LOU DILLON HAS A RIVAL.
The Gcldins, Major Delmar, Equal,
Famous Mares Record, Trotting
Mile In Two Minutes.

New York, Sept. 26.-The big event
Friday at the Empire City track was the
effort of the champion gelding, Major
Delmar, to beat his own record of 2:O0N
and to beat the worlds record of 300
held by Lou Dillon. He trotted most
wonderful mile. and in game, but tir-
ing finish. shot under the wire in the
record time. After preliminary warm
ing up the gelding champion came out
for his great trial at 4:3O. He went
round the first turn, broke and came
back. At the second attempt he went
away as steady as clock and got to the
quarter in 3OH seconds. Up the back
stretch he shot with such lightning
rapidity that he flashed by the half
mile pole in SO seconds. Then the
grand stand rose and cheered as the gal
liant son of Delmar few round the top
turn to the three-quarter pole in 1929,
and came home to the wire in 200, thus
equaling the time of Lou Dillon. 1t was
a splendid performance by the animal,
which only this week changed owners
at the highest price-$4O, ,OO0-ever paid
for gelding. Major Delmar is New
York animal bred and foaled, trained
and owned in the Empire state.

Einia--Nine Men Are Killed
and Seven Injured.

Charlotte, N. c; Sept. 29.-While run

On the Southern railway, the south
bound fast mail train, jumped from
trcstle Is feet high. half mile north of
Danville, Va, Sunday afternoon and was
almost demolished. OF the crew of 16
nen, including mail carriers, on the train,
nine were killed and seven injured
The dead are: Engineer j. A. Broadly,
of Placerville, Va; Fireman A. G..

ton, Va; Flagman, S. ]. Moody, of
Raleigh, N. c., and l2-year-old son of
]. l.. Thompson.
The trestle where the accident occurred
is 500 feet long and is located on sharp
curve. Engineer Broadly was new man
on that division of the Southern, and it
is said he came TO the curve at very
high rate of speed. The engine had gone
only about so feet on the trcste when it
sprang from the track, carrying with it
four mail cars and an express car The
trestle, a wooden structure, also gave way
for space of so feet. At the foot of the
trestle is a shallow stream with rocky
bottom. Striking this the engine and the
cars were reduced to a mass of twisted
iron and steel and pieces of splintered
wood All the dead men were killed in
stantly. it is thought. and all were great
ly mutilated. The skin and hair on the
engineer and fireman We're torn off by the
impact of the steam engine.
1t seemed miraculous that anyone
should have escaped, for each car fall
ing with the engine bounded from il
and completely collapsed after striking
the rocks at the foot of the trestle
All unofficial opinions that have been
ascertained agree in giving only one
cause for the wreck-the high speed OF
the train on the sharp curve. Train
No. 81 was running about ar hour be-
hind time 1t is thought that the en-.
gineer, being unfamiliar with the road
did not take into consideration tht
danger of coming on the curve with
such great velocity.

HELPS The CROPS.
Weather Proves of Aid-COnditiOns
In the Corn Belt Reported
Very FANOrnble.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary OF crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions for the
week ending September 2S were gen.
orally favorable, although cool nights
were detrimental in the South Atlantic,
eastern and central gulf states, while
light TO heavy trosts, for the most part
causing no serious injury, occurred in
the more nor,herly districts eastward
of the upper Missouri valley. A marked
feature OF the work was the absence OF
rain, or the occurrence of only very
light showers, over much the greater
part of the country east of the Rocky
mountains.
The principal corn states have en-
perienced Weather conditions eXcep-
tionally favorable for maturing late
, corn, and while frosts have been quite
general over the central and eastern
portions of the corn belt. no material
damage is indicated. Probably less
! than 20 per cent. of the crop in Iowa is
unmatured and while the proportion
yet exposed to injury in South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin is greater,
the immature will make good feed:
/ farther south only very small part of
/ the crop is still soft. Cutting is general
: in all sections and some new corn has
been marketed in southern Kansas.
While the conditions have been favor
+, able for thlashing spring wheat in the
spring wheat region. reports of damp
ness of grain in shock as result of

now completed on the North Pacific
coast and thrashing has advanced

FLOUR MILLS CLOSED.

Minneapolis-Three More
to Follow.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept 25.-Four-
teen of the II flour mills belonging to the
-Washburn, the Washburn-
Crosby and the Consolidated Milling
companies have been closed down by
the strike begun Wednesday night. The
remaining three, which belong to the
Washburn-Crosby company, will be
closed down as 500. as the wheat in
the bins is run out. 1t was part of the
plan of the strikers to leave every mill
in good condition with the wheat all
run out. They are satisfied with the
action of the operatives on the mills still
running. There is no sign that the four
small mills. with total capacity of
1000 barrels daily, belonging to inde-
pendent companies, will be disturbed for
the present. although they have not
granted the demands of the strikers. The
union men held meeting Thursday to
discuss the situation.

RIOT AT THE 500.
Angry Workmcn, Unable to Get Their
Pay, Attack Property of COnsOli-
dated Lake Superior Company.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. 90
The situation in the Canadian 500,
which was the scene of serious rioting
by the discharged employees of the
Consolidated Lake superior company
all day Monday, is very grave. No re-
endorsements of militia have arrived
from the outside and the only defense
against the mob, which grows hourly,
is a more or less demorali2ed police
militiamen. An assault upon the Of
flee building by the mob early Monday
afternoon, before the arrival on the
ground OF troops, was successful, and
mass OF rioters secured possession
of the ground floor OF the building,
destroying everything movable that
came in their path. A crowd of the
vented their gaining access to the up
per floors OF the building. Every
window and door in the building is
smashed in.
| Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. 3d.
There were no further disturbances Mol
day night nor early Tuesday in the
/ Canadian 500, but the situation has some
elements which do not promise long
continuance of the present peaceful con-
dition. In the first place, every saloon
in the town is wide open, and most Of
them practically in the laboring men s
| districts are being patronized heavily by
the hordes of idle men who composed
| MONDAYS mob, In the second place, 800.
instead of 400 men were reported at
Wiers, a Numbering camp of the company,
IL miles up the Algomar Central road,
and it is this body of men the railroad
has refused to transport to the 500 un-
der present troubled conditions. OF this
number rs walked in Monday, reaching
the 500 about midnight, and the rest of
them walked down Tuesday. This big
accession to the ranks of the unem-
ployed is looked upon as sure to cause
| trouble, unless the authorities show more
vigor in dealing with the situation.

PKtsID EMIT ON UNIONS.
Positively Refuses, to Dixcrinni in 10
in Favor of Organized

washington. Sept 3O.-An important
conference took place at the white house
Tuesday night between President Roose-
welt and five members of the executive
council of the American Federation Of
Labor, including President Gompers and
Mr. Mitchell, head of the miners union,
during which the case of Foreman W. A.
Miller, of the government printing Of
fee, was dismissed because he had
been expelled from the local o6binder's
union and afterwards was reinstated by
direction of the president, was the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion. The confer
ence was granted at the request of the la
Dor leaders. The Miller case was very
fully presented by the members of the
executive council, at the colse of which
the president made statement in which
he announced that his decision not to
dismiss Miller was final and that the
question of his personal fitness must be
settled in the regular routine of admins
tration. The statement in full is as fol-
lows:
II thank, you and your committee for
your courtesy, and appreciate the op-
portunity to meet with you. 1t will al
ways be pleasure to see you or any rep
resentatives of your organizations or Of
your federation as a whole. AS regards
the Miller case have little to add to
what have already said. In dealing
with it ! ask you to remember that am
dealing purely with the relation of the
government to its employees. must gov
ern my action by the laws of the land
which am sworn to administer. and
which 6ifferentiate any case in which
a party from all other cases whatsoever.
These laws are enacted for the benefit of
the whole people, and cannot and must
not be construed as permitting discrimi-
nation against some of the people.
~ am president of all the people of
the United States. without regard to
creed. color. birthplace. occupation or
social conditions. My aim is to do equal
and exact justice as among them all. In
the employment and dismissal of men in
the government service can no more
recognize the fact that man does or
does not belong to a union as being
for or against him than can recognize
| the fact that he is a Protestant or q
Catholic. a Jew or a GENTLE. as being
for or against him.
"ln the communications sent me by
various labor organizations. protest.
ing against the retention of Miller in
, the government printing office, the
! grounds alleged are twofold: I. That
he is nonunion man; 9. That he is
not personally fit. The question of his
personal fitness is one to be settled in
the routine Of administration detail, and
cannot be allowed to conflict with or to
complicate the larger question of gov
ernmental discrimination for or against
him or any other man because he is OF
is not a member of q union. This is the
| only question now before me for deci-
sion; and as to this my decsiion is
!, final"
