TEJITZrZ HATTTE, Ind.. 30. Twcnty-
two charred and mutilated bodies have
fcwn taken from smoldering ruins of
paR-.enRor train No. 3. on the Cleveland,
Cincinnati. " Chfcano- A St. TouIa (Bfsr
Four), which, was destroye by the ex-
plosion of a carload of powder as It
paPRed a freig-ht train at Sandford, nine
miles west of here last nipht- The num
r of injured will reach at least 36.
The entire train was blown from the
track, the coaches demolished, and the
engine hurled 0 eet. The passengers
either were blown to pieces, cremated or
rnscucd in a more or less injured con-
3ition.
The injured, some of whom are fatally
Jiurt, lire at the hospitals in Terre Haute
and Farts. Til., and at Sandford.
The full extent of the disaster was
revealed at daylight, but the death list
will not be complete until workmen have
finished el earing the debris away.
Theories as to Explosion.
According to trainmen of the freight,
the powder was exploded by the con
cussion made by the pansenpor train,
which was slowing down for the station
at Slindford. Another theory is that
gas exploding: from an oil pipeline near
by, entered the powder car and a spark
from the paelns engine iRnited the gran.
Others express the belief that the disas
ter was due to a tramp or an intoxicated
man firing a shot Into the ear.
The ears were smashed to pieces by
t lie force of the explosion. Hue pieces
of iron were found hundreds of feet away
from the track, The tank of the engine
was hurled nearly 100 feet from the
trick. Two passenger coaches and one
liiiBKaffe coach were consumed by Are.
The freight train, in which was the car
of powder was demolished. Sanford
was badly shocked. Windows were
fluttered. dishes and? furniture broken
and doors torn from their hinges.
. Work of Resone Parties.
The nifrht was dark, and heavy rains
had rendered the streets of Sandford
almost impassable. As the passenger
fngina went by the powder car standing
on an adjoining- track, the explosion
came without warning:. The entire train
was blown from the tracks and crashed
Into thft mud a mass of debris, pinning
under it 40 human beings. Pi re broke
out. and before the citizens who rushftd
to the rescue could axri ve, many per-
eons were burned.
In the darkness, by the light of the
fiurninjr coaches, the people of Sandford
did their bet for the wtrlcken. Cries
- of the injured and the crackling of the
flames, together with the odor of burn
; ing human flash, greeted the rescuers,
who worked frantically but soon were
t forced back by the terrible heat,
j Among the first rescued was !. F.

tenance of way of the Big Four railroad.

brulshed. He was carried to the home

Rose was brought in painfully bruised,
'but assisted in the care of her husband
until she collapsed.
Prag Out Charred Remain.
Others were rescued as the flames ad
vanced. As men threw their strength to
the work of disentangling- human forms
from the wreckage, the women of Sand
ford cared for the injured. When the
fire drove the rescuers away they waited
till the Are died down and then started
to drag out the charred bodies. Men
searched nearby fields and found pieces
of human flesh and wearing apparel.
There was no efficient water supply
1 o fight the flames, and the bitter cold
added, to the suffering. Four badly mini-
la tod bodies were found In the woods
several hundred feet from the tracks.
One thousand feet of the track was
torn up and a great hole shown where
the powder car stood. This car was

PITTS DEAD 15, INJURED 35
Superintendent Houghton Makes
Report Concerning Disaster.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Jan. 20. General
Superintendent ii. K. Houghton, of the
Big Four Railroad, tonight gave a state
ment to the Associated Press regarding
the disaster at Sandford last nij?ht.
According- to reports received by the
superintendent, 15 are dead and 35 in-
jured. Mr. Houghton declared he did not
have the least Idea as to the cause of the
explosion.
"The number of dead," said Mr. Hough
ton, "according to offxial reports is 15.
Of these, nine have been recovered and
six more are known to be dead. There
are six Injured In the hospital at Terre
Haute, Ind. ; 25 at Paris, 111., and prob-
ably lour or five in residences at Bano-
ford. Ind.
"Of the passenger train crew, the ex
press messenger. baKfrageman and brake-
mtin were killed.. The engineer and fire
man are living, but badly injured. Con-
ductor Thomas Is fatally hurt.
"The entire train of No. 3. consisting
of an engine, tender, combination mail
and baggage car, smoking car and one
coach were destroyed by the explosion
and tire which followed soon afterward.
Of the freight train containing- the pow
der car, eight cars were destroyed. One
thoupand feet of the roadbed was torn up
by the explosion, and considerable dam-
aft done to telegraph and telephone
wires. The car containing: the powder
was shipped from Concord Junction,
Mass.. consigned to East Alton, 11L, and
contained 500 kegs of powder?
"1 have not the least ida what caused
the explosion. It could not have been
caused from the passenger train, as the
train was moving slowly, possibly not
over JO or 35 miles an hour."
Mr. clousrlitun says It would be a hard
matter to estimate the number of people
on the train, as it did local work. He
thought the train contained 60 to SO people
when It left Terre Haute.

President's Stand in Browns-
ville Affair to Be In- -
dorsed by Senate.
ARRANGED BY CONFERENCE
Desire to Sidetrack Blackburn
Amendment to Foniker Resolu
tion Brings About Aproe-
ment on Vel QuesMon.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. SO Several con
ferences ot Republican Senators were
held today to onsidr the Blackburn
amendment to the Foraker resolution,
relative to the President's dl-charjt of
the negro troops. - President Roosevelt
spent several hours with Senator Lodge
In the afternoon and several Republican
Senators were called In to discuss the
Brownsville affair with -the view of reach
ing an agreement as to what action is
to be taken In the Senate tomorrow.
The Associated Press vu authorita
tively informed tonierht that a decision
was reached to draft a resolution along;
the lines of the original Lodge resolution,
which will meet the approval of Mr.
Blackburn. This resolution will be Intro-,
duced by a Republican and will be sup-'
ported by both Republican and Demo
cratic Senators' who take the position
that "the Senate had no legal right to
question the action of the President.'
Later a number of Republican Senators
met at Senator Knox'8 home to discuss
some plan whereby a compromise could
be reached in order that the Blackburn
amendment mifgrht not be brought to a
Vote.
Senator Foraker took no part In any of
the conferences, and declared that he
would vote against the Blackburn amend
ment If the question is brought before
the Senate tomorrow. The Ohio Senator
said that he really did not care whether
the resolution was adopted or voted down.
- "All that I care for," he said, "is an
investigation of the whole affair, in order
that the real facts may be laid berore
the Senate."
Senators Lodn. Knox. Hansbrouch,
Crane and A.Idrit-h are said to have taken
part In the conference which resulted in
the decision to Introduce a compromise
resolution for the Blackburn amendment
tomorrow.
The President flnaJly agreed to the plan
for a compromise resolution which will
indorse his action tin dismissing the
troops, to be introduced by a Republican.
Ko decision has been reached as to which
Senator will Introduce it, but It was inti
mated tonight that the resolution would
probably be offered by either Senator
Knox or Senator Hansbroturh.
The President, it is stated, insisted that
this resolution must meet the approval of
Senator Blackburn and the Democratic
Senators who have sided with Mr. Roose
velt in the controversy. After the con
ference at Mr. ixjdge s home an the after-
noon, the President and Senator Lodge
went out horseback riding and were gone
two hours. Senator Lodge admitted that
the Brownsville affair was discussed, at
this time.
TILLMAN" TO MAKE REPLY
South Carolina Senator Will Answer
Senator Spooner Today.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The Black
burn amendment to the Foraker resolu
tion relative to the President's discharge
of negro troops will hold the principal
place on the. Senatorial programme for
the present week. The subject will come
up Monday, if not interfered with by
the salary increase amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill, and will con
tinue to receive attention until a general
agreement for an adjustment of the mat
ter can be arrived at.
The Republican leaders are making
strenuous efforts to secure unanimous
action by Republican Senators In support
of a motion to table the Blackburn
amendment, but confess that the result
is not entirely sol iRfactory. and it is gen
erally admitted that if one or two Sena
tors break' over the lines it will he diffi
cult to prevent a number of the others
from seceding.
Some of the staunchest of the Presi
dents supporters now predict that In case
all the Republican Senators cannot be
held in opposition to the Blackburn
amendment the Republican Senators
themselves will take up the amendment
and put it through. There is, however,
no decision upon such a course, nor Is
there likely to be any conclusion on that
subject for a few days to come. Senators
generally confess the situation to be em
barrassing, but while they will be pleased
to have It disposed of they do not con
sider the prospect good for early action.
Ici-iii m on Lodge's -Action .
Much will depend upon a statement
which Senator Tjodge is expected to make
on Monday. The )fassachusctts Senator
ws the drat to offer n. provision declar
inK th Presidential prerogative in the
discharge of soldiers as a part of his
privilege as Commander-in-Chief of the
Army. - and aside from his well-known
convictions on that subject, the Tact of
his intimacy with the President would
Insure a large followine if he should de-
cide to antagonize, the Blackburn amend
ment an a. matter of party iolicy.
If. on the other hand, he should an-
nounce His adherence to the principle re-
gardless of the authorship of the declara
tion, there can be no doubt that he would
carry with him a sufficient number of
Senators to insure the passage of the
Blackburn amendment. The Immediate
effort On the part of the Republicans
will be to find some compromise pro
vision, and unless they succeed it is prob-
able that a vote will be postponed unless
unanimous opposition to the Blackburn
amendment can be secured.
The Brownsville subject will be dis
cussed on Monday by Senator Tillman.
who will reply to Senator Spooner's crltl-
clsra of himself.
Probahly the first business of the Smate
this week will be concurrence In. the ac
tion of the( House in voting an increase
of the salaries of Senators and Repre
sentatives and also of the Vice-President.
the Speaker and members or the Cabinet.
There Is little opposition to the amend-
mcnt.
Discuss Smoot Tuesday.
Tuesday will he partly devoted bv the
Senate to listening to a speech of Senator
Sutherland jn opposition to the resolution
for the expulsion of his colleague. Senator
Smoot: Wednesday to a Bpcech by Sena
tor Beveridge in support of his child labor
bill, and later in the week Senator Carter
will probably call up his resolution re-
gardlns the public lands for an explana
tion of his views on that subject.
When the Smoot resolution Is taken
up Senator Burrows, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections.
will ask the Senate to name a day for
takinjr a vote on that resolution. TTe
will fix a day sufficiently distant to give
CQMPRUMlSr"
aii Senators mJ flealr t0 1)eartl
on the subject a chance to Speak.
The House will Elve the major portion
ot Its -time this weelc to the consideration
of appropriation bills.
.Consideration of the shin subsidy bill
by the House will be postponed until the

It Is hoped by the friends of the 1m-

it so there -will probably- be an effort in
both houses to have the report accepted
during the week.

Several years ago when a fight occurred
in Chicago one of the combatants re

first physician to reach the apparently
doomed man was Dr. Daniel H. Williams,
a negro practitioner, who succeeded In
sewing up the man's heart. This was the

The plans for the handsome building

the Jamestown Exposition next Summer
were drawn by W. Sydney Pittman, a
negro architect, who started In to learn
the trade of wheelwright at Tuskegee.
His unusual ability in making accurate
estimates of the cost of production at
tracted the attention of his teachers, who
advised him to begin the study ot archi
tectural drawing. He drew the design
for the Collls P. Huntington memorial

The most successful inventor of the
negro race Is Hald to be- Granville T.
Wood, an electrician, who lias patented
35 different mechanical devices. These
include a steam boiler furnace, four kinds
of electrical apparatus, four electric rail
way improvements, two electrical brakes
and a telephone system. The latter is
used by the Bell Telephone Company,
and one of his electrical devices is In
use on the elevated railway in New York.
The champion lightweight prizefighter of

Although Gans has been In the fistic

of his battles by knockouts and gaining
one on a foul. His last victory was at

Socialist Labor Demonstra-
tion in Paris Falls Flat.
BIG PARADE IS A FAILURE
Workmen Sought to Arouse Public
Sympathy to Compel Enforce
ment Weekly Rest Iaw. but
Soldiers Slock Streets.
PARIS, Jan. 20. Firm measures, taken
by the government, turned Into a fiasco
the Socialist workmen's gigantic demon
stration in favor of the complete enforce
ment of the weekly rest day law. which
had been planned to take place on the
main boulevards today.
Under the French law, parades with
out the Buthorlzatlon of the prefect, who
makes arranRementa In advance for po
lice protection, are Illegal, ' but, count
ing upon the complacency of the radical
government, the labor leaders disdained
tills formality.
Premier t'lemenceau. however, realizing
that a procession ot such magnitude
would surely lead to trouble, as work
men on Friday had wrecked the shops of
several owners who would not comply
with the law, last night notified the lead
ers of the demonstration that it would
not be permitted to take place.
At this the leaders were greatly In
censed and issued orders to their fellows
to march in small groups under work
men's flags to the Place de la Repub-
lique, similar to the plan of the St.
Petersburg workmen to the palace square
of that city on "Red Sunday."
The placing of troops and police, how
ever, rendered this impossible, and every
where the workmen found their routes
blocked. Practically the precautions of
May 1. when the strikers were overawed,
were repeated. Infantry, dragoons, and
Republican guards were massed In the
Place de la. RppublUiue, and all the
streets leading to it were cleared In order
to permit the cavalry to manouver with
out their horses slipping.
The net result of the attempt at a
