Review, FOUR KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK PORTLAND COTTAGE GROVS LOCAL IN DITCH Engineer Nichols and Fireman Bolter Rilled Two Tramps are Dead and Another Fatally Hart Locomotive Struck a Ball EUGENE, Or., Aug. 24. Jack Nichols, one of the oldest nml most trustworthy engineers of the Sjnith ern 1'acilic, his fireman, Frank Hol ler, and three unknown tramps, who were beating their way. are dead as the result of the wreck about 9:2". o'clock last night of the southbound Cottage Grove-Portland local pas senger train. No. 17, three miles north of this city. Several passengers were injured, but none fatally. The wreck whb caused by a large bull laying directly in the track. Charles L. M Inkier was the conductor in charge of the train. While the train was travelling to ward Eugene at Us usual speed, the locomotive was suddenly ditched, turning a complete somersault. The mail car lurched forward and rested on top of the tender, while the re maining coaches were derailed and jolted over the ties for a number of yards, to the accompaniment of crashing glass, rending wood and steel. Lying beside the track, on the side opposite the train, was the mute evidence of the cause of the wreck a large, red bull, his head and neck Bevered, Finding of the Victims. Underneath the huge boiler nf the locomotive was found the lifeless body of Fireman Bolter. One tramp was taken piecemeal from the wreck age, while two others were found ly ing on their backs, where they had been thrown by the impact of the locomotive striking the bull. One of these was killed outright, while the other was so badly injured that he expired a few hours later. Engineer Nichols was found pin loned down near his throttle, a cab seat on his back. He was horribly scalded by escaping steam, but still alive. In an effort to free him res cuers stezed Nichols by the arm and cooked flesh came away in their hands. .Nichols was finally liberated, however, and hurried In an automo bile, together with seven of the in jured, to Eugene. Nichols was plac ed In the Eugene hospital, where after five hours of intense suffering, he died at 2:30 o'clock this morn ing. Xicliols Acted Promptly. Before his death, Nichols slated . . .

An examination of the locomotive appliances, however, revealed the fact that Nichols hail throwu back the reverse lever to the last notch and set the air brakes hard. l inlil r Puts Out Fire. A thoughtful act of Conductor i Minkler prevented fire from adding! to the horror of the wreck, lmine-j diately after the crash occurred, i Minkler made a careful examination of the coaches and detected flames issuing from beneath the wreckage. As quickly as possible, Minkler pro cured a bucket of water from a drinking tank and quenched the flames. Had the fire not been dis covered when it was it might have got beyond a controlling stage and burned a number of people to death. Kugciic Aids (Quickly. Dr. 1"). A. Paine, the Southern Pa cific Company's physician, and a number of other doctors of this city, were at the scene of the wreck short ly after It occurred and administered to the injured. Hundreds of people gathered there also, going from this city In automobiles, carriages and on a special train. Kails and ties were torn up for a distance of 75 feet and the engine and tender were converted into a veritable pile of (list or ted junk. Wrecking trains arrived on the scene from Roseburg and Portland, and at 7:110 o'clock this morning the track was cleared and repaired. Had not the combined baggage, and mail car been stripped of its trucks, bringing it to an abrupt stop and blocking (be rear coaches, they would have plung ed down the abutting embankment, causing greater loss of life. "Tramps" Identified. Later The bodies of the supposed tramps killed in the wreck have been identified in itay Swnriz, of Junction City, and George Bailey, a restaurant proprietor of Eugene. The third tramp reported dead is still alive, although his recovery 1 doubtful. The Injured. While all of the passengers were more or less shaken up, a few re ceived painful injuri i.

Engineer Nichols and Fireman Holier formerly ran out of Roselmrg and were weir known here. Had Nichols lived until next Wednesday he would have completed exatly ' years of service as an engineer In the employ of the Southern Pacific. He first entered the service of the com pany in 1S82, however, working as a fireman for four years before being promoted to handle a throttle. He was an Englishman by birth and serv ed in the British navy before com ing to the Fnited States. NMmls first ran on the West Side division of the Southern Pacific between Port- laud and Corvallis. Ten years ago he was assigned to a run between Port laud and this city and held it steadily until two years ago, when he was transferred to the Cottage Grove local. Mr. Nichcols leaves a widow in Portland. Fireman Bolter is best remember ed here through his marriage to a former Roseburg girl. Miss Dora WM klns, who survives him. He had been working for the Southern Pa cific as fireman for the past eight years, during most of which time he ran out of this city. Besides his wife, there survives him his parents. Mr. and Mrs. V. J. Bolter, of Brooks, Marion county; a sister, Mrs. Chas. Decker, of San Francisco; and four brothers, all of whom are engaged In railroad work. One of the brothers is Engineer George Bolter, of this city; the others are Ralph and Al fred Bolter, of Portland, and Ernest Bolter, of San Francisco. George Bolter has been camping at Rock Creek, 35, miles east of this city. Word of his brother's tragic death vns sent to him last midnight and 1. was expected that he would return to Roseburg this afternoon In time to catch the northbound flyer to Eugene. Other Wrecks Recalled. "Last night is not the first time a lazy bull has wrecked a Southern Pacific train, although this Is the worst accident on that account yet recorded. Gedtge Boiler, while a fireman under Engineer Emmett But ler, was on n locomotive that was de railed by striking a bull near Wood ville, Jackson county, a few yeart ago. 1 he locomotive jolted along on the ties for a distance of 1 1 0 f feet, but fortunately did not fnl over. In 1S!M) a bull derailed and wrecked a locomotive near Halsey, Unn county, killing Fireman Ran som and badly injuring Engineer McFadden. After a lay-off of sev eral months, McFadden recovered and resumed work just in time to get killed in the Lake Lahish horror. foi'u iuilihngs hi knei).

KTHICfl FOIl LAWYKItS. Xutiomil Bar Association to Improve Standard (if Profession. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 24 Legal lights of tho laud are today con gregating in Seattle for the annual :onveutiou of the Nutloual Bur Asso ciation, which begins tomorrow. Some of the most distinguished law yers of the country are already here and every train brings additional delegates, who are given a cordial reception by the attorneys of Seattle and Washington. Despite the dis- ance of Seattle from the center of lopulation, it Is likely that the nt :eudauce will be quite up to the i sua I standard. One of the most important feat ures of the convent ton will be the resenlattou of the final report of .he committee on rules of conduct or lawyers, which will include a omplete code of ethics to govern the legal profession in its dealings with clients and Its duties to the public. The proposed canon of profession-1 ;il ethics maintains that a lawyer J nay defend a client whom he knows ; o be guilty only to the extent of be ing sure that the defendant is ac- jorded all of his rights under the Inw. Advertising Is prohibited, and the instigation or stirring up of liti gation Is roundly denounced. One of (he most striking clauses of the canon declares that "when a law yer renders service to any client, cor porate or individual, or to any cause. Ml or political, that Involves disloy alty to the law, he merits stern con demnation." The report Is signed by Alton B. Parker, former chief judge of the New York stale court of appeals; Justice Brewer, of the supreme court of the United States; Judge Thomas (1, Jones, of the United States court in Alabama; J. M. Dickinson, presi dent of the American Bar Associa tion; (Jeorge II. Peck and William W irt Howe, former presidents of the association, and Francis Lynde Stet son, president of the New York Bar Association. The report is a result of a three days' session of the committee held in Washington. In twenty-seven states of the un ion there are codes of ethics more or less complete, which exist as a result either of codification by statutory en actments of Borne of the "duties" of lawyers or of the action of bar asso ciations therein in adopting canons of professional ethics. For Home years past members of the bar associations have advocated a movement which would culminate In an authoritatively declared standard of professional conduct, which will not only serve as a guide to the youthful practitioner, but will place the profevMlon before the public in lis true light and thereby free It from public criticism and censure, which have at times been bestowed iiwn It as a result of the misconduct of un worthy men who have found their way Into 1 1 h ranks.

Now It Is United States Senator Levi Ankeny who is listed by Col lier's Weekly as a "Senate Undesir able." That periodical is attacking the senator from Washington even more bitterly than it did United Slutes Senator Charles W. Fulton, of Oregon. Collier's sums up Ankeny of W ashlngtou ns "a seunte uudeslr- able who is unfit, personally and po- lltfcalty, to represent his state, and whose main strength Is his bank ac count." The political career of An keny Is gone over by C. P. Connolly, the muck-raker, and repeated charges are made of Ankeny'a use of money for vote-getting and corrup tion of legislatures and county con ventions. His personal eccentricities are pointed out and the only good word said in his favor Is that he had many of the good qualities of the early pioneers, was a good neighbor and If anyone in the vicinity was 111, the Ankenys would call dally or Bit up all night. On Vote Prices. B. C. Van llouteu, of Siwkane, was Ankeny's second manager, nnd, says the article, Van Houten went about organizing the state on a cash basis, final payment contingent on the delivery of the votes In the legis lature of 1895. The Ankeny price for votes was $ 1 000 In the lower house and $lf00 In the upper house. Ankeny was beaten by the trickery of Van Houten. The article next re lates n deal which was framed up In Portland nnd which was attended by railroad representatives, lobbyists and slate senators, (he purpose of which was to kill any dangerous rnll' road legislation In return for sup port of Ankeny. "Ankeny spent money reckleHHly," savs the article. The railroads con tributed $114,000 for the joint pur pose of electing Ankeny and prevent ing railroad legislation." Arthur F. Slatter. who subsequent ly was appointed private secretary to t h e secret ary of the t reasu r y , and later became assistant secretary of the treasury, was Ankeny's private secretary, and Is now 1i1b constant at tendant. Connoly charges that An keny made n deal with his fellow Washington senator, Foster, by which Mrs. Stutter was appointed messenger for the committee on geo logical survey, whllo Ankeny appoint ed Foster's brother as messenger on his own committee. Mrs. Stutter never performed any services, al though one" report to the secretary to the sennte shows she received $ 1 . f0 and the same report discloses that Nesmlth Ankeny, son of the sen ator, who was never nearer tho na tional capitnl than his Cow Creek ranch, In the state of Washington, was paid $010 ns a senalo "folder," Charles W. Sweeny's leap Into pol itics and his ambition to be a sen ator are also touched on In the ar ticle In so far as they are connected with Ankeny's political career. Sweeny Is referred to as "a Spokane millionaire of unsavory reputation." It also slates that the federal court of appeals at San Francisco not long iil'ii wrote an opinion In which Sweeny was characterized as a "swindling part ner, guilty of fraud, grosser than which it is difficult to conceive." Aside from charging him with us ing money lavishly to buy votes, that he corrupted Hie politics of the stale of Washington, that he Ih personally unfit to serve as a senator and thai he made his money by forcloslng mortgages. C. P. Connolly, In Col lier's, evidently thinks United States Senator Levi Ankeny Is all right. "Ankeny should be beaten," de clares the paper. "He acts on the theory that every man has his price.
