4DEAD- SCORE HURT
Santa Fe Trains Collide Head
'On in Los Angeles.
CRASH HEARD FOR BLOCKS
Three Bodies Thought to Lie Be
neath Debris Several or Injured
Xot Expected to Recover.
Trains Meet at High Speed.
LOS ANGELES. March 24. Tn a head
on collision between two Santa Fe trains
within the city limits last night at least
four persons were killed and a score were
injured, several of them fatally.
A Santa Fe special, carrying scores of
students returning trom an inter-collegiate
field meet at Claremont, met the
Santa Fe overland train while both
. trains were moving at a rapid rate of
speed. The engines were wrecked, one
of the baggage cars on the overland de
molished and the crash was heard for
blocks. The collision occurred In that
part of the Los Angeles river bed occu.
pled by the Santa Fe tracks and directly
beneath the Buena Vista street bridge.
' Up to midnight the authenticated list
' of dead Included the following:
C. G. FRANKLIN. Btudent at University
of Southern California.
A. H. EDWARDS.
J. C. GALL..
: FRED HODGSON, all three students of
Occidental allege.
The injured are:
Engineer Fred Walker, Overland train;
Fireman H. H. Beat Overland; A. G. Ross-
man, Philadelphia: C. Stuart, Claremont,
Cal. ; F. H. Cutting. Pomona, Cal.; T. Wor-
ley, Claremont. Cal.; Edward McLellan, Fo
mona. Cal.; Clarence .lones, J. Smith, E. F.
Pmlth, Eugene Etoppey. Uoyd Worrell, Los
Angeles: T. N. Worrell. R. W. Wilson. Miss
Etta Lane, Charles Parsons, Guy Goodwin,
all of Los Angeles.
A large force of men worked frantically
until daylight because of a report that
three persons were still missing and it
was believed that their bodies were pinned
beneath the telescoped cars. Several of
the injured are in a critical condition and
is feared that two may die.
Responsibility for the collision will not
rte officially determined until after the
Coroner's Inquest on Tuesday afternoon
in all statements made to newspaper rep
resentatives the railroad officials indicate
that the wreck was due to disobedience
of orders on the part of Engineer Kelly of
the Santa Fe overland.
Kelly has admitted that he received
written orders to Btop his train at a tower
200 yards before reaching the scene of
the collision. The engineer stated that
he "had not had time to read his orders
before pulling out of the station."
Ieput1es from the Coroner's inmiest
spent the greater part of the day at the
scene of the collis'on and stated that one
or more arrests for manslaughter were
pending.
good must come and be felt to come
from a friend.
'As I have said on another occasion.
tlie root of Socialism is the doctrine that
all men of right ought to be, and should
therefore be made and be kept, precisely
equal. This doctrine is a wholly arbi
trary dogma, a pure assumption, justified
neither by reason nor by history,, and'
in fact contradicted by the daily experi
ence of all mankind; but it was so ear
nestly and so widely preached by the
apostles of the French revolution and
has so gravely affected legislation, custom
and public opinion wherever the influence
of the revolution extends that to ques
tion its truth even now seems to a cer
tain class of teachers and thinkers iittle
short of blasphemy.
"In its original and salutary form, and
as it found echo in our declaration of in
dependence the cry for 'equality' was
coupled with one for 'liberty.' and in this
country it amounted to a protest against
arbitrary and oppressive privileges,
against distinctions Justified by no ma
terial dinrerence. to a demand that the
aw give every man a fair field and no
favor.
'But it was quickly seen that to make
men more free would make them less
nearly equal; that the fairer their start
the more quickly and surely would some
come to the front and others fall behind;
that, in short, if 'equality had the mean-
ng which leaders In revolutionary
thought are nore and more inclined to
give it, 'equality' is inconsistent with
'liberty,' and they must choose between
them: they recognized. In fact though
not in words, this and gave up liberty."

GIVE VETS BARREL SUITS
BUT OXE FATALITY- FROM POI
SONED HASH.
Physicians Resort to Heroic Meas
ures and Lives of Old Sol
diers Are Saved.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., March 24.
(Special.) The first fatality as the result
of ptomaine poison contained in" hash
fed to over E0O0 veterans at the Soldiern'
Home yesterday morning, was the death
late this afternoon of William J.. Cook,
aged ftt. a member of Company C, ot the
Fourteenth Missouri Cavalry. The phy
siclans say they do not believe there will
be any more deaths resulting directly
from this cause.
The home physicians, in the task of
eliminating the poison from the systems
of the old men. used heroic measures,
and over a barrel of Epsom salts was ad
ministered, and in severe cases where
symptoms of heart failure were apparent
as a result of the poison, stimulants were
administered by hyperdermic injections.
John W. Syfrltt, cook at the Soldiers'
Home, said today:
"The hash is never prepared In copper
kettles, and the meat used was not fresh
meat. The poisonous substance, what
ever it was, was in the meat when it
came from the packing-house, as the
meat was corned beef and was cooked
right from the barrels in which it came.
No meal is prepared a day ahead. All
breakfasts- are prepared on the morning
of the day they are served.
"The mistake and responsibility rests
with the packtng-house which furnished
the meat, and not with the preparing.
We use 500 pounds of corned beef, 15
bushels of potatoes and four bushels of
onions in making the hash for a single
breakfast. It is all cooked on the morn
ing it is eaten."
maintained between New York and the
capital. During the Mexican War a
Baltimore newspaper organized a pony
express from Baltimore to New Orleans
nd got its war news hours ahead or tne
Government service. The first use to
which the telegraph was put was to carry
news for -the papers, tn 184G Henry Clay
made a speech on the Mexican War at
Lexington. Ky. It was taken 80 miles to
Cincinnati, and from there telegraphed
to the New York Herald, which printed
it next morning in full. It was the first
peech ever sent by wire and its pumica-
ion caused a veritable sensation. In that
same year, when the Oregon boundary
uestion was the burning issue and trou
ble with England was expected, the cry
of "fifty-rour forty or fight" caused a
combination of papers to charter a swift
illot boat to get the latest news from
England.
Xews Three Weeks Old.
When Lincoln was killed more than
three weeks elapsed before the comment
of the European press appeared in Ameri
can papers. When Garfield was shot, the
Associated Press furnished two columns
next" morning of what the monarchs and
newspapers of the Old World had to say
In deploring the tragedy. The oceanic
cable was a success as early as 18t6, out
It was in the Franco-Prussian War of
1870 that it was first used for newspa
pers to any considerable extent. At first
the cable rate was $100 for twenty words,
and it took a rich newspaper to pay the
tariff.
Practically all of the papers in the
ears just before the Civil War had the
same "make-up." Congressional or Wash.
ington news came first, then the Euro
pean news, If a vessel had arrived, and
after that whatever little local news
could measure up to the standard of the
day. There were always some poetry, a
chapter of novel and advertisements ga
lore.
Dana Begins Revolution.
Charles-A. Dana of theNew York Sun,
more than any other one man, was re
sponsible for the revolution In the man
ner of handling the news. He broke away
from the conventional notion that vvasn
ington events were always most imnort
ant and made each bit of neys stand
on its own merits as to interest. This
movement did away with the old style
of reporting the deliberations of Con
gress verbatim and in sequence, as is now
done only in the Congressional Record.
This way of printing the news from con
gress was responsible for the fact that,
when President Andrew Johnson was im
peached, the subscriber of the New York
Tribune was forced to read through four
columns of. unimportant matter to get
to the impeachment of the President in
the House of Representatives.

Dr. Harrlercliff, of St. Helens, Or. The
engine is to be to horsepower, but the
craft in which it is to be placed will be

William Lloyd Garrison Regrets In
activity of Friends of Negro.
BOSTON. March 24. William Lloyd
Garrison presided at a mass meeting held
in Tremont Temple today under the aus
pices of the industrial department of Mor
ris Brown College, of Atlanta, Ga. Mr.
Garrison said:
"What disturbs me more than the atti
tude of the Southerners who are making
capital out of race hatred are the conces
sions of Northern friends of the colored
people who have been truly helpful in
the encouragement of Southern schools.
Because prejudice is deep-rooted and is
against demonstrating its strength in the
North, it is all the more urgent that no
countenance be given to this hateful spirit.
Not even Southern lynchings are so dis
heartening to the friends of equal rights
as tne acquiescence or such men as ex
President Cleveland, President Eliot, of
Harvard, and Bishop Lawrence, of Massa
chusetts (all desirous of uplifting the
colored race) In the nullification of the
fifteenth amendment and the mainten
ance of caste schools."
Mr. Garrison argued that the white
South has shown "no sense of responsi
billty, since "usurping all political
power" tind that it has discriminated
against colored schools in appropriations.

Russian Radical party.
"Both of the Russians," said Mr.

first."
Circulars were distributed among
the audience of 4000 people addressed
to Congress and asking that the United
States make formal protest against
"the perverted use of governmental
functions, of which the Russian people
are the victims."
groundless, but wrong in the off-hand
attacks made on the railroads by
thoughtless people. We should reflect
that the railroads are vitally related
to our prosperity, and that to attack
them needlessly is to attack ourselves.
It is not the stock of soulless million
aires, but the property of citizens, of
widows and orphans, whose savings are
invested in railroads, that is being
damaged. We shall recall what the
railroads have been and still are to
be in the development of our country,
and this craze will pass.
"Of, course, there musfbe some form
of Governmental supervision, but it
should be planned in a quiet hour, not
in one of tingry excitement. Popular
emotions follow peculiar laws."
Discussing the political situation,
Mr. Cleveland said:
"It behooves Democrats to lose no
time in bringing to the front the Issue
of the tariff reform, and in focusing
the attention of the country upon It.
Tariff reform is the issue that will
clarify the atmosphere. solidify the
friends of Democracy and bring vic
tory to the party."

A. Bowers, Who Secured Alaska
Curiosity at Great Risk,
Will Ask Its Return.
SEATTLE. 'Wash., March 24. After
risking his life and narrowly escaping
the loss of a $3000 launch to secure
the mummified remains of an old In
dian medicine man from a small island
12 miles from Sitka, H. A. Bowers, who
controls the sale of gunpowder in Alas
ka and Is exceedingly wealthy, cannot
even get an acknowledgment from the
University of Washington, to which he
sent the curiosity. Bowers has been
in Seattle a month, and if he does not
soon hear from the school, he is going
out to take back the curiosity and send
it to the Smithsonian Institute or some
other place where they return letters
of acknowledgment.
The Alaska Indians shunned the is
land where the mummy was. and when
Bowers heard of it he could not induce
the red men to take him to the cave.
The story of the medicine man's sleep
had become a tradition known to the
oldest of the Indians, but Bowers want
ed to verify it for himself.
Atter a dangerous run, he made a
landing on the island, and located the
cave tn January of this year. It was
10 degrees above zero on the outside.
but inside the cave the atmosphere was
so warm that Bowers had to shed his
coat. After a hard struggle, he suc
ceeded in getting the mummy out and
shipped it to Seattle. He inclosed it
in a glass case and sent it to the uni
versity as a loan in the museum.
The mummified remains were for
warded to the university In February.
More than a month passed, and Bow
ers has never been apprised of the I
mummy arrival, tnougn he has
learned indirectly that it was received.
