CUTS WIRE AND DIES.
Man Attempts to Prevent ConfIagra-
ton and Loses His Life.

Bingham Junction, Utah.-Edward
McDermit, telephone lineman, was
instantly killed Sunday night by 1900
volts of electricity passing through his
body while he was trying to save an
electric piano from burning up. The
accident was caused by one of the
main feed wires of the Progress Power
company of Murray, which supplies
the town with electricity, coming in
contact with a guy chain supporting
an electric sign in front of the Leader
store. In so doing, the full current
passed through the chain and heavily
charged all the electric light and tele-
phone wires on that transformer in the
main business part of the town. A half
dozen other people were injured
when they went to turn ON their lights,
and that none of the others were killed
is regarded as miraculous.

was somewhat less than in 1905, in
both imports and exports, AZ per cent
of the total imports were drawn there
from and "A per cent of the total ex-

CROP PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
AND NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Former Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw Sees No Reason for BEING
Blue Over Present Financial
Situation.

| New YOrk.-Leslie M Shaw, former
secretary of the treasury, authorized
| the following interview on the present
financial and industrial conditions:
Our farms produce more than So
5OO,O0O,000 per annum and the pros
pect is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than $1,000, 900 900
and our forests more than 81 900 ,OOO,-
600 and neither of these sources of
wealth has been exhausted The out
put OF our factories in other than food
products is $12,000,00O,O 900 and no fires
have been extinguished. The railways
earn more than $4,000 900 and they
are all in successful operation. The
payrolls of our factories and railways
aggregate approximately $3,5O0,O0O, 900
600 and the scale of wages has not
been reduced. In other words the real
sources of the peoples wealth have not
yet been affected and the ability of in
dustrial concerns to pay dividends is
not measured by the market price of
their stocks. Logical reasons for SER
1ouS conditions are therefore wanting
Psychological reasons are never want

IF judge correctly, the people will
have exactly what they expect If
those who have money in the banks
withdraw it and lock it up; if the
banks refuse to grant accommodations,
and If the consuming public decline to
place orders, then we will very soon
witness the effects. Let those who
think that times of disaster follow each

prominent members of both parties.
The country might have survived any

Government Official Says Prohibi-
ton Will Keep Many Desirable
Immigrants Away.
Says the New Law Will Make the
Neqro Worse In His Habits, as He
viii Take the Lead in De-
fiance of Law and
Hypocrisy.

Washington.-A high official of the
immigration bureau is authority fol
the statement that the prohibition
movement in the south will seriously
interfere with efforts to get immi-
grants to that section of the country.
1t is none of my business" he said,
although l have been cooperating as
far as possible with the immi grafton
bureaus of the states of South Caro-
lima, Virginia and others. So soon as
the class of people being sought in
the south find out that prohibition
laws cucumber their personal liberty
they will refuse to go south, and
those now there will leave.
The German, Austrian, Swede,
Finn and nearly ali other classes of
Europeans will not go where they can
not get beer. Besides that, they re-
sent any interference with what they
shall eat or drink, believing these are
matters of personal liberty. They do
not hold the view that so light a
drink as beer, when taken in moder-
ate amounts and under circumstances
to which they are accustomed, is
either a sin or crime.
People of the countries mentioned
look down upon whisky drinking in
this country as a moral weakness, to
which Americans should not be adj
dicted, and probably would not care
what happened to the ardent spirits,
but they object to being deprived or
beer. Personally, | think great mis-
take is being made in the south. Ii
these prohibition laws are being en-
acted to make the negro a sober cit
izen, the error will be discovered in
few years. The negro will now be-
come an imbiber of the cheapest and
most fiery grades of mean whisky,
and | will venture the prediction that
in prohibition states of the south
crime will increase. 1t is history that
prohibition runs out the mild drinks
like beer and brings in the worst OF
the ardent class.
THE negro naturally goes with blind
tigers, and it Will not be long before
he will take the lead in defiance of
law and hypocrisy. He will copy
after the white man, it is true. When
he sees prohibition laws defied, he
will pay less attention to other laws.
1t is well known that in many por-
tons of the south where prohibition
is in force through local option, the
negro has turned to cocaine and
drugs, and has become so worthless
that he is a menace"

Associated Press.

Washington, October 5.-Members
of the interstate commerce commits
sion will proceed tomorrow to Chica-
go, where on Monday hearing will
be granted the railroads to protest
against the commissions recent rul-
ing regarding the posting of tariffs at
all stations. The ruling has been held
in allegiance pending the hearing of
the complaints Of the railways.
Railroad men declare that they are
willing to furnish tariffs to- all who
ask for them, and that tariffs are reg
ularly mailed to all large shippers.
To post a copy of the tariff at each
station, the railroad men allege, would
involve the expenditure of hundreds
of thousands OF dollars each year
1t is commended that the average small
shipper does not consult a tariff to
ascertain the current rate, but ac
cepts the rate quoted by the railroad
agent. ia
