Thefts-kansas Bank Is Boldly
Robbed In Broad Daylight.

One million dollars raised in various
States for the relief of San Francisco
after the earthquake fire is said to have
been stolen. A new investigation is be-
ing made in the graft scandal, and it APP
pears that sums of money. large and
small. which were sent from different
States for the relief of the sufferers in
the April calamity never reached the re
lief committee. f. j. Heney, Detective
William Burns and about 100 government
agents have been making the investiga-
lion. President Roosevelt is said to be
the moving spirit behind the inquiry. The
cases come within the jurisdiction of the
Federal authorities because the mails are
involved. A considerable sum of money
also was sent through the express COM
panies, which are investigating the dis
appearance of $4,000 sent in one pack
age by the citizens of Searchlight, New,
which the relief committee says it never
received, and which the company says
was delivered to the representative of the
committee to whom it was addressed.
Forgery is said to have been committed
by the raiders of relief contributions.

Devoted TO Looking over the
Work ON the Isthmus.

President Roosevelt, ON board the
United States battle ship Louisiana

The Presidents program included
four days on the isthmus. He arrived
at Colon on Thursday, Nov. 10, where
he was greeted aboard ship by Presi-
dent Amador of Panama, and Mrs.
Amador, Chairman Shonts and other
officials of the Canal Commission. A
considerable portion of that day was
passed at La Boca and Ancon, the
train making slow run across the
isthmus in order to give an opportun-
ity to see the sights and make an exam
ination of the work. At La Boca there
was an inspection of the present term

Panama railroad, following which
there was trip to nearby islands,
where the President was shown the
proposed actual Pacific end of the canal

At Ancon the day was made "fies-
ta,' with the town decorated and IL

were driven in carriages through the
principal streets, accompanied by an
escort on horseback. An address was
made by President Amador and a re-
Spouse by President Roosevelt. The
program included a visit to and in
Spection of all points of interest on the
isthmus, including the Culebra cut, the
site of the proposed dam and locks at
Gatun, and the present and proposed
terminals of the railroad and canal at
Cristobal.

Three-Cent Fares "a Fact.

Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland act
ed as motorman on the first trolley car
run over the 3-cent fare line of the Mu-
nicipal Traction Company. On the same
car with him were officials of the com
pany, city officials and newspaper men,
each of whom had paid cents for one
of the aluminium coins with the hole in
the middle which are to be used in place
of tickets. Crowds of men and women
along the line cheered the Mayor, who
thus came out victor after five years of
fighting in the courts against the trac-
ton combine. The company has thirteen
and half miles of track, but injunctions
have closed up all but three miles, which
was the length of Mayor Johnson's trip.
In the course of a speech the mayor said
it was the happiest day of his life.

Three Murders, Many RObberfes and
Attempted Crucifxfon Terrorixe.
Pittsburg is '.terrorized" and iikened to
"a mining camp or frontier town." With
three murders, a number of robberies on
the highway, accompanied by violence and
an attempt at crucifxion in twenty-four
hours, added to the large number that
have occurred during the past two weeks,
there has been such a public demand for
extra police that Mayor Guthrie and Di-
rector of Public Safety Ridgway have put
on a number of extra patrolmen without
legal provision for their compensation.
The record for twenty-four hours, besides
the murder of Henry +. Smith. young
business man of the fashionable east end,
who was shot by burglars, who entered
the Smith home, is extended by the rob
berry of Charles r. Lawrence. Nicholas
Lewis of Sharpsburg was beaten and rob-
bed and did not recover consciousness for
several hours. Raymond White of Du-
quesne also was found badly bruised, with
several ribs broken. The cruciixion case
was brought to light by the screams OF
woman in a tenement in Forbes street
near the Jones & Laughlin steel mills.
Neighbors rushed in and found Mrs. Jean
Mitchell, 10 years old, in the kitchen,
huddled in a kneeling position on the
floor, with both hands nailed to the drain
ing board of the sink, with the blood run
ming down her arms. The woman was
unconscious and was taken to hospital.
When she recovered she merely said that
when she entered her fat that morning
something struck her on the back of the
head, and she felt herself drawn toward
the sink, her hand pressed down against
the board and two nails driven in. The
police are looking for William Nicely,
known as William Mitchell, and the hus-
band of the woman.

MRS. VIM. j. LEMP. But for years the
couple have had bitter quarrels and they
have decided that the future happiness of
both and more especially of their 6-year-
old boy requires that they live apart. Sew
eral times they have been on the verge of
separation, but the wife's family has in
tervened. Now her brother says:
1T is matter of temper and it is
hard to tell which is most to blame. Mr..
Lemp is too much of a gentleman not to
permit my sister to sue for divorce now
that their differences have reached point
where the breach cannot be healed. Mr..
Lemp has led an exemplary life and is one
of the straightest men l know. There
are no sensational charges on either side.
When people can no longer live happily
together it is best that they should part. "
Mrs. Lemp has had much trouble with
her servants. She is known as the Law
ender Lady, from her stunning costumes
of that color. She has been conspicuous
because of her gowns, her lavish enter
tainments and her unusual beauty. Her
home is a veritable palace.

The directors of the United States Steel
corporation, at their regular quarterly
meeting, continued the dividends on the
common stock at the annual rate of
per cent. They reported net earnings
greater than for any similar quarter in
the history of the company, and more
untitled orders on hand than ever before.
The net earnings for the quarter were
$3S, 1924, and the untitled orders were
for 7,936SS4 tons. Chairman Gary said
that the company would begin steel man
ufacturing at the new town of Gary in
the spring of 1908. He said that the
plant at that point would cost S75,000,-
600, or so much more as may be neces-
sary.

IL
Cal, Burics scores.
AT least one dozen workmen are believ-
ed to have been killed in the collapse OF
the new Bixby hotel in Long Beach, CAL
A score of other persons were injured
and taken from the mass of wreckage
About twelve men are missing and two
bodies have been recovered. The total
death list will probably reach twelve. The
structure, which was of REINFORCED con-
crete construction, caved IN from the
basement to the fourth floor, leaving but
one wing standing. The cause of the
crash is declared to have been due to IN
sufficient floor support. Scenes of con-
fusion and panic followed the collapse.
The air was filled with the cries of the
injured and the groans of the dying. Res
cue parties were quickly organized and
the ruins entered to carry out those that
were still alive. Pinned under tons of
cement and steel girders, it was diff
cult task to remove the victims. Those
that were rescued were quickly taken to
the Long Beach hospital which was soon
crowded. Others had to be cared for in
private dwellings. The Hotel Bixby, which
had been under course of construction
for several months, was to have been one
of the best appointed hotels on the south
ern coast. The total cost of the building
was estimated at S750.000. The plans
called for 216 guest chambers and the
building covered a ground space of 10
x34S feet. Four stories of the structure
had reached completion. 1t was being
built on the beach facing the ocean and
about 200 feet distant from the shore.

U. S. FARM VALUES.
Prediction that Great Increase of
Past 3 Years VIII BE Maintained.

Past 3 Years VIII BE Maintained.
A very large addition to the wealth of
the nation has been made during the past
five years from the rise in farm values.
According to a circular issued by the
Department of Agriculture, based on 49,
600 answers to its inquirers, it is esti-
mated that throughout the whole country
farm land has increased more than SO per
cent in value since 1900. The last census
placed the total value of all farms in the
United States at $20, 439, 100000, so that
the increase since then, if the estimate of
the Agricultural Department is correct, is
nearly eight billions of dollars.
Among the reasons given for the rise in
farm values are rural free delivery, cleo
trio railways, good roads, the movement
of townspeople to the country, better and
cheaper transportation and market facili-
ties. and better methods of farming. Most
or all of these conditions are likely to per-
sist. so that a continued increase in farm
lands from these influences may be safely
counted upon. Good crops, better prices
for farm products and investment in farm
lands by persons who are not farmers are
other causes for increase in the value of
the lands, but these are more or less fic-
titious and temporary. The past decade
has been most bountiful period for the
farmers of the United States.

Rolls of bills, twenty thousand dollars
in all, were found floating down stream,
yellow-backed fifty and hundred-dollar
notes were seen sailing through the air,
and coins of gold, scattered a mile
through the country, were picked up by
the handful the other day when CALVIN
5. Harlan was injured fatally and his
fortune scattered. Harlan, rich resi-
dent of Baltimore county, Nd, did not
believe in banks, and he carried his money
with him wherever he went. He was
struck by a train at a crossing near Ash
land and died soon after. The locomo-
tive wrecked the buggy in which Harlan
was riding, and carried the wounded man
and part of the vehicle on the pilot for
a mile before the engineer discovered what
had happened and stopped the train. Har-
lan's pockets were crammed with Diiis
and gold, and with each revolution OF
the driving wheels some part of his Tor
tune was jolted loose and went flying
away. Great rolls of bills were found
all along the track. The railroad agent
at Ashland found $1,000 in notes floating
down a creek One passenger discovered
$1,000 wedged between rocks in Gunpow-
der river, waded into the water and res
cued the treasure. Another man col
lected $1,000 in gold and notes, and for
several hours a crowd was busy search
ing for the scattered wealth.

Fifty persons were killed and forty
more injured, some fatally, in a head
on collision between a Baltimore & Ohio
passenger train and a freight train
near Woodville, Ind, early Monday
morning. Six passenger coaches and a
number of freight ears were burned,
and many of the victims were cremated
before the rescuers could drag them
from the wreckage The disaster was
caused by some ones blunder.
The crash, when the two trains came
together, was heard long distance,
and the inhabitants of Woodville
and the neghboring towns hurried to
the scene and began the work of res
cue. The darkness added to the horror
of the scene. The fitful faring of the
shattered trains began to burn soon
lighted up the wreck. The cold made
the work of the first rescuers more diff
cult. Doctors were hurriedly sent for
and a score of them from near at hand
responded. The reScuers worked fran
tically with axes and whatever other
tools were ready at hand to free the
imprisoned injured before the flames
should reach them.
AS fast as the injured could be at
tended by the physicians they were
made comfortable on the train that
bore the hospital cots. This train was
loaded with as many of the hurt as
could be accommodated and started TO
Chicago.
The trains that came together were
the fast freight, known technically as
first 9S," driven by Engineer Burke
and in charge of Conductor Moste, and
the second section of express and pas
senged train No. AZ, driven by En-
gineer Reneman and in charge of Con-
ductor Brooks. The passenger train
was from Locust Point, Baltimore, Nd,
and carried 1871 passenger, nearly all
immigrants, made up of Russians, Ser
VANS and Poles, according to an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch.
At $40 a. M. the freight train backed
into siding at Babcock, Ind, to allow
the first section of the express to pass
For some reason the freight pulled out
again and continued on its way east.
1t met the six-coach express train at
Woodville, station four miles from
Laporte. Both trains were running at
high speed. They crashed together on
a curve. The engineer of the freight
train had only time to reverse his lev
ers, shout to his fireman and leap from
the cab. The engineer and fireman of
the express train did not know Of
their danger soon enough to make any
effort to save their lives.
The two engines were shattered and
the heavy freight train plowed part
way through the lighter passenger and
express. The cars of the latter train
crashed together and piled up in mass
of splintered wood, twisted steel and
shrieking humanity. Three of the fore
most cars of the freight train were
added to the pile and the engines and
tenders were in the center of it, Fire
from the fireboxes of the engines soon
communicated itself to the shattered
cars.
