CROSSES THE ARKANSAS.
Progress Being Made With Orient
Work ut Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, June 10-The Orient
railway bridge which spans the Arkan-
sas river at Bailey street was compile
ted Friday and the laying of track on
this side of the river from the bridge
to the junction with the Frisco tracks
at Gilbert street was commenced today
Superintendent McRae and his bridge
crew left Saturday for Red river on the
Orient line where they will begin work
on a bridge. Before leaving Mr.. Nc
Rae said: I'VE came here three months
ago and commenced the bridge We
but it has taken us just three months.
We have been delayed from time to
time, waiting for material. Several
weeks ago, carload of % foot piling
to be used in the middle of the river
got lost and tied up the work. The
bridge is now finished and the track
laid on it. There is no reason why the
laying of track from the east end of
the bridge through the southeastern
portion of the city should not begin
soon.''
Two years ago a section of track on
the west side between the west end of
the bridge and the junction with the
Missouri Pacific tracks was hurriedly
laid with old steel The Orient had to
lay this track in haste in order to save
its franchise and bonds. This old steel
is now being torn out and the gap be-
ing laid with heavy new steel rail The
old rails will be brought over and used
for sidetracks in the southern part of
the city.
The "shacks'' on the property recent
ly acquired by the Orient for a freight
depot, at the southeast corner of Nose
ly and Douglas avenues, are being re-
moved preparatory to beginning work
on the depot. It is the intention to
have this freight depot ready for oc-
cupa~cy the latter part of the year.

WORSE THAN WAR.
Appalling Fatniities Among Mem

Appalling Fataiitieg Among Mems
hcra of Americas Industrial Army.
Important steps are soon to be taken
in New York City and elsewhere to es-
tablish a system of compulsory and accu-
rate records of the enormous number Of
persons who are annually killed and in
jured in Americas vast army of indus
trial workers. In New York City alone
the meager records obtainable are start
ling. In 1904 there were 4,162 persons
killed in New York City through acci-
dent and negligence as shown by the re-
ports of the department of health, and
these reports are said to be incomplete.
DIR. Josiah Strong, president of the In
stitute of Social Service, in speaking of
the number of persons killed each year
in our industrial occupations, made some
astonishing comparisons. He said
I'VE in the United States kill in four
years some 10000 persons-more than
fell in battle and died of wounds during
the four years of the Civil War. We are
killing more than twice as many every
year as persisted by violence in both the
French and English armies during the
three years of the Crimean war.
There are more killed and wounded
on our railroads every year than the en-
tire losses of the Boer war on both sides
in three years. We have industrial cas-
ualties enough every year to keep one
conflict like our war with Spain going
for 1,200 years or twelve such wars go
ing for 100 years. Our peaceful voca-
lions cost more lives every two days than
we're lost in battle during the entire
Spanish war.
From the best statistics obtainable |
may say there are to-day $4,000 persons
in the United States under sentence of
death to be executed at an unknown mo-
ment during the next ten years. 100
next week and the same number every
week until the CHASTITY work is complete.
An intelligent and earnest effort would
procure the reprieve of a multitude of
these innocent Victims"
An exposition will be held in the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, in New
York City under the auspices of the
American Institute of Social Service for
the purpose of studying and exhibiting
safety devices for dangerous machinery,
methods of industrial hygiene and to set
in motion the movement to establish a
more accurate RECORD OF INDUSTRIAL iaCan-
ties and accidents in all parts of the
country. At present Wisconsin is said
to be the only State in the Union where
any effort is made of official compilation
of these statistics.
In Europe there are several permanent
museums of this character where experts
are constantly studying how to safeguard
industrial employees and as a result the
percentage of death and injury from acct
dents has been greatly reduced. Ex-
President Cleveland and many other
prominent and influential citizens are in.
terested in this new movement.

Famous Murder Trial.
Sun.


The trial in New York of Harry f.
Thaw for the murder of Stanford Whine
at the Madison Square roof garden june
-, 1906. was opened Monday morning
by the State without asking for the dis
misSal of any more jurors and the ovi-
dence was begun. Assistant District At
torney Caravan opened with an address to
the jury for the prosecution. Mr.. Gar
van congratulated the jurors on their body
having been completed and then outlined
the purpose of the law. which was not
seeking for vengeance, but to uphold the
security of the State. He urged the inn
portance of the case and n strict observ-
ance of the law in order that a verdict,
fair to all, might be reached.
1t was the claim of the people. he said,
that on the night of June -, 1906, the
defendant "shot and killed. with premcd-
itation and intent to kill" one Stanford
White He then briefly outlined the move
ments of Mr.. White, beginning with the
Saturday preceding the tragedy and end
ing with the actual scene of the shooting
at the Madison Square roof garden.
Mr.. Caravan told how Stanford White
had on June - last taken his son Law
renee and q schoolmate of the latter to
dinner at the Cafe Martin. The boys
had bought tickets to the New York The
alter roof garden and declined an invita-
ton of Stanford White to accompany him

That there is something insane in the
modern situation of business which en-
ables capitalists to work up hundreds of
Millions in fortunes while they are spend
ing their tine, travelling or hunting or
other leisure class sports, is the frank
statement made by DIR. Felix Adler before
the Ethical Culture Society of New York
City. He insists that there is no due pro-
portion between the wealth and the needs
nor between the wealth and the deserts.
The men who, through the commercial
spirit of the day hire child labor or who
sit down and devise ways of cheating
their neghbors by ADJ terating food so
as to enrich themselves, he declared to
be virtually insane persons who should
be shut up in sanitarums until they can
be cured. He admitted that the so-called
captains of industry had carried out great
works such as railroad building, but that
they had rendered these services only for
their personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. DR.. Adler
does not think that philanthropy solves
the problem of wealth acquired through
foul means, but in spite of all this, he
does not regard himself as socialist.

Bill for Tax Ferret,

The provisions Of senate bill No.

the taxation of moneys and credits,
and provides that it is the duty of the
state board of equalization to en-
plOy a competent man at a salary Of
not to exceed $500 a year to inspect
the books of banks and the public
records of the different counties Of
the state to learn what, if anything,
in the way Of moneys and credits have
not been returned to the assessors,
and report the same to the boards Of
equalization of the counties and the
state, and it is made the duty of those
bodies to place the same upon the tax
roll for assessment purposes. Bankers
who have read that provision say that
if it is enacted they will have to tenn
temporarily go out Of business the 1St

be enough cash left in their banks to

will be drawing out their deposits be-
