Atlantic Clty.N. J.. Oct. 29. As the
details of yesterday's terrible wreck
on tho electric lino of thu West Jersey
Jind "Seashoro Railroad dovoloped dur-
ing tho night the disaster becamo
roo'ro appalling. The total number of
persons whoso Hvok woro Riniffed out
almost Instantly Is probably sixty-six
;wlth nearly n score of Injured several
of whom It Is thought will die.
Forty-eight bodies have already been
brought to tho surface. Thoro wore
tilnoty-otio persons on the train. Twenty-five
of this number have been ac-
counted for which with bodies recov-
ered will bring tho total number to
seventy-three This leaves eighteen
not accounted for and who are suppos-
ed to have been drowned.
It is possible that some of those
may never bo found.
It is tho belief of divers that some
of tho bodies floated through tho bro-
ken windows out Into tho thorough-
fare and were carried by the swift
enrront into (ho Atlantic.
The thoroughfare was small yester-
day at a mile outside of this city. A
fishing schooner had just passed
through the drawbridge when the elec-
tric train hove in sight. Hefoio the
draw was swung into place three cars
running at a high rate of speed dash-
ed onto tho trestle which was twen
ty feet high. Tho forward car left the
rails anil dashed Into tho guard rail
the other two following'. Tho first
two cars woro Instantly submerged
hut tho third car caught on an abut-
ment and remained suspended. It
vna this car from which nearly' all
tho Injured oscaped. When the two
ears struck tho bottom of tho water-
way they stood almost on end.
The first diver did not descend un-
til several hours after tho accident
occurred. Ho reported victims packed
in tho lower ends of tho submorgod
enrs so tightly that it was with dif-
ficulty ho could movo them. When fi-
nally thoy wero taken out tho bodies
ono by ono wero carried to tho walling
train and laid side by side later to
bo homo to this city and placed in tho
tcrnpornry morgue. Thousands of per-
sons gathered at tho scone and a
b-coro of boats surrounded the spot
lmt they wero unablo to rendor aid.

ADVERTISING oPACE CANNOT BE
GIVEN FOR TRANSPORTATION.
Newspaper Men Must Pay Cash Fares
When Traveling Over Railroad
Lines Protest Had Been Raised
Against Ruling But Futile.
Washington Oct. 28. Under a titl-
ing of the Interstate commerce com-
mission transportation over railroad
llnus no longer may be given to news-
paper publishers or editors In ox-
chnngo for advertising space In their
newspapers.
A protest against this ruling has
been received by tho commission from
the Massachusetts Press Association
through W. J. Ileffortnau secretary.
In Mr. Ilefferiuan's cotiniuitilc.it Ion
he says that the association unani-
mously voted to enter protest against
the reported ruling in holding that tho
payment for railroad transportation at
full rates In advertising shall ho treat-
ed on any other basis than that of
transportation paid for In cash.
In a letter to Secretary Hefferman
in answer to the protest Chairman
Knapp says  In part after quoting the
question of the law wlilc'.l prohibits
tho use of free transportation or trans-
portation paid for In any other way
than in cash:
"You of course nre aware that nil
tariffs filed In compliance with ilio
regulating statute namo rates on tho
dollar nnd cent basis and do no- n. at y
case provide that transportation cat'
bo paid for with proporty. It seems
plain to tho commission Mint tho 'aw
ibovo quoted collided with the l..ct
stated permits payment for iwrxlci..
of Interstate carriers jiily In i;.i'ii y
"A contrary rate would sanction un-
equal compensation by different per-
ions anil involve ordinarily home de-
cree of discrimination In favor of thoso
permitted to exchange their commod-
ities for the transportation thoy de-
sire to receive. It Is the aid of the
law to prevent every sort of favorit-
ism and secure absolute equality and
treatment In all cases.
"Tho ruling of the commission in no
way Interferes with or abridges the
rights of private contracts. News-
papers and thplr advertising space
muy be freely exchanged for any spe-
cies of property upon such terms as
may be acceptable to tho parties to
the transaction but tho facilities of
the public carrier are not private prop-
orty. nor aro they subject of bargains
ind sale llko merchandise. The right
to travel or have property carried by
rail llko the right to tho common high-
way Is not a contract right but a po-
litical right the very essence or which
Is equality.
Conceding that tho advertising ar-
rangements in question are ordinarily
made and carried out In good faith it
scorns plain to mo that theso arrange-
ments must as a practical matter. In-
volvo some measures of discrimination
mil it is not easy for mo to see how
in honest newspaper can seriously ob-
ject to a ruling or tno commission
which appenrs to be in obvious accord
wltn tho provlslona and tho purposes
or the rogulutlng statutes"
