with emphasis, that the keynote of his
policy will be to treat the South aa an in
tegral part of the country and to extend
1 to it equal and exact justice in all matters.

queters, composed of leading; cltlsens
f'om every state south of Mason and

j for several minutes it was Impossible for
Taft to proceed.
Mr. Taft. was not only Introduced to
"possum and 'tat-rs." a dish far famed
In the South since the days "befoh de
wan." but the banquet marked the birth
of a new American toy which bids fair
to displace the far-famed "Teddy Bear,"
the Billy Possum, first suggested by Car
toonist Orefra-. of the Atlanta constitution.
The first of the soccsssors to the little
bear with which children of America have
been wont to njay since the advent of
President Roosevelt, was presented to the
President-elect.
When the time for the serving; of the
course of " 'possum and 'tatera and 'Sim
mon beer" wss reached, the orchestra,
screened by fern and potted plants In the
gallery, struck tip the stirring strains of
Sousa's "Georgia Camp meeting." while
down the center aisle and headed directly
fur Judge Taft. there came a waiter who
fairly staggered under the weight of the
choicest opossum ot the very choi'-est.

with rich, golden. leorgiH yams, and fol

of persimmon beer.

until his face was flooded with color.' It
was at this Juncture rmt President Chan
dler, of the Chamber of Commerce, pre
sented the toy "possum," with appro
priate verse.
When the band struck up "America,"
the audience rose as one man and with
Sir. Taft's bass voice leading, the air
went swelling through the banquet-room.

Instructions perfectly, but that he mis
read his watch, tli us encroaching on
the time of the freight, which was be
tng drawn by two locomotives, the
first of which was In charge of his
brother, Slg Olsen. Train No. 6 was
made up of an engine and tender,
baggage-car, a smoking-car, followed
by a chair-car. tourist sleeper and
full complement of Pullman sleepers
and a dining car. . .
Awful Work of Demolition.
The locomotives are up on end and
Joined together as one piece ef mech
anism. Their wheels were rolled down
Into the Grand River and pteces of
machinery are scattered all over the
scene of the wreck. The smoking-car
was only partly derailed, while the
chair-car. immediately following, was
completely telescoped by the tourist
sleeper. None of the Pullman sleepers
left the track and no one was killed or
Injured In these cars, most of the dead
and Injured being removed from tha
ruins of the chair-car, which was split
completely In twain.
When the news of the catastrophe
reached Glenwood Springs, every avail
able physician and nurse In the city were
pressed Into service and a relief train
waa soon on the scene a -scene never to
be forgotten in Its gruesomeness.
Body after body was taken from -the
wreckage and for a time It appeared as
though the heartrending task would never
be completed.
Bodies Torn to Pieces.
The body of a woman was found lying
a few yards from the wreckage, close
to the banks of the Grand River, both
arms missing and otherwise horribly
mangled.
A tralnload of 30 'wounded and bloody
men and women, who barely escaped with
their lives, arrived In Glenwood Springs
at 7 o'clock this morning. Carriages and
wagonettes were waiting at tho Rio
Grande depot when the train came 'o a
stop. Tha wounded were taken to 'he
County Hospital and to sanitariums avid,
when the cots and wards had been filled,
rooms were secured in the hotels of
Glenwood Springs for the maimed.
Not Knough. Surgeons.
It was found at an early hour that
there was a shortage of surgeons and
only first aid could be administered until
late this afternoon, when surgeons from
all the surrounding cities began to pour
Into Glenwood Sprfiags-
A woman died from her Injuries on the
relisf train while on her way here. It
is expected that some of the wounded
will die of their injuries.
As the bodies were being taken from the
ruins they were laid side by side on a
bier ot snow, amid the agonizing shrieks
of husband, wife, child and parent, as
they searched among the dead for their
loved ones, many of whom were mangled
beyond recognition.
Children Left Orphans.
A pathetic feature of the incident was
the killing of a father and mother, leav
ing two small children, the elder being
four years old, the younger two. The
elder boy told a nurse that his father
called him Bennie and this la ail ho will
say. From a fellow-passenger It waa
learned that the family was on the way to
Grand Junction to visit relatives. It la
supposed Mr.- and Mrs. Kettel, whoso
names appear among the dead, were the
parents of these two little ones, who are
badly Injured.
Another sad case was tha destruction
of an entire family with the exception of
an infant of three months. This helpless
child was taken care of by a kind-fam
ily at Shoshone, which Intends to adopt
the sole survivor ot the once happy fam
ily. Kscapes but Has Collapsed.
One of tho remarkable incidents of the
wreck was . the miraculous escape from
the ill-fated chair-car of Mr. Stall,
of Pueblo, Colo., salesman for a com
mission . house of that city. Mr. Stall
escaped without a scratch, but soon aft
erward suffered a severe nervous shock
and is tonight on the verge of a ner
vous collapse.
Another heartbreaking scene was en
acted in the wreck, when kind hands
gently lifted a pretty 4-year-old girJ,
from the death clasp of her mother's
arms.. Nearby lay the body of .her
father, decapitated, and on every side
were lifeless bodies.
A crowd gathered around the Impro

the Rio Grande depot, all of them dis
cussing the awful catastrophe In view
ing the remains aa they were borne
from the chamber of death to funeral
cars after being carefuty searched for
any remote means of recognition. From
the cars they wero quickly wheeled to

Peculiar Legal Tancle Results
From l-o"g Adjournment of
State Legislators.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 16. (Special.)
After scurrying around today to learn the
effect of their 7B-hour adjournment of
Friday, members of the House have been
reassured by legal authorities in this
city that the action will not bo attended
by disastrous consequences.
Authorities Here agreed that the days,
and not the hours, should be counted in
determining whether or not the consti
tuiional provision prohibiting an adjourn
ment for more than three days has been
violated.
If tho House Is In session on the third
day after the day Oi adjournment, as it
will be in this case, the constitution has
been complied with In spite of tho fact
that the number of hours between scs
sions exceed three periods of 21 houn
each. '
It Is also held that even if the House
passed a motion to adjourn for more-than
three days, the motion and not the ad
journment would be unconstitutional. In
such event the public rule providing that
a simple motion to adjourn Is to tho
next day at 10 A. M., would prevail. It
IS not likely that Speaker Meigs will try
to get a quorum together Monday morn'
ing.

the practice of extending the period of
graxmg permits to five years, wherever it
Is possible, thereby gmng a greater
degree of permanency to the Industry.
We commend tho work of the forestry
department in the construction of roads,
trails, bridges and telephone lines, and
pledge our earnest co-operation in the
maintenance of the same.
"We cammend as unwarranted the
practice of the forestry service In im
posing, without a trial of any charac
ter, burdensome fees upon grazers upon
forest reserves, under the pretext of
demands for damages consequent upon
a violation of the regulations for tres
pass, accompanied by the threat that in
default of payment within a brief
period the permit of the alleged of
fender will be revoked and his stock
driven off the reserve.
We urge upon Congress the neces
sity of the enactment of a law that will
empower the Secretary of Agriculture
to appoint proper forest servica In
spectors who shall be vested with the
power to summon witnesses, administer
oaths and take testlmany In the in
vestigation of any alleged wrong In the
National forest management."
Regarding Plnchot's refusal tu attend
Hie convention, the resolutions say:
We regret to learn by telegraphic
correspondence submitted) to this con
vention that the United States forester
has found occasion for exceptions in
he action or considerations heretofore
given him, or the service he represents,
by this association, probably individual
members thereof.
"It has been the purpose of this asso
ciation to treat all official representatives
of the Nation and stats with considera
tion due gentlemen and the office they
hold, and to discuss the questions involv
ing the great Industry we represent with
becoming dignity and In that honest.
frank, straightforward manner which we
ask of all those who oppose our views and
which become American citizenship.
'We feel that the honorable forester
has misinterpreted the motive and intent
of this association in former conventions
in a manner that has given unwarranted
offense to him. and that it reflects upon
the dignity, fairness and cahdor of this
association." '
The telegraphic correspondence referred
to in the resolution ' includes messages
supplemental to tha telegrams which re
cently passed between secretary Walker, j
of the National association, and Chief
Forester Plnchot, in which the latter said
in response to an Invitation to attend the
Pocatello convention that until such time
as tha association gave assurance of a
desire to discuss National forest mat
ters on broader and more unselfish
grounds than heretofore he would not
feel Justliled' In accepting an Invitation
to attend such convention.
Secretary Walker responded as fol
lows :
'The National association will be.
ready in convention at Pocatello or at
nv other place to discuss matters per
taining to the protection of the National
forests and conditions as ttiey actually
exist for the best Interest of the forests,
he state In which they are located and
the people in general."
To this Mr. fincnoi answerea:
"Situation remains unchanged. Until I
have additional evidence through formal
action ot the National Wool growers' As
sociation showing an earnest desire to
co-operate with the Forest 8?rvlce along
broader lines than heretofore. I must de

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. An innova

far as Europe Is concerned will be un

among the sufferers will be shelter.
President Roosevelt has decided to send
to Italy material for the construction
ot 2500 or 3000 substantial but modest
frame houses.
Kver since the appropriation waa
made, serious consideration has been
given by the President and the State
Department to the best use that could
be made of It in the way of relief.
A final decision was reached yester
day. Verbal instructions were given y
the President' to Secretary Newberry to
enlist the machinery of the Navy De

been able to make partial arrangements
for carrying out the President s orders.
