LOSS OF LIFE

MAY

REACH A HUNDRED; ARRESTS LIKELY Coroner Carson Thinks Balti more and Ohio Officials are Responsible for Alarming Number of Deaths. CLAIMS COMPANY HAS NOT' GIVEN OUT CORRECT LIST Vlany Hurriedly Buried in Trenches Without Any Religious Ceremony Twelve More Bodies Recovered. f Publishers Pressl Chicago, Nov. 13. Coincident ".with todays declaration by Coroner Carson that Baltimore and Ohio railroad offieils far understated the number or victims in yesterday's wreck near Woodville, Ind., comes the announcement that many arrests may be ex pected within 48 hours. The coroner thinks he will be able I to show that railroad omciais were responsible for the loss of 85 to 100 I lives in the accident. If he succeeds the Indiana authorities propose to do. all In their power to send the. re sponsible persons to prison for man slaughter. The States investigators ci the tragedy are furious over division superintendent F. C. Batchelders order for the, burial of the charred corpses in two large boxes on the very scene or the wreeu 'lnder sucn cir cumstances as made identification impossible and with such haste that no religious' ceremony could even bo attempted. Victims Underestimated. The authorities agree: with rela tives of the killed In the opinion thai the railroad deliberately, understated the number of victims. The Imini-; grants who lost their lives in the1 accident had many children with them to whom no transportation was issued and, as the death list was estimated by subtracting from the num ber of tickets the list of known eurvivors, it is pointed out that no ac-1 count was taken of these little ones. It is believed that many children perhaps scores, died in the wreck, and were hastily tumbled into tren ches in the hone that actual know ledge of. their number might be con cealed forever. Officials Insist on Fifty. The railroad officials still insist that not more than fifty were killed Coroner. Carson thinks the actual number was. not far short of double the railroad estimate. To prove his contention he has de layed his verd?ct pending a fuller in qulry at Chesterton and an examinlation of the survivors here. Twelve bodies were taken from the hwreck today. So badly were thev (Continued on Page Two.)

In order ko put an end to such communications. Acting Secretary of War Oliver has di rected that the reports of Col.

VALUE IS DEPRECIATING STANDARD OIL AFFECTED Antannnictir Attitude r1 th f?mfn- J ment Causes Stock to Value Several Points Falling off of One Third Since 1902. Publishei-s Press! New York, Nov. 10. Standard Oil which closed yesterday at 5S5, sold this afternoon from 565 to 575 on the curb market. Brokers declared that the antagonistic aKitude of the federel authorities toward the company was responsible for the continual drop in the stock. ' In . 1902 the stock was selling'"at 8.40,- the highest mark it ever reached. In January of this year' the slock was selling at 7.00, a drop of 1.40 a share compared with the price current in 1902. The closing price yesterday was a drop of 33 1 U per cent in value compared with the selling price of 1902. This means the shrinkage in value of many millions of standard oil stock. FIREMAN STRIKE AVOIDED JOINT CONFERENCE HELD Eastern Kaitroads Temporarily Fix up Their Differences with Men and at the End of Six Months Decision will Be Made. KubllsherB Press"! New York, Nov. 13. Following the statement by Grand Chief Stone, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, that in' his opinion there would bem strike-of firemen on the Erie railroad, tho statement was made that the difference between the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads and the firemen employed by them had been settled, for a time, at least. This announcement was made after a joint conference held at the offices of the two railroads in the grand central depot. At this conference it was decided that the new electric motors which are being installed on the two roads, will, for a period of six months, be operated in the same manner in regard to the time and wages, as the present steam locomotives. During that time the officials of the road will decide whether any change in the rate of wage3 or mileage will be made.

WILL St THtBt TO VWTN TO PANAMA DALBEY SOUVENIR IS A FINE Filled With Splendid Pictures and Well Printed, It Is a Credit to City, GIVES PAST AND PRESENT WORK IS PREFACED YITH INTERESTING HISTORICAL ACCOUNT AND HAS VALUABLE: VIEWS OF OLD RICHMOND. n,lhm--e. .-"ontenn n Souvenir ana f mh-i ficiuxiax xxiotux, v, - - mond, which has been in preparation for . the past seven months or more, was issued yesterday, fresh from the press of the Nicholson Printing Company. Undoubtedly the most elaboiate work of its kind ever published in Indiana and perhaps in any city of like size in the west, the volume Is a credit to Ed F. Dalbey and his sou, Walter Dalbey, whose indefatigable labors made it possible and to the Nicholson Printing Company who executed the work. The volume is prefaced by a historical ketch of the city of Richmond and a resume of its industrial and commercial enterprises. Almost every phase of Richmond's civic life is touched upon and though necessarily brief, the historical data provided is accurate and worthy of the prominent place it occupies in the work. The pictorial features of the souvenir are of exceptional beauty and interest. The hundreds of half-tones of the city's beauty spots, of her .educational institutions, churches, factories, business houses, residences and prominent citizens are striking examples of the modern art of illus trating. There are numerous , pictures which reflect the pioneer days of Richmond also, notably the reproduction of an old-time photograph of David Hoover, the first settler ou what is now the site of Richmond. The photograph of David Hoover, jr., who died a dozen years ago, also is shown as is an excellent photograph of the Hoover homestead. The Oli ver Morton homestead at Centervilie is also shown. Earlham colle?o is given special attention in" the work) and the old Quaker institution s beauty of envionment was never more clearly brought out. Taken as a whole the souvenir seems to have neglected nothing that should interest the present and past citizens of the fair Quaker City. To enumerate the scores of commendable features would require more space than the Palladium can devote to it, n--' even then an adequate idea of the real beauties and value of the volume could not be. done justice. An inspection of the volume will surprise and delight and there is no question that there will be a large sale of them. The edition printed is limited and there will not be another edition printed. As a memento of Richmond's one hundredth birthday, the Daibev souvenir has special attrac tion and it is deserving of a conspicuous'place in the home of every citiV zea of Richmond. "
