ROADS FACE CAR FAMINE.
Thousands Will Be Needed to Market
Present Crop.

! Chicago, July 30.-The western
railroads are facing the problem of
assembling thousands Of cars at var
ious points during the next 80 days
for the purpose of transporting the
crops to market. Nearly every big
railway system has received detailed
reports from its agents in every part
! of the west, northwest and southwest
regarding crop conditions, probable
yield and the prospect for future bus
mess. From these statements esti-
mates are made of the number of
cars which will be needed to take
care of the various crop movements
along the line of each road. The
agents are required to give some esti-
mate of the time when the different
crops will begin to move and how
great the early movement Will be.
This is done so that the railroads
may avoid, if possible, taking cars
out of other service and rushing
them to the west. there to remain
idle for days awaiting loads.
1t is believed from the reports re-
ceived thus far that the early crop
movement this year will be heavy
and therefore an unusually large
number of cars will have to be as
sembled. Some idea of the task that
confronts the railroads can be gath
cred from the Northwestern's report
of the situation. On new line or
that company in the west there will
be needed 100 boxcars alone to
transport a potato crop which will be
shipped from three new towns.
Officials of the Northwestern insist
that their road will be in better
shape to handle this years crop than
it was last years. A great amount
of new equipment has been added
and business in other directions
promises to be less imperative than
last year. The company is also max
ing an effort to have larger percen-
tage of it's own cars upon its rails
this year With this purpose in
view, fewer Northwestern cars VIII
be loaded to go off their own rails.
Burlington officials stated that
they have just now surplus OF box
cars and are accordingly assembling
many cars to take care OF their snare
of the Nebraska crop. They expect
the wheat to begin to move between
July 25 and August 1, and declare
that before the first date arrives they
will be in good shape to handle all
that will be offered.
1T is probable that conference of
traffic officials will be held soon to
talk over the crop movement and to
make plans for cooperation of West
ern roads with respect to prompt
handling of foreign cars and their
prompt return to the home lines.
The railroads desire to make this
a record year for prompt and expedi-
tious handling of the western crop

FOURTEEN BURNED ALIVE.
Mysterious Explosion Skaters New
York Tenement House.

New York, July 30.-An explosion
accompanied by fire, shattered an
East Side tenement late Sunday
night, and within the crumbling
walls IA persons went down to death,
while twise as many were probably
fatally injured.
The wrecked building was at 222
Christie street, where six-story
tenement rose above the grocery
store basement. The explosion is as
yet unaccounted for and tore out the
front of the building, and the fire
that followed caught the 20 families,
numbering 100 persons, while most
of them were sound asleep.
Fourteen dead bodies have been
recovered. Of the injured, many
Jumped from the windows, others
were caught by falling timbers,
many, half suffocated by smoke,
were dragged from the Railways,
while others received their wounds
during the panic and mad fight
among each other for an exit.
The tenement was occupied chiefly
by Italians. A passerby was attracted
by the explosion which apparently
occurred in the basement. AS he
turned toward the building the whole
front with it's f1imsy fire escapes fell
into the street, and from the sagging
floors a score of the half awakened
persons dropped into the street.
Many of these were badly hurt, but
they proved to be the more fortunate
of the tenants for another moment
and the building was wrapped in
flames, and the cries of persons burn
ing to death rent the air. In the
wild excitement that followed many
were injured.

LET ORCHARD PAY PENALTY.
Borah FerventIy DiscIaims Thought
of Immunity.

Boise, Idaho, July 26 The case OF
the State Of Idaho against William d.
Haywood, charged with the murder OF
Frank Steunenberg, former governor
of the state, will Iest with Judge and
jury by tonight. Clarence Darrow,
after speaking for l. hours, concluded
the final plea for Haywood's life at
4:2O p. M, and at O'Clock last even
ing United States Senator BoIah opened
the closing argument for the prosecu-
ton. He will speak for three sessions,
or about seven hours. Judge Fremont
Wood will instruct and charge the jury
on Saturday morning.
Mr.. Borah's speech was sensation.
From time to time he turned on coun-
sci for the defense, fierce denunciation
pouring from his lips, and at times
brought protests from Mr.. Richardson
and Mr.. Darrow, but with blazing eyes
and hot words he silenced every effort
to break the rush of words. The cli-
max was reached, when in behalf Of
the state of Idaho, its people, it's COVER
nor and himself he disclaimed all in
tention or desire to give immunity to
Orchard. Finally, his face pale and
voice quivering with emotion, the GEN.
ator raised his arm and said:
"If should ever join in or give ar-
proval to immunity to this man /
hope the great God may wither my
right arm in the socket"
Mr. Borah declared the state did not
want Haywood convicted of any crime
for which Orchard or Pettibone or
Meyer or Simpkins or anybody else was
responsible, and desired verdict of
guilty only if the evidence was deemed
sufficient to warrant such conclusion.
The senator denounced Clarence Dar-
rows statement that the jurors minds
had been poisoned against the defend
ants in this case. Nowhere, he de-
clared, could fairer trial have been
held than in Boise.

MONEY ROLLING IN
Dallas Live Business Men Give
Literally TO Fourth Of
July Fund

The committee appointed to solicit
funds for the annual Pioneer Reunion
and the big Fourth OF July celebra-
tion, to be held in Dallas, July and
4, is meeting with excellent success.
About one-half Of the business dis
trict has been canvassed and nearly
$500 has been subscribed. IT now
looks as If the OBSERVER was close to
the mark when it predicted that the
total fund would reach 81 900.
With this amount of money in
hand, Dallas will be able to give the
people OF Polk county the greatest two
days celebration they have ever
enjoyed. AS soon as the work OF the
finance committee is completed, the
various committees will be called
together and plans for the big event
will be outlined.
Many patriotic citizens have ex-
pressed desire to contribute to the
Fourth Of July fund, and as it will be
impossible for the committee to call
on everybody, the OBSERVER will
gladly receive and receipt for all
donations Of $3.50 or less. Who will
be the first to contribute one dollar to
fund of $50 to be turned over to the
committee for celebration purposesf

not able to remain longer.
