BOILER EXPLOSION IS
NARROWLY AVERTED

Douglas. Ariz., August 21.-But
for the fact that the fireman noticed
that no water was oozing out OF a
small leak In the bottom of the boil
er of Nathan Reid's well digging ap-
paratus yesterday, he would have
turned a stream of cold water into
the boiler and an explosion would
have resulted. Ten men were stand
ing within a few feet of the boiler
at the time the discovery was made.
Some one during the night had
visited the machine, which was be-
ing used on the Smith ranch near
here, and had turned all the water
out Of the boiler but had left the
water glass In such shape as to in
dicate that there was plenty of water
I'm the boiler. A fire was built and the
fireman was about to turn more wa
ter into the boiler when he discov-
cred that the leak which had been
causing trouble had ceased to leak.
An investigation showed footprints
leading away from the machine
through an unfrequented pasture.

BICYCL|ST
Clara Zehnder Struck by
Train In Presence of
Many People.
VICTIM SCARCELY
MARKED BY SHOCK

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug, 21.-Clara
Zehnder of East st. Louis was struck
by Vandalia train while riding a
bicycle this afternoon and killed in
stantly. The accident occurred
where the Collinsville road crosses
the Vandalia tracks, half mile west
of Dansdone, and was witnessed by
big crowd of people, who were
coming in from the fishing resorts
along the Collinsville road.
Miss Zehnder lived with her sister,
Mrs. Birdie Duff and Miss Nellie
Zehnder, in the Eagle building, 209
North Fifth street. For several
weeks she has been taking lessons
i'm telegraphy from Ira Laws, an
operator employed by the Baltimore
and Ohio. who works not far from
where the girl was killed. She start
ed out on her wheel about o'clock
today and 1t is supposed that she
was going to the office where she
had been taking lessons. The train
was outbound, and the crossing at
that point affords a good view of
the track to the west, but for some
reason Miss Zehnder failed to see
the train, or at least misjudged the
speed with which 1t was approach
ing, and tried to get across.
The engine struck her head and
knocked her 10 feet to one side. Her
bedy was not bruised, and although
killed instantly, there was only a
slight mark on her head.

STRIKERS SAY COMPANY
MAILS MESSAGES
TO TEXAS
Collects for Them at Regular
Rates From Its
Patrons.
BODY BLOW AIMED AT
TELEGRAPH OFFICIALS

Dallas, Tex, August 21.-There is
no change in the telegraphers' strike
situation in Dallas today. The strik-
ers allege that $50 messages paid for
at the rate of so cents for ten words,
were received by the manager of the
Western Union yesterday evening
from st. Louis under special delivery
stamps through the United States
mail. They were distributed by mes
senger boys and purported to be tele-
grams.
j. w. Gardner owner of the Dali
las baseball team of the Texas
League, has agreed to donate 25 per
cent of the gross receipts of next
Thursdays game, between the Dallas
and Fort Worth teams, to the strik-
ing telegraphers.
Fraudulent Use of Mail.
ST. Louis, Mo, August 2I.-The
Commercial Telegraphers' union will
aim blow at the Western Union and
Postal telegraph companies this
morning when information will be
lodged with Robert NJ. Fulton, in
spector in charge of the st. Louis di-
vision of the postoffice department,
charging the companies with fraud
ulently using the United States mail.
According to Worth Rogers, a strik-
ing Western Union operator, evidence
sufficient to warrant a complaint and
legal action has been gathered. 1t is
alleged by the telegraphers that the
Western Union and Postal are taking
kilograms from the people of st.
Louis at the regular toll rates and
sending them 20 their destination
through the United States mails.
Claim TO Have Proof.
Members Of the C. T. u. A. assert
that they have afiidaWts and stamped
envelopes to prove their assertions
and all of them will be turned over to
inspector Fulton. In case II is found
that the United States authorities will
not take up the matter, suit will be
filed in the federal court charging
the companies with obtaining money
under false pretenses. Under the
present postal statutes there is no
law covering the matter Of sending
kilograms through the mails. The
strikers allege, however, that the ac-
tion of the telegraph companies comes
under the same category as any de-
vice to defraud the public that IS
punishable under the federal statutes
Dodgers Issued.
Dodgers were issued last week
from the strikers headquarters
charging the Postal and Western Tn
lon with using the mails for the send
ing of kilograms and charging the
people from fifty cents to a dollar
for work that only costs the com
panies two cents. At the time the
telegraph officials fiat fOotedly de-
MED the assertions Last night they
reiterated their denial and dehed the
strikers to produce evidence 10 the
effect that they have been defraud-
ing the public.
The strikers state that IN some
cases patches Of kilograms are mailed
d telegraph offices in large cities and
there they are placed I'm telegraph
envelopes and sent to their destina-
lions This ASSERTION Is also denied
by the officials of the companies.

UNION PACIFIC WILL

AUSTRALIA
Scarcity of Labor in West
Causes Lack of Fuel
For Railroads
Use.
BIG WAGES PAID
TO COAL DIGGERS
Many Japanese Laborers Are
Drawing as High as S170 Per
Month For Work In Mines
and Increase Is
In Sight.

Omaha, Neb., Aug, 21.-The scar
city or labor in the west which has
reached an acute stage, has resulted
IN curtailing so much coal mine work
that the Hartman lines, which have
abundance of fuel In their own
mines, have been compelled to order
coal from Australia. They have al
so made contracts for 1000 tons per
week from Illinois, paying one doll
lar per ton and seven dollars per
ton freight, to Garfield, Utah. The
japanese workmen In some Union
Pacific mines are drawing as high as
S170 per month, and wages may go
still higher. The Union Pacific is
urging commercial dealers and priv
ate consumers to lay in as large a
supply for the coming winter as
possible in order to offset the famine
The railroad itself has stored up two
million more tons than ordinarily for
It's own use.
Shortage All Around
Other railroads In the west are in
like condition as regards the fuel
situation. There is a sharp demand
for labor in all branches and the
high prices paid to men In the coal
fields do not seem to be at all tempt
ing to most OF the idle men. Indica-
tions point to a still greater shortage
of coal and the Pacific lines propose
still greater amounts In order to be
safe for a winters supply.
Private consumers In larger cities
are buying their winter supplies but
the large amounts of fuel used by
private residences as a rule are yet
unbought. Prices will undoubtedly
raise before September Is.

Empire.
EMPRESS ADDICATION
WILL ASSIST PLOT
From Present Indications United
States May Be Compelled to
Block Jdpdn's Plans to
Swallow Up Nations
of East.

Shanghai. China, August 21-If
the United States is nervous over the
aggressive assumption of power of
the Japanese, then China, miserable
weakling Of the world powers, is pam
ic-stricken.
Japan is determined to dominate
the Chinese empire.
The mikado's government has rem
dered its position to do so secure,
first by the war with Russia and now
by those numerous treaties or under
standings arrived at or in every
power interested in the far east, with
the expection of the United States.
An official of the United States gov
'ernment, who has Investigated condl-
tions in the Orient, says:
In my opinion, based upon many
interviews and my knowledge of con-
ditions both in Japan and China, the
Chinese empire, now rapidly falling
into the NAV of Japan, will be the
rock upon which will split the sup
posedly friendly relations of the Uni
ted States and Japan.
II am personally aware that many
highly placed and educated Chinese
officials and influential men hold
the opinion that ii will only be by
wiping out the effete Manchu that
China can be saved from Japan. But.
on the other hand, their natural lack
face" or punishment, preclude them
from making any overt move in that
direction.
"Tt is announced t8at Tsi-an, aged
dowager empress, is to adbicate al
the next Chinese new year, and that
the government will pass into the
hands of the emperor.
Unwarranted Hope.
This, of course, means joy to the
educated class referred to. They have
long hoped for the death of the en-
press, now In her 72d year.
But with her abdication the en-
pire falls into the hands of a puny
emperor, who. with his queer ideas
of modern government, would be easy
prey for the designing Jap.
Whatever the process may be, II
is plain that greedy Japan will have
no rest until she has put her hands
deep into China's hidden store OF
wealth and closed this unique mar
ket to the west.
Unless the United States is will
ing to let the market slide, and per-
init a knockout blow to Americas
natural, If future, influence in the
far eastern Pacific, nothing will pre-
vent Japan from carrying out her
designs.
''The unrest which has found some
vent in local risings and upheavals
In various places during the past
two or three years has something
more behind it than local or nation
al disaffection.
Three years ago, when I was in
Japan for the war. there were two
schools OF thought amongst japanese
statesmen as to what Japan's policy
should be in regard to China. One
school advocated the bolstering up
of the Manchu dynasty the securing
OF administrative nnnni . in
that service by japanese, and the
ultimate prosecution of a policy sim
liar to that now being prosecuted in
Korea.
