Tha wires ware blown down and It waa some time before the Big Four officials here learned of the explosion. Relief trains were ordered out from Terre Haute and Peril. Ilia., and tbe dead and injured were taken to both cities. The work of the reaming party waa hampered by the almost complete de-s- t met Ion of 'the train and the hissing timbers which were Ignited by the explosion. The train left Indianapolis at 4:40 p. m. Raturday evening with Engl; neer Welch and Fireman Rowland! both said to be from Mattoon. Ills. The names of the other members of the crew are not obtainable tonight. Many gruesome finds were made by the relief party end It Is probable some of those who were blown to pieces or were cremated will never be Identified. From the most definite Information obtainable the freight train bod Just cleared the main track and had come to standstill when the passenger started to pass it. It is thought that the concussion caused by the "passenger set off the powder in tbe freight car. G. M. Armstrong, agent at Sand-forstated that he thought the car contained aiiont eight hundred kegs of powder. He said he waa standing In the dour of the station when the explosion occurred, and that he at once called some section hands. They secured an engine, broke an switch and went to Paris, Ills., for relief. beAll means of communlcstlon tween this city and Sandford were rut off and since (he men from Sandford bad not stopped to ascertain how much damage was done, the passengers received no eld until the relief train reached the scene. The engine passenger train was s mass of flames and the relief part was able to reach only the passengers who had been either blown from the train or were able to crawl from the coaches after the explosion. Two of the men who were cremated were still alive when the relief party Irom this city reached the wreck, bnt the rescuers were unable to reach tbm and were compelled to stand and watch them burn. The flames lighted np the scene so that the rescuers did not have to work In the total darkness. The aratinn cf Sandford anas turned Into a morgue. After the physicians from Paris. Ills., and the members of the relief party from Terre Haute arrived the flames died down so the men had to work by the dim light of lanterns. It is not known how many passenger were on the train hut It Is said tha'. both car were almost full. Only about sixty have been accounted for and it Is thought a number were either killed outright or were tinned under the wreckage and hunted to death. Eight cars of the freight train were burned. None of the freight train's crew waa Injured. - Inter-lockin- g Saw Mill Operators Hava Last Thou--i sand of Dollars Because Unable to Market Product Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 9. InvMUga-tkminto the lumber car shortage hy Interstate Commerce Coinrataaioner Franklin K. Lane today developed facta showing the Northern Pacific equipment to be entirely Inadequate to handle tbe lumber products of western Washington. Sawmill owners told how smell mill concerns are gradually being forced Into bankrupt d ry, how lhe larger concerns have losses which will reach into hundreds of thousands of dollars and how thousands of mechanics have been thrown out of employment by failure of tha Northern Pacific railway to furnish cars enough to enable the 750 woodworking ftlants on their i line to market their product. Sawmill operators calmly detailed how, through no taiilt of their own. they have lost thousands of - dollars during the pant eighteen months all because they have not 'hem 'able t market their product but they, com- -' pllmented the strenuous efforts of 'the local officials of the Northern Parlflc to relieve the situation and said that while the Taootna i allroad men had done all they could to aid the mills, the fault lay In mismanagement of the higher officer In tlie east General James M. Alahton, of represented the. lumber Interests, assisted by Austin E. Griffith of. Seal tie. More than forty lumber manufacturers attended the hearing and all showed intense Interest In the proceedings. On tbe side of the court room occupied by the Northern Pacific officials were James B. Kerr, general counsel of the railroad, with hradqiiarters at Gl. Paul; K. J. Cannon, division counsel, of Spokane; J. D. Woodworth, trafflo manager. of St. Paul, and Third Vice President C. M. Levey; Assistant General Superintendent 11. E. Palmer, General Western Freight Agent Henry Blakeley, Sn)ierlntemlent W. C. Albee, of the Pacific division and a large array of minor officials and clerks. At the request of General Ashton, on behalf of leading lumbermen owning mills In the northwestern part of the slate, the Investigations were by the commissioner, the Inquiry to lie resumed Tuesday at the county court room a in Seattle. Details of tbe testimony in which Commissioner Lane Indicated that he was most especially Interested and concerning which he questioned several witnesses closely, related to the policy atlrged to he fathered by Jan. J. Hill, if allowing cars io accumulate on the sidetrack and then running long trains serosa the continent The at a very alow rate of speed. manufacturers stated that this policy has caused the car shortage to be felt much more than 1 would otherwise have 1een. The mill men said that 80 per cent of the cars need by the Northern for the transportation of lumber traffic, belong to other railroads. All of those cars have to 1 returned east by tlie same route whence they came and unless the mill men have shipments going In that direction they have found it necessary to adopt the policy of holding the cars and paying demurrage charges until they can secure an order for shipments going to points along the fine of the railroad wltneesea owning the car. Certain long charged discrimination as to the and abort haul on the part or lhe Northern Pacific. All agreed that 1' now taxes from 90 to 100 days for the delivery of a car from Puget Sound to Minnesota transfer points, while before the Northern Pacific and other western railroad passed tnto the control of Mr. Hill shipments were delivered on an average time of three a ous-taine- - Ta-cisn- a, nt ' eon-tinn- Pa-ctf- lc weeks.
