 MT. Sands was driving his 60-herae power car along at a terrific clip. in desire to reach the chateau. where Mrs. Sands and her infant dauahfer were staying. He had Always been known as reckless driver, and nz he had been delayed at railroad cross ings. he opened the throttle wide as he approached the chateau grounds. almost immediately tire burst and the machine crashed into q tree, turn- ing turtle and burying Mir.

 Peasants working in the adjoining fields were the only witnesses to the accident. They rushed to the rescue. but fearing a further explosion, they stood idly by, not knowing how to give assistance to the injured men. Final ly they managed to raise the. rear of the car and release the chauffeur, both of whose feet had been held tight. and a little later. after beating down the fire, they dragged out the torn, bIeed- ing and burned body of Sands.

Mir. RaMn,a Onlnfon

Chicago. H.. July 2s.-"The Cover nor's position is quite correct" said Vice-President Rawn of the Illinois Central Railroad. today when shown a dispatch quoting Governor Wilson of Kentucky to the effect that State Guardsmen would camp where it best suited their convenience. MT. Rawn continued:
 'cWhen I received threats that trou- bIe would ensue if Kentucky militia men eneamped on our land, sent the information to Governor Wilson. not as a protest, but for his information. The National Guard or tha regular army has a right to camp wherever 1t sees fit. If the Kentucky soldiers deem 1t wise to encamp on our lands, the H. linois Central has no objection"
 When asked if he apprehended that threats of derailing trains would be carried out should the ynilitamen pitch their tents on Illinois Central property, MT. Rawn was non -committal, stating, however. that knowledge that the threats had been made was certainly proper information for the chief exec utive of the State.

Schroeder. second vice president until yesterday of the same institution, were arrested today after being indicted on a charge of grand larceny.
 They were released on si0,o00 bail each and set Friday for their exami- nation. Both admit that they took approximately $44.000 of the cash of the company and used the money to keep the Home Stake South Extension Mining Company, a South Dakota con cert. upon It's feet. This company was organized by Britton and Schroeder. The arrest of the two bankers foi- lowed a grand jury investigation. The following statement was given out for the Eagle Savings and Loan Company by the Superintendent of Banks:
 Bank Examiner Young last week found that Joseph Wood, secretary and treasurer of the company, was carry ing in the bank numbers of cheeks signed by Britton and Schroeder. These checks were for varying amounts aggregating s47.9ss. When the exam iner demanded an explanation he was told bv Wood that he had been in- structed by his superior officers not Id send the checks for collection to the banks on which they were drawn. But meantime he explained he had paid out the companys money on them. Further probing showed that practi- caily all the checks in question were worthless"
 The following statement was given out by the Eagle Savings and Loan Company:
 "As the surplus of the company aiter aeductinr inc above amount is in ex- cess of s12O.000, the corporation IS solvent and will continue its business as heretofore and without interrup' ffor,

TAKES FIRM STAND
GOVERNOR WILLgON NOT AFRAID
 OF TaREATs.
The stmte asalatta Wim Camp On RaiI- road aor Indfs4duax Property If
 such Sites Are Convenient to

Frankfort, Ky, July 2s-Threats against the railroad or individual property owners on whose land, state guardsmen encamp while on duty Will not effect the state officials In selec- tion of camps, according to letter sent today by Governor Wilson to Vice President Rawn of the Illinois Central Railroad.
 Governor Wilson in his letter de- clared that no efforts at intimidation on the part of lawlessly inclined people of western Kentucky will be con sidered in the movement of troops or selection of camping grounds for sol- diers in active service In that part or the State. The Governors letter was in response to a communication from Vice President Rawn. informing the kGovernor that the Illinois Central Rail- road has received written notice that if 1t permits troops to be encamped on it's right of way, all trains Of the company will be derailed. In his let- ter to Mir. Rawn, the Governor says that state troops have been in service to protect the lives and property of the people and 1t is necessary for them to be fed and have camps at points most convenient for the duties in which the men are engaged. He says that while they will be ordered to take all reasonable care to avoid an unneees- sary injury, damage or inconvenience to owners of property, still they will fix their camps where it is most con venient and best suited for the pur- pose of the duty in which they are en- gagged. The Governor adds:
 There has been an attempt to pre- vent the commonwealth's force from performing their duty by refusing them a place to stay and making 1t unsafe for them to stay on their premises or buy provisions.
 The service of the commonwealth Is above private rights and they can take a place to rest and camp without con- sent. after previously rendering com peusation, so that if your right-of- way Is the most suitable place to have camp. 1t will be the officers duty to locate there. There will be no relaxa- ton in the determination to restore law and order and to protect the people and tbere will be no cause in which the State Guards will be prevented from having suitable place to camp. rest, sleep and eat. and suitable supplies of food and water, and any effort to in this way prevent the protection of the people and uph olding the law will be treated as an act of hostility to the commonwealth.

MARVELLOUS MACHINES

The sensitiveness of the human organ
is gross indeed compared with that of the
marvellous machines man has made. A
Photographic plate coupled with a tele-
scope discovers millions OF stars whose
light the retina of the eye does not ap-
preciate. The microphone makes the
inaudible tread of fly sound like the
tramp of cavalrymen. The human heat
sense caunot realize difference of tenn
perature beyond one. fifth of degree
but the barometer, an instrument 200, 600
times as sensitive as the skin, notes diff
ference OF millionth Of degree. A gal.
vanometer fexes its finger at current
generated by simply deforming drop
of mercury 80 as to press it out of a
spherical shape into that of an egg. The
amount OF work done by the wink of an
eye equals 100000, ,000,0 600 of the winks
marked on the scale OF delicate instru.
ment, but even this performance is sur
passed by the cofferers OF Branley of Paris
by which the Hertz waves of wireless
telegraphy are caught in their pulsings
through space. The range of impressions
which We get from lifting an object is ex-
ceedingly small. An ordinary chemists
balance is some million times as sensitive
and weights down the two hundredth
pant of a milligram. Without such in.
struments as these we should know far
less about the world than they place with
in our reach. They make it evident that
our sense organs give US reports of but a
comparatively small number of compara'
lively gross stiumli.
