Y , July 11 Three men were killed early this morning when express train No. & ot the New York Central and North ern and Western Express,' bound for : Ihiffald was derailed near here by a car door, which had fallen to the track from a southbound freight. The engine and three cars were de molished and the ten other cars were all derailed, every passenger aboard being shaken up and one, badly hurt. The dead: James Tyndal, Rensselaer, N. Y engineer; died under surgeon's knife. Robert Holmes, Rensselaer, fire man, scaled to death.. " John Ray, Croton, N. Y., baggage master, killed as the baggage car was smashed; '- ' " v "' v - ' ' The train, which left the Grand Central Station, New York, at 12:03 a. m., was making sixty miles an hour on a level stretch ol track when tne'accident occurred. A slight curve prevented the engineer from seeing the obstruction on the track till i..e pilot was on top of it, according to the trainmen. The operation on Tyndal was per formed at the side of the debris, a giasB plot being turned into an op erating room by the four surgeons who were hurried here from Hud son, eight miles away. While the passengers struggled to straighten their individual affairs, the engineer's crushed leg was ampu tated as the shrieks of his fireman, trapped under the steam-filled en gine, harrowed the spectators. The wreck tied up traffic oil all four tracks, necessitating a detour. Northbound traffic was deflected at Hudson to the Boston & Albany road and southbound traffic was carried over the Boston & Albany to Chat ham, entering New York over the Harlem division. . : It was said that the tracks could not be cleared before afternoon, though a big force of wreckers was struggling with the debris at top pressure. , ' . One of the first to arrive on the scene was Coroner George Rogers, of Hudson, who dircted the removal of the bodies to Hudson. Medical aid was called from Pough keepsie, also, and several of the pas sengers suffering from shock needed treatment. They were taken in a Kpeclal relief train to Hudson, where the Journey was resumed in a new train. According to the few words murmured by the engineer between the time he was found at the side of the track and the moment of his death, he jumped for life at the in stant of the crash. He did not save his lite but he avoided the terrible death met by his fireman. Caught In the wreckage of the en gine's cab, pinioned under ' red hot iron bars, Fireman Holes directed the rescue work as long as he retained a clear mind. With the choking, blistering Bteam all about him, Holes called encour agement to his fellow trainmen as again and again they were beaten back in their efforts to reach and ex tricate him. The babbagemastar was killed in a whirl of death with Nlying trunks in the closed car. In the overturned and splintered car, he was found crushed beneath a pyramid of trunks which had been piled upon him after being shaken about like dice in a box. His bady was badly mangled.

LOEB SEES ; TlFi TODAY Loeb Is Expected to Tel the President Where Mrl HEIS ANXIOUS TOKHOW Loeh Says He is at Beverly to Discuss the General Political Situation With Mr. Tuft but Without the Knowledge of Mr. RooStevelt Be lieved That Loeb Has at Iieast a General Idea of What Roosevelt Is Aiming at President - Wants to Know Just Where His Former Chief Stands IiiiHrtant Confer, ence Before End of the Week. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Beverly, Mass., July 11 A confer ence, the political effects of . which may be far-reaching, is being held at Burgess Point today, between Presi dent Taft and William Loeb, Jr., col lector of the port of New York, and the one man who knows intimately the mind of Theodore Roosevelt. According to Mr. Loeb's statement, 1 1 v i.i.iii. o 1. 1. . i nuuvub i in.' nuifniUQD of Colonel Roosevelt to discuss the general political situation. Back ot that there is understood to be a pur pose to put the president in posses sion of at least a general Idea of what Roosevelt is aiming at. ' . . . The advantage of a Taft-Roosevelt ' atllance -would be-mutuaL.J ',-.. The Colonef would beeneillted bj- the supjiort of th federal patronage wielder in New York state.- Tail would gain by the prestige ot being backed by his predecessor. The. president is credited with a desire to understand just where his former chief stands. Recent events at Oyster bay and the news dispatches that have crept out of Beverly have lut both Taft and Roosevelt consid erably up in the air. They are work ing at cross purposes, which is not de sirable to two men, both of whom are anxious for the success of the: repub lican party at the November, elec tions. : .-. Recognizing the right of Colonel Roosevelt to exercise the rights of an independent private citizen as he lileases, and with no desire to ques tion the Colonel's acts, the president at the same time has a natural cur iosity to know just what Roosevelt projiosed to do in order: that he may shape his course accordingly. : Hence this conference with Loeb, who came here at Secretary Norton's invitation, though with the full knowledge and aiqiroval of the presi uent. The explanation of his con sent to speak for Beveridge of Indi ana, which was allowed to creep out here Coincident with Mr.r Loeb's ar rival is believed to be an indication of the trend that affairs are taking. A -.speech for Lodge, the reaction ary, to be matched by a spdech for Beveridge, the progressive, is suppos ed to represent Roosevelt's desire to steer a middle course. In political jiarlauce, it is believed that: before the conference is ended this afternoon there will have been a show down. Taft and Roosevelt will then understand each other perfectly. Incidentally, if will be definitely decided, it is understood shortly after Loeb's return to New York or follow ing the conference at Oyster Bay to morrow between Roosevelt akd Gov ernor Hughes, whether the. Taft- ' Roosevelt-Hughes combination is -to lock horns with the Barnes-Woodruft-Wadswortli combination on the prop osition to make Loeb the republican -standard-bearer in New York this fall. ";.; -.
