IV. I). Foulke'n Viovr of the Effort to RforRaiilie Hf formntory Hoard. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. v WASHINGTON'. Jan. 27. Civil-service Commissioner Foulke has received a number of letters from Indiana asking his views of the bill Introduced by Senator Goodwine In the Legislature, providing for the reorganization of the Reformatory board. This evening Mr. Foulke gave out an interview on the subject. "I do not understand its terms sufficiently," he said, "to give an Intelligent opinion, but if the bill proposes to reorganize the Reformatory under a. partisan board, or a board that may become partisan, it would be the worst backward step the Republican party has taken in Indiana for a long time. If there are any scandals connected with the present administration they ought to be thoroughly Investigated, but It Is ridiculous to talk of parsing a bill first and Investigating the charges afterward. They ought to be Investigated right away, the evils corrected and every one guilty of wrong turned out. Rut to give the medicine first and find out what Js the matter afterward is moving wrong end foremost. Jf the bill is really a parlUan measure the old scandals that developed In the Insane hospital years ago are likely to be repeated. The election that year turned more on that issue than anything eläe. Then it was the Democratic party that was overthrown, and I should much dislike to see my own party crippled or defeated, or the State again dishonored, by any repetition of such scandals. The mere fact that the trustees of tho Reformatory selected a new superintendent without consulting the Governor Ks not of itself a ftifflcient ground for reorganizing the Institution. After the trustees are once appointed it is they and not the Governor who are charged with Its management. Rut if there has been actual mismanagement of the institution, as claimed, it ought to be mercilessly exposed and followed by the iris tan t removal of thoe who are responsible. 1'olltlos should have nothing to do with such an Institution, and It is very bad politics, as well as very bad morals, for any party to permit partisan management." DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. Representatives 3Ieet to DIscnss Attitude on the Reformatory Dill. The Democratic members of the House held a caucus at 5 o'clock last evening at the Grand Hotel to see if they could get together on tho Reformatory bill and take a united stand one way or the other. It was the desire of prominent members to make the bill a caucus measure, but after some little discussion It was found that there were somo who would not agree to stand by a caucus decision, no matter what that might be, and it was finally decided that every Democrat should vote as he pi ear I. It '':vIoped at the caucus that thirteen of t n.emters of the minority were deterrah ! to vote for the Goodwine measure and tu-t twenty-one were as strongly inclined tuvird the opposition and would vote against it. Thfs was really tho only thing that was accomplished at the caucus, shewing as it did the real position of the minority. All sorts of claims had been made as to the manner in which the minority vote would be divided, but the figures given above are those that would have been shown had the bill ever been placed on its passage. The Democratic representatives knew nothing of the movement on the majoiltv side toward a compromise, and those of them that were especially interested in the contest spent last evening In preparing themselves for the first skirmish which was expected to-day.

One application for membership, that of the Empire City Club, of New York, was received and one track, Terre Haute, by not sending a representative, forfeited its membership In the circuit. A roll call for tho tracks represented was called so that the dates desired could be ascertained with the following result: Detroit, July 20; Cleveland, July 27; Columbus, July 27; or Aus. 3; Buffalo, Aug, 10; Brighton Beach, Aug, 17; Readville. Aug. 17; Providence, Aug. 24; Hartford. Aug. 31; Syracuse, Sept. 7; Cincinnati, Sept. 2S; Empire Track, Aug. 17. There being three applications for the week of Aug 17, President Campau appointed a committee of five to decide the mattter and to pass on any other complications fn dates that might arise. - Representatives from Syracuse and Columbus objected strongly to their dates, Syracuse wanting the week previous, while Columbus asked for dates between Detroit and Cleveland. The circuit, however, was adopted by a vote of 7 to 4. The question of employing professional Judges was discussed, but no action was taken, the feeling being that each member should look after its own meetings. Colonel Thayer brought forward the question of barring hoppled horses which have not acquired standard records. Nearly all the members seemed to be in favor of the new plan, but it was lost, as there was two votes against it, unanimous consent being required. The annual meeting resulted in the reelection of D. J. Campau, of Detroit, as president, while Charles M. JewetL of Boston, was chosen secretary In place of S. W, Giles, who retired on account of ill health. Next year's meeting of the stewards will be held in Cleveland, W. G. Pollock to bo the host. The purse money to be offered by the circuit members will aggregate almost $500,000, apportioned as follows; Readville. $55.000; Brighton Beach, $50,000; Detroit, $50,000; Hartford. $50.000; Empire City. $40.000; Providence, $45,000; Cleveland, $40,000; Columbus, $40,000; Syracuse, $40,000; Cincinnati, $40,000; Buffalo, $20.000.. Readville will repeat Its $20.000 Massachusetts stake. Hartford Its $10.000 Charter Oaks and Detroit the M. and M..-with Its $10,000 purse. Providence will continue the single member giving a five-figure premium for the pacers, as it will renew the Park Brew for the 2:10 pacers and also its $10,000 stake for the trotters; Brighton Beach again hangs up $10.000 In the Bonner memorial, as does Cincinnati in Uie Ohio. Cleveland will give no big stakes, and its programme will be made up of five $15,000 purses, two heats in three, each day. Detroit, Cleveland and Readville will stick almost entirely to two heats in three. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Jan. 27. President ljams, of the Terre Haute Trotting Association, says Terre Haute dropped out of tho. Grand Circuit meetings because Terre Haute is In the wrong place on the map and has had enough of the experience of getting the tail end of the meetings and the bad weather after the middle of September. The Terre Haute Association will not enter any circuit, but will fix Its dates Independently, but with regard to the best results for Terre Haute. Sale of Trotters. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.

AN APPALLING ACCIDENT. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) then dead. The rescuer then started to get out, intending to drop out of a window. As he was climbing for the window he knelt on a body and found it to be that of a child. On reaching down for It he was startled to find the child was alive. Ths little one was taken out apparently un injured and is now In a house at Westfield. The engineer of the express, John S. Davies, was not the regular engineer. He was a relief engineer for the fast train and had been put on in the absence of the regular man, who had a day off. He was. however, perfectly familiar with the running of the train, as he ran it at least once a week. Before the wreckage had cooled the work of getting out tho charred bodies began. Men worked the heap with poles and rods of iron taken from the pile of debris and raked out several arms, legs and heads. Many of those who died will never be rec ognized, the bodies being burned to a crisp. Quick work was made In furnishing a train for the handling of the dead and InJured. Railroad men tore out the iron frames of the seats in the special train and laid the cushions in two rows along the side of the cars. These were later supplemented by pillows and mattresses from the Pullman coaches of the Royal Blue. Y0UTSETS CONFESSION. JT. R. Howard Allesed to Have Ileen GoebePs Slayer. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 27.

McCrrßT, 'ivsimt. ROBERT N. MERRITT. Manager. Indianapolis. IniL 'PHONES IN LOCOMOTIVES. German Device to Lessen Dancer of Railway Collisions. Washington Letter. During the three-quarters of a century in which steam railways have been operated inventive genius has been striving for some device that will guard against rear-end collisions, derailing at open switches and the many other causes of human slaughter and the destruction of property. Millions of dollars have been expended in safety equipments, and a thousand and one electrical devices have been tested, only to find that the greatest safeguard is a strict compliance with the rules for the operation of trains. However, whenever inventive skill comes forward with something new In this line. It Is sure to attract the attention of railroad managers, and, to a greater or less extnt, that of the traveling public. It is learned through a report recently made to the Treasury Department by Consul General Frank H. Mason, at Berlin, that a unique device for preventing collisions between railroad trains, the joint product of Hubert Pfirmann and Max Wendorf, of Berlin, has been tried on one of the state lines near Frankfort before a board of experts with entire success, and that it is likely to come into general use in Germany and other countries. In referring to its construction and general operation, Consul General Mason says: "Midway between the rails is laid a light third rail of the ordinary T pattern, the Joints of which are fo connected as to form a continuous conductor. Midway under th forward part of the engino is hung the working Instrument, an electrical apparatus inclosed In a square case or Jacket occupying a cubic foot of ppace. The instrument is connected with a contact shoe, which sllfles along the third rail, and by wires with a telephone and electric alarm bell In tho cab of the engine driver, and a red Incandescent lamp which is lighted by the same impulse that rouses the alarm bell into action. "A further Improvement of the device sets the electric brakes on the engine or entire train simultaneously with the alarm signal which sounds the bell and lights the lamp.. "The apparatus is so adjusted and arranged that the engineer can at any moment, by touching a lever, satisfy himself that it is in full working condition. "The tests on Nov. 12 were conducted on the main line from Frankfort to Hanau, between the stations Sachstnhaufon und Goldstein, and a translation of the official report will illustrate concisely the working of the apparatus. Two locomotives, numbered respectively 230 and 1420. had been equipped with the new device, and the experiments proceeded as follows: Engine 0, drawing a special train and approaching Saschsenhausen at full speed, received the danger signal and came to a full atop; the driver of Zm) then asked by telephone the cause of the signal and received from the keeper of a grade crossing, half a mile In front, word that a wagon had broken down in crossing the track and obstructed the line. After ten minutes wait the engineer of 2W) received word by telephone that the obstruction had been cleared awsy and thereupon resumed his trip. "A mile farther on the signal on 2P0 again sounded, and ths driver was Informed, by telephone as before, that the semaphore round a curve and more than half a mile distant was set at 'halt. Thereupon Engine 2M slowed down and proceeded cautiously, sounding its vhlstle at thort Intervals, the telephone bell in the drivers cab ringing continuously until the curve was roundtd, when the ringing ceased, notifying the engineer that the semaphore had changed to 'track clear. Thereupon y0 resumed full speed. "In the tests to prevent collision engine ICO came up rapidly from behind and on the same track as 2?0, which had slowed down and was proceeding cautiously in consequence of reported danKer In front. The moment that 141) came within 1,000 meters (1,033 yards) of 0 the signals on" both engines bepan to ring and their red lights to glow. Thereupon 1420 halted. th driver Inquired of in front the cause of the alarm, and a complete understanding between the two trains was Immediately established. "An important point In this connection is that In practice the same warning signal Is sounded upon every engine equipped with the apparatus which is on the fame track and within the prescribed radius a kilometer or a mile, as the case may be from the engine and the train which caüfe the obstructions. "If a semaphore be falsely set at safety the train may run past it into a block in which another engine Is halted or moving with perfect security that warning will be given in ample time to prevent a collision under any and all conditions of darkness, fog. storm or mistaken instructions. "The invention has other minor points of usefulness, but the foregoing will be sulTlclent to Indicate the general method of Its operations and the mea?ure of its efficiency. "In effect, it puts the engine driver of every train into instantaneous touch with other trains, switchmen and station and crossing keepers in his neighborhood, and keeps ever before his eye and ear an automatic and infallible signal which springs into activity the moment that his locomotive, whether running forward or backward, comes within the radius of danger from collision." Miners' Military Treasury. Nebraska State Journal. The statement that the coal workers union has a million dollars In Its treasury, even after the long and expensive anthracite strike, has been received with incredulity, but it is evidently made in good faith. The existence of large war funds is held to be a reason why the' unions should be incorporated for safety. On the other hand, if the money were held by a corporation it would be liable to seizure for damages in cat.es brought by people who have been ruined by boycotts or injured In labor wars, and that is something the funds are not raised for. Should Give Aid Speedily. Minneapolis Journal. Agulnaldo asks for a lot of money for the Philippines; more than they need.
