ports this morning show the ter. ible ac
cident on the Santa Fe railroad last

ing By ten o'clock this morning fourteen

General Mannger Frey says it is im-
possible to place the responsibility of
wreck until a thorough investigation
can t.e made as many who could throw
a l'ght on the matter are among the
dead. Fivy says the responsibility
rctts between Station Agent Larson at
Lang Head Engineer Hollister of
train No. 1 and Train Dispatcher
King of Topeka. The general impres
sion aujong railroad men tcday is that
Larson caused the wreck by oeglecting
to turn thtj signal board at Lang after
having received orders for train No. 1
Uisfjat tte Ivng assorts that he sent
rdors to train.. No. 1 to wait at Lang
for the fast mail. '
General Manager Frey estimates
toe aamage caused oy the wreck . at
$40000 which includes two baggage
cars one mail car threa ' coaches- one
express car completely burned up
three engines almost completely des-
troyed by the crash and eub-
srquent explosion. Several farmers
who were 'standing on the platform
at Lang station assert positively this
morning that the signal to stop the
west bound train was displayed three
minutes before the train passed and
that Station Agent Larson rushed out
with a lantern only when he realized
that the sigDal was not seen by the
engineers of No. 1.
Wm. J. Bryan who was on the train
is
nervous and much disturbed todav
as a result of the catastrophe.
J. he scene on the arrival of the relief
train in Topeka this morning bear I no-
dead and injured was most pathetic.
Relatives crowded around moaning bit-
eriy; others anxious the learn th
news from relatives or friends. The
njured men red with their own blood
nd many unconscious were taken in
the Santa Fe hospital. Conductor Pat-
rson in charge of the relief train
says: "I never saw anything like it in
all my experience. You cannot imagine
the horror of the scene. Cars are piled
up in one indescribable mass and the
cries of the wounded were clearly audi-
Die aDove tne crackling of the burn-
ing cars."
