New York, Nov. s.--The marvel
month ago by the giant Cunarder
Lusitania when she cut several
hours from the passage time across
the Atlantic. was broken by the
same vessel in trip completed
eral new records were made.
These include the best run, els
knots, an average of more than 600

average hourly speed OF 24.25 knots
for the full 2.7S1 miles. on her last
voyage the Lusitania covered the
distance in four days, nineteen hours

Carried $4,000, GOO I'm Gold.
The Lusitania brought over near
ly $i2,000.000 in gold, more than
one quarter of the immense total
which has been engaged abroad by

This gold was transferred to the
consignees and then added to the
country's available circulation.
Can Do Better.
The captain OF the Lusltania Is
proud of his record breaking flyer.

and that he will make a record on
his next trip across that will sur
prise the world With good wealth.
er, he believes he can make the trip
In such quick time that it will be
a mere pleasure jaunt to cross the

Mauritania, which is to make her
maiden trip on Now 16, can beat
the Lusitania's record.
Is Built for Speed.
The Lusitania is built especially
for speed. She Is a veritable palace
and carries regular city in pop
ulation on each trip, but her lines
are laid for the greatest possible
speed and she cuts through the wa
ter at rate that exceeds express
train speed No vessel that has
sighted the Lusitania has been able
to keep UP with her for even fifteen
minutes, though a number Of them
have tried that feat. She is the
veritable speed queen of the seas.

spected and wealthy citizens are sus-
pected of having taken a prominent
part in the alleged steal.
The senatorial party is headed by
Senators Teller and Charles Curtis.
The party is travelling on the pri-
vate car Twilight"

IMPLICATED IN CASE

Durango, Colo. Nov. S.-Secret
service agents say indications that
derwiede and w. A. Mason viii be
involved in the killing of Govern
ment Operative Joseph "A. Walker
while investigating the Porter Coal
company's property, last Sunday,
grow strong as the investigation
proceeds. The government officials
on the ground are working on the
thcry that there was a conspiracy
for murder behind the shooting of
Walker. SO far as known there was
no personal trouble between Walker
and Mason.
by Vanderwide are said to show
that he and Walker were not more
than so feet apart and that all could
recognize one another. The govern
ment officials believe that there was
no mistake about ii and say that
Walker was shot in the back.
Walkers body will b sent to Mrs.
Walker In Denver today. 1t has
been decided that no inquest is me-
cessary. Direct charges against those
responsible for his death will be
filed. District Attorney Cranston and
l.. c. Wheeler expected to take def
mite action at once against those re-
sponsible for Walkers death, but
owing to the fact that the Rio
Grande passenger train was over
two hours late, postponed it until
tomorrow. Ernest Knaebel, special
assistant to the district attorney
was on the train. District Attorney
Cranston win consult with him to-
morrow, when action is expected.
Vigorous Prosecution Promised.
The determination expressed by
Cranston and Wheeler before leav-
ing Denver to see justice done to the
murderers of Walker is being car
ried out thoroughly. County and
state officers have left the investi-
cation completely in the hands of
the government. Those employed in
forging the links of evidence are ex-
perts in the business.
No charges will be filed by Dis
trict Attorney Cranston until he
considers the evidence is complete
enough to implicate all connected
in any way with the shooting. The
minutest details are being worked
out TO support the theory of mur-
der. This explains the large force of

service and under the department

ing deposited as security for addi-

Metals are greatly encouraged in the
belief that the crisis in the money

confidently expected.
Stock Market Stronger.
New York, Nov. S.-The strength
of the stock market was the reflex
of improved feeling throughout the
financial community. 1t is believed
that the stock market has pretty
well discounted the worst, and that
prices are not likely to go much low
er. even in case of new disturbances.
1t is understood that the arrange
ment by which the committee of
trust company presidents takes con-
troll of the majority stock of the
Trust Company of America and the
Lincoln Trust coml any is only a
temporary device to re-establish con-
fidence. What will be the ultimate

New York, Nov. s.-The advance
In the discount rate of the Imperial
Bank of Germany from 6h to 7h
per cent announced today is further
evidence of the determination of
European money centers to protect
their gold against depletion by the
United states. The rate is the high
est the Dominion bank has ever had.
American gold engagements already
placed in Europe approximate S4O,-
0O0,0 so that the Increase in the
foreign bank rate does not operate
as seriously as IL might have done
during the earlier days of the money
stringency. About S2O,0OO,0OO of
gold have already reached New
York, including $4,000, 600 brought
by the Lusitania
Aside from the gold movements,
the financial situation shows an alb
sence of notable developments and
a steady tendency to get back to nor

Rathdrum, Idaho, Nov. s.-There

Steve Adams, the devoted woman
who has stuck to her husband de-
spite the charges against him. She
closely watches the trial and, while
for time when 1t was stated that
her husband had confessed against
Haywood in the Steunenberg murder
affair she did not approve of his
course. she Is stlll the devoted wife
she always has been.
The Adams trial is proceeding
slowly owing to its being hard fought
on both sides. Judge Wood is fire.
quently obliged to excuse the Jury
while some legal point concerning
the evidence is discussed, and II Is
now apparent that the end of the
case VIII not come for some days.
Many Witnesses TO Come.
There are still large number Of
witnesses TO be examined and Ii is
not likely that the examination will
be concluded for at least a week.
and the arguments OF the attorneys
are expected to consume at least
four days after the evidence is in.
The jury is listening to the case
with unusual interest, even for Ida
no, where such cases are becoming
almost common OF late years. 1t Is
evident that the prosecution will
have to make a hard fight to con-
Wet Adams, for the jury IS compos-
ed Of men who will want to know
that he is guilty beyond any doubt.
The web OF evidence, however, is
strong. but the real course of the
defense has not yet become appar-
ent.
