At least 20 persons were killed | outright or died before a relief trait could reach the scene and possibly | | twice- that number were injured. The train, traveling at about 50 or ,60 miles an hour, apparently spread the track about 200 feet from a 40- foot trestle. The engine cleared the trestle, as did the first baggage | coach, The engine did not leave the | track. Three baggage coaches and | nine day coaches and Pullmans made up the train. All coaches except the last Pull- man rolled down the 40-foot embank- ment. The three day coaches were a tangled mass of wreckage. One of them dived headlong into the clay bank by the side of the track and the others rolled and jammed as they struck the bottony, piling the occu- pants to the ‘tops and ends of the cars. Few of the passengers sleeping in the last three Pullmans suffered serious injury and it was these who directed the rescue and first aid work before relief trains arrived. H. B, Haerring, engineer, said the first intimation he had of the im- pending wreck, was when he heard the air connection between the tender and baggage car snap. “As I looked back I saw my train telescope and crash down the embankment,” Haer- ring said. At the time the train, ac- cording to the engineer's statement, was traveling at between 45 and 50 miles an hour. All available ambulances and doc- tors from Memphis and togvns near Victoria were pressed into service, and the injured: were rushed to Memphis. The dead and dying were taken to a nearby school house, con- verted into a temporary hospital Rescue work was continued during the day as train crews and rescue workers dug about the wreckage and cut away ‘doors, searching for vic- tims, “I had just finished dressing in my berth ‘when I felt a jar,” said Edward ‘Connor of Minneapolis, “When I climbed out of the car it was leaning against an embankment, Everywhere I looked, it seemed 1: could see crushed bodies and people trying to extricate themselves from the wreckage, It was terrible.” J.

GOPHER STATE HAVING SPELL OF COLD, SNOW ; Bight Above Registered as Low Point in Northwest During L Night St. Paul, Oct. 27,(4)—The temper- ature sagged to eight degrees above zero, the lowest this season, in some | parts of the northwest today while other sections reported snow accom- panying the lowering mercury.

Taxpayers repre- senting various interests sought re-/| lief from more of the specia: ievies, a majority of them pressing for out- | right repeal of the taxes in the new revenue measure which the commit- tee will start drafting next week. With today’s appeals, the commit- tee now has been i to repeal al- most every miscellaneous tax now levied, a program which would mean a reduction of probably several times | the total of $30,000,000 recommend- | ed by Secretary Mellon. He suggested that $140,000,000 of | this be allotted to a reduction of the income rates. While the committee appears to favor repeal of as much of the mis- cellaneous tax burden as possible, Representative Treadway, Republican of Massachusetts, and Garner, Demo- erat of Texas, pointed out that there is a limit and if all appeals were granted the government would find itself with virtually no revenues.
