The westbound train had just left
the depot and the eastbound train, a
Clevelttnd-Huf falo express, was coast
ing into the station when the crash
came. A car on the eastbound train
suddenly loaped from the. rails and
crashed into the Pullman, tearing its
steel sides away as if they were
paper. The occupants of the car
were hurled from their seats and
thrown into a mass as the heavy
Pullman toppled over with the open
side up.
Police and firemen were forced to
use ladders in taking the dead and
injured from the wreckage. All of
the dead were badly mangled and it
is almost impossible to identify three
of the dead until the Pullman list
can be checked up.
Section. Gins Suspected.
Tho crew of the eastbound train
declared that the switch was all right
"when they looked at it. Road offi
cials are of the opinion that a mem
ber of the section gang, believing the
switch open and seeing the rapidly
moving train, threw the lever. Others
are of the opinion that as the section
gang was working on the switch that
they may have loose ned the bolts.

WALLOWA IS INVADED
(Continued from h'irs-t Pas?

coloring, with a mantle of new-fallen
Know where the range broadened and
lifted Into real mountain stature.
Sleek stock crazed in the fenced
fields, sunflowers acres wanted the
silo, stubble stretched away to the
edKe of the hills and a contentedness
marked the country for its own in
early morning;.
The excursion special halted at the
city of Wallowa to ffive the message
of western co-operation and to " be
greeted by a cordial coterie of citi
ons. There was no formal assembly in
"Wallowa. Community enthusiasts
informed the visitors that the pride
of tho county is a diversified pride,
rcstiris more particularly on horses
and hoKs.
Anything Declared Oronn.
"We (trow anything that is grown
ti where in Orepon," modestly as
serted J. M. Bledsoe, editor of the
Sun. "and we grow it better. Our
horses are the talk of the state, even
in these days of srasoline. and our
bogs are the most remarkable porkers
that ever ttrew into dollars. Before
wheat became too high priced as feed,
the county raised more hogs than
any district in the state.
"We have no Irrigation projects,
for the natural fall of the Wallowa
river is such that our valley farmers
ditch it to their fields where they
please, while the hill farmers sum
mer fallow their fields. 1"11 say it's a
good place to be. l-'or game, we have
ducks, grouse, prairie chickens and
both native and Mongolian pheasants,
not to mention deer. See that ridge
over there? I killed a seven-point
buck just where the range slides
down to the river only a mile from
town. m
flow lard to Mine Soil.
"There may be gold in them hills.
r'artner. as many prospectors asserted
n the Wallowa range, but the town
developers are now enthusiastic about
the future of the mining industry.
They prefer to mine the soil with a
plow, and to drive their finished stock
to the cars for shipment. And when
they speak of mineral wealth they
have but one affinity. It Is the gleam
ing black marble from the quarries
near Wallowa."
At noon the special train arrived
at Jseph, the terminus of Its track.
The tang of the hills was in the air
and the lure of Wallowa lake called
the visitors to the edge of the moun
tains, not more than a rifle shot from
tois, Autos bore them to the beach
of that blue Wallowa that lies in the
lap of this hill, a lake that any true
son of "Wallowa, by nature or adop
tion, will declare to be the destined
niecca of, many tourists. And the
beauty of Wallowa lake is compel
ling:. It is as productive of admira
tion as the air is productive of ap
petite. At the noon luncheon, served
by the housewives of Joseph, various
speakers dwelt upon the purpose of
the trade excursion.
Mutual Matters DUensHed.
- Among- those who spoke for Port
land, treating the comradely nature
of the visit, were F. A. Spencer, "Will
iam B. Layton and William D. Stubbs.
"We are mighty glad to meet you in
your home town," said Mr. Stubbs,
"and to discuss matters of mutual in
terest. We feel that our trip will be
beneficial to Joseph and Wallowa
county and to Portland. And we
pledge ourselves to aid in bringing
about the development of this section
of Oregon."
"Wallowa county," said the Joseph
enthusiast, "possesses the finest for
est range for livestock in the Pacific
northwest. In the Wallowa national
forest graze more than 30,000 cattle,
with potential wool and mutton rep
resented by 186.000 sheep. It is a
country of divers interests, carrying
its eggs in no single basket, confi
dent, assured of the future and asking
only for financial credit until its eco
nomic thews shall toughen and take
up their fair share of the burden of
Oregon production.
Valley One In W hich to Dwell.
"A valley to dwell upon and in is
that of the Wallowa. Its inhabitants
believe that no other county of Ore
gon has been quite so liberally fa
vored in the allotment of advantages.
Tt does not envy the grandeur that is
Mount Hood for its own Kagle Cap
is no hill. Beyond Wallowa lake it
taunts the clouds with 10.960 feet of
scenery."
late tnis afternoon the trade ex
cursionists were the guests of Knter
prise, attending a banquet given in
their honor. Tomorrow the Portland
special wllll visit Elgin, Imbler, Island
City and La Grande, with the head
light turned again toward home.
Three days of friendly calls on east
ern Oregon towns remain before the
excursion strikes out for Portland,
where it will arrive Sunday morning.

PASTORS FORM NEW BODY
Tacoma Ministers Out of Sympathy
With Alliance, Organize.
TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) Eighteen pastors of Protestant
churches in Tacoma have formed an
association after publicly stating that
they were "out of sympathy with the
programme of the present ministerial
alliances." -
The latter body has been in exist
ence for. many years and includes in
its membership pastors of practically
all the Evangelical churches. Some of
the clergymen in the new body were
not members of the alliance.

the older body, but hint some dog
matical differences in its rules for
admission.
DRY BAPTISM IS DENIED

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 20. The report of
the foreign missionary society deny
ing charges that members were re
ceived into the denomination in China
without baptism by immersion was
.sustained tonight by the international
convention of the Disciples of Christ.
C. C. Morrison of Chicago, editor of a
religious publication, led a fight on
the report, producing Correspondence

missionary at Luckowfu. China, in

Physician Says Alleged Slayer Has
Mind of 10-Year-Old and Was
Temporarily Unbalanced.
CHICAGO. Oct. 20. Carl Wanderer,
testifying in his own defense in the
trial for the murder, of his wife, today
declared he was innocent and repudi
ated the signed statement in which he
confessed slaying his wife, their un
born child, and a vagabond he said he
hired to stage a mimic holdup and
thus divert suspicion from himself.
He said the confession was wrung
from him by "bullyragging and vio
lence" and that he made it "so the
detectives would let him alone and let
him get a little sleep." He was beaten
and mauled in his cell until he con
fessed, he testified.
Dr. William Hickson, head of the
psycopathic hospital, previously tes
tified the defendant was insane and
had the mind of a 10-year-old child.
He was insane at the time of the mur
der and when he made the confession.
Dr. Hickson said he believed.
Wanderer entefed the courtroom
humming an Irish love ballad. At no
time during the three .hours he was
on the stand did he hesitate in an
swering questions.
He repeated the original version of
the shooting of his wife by the tramp
and the slaying of the? hobo, telling
almost word for word the story given
the police the day of the affair and
which made him a hero until he was
arrested charged with murder.
"Ruth (his wife) and I went to a
picture show," he said. "On the way
back I noticed a ragged stranger fol
lowing us, but thought little of it
until later when I recognized him as
the man I had shot. Ruth went into
the vestibule in the hallway ahead of
me. I could see the outlines of a man,
but before I could do anything, he
began firing. I drew my revolver and
emptied it in his direction."
"Did you shoot?" asked one of Wan
derer's counsel.
"I shot in the direction of the man,"
he replied.
"Did you shoot your wife?"
"No. sir. I did not shoot my wife,"
said Wanderer.
WEEDING PARTY IN CRASH
GIRL, 9. HURLED FROM AUTO,
GROUND UNDER TRAIN.
Couple Postpone Ceremony for
Hour and Are Married While
Injured Go to Hospital.
BELFORD. N. J., Oct. 20. (Special.)
Shortly before 6 o'clock tonight the
Seabright Express train from New
York struck an automobile in which
were Mr-and Mrs. Charles Casler and
daughter Margaret, -9, son Richards
25. and a friend, Albert Morris, 65. all
of Belford. They had just started out
from their home for Rumsen to attend
the wedding of Mr. Caster's eon, Or
ville. .
The young daughter was ground
under the train and Mr. Harris was
badly mangled. Reginald Bennett,
county physician of Asbury Park, was
called and will likely hold an inqnest.
The others were taken to Monmouth
Memorial hospital at Long Branch,
where they are being treated for cuts
and bruises. They will likely recover.
News of the accident reached the
home of the bride-to-be. Miss Valeria
Brighton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Brighton of the Ridge road,
Rumsen, shortly before the ceremony
was to have taken place.
About a hundred guests had gath
ered. After a postponement of about
an. hour, the couple were married by
Rev. Arthur A. McKay, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, Rumsen. The
accident cast a gloom over, what had
planned to be a big wedding and cele
bration. There are no gates at the Belford
crossing and the flagman had been
laid off duty October 1. The Caslers
say they did not see or hear the ex
press until too late.
KENYON TRIAL MS END
JUKV TO BE "CHARGED TODAY
IF ARGUMENTS CLOSE.
Woman Charged With Killing Dr.
Herbert Tetlow Said to Be
Guilty of Homicide.
NORWICH, Conn., Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) The trial of Mrs. Mabel Ken
yon, charged with killing Dr. Her
bert Tetlow,, Is drawing to a close. .
Several witnesses were called in re
buttal at the morning session and ar
guments were begun this afternoon.
The prospects are that the jury will
begin its deliberations Friday morn
ing. Dr. Michael Scanlon, who was called
to attend the dying man, declared that
Mrs. Kenyon's testimony concerning
his utterances upon entering the
house were absolute falsehoods.
The arguments were begun by As
sistant States Attorney .Hewitt, who
declared Mrs. Kenyon is guilty of
some degree of homicide, quoting
statutes to prove that "one who uses
a pistol 'in a reckless manner, caus
ing it to go off and kill another, is
guilty of homicide."
He asked if it were her intention to
commit suicide why she had fired
four shots away from her own body.
The state's argument today lasted
one hour. For the defense John J.
Dunn opened and spoke for an hour.
He ridiculed the idea of a frail woman
of 100 pounds struggling with and
killing a 6-foot, heavily-built man
and upheld the theory of Mrs. Ken
yon's attempted suicide.
Mr. Dunn dilated upon the necessity
for showing a motive and denounced
Dr. Scanlon's testimony as prejudiced.
The final arguments will be delivered
tomorrow and Judge Hinman will
charge the jury.
