It' is believed that the missing are dead In the wreckage in the river into which the train plunged over an em bankment near the scene of tlja Johns town flood, ; " . At an early hour this morning this city was practically besieged by news paper men on their way to the wreck. .Trains were vfew, and to ireach the scene it was necesary to take a .ten mile journey of four or more hours around the "mountains. From the scene It was learned by telephone that the train was late going west. The en gineer was trying to. make up lost time. r- Cause of the Wreck. The wreck was caused by what is termed by. railroaders an unavoidable accident. The brake rigging on the first Pullman following the .combina tion coach on tho train dropped down and tore up the right rail for a dis tance of three hundred yards. The en gine and combination coach did not leave the rails, but tho four. Pullmans following ploughed down over the em bankment to the river bank, one hun dred feet below, overturning when they reached the bottom. The "eighteen hour train" travels at a high rate of speed, coming down the mountain. When the brake ciggtng fell it either stripped the heads off the bolts holding tho rails to the ties or tore. up the rails themselves. Every rail for the distance men tioned was . torn up, however. The (our Pullman coaches rushed down over the bank. "The speed at which thoy were travelling when they left the rails was terrific. There is a curve about where the first rait was loosened. The cars did not overturn going down the steep hill. There were no tre'es or obstruc tions in the way to hinder them, and they remained uptight until they reached the bottom. The first ' car overturned and slid along on its aide for quite a distance. The second car did likewise.. The third car, turned over completely and had its top crush ed In. The fourth car a on its sldft Most of the passengers on the train, were in tbelr berths when the cars left. lmaTg:?AtTemptrioasc(rtaln the accurate and definite casualty list "of the wreck have-thus far been hamper ed by the railroad officials.' ) WHAT OFFICIALS SAY.

There were lift j -four passengers on the train nearly all of whom wcro hurt. Only one passenger, John T. Kline, of Juliet, 111., was probably fatally injured. He- Is' In a hospital hare. , . The train left tWs city 46 minutes late and was running at high speed down the western slope of the Aleghany Mountains when the brake rigging on the first car fell and derailed the train. The engine and first car remained on the roadbed while the three rear cars slid down the. sixty foot embankment Into the South Fork branch of the ConO raadgh River, the cars falling over on their sides and being partly submerged in water. l, The passengers were thrown about, many of them from their berths.

Into the river. Fortunately the water was very shallow. Had it not been for this it is probable many of the passengers would have been drowned before assistance could have reached them. As jt was their, escapes from death was very narrow. - They were taken from the cars through the windows. Without clothing and exposed to the elements of one of the coldest nights of the year, the sufferings of the passen gers for a time were extreme. The ar rival of the train from the west and the prompt response of the doctors from Johnstown and South Fork saved them ' from suffering serious conse ttuence from extremely cold weather. The railroads officials at both ends of the Pittsburg division made every effort to care for the Injured. There were only four women on the train, and only one of them escaped injury, ' VERY LITTLE BONE IN SUPERIOR COURT. Superior court was adjourned shortly after noon today until Mon day morning.

Favorable Report on House Substitute Bill IT IS MADE STRONGER Williams Congratulates the Republi cans on the Measure, Declaring That They Have Seen a New Light and Are Enacting Legislation for Which Democrats Have Stood. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Feb. 23. Representative Dalzoll from the committee on rules reported to the house today immediate ly after the adoption of the conference report on the legislative, executive, and Judicial bill, a rule taking up and making of the highest privilege the house substitute for the LaFullette six teen hour railroad employes bill. The bill as reported by the committee on rules was amended in several places, the most important of which Is the elimination of the word "knowingly" wherever it occurs which has the effect of relieving the railroads of responsibil ity for overwork unless It is permitted or required with the knowledge of the railroad management that an employe has worked overtime. Another amend ment strikes out the provisions in the section regulating employment which roads: "Unless Immediately prior to said 24 hour period such employe had at least eight consectutlce hour soft dutyanddur Ing said period of 24 hours following had 4t least six conBectutive hoars off duty." It also eliminates the require ment that district atorneys shall act under direction or the attorney general In bringing proceedings against rail road companies and their representa tives for the violation of the law and I places the entire responsibility with 'the district attorney who is instructed 'to proceed upon "satisfactory verified Information," and finally the measure l so amended as to require "reason M Mr. Williams of Missouri, the leader 'of the minority, congratulated the re publicans and the country on the amendment -made by : thw rule.

Mr. Bartlett of Georgia, said the change that had come over the spins of the republicans was traceable only to the "big stick," and he asserted that the changed conditions had been due to tho attitude of the democratic members. After further debate, largely poll tieal, the resolution was adopted on a roll call by a vote of ayes 279; nays none. A LECTURE AT TRINITY BV MR. HENRY A. PAGE, (Special to The Evening Times.)
