cording to General Manager H. U.
Wallace the wreck wa8 due to dis-
obedience of orders by Mo'orman

who was killed.
Reed ceceived instructions at Gary
to wait at Wilson, a short distance
west of Baileytown, the point where
the disaster occurred, for the west
bound car to pass. The impact of
the cars was so great that-they were
reduced to a mass of wreckage.

ed and almost entirely wrecked. In
this train were all of the killed and
most of the injured, passengers on
train No. 58, west bound, escaping
with slight bruises and scratches.
Cars Welded Together.
The scene of the wreck immediate-
ly after the crash was described by
eye witnesses as sickening. The cars
were welded together into a mass of
debris In which lay the ten dead and
dying and two score injured. The
cries and appeals for help caused a
scene of utter confusion. Soon, how-
ever, the cool headed among the pas-
sengers brought order out of chaos,
turned the home of E. R. Borg, near-
by, into a temporary hospital and
took out the dead and injured.
NO CAUSE FOR TROUBLE
WITH JAP GOVERNMENT
Governor Fear Issues an Official
Statement Saying Strike is
Local Affair.
Honolulu.—Governor Fear, in an jf-
flclal statement, said: "I see no rea-
son why the island of Oahu should as-
sume a national aspect. It is an in-
dustrial affair and the strikers h*ve
shown every disposition to act peace-
ably. The few cases of violence which
have occurred are being dealt with
by the civil authorities in the ordinary
manner.
Couusul General Uyeno endorsed
Governor Fear's statement and said
that the Japanese government was
fully informed in regard to the trouble
and appreciated the fact that it was
not of an international character. Ca-
ble messages from Yokohama re-
ceived today by the strike leaders
here urged them not to yield In their
demands and promised them financial
aid. The dispatches also state tnat
great excitement prevails in Japan
over the strike on these islands. The
local situation remains unchanged.
