MANILA, July THE trial at Cabuna-
Filipino leader who was assassinated by the
guard of Aguinaldo's residence, Is ended.
The accused were acquitted on the ground
of self-defense. The testimoney showed
there was a conspiracy upon the part of
Luna and other officers to kill Aguinaldo
and make Luna dictator. Luna's death
seems to have strengthened Aguinaldo's S

OCTAVE CHANUTE HERE.
Inventor of Flying Machines Is Also
EmbaIminE Railroad Ties by
the Million,

Octave Chanute. the inventor of six large
size flying machines with records of over
1900 flights without an accident, is at the
Coates, en- route from Denver to his home
in Chicago. He is not experimenting at
present with his machines, but he does not
intend to let his fame one of the most
scientific and resourceful investigators of
the age in this field rest on his past record.
his time is taken up at present with his
plant for preserving timber, which has a
capacity of 100000 railroad ties annually.
Mr.. Chanute the consulting engineer, has
proven himself benefactor of the world
in other ways than by spanning a hundred
streams with bands of steel in all parts of
the West He has discovered how to make
cottonwood railway tie last as long as
an oak tie. He is improving on nature to
such an extent that hundreds of thousands
of ties of red and black oak, of mountain
pine, hemlock, beech and spruce are wait
ing for him to treat them with his embalm-
ing fluid.
He is an embalmer of ties, but in some
cases the distance to the Chicago and
Mount Vernon, H., embalming plants is so
far that Mr.. Chanute is now building n
gigantic plant on wheels. retort III feet
long, feet in diameter and weighing 30
tons is being put trucks. In addition
twelve tanks and boilers and other para
phernalia are attached to the movable
plant. 1t will travel over the various rail-
roads of the United States and multiply by
three the life of every tie with which il

NEW ANTI-STRIKE MOVE.
Choctaw Indians Ask to Have Strik-
ing Miners Removed From
Reservation

MUSCOGEE, I. T.. July 7.-(Special) The
secretary of the interior, upon the COM
plant and application of Green McCurtain,
the principal chief of the Choctaw nation,
to have certain striking miners removed
from the Indian Territory for violation
OF the tribal laws, has directed Special In
spector ZeVely to make AN investigation
and report as to the cause and extent of
the strike and all other phases of it, and
as to whether or not the striking miners of
the Atoka Coal and Mining Company and
the southwestern Coal and Improvement
Company in the Choctaw nation should be
removed. The chief names sixty-four per-
sons whom he asked to have removed from
the limits of the territory, for the reasons
that they are alleged to be promoters and
organizers of the strike. and that, if they
other miners will return to work.
The Choctaw nation is an Indian reserva-
ton, and all royalties due it from coal and
other minerals are collected by the United
States Indian agent. This money Is used
in educating the Choctaw Indians This
source of revenue has been cut down con-
siderable by reason OF the strike.
In compliance with the secretary's in
structions, Mr.. Zevely has notified the
chief, the attorneys for the strikers and
the officers of the coal company named that
he will begin the investigation at South
McAlester, "Wednesday the 18th. The re-
vised statutes of the United States imposes
upon the Indian agent the duty to remove
from his reservation person or persons
found to be there contrary to law, who are
Objectionable to the Indians, and if nee
eSsary, United States soldiers are at his
disposal to effect the removal Should the
Inspector report unfavorably to the striking
miners, ample authority to squelch the
strike by removing the miners Is found in
the revised statutes.

General Superintendent David Cameron,
of the Cudahy Packing Company, came
down from Omaha yesterday with ]. S.
Knox, of the company. to make prepara-
tions for the excavating work for the new
Cudahy packing house, on the site of the
old kingan plant in Armourdale. The work
will be begun on Monday morning and
will be continued with a rush until 1t is
completed.
I'VE will have one of the finest plants in
the United States" said Mr.. Cameron at
the Coates yesterday. 1.-The contractors are
ready to begin work on Monday and the
buildings alone will cover more than
twelve and one-half acres.
The fittings and machinery will be the
best that can be purchased"
VIII your company purchase any sup
plies of Kansas City firms" was asked.
we will give your merchants and con-
tractors every opportunity and will at
tempt to give them the preference In all
the work that is done,"i replied Mr.. Cam
eron. 1T is true that George Parks, of
Omaha, was awarded the contract for the
excavating and for the foundation work,
but Kansas City firms were given an op-
porfunity to bid. George Parks had the
lowest bid. He has been doing work for
US for six years, and probably knows more
about the prices We pay and the kind of
work that is wanted than anyone else.
There will be two more large contracts

will give the Kansas City contractors ev-

ASK FOR A REHEARING.
Ouafed Fire Insurance Companies
Want Another Chance before
Supreme Court.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, July 7-(Spe-
cial) The seventy-three fire insurance
companies against which the supreme court
has ordered a writ Of custer, revoking their
licenses to do business in the state for vio-
lation of the antitrust law, have asked q
-rehearing~ of the case. The motion was
filed to-day by Judge Given Campbell, of
ST Louis, representing all the companies,
and by Thomas Bates. of Chicago. repre-
senting some twenty-five of the companies.
The court meets again on July IA, and It is
= expected that IL will act on the motion at
that time. No one seems to doubt here that
the court will overrule the motion.
Campbell and Gates called upon Attorney
General Crow and on Superintendent of In
surance Orear for information as to how
10 get their companies back into the state
IL the supreme court denies them a rehear-
ing They learned nothing, because no one
appears TO know what can be done. The
prevailing opinion is that they cannot again
do business here, except by an order of the
supreme court allowing the superintendent
of the insurance department. to relicense
them. Mr.. Bates stated, while here, that
this opinion was the most important relat-
ing TO insurance ever rendered by any court
in the United States.
