Two loaded freight cars broke from a Santa Fe train in the yards and started toward this city. The distance is ten miles and the grade is heavy all the way, there ng a fall of nearly a thousand feet. Every foot the runaway cars traveled saw them pass South Pasadena assert that they, were going sixty miles an hour., They had broken away so far from the depot that it was impossible to notify Los Angeles by wire. To telephone was useless because there is no telephone in the yards. The members of the train crew knew that it was time for a local passenger train to leave Los Angeles, and they expected soon to hear of a frightful wreck. At the point where thé Santa Fe | tracks skirt the Southern Pacific freight vards there is & signal and a switch tow- er used to control the switches over which freight business is transferred. The" operator heard the rumble of the runaway cars long before he saw them, and as they came into view he realized that they were beyond control. He promptly threw a switch, and instead of main track, along which a passenger train was due, the cars dashed into a ditch and were reduced to splinters. Nearly 100 yards of track was torn out where they struck, but.that was soon repaired. Those on board the passenger train knew nothing of their narrow escape until the railroad men told them what had happened.

He said he did not know Baker or any member of his family, but that Baker had called at his office to complain about the manner in which the paper had treated his family: = « Colonel Mann said that there were, perhaps, - three or four persons who paid $1500 aplece for the book called “Fads and Fancies,” whose names did not appear therein. They did not care to be mentioned in the book, he said. The witness said that for $10,000 he | gave Mrs. Collis P. Huntington two | copies of the book “Fads and Fancies.” Here Osborne rested the defense of Hapgood's case. SOLD STOCK TO BELMONT. After recess District Attorney Jerome recalled Colonel Mann to the witness stand. Colonel Mann told of a transac- tion which, he saild, he bad with Perry Belmont. Osborne had asked him wheth- er he sold Belmont Town Topics stock, and whether the lawyer, Abraham Hum- mel, did not come to him representing Belmont concerning & story in Town Topics. Colunel Mann replied that Hum- me! may have come to him concerning a story and he may have sold Belmont stock many years ago. “I frankly told Mr. Belmont,"” said the witness to Jerome, *“that I was in straitened circumstances and wanted him to subscribe to some stock in Town Toples. He left my office saying he would see me again, but that was the last I eaw of him.” Colonel Mann testified, however, that many years ago he sold Belmoat some stock. Of the 330,000 which he borrowed from James R. Keene, Colonel Mann sald, he had paid back all except $46,000, and {orl this ‘amount he gave Keene a second | mortgage on property worth $108,000. The stockholders of Town Topics, Col- onel Mann testified, were W. K. Vander- bilt, 25 shares; John W. Gates, 20 shares; Howard Gould, 20 shares; Dr. Seward Webb, 20 shares. and the balance of the shares are owned by Justice Joseoh M. Deuel, Colonel Mann and his wife and daughter. Colonel Mann said that he himself owned but one share of the stock. In accounting for Justice Deuel's con- nection with Town Topics he sald: “He has been kind to us, my daughter and myself, and we felt that when we could repay him we should, and we did, by giving him some of our own shares.” VANDERBILT RETURNS NOTES. Just before leaving the stand Colonel Mann sald: “I forgot to say that W. K. Vanderbilt sent me back my notes and later re- turned me the stock.” The witness had previously testified that he repaid a $25,000 loan from W. K. Vanderbilt by giving him twenty-five their speed increased and persons who | Shares In the Town Topics stock. Here the prosecution announced that it rested its case and Osborne began sum- ming up for the defense on the evidence of the prosecution. The defense has sev- eral witnesses who probably will be called to-morrow. Osborne, in summing up, compared the Town Toplcs publicatiori to the story of the Three Fates painted on the wall of the courtroom. In this comparison the agent of the paper Wwas ti Spinner, Judge Deuel was the Measurer and the old man. whom Osborne called the King of Assassins of Reputations, was Colonel Mann. Said Osborné: We clalm it was dlsgraceful for a_Judge to be connected with such a paper. We claim that Judge Deuel, a Judge of a children's court, read the proofs of this vile Town Top- fes. We claim it was dfsgraceful for a Judge to be connected with a paper that aimed at the destruction of the purity of the youth of the country. We claim Town Topics produces scandal- Judge Deuel and Colonel Mann know they were building & power of terror that was felt all over the land. Colonel Mann went to Oliver Belmont, & man he did not know, and boldly asked him for money, But Belmont would not give up and he was ‘‘Bad Oliver” In Town Toples ever after. But Perry Belmont gave up and he_was ‘Good Perry.” Judge Deuel, our trustee by law, sits in judgment on our libel suits and goes down and reads proofs of Town Topics Colonel Mann demanded money and did it o boldly that one milllonaire gave him money and told him “For God's sake take back your notes and your stock.” Judge Douel was connected with a paper that was a venomous swamp of libels. They were Itke the polsoned arrows of the Bushman. They were sent from ambush. A verdiet against Hapgood is a verdict against decency and a love of virtue in this community. Here an adjournment was taken until to-morrow morning. QUEER PROCEDURE FOR SENATOR BURTON Technicality Overcome and the Convicted Man Is Given Mileage. WASHINGTON, “Jan. 22.—One of the most remarkable procedures in the his- tory of the Senate occurred to-day in order to aveid a_technicality which pre- vented Senator Burton of Kansas from drawing his mileage for the present ses- sion. To have his requisition honoreds it 1s necessary for some official of the Sen- ate to take oath that he had seen the Senator in the chamber, but since the indictment and conviction of the Kansas Senator he has not appeared in the chamber. There is no disposition on the part of any one to withhold the mileage and the Senator therefore was asked to step from the cloakroom into the chamber for a moment in order that he might be seen by some one present. He declined, but an employe engaged him in conversation in the cloakroom near the entrance to the chamber. The employe suddenly turned the Senator so that he faced the chamber and, the attention of the offi- cials previously having been directed toward this door, he was seen from the chamber. ¥ It was then certified that Senator Bur- ton was in attendance and his mileage was paid him. s : Depew and Platt WASHINGTON, Jan. 2i—senators Platt and Depew were in their seats When the Senate convened to-day, the first appearance of either for some time. Both were given warm welcome, and were heartily coungratulated upon their appearance Of being In' good health. ¥ —————— Alnskans Favor Wickersham.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—A severe storm of alternating rain,, sleet and snow, which commenced just before midnight last night, caused one of the worst tieups this city has known in many years. But few telegraph wires were working out of the city to-day in any direction, there being no communication whatever with the East. ! Inside the city telephone communica- tion was badly crippled and the electric lines of street cars were almost out of commission. The elevated roads were still greater sufferers. Many passengers on the Aurora line and the Chicago electric were compelled to remain all night in the station when the roads ceased operations on account of the storm. Large commission brokerage houses which ordinarfly use from twenty to thirty wires leading to all parts of the country were unable to send a message in any direction and were without ad- vices from other parts of the country. The Weather Bureau. announced that the storm was moving eastward, with the center -just north of Indianapolis. It was predicted that the area of low barometer would surely move eastward, although the precipitation might be ex- pected in this section for another twenty- four hours. The rallways were in a better conuition to contend against the sleet and snow than the electric lines, which were at times during the day in desperate straits. On some of the lines running east from here hundreds of miles of railroad wires were down and the dispatchers were hav- ing a trying time in moving trains. Great trouble was experienced to-day by people who use electric lines in the outlying sectlons of the city in reachh‘lg‘ their places of employment. The great steel mills in South Chicago were barely able to muster enough men to operate all of thelr departments early in the day. and for some time some of them were closed down. L8 G R STORM TRAVELING EASTWARD. Has Not Yet Conquered Torrid Spell in the Ohlo Valley. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—A cold wave from the West is crowding yesterday’'s record-breaking warm wave, and by to-morrow, according to weather of- ficials, there will be cooling rains on the Atlantic coast and snow or rain in | the Ohio Valley and the lower lake country. Because of a high pressure | over the Atlantic Ocean the cohiJ wave's progress is slow, but the pres- | ent official caleulations figure on pos- sible snow Wednesday in the Middle Atlantic States and the Northeast and snow in the lower lake regions and the upper Ohio Valley. Despite the cold wave headed this way and the severe storm in Chicago and the snow falling there to-night and in various places as far south as Vicksburg, Miss, it was even warmer to-day than yesterday in some sec- tions of the East. To-day the maxi- mum temperature here was 71 degrees, as against 63 vesterday, and in the Ohio Valley the temperature reached 74 degrees, about the same as yes- terday. The cold wave, however, has over- spread the lower Missouri Valley. Clear, cold weather prevalled to-day in the West, and it will be colder in the Atlantic coast regions generally on Wednesday. nth oo e NEW YORK STILL MUNE. Weather Man's Latest Whim Not Yet Felt in the Metropolis. NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—Coney Island came back to life yestérday. The mild weather caused a crowd, estimated by the police at about 15,000, to flock to the place. The cry of ““Come on in, the water is fine,” was heard for the first time in several months, and . twenty-five men stripped and took a dip in the chilly brine. The board walk extending from the parkway baths to Manhattan Beach was well filled with. people and the winter bleakness of the section took on a sem- blance of life. ‘Bartenders were kept busy serving drinks and restaurants did a big business. The spring-like weather of yesterday continued to-day. New York has been practically fog-bound, the mist being so dense that no craft entered or left the harbor. Several liners arrived at Sandy Hook bar, but did not enter. In the up- per harbor few boats were moving and the ferryboats ran irregularly. Telegraphic communication with Chi- cago was cut off at 9:35 o’'clock this morn- ing. The service up to'that time had been slow. owing to storms. At 10:30 o'clock the wires were working as far west as Toledo. Later in the day com- munication with Chicago was re-estab- lished. % SLEET COVERS THE GROUND. Street Car Service Badly Hampered in St. Louts. i ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22—A blanket of sleet two inches thick covered the ground this merning, with the temperature at 16 above and a fine sleet blowing. Street car traffic was badly hampered and railroad traffic was delayed. Telegraphic com- munication with Chicago and points east of St. Louls was very poor early in the morning and it suddenly ceased at § o'clock. Not until 11 o'clock was com- munication with the East established. ‘Then a route to New York was put into operation by way of Cincinnati.

Attorney W. J. Hines, for the defend- ants, in his opening statement to-day to the jury hearing the immunity pleas, read an cxcerpt from a letter written by President Roosevelt to Atterney General Moody in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rebate case, which was a part of the communications between the two men called for by Congress some time ago. This letter is taken by the packers as an admission by the President that the { Department of Commerce and Laber and the Department of Justice worked to- gether to Indict the packers, supporting the contention of the packers upon which they rest for immunity. The defendant packers will endeavor to interject the letter into the case as evi- dence, just as if the President were here and testified concerning it The letter was written by the President on June 12, 1305, at the' time the Federal Grand Jury was sitting in Chicago on the beef !nquiry. That part of the letter read by Attorney Hines and which will be introduced by the defendants if possible as evidence from President Roosevelt follows: With my approval the Depastment of Jus- tice, with the assistance of the Department of Commerce and Labor, has for some months been endeavoring to find out whether or mot they can obtaln legal evidence of such wiliful and deliberate violations of the Injunction by any individual. If the Grand Jury now sitting in_ Chicago finds an Indictment against any individual connected with the packing cor- porations it will be because in thelr judgment such evidence of the violation of the imjumc- tion has been lald before them. “That letter is a public document, and we will Introduce it as evidence in this case,” said Attorney John S. Miller, one of the packers’ attorneys. “If the Gov- ernment contests it we can, of course, call for an original copy.” The reading of excerpts from the let- ter came as a climax to the opening state- ment of the defendants late to-day. At- torney John C. Cowin, who talked for the Cudahy interests in the morning. as- serted that Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha packer, was directly threatened with imprisonment by Commissioner Gar- fleld if Cudahy refused to give the com- missfoner information regarding the pack- ing business, Cowin argued that the se- curing of evidence against the packers themselves in itself eonstituted a prom- ise of immunity to the defendants. District Attorney C. B. Morrison will make the opening statement for the Gov- ernment to-morrow WEALTHY OREGONIAN DIES ON A TRAIN nceumbs to Attack of Heart Disease While Traveling in South.
