GIVES UP ITS DEAD THIRTY-ONE BODIES RECOVEftfltjD cars IN 'RIVER. ' SCORE MORE STILL IN CARS Casualties in Canadian Pacific Wreck Undetermined--More Than $0 Injured Are in Hospitals--Heroic Conductor Saves Eiflht Passengers. Sudbury, Oat.--The scene of Fri­ day's Canadian Pacific wreck at Span­ ish river presented an almost hopeless field of labor for the hundred or more men sent to clear away the wreckage and recover the victims' bodies. Three big dray loads of coffins were walUog Sunday to receive the bodies of up­ ward of two score victims. Thirty-one bodies had been recov­ ered Sunday and it is believed there are still a score or more in the sub­ merged cars. Two of the decked cars, the colon­ ist car and the first-class coach, whose ventilators were visible above the water, drifted under the bridge during the day and finally were sub­ merged, while thick ice has formed above them, making it difficult to lo­ cate them. The dining car is partly submerged in the river, and little re­ mains of the coach which took fire. More than thirty Injured were taken to the General hospital and the hotels of Sudbury. The number of bodies lying in the cars, may not be known for many days. Among passengers unaccounted for 4re Rev. Mr. Childhouse, Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Auditor Robertson of the Canadian Pacific railroad. The wreck occurred on a 200-foot steel bridge with overhead girders and a 30-foot embankment sloping down to the Spanish river underneath. The engine and three cars had passed sately upon the bridge when the forward trucks of the second-class coach jumped the track and struck an immense steel girder with such force as to snap the girder in two and split the car as if divided with a cleaver. The rear of the second-class coach swerved out to one side, pulling the colonist car, first-class coach and diner off the bridge into the river and tipping over the Pullman beside the track. In the dining car occurred one of the greatest struggles men ever made to save their lives. The first call for dinner had just been made and Con­ ductor Thomas Reynolds of North Bay was one of the diners. With him were W. J. Bell, a lumberman of Sudbury; David Brodie, police magistrate of the district of Sudbury, and several oth­ ers. In an instant all were in the water above their heads. Reynolds exhorted the passengers to hang on to the hat racks, chandeliers and other projec­ tions and, diving into the icy waters, he broke through a window and emerged on the outside of the car. By the merest chance the car had listed sufficiently to allow him to get up between the ice and the car. Climb­ ing up to the roof, he reached in and pulled Alfonso Rouse], six years old, of the Canadian Soo, and Police Mag­ istrate Brodie of Sudbury, a small man, through the ventilators. The others were too large. No ax was available and with almost superhuman strength Reynolds, aided by those in­ side, tore a hole in the roof, through which eight passengers escaped--all who came out of the water alive with the exception of Brakeman Morrison, who was at the rear of the first-class coach, and another man who managed to reach the surface. ' The first to come through the roof of the dining car was W. J. Bell of Sudbury. He is resting in his home, but 30 stitches were required to close his wounds. Police Magistrate Brodie has three broken ribs and his face and scalp are terribly cut. He Is con­ fined to the General hospital. Con­ ductor Reynolds was bruised and cut, but was able to return to his home at North Bay. The chef and waiters of the diner were trapped in a small compartment of the car, but %ere res­ cued. Tom Taggart Wounded. Natchez, Miss.--Thomas Taggart of Indianapolis, Ind., national Democratic committeeman for that state and for­ mer national Democratic chairman, was accidentally shot while hunting quail near here by his private secre­ tary, Harry Norton.

Walsh out of a cell for two years after^ he was proved a felon have prevailed. John R. Walsh, convict No. 6,861, is enjoying practically every luxury that was enjoyed by Walsh, the possessor of $40,000,000 and an income that* could satisfy the wishes of any hu­ man being. From the moment that Walsh%" passed the threshold of the great na-^ tional penitentiary those influences^ were evident Walsh was not com­ pelled to pose for a "rogue's gallery" picture. His measurements were not taken for the Bertillion system. He has not been forced to eat of the coarse fare nor off the common wood­ en tables of the 996 other convicts. But of greatest importance, Walsh has not and probably will not be com­ pelled to sleep in one of the iron-1 grated cells during all of his five years' stay at the prison. Even in the matter of labor, Walsh has been peculiarly favored. While other federal offenders, including near­ ly a score of former millionaires and bankers, are handling brick and saw­ ing stone, Walsh will be reading the newspapers. His daily task will be to handle newspapers and clip "crim- inal news" to be pasted into a book provided for the purpose.

INVESTIGATE PACKERS Grand Jury Will Inquire Into Charges , .That National Packing Com* :::y,- • > ^fefelngton.--The governiifeit ts' preparing to summon the Chicago beef trust to the bar of justice. Criminal prosecution Is contemplat­ ed and if the plans do not go astray some of the men responsible for jthe rapidly increased cost of living will he landed behind the bars. This information was obtained here in connection with an announcement that the attorney general has received a full report of the investigation which he recently ordered into the re­ lations existing between the National Packing Company of Chicago and Swift & Co., Armour'ft Co. and Morris & Co., the three concerns which joint­ ly control the National Packing Com­ pany. 1 Within a couple of weeks, or as soon as the details can be arranged, the at­ torney general will institute a grand jury proceeding in Chicago, the intent of which is to ascertain whether or not the National Packing Company Is a combination in restraint of trade un­ der the Sherman anti-trust law. Inas­ much as the grand jury proceedings are only resorted to where criminal proceedings are contemplated, the in­ ference Is plain, though Mr. Wicker- sham will make no statement that his hope is to land somebody in jail. That the beef trust is alarmed over the outlook is also evident, because it is known that agents of the trust learned that a report on its operations had been received here in advance of the information being made public. It was the fact that the trust had got hold of this information that brought out the story of the contemplated pro­ ceedings. Wade H. Ellis, assistant to the attor­ ney general, is holding himself in read­ iness to start immediately for Chicago if. circumstances, as shown by the re­ port, seem to require his presence. Until he gets that report Mr. Ellis will not know what his personal rela­ tions to the case are to be, but the de­ partment of justice is determined that the pending prosecution will not fail from lack of any or all the legal talent at the command of the government. ALLEGE THEY LOOTED ROAD Charged in Civil Bill That Three Prominent Chicagoans Obtained $850,000 Railroad Money. Chicago.--Purchases of millions of dollars' worth of real estate by the Chicago & Western Indiana railroad for a new depot and freight yards may be held up pending the Investigation by State's Attorney Way- man into real estate deals through which Benjamin Thomas, former pres­ ident of the road; John C. Fetzer and Charles II. Kappes, real estate deal­ ers, are aleged to have obtained $850,- 000 of the railroad company's money for their own purses. The three men, two of them repre­ sentatives of the railroad, are accused of obtaining titles to real estate sought by the railroad and then of turning the properties over to the road at prices far above the actual pur­ chase prices and putting the differ­ ence In their pockets. Sometimes, ac­ cording to the bill filed in. the civil suit Wednesday, the railroad was charged twice what the property cost Whether the charges against the three men will be taken before the grafid jury State's Attorney Wayman would not say. Denial of the charges was made by Fetzer and Kappes. The former said all his transactions with the road had been made in good faith. Flint, Mich., Leads in Postal Gains.

Future 'Prosecution Depends m U. S ,„> • fvpreme Court Declsioir in Standard Oil and Tobatih : / ^ ' co Cases. , _ Washington.--If the suits pending In the United States supreme court are decided in favor of the govern­ ment the administration will at once institute proceedings against a large number of corporations organized along the same lines as the Standard Oil Company and the American TO- .bacco Company. This statement was made Monday on high authority as representing the Intention of President Taft. So con­ fident is the administration that it will be victorious in the Standard Oil and. Tobacco cases that agents of tbe department of justice are now at work making a thorough investigation 'of many of the corporations against which suits will be filed shortly after the supreme court renders its de­ cision. The prosecution of the beef trust is only the beginning of the campaign which the president is , preparing to wage against the trusts, it is declared. It is known that the president has had this program in mind for several weeks. It is also known that some ol • the most influential men in Wall street have beseeched the president to abandon his trust-busting cam­ paign. Many members of congress have sought to dissuade the president, but after deliberate study he has re­ fused to yield to corporation repre­ sentatives. There is a possibility that members of congress will attempt to head off the president by amendments to the Sherman, anti-trust law. There have been several conferences recently for the purpose of arriving at a decision as to the best method to so modify the Sherman anti-trust law that it would permit existing combinations to continue. No definite conclusion has as yet been arrived at. Some of the leaders are fearful that if the subject is once opened up to amendment, the law, instead of being modified, will be made more radical than at present, and for this reason they hesitate to risk the introduction of legislation modifying the law. Mr. Taft takes the position that no corporation which observes the law need be in the least alarmed, and -that if there Is any injury to business be­ cause infringements of the law are corrected, the injury cannot be per­ manent. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in his testimony before the congressional committee which is investigating the rise In the price of foodstuffs in the Dis­ trict of Columbia, Monday declared that American farm products are sold cheaper abroad than they are In this country. He intimated that the trusts were to blame, but declined to go into any lengthy explanation because the in­ vestigation which he is conducting has not yet been completed. He also blam&d the high costlof living to this, together with the exorbitant profits demanded by the /retail dealers. He prescribed as one remedy for the evil, a return to the farm. Mor£ farm- ' ers, and more intelligent farming, he declared, would greatly remedy coa­ litions. •* Chicago.--The beef trust investiga­ tion is now under way before the United States grand jury. Subpoenas were served Monday by special agents of the district attorney's office on a number at employes of packing con­ cerns. BANKER ROBBED OF $28,000 Two Women Are Heid on $30,000 Bond Charged with Holding Up New York Financier. New York.--Warner M.

With the arraignment of Bessie Roberts, alias Kitty Dowdell of Chi­ cago, and Annie Williams, alias "Chi­ cago Maggie," Monday came the stQj-y of politeness that cost Mr. Van Nor­ den his pocketbook. Mr. Van Norden left the hotel and was about to enter his auto when he Baw two women walking along Fifth avenue. One of the women dropped a pocketbook and Mr. Van Norden po­ litely picked it up and returned it to the loser. There was a profusion of thanks and bows, and one of the wom­ en fainted suddenly and leaned on Mr. Van Norden's shoulder. The woman revived and the banker went home in his machine. The $28,000 was gone when he reached there. The women have been held in 000 bail for further questioning.
