STATE OFFICIAL INJURED
Bank Examiner Bennett Among Vic
tims off Crash, Which Board off
Inquiry Finds Was Deliberate
Attempt to Wreck.
SALEM, Or., June 7. (Special.) As
the result of what Is believed to be a
daring attempt to wreck the train, five
persons were Injured, none seriously,
when the Willamette Limited, north
bound, of the Southern 'Pacific, was
hurled off the track near the Feeble
Mlnded Institute early today.
A board of inquiry late this after
noon, after an investigation of the
wreck, announced that it was due to
the removal of 26 spikes from the ties.
Prints on the clawbar found near the
track correspond with prints on the
spikes.
It also was found that spikes had
been removed from ties and thrown
more than 1000 yards from the scene
of the wreck.
lnnane Patient Suggested.
The work, it was suggested, prob
ably was done by an inmate of the
Feeble-Minded Institute or the Insane
Asylum.
A plnchbar found near the track hav
ing abrasions on its teeth correspond
ing to abrasions on 18 spikes, believed
to h.ve been removed before the wreck,
led to t'he suspicion that the accident
was due to a deliberate attempt to
wreck the train.
The Injured:
W. H. Bennett, state bank examiner;
left leg cut and bruised.
George Peebler, conductor; left shoul
der sprained and cut.
G. A. Rice, dining car conductor; left
hand cut.
Joseph Langford, news agent; cut on
head and shoulders.
Mrs. Isabel Wood, of Sweet Home;
head cut and bruised.
Engineer Acta Quickly.
The train was running at a rate of
35 miles an hour when J. Montgomery,
the engineer, noticed what he believed
was a kink in the track. He applied
the emergency brakes and the train
was slowing when the rails that had
been loosened were struck. The loco
motive, baggage car and the three pas
senger cars left the track, pounding
along for several hundred yards on the
ties.
The Impact caused the passengers to
be thrown violently from their seats,
and as the train beat along on the ties
they were shaken around like dice in
a box.
Sherman Miles, employed in the state
bank examiner's office, had a narrow
escape from being Injured, having been
hurled from one end of the car to an
other, landing in a heap with another
man. The cars having careened to an
angle of about 45 degrees it was with
difficulty that the passengers made
their exit when the train came to a
standstill. The men passengers ren
dered heroic service In removing the
women from the demolished coaches.
If the engineer had not seen the
faulty rails or what he thought was a
ktnk in one of them when he did, and
applied the emergency brakes in time.
It (is believed at least a score of per--sons
would have been killed.
Detectives at Work.
Salem physicians were summoned im
mediately and the injured persons re
ceived attention at the scene of the
accident. None was seriously enough
injured to be taken to the hospital.
The discovery of the pinch bar and
indications that spikes had been re
moved from the ties, caused the men
In charge of the train to take immedi
ate action looking to the capture of the
men supposed to be responsible for the
wreck.
Clews were given railroad detectives
but no arrests had been made late
tonight.
The clearing of the track was started
before noon and the obstruction had
been removed by 6 o'clock.

HARRY A. ANDREWS.
WOODLAND, Wash., May 31. (Special.) Harry A. Andrews, of
Woodland, has been a much-feted young man during the past fort
night, as he is the only male graduate of the Woodland High School
this year. Mr. Andrews, as an athlete and musician, is widely known
in this section, and enjoys an unusual personal popularity.
found in the grass are evidence of the
work of vandals.
"I am confident," said Mr. Campbell
last night, "that this accident was the
malicious attempt on the part of train
wreckers to derail one of our trains. A
circus train passed over the track
early yesterday morning and it is pos
sible that the culprits aimed at that.
'I am eager to have the guilty par
ties arrested and landed In the peni
tentiary. I will not hesitate a minute
to pay $5000 to the person who secures
the arrest of the guilty party."
In accordance with the policy of the
Southern Pacific, the board of inquiry
was composed of three disinterested
persons and three officials of the com
pany, who investigated every detail
surrounding the accident and its prob
able causes.
The board consisted of the following:
L. R. Fields, superintendent; F. M.
Slefer, assistant superintendent; R. O.
Morris, road foreman of engines; T. G.
Deckebach, vice-president of the Salem
Brewery Association; H. P. Minto, a
farmer, and Fred S. Bynon, a real es
tate man. The gist of the board's re
port was :
"We find the derailment was due to
some party or parties having malicious
ly removed the spikes. The board found
four spikes entirely removed and
thrown in the grass."
DAY BILL IS HELD

L
FOR young men, who go in strong for outdoor sports, for tennis,
golf, yachting and all the other things where you meet people
before whom you wish to appear well, there's nothing more important
than
Hart Schaffner & Marx
Clothes. You may be able to afford having your clothes made by a
high-class tailor, but there's no sense in doing so, when you buy these
clothes ready-made; the money you save on a suit or two of these goods
will pay for a good deal of sport golf balls, tennis racquets, etc.
But money-saving isn't the chief reason for buying
these Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes the real reason
is that you'll get better clothes than the average tailor
can produce; better materials, better styles, better
tailoring, better fit.
Ready clothes are first, not second, they're bet
ter, not "almost as good"; at $25 you can get a
mighty good suit, some less, some more.

The women and children had to be

"While there was some talk of train
wreckers or possibly the spreading of
the rails because of the heat, I am
afraid the accident was due to a few
poor ties- After the wreck I inves
tigated a stretch of the track and
found several apparently rotten ties.
The engineer said he elleved It was
the heat which caused the accident. We
were going about 45 miles an hour. In
our car was a man and his wife and

NEW CREAMERY OPERATING
Prairie City Co-operative Plant
Turns Out Excellent Product.
PRAIRIE CITY. Or., June 7. (Spe
cial.) After months and months of
planning and preparing. Prairie City
at last has entered the ranks of the
butter producing centers of Oregon and
the large volume of cream and milk
that formerly flowed rom this section
of the state to other markets now is
being marketed here and much of the
finished product consumed by persons
of this city and nearby neighborhoods.
The price paid to dairymen for their
cream is the same as that received
from outside companies previous to the
beginning of operations by the local
plant, and also it Is proving a great
convenience and time saver for the
cream producers.
The name selected for the brand of
butter manufactured here Is "John Day
Valley Marigold Butter" and It is de
clared to be of as good a grade as any
produced elsewhere. The first output
was a roll weighing 100 pounds.
The local plant is the result of a
campaign started many months ago
among persons of this section for a co
operative creamery and its promoters
feel that the success of the undertak
ing is assured.

SALEM, Or., June 7. (Special.)
Circuit Judge Galloway decided today
that the Day bill, providing for a spe
cial election for referendum measures
next November, is unconstitutional. The
decision is far from clearing a situa
tion that has caused state officials, and
particularly Secretary of State Olcott,
much thought. The decision was in con
nection with one declining to compel
the Secretary of State to file petitions
for reference of th bill regulating the
practice of dentistry. Judge Gallo
way held that the petitions were ir
regular in that they did not contain
a copy or the bill, but only the caption
Secretary of State Olcott said that he
did not consider the decision, that the
Day bill is unconstitutional final and it
was his present intention to call the
election for the other measures referred.
However, he believes that John A. Jef
frey. who filed the suit to compel him
to file the petitions in 'the dentistry
proposition, will appeal the case.
that he or some other person will file
suit to have him enjoined from calling
tne election.
Attorney-General Crawford is of
opinion the Day bill Is unconstitutional.
ana says there Is no question that th
Supreme Court will be called upon to
make a decision regarding it. He does
not know now, however, in what form
the proposition will be presented to the
highest court in the state.
other Measures May Wait.
If It Is declared unconstitutional bv
that tribunal the university bill, work
men's compensation act. Countv At
torney bill and sterilization bill will be
presented to the voters at the regular
election in 1914. All the petitions for
a reference of these measures stipulate
that snouja mere not he a special elec
tion the coming Kail the petitions be
niea as applying to the regular election
In .November.
An official declared today that there
was no question as to many names on
the petitions being fraudulent and ir
regular. He said an Investigation in
dicated that the same circulators had
obtained names for all petitions for all
the bills intended to be referred.
Harvey Beckwith and C. D. Bab-
cock, who were to have been named
commissioners under the workmen's
compensation act. also have examined
the petitions for a reference of that
measure and declare many of the names
are fraudulent. Mr. Babcock said he
was making the investigation more
through curiosity than anything else
and would not have the time to make
a fight to have them thrown out on the
ground of irregularity. Mr. Beckwith,
it is understood, may make such a
fight.
Initiative May Appear.
Another phase of a much-muddled
situation began today when W. S.
U'Ren, of Oregon City, telephoned Sec
retary of State Olcott that he Intended
to ask that Initiative measures be voted
upon at the special election. He said
that wpmen of Oregon City wanted a
bill providing for an eight-hour day for
working women initiated at the elec
tion. The Day bill provides that only
measures to be referred shall be voted
upon at the election, and Attorney-General
Crawford has so construed It. It
is believed Mr. ITRen probably con
templates filing a mandamus suit
against the Secretary of State to compel
him to file petitions for Initiative
measures. These may be filed 90 days
before an election.
The part of Judge Galloway's opinion
declaring the Day bill unconstitutional
is as follows:
"The act set out In chapter 321 of
the session of 1913 is not only special
but restrictive, as It confines the power
of the people under the referendum and
Initiative provision of our constitu
tion to the referendum of measures
passed by the legislature of 1913, but
denies them the right to Institute such
initiative measures as .they may deem
advisable and for the welfare of the
whole people. At the date of the pass
age of the said act there was no
STONE MAY REPLACE WOOD
Discovery of Quarries May Cause
Shanties to Disappear.
SILVER LAKE, Or., June 7. (Spe
cial.) Stone houses may replace the
regulation two-roomed shanties which
now form the abodes of homesteaders
on virtually every quarter section in
Christmas Lake and Silver lake valleys.
This is made possible by the discovery
by F. R. Bass of a half dozen stone
quarries on the side of Table Mountain.
Table Mountain and the Connolly hills
divide the two valleys and the quar
ries are easily accessible from either
side of the slope.
The substance uncovered by Mr. Bass
appears to be stone in the making'.
It is a mixture of clay and sand, which,
although not moist, hardens like ce
ment when exposed to the air. It is
easily sawed or chiseled out in cubes
of the proper size for building pur
poses. Old-timers of the valley say there
are similar quarries to the south and
northwest of the town of Silver Lake.
No stone has been taken from these
diggings for so many years that their
location was almost forgotten until
Mr. Bass made the discovery on Table
Mountain. The fireplace, chimneys and
foundation of the old house on the SO
ranch, owned by "Hi" Adams, of Port
land, were built of stone taken from
one of these workings; the same is
true of the buildings on the UR ranch,
owned by William H. Hayes, of Cal
ifornia; also the Chrisman and the
Martin homes in the town of Silver
Lake. But all of these buildings were
constructed a querter of a century ago.
i.ew settlers have erected chimneys of
stovepipe, sheet iron or tile, imported
at considerable expense.
The quarries found by Mr. Bass are
within the Fremont National forest re
serve and already several homestead
ers at the foot of Table Mountain are
preparing to build stone houses.
