'L|NEMAN KILLED
IN EASTERN
NEVADA
Struck by Flyer While in Deep
Cut Between Wells and
Moors on Tricycle..

A report from Wells states that two
who are constructing block systems
near there were hit by No. 5 Wednes-
day night while they were riding on a
tricycle., between Moors and Wells, re-
sulting in the death of one and injuries
which may prove fatal to the other.
They were going west and were pass
ing through the cut near Cedar. about
six miles east of Wells, when No. |.
came up behind them and struck the
tricycle.. One of the men, CHRIS Kuscn-
man, of Auburn, CAL, was thrown or
top of the pilot and was instantly killed.
His body was frightfully -mangled. The
other man, whose name is Jekins, was
thrown to one side into the ditch. II
was reported that his injuries would
prove fataK' but it is learned that ae
was not as badly injured as was first
supposed. and may recover.
Kuschman's body was not removed
from the pilot until Wells was reached.
Jenkins was taken to Wells and is un-
der the care of DIR. Olmstead. Under
taken Keyser was telegraphed for ano
prepared the body for shipment to aAu-
burn. where it will be inferred.
No blame is attached to the engineer.
In the cut where the men were struck
il was impossible to see them until TOO
late. AS it was impossible to hear a
train coming from behind, it is probable
that kuschman never knew what struck
him.

THE CAPITOL WELL.

The cave at the park well continues,
says the News. The ground for a diam

15 feet. Rock from the prison quarry
estimates that 1t will require about
twenty more loads to fill the hole. The
sink was doubtless ceaused by the
pumping OF quicksand out of the drill
hole, but the jarring of the drill may
have had something to do with the
matter.

WORLD MAY COMPETE.
Canal Commission viii Buy Ships in
Omen Market.

Washington. May 1.-THE executive
committee of the Isthmian Canal Com.
mission has decided TO purchase In
the markets of the world the material
and ships necessary for the building
of the Panama canal.
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because II was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
surely be great outcry from two
great interests in this country, the
producers of material and the ship
owners. II the purchases were not lin
tied to the American products. But 1t
was decided that the money consid-
Grafton was so great that 1t could not
be ignored, for II was held that In
some cases fully fifty per cent. more
would be charged for material needed
In canal construction than the same
goods could be produced for In Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace. for in
stance, showed that two ships In addi-
ton to the ones running between New
York and Colon and owned by the
Panama railroad, were absolutely nee
essary to carry the food supply and
material needed for the work. NO
American ship could be bought at any
reasonable price. and when 1t came to
building such ships 1t was found, ac-'
cording to Secretary Taft's statement.
that while he can buy two 2.GOO-ton
ships In Europe for $750.00O. 1t would
cost $1.40O,0OO to build such ships
here. And. in addition. while the Eu-
ropean ship could be had at once. 1t
would take at least eighteen months
to secure American boats.
As to material needed for canal con-
struction, the committee decided that
by reserving to itself the right to pur-
chase in the worlds markets. 1t would
at least oblige American manufactur-
ers to give them the beneht OF their
foreign prices If they wish to sell
goods to the committee.
Secretary Taft explained that he
felt obliged to endorse this decision
because. having given Congress every
opportunity to give contrary decision
he felt that the very terms OF the ca
nal act provided that 1t should be con-
structed at the lowest possible cost.

Industrial School for Giris-Ex-

Denver. May 16.-Following is the
Republicans version OF the Industrial
School difficulties:
All OF the five members of the board
of control of the State Industrial
School for Girls have resigned, not
just three of them as stated yesterday.
The designations have been in the
hands of the governor for the last
week and he will appoint a new board
to reorganize the work at that institu-
ton.
The members of the present board
are Mrs. Martha Taft, Mrs. j. b. Hun
ter. Mrs. Harriet G. r. Wright. Rob
ert NJ. Colder. all of this city, and DR..
Josephine Peavy OF Colorado Springs.
The dissolution OF the board Is the re-
suit of abolishing corporal punishment.
as stated yesterday. and the trouble
has been brewing for some time. Mrs.
Taft. Mr.. Colder and DIR. Peavey are
n majority OF the board and they are
opposed to inficting corporal punish

intendent and she Is disciple OF Solo

with the matron.
Starting with this disagreement, the
trouble grew until. 1t is said. one men,
ber at least went around peddling
scandalous tales about other members.
The majority have been ready to re-
sign for some time. and have an en-
tirely new head. but II has been i'm
possible to bulge the minority. Gov.
ernor Mcdonald was able to use some
sort OF hypnotic influence and finally
secured the designations.
Since corporal punishment has been
abolished. Il Is alleged. there has been
lax discipline at the institution. as well
as numerous escapes. and IL Is charged
by the majority that the matron takes
that way OF demonstrating that the
place cannot be properly conducted
without plenty OF whipping.
The law requires that there be three
women on the board, and how Gov.
ernor Mcdonald will make IL up Is a
problem. 1t has been suggested that
he name a board which Will agree to
