WILL TO-DAY ACCEPT SERVICE OF PAPERS by Y Utah Man Is Wanted to Give Testimony in the Trial of Former Congressman Driggs in Brooklyn Federal Court ki Special Dispatch to The Calil SALT LAKE, Jan. 7.—For the past week United States officers have been searching fruitlessly for Perry Heath, ex-First Assistant Postmaster General, to serve upon him papers in connection with postal frauds cases in the East. Shortly after midnight Heath arrived in this city from Denver. ; He denied that he had been dodging the officials, and said that he had not heard that subpenas had been issued for him. The papers will be served to-morrow. A subpena Is in the hands of the United States Marshal here, issued by the Federal Court of Brooklyn, sum- moning Heath to testify in the case of Congressman Driggs, who is under indictment for complicity in the post- |\ office frauds. The subpena arrived here on Decem- ber trict Attorney Young of Brooklyn. Federal Court of that city to-day, when the trial of Driggs was scheduled to begin. Since then the United States Marshal and his subordir ites have been making a still hunt for Heath. For some weeks past United States Postal Inspectors have been actively but quietly at work in this city and vicinity seeking evidence in the cases growing out of the postal scandal. is said that, as the statute of limita- tion has already been held to outlaw any charges that might be brought against Heath personally, there can be no significance in the visit of the in- the Mar- to obtain Heath's testimony in cases now pend- ing against indicted persons.

The subpena was issued last week and skould have reached Salt Lake about Monday.

The cratic Senators resisted the motion and i mack resolution, looking to a Senato- | be satisfled with an investigation of a department made by the department itself. The debate continued for al- most two and a half hours and was extremely spirited from start to finish. Further consideration of the subject was deferred until Friday. Clay expressed surprise that there should be opposition to the Carmack resolution, and called attention to the declarations by Fourth Assistant Gen-: eral Bristow and Counselors Bonaparte | |and Conrad that the Investigation should be carried further. He declared that the Bristow report “demonstrates He (Bristow) says himself that this leading high official was guilty and the proof overwhelming. If this is true, Mr. Heath shculd have been indicted. of the Postoffice Department originated in Heath's office. If 80, he must have had cognizance of them. Then why should the subordinates in that office be indicted if the principal be allowed to escape?”’ Clay quoted extracts from the Bris- | tow report to substantiate his argu- ntent. “If,” he seid, “this report speaks the | truth Perry Heath originated all the| frauds in his office. If the report not correct the fact should be known'| and Mr. Heath vindicated. If the| charges are well founded Mr. Heath| should be indicted and punished.” | Reference was made to the negotia- | tions with G. S. Richardson concerning | the Montague indicator, in which Clay | said there were many suspicious feat- ures pointing to Heath. [ Carmack made a general plea for a| Senatorial Inqujry and quoted the newspaper report to the effect that the Postmaster General had not been in | sympathy with the Postoffice Depart- | ment inquiry when undertaken and that he pronounced the Tulloch charges to be “hot air.” . sent out by United States Dis- | It | demanded the presence of Heath in the | | ares It | | of the passenger train, | | which Jtaking a freight train on the siding The question came up | O action will be taken against Demo- | | a stock train I paid little attention to the absolute guilt of the late First As-| sistant Postmaster General, Mr. Heath. | | these other people did wonders. | I will do Mr. Bristow the credit to say | | that his report shows that the frauds This statement aroused Spooner, who | gaid that the charge did great injustice | to the Postmaster General.® So far as Bristow inquiry was concerned | I"ayne had been in thorough sympathy | with it and had placed the entire ma- | chinery of the department at the com- | mand of the official who had made this | wost remorseless inquiry. i Replying, Carmack disclaimed any intention to charge Payne with com- | larities in his department.

ENGINEER IS TO BLAME The single word “carelessness” will sum up the reason for the disaster. Instructed to meet a special freight at Willard, the engineer and conductor | noting that a | freight train stood on the sidetrack at Willard, rushed through, believing that the cars they had seen were those | they had been instructed to pass. Failure to scrutinize the num- ber of the engine was directly respon- sible for the wreck. Had the engineer | compared the number of the train at Willard with his orders the catas-/| trophe would have been prevented. Upon seeing at Willard a freight train on the siding, igineer Benja- min threw open the throttle and under the impetus of full steam the passen- ger train leaped out into the darkness and crashed along at a rate which the passengers declare to have been fully sixty-five miles an hour. General Su- perintendent Gruber of the Rock Island made this statement: “The engineer of the passenger train had orders to wait at Willard for the special stock train. He passed on, mis- at that station for the extra stock train. This caused the wreck. No- body else is to blame, so far as our In- formation goes.” A formal inquest was held at the wreck to-day by Coroner Dolley of Wabaunsee County. The investigation Until a verdict placing the blame is raturned | the trainmen. HERO OI' THE WRECK. The hero of the wreck was Dr. Bell of New York City, a . oung physi- | cian, crippled and walking on crutches. Dr. Bell, although slightly hurt as a | result of the collision, was th~ first man | to ledve the Pullman sleeper,which was contended that the country would not | = not damaged. Struggli-z heroically | forward on his crutches, he immediate- | ly assumed charge of the relief work. | After working until nearly exhausted, | Dr. Bell gave way only when the | phy:cicians arrived from Topeka with | medicine and instruments. Spealing of the relief work, Dr. Bell said: ““When the collision came we wer. all, of course, in our berths. 1 was thrown from mine and immediately got into my clothing to see what was wrong. | The condition of the wrecked train cannot be described; and, indeed, after | ascertaining that the other train was | it, I saw that medical assistance was the first thing needed. There were two voung womerf in my car who offered their services and they worked unhesi- tatingly. I really did not do much, but All of the people in the sleeper were bundled out to make room for the injured from the wreck. We did not have much in th2 " ay of medical appliances, but tore up sheets for bandages, stopped wounds as well as we could and made the infured as comfortable as possible. “With one exception those in the sleeper devoted themselves unselfishly to the care of the wounded. That ex- ception was a man who would not give up his berth. T told some men to jerk him out. They jerked him out and I have not seen him since.” HORRORS OF THE DISASTER. Harvey G. Parsons, a writer for the Topeka State Journal, was on the train. In his account of the wreck he says: “It was in the third car of the pas- | senger train—the first coach, preceded | by a smoker and baggage car—that the great slaughter of passengers took place. The shock drove the smoking car, which was occupted by only two or three men, completely over and through the car behind it, which was crowded with passengers, some stand- ing in the aisle, when the shock came. The passengers in the car where the numerous deaths, occurred did not feel | any serious shock. They were first warned by the total darkness follow- ing the setting of the airbrakes. Then a mass of splintered wood and iron crowded down upon them. No one was thrown out of his seat by the blow. Out of possibly one hundred persons in ! the car about thirty escaped without injury. They got out hurriedly by the rear door, which was still unobstructed, No one in the front half of the car escaped. They were crushed down be- tween the seats by the smoking car. Only three living persons were taken out by the rescuers, who chopped holes into the side, floor and top of the wrecked cars in a frenzied attempt to rescue a man, a small girl and a mid- dle-aged woman, who were moaning and begging for aid. The rest of the png:‘en‘erl in the forward half were dead.
