SHOW TOO NAUGHTY
EVEN FOR EDWARD

, Marienbad, Sept. Skiing Edward
has administered a rebuke for the
singing of indelicate songs in places
of public amusement, and his action,
which was taken publicly, has created
intense excitement in Marienbad.
His majesty entered a cafe chantani
and after listening to n or two num-
bers Of the program, he walked out as
a protest against the scandalous ma.
ture of the. performance. A Viennese
company was playing. His majesty
was followed by the duke of Teck and
other members of his suite and all the
Americans and Englishmen present.
This is horrible, appalling" said
the king to a member of his entour.
age, and the accuracy of his descrip-
ton OF the performance is admitted
on every side.

live STOCK TRADE
TOBE BENEFITED BY
GRAZING EXPERIMENTS
Forestry Service and Bureau OF
Plant Industry Join in Solv-
ing Problems.

Washington, Sept. A--The depart
ment of agriculture has issued a
pamphlet which says in part:
The livestock industry turns to ac-
count one of the greatest natural re-
sources OF the west-the forage crop.
From the plains to the Pacific an as
tonishingly large proportion Of the area
is grazing land. 1t is estimated thai
this region contains over 400, 600, 900
acres which are useful at present only
for pasturing stock. A map printed in
colors to bring out the main areas of
agricultural. grazing, and desert lands
was published not long ago. 1t showed
the g~razing-land color spread like a
sheet over nearly all this vast domain,
which comprises something like one
third OF the entire United States, with
relatively minor patches Of the other
colors. In arid regions the range Is
comparatively Door, but almost every
where enough forage plants can grow
to make grazing profitable.
The forest service, In cooperation
with the bureau OF plant industry, has
begun a series of experiments to find
out how the carrying power of grazing
lands within national forests can be in
creased. In a nutshell the problems are
first, how to grow, and second, how to
ullil2e, the largest amount or forage.
The conclusions reached are likely to
have an important bearing on improved
use Of the open range generally. The
economic possibilities OF these expert
ments are enormous. u 1a"a
In the past the stockman on the pub
lie lands has simply taken what nature
offered him. But grazing tends to put
nature at a disadvantage. Plants
which propagate by seed, for example
have no chance when the seed stalks
r being eaten OFF all the time. In
many grazing regions the carrying
power of the range has been very great
ly reduced through the present methods
OF use. Within national forests the re-
striction of the number of stock to the
capacity of the range has already
checked the worst evils which result
from overgrazing. But the new investi-
cations promise much greater things.
These Investigations are to be carried
out along three distinct lines-studies
of what can be done in the way of
introducing cultivated grasses, studies
of range Improvement through better
knowledge of how wild grasses propa-
gate, and studies of how to handle
both cattle and sheep so as to reduce
the waste due ito herding and tramp
ling. The present account deals with
the first, the Introduction of cultivated

SENT WARNING THAT
BRIDGE WAS UNSAFE

New York. Sept. 3.-Thomas Cooper,
of this city, who has been consulting
engineer in charge of the work on the
huge %cantilever bridge across the st.
Lawrence river, which collapsed Thurs
day evening, keenly feels the accident
which caused seventy-nine men to lose
their lives. In a statement made to
a reporter today he reproached himself
for not having visited the bridge for
two years. Ill health prevented him
doing so, and he has been attempting
to release himself from his position for
that reason. Mr. Cooper made the
statement that the inspector told him
things did not look well, and he tele-
graphed the men in charge of the work
to get off the bridge and stay off until
1t could be examined. Cooper does not
know whether the warning was re-
ceived before the accident. y

TELEPHONE BLURS;
FIFTEEN PERISH

NATION, ILL.,. Sept. 3.--Fifteen per7
Bons were killed and about fifty mi
jured in a head-on collision between
an interurban express train consisting
Of a motor. car and trailer and a tract
ton car on the NATION and Charles
town electric line.
The crash occurred in a sharp curve
one mile west of Charlestown, and was
due to a confusion of orders received
over the telephone, which worked
badly
The cars approached each other az
a high speed and the impact was so
terrific that the motor car and trailer
were telescoped by the traction carl
The passengers, nearly all Of whom
were en- route to the Cole county faiN
at Charlestown, were crushed and
manned where they sat in their seats.
Telephones are placed every few
miles by which orders are transmitted
to the conductors and motormen of the!
cars passing over the road.

The prince, as he was known ao

been here two hours that he was sick
Of fuss n feathers. When he re-
turned from Oyster Bay he added that
hll official obligations had been dis1
posed Of with the visit to the press
fdent, and he hoped to find time to-
see all that was interesting here DUR
ing the remaining four days OF HIS
visit.

At IL p. m, with ex-Sheriff Buttlinn
guiding them, the prince and his little
portage, with their hosts, arrived at
Coney Island in touring cars. They
speeded to Dreamland where a big
crowd had gathered to see q real live
sample OF royalty.
No sooner had the prince entered

But his guides whirled him of to sec
Creation" leaving the Incubator to
the last. They wished to whet the
royal guests appetite for the otheH'
spectacles. y
Deputy Controller McCooey ana
Captain Welborn. secretary to Deputy
Police Commissioner Bugher, took care
of the visitor. They escorted him
Through every amusement place In
Dreamland, guided him ND to the toy
of the big electric tower, where he saw
the great city by night and then, aft
er many ordinations Of: +
THE incubator! Let me see the in-

to DR.. Ffshel's apartments and
promptly became interested in Fannie

OVER UPON A TABLE
New Version Of Eye Witnese to
Trouble In Illinois Contra.
Directors Meeting.
FIGHT WILL BE BITTER
Roads President Returns to Chicago
Grimly vowins Venseanoe
Mo Quarter to BE
Shown.

Chicago, Sept. 3.--James Theodore
Harahan, president Of the Illinois Cen
trial, arrived in Chicago fresh and smil-
ing. His face, on close inspection,
showed no traces Of the blow dealt him
by S~tuyvesant Fish, deposed presidents
OF the road, In the directors meeting in
New York. .E, ...
Concerning the physical encounter
which took place between him and Mr..
Fish, President Harahan maintained
an ominous silence. It was the silence
Iof n who has been caught once, but
never wnl be again-who Is ~concoctins
a far nor thorough revenge than o
squabble of words or a blow with tho
t1st on the jaw.
T. BY q Witness.
A new version of the encounter is
given In New York by an eye witness
This man said Fish did not actually
strike Harahan. What really happened
he said, was this: Mr.. Fish accused
Mr.. Harahan Of being a mere tool Of
Hartman. After the motion made to
adjourn the meeting had been acted
upon by the president 1t was that Har-
ahan called Fish a liar.
Immediately Fish rushed some fifteen
feet to where Harahan stood, grabbed
him by the neck, and threw him over
backwards on a table. While Harahan
was not struck, either while he was
down or afterwards, 1t was only after
he had turned purple In the face that
he was allowed to get up. None OF the
other directors interfered.
An Old drudge.
Mr.. Harahan himself on his return
cleared up two points in the contro-
yersy. He stated emphatically that tho
break between him and Mr.. Fish did
not occur when he was elected presi-
dent in November, 1906, but had been
a matter Of five years standing before
that.
As to the cause of the severance Of
the old friendship, Mr.. Harahan re-
fused to give any information, but 1t
was learned from one of his close
friends thai 1t arose over what Mr.
Harahan regarded as improper treat
ment he received from Mr.. Fish in a
financial deal involving Mississippi
properties.
Fight to Be Bitter.
MI. Harahan also wished it under
stood plainly that he owed nothing to
Mr.. Fish; that MI. Fish was not re-
sponsible for his rise in the railroad
world, and that his connection with
the Illinois Central did not begin until
his election as second vice president by
the board Of directors in 1890.
From Mr.. Harahan's entire attitude
It was evident that the fight is to be
a bitter n from now on-that no
quarter will be shown. The enmity be-
tween the two men, which mirrors
forth the struggle Of the forces for and
against e. H. Hartman, will come tG
an issue In the annual meeting Of the
stockholders OF the road to be held in
Chicago, October 16.

K. c. POST REPORT.

Great public interest has been excited in the
Sunburst property.
In response to this demand for exact and
truthful information the Kansas City Post,
great metropolitan newspaper. sent a special
correspondent to the district to report what
he actually found. The article is too long TO
be reproduced here. but copy will be sent to
all interested.
Here are a few extracts:
THE point made is that Baxter lead and zinc
district is like every other place of great natu-
raj advantagcs--it musr have capital to be pro-
perly developed. But there is no doubt of the
sure and immense rewards.
You can't sink a drill anywhere around
here said my friend of tho above, without
hitting pay ore
And that's true.
Il believe. from close personal observation,
that the highest grade lead and zinc known
is here in practically unlimited quantity. The
bigger the mill. the better the machinery, the
more money will be made.
IAN this district is underlaid by a solid table
of lead and zinc ore. To get II into marketable
shape you need mill Multiply your mills and
you multiply your profits.
