"Good-bye, I am going down to see
bow the ditch is getting along," shout
ed President Roosevelt as he stood on

yard, as the vessel was leaving tne
dock with the president for his Pana
ma trip.
Accompanying the president were
Mrs. Roosevelt and her maid, Surgeon
General Rlxcy of the navy and M. C.
Latta, a secretary.
Tho Mayflower took the party
to Wolf Trap light at the mouth of
the Rappahannock river In Chesa

made to the battleship Louisiana
which Is to convey the president to

Trial of Chester Gillette.
The trial of Chester Gillette of Cort
land, N. Y., charged with the murder
of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, was
begun at Herkimer Monday. The cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
the girl have never been cleared up en
tirely. On July 8 she left home at South Ot
boIIc, presumably for Cortland, where
she was employed In a shirt factory.
It appears that when she left home she
met Gillette and went with him to Big
Moose, In tho Adirondacks. They ar
rived there July 11, registered at a
holel and then hired a boat. The next
day the body of the girl was found in
the lake and the boat upturned. Gil
lette was arrested at Inlet July 14 and
taken to the jail at Herkimer. An au
topsy .showed that the girl was In a
delicate condition.
After the inquest Governor Higglns,
upon the application of District Attor
ney Ward, convened an extraordinary
term of supreme court, that the case
might be given to a grand jury. The
grand Jury Indicted Gillette for the
murder. It Is expected that the theory
of the prosecution will be that Gillette
murdered Grace Brown for, the pur
pose of getting rid of her that he
might be free to devote attention to
another woman. What the defense
will be is not known.
Conspiracy to Defraud Government.
Indictments were returned at Pitts
burg on Friday by the federal grand
Jury against J. Jay Dunn, Charles
L. Close and Frank T. Emmett, offi
cials and employes of the Shelby Steel
Tube company, charging them with
conspiracy to defraud the government
in connection with the .boiler tubes
furnished for a number of battleships,
including the Louisiana on which tho
president Is sailing to Panama.
No Defective Boiler Tubes, Says Ray.
In connection with the report that
the grand jury at Pittsburg had
indicted three officials of the Shelby
Steel Tube company on charges of Il
legally tampering with marks upon
6teel tubes intended to be used In the
hollers of warships, Rear Admiral
Ray, engineer-in-chief of the navy,
stated that not a single defective tube
has been placed In any of the battle
ships. "The tubes," he said, "are sub
jected to three Inspections and a final
heavy physical test, which, he said,
would surely disclose the existence of
any defects."
To Investigate McCarren.
The Democratic state committee met
Friday and by a vote of 30 to 13
adopted a resolution providing for an
tnvestifiation of the conduct of the
Klugs county Democratic organization
heided by State Senator Patrick H
McCarren during the campaign Just
closed. Subsequent to the meeting it
was announced that Perry Belmont,
representative from the senatorial dls'
trict Included In Nassau county, had
resigned. ' Mr. Belmont had been serv
ing on the committee temporarily
since the Buffalo convention, at which
time he as appointed by the Nassau
county delegates, who afterward were
unseated. I Mr. Belmont voluntarily re
tired to imke way on the committee
for former Senator Edward A. Bailey
of Patchogho, Long Island.
Utes ana Soldiers Fraternize.
According! to advices received at
trmy headquarters at Omaha, Neb.,
the Uto Indians who have been
causing trouble In Wyoming and Mou
'ana are expected to arrive at Fort
Meado, S. D., about Nov. 14. All
stories of clashes or 111 feeling be
tween the soldiers and the Utes are
denied. The bent of feellcs Is said to
exist, the soldiers and Indians hunting
together In amity.
General Wage Raise Predicted.
It was said In Wall street that prac
tically all the great railroad and indus
trial corporations, the affairs of which
are directed from New York, have
decided to Increase the wages of their
employes. It was predicted that tho
action of the Pennsylvania railroad
management In Increasing the wages
of Its army of 1CS.OO0 men nearly
$12,000,000 would soon be followed by
all the Important railroad and Indus
trial corporations of the United States.
The Standard Oil company has de
cided to Increase the wages of Its 60,
000 employes In different parts of the
United States. The increases will be
carried out through the compute's
subsidiary corporations.
Statement From the White House.
This statement was made public at
the White House: "For many years it
has been the Invariable practice nevor
to attempt to quote a private conver
sation with the president. It has been
found that as a matter of fact the man
who quotes such a conversation usual
ly misquotes It, whether consciously
or unconsciously, and such an alleeed
conversation is under no circum
stances to be held as calling for either
explanation or denial by the president.
The president Is responsible for what
he himself says In public, for what he
writes, or for what he explicitly au
thorizes the proper government offi
cials to state In his behalf."
Collapse of a New Hotel.
Five stories of the central wing of
the new J750.000 Blxby hotel at
Long Beach, Cal., collapsed on Fri
day, carrying nine workmen to death
In the tons of tangled wreckage. About
150 artisans and laborers were scat
tered through the structure when It
fell and of these 100 were carried
down In the ruins, nine being severe
ly hurt.
Pitiful scenes were enacted among
the throngs who stood outside the
lines, waiting for news. An aged
mother stood all day long on the
bluff overlooking the hotel, weeping
and watching for the body of her
son.

47 IMMIGRANTS KILLED.
In Collision Between Passenger
and Freight Train.
8econd Section of a Through Immi
grant Train Crashed Into by an
Eastbound Freight Disaster Said to
Be Caused by Blunder of a Railroad
Employe Harrowing Scene.
Chicago, Nov. 13. More than one
half the passengers on an Immigrant
train on the Baltimore & Ohio road
were killed and Injured In a collision
festorday between the passenger and
a freight train near Woodvllle, Ind.
One hundred and sixty-five passen
gers were on the train. Forty-seven
either were killed outright or were
burned to death in a fire that broke
out In the wreckage Immediately aftef
the collision. The names of all the
dead probably never will be known, as
45 of the bodies were consumed In
the flames or were so badly burned
that identification will be out of the
question.
Thirty-eight persons were Injured
and several of these will die. Eighty
others escaped unhurt, but lost nearly
all their baggage and clothing.
The disaster was caused by a blun
der of a railroad employe. The pas
senger train, which was loaded with
Russian Jews, Servians and Poles,
all of them recent arrivals In this
country and bound for Chicago or
places northwest, was the second sec
tion of a through train from Balti
more. The engineer of the freight train,
on Instructions received at McCool,
Ind., waited at a siding at Babcock,
Ind., to allow the Immigrant train to
pass. One report is that the engineer
of the freight train had not been in
formed that the passenger train was
running in two sections; the other is
that the first section of the passenger
train carried no lights or signals of
any kind Indicating that a second sec
tion was close behind.
Freight Crashed Into Second Train.
As soon as the first section of the
Immigrant train had passed the
switch at Babcock. the freight train in
charge of Engineer burke and Con
ductor Moste started eastward. A
light snow was falling which Increased
the darkness of the early morning and
as the freight was rounding a sharp
curve just west of Woodvllle the sec
ond section of the Immigrant train
came In sight a short distance away
tearing toward Chicago at the rate of
40 miles an hour.
The two trains came together with
unslackened speed and In the crash
six passenger coaches and several
freight cars were knocked Into kind
ling wood and together with the loco
motives went rolling down the 10-foot
embankment.
Fire broke out almost Immediately
In the wreckage and, although a num
ber of the Injured were saved by the
desperate efforts of the train crew and
surviving passengers, the greater part
of those who were pinned down In the
debris were burned to death.
The flames spread through the
wreckage so rapidly that It was Im
possible to save a number of persons
who were only slightly hurt, but
were held fast by timbers that weight
ed them down. These were burned in
plain sight of the throng that stood
around the scene of the disaster ut
terly unable to lend assistance. The
fire continued until all the shattered
cars were entirely consumed, and of
the 47 persons whose death followed
the collision 45 were burned to ashes.
The crash of the collision was so
loud that a number of farmers and
other residents of the neighborhood
came hastily to the scene, but they
could do nothing except lend assist
ance to the Injured who already had
been taken from the wreckage.
Harrowing Scenes at Depot.
Relief trains at once were sent out
from South Chicago and Valparaiso,
Ind., with every available physician,
and every possible aid was given to
the Injured. A large number of the
relatives of passengers on the ill
fated train were In Chicago awaiting
their arrival and when the report was
received that many had been killed
and Injured In a wreck the scenes
around the Baltimore & Ohio station
were harrowing. Men were there who
had come to this country to escnpe the
massacres In Russia and who after
months of hard work had saved enough
to pay for tho passage of members of
their families, nnd their grief when
they learned that possibly all their
sacrifice and effort had resulted only
In the death of those whom they lovod
was pitiful.
Crowds of Russians and Poles
waited around the station all day for
news from Woodvllle and when a train
came in bearing the 38 Injured persons,
all of whom were taken to Mercy hos
pital for treatment, it was with the
greatest difficulty that the police were
able to open a passage way for the
wounded.
Several of the foreigners became so
excited that they attempted to attack
depot attaches whose uniforms led
them to believe they wore employed
by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.

MR. WOODHUFF'S STATEMENT.
Has Not Instituted Any Proceeding to
' Open Ballot Boxeo.
New York, Nov. 13. Chairman
Woodruff of the Republican state com
mittee Issued this statement last
night:
"I have not been requested by any
candidute upon the Republican state
tlscket to institute any contest or to
Institute any proceeding to open ballot
boxes.
"So far as the procedure of having
a count of 'void and protested ballots'
by order of court Is concerned, that Is
simply the method provided by the
election law to correct any errors that
may have been made by the board of
inspectors of the various election dis
tricts, and is a proceeding which is
usually instituted after every close
election In order to ascertain the ex
act result.
"This proceeding can be Instituted
by any candidate who has been voted
for in any election district, and I took
the precaution of obtaining verified
petitions from some of the state can
didates who were voted for in every
election district for use In case it
seemed desirable to apply to the courts
for a count of the void and protested
ballots.
"Of course this has nothing what
ever to do with the question of opening
the ballot boxes, as these 'void and pro
tested' ballots constitute a part of the
returns of the inspectors placed in
sealed envelopes and sent In with the
returns."
Boys Find Father Dead.
Punxsutawney, Pa., Nov. 13. While
