Two miles from Newcastle, at a place called Chewton. Pa., the best train on the B. A O. road suddenly ran Into a mlspiared rail. Wreckers had re moved two fishplates, moved the north rail Inside, and had pulled out the spikes. The entire train was thrown from the track. The great speed with which it was traveling caused all the cars and the engine of the train to topple over on their sides tnd slip with force over a small embankment. Engineer John Dill and Baggageman John Wheatcroft were horribly crushed, death being, Instantane ous. Of the 30 or 50 passengers hurt, many of them are in a serious condition.

The officials are Inclined to bellvve the holdup at Lewistown. Pa., early Tuesday morning actuated today's wreck. It was almost two hours after the wreck before any reports could be had. Relief trains carrying all available phy sicians were rushed to the scene. Passen gers were sitting around the wrecked cars bleeding from cuts and brui?s. A drizzling rain was falling. A train was loaded with the most seriously Injured and rushd to the Newcastle Hospital. Dr. F. M. Wagner drove a mile and a half to tha scene. He said: "I fully expected to find 25 or more persons dead. The heavy Pullman cars, baggage cars, day coaches and the en gine were lying on their sides. Passen gers were sitting about the track, many only clad In their night clothing. The wreckage blocked trains both east and west. It was hours before the physicians could dress the injuries of the panic stricken passengers, many of whom be came almost crazed by their experiences!. "The Injured were laid on the rough rock ballast, and by the weird light of torches and lanterns the doctors worked liastily. Several of the Injured nearly bled to death before the relief trains arrived." HAXD GREXADES QCEXCH FIRE Further Casualties Averted by the Train Crew. NEWCASTLE. Pa.. Sept. 4. Follow ing the wreck of the flyer, when the derailed train took fire in a number of places, survivors of the crew-quenched the flames with hand-grenades. The Injured were placed on the rough bal last of the roadbed and a hrakeman was sent back to Chewton Siding, where the first flash of the disaster was sent out. Reasons for the wreck are-few today. The loosened fishplates and pulled spikes, however, are mute evidence that some one skilled In railroading Is re sponsible for. the disaster. Secret serv ice men on the scene refuse to divulge the result of their Investigations BLOODHOt'XDS PICK CP TRAIL Trace Train-Wreckers to Edge of f Village. WAMPUM. Pa., Sept. 4. Bloodhounds reached here at i oon today on the trail of the perpetrators of the wreck of the Royal Blue Limited. The dogs. In charge of B. & O. ' special police. picked uj the scent from a- sledge hammer found near the scene of the wreck.

Over a hundred detectives are here tonight, straightening out a maze of bewildering clews that may lead to the discovery of the person or persons responsible for the ditching at Cheton of the Royal Blue Limited. The consensus of opinion was ex pressed by one of the B. & O. police when he said: ' "The train wreckers are In the vlcln Ity of Newcastle. They have not at tempted to flee, nor will they." It is generally believed that the work was either that of experienced railway men or of persons familiar with the op eration ' of the railway and its train schedules. All of the Injured at the local hospitals will recover. Seventeen persons are be ing cared for at the railway company's expense. Late today J-H.000 was deposited at a local bank by railway secret service men to the credit of Henry Millard, of La Farge. Wis., who lies Injured at the Bhehango Sanitarium.

ADVANCE 111 PRICE OF LOGS PLANNED Dealers Believe Conditions Will " "Warrant Higher Scale This Fall. SPIRITED MEETING HELD Situation Is Thoroughly Reviewed at Session of Columbia Asso elation Held in Commer cial Club. Despite the reduction of the tariff on lumber, the members of the Columbia River Loggers' Association yesterday de clared their intention of raising the price on logs in the Fall, as soon as the busi ness picks up again. At a spirited meet ing held yesterday afternoon in the con vention hall of the Commercial Club, the logging situation was discussed minutely by the loggers and all expressed a belief that the business would pick up in a few months to warrant a price advance. A definite resolution to raise the price of logs was recently passed by the Wash ington Log Brokers' Company, with head quarters in Seattle. This company handles the sale of at least 70 per cent of the logs on Puget Sound. President Brix. of the- Columbia River Loggers' Association, said last night that the Columbia River Company was work ing toward united action with the Seattle organization and further said: Will Handle Entire Supply. "We expect to be able ourselves to handle the sale of all the logs on the Co lumbia River and its tributaries. We are now working toward the perfection of a scheme which will give us the power of marketing all the logs and thus give us a chance to fix the price. While I expect an Increase in the prices by the members of the association, I do not think it can be encompassed within the next 30 days, but then some definite action may be ex pected?' H. C. Clair, a member of the commit tees of publicity and general Information, said: "The loggers feel that their business will partake In the general prosperity very soon and hope to make up somewhat for the two years of dull business Just passed through. Everything the loggers buy. such as mill supplies, have advanced In price and the expectation is that It will be necessary to raise the price of lumber and logs this Fall. "If business picks up so that the mills will run nights, as well as days, it will be necessary for all the logging camps to run full time and with a full crew to supply the demand. Many of the larger camps are now starting with a half force, owing to the" light demand for lumber, but this condition Is not expected to be permanent." Members Are All Hopeful. This statement by Mr. Clair reflects the general opinion of the members In at tendance at the meeting. All expressed a feeling that the market would soon be buoyant. It was shown that at present there Is a normal supply of logs on hand, but that the great majority are not avail able at present on account of low water in the creeks. When the Fall rains start In the entire supply will soon be available. It was shown that about one-half the supply is In the hands of four concerns, these being the Lewis River Logging Company, the Shevlin Logging Company, the Cowlitz County Logging Company and the Clark County Timber Company. All the loggers present expressed much alarm on account of the extreme hot weather and strong east winds that have been prevailing and the fear was stated that if this weather continues immense quantities of standing timber may be de stroyed by fire. Several of the loggers stated that if they had not already started operations they would not do so at this time. All work has been cur tailed by small fires, which have broken out and which take both time and men to extinguish. Locomotives burning wood and coal operating through the timber, donkey engines and carelessness were given as the chief causes of these fires. At the meeting yesterday a plan was proposed to organize an Independent log scaling and grading bureau, half owned by the millmen and half by the loggers, to standardize the method of scaling and grading logs so as to exclude the old method of changing the scale every time tha price changed. A draft of the articles of incorporation as proposed will have to be passed upon by both the loggers and the millmen before nnal action, rso aen nite action relative to this was taken yesterday. DENMARK HONORS DR. COOK (Continued From First Page.) Cook's character and former achieve ments. Only after consulting them con fidentially and receiving the fullest pro nouncement of their belief in the1 gen uineness of his feat did the Danish gov ernment by today's reception give its offi cial seal to Dr. Cook's good faith. The banquet this evening was held in the magnificent municipal building. Four hundred persons, many of them ladles, attended, while thousands congregated In the streets In a drenching rain to catch sight of the explorer when he entered. There was a preliminary reception In the lofty and spacious entrance hall. The company marched up stairs to the air of 'The Star-Spangled Banner." After ait had been seated the Minister of Com merce, Johansen, escorted Dr. Cook to the chair of honor amid a demonstra tion that caused him to color deeply. Minister Egan sat at Dr. Cook's right, with the Mayor of Copenhagen and Miss Egan beyond. Mrs. Gemel, a wealthy Copenhagen lady, who has contributed extensively to Arctic exploration and has been closely Identified with It. was at the chairman's left. The menu, bore a lithograph of the crown Prince greeting Dr. Cook and a map of the Arctic Circle, giving Dr. Cook's route and a facsimile of his autograph, with the date, which was a reproduction of a souvenir he gave Miss Egan. Speeches Teem With Praises. The speeches teemed with compliments to Dr. Cook. The Mayor of Copenhagen said that a name was once more enrolled among the great explorers. MiniBter Egan briefly proposed a toast to the King of Denmark, and the corporation- president, in proposing a toast to the President of the United States, spoke of the pride that must be felt by the Nation that could boast that it was her son who first plant ed the flag where no human being had ever before set foot. The Minister of Commerce. In proposing the health of Dr. Cook, paid a warm tribute to "his noble deed." He thanked him for spending a little time in Den mark and said that the privations of the explorer were appreciated most by the men of Denmark there tonight, whose names are written with honor on the ice rocks of Denmark's northern colony. When the nation was first thrilled by the news of Cook's exploit, he said, he ust confess there was some skepticism but, as it was confirmed, he hoped that Dr. Cook would try for the South Pole with the same success. When the Minister raised his glass to "Our Noble Guest" there were nine hurrahs. Commodore Hovgaard spoke from the standpoint of an expert explorer and commended Cook's methods. Dr. Cook replied briefly, saying: Gives Credit to Eskimo and Dogs. "I thank you very much for the warm and eloquent words, but I am unable to express myself properly. It was a rather hard day for me, but I never enjoyed a day better. The Danes have taken no active part in polar explora tions, but they have been of much Im portance as -silent partners In almost all Arctic expenditions in recent years. The most Important factor in my ex pedition was the Eskimo and doe- world, and I cannot be too thankful to the Danes for the care of the Eskimo and know they have instituted a "mission at Cape York. "Had I not met with the right Eski mo and the right dogs and the right provisions, I 'could never have reached the pole. I owe much to the Danish nation for my success." A telegram was-read conveying the congratulations of the King of Sweden "for a brilliant deed, of which American people may be rightly proud." Toasts to Eskimo. Toasts to Mrs. Cook and to the Eskimo of the party were drunk. Two hundred students In uniform marched tn when the company returned to Grand Hall and gave Dr. Cook a rous ing cheer. They insisted upon a speech and sang songs. A noteworthy feature of the banquet after Dr. Cook's acceptance in the morning was that the applications for seats reached into the thousands. The famous explorer, Sverdrup ar rived here tonight from Christiana to greet Dr. Cook. He said to a corre spondent: "I have no doubt whatever that Dr. Cook reached the pole. He could not have had a better equipment than Eskimo and Eskimo dogs." JAP NAVY FALLS BEHIND COUNCILLOR ASKS FOR DREADNOUGHTS. 15 War Estimate Cut, but Increased Sum Will Be Used for Aerial Study. VICTORIA, B. C. Sept- 4. According to advices brought by the steamer Cyclops, which reached port today from Yokohama, an agitation is prevailing for a large Increase of the Japanese navy. Mr. Yamakawa, Councillor of the Navy Department,' stated that Japan must build and quickly 16 Dreadnoughts. Ha said: "At present the naval power of a coun try Is calculated on the basis of battle ships of the Dreadnought type It pos sesses, and if Japan were to imitate the policy of the British navy half of her present warships would be withdrawn from commission. While other nations are building Dread noughts, Japan has only one ship of that type, the Satsuma, a vessel inferior to the Dreadnought type, and two new battle ships under construction. The naval rivalry and progress of the Orient will compel Japan to have at least 15 ships of the Dreadnought type." The Toklo Yamato reports that the War Department's estimate for next year will provide for the expenditure of $40,000,000, a decrease of over J2,500.000 from this year. An increased appropriation is provided for building forts in Tokio Bay, and for study of balloons and aeroplanes. CRUELTY IS CHARGED MRS. JOHNSTON M'CULLEY SUES FOR DIVORCE.

Hancock stopped the Sealer Evans fight here tonight, in the fourth round, and on the advice of Mayor Con nell. the management refunded the gate receipts to the 300 fight fans. Just before the men stepped Into the ring. Referee Jack King announced that the contest would be a ten-round sparring exhibition, and not a prizefight, but in the fourth round. Scaler began to punish his opponent severely, and Sheriff Han cock insisted the affair must coma to an end. Immediately there was a clamor from the 200 fight fans gathered in the theater to have their money refunded. While this matter was under discussion, an enthu siastic fight fan from Portland started to raise a rough house. He bolted for the door when Sheriff Hancock pushed his way into the throng, and escaped across a vacant lot to an Oregon Electric car. The officer sent several bullets after the fugitive, but they are not believed to have reached their mark. Bob Evans, the San Francisco boxer, proved the more clever of the fighters, but he was an easy mark for the vicious blows delivered by Kid Scaler, of Spo kane, who pursues a Battling Nelson method In the ring. It was evident that Scaler could have floored his man with ease had he not been restrained by the Sheriff. Both men weighed in at ISO pounds. VALUE OF TUBERCULIN Pharmacist Says It Cures White Plague in Cattle and Humans. PORTLAND. Sept. 8. (To the Editor.) Permit a stranger within your gates to correct a wrong Impression made by a cor respondent in today's Oregonlan. I refer to a communication which severely criticizes the use of Koch's tuberculin as a test for tuberculosis In cattle. Ths criticism appears to be prompted by want of Information on the part of the correspondent. It is "assumed that actual germs of tuberculosis are Injected into the veins of the cattle as a test, thus begetting tuber culosis in the living animal. Therein lies the error. Koch's tuberculin does not contain tuberculosis germs. It Is an extract made from a culture ot the germs and from which all of the germs have been Altered. It no more contains live germs capable of re production, than beef soup contains a live steer. Hence, the Injection of tuberculin Into a cow's veins cannot produce tubercu losis In the cow. I do not know where the correspondent obtained the Information as to the Introduction of the dUease into J. P. Morgan's herd by the use of tuberculin. I doubt its truth. It is probably the careless statement of some prejudiced enemy of scientific methods. But even ir it were true that some careless veterinary in the use of a new remedy, and falling to fully under stand Its use. did not succeed, is it suffiolent reason to condemn the whole theory? Oust as logically refuse to even ride on a steamer from Portland to Alaska because the steam went down, and ignore the fact of hun dreds of safe voyages made every day. Appreciating the wide circulation and Influence of The Oregonlan. I should like to emlaln the theory of the use of tuber culin. I believe it is destined to stamp out tuberculosis In all domestic animals, and not at all unlikely in man also. When an animal receives an injury of any kind, either Internal or external, to that spot Immediately rushes an extra sup ply of blood, of which the red corpuscles do the repairing and the white corpuscles repel any invading germs or destroy them by eating them up. These white corpuscles are the scavengers of the system. It is their duty to eat up or destroy all foreign germs. When an animal contracts tuberculosis or any other germ disease, there negins this battle between the white corpuscles and the Invading germs. It the white corpuscles win, the animal survives. If the Invading germs win, the animal dies. Now, Nature must receive some official notice of the in vasion of the foreign enemy. The latter Itself does this. If a man is shut up in & closed room he soon uses up the oxygen and charges the air with carbon dioxide. If the carbon dioxide could, be removed without any access of oxygen, animation would be suspended, but the man would not die. But the poisonous carbon dioxide he secret ed would kill him, if left In the closed room. Now, the notice to Nature to send out a supply of extra white corpuscles to light the enemy, comes through the offal of the tuberculosis germ, a toxin, as it Is called, corresponding roughly to the carbon diox ide of the man's lungs. This gets promptly into the circulation, carried all through the system and at once stimulates the produc tion of new white corpuscles. Tuberculin is the toxic offal, or secsetlon of the tubercular germ, sounding a loud. Insistent call to the system to come to the rescue. If the animal has the disease, then begins the battle, hence the reaction or "fever" as It Is called. If there be no tuberculosis present, there is no battle and no fever or reaction. There is no more dan ger of begetting tuberculosis by the use of tuberculin, than there would be of growing feathers by feeding soup to chickens. Let me go still a little further. There la strong reason to believe that In the near future tuberculin will be used as a real cure for consumption In the human. It is being used to a limited extent now by a few men especially trained in Its use. These men. fearful of being misunderstood and of the lamentable results of premature an nouncement, are going Quietly about their work, securing experience and getting on firm ground. Some of them, physicians of the highest standing, are now willing to admit marked benefits from Its careful use. and some actual cures. But beware of the charlatan and quack. A. N. PEASE, Member of Nebraska Pharmacy Board and of the American Pharmaceutical Associa tion. ARTILLERY OFF TO FORT First Company, O. N. G., to Join Regulars at Stevens. ASTORIA. Or.. Sept 4. (Special.)
