K'EXE OF HORROR CUKETS EYE
Survivor Dolcro Wrcx-k Tells Piti
ful Story of Disaster.
SALT UKE CITY. Jan. 17. A num
ber of survivors of the Dotsero wreck on
the Rio Grande Railroad, reached Salt
Lake City today. Those who wer not
too benumbed by the scene of horror
through which they had passed, related
pitiful stories of the disaster.
"1 was sitting In a Pullman." said
George H. Harris, a Salt Lake man,
"when 1 felt a jar. It was nothing
much so far as the shock was concerned,
but out of curiosity I went to the plat
form to larn the cause of the stop.
Only then did I suspect that we had been
In h collision. It j-emcd as though the
passengers from every undamaged car
were upon the scene instantly and every
man and a majority of the women set
to work to aid the unfortunates under
the d.ur;s.
"Wh-n we had completed our work It
was found that IK were dead, three
others died in the hospital and a hobo
who was riding the blind bagsage was
crushed to death. That made a total
of Zi dead. '
"The chalrcoach was completely de
molished ami there was hardly enough
of It left to f:ll a cigar box. Where the
accident occurred there is a river on
one side of the embankment and a sheer
descent on the other. The impact drove
the tourist sleeper through the- chair
car ahead, one side fulling down the em
bankment and the other into the water.
"While a party of us were at work
we came upon a family of Jive father,
mother, two little boys and a little girl.
As we reached the father he cried out:
'For God's sake help my children: I
am dying" We had been working
hard, but we put more energy. If pos
sible, into our labors, and oon had the
little girl freed from the wreckage.
She was badly hurt, but we knew it
would help tiie dying parents If we
told them the child was safe. When
we reached them our consoling mes
sages were too late. The father,
mother and two boys had passed to
the great beyond.
"A little further on our attention wa
called to a little girl about years old.
She was lying dead upon the aecond
locomotive of the freight train. Evi
dently when th Impact came" she had
been hurled from the chair-car over the
bageage-car and two engines.
"The hobo on the blind baggage was
pinned between the tender and the
front of the baggage-car. It was Im
possible to remove him. and. as he was
dead, we allowed him to remain there."

AL'GCSTA. Jan. 17. Introduced to a
b'g audience of men comprising the
negro Y. M. C. A., of thie city, today
President-elect Taft discussed the Chris
tian uplift of the Y. II. C. A. work.
Dr. Walker, known as the "Black
Spurgeon." who Introduced Mr. Taft. sald
the negroes of Georgia owned 1.CO.000
acres of land In the state and paid taxes
on $30,000,000 worth of propn-ty.
This report Mr. Taft regarded as most
encouraging. It gave nim an Illustra
tion for the oft-expressed belief that the
raca qtifstlon must be settled by the
negroes themselves booming Indispensable
to the community In which they live.
This meant Industry, information and
thrift, acquired by constant individual ef
fort. He dwelt at length on the ad
vantage of Y. M. C. A. work to bring
out this end.
Money In Good Cause.
After he had described the Y. M. C. A.
work on the Iethuins of Panama.-where
four clubs are running, each under the
direction of an experienced Y. M. C. A.
secretary, paid by the Government:
where ten or a dozen ministers are also
employed by the Government with a plan
Indorsed to establish two or three more
clubs, Mr. Taft remarked:
"It Is possible we will be charged with
having niched that money from ths pub
lic Treasury. If we have, we have ac
complished a good work with it. I think
also the expenditure could be defended
on strictly legal 'grounds. We have en
tered the Isthume of Panama and intro
duced there some 50.000 souls.
Must Look After Morals.
"Unless we take especial pains to have
their morality looked after, unless we
furnish ministers, churches and Chris
tian clubs, we are going to have such
a saturnalia of evils, such demoraliza
tion that we will never build the canal.
Hence. If we are to be Impeached for
spending that money it would be In a
good cause."
Mr. Taft arrived here from Atlanta at
9 o'clock today. '
Fred W. Carpenter, who will accom
pany Mr. Taft to the White House as
Secretary to the President, arrived here
today from a vacation in California.

CIRCUITS TO FILL CABINET
Talk of Anointments From Bench
for Taffs Official Family.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan." 17. A story has been put
in circulation in Washington, based, no
doubt, on the Judicial training of the
President-elect, to the effect that the
next Cabinet will be composed of nine
men, one chosen from each Judicial
Circuit. It Is true that most Presidents J
have a regard for geographical lines in
making up their Oablnets. and Mr. Taft.
b taking one man from each circuit,
could recognlxe every section of tho
country. The only fault with this plan
In that it would compel the appointment
of two Southern men to the Cabinet,
something very unusual In a Republican
regime.
. It Is known that the first and third
circuits will be represented in the Cab
inet by Messrs. Hitchcock and Knox, re
spectively. If a New Yorker is appointed,
the second circuit would likewise be rep
resented. If the fourth circuit should be
represented, it would have to be a man

or the Carollnas. No man from that cir
cuit has yet been mentioned for Cabinet
office, except Congressman Slemp, of
Virginia. Nor has any man from the
fifth circuit been mentioned, this being
entirely a Southern circuit.
Should Secretary Luke Wright remain
In the Cabinet, he would represent the
sixth circuit, as wouldr an Ohloan. Un
der the arrangement named, but one
Cabinet member could be chosen from
Indiana. Illinois and- .Wisconsin, and
those states each have possibilities. A
man from the eighth circuit would rep
resent the Mississippi Valley and Rocky
Mountain region, while-a 'Pacific Coast
man would represent the ninth circuit.

the hope that they might find some trace
of the crew, but nightfall came and their
quest had been In vain.
It is supposed that the Swallow was
bound from New Foundland to New
York with a cargo of frozen herring and
that she carried a deckload of lumber.
Caught in the storm, the members of tho
crew probably lost their bearings and
struck on one of the many ssr.db-irs a
mile or so off shore near the Bluo Point
station. There the wind and. heavy seas
pounded the vessel to pieces, and the
men aboard were speedily lost In the
