The wreck was the result of a cloud burst wklrh carried out 1080 feet of a fill at what Is normally almost a dry ted. turning the latter Into a torrent many yards wide and I feet deep, i The train was proceeding on a tratght stretch of track. Evidently the first Intimation that the engineer had of any danger came when he realised that the forward portion of the train was running tn water which had spread out over the tracks near the fill. Reveralng his engine, the speed of the train was checked but not enough to prevent the engine, baggage car and smoker going over Into the depression. Smoker Tilted on Knd. Tlie rear-end of th smoker remained tilted on the earth bank and the chair car ripped lis a ay Into the smoker, smashing It to pieces, and killing or Injuring many of tlie passengers. As near as can be learned here to night, all of the pas-rngers killed were ocmjpants of the emoker. It Is certain that Engineer Richen baugh could have Jumped and saved him self but he remained at his post and did everything possible to prevent the train running mto the ditch. Pullman Slay on Track. The three Pullmans remained on the track and the occupants of these cars wre unhurt. The dead and injured were taken to Norton. Kan. None of the Injured la In serioun condition. The washout ill re paired late thl evening and traffic re sumed. rsn(em In the Pullman ard other day coach, hurled from their berths and cliairs by the shock, hurried out Into the storm and rendered what aid they could to the Injured and In extricating tlie mangled bodies of the dead. Others hurried to Clayton, where news of the aicijrnt was wired to dlvlxion headquarters and within half an hour physicians and nurse and a wreck train were being hurried to the scene from Norton. Culby, Ooodland and Philllps hurg. It was not until late this after noon, however, that the last body was recovered from the wreck. Members ft the Topeka baseball team of the Wfetprn Ueague on their way to t)rnver were occupants of the Pullman, but escaped Injury. KNOX MAY BE ARBITRATOR Ki-Minlter Thompson's Hail road Causes Dispute in Guatemala. GUATEMALA CITY. Tuesday, Sept. 13. It is possible that the American State Iepartment will be asked to Intervene In the controversy that has grown out of the extension of the Mex tcsn National Railroad line Into Guate malan territory. 1 in loi the Guatemala Central Rail road, an American corporation, ob tained an exclusive concession to ex tend Its line to the frontier of Mexico, thus completing another link In the Pan-American railroad system. Pref erential right wss also granted to build a bridge to connect this line with the .Mexican Pan-American Railroad. Late In UOj. a company, of which Iavld E. Thompson, formerly American Ambassador to Mexico, became the president, and the son of President IMas, one of the directors, purchased tlie Mexican Pan-American Railroad. In January last President Thompson secured from the government of Guate mala a concession allowing him to build a bridge across the Suchlate River and establish a terminal for the Mexii-an line on Guatemalan soil. This brought forth a vigorous protest rrotn tlie American line in Guatemala, the owners of which assert their Interests have been placed In Jeopardy. The Mexican Pan-American Railroad has since passed Into the hands or trie m i.-an Government, though Mr. Thomp' son has retained the ownership of the concession of the bridge which the gov ernment line wltl use.

Rec ognition wis refused to Lee O'Nell Browne today on the floor of tha IUI hols Democratic state convention here. Browna was acquitted recently of bribery in eonnbetion with the election f TTnitait state Senator Lorimer. As a member of the resolutions commit tee, he was told by Rogr c suuivan, ITtaarhan nt the DMho- cratlc Phfty In Illinois, Hot to anert himself. fhe platform adopted was different In many planks from tha draft which th committee took Iftta Its room. Loud anni, r hnrj from tha room. These were from Browne, who called some members of the party wno recently met at Peoria "bladfmauer." Browne Twice Ignored. Browne was named on the resolu tions committee by members of th Twelfth Senator!! District delegation. His name was hissed and cheered by delegates. In reeding the list of members or tne committee, the secretary rekd the name of L. O. Browne. A delegate asked : who is this la O. Browne" This question was Ignored by the chair, and when the delegate Insisted upon a reply, Browne arose and cried: "If the gentleman wishes iniorma- tion, I am the man to give it to him." He was not allowed td reply, and fteptesentatlva Ralney. chairman, ob tained Order under difficulties. The second rebuff came to Brown Just as the c6ventlon adjourned after the adoption of the platform. With the mo tion for adjournment pending. Browne Stood with his friends In the center of the hall demanding recognition. Ha was Ignored. Lortmr's K lection Deplored. After the convention was brought to a close, he. made his way to the chairman and explained he wanted to say he could not approve of that part of the platform which referred to United State Senator Lorimer. The Democratic party, according to the platform, admitting that Senator Lori mer was elected by the votes 6f some of its party, does not assume that it has any political interest In Senator Lorimer and it does not consider him as repre senting the principles 6t the party. Thft election is deplored. The original draft condemned "bath room tactics" nd "Jackpot" legislation. These words were eliminated by the com mittee, according to the Secretary, be cause they were objectionable. Bribery Is Condemned.' 'The Democratic party." read the re vised plank, "is unalterably opposed to the giving or the taking Of bribes by those seeking legislative favors and we condemn in unmeasured terms any per son or persons. Democratic or Republi can, who may have been guilty of any participation therelh and declar in Ihl connection that we favor the election of United States Senators by direct vote or the people." A plank maintaining that the people fere entitled to as low prices on School books as prevail In other states, and urging that efforts be made to secure a reduction was made in tne committee room. The platform came out squarely for home rule for cities and villages after the resolution committee reached an agreement. The . plank opposing the cumulative system of voting for legis lator was eliminated. The Initiative and referendum are favored. Representative Champ Clark, of Mis souri, was the principal epeaker.
