CANADIAN TRAFFIC TIED UP
Fifteen Passenger Trains Are Stalled
on Canadian Pacific Near
winnipeg.

WINNIPEG, Sept. Fifteen passenger
trains, besides all freight and stock trains
on the Canadian Pacific road between
Winnipeg and Fort Williams, are held up
at way stations and side tracks between
these two points as a result of the cloud
burst that flooded the main line between
Horner and Ignace late Saturday night.
1t is stated by railway men to be the
worst disaster of its kind that ever
happened In western Canada. Not train
has reached Winnipeg from the east since
Saturday and several thousand persons
are kept waiting at points along the line.
In addition mails and express matter are
also held up.
Earl Grey, governor general OF Canada,
and a party are on board one of the de-
layed trains.
There are two big washouts at Scoville,
east of Kenora, besides smaller ones be-
tween that point and Rennie AS a result
of the tracks being washed out at Decep-
tion, six boarding cars filled with work.

ROBERTS is GROWING BETTER
Police Find No Clue to Mysterious
Shooting of Baltimore So
ciety Man.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 1.-The
condition of Charles b. Roberts of Balti-
more, who was Jmysteriously shot last
Wednesday night is said today to be much
improved.
The mystery surrounding the shooting is
still as deep as ever and the impression
is gaining ground that the veil will never
be lifted Mrs. W. S. G. Williams who
was in the rolling chair with Mr. Roberts
when he was attacked, has returned to her
home near Baltimore. but Mrs. Roberts,
wife of the victim, is stil in this city.
At noon It was stated that Roberts prob
ably would recover.
Chief of Police Woodruff, after reading
the Interview given out in Baltimore by
Mrs. Williams. concerning the shooting
of Roberts, admitted that in the main her
statements were true He admits that he
has never met Mrs. Williams, and that
most of the statements attributed to him
have been incorrect but he takes exception
to the declaration that the police did not
take any interest in the theory of high
way robbery as the motive for the shoot
ing.
Chief Woodruff says no warrants have
been issued. He admits that the police are
at sea so far as tangible cews are con-
cerned.

EFFORT TO WRECK FAST TRAIN
Detectives Believe Attempt Was Made
TO Ditch Chicago Express
New York Central.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-Detectives in the
employ of the New York Central railroad
Investigated today what they suspect was
an attempt to wreck the Chicago express
in a cut at Hyde Park, near Poughkeepsie,
n. Y, last night. A milk train which en-
tered the cut just before the express was
due ran into a pile Of ties which blocked
both tracks and the locomotive threw the
ties from its pathway. Around the curve
less than a mile down the track the rum
bling approach OF the Chicago express
could be heard running at top speed in an
effort Of the engineer to make up twelve
minutes lost time. Trainmen swung the
ties to one side and when the headlight of
the locomotive flashed into the cut the way
was clear and the train dashed by un-
harmed. 1t is believed that the men who
placed the ties on the track were inter
rupted by the arrival OF the other train.

student officers. Secretary Wright ad-
dressed the school for over half an hour.

the many duties evYlving upon them out
side the ordinary garrison duty.
Major General Bell also addressed the
students The party departed this after
noon for Fort Riley.
Secretary Wright in the course of his
remarks said:
We are forced to come in contact for
commercial reasons, If for no other, with
prepare for war, which event, II not prob
able, is possible. The American people are
.cOnstitutonally opposed to a large stand
ing army, but we should have a large
number Of highly trained officers, who are
capable OF moulding an army and who
can do II properly. We have a great
natural Strength II is impossible to over
estimate our strength, but we should have
officers trained to organize and handle il.
Should we become involved In war with a
first-class power it might not be consider
ate enough 10 give MS time to train and
prepare large army The next best thing
is 10 train and prepare a large body OF
officers.
You men who receive this education are
not expected to be officers OF squadrons

pccted to command as colopels and gen
erals. Those Of you who know about wars

that It will be impracticable and alto
gether too expensive to transport and set
up The stir we are now assembling here
for the purposes of experimentation. This
plant is not yet in working order but will be
soon. What l propose to do for the Omaha
corn exposition is to have a precise model
made large enough to demonstrate the pro-
cess of denaturizing alcohol; one Of suffi-
Client size to accomplish results and be an
educational exhibit. This model still will

may be readily transported from place to

ing of alcohol from such products as they
do not find ready market for. In other
words the refuse Of the farm"
Secretary Wilson said that his observa-
tion in various middle western states dur
ing his absence leads him to confidently
predict bumper crops Of cereals. Il did
not touch Nebraska territory while away"
said the secretary, but I am informed that
the outlook ~ an abundant yield Of corn
and other crops is excellent in the Antelope
state. AS to Iowa and the Dakotas, as a
farmer, I never saw a harvest more por-
tentous of greater abundance

STEAMERS SAFETY in DOUBT
Grave Fears Entertained for British
Vessel Aeon. on Way 20
Auckland.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. L-Gravest fears
are entertained for the safety of the Brit
ish steamer Aeon, which cleared from this
port for Sydney, via Apia and Auckland
July 6, and has not yet arrived there. The
steamer Lord Seton of the same line ar
rived at Auckland on Sunday and reports
no sign of the Aeon. Reinsurance on the
vessel is quoted at 80 per cent; but it is
believed in shipping circles that the ship
has not been lost, but has sustained injury
that has delayed 1t.
on board the Aeon are ten passengers
shipping as members of the crew, among
them the wife OF Lieutenant Riddle, Il. S.
n, and Chaplain and Mrs. Patrick. bound
for the naval station at Pago Pago.
