In the parlor of the Chinese Rescue
home, at 350 .Fourteenth street. occu-
pled .by. Rev., and' Mrs. W." 8. Holt, two
Chow Sheem, the young Chinese girl
who recently escaped from the clave
house kept by Moy Bun at 22S Pino
street, and sought refuge in the home,
was married to Um Tow, a young
Chinaman who chooses to be known
v under the American name of Charlie L.
Yee. , Rev.", Mr. Holt of the mission
performed K the , ceremony. Followln
the ceremony both bride and groom
mysteriously disappeared, and up. to it
late hour this afternoon federal officials
armed with a warrant for the arrest of
the girl have been 'unable to locate
them. The . warrant charges that the
girl is an Illegal resident of the coun
try and the Immigration department Is
anxious to deport her.
While It1 was originally supposed that
the girl fled from the slave house to
escape the . barbarities , that were In
flicted upon her, It now becomes1 appar
ent that a romance was the primary in
centive, and It was to frustrate a, sus
pected elopement that the warrant was
issued by the authorities today. .
-Whera: the couple has fled is a ques
tion which perplexes the officials. Mrs.
W, 8. Holt, the matron of the home,
appears to be the only persons , that
knows, and. Mrs. Holt is said to be out
of the city .,.'. ,
Rev. Mr. Holt .admitted that he per
formed the ceremony., but when quesv
tloned by a. deputy United; States mar
shal denied all knowledge of the. where
abouts of the girl.' He volunteered the
Information that his wife would return
to the city late this evening, and that
she would know where the couple had
gone. ' ; V'v'
In the. marriage license, Chow Sheem's
name is given 'as Sou To, but she ha
not been known by- the latter .: name
since she left her home in China.' She
was smuggled into the country under
the name of Moy Tut Gum, and was
given the-name of Chow Sheem in the
slave house.
: A Tangled Web. , '
lilm Tow, husband of the girl, is. la
a measure responsible for all her
trouble. It was at his advice, it . is
asserted,' that his sweetheart picked up
sufficient courage -to flee from the slave
house. But in rescuing her from her
Chinese . persecutors, it now appears
that the young man hits encountered
difficulties of an even .more serious na
turewhich threaten an abrupt ending
of the romance and deportation of his
sweetheart. '
Kidnaped into slavery during child
hood, according to her own story, and
forced to a slave house in a foreign
langi Chow Sheem had come to believe
that there is no good in the world, and
that America particularly : was .- the
abode of revelry and crime. Then ap
peared Um Yow, and she fell in love. '
Then TQUnf Llm. Van mnild til hll

who suggested that the girl - escape to
the Chinese : Reseue-home, After the
affair had blown over, and the pursuers

' Moy Bunvthreatened to force the girl
(o return to the slave house, by bring
ing forth her ' father and instituting
habeas' corpus proceedings. Moy Sam
Sing of Seattle was claimed to be the
father, and it looked as if the plot
might succeed.
In anger and despair, Chow Sheem
disowned the purported father, and at
the same time gave information which
will now probably result in her de
portation, and separation . from her
sweetheart.
Bhe had been smuggled into the
country, she said, as the daughter' of

San Francisco, Deo. 24. Weary from
a search of four states, but undaunted
in his determination to find his deceiv
ing wife, I, B. Small, a hotel man of Os
wego, Or., arrived in this city late last
night He , was -at the hall of justice
bright and early this morning to confer
with the polio,.; Small Is not vicious, in
his pursuit, but desires to And his rec
reant spouse so that he can persuade her
to abandon a man named John Grant,
with whom Mrs. Small eloped from
Portland some time ago. Small says he
wlll.do-.what he can. for the. woman for
his children's . sake. He says the ' man
Grant. will go to Jail if he has to trail
him to theSend of the earth. . -'
In December, 1902, Grant worked on
the railroad near Oswego and met Mrs.
Small,,, who is a young,' good-looking
and quiet woman.,? 8he seemed, to 'be
hypnotised by Grant,' and her infatua
tion led to many meetings .with him and
her subsequent' disappearance.' ' v,
F.rom Oswego the Smalls removed to
Portland about six months ago. In Au
gust of this year the elopement took
place.' . , , t
- Small traced the couple to The Dalles,
and from there to Astoria and Seattle.
After 26 nights, and days of continuous
search he located' the erring ones at Me
Murray, Wash. Before he could reach
that town, however,-they, had taken their
departure, and then he lost all trace of
them.' ; - ; ;,
Small was informed-that a' couple an
swerlng their description had been seen
in British Columbia. He visited the
leading towns in the northern province,
but- failed to find a clue. He then
searched Eastern Washington and Idaho.
Searched Montana.
Small next turned his steps toward
Montana, and after making a thorough
search of that state, returned to Seattle
and took a steamer to this city. Ac
companying him on his remarkable pur
suit are his three children two boys
and a girl.
Mr. Small plainly sUted today that
he had no Intention of harming his wife
if he found her, but in reply to a ques
tion relative to What action he would
take If he encountered Grant he said
something about not missing his first
shot. ' --- -. --.;
- Small Is a middle-aged man of good
address, and determination is expressed
in every feature. . He looks fatigued
after his long Journey, but declares that
he will continue the search.
He Is particularly anxious to And his
wife so as to make a property settlement
with her and then send the woman to
her relatives at Gervals. Or. ..Small has
sent out circulars describing the man and
woman to all parts of the United States
and Canada, and is now sending them
to other parts of the world, offering a
reward. for any substantial information.
He keeps his little children well dressed

rtttsburg, Fa,, Deo. 24. An appalling
accident occurred about o'clock last
night on the Baltimore Ohio railway
two miles west of Dawson, a -small vil
lage 40 miles from this city.
Sixty-nve. lives . are reported, lost this
morning and the list may grow, 'as many
are, so seriously injured that their deaths
are expected.
The Duquesne Limited, the fastest train
running between here and New York, was
speeding at a 60-mile-an-hdur clip, when,
turning a sharp curve, a ear loaded with
huge bridge timbers ; was seen on , the
track. Air brakes were applied so sud
denly that passengers were thrown from
their seats."'":: -;.- .-
Then came an awful crash, a' moment
silence, then shrieks and death groans.
The engine had plowed into the ob
struction and was demolished. The tender
was thrown 100 feet to the side, two bag
gage cars and two day coaches, were tele
scoped and at once caught Are. . The un
fortunates who had escaped death by not
being mangled had their life burned out
Then came the rescue work. Those
persons not Injured had occupied seats In
the Pullman and sleeping coaches which
followed the - wrecked cars. .They did
what they could for the bruised and
mangled survivors. Many were found
pinioned beneath trucks and others were
covered with burning debris. '..! ,
The night was dark and cold and work
ers were greatly handicapped in the ef
forts of succor. ,
The accident was reported to Connells
ville, nine miles sway, and immediately
a relief train was dispatched to the fear
ful scene. Every available physician and
nurse wag aboard. r .;. .
' Arriving at the wreck at 9 o'clock a
horror was presented. Dead bodies were
lying In rows on each side of the tracks
where they had been placed by the rescue
party. On one side "were 41 and on the
other 12. More were added as the work
progressed.
The Injured were taken into the relief
coach and carried back to the hospital at
Connellsvtlle. v '
Thomas J. Baum,; the baggagemaster
of the wrecked train, escaped with fright
ful bruises, notwithstanding . which he
walked half a mile down the track and
signalled the. westbound train, which
would ' have otherwise collided on : the
curve as the fast train had done, ' His
aet was a brave one.
This morning at 8 o'clpck 85 bodies are
lying in the morgue at Connellsvtlle.
Work of identification goes slowly, so
badly mangled and ; burned are the re
mains.';;.." ' i ' , ; . ;-. f '' ' .
Most of those killed and seriously In
jured -were immigrants.' . The few not
hurt among them began robbing their
dead and maimed companions so soon
as they could get to them. , ,:
An, official statement as to the true'
cause of the accident, or rather why the
timber car was allowed to .stand upon the
track when the approach of the limited
was known, has not yet been given out
and will not be until a thorough Investi
gation is made. . : Y
Four arrests were made at Dawson
this morning of persons charged with
robbing the dead. Two are white men
and two colored. w

estimate of the deaths In the Baltimore

At noon it was ascertained that there
are 8 deaths with three dying in the
hospitals. Of these 63 are identified. It

A, I- Craig, general passenger agent
of the Oregon Railroad ft Navigation
company, this morning made the above
statement when asked about i exposition)

"The railroads at St' Louis seem t
have taken a firm stand on this mat

question will be considered at the meet
ing of the passenger men next month.
I doubt If the railroads will make any

tbo ticket broker is permitted to flourish,.
-iy Same Tains; ia Oregon.-';
' "The people of Oregon are up against'
the same proposition and the railroads
can hardly be expected to work In' every
way possible for the welfare of the lo
cal fair if they are to be robbed. Why
should the Northern Pacific, that has al
ready all the business -from-the East U

son, put in a low' rate and lose all- the
regular returns when-ticket-brokers here
In Portland can buy the return, tickets
for a eonr and sell them to people of
the city wishing to make an eastern
trip? 1 Why should the O. R. & N. in
terfere with its . tourist - business and
offer' otie-fare 'rate - for the roumltrlp.
when' brokers reap the benefit and th
company stands the loss? Reciprocity
Ik a tmnA thin v.n between railroads
and the public." -
. "We are working on individual cases
chiefly and have several brokers be
hind the bars, but conviction is hard to
secure. In Chicago we discovered a fel
low who plied his work of changing
ticket dates, altering names and pasting
up punch marks in a vault. Of course
in such a case no eye-witnesses could
be summoned and though there was all
the circumstantial evidence .needed to
hang a man there was no conviction.
At present a big fight , is being carried
on in a - Pennsylvania city against a
broker, who has been indicted on nu-
merous charges of ticket forgery. The
convicting of Individuals is slow work;
and state measures are needed, but whea
we get them the defense is made that
the state cannot Interfere with broker
selling tickets to other states since
this lies in the realms of Interstate,
commerce, laws, and again we meet au
stone wall.
. Failure of national Zw. j
' "We tried to get a national law ana
finally did get such a measure through,
the house of representatives, but it wa
delayed in its passage until so near the
end of the session that it never cam
before the senate. In the house are nu
merous representatives who make a pop
ular play by opposing any act that en
ables a' corporation to protect itself from
wholesale theft and these always are oh
structlonlsts. ;;;
. "I don't know what measures can bet
taken to effectively stop this brokers
work.1- In Canada It Is prohibited. - but
legislation comes slowly and popular
sentiment seems to be with the broker toy
many cases In this country. The rail
roads will certainly refuse toglve spe
cial rates and large concessions to pub-
lie enterprise If they must doubly lose
both in the cutting of rates to their
regular patrons and by the manipulation
of the broker. ... The refusal to grant
special rates, however, ,1s a club that
will arouse much popular disapproval
and hard feeling and the roads hesitate
to use It, but the time seems to have
come to make a stand."
