Hendricks ' Report on Equitable. Third Reprieve For Mrs. Rogers, Trial of Justice Hooker Chinese Exclusion Law President's New England Trip. Wreck of the 20th Century Limited Running tit the rate of 60 miles an hour, the 20th Century Limited on the Lake Shore railroad dashed Into an pen switch ut the passenger station at Mentor, O., shortly before 10 o'clock Wednesday night. Nineteen persons were killed and 12 others slightly Injured. The comblna- Hon baggage and smoking car and the coach behind it caught lire and were destroyed. The train waB eastbound, having left Cleveland about 9 o'clock, and as it does not stop there it was running at great speed. The engineer did not notice the open switch until the train struck it. The engine loft the rails nnd plowed Into the ground, tearing up the track for yards. The two coaches following It Jam med into It with great force and were crushed, the fire from the engine setting them t blaze. It is still maintained by railroad officers that tho switch was thrown open and locked by some person, either a maniac or some one seeking revenge. It is still unknown to the police who this person is. A careful examination of the switch showed that it was in perfect condi tion. Detectives nre working on the case. Trainmen are of the opinion that the engineer of the 20th Century Limited was deceived by the light of a switch Just beyond tho open switch, the light of which is said to have been out. 18-Hour Schedule Restored. The following announcement was made by President W. H. Newman of the New York Central railroad: "The rigid investigation of the wreck on the Lake Shore road at Mentor, O., which has been made by the officials of the Lake Shore com pany and by the state railway commis sioner of Ohio, who with tho chief In spector of railways for the state made a personal Investigation at the scene of the accident, having shown con clusively that the accident was not caused by the speed of the train, It is now decided unnecessary to longer continue the slower schedule of the 20th Century train, the time of which was lengthened pending a thorough Investigation of the cause of the acci dent "Its schedule of 18 hours between New York and Chicago will be re sumed Monday, the 2Gth." Accident Companies Badly Hit. The wreck of the 20th Century Lim ited at Mentor, cost the Hartford in Biiranca companies about $175,000. The Travelers' Insurance company had $9, 000 accident Insurance on persons killed and $33,000 life; the Aetna Life had a $20,000 accident policy on C. E. Wellman, who was killed. It pays double In case of railroad nccldent Other companies had about $10,000 ac cHrnt and life Instiranco on persons killed, whllo small claims are still to be heard from. Referred to Attorney General. . The report of Superintendent Fran cis Hendricks of the state insurance department to Governor Hlgglns upon his Investigation of the Equitable Lit'! Assurance society has been made puo lie. . . It is described In the title as a "pre liminary report," nnd it is decidedly critical of the management of the so ciety as well as of the new trust ar rangement for voting the stock agreed upon by Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan and tho three trustees designated by him. In the conclusion of his report he says: "No superficial measures will cor rect the existing evils in this society. A cancer cannot be cured by treating the symptoms. Complete mutualiza tlon with the elimination of the stock, to be paid for at a price only commen surate with, its dividends, Is in my opinion the only sure measure of re lief. "This report with a copy of the evi dence taken on this investigation will to transmitted to the attorney general for such action thereon as he may deem proper." Third Reprieve For Mrs. Rogers. A reprieve until Dec. 8 for Mrs. Mary M. Rogers, the condemned mur deress, was signed by Governor C. 3. Hell, and for the third time tho woman who was to have been hanged at Wind sor, Vt., for killing her husband has ur-cu saved through the operation of the governor's power of staying the axecutlon. The reprieve was granted In order that the rase may be carried to the supreme court of the United States on constitutional questions which were raised at. a hearing before Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler, silting as n Justice of tho United Slates circuit, court. Mrs. Rogers' attorneys petitioned for her release on a writ of habeas corpus. The court declined to grant tho pe tition, but suggested that tho points of law raised by the petitioners were such as to be passed upon by tho su preme court of the country.

Y., the first colored boy ever graduated from tho Bingharnton high school, a member of this year's class, has won the Cornell scholarship from the county, haviug a higher standing in tho recent examinations for that honor than any of his numerous white competitors. Military Stormed Barricades. According to advices received at St Petersburg, the situation In Po land is again exceedingly seri ous. Censored dispatches from Lodz, though giving few details. Indicate that fierce street fighting was in pro gress on Friday between the military and the striking workmen, who barri' coded the thoroughfares In various quarters of the city and offered resist ance which the troops met with vol- Joys. Lodz has been In a turmoil for the past three days. Tho strike which em braces 60.000 workers appears to have entirely lost Its economic nature and is now a vast political manifestation. It Is reported that several hundred workmen nnd CO soldiers were killed Friday. Russian Plenipotentiaries. It is reported unofficially that Presl dent Roosevelt has been Informed by Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador at St. Petersburg, of tho selection of tho Russian peace plenipotentiaries.

Better Treatment of Chinese. Dy direction of President Roosevelt, action has been taken by the admin istration that will facilitate the land ing in this country of Chinese of the exempt classes, and also will eliminate from tho Immigration bureau such ad ministrative features as have been the subject of criticism by Chinese. Representations have been made to the president that, in view of alleged harsh treatment accorded to many Chineso seeking a landing In the United States, the commercial guilds of China have determined to Institute a boycott on American manufactures. It is anticipated that the prompt ac tion taken by this government to meet the objections made by the Chinese will eliminate the possibility of serious trade difficulties between China and the manufacturers of this country, Immigration Record Breaker.
