Their Plants More Economically.
The mayor of Lowell. Ind. is author

I'm September 10 parties who will In

plant had been allowed 10 run down
until II was ready for the scrap heap.
In 1899 the citizens OF lie Roy, n.

plant. After operating II few months
the city took advantage Of technical
ity and turned IL over 10 the former
owners without having made any pay
ment 10 them. IL Is stated that while
run 10y the city the operating expenses
alone exceeded 10y 60 per cent the en-

In 1897 n municipal electric light
plant was established at Mohawk. n

In 1898 Ballard. Wash. installed an
electric light plant at an initial cost of

1903 the plant was leased for fifty
years TO company which paid $500

ONE BALLOON MISSING.
Another Wrecked and Aeronauts Res
cued As 1t Was Sinking.

Berlin, Oct. 14.-Only one of the 20
balloons that started in the race for the
International trophy on Sunday from
Schmargendorf is unaccounted for.
This is the German balloon Busley,
under the command of DIR. Niemeyer,
with Hans Hiedmann as assistant. Dis
patches received here early in the day
from Cuxhaven announced that the
Spanish contestant Castillo had
dropped into the ocean six miles north
of Heiigoland and that the navigators,
Montojo and RoberO. had been rescued
by fishermen. This evening a dispatch
was received from Molde, Norway, tell
ing of the descent Of the Swiss balloon
Helvetia The dispatch read as fol-
lows:
Fishing boat this Afternoon rescued
occupants of balloon Helvetia at the
last moment as they were sinking,
the gas being totally exhausted. The
balloon was saved. Schaeck and Mess
ner remained here over night and will
start for Christansund in the morning
AIolde is only 80 miles southwest of
Christiansund and in order to reach
this point the Helvetia must have
Travelled about 1850 kilimeteres. or 775
miles ir a direct line, and must have
Travelled over the Skaggerrak or the
still greater body of the North sea
This is by far the greatest distance
yet reported to the credit of any of he
contestants, the majority OF whom
either took a somewhat circular course
or were compelled to discend on ac-
count of their proximity to water.
The Helvetia is the fifth balloon to
come to grief, the Conqueror and the
Montanes bursting at a high altitude,
and the Saint Louis and Castillo being
wrecked in the North sea.
A second report came from Molde
late tonight, stating that another bal
loon was reported to have landed in
Norway about the same place as the
Helvetia. The Aero Club officials here,
however. are doubtful of this and be-
lieve that the report is simply anoth-
er version of the Helvetia's landing.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 14.-Daniel J..
Keefe, president of the International
Longshoremen's Union and member of
the executive committee of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, was in Cleve-
land today attending meeting of the
Lumber Carriers Association. Mr..
Keefe reiterated his statements mada
yesterday in regard to the allegations
that he was promised the commission
ership of immigration as reward for
his support of Candidate Taft. Mr..
Keefe said
1T is not reasonable to suppose that
the Republican party, if it was in the
business of buying up votes. would
waste it's energy and efforts on life
long Republicans. ION Oct. 3, went
to Washington to see Mr.. Wright, Sec

well as the manufacturers themselves
were scarcely less pleased at the ter
ninatiOn of a state of condition which
was hurting all the business interests
Of the city.
The widest and most enthusiastic
demonstration ever seen in Lynn oc-
Cured when the vote Of the mass meet
ing of the lasters this afternoon be-
came known. Fully HOO men were in
the hall, all members in god standing
of the L,asters and Lasting Machine
Operators, Independent unions and the
remainder of the 1900 strikers were out
side anxiously awaiting the outcome
When the result of the vote was an
| nounced pandemonium reigned SUI
preme. both inside and outside of the
hall, the overioyed men throwing their
coats and hats in the air to the accom-
panilnent Of yells and cheers in several
different languages. The vote was
roughly estimated to be about 1000 to
rs for the acceptance of the manufac-
turers' agreement and the offer made
| by Joseph Caunt.
The Anarchist element of the strik
ers who have steadfastly maintained
that no settlement with the manufac-
turers should be made under any cir
| cnmstances, doubted the vote. and, en-
| ragged at the action of their fellow
workmen in declaring the strike off,
| marched out of the hall. Finding that
the copies Of the Evening Item an
| nourcing the termination of the strike
were being sold on the streets, the
Anarchists paraded in a body, about
100 strong. to the Office of the newspa-
| per. where there followed demonstra-
| ton similar to that made at the office
| of another Lynn newspaper on Mon
| day. The bulletin board, containing the
words 'J4asters' strike settled" in big
red letters was ripped down and brok-
en- into bits by the frenzied mob. A
| crowd of curious onlookers son gath
cred in the street and squad of DO
lice had to be sent for to dispense it.
| A number of the Anarchists, however.
succeeded in gaining admission to the
business Office Of the paper, where they
| demanded that another edition should
be put on the street with a contradic-
tory statement, but the men were soon
ushered out of the office by the police.
Under the rules of the union if a vote
| Is doubted it must be taken by ballot.
Tomorrow morning therefore will be

ever. leave no doubt as to what the
result will be tomorrow.

PERSIST IN STORY.
Democrats Say Cabinet Officer Told Of
Offer to Keefe,

New York, Oct. 14.-The Democratic
National committee tonight issued
statement quoting Timothy Heaiy,
president of the International Broth
erhoOd of Stationary Firemen as au-
thority for the allegation that Daniel
]. Keefe had been promised by the
President appointment as commission
er general of immigration in return for
the Detroit labor leaders support of
Taft. The national committee had
promised to make known its informant
if the charge was denied as it has been
both by keefe and at the White House.
The national committee quotes Mr..
Healy in part as follows:
II was in Washington Wednesday Of
last week on matter dealing with
our organization which brought ME in
contact with an official of high stand
ing in the government service. file said
to me: Dan keefe has been selected
for commissioner general of inmigra-
ticn.
"Is that so?' I said
eyes, the job is his he replied. I
asked him how he knew and he told
me that his informant was a member
of the Presidents cabinet and knew
what he was talking about.
This information was not given to
me in a confidential manner but l viii
not give my informant's name. for it
is plain to see what would happen to
him, if his name came out
There is not any doubt in my mind
hut that the statement that the Presi-
dent offered Keene the position and
that keefe agreed to accept is true.
Perhaps the offer was not made at the
conference on Oct 8 last but l believe
it has beer made"
Washington, Oct 1t.-While no
formal statement was issued
from the White House, Sec. Loeb
Wednesday denied that President
Roosevelt promised the Office of COM
| missioner general Of immigration to
Daniel j. Keefe of Detroit, president
of the International Association of
Longshoremen in consideration of Mr..
keefe's action in declaring for Mr.. Taft
in opposition to the pro-Bryan cam
paign of President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor Mr..
Loeb added that Mr.. Keefe in his de-
