mall, ran full speed Into the rear of
train No. 2. known as the Overland
Express, from Denver, which was
standing still on the track, telescoping
two of the Overland's Pullman cars.
Rsllroad officials refused to fix the
blame until after the wreck has been
" investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A.
Wilcox, who was in charge of the
tower from which the block signals
were controlled, said she was certain
the block was thrown against both
trains.

the dead except Brownson were
taken from the rear coach of the Den
ver train. The locomotive of No. 8
plowed through this car, halving It
and crushing out the lives of passen
gers, many of whom were In their
berths. On Into the second coach the
locomotive sped. Half way through
that car It veered to the left, throwing
the aleeper from the rails. The loco
motive was entirely stripped when It
stopped. Fire started Immediately
from the gas lights In the sleepers.
Many victims, pinioned down by heavy
timbers and iron, pleaded for death or
deliverance from the flames.
Members of the fire departments of
Western Springs and LaGrange were
on the scene within a few minutes and
put out the fire.
Bodies Robbed la Wreck.
Ghouls are believed to have robbed
the dead before they reached the
morgue In LaGrange. More than a
dosen large diamond sets were missing
from Jewelry, and although most of
the dead appeared to have been per
sons In comfortable circumstances, a
dime was the largest sura of money
found on any of the bodies.
An official of the Interstate Com
merce Commission was on the scene
early, assembling material for an in
vestigation. Coroner Hoffman ordered all bodies
embalmed -immediately and empanelled
a Jury to Investigate the wreck.
One story of how the wreck occur
red differed from that of Mrs. Wilcox,
the signal operator. It was that No. 2,
having been blocked by a signal, had
sent back a brakeman to set torpedoes
to warn No. 2.
No. 8 was comii.g down the grade
whea the crash came. Persons res
ponsible for the story of the torpedoes
said that No. 8 had received a signal
that the track was clear and that the
crew either bad failed to hear the
torpedoes or had. believed. they had a
clear track.
Conductor Frank Hughes of Hins
dale. I1U was" one of the first injured
men taken out. He .was held down
by debris in one end of the second
Pullman coach.
"I wish I had gon with them." he
told his rescuers. -But never mind me;
get those other people out."
One of the most pathetic features
of the wreck was the death of Mrs.
Pohlmann and the severe Injury of her
husband. They had been married only
eight months. -
Mrs. Wilcox, the tower operator, said
tonight:

Power to Fill Vacancy
Is Questioned.
HOPKINS WILL DEMAND SEAT
Defeated Candidate Contends
He Is People's Choice.
L0RIMER WILL FIGHT ON
Icneen Himself Will Give Xo Heed
to Suggestion That He Resign
and Accept Appointment by
Lieutenant-Governor. -
CHICAGO, July 14. (Special.) Gov
ernor Deneen is uncertain whether he
has the pow- to appoint a successor
to. W"" n rimer. The issue that
juio.i 1 , state executive Is this:
-mers seat was declared vacant. It
was held that his election was the re
sult of corruption and because of that,
the situation technically would be that
he never rightfully had possession of
that seat. If such a view of the situa
tion may be taken, the Governor feels
that his right to appoint a successor
might be questioned. He will confer
with the Attorney-General tomorrow
in an effort to learn whether he can
make the appointment or whether he
must wait for the Legislature to make
the selection by election.
Ex-Senator Hopkins will demand the
seat. He bases his claim to being the
rightful possessor of the seat' on the
theory that he was the choice of the
people In 1909.
Hopkins Says He Should Win.
"Lorimer's unseating leaves the
question where the people at the pri
mary election placed it." he said.- "I
am as much the candidate of the Re
publican party for this terra in the
Senate as is Mr. Sherman for the terra
In the Senate as the successor of Cul-
loin. We both have the indorsement of,
the Republican voters of Illinois at the
primary election for these respective
offices. If the will of the people as
expressed at the primary election con
trols, I shall be appointed my own suc
cessor." If Governor Deneen finds that he has
power to appoint a successor, how
ever, it is unlikely that Mr. Hopkins
will be named. The choice would be
Bernard A. Eckhart or some other' of
his close friends. Another trowed can
didate is ex-Senator Mason. Another
suggestion afloat in political circles
was that L. T. Sherman, the Republi
can candidate for the Senatorshlp to
succeed Senator Cullom might im
mediately . be appointed by the Gov
ernor. "
Legislature To Name Two.
In any event the Legislature will
have two Senatorial vacancies to fill
when It convenes. Suggestions that
Governor Deneen resign, thus permit
ting Lieutenant-Governor Oglesbie to

Will Favor Vancouver.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.,
July 14. (Special.) News that Con

of a brigade post here or at Fort Law.
ton is received with gratification by
General Maus, who thinks that the
preference between the two posts will
be for Vancouver.
From the standpoint of a brigade
fort. Vancouver Barracks Is Ideally lo
cated. It contains 640 acres of land
within the post proper and in addition
a target range located at Proebstel, 14
miles from the post which has been
adjudged by army experts one of the
finest In. the United States. A side
track from the North Bank line has
been run into the barracks, facilitating
the loading and' unloading of troops
and equipment. An excellent harbor in
the Columbia River makes it possible
to land large battleships within
short distance.
Soldiers living In Fort Vancouver are
much healthier and in better condition
than those- in any other fort in the
Department of the Columbia. - Accord
ing to army experts, there seems to be
little doubt that Vancouver will be
chosen as the location of the brigade
post.

STOCKHOLM. July ,14. South Afri
ca, which heretofore has played a mod
est part in this Olympic drama, came
to the center of the stage at the mo
ment of its culmination today, winning
the marathon race, the most Important
number on the Olympic programme.
This might have been honor enough
for a small nation, but South Africa
also won second place by a' secure lead.
The winner of the classical mara
thon was K. K. McArthur, a tall Trans
vaal policeman. His compatriot C. W.
Oltshaw, came second into the stadium
several hundred yards behind and third
to appear was the American, Graston
Stroblno, of South Paterson' Athletic
Club, who put up a braver fight than
most of the runners, for his feet were
skinned and bleeding and ha was suf
fering great pain.
American Finishes Gamely.
He never lost his nerve, though, and
made a brave attempt at feeling happy
while he traversed the stadium track
furlong behind the second man at
the end of the performance.
The times as announced were:
McArthur. 2 hours IS minutes; Git-
shaw, 2 hours 27 minutes 62 seconds!
Stroblno, 2 hours 88 minutes 42 2-5
seconds.
The Americans gave a death blow to
the theory that the athletes of the
United States are better at contests
which require quickness and agility
than in tests of endurance.
While 3000 spectators in the stadium
strained their eyes toward tha arch
way from under which the runners
emerged, they saw the American shield
on the breasts of six of the first ten
men who entered.
Six on Roll of Honor.
The names of this roll of honor are
Stroblno, Andrew Sockalexls, Old Town;
John J. Gallagher, Yale; Joseph Erxle
ben, Missouri A. C; Richard F. Plggott
North Dorchester A. A., and Joseph
Forshaw, Missouri A. C. The Ameri
can team numbered 12, and 10 finished.
The last of these was Thomas K.
LiUey, North Dorchester A. C, who fin
ished ISth.
Two Americana fell by the wayside-
Michael J. Ryan, of the Irish-American
A. C, who made a good run for 19
miles and then succumbed to the heat,
and John J. Reynolds, of the same club,
who fell out earlier.
Sweden furnished another dosen to
the race and if their strength had been
equal to their ambition they would
have had a different tale to tell. They
tarted at a great pace, but in th
first few miles put forth all their pow
ers and had nothing left when th
test came.
'Canada's Rope Qirita.
Canada had no reason to be ashamed.
for two of her representatives, J.
Duffy and Fosythe. finished fifth and
sixteenth, respectively. Canada's great
hope, Corkerey, ran with Ryan for sev
eral miles, and they gave It up to
gether. ,
The tall Finn, IColehmainen, a favor
ite, was outclassed. He took the lead
at the beginning, but Gitshaw caught
him at five miles and ran at his heels,
with McArthur and F. Lord of Great
Britain for 10 miles more and then
robbed him of the leadership.
Two miles and a half from the goal
McArthur went to the front and held
the lead to the end. He had com
pleted the circuit of the arena before
Gitshaw came under the archway and
fell to the ground exhausted. The
spectators cheered him lustily and as
he lay panting. Crown Prince Gustavo
Adolph came up, shook him by the
hand and patted him on the back.
South Africans Jubilant.
A small party of South African en
thusiasts had an enormous laurel
wreath readj' In anticipation of vic
tory, of which they were confident
from the first They lifted the two
athletes on their shoulders and slung
the laurel over McArthur. carrying
the pair across the field. Half an hour
