ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE
IN THE LOOMS CASE
Mystery of His disappearance Has
Has Net Been solved.

Mystery of His Disappearance Has
Has Net Been solved.
London, June apparently moth
ing is known in regard 10 the disap-
pearance of Kent J. E.oomis. brother
of Assistant Secrett y of State
Loomis, who was a passenger on board
the North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm II. which left New
York June IA and arrived at Plymouth
Monday morning and at Bremen yes
terday.
Inquiries made at Bremen show that
Mr. LOOMS was seen n midnight
Sunday on board the steamer and that
he was missing at l o'clock Monday
morning. No one seems to know
what happened in the interval.
The representative of the agents
of the line who boarded the
Kaiser Wilhelm II at Plymouth spoke
to Capt. Hoegemann, the purser. the
doctor of the steamer and others on
board but they had heard nothing of
the disappearance of the passenger.
dispatch received here from Bre-
men to-day reads as follows:
The North German Lloyd Company
has no information about Mr.. Loomis
beyond the fact that he was missed
steamer at Plymouth. Whether it was
an accident or suicide is not known"
dispatch from Paris says that APP
prehension has been aroused there con-
corning the whereabouts of Mr.. Loom
is and that on the request of friends
the agents of the company are making
inquiries.
P. F. Murphy, passenger on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, who is now in Lon
don. says he saw Mr.. Loomis shortly
before the passengers landed at
Plymouth. Mr.. LOOMS was going on
to Cherbourg. Mr.. Murphy does not
credit the idea that Mr.. Loomis COM
mitted suicide or the theory that his
disappearance is due to an accident.
Berlin, June 22.-E. A. Gimbel, who
was a passenger on the North German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II from
New York, which arrived at Plymouth
Monday morning and at Bremen yes
terday. tells the Associated Press that
Kent ]. LOOMS was last seen shortly
before the vessel reached Plymouth.
Mr.. Gimbel is not certain whether Mr..
Loomis disembarked there or disap-
peared while crossing the channel
The vessel was detained thirty min
utes at Cherbourg for a thorough
search of all the cabins, which was
without result. Mr.. Loomis intended
disembarking at CherbouEg.
1t appears that Mr.. LOOMS was in
the habit of sitting high up on the
upper deck, among the boats, posi-
ton regarded as dangerous.

The message urges consideration of
the question of agricultural schools, as
presented in the Governors message
of November, 1902. Such schools, the
Governor believes, will supply, in a
very large degree, the gap which now
exists between the common schools
and the State University, the school
of Technology and other colleges. 1t
would be much better to have a high
school with an agricultural feature con-
nected with 1t in every county in the
state than to have only one of such
schools in each congressional district,
but the lack of funds may make II
necessary 10 begin the system with one
school in each district. In line with
these schools Is the work OF the farm
erss Institutes. The trustees of the
State University, recognizing the value
Of such work, arranged last year for
a systematic course OF farmers insti-
tutes throughout the state The insti-
tutes held under this plan demonstrat-
ed their value 10 the agricultural In
terests Of the state, and IN order that
this work may be enlarged and car-
ried on ia a more general way. Gov.

CoSI Mtning Scale signed

The meeting of the sub-scale com
mittee Of the united mine workers Of
America and the operators of the rem
ira, competitive field. comprising Illi-
hois. Indiana, Ohio and western Penn
s%y'vania, began at Indianapolis, Ind.
The new scale, embracing a ron
tract for two years, provides for n re-
duction in wages of $50 per cent,
roughly speaking, or a general reduc-
ton equivalent to one half of the last
increase in wages.
The scale was signed by the joint
Sub-scale committee. consisting of two
miners and two operators of each of
the four states forming the central
competitive district. No change was
made from the original proposition of
the operators which was vetoed by the
miners. The next joint committee
meeting will be held at Indianapolis.

How to Assess Elevators

State Secretary Bennett has an
nounced the method 10 he followed in
the assessment Of grain elevators
throughout the state under the new
@ law. Under the old law eleva-
tor companies were assessed on the
amount of grain on hand in the eleva-
tors on April /.
As a result moot companies cleaned
up" shortly before that date and the
assessor found little grain to assess.
Under the new law the companies must
pay taxes on tangible property and
capital employed in handling grain.
The real estate, buildings and machln-
cry will be assessed in the usual man
ner, The capital and grain will be de-
termined by taking the average amount
OF grain on hand during the year and
valuing il at the average price for the
year per bushel.
