EASY DOOR FASTENERS.
Only One Kind of Lock the Expert
Burglar Can't Pick.

Only One Kind of Lock the Expert
Burglar Can't Pick.
"There's only one lock in the world
that l can't open if you'll give me a
few minutes at it, and as for ordinary
door and drawer locks, I'll open them
as easily as if there was no lock there.
Any expert burglar can do the same"
The foregoing statement was made
by an experienced locksmith of Kan
sas City.
"Few persons know how insecure
their homes are" he continued. "Few
persons realize that the average lock
is absolutely worthless for keeping out
an experienced burglar. The ordinary
door lock is good for nothing but re-
minding casual business or social call
ers that they must ring to be admitted.
None of these ordinary door fasten-
ers,' and that's the best you can call
them, will deter a burglar two whole
minutes. If there's no key in the lock,
he soon fits one to it. If there is key
in the lock. he inserts a pair of pinch
ers and in ten seconds has it opened.
Understand me. l am speaking of the
experienced burglar. The clumsy bur-
glar is the one who gets in trouble.
He'll tumble around with a lock until
somebody hears him. There is only
one unpickable lock made. That's the
six pin lock used by the government
1t will defy any expert. There are six
little steel pins in the lock. which
have to be raised just a certain dis
tance to open it. Some of the pins are
One-feurth of an inch long and some
of them a half inch. If one of the pins
lacks even a hairbreadth of being
raised the proper distance, the lock
will not open. 1t battles all the eX-
perts."
This locksmith is so expert he can
open the majority of safes by putting
his ear to the combination and listen
ing to how the tumblers click into
place as he turns it.
81 intended at one time to be a bur
glar," this locksmith declares. 81 had
it all planned Out-even had a set of
burglars tools made. Then I decided
that honesty was the best policy, and

Hay God Defense Charges Steunen-
berg Murder to Revenge.
Boise, Idaho, June 29. - Attorneys
for William D. Haywood. charged with
n ing former Governor Steunenberg,
= ntinued to center efforts on the dis
credit:ng of Harry Orchard and the
establishment Of their assertion that
Orchard killed Steunenberg in revenge
for the loss of his interest in the Her
rules mine. They irecGy attacked the
Vindicator explosion with the testi-
mOny of a witness tina made it appear
accidental rather than criminal.
Thomas Wood. a nOn-uniOnist who
entered the Vindicator mine as a tim
herman after the strike began. swore
that the night before the explosiR he
placed a box containing 25 pounds of
giant powder at the shaft of the eighth
level. He saw the powder the next
morning shortly after 10 o'clock, and
a few minutes later Superintendent
Mccormick and Foreman Beck come
to the eighth level They remained
but short time and left to go to the
sixth level, where they were killed.
Wood swOre that when he reached the
shaft 20 minutes later the powder was
gone, and it was a reasonable infer
ence that Mccormick and Beck took
it with them
Wood testified that he had seen a
revolver in Beck's pocket, that the
fragments of only one revolver were
found in the sixth level, and that the
bodies of Mccormick and Beck were
blown apart, indicating that the ex-
plosion had occurred between them.
Orchard said that he fixed a revolver
with a wire attachment, so that when
the safety bar was raised it would
send a bullet into the giant powder he
had placed. One witness for the state
has sworn that he later found a wire
attached to the safety bar, but Wood
said that he carefully examined the
safety bar and found nothing attached
to it.

THE GRAIN MARKET.

The last ten days have been siren
uous days in the grain markets. Tues
day a week ago everything was at the
high point in the morning, with a
moderate decline during the day.
This was followed by declines the
next three days. The market then
frmed up a little, but it was only
temporary. The money market tight
ened, railroad transportation became
more congested, and prices dropped
until wheat lost II cents; barley %
cents; oats 4 cents: and flax about 20
cents.
The market has been largely specu-
lative of late, and such a market is
more dependent upon easy money
than is the Legitimate demand. This
is particularly true of barley. Flax
is practically controlled by Standard
Oil interests. Wheat and oats come
nearer a Legitimate basis and have
shown more stubborness on the de-
cline, and the prospect seems good
for these two grains to recover their
loss later in the season.
1t is probable that the money mar
ket will right itself in a few weeks
and transportation get onto a better
basis. Without improvement in
these two lines there need be no ex-
pectation of much betterment in
prices. The past week has taken
$2,000,000.00 a day from the grain
men of Minneapolis to keep business
going at interior points, and this at a
time when there are few cars being
loaded and a consequent shortage in
bills of lading to deposit as security.
Such a demand soon exhausts the
supply, and the condition is made
still worse by the shortage of money
in the east. The talk about the west
and its country banks being able to
move the crops is pleasant, but it can
not be done. Every little town is
tied up with from 100000 90 to $780,
10000 in the elevators besides the
transit stuff.
Wheat is in the strongest position
as foreigners are taking hold OF the
decline.
The local market to-day Thurs
day. is: No. l, Northern, 90c; No. 2,
SSc; No. 3, "a; oats, 42c; barley, 75c;
flax, 81.

graphs as follows: Don't ship bar
