DROWN IN CARM Loads of Passengers Dumped Into Deep Water WAS MOMENT OF WILD TERROR Twisted From Track on Trestle Over Thoroughfare Inlet by Tnrned-in Rail, Cars of Electric Train From Camden Poise on Edge and Then Drop 15 Feet into 30 Feet of Water With Terrified Passengers, Atlantic City, N. J., Special. By the wrecking of a three-coach elec tric train on the West Jersey & Sea shore Railroad Sunday afternoon at least 50 passengers perished and the tirst may roach the total of 75 when U is known. While crossing over a drawbridge spanning the waterway known ase "the Thoroughfare," which separates Atlantic City from the mainland, the train left, the track and plunged into the water, with one or two excep tions, were drowned. Ui to mid night 25 bodies have been recovered and it is believed that at least 25, and possibly 50, ino;e bodies still are in the submerged coaches. The disaster, the worst that has happened since the terrible Meadow wreck of July 30, lS'JO, occurred at half-past 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The train, made up of three heavy coaches, which left Camden .at 1 o'clock in the afternoon carried at least S3 passengers, as that number of tickets are held by the conductor. Inat official is uncertain, however, just bow many passengers were on the train, and until all the bodies have been taken from the submerged ears, it will not be possible to tive the true figures of the dead. Recuers Could Do Little. The accident was witnessed by many persons on shore ana assistance was promptly sent from Atlantic City. Little could be done, however, towards saving the lives of those im prisoned in the submerged coaches. The water at the point where the train plunged in was not deep enough to cover the coaches at lirst. but as they quickly settled in the mud, and as the tide rose, they were soon hid den from sight except for the trolley poles. Divers were sent down to try to reach the dead bodies in the coach es, but as darkness set in aud as the tide ran more swiftly, they were un able for a long time to reach them. Late in the evening a wrecking crew arrived on the scene and with their .v.d and ti e use of a derrick, -a dozen or more bodies were taken out and brought to the city. Of the 25 bod ies, about 20 have been identified, and it is believed no difficulty will be experienced in establishing the iden tity of the others. General Manager W. W. Atierbury of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- any, arrived on the scene and will niiike a thorough investigation into the cause or the accident. Until this investigation shall have been made, Mr. At te '-bury declined to make any statement. T. C. Smith, of Xewffcld, and A. K. Keliey, of Jeffersouville, N. Y., who were passengers on the train, got off at Pleasantville for no other rea son than that something told them to change their minds about coming to Atlantic City. About lo people got off at Pleasantville, said they, and nearly as many more got aboari. They said fully 100 passengers were on the train, a great many women. John Eades, of 112 Bay street, this city, a parlor car man, was on the train and escaped by crawling through a window of the rear car and swimming ashore. The old man who at tends - the bridge, in speaking of the accident, declared that the bridge had been opened about three minutes before the train came along. A vaeht pass ed through. He says that he saw that the bridge was properly closed aud that the tracks were inspected. He cannot explain why the rails behaved as they did. Cotton Warehouse Burns. Eutaw, Ala., Special.

Washington, Special. Under a rul ing of the inter-State commerce com mission, transportation over railroad lines net longer may .tie" giveil to news paper publishers of editors in ex change for advertising space in their newspapers. A protest- against this ruling has been received lry the commission from the Massachusetts Press Association. The association unanimously voted' o "enter its protest against the report ed ruling in holding that the payment for railroad transportation at full- rates in advertising shall be treated on any other basis thati that of trans portation paid for;in cash." In a letter to Secretary Hefferman. in response to the protest, Chairman Kuapp, of tbe commission, says; in.. part, after quoting the section of the law which prohibits the issuance of free transportation paid for in any other way than in cash: "You are, of course, aware that ali tariffs filed in compliance with the regulating statute name rates in dol lars and cents aud do not in any case provide that transportation can be paid for with property. It seems plain to the commission that the law above quoted, coupled with the fact stated, permits payment for services of inter-Stale carriers only in money. "This ruling of. the commission "in no way interferes with or abridges the right of private contracts. News papers and their advertising space may be frealy exchanged for any species of property upon such terms as may be acceptable to the parties to the transaction, but the facilities of the public carrier are not private property, nor are ihey the subject of bargain and sale like merchan dise. The right to travel .or have property carried by rail, like the right, to the common highway, is not a con tract right but a political right, the very essence of which is equality. "Conceding that the advertising' arrangements in question are ordi narily made aud carried out iii good faith, it seems plain to me that these arrangements must as a practical matter involve some measure of dis crimination, and it is not easy for me to see how an honest newspaper can seriously object lo a ruling of the commission which appears to be in obvious accord with the provisions ond the pin poses of the regulating statute," Fresident Takeg A Hand.

Miss Hel en Summer has - been sent here by the Collegiate League of Equal Suf frage of New York to investigate wo man suffrage as as it is practiced in Colorado. "It is very amusing to me to see the women as they act at conventions," she said, in speaking of her observations. "They jabber away among themselves just as they do at a .club meeting until a subject comes up to be voted on in which they are directly interested. Then they stop talking, prick up their ears and begin- electioneering1. They do not act a bit worse than the men do; though, except that the men are not qitite so noisy. I really can't say yet Whether I am a believer in woman suffrage. One thing I have learned, that women do take advantage of their voting privilege. The registra tion books of tbe last election show that 44 per cent of the votes cast ivere by women.
