power of regulation, control nnd revocntlom that all persons and corporations to whom municipal franchises may be granted should be held to a strict accounting for any failure to meet tbe conditions of their grant, express or Implied, or for any infringement upon the rights of the -public. We believe in Civil Service rigidly enforced that political and personal considerations should not govern in the selec tion and appointment of subordlnnte public officials, but that Intelligence, moral worth and efficiency ahould be tha conditions necessary to such public service. WE ARE OPPOSED TO GAMHUSH IN EVERY FORM, AD 4LL OTHER PIBLIC VICES, AND DEMAND THE ENFORCEMENT OF ALL LAWS AND POLICE REGULA TIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE PEACE AND DIGNITY' OF OCR CITY. IF ELECTED I MUST TAKE AN OATH TO EN FORCE 4 LI, LAWS. AND GAMBLING IS INCLUDED WITH 41, L OTHER CRIMES. THIS WILL NOT BE "AN OPEN. TOWN." IT WILL II B A CLE4N CITY, MORALLY AND OTHERWISE IF IT CAN BE MADE SO. W'e favor better quarters for the Municipal Court and a clenn, well-ventilated prison for the confinement of city offrnders, all In accord with the dignity of Our Institu tions. W'e favor the restriction of ehlld labor, a rigid and In telllgrnt Inspection by municipal officers of all mills and factories where people are employed, and of all school, houses and public or seml-puhlic places, believing that tbe same will add to the safety of life nnd be conducive to the . health, comfort and well-being of the community. These nre tbe principles nnd policies of local govern ment advocated by us, and for the carrying out of this programme for the good government and betterment of -conditions In this city the Republican pnrty pledges the , fullest endeavor of Its candidates. It Is for the people of this city to decide what they want. It Is for Republicans to say If they -prefer a Democratic administration, where every interest of the municipality shall be made an Instru ment to aid la perpetuating the rule of Democracy la City, and County, and State
