Cordial approval of the inclusion OF
the express and sleeping car companies

Prot. Meyer also voiced his belief that
the pass system should he further re-

The provision giving the interstate
commerce commission power 10 fix tile

Mr.. HOST DEFENDS FREAR.
DECLARES THERE WAS NO POLITICS
IN TRIAL O. SECRETARY OF
STATE HOUSER AT MADISON.
EXPECTED THE VERDICT
MI. Eouser Is Found Not Guilty Of At
tempting to Bribe the State In
su-ance Commissioner.

MADISON, Wis, July II Special j
Considerable speculation is going on here
as to the political results of the Houser
trial completed last night when the jury
brought IN a verdict acquittng the seCrc-
tary Of state of charge of attempting
to bride Insurance Commissioner Host.
The friends of Mr., Houser have CON
tended that this trial would necessarily
hurt his candidacy for denomination and
the outcome made Senator Erear $
friends think that possibly the matter
will iujure the candidacy for the sena-
tor for the same Office.
Mr.. Host said today:
MIR. Houscr's charge Of political con
spiracy among Senator Frear,. myself
and others has no foundation whatever.
On February p, before Senator frear
announced his candidacy for the Office
Of secretary Of state, | received the toll
lowing letter from him:
"'Our insurance committee is engaged
In investigating all of the phases OF

ence legislation or any acton OF your

"Rcplying to this latter two days later

VEHICLE FOR POLAR TRIP.
Auto Locomotive Mounted on SpiraIB
 Invented by Minneapolis Men.

Auto Locomotive Mounted on Spiral1
 Invented by Minneapolis Men.
 A new plan to reach the pole was described in recent issue of the Min neapolis Tribune. The vehicle to make the dangerous journey is described as an auto locomotive, and the inventors are Charles E. s. and Frederick R. Burch. A test of the workings of the device is said to have been made on Lake Calhoun.
 Tne auto consists of four large spirals disposed in pairs, forming trucks. Each spiral has an opposite pitch to its fel- low, and so is disposed to rotate in an opposite direction, thus engaging the ice at different angles. Over these trucks is constructed car to house the explorers.
 It is the belief of the Burch brothers that the vast stretches of the frozen north are composed of practically smooth ice, or "rubble," as they call it, and that their device easily can sur mount these difficulties. They also have proved, they assert, that the ma chine can travel through soft snow of considerable depth. The model of the machine is alleged to have made eight cen miles an hour over ice and snow, but no mention is made of the fuel used. Neither is any computation of fered as to the amount that would be necessary to make the arctic journey or the manner of housing 1t.
 It is said, however. that the machine practically carves its own track, from which it cannot deviate, and that. un- like the automobile. it is impossible for it to skid" The Messrs. Burch have cOmbated the rigors of Alaskan ex- ploration, and they say that their ex- periences in quest of mineral wealth in frozen regions led to their invention and to the construction of working model. They entertain no doubt what ever that machine built according to their ideas easily would reach the north pole or even the south pole were it desired.

AS Tolstoi is the prophet of. non
 n resistance and peace, 50 Gorky n is the prophet of protest and
 revolution. The one, noble born. made himself one with the peas ant; the other, peasant born, made him. self one with the tramp and outcast. Both are elemental men, dealing with realities. Both have the pessimism and gloom of their race, and both dream of better things to come. The older man is Christian in his thought, though an unorthodox one, and his po- litical views approach those of the philosophical anarchist; the other is materianstic in tendency and avowedly a Marxian Socialist. Tolstoi is social ly conventional, has an ideal family life and has a moral armor in which. the world can find no flaw; Gorky is a bohemian in instinct, has left his wife and is living with an actress, and his ethical lessons have been learned in the social cellars. Both of these great Slavs believe worldwide upheaval is impending, but the old man of gen tie blood would have it warless one, while the young man of moujik de scent would meet force with force.
 Gorky is the interpreter of the tramp, the voice of the underworld. As he himself expresses 1t:
 T have come from below, from the nethermost ground of life. where is naught but sludge and murk. I am the truthful voice of that life,

Can Bat Ball Into Three states.

Probably in no other part of the United States. except in East Liver pool. O., is there a baseball diamond from which 1t is possible to bat a ball Into any one of three states. says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Such a condition actually exists at the grounds which have recently been leas- cd for the Klondike club at East Liver pool The diamond is laid out on a lot which is known as the state line corner" If a batsman makes c hit over third base the ball will be sent into West Virginia Should fosl tip result the catcber would have to chase the ball into Pennsylvania If a straight drive or a bunt Is made the ball will bowl into the state of Ohio Taking advantage of this freak of nature. the Klo1dIke club Is going to advertise the fact that its club will play ball In three states simultaneously.

A ProIetarian to the Limit.

Gorky is a pen name, meaning Bit ter" which is sufficiently illuminative of the mans attitude. His real name is Alexei Maximovitch Pieshkof. His fathers name of Maxim he adopted as his own. He was born in 1868 in Mini Novgorod. He lost his parents in youth and went to live with his grandfather, who taught him to read. At the age of ten he became appren- . ticed to a shoemaker, but ran away and entered a draftsman's office. In a year he ran away again and became kitchen boy on a boat. His next job was as a baker fin a cellar. which from his description of it was about as hor- rible q life as one could lead. After this he was a porter, chorister in travelling opera company, an apple vender in the streets. a lawyers copy ing clerk and an employee in a sta tion masters office. Once during this time he attempted suicide, shooting himself severely. but recovering from the wound. At another time he tramp ed pretty much all over Russia, con sorting with vagabonds and being one of the proletariat to the limit.
 It was while in the station masters office that Gorky published his first story in a Tifiis newspaper. He was twenty four years old then, and his later stories soon gave him fame In Russia and in time all over the world
 A story of the station master experi- ence reveals Gorky as the kicker then as ever. To a friend who had interest ed himself in the young mans welfare Gorky addressed the following note:
 The station master seems to be satisfied with me. and as q mark of his good disposition toward and conf dence Ia me he intrusts me with the duty of euptying all the Kitchen slops every morning. Please let me know whether 1t is part of ny immediate du- ties to csrTy the sI0ps from the station masters kitchen--

the old docks have tumbIed- and look like so much kindling wood. The tow CT of the ferry building is destroyed and broken. The passengers stream aboard the ferryboat-the only boats running are the Southern Pacific-and turn to look back upon their city. From this point there is something colossal in the disaster that has befallen. A great cloud is rising magnificent and overwhelming in its proportions, grow ing ever black and blackest toward the ground. spreading wider and wider. The red flames shoot skyward through 1t and but emphasize it's density and violence.
 Looks Back on Doomed City.
 The Fairmount's marble walls gleam orange through the flames. The Call building rises like sentinel, and far beyond you can make out through the murkiness black splotches upon the green, the people hurrying to tho San Bruno hills. On the Pine street hill I can see a row of old ramshackle cot tages that have slipped from their foun- dations into the street, apparently in- tact. On Telegraph hill, on the high est place, the sky line is marked with a garb of up-ended fringe of the people who have sought refuge up there at the top of the streets.
 There are no trains moving other than the Oakland local when we get to Oakland, for there are no wires to send train dispatches on. At last train moves out to Stockton, taking Its chance, and few venture on it. It is 10 o'clock, and we have nothing to eat and drink, but we give no thought to that. I plan to make my way to San Jose and telegraph from there, but by Il o'clock we know that Sau Jose is wiped out.
 A few wan, red eyed refugees from San Jose are coming to San Francis co, and we meet them at Niles. San Jose is fiat on the ground" San Jose is gonew These are the messages they bring All brick buildings are down there.
 A man who was in the St. James ho- tel there tells me how the side fell out of the room he was sleeping in and the brick chimney fell in upon his bed, and yet he escaped. ....=
 TlxH security of the rails was sus- pected, and the train travelled eau tiously. From East Oakland nothing was known of incoming trains or the condition of the road. Collisions were imminent. and every curve was breathlessly rounded. Each bridge and trestle was a new danger, and when the train crept into the Altamont tun- nel it seemed as if no one breathed in any of the dark cars, and sigh swept through when the daylight gleamed at the other end Coming from Oakland to Stockton the effects of the earth quake were apparent as far as La thrope, lesSening as we drew away from the mole. Our train only crept along at times.

way into the sunlight? Who can un- ravel the mystery that veils the mind of genius even from itself? Who can determine the exact quality of soul tone that makes the voice of an i'm mortal? Who can tell the sources of the divine urge by which the great ones of the race are driven? We hear the word and see the deed, but know not the prompting that sent them forth. We recognize the genius and hail him with gladness. but cannot tell whence he came. Poverty and want did not make Gorky. else they would make millions more like him. They modified and eolored, but did not cause him. They were the avenues through which he arrived, but not the force that sent him forward. That issues from something deeper. Seek not in external accident and incident for the power that makes character. They mold. but do not inpel. Environment is but the contour of country that shapes the rivers course. It Is not the thing that makes the river flow. Out ward happenings may give direction to a life, but do not determine the vol ume or momentum of that llfe's ex- pression. Look not on the superficial to solve the riddle of great man. You must search below the surface to find the secret of a Shakespeare or a Soc rates. Men are greater than the ma ferial through which they manifest. Pack of the seeming Is substance; back of the appearance is reality. Gorky may be the voice of the slums. but Is not their product any more than a traveller is the product of the coun- try he may visit and afterward de scTibef Gorky is q Russian mOujik. but he Is more. just as the individual Is always more than his attendant cir -umstances There gre hundreds of slav nobIes. but only one Tolstoi; there are millions of sIav peasants. but only one Gorky.
