trips that he generally runs across horses that meet the re- uuirements of the company. Also, he makes long trips sometimes to inspect horses of which he has heard.
 In the matter of purchasing horses he is not hampered by the firm in any way. He has no limited price and a matter of dollars does not prevent the firm from getting a desirable horse when one is found. The average price of the horses now in the stables is about $375. This makes the value of the entire stock of horse flesh some thing like $26,2
 While the average weight of the horses is l,700 pounds, there is one pair, Rex and Jumbo" which weigh round ton apiece. Yet this immense team can be hitched to light carriage and give one as pleasant drive as he could wish. In working, the horses are divided up into five six-horse teams, the rest heinz in fours, threes, twos and singles. The hauling power of one of these six-horse teams is something surprising. Only the other day one of them pulled a load of 23, 900 pounds from the depot, up the long North Main street hill.
 The care given these horses is as fine as any horse in the world receives. The stalls are all twice the usual size and in these the big animals can lie down and roll over if they care to. They are bedded down with the greatest care and their food is of the best. Cruelty to one of the horses is a capital offense around the Chase establishment. If a man strike a horse unnecessarily or harder than is necessary, he loses his job as soon as John Hard hears of it. The use of whip is only allowed when 1 it is necessary for driver to wake up some horse that is not doing its share of the pulling. The drivers are all supposed to know how the horse should pull. In most cases the wheel horses of one of the big teams are not SUD- posed to pull as hard as the others, but in close quarters, such as in backing and turning corners, the wheelers do most of the work.
 In most establishments, the drivers of teams are supposed to clean and harness their horses before taking them out in the morning. At the Chase

Laporte, Ind, Noe. 23.-The testimony
of three witnesses who declare that they
saw Mrs Belle Guinness alive several
DAYS after the fire that destroyed her

fed positively to seeing Mrs. Guinness
on the Guinness premises on July 8 and
that she was heavily yelled and accom-
panied by man who had a gray mus
tache. when / got within two wagon
lengths, they got into the buggy and
drove on" said Hutson. "and tried
to follow them, There was too good a
chance Of getting a chunk Of lead" Hut
sons daughters. Evelyn, aged IL. and
Eldora, aged nine years, each related
having seen Mrs Guinness in 'hay time
near the woods. according to the former,
and near the big gate" according to the
latter. ALL three of the witnesses de-
clared that they knew Mrs Guinness and
that so well they could not be mis-

Obstruction Will Not be Toll
Grated
STATEMENT BY BURTON
If Fight Is Necessary Hitchcock VIII
Boss It--Beet Sugar Leader Reas-
sured of Justice After Inter-
view with Taft.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 2S.-President-
elect Taft and Representative Burton
OF Ohio had another extended conference
Saturday, at which the speakership ques-
/ ton was discussed, as well as nearly
everything else" as Mr.. Taft put it al
terward.
Mr.. Taft's attitude on the speakership
apparently is disclosed in a statement
BY Mr.. Burton after the conference. MIR.
Burton first explained that he was none
thel ess candidate for the Senate than
when he came here, and that on his re-
turn to Washington on Monday he
should give more vigorous attention to
the canvass in Ohio. He then said:
"In discussing the subject of the
speakership | am not assuming to say
anything for Mr.. Taft, but only to ex-
press what seems to me correct view
OF the situation. The president-elect
made certain promises during the cam
paign.
One was for thorough and honest
revision of the tariff. This does not
necessarily mean that rates IN all sched-
ules will be lowered, nor that any leciti-
mate right of interest Of either capital
or labor will be disregarded. 1t does
mean a careful examination OF the
whole subject.
Besides the tariff, there were other
promises contained in the party platform
and reiterated by the president-ele
which must be fulfilled even at the cost
Of the speakership.
NO doubt Mr.. Taft would oppose Mr..
Cannon very reluctantly, but as the
head of his party, as well as the presi-
dent elect of the nation, he is bound to
meet the exactions Of the people and
to insist upon the observance Of party
pledges.
THE speaker has great power in re-
pressing legislation ri this repressive
influence should stand in the way there
wondI be but one course for the presi-
dent-elect to pursue, and that Is to
exert his influence against obstruction.
1T is to be hoped there will be such
harmony and concert Of action between
the president elect and Speaker Cannon
that contest will be avoided
Judge Taft has made no statement
for publication on the subject. Those
who have talked with him say that his
determination to prevent obstruction"
is most vigorous.
Henry w. Taft, brother of the presi.
dent-elect, arrived here yesterday. He
will stay until after Thanksgiving. On

Clothes which were wrapped around him

His body, terribly burned, was found

Last Thursday night he announced at
a prayer meeting that he had put off
reforming too long and that he should
not be alive long. Friday night he called
on Mrs E, " Lamb and informed her
that he was going to take his own
life as he was to Respondent to live
longer.
1t is said that Stanley had been try

that he had frequently been constant

After that the men did much loud talk

Saturday morning at S o'clock Mrs.
Powers went 10 cali them and received
no response. She then opened the door.
She only saw one OF the men at the
tirrc. He was lying on his back, ap.
parently sound asleep. She naturally
inferred they were still asleep from the
effects Of the liquor and she went away
without disturbing them. There was no
smell of gas then, however. At IL
o'clock Mrs. Powers called the men
again, but unsuccessfully When she
opened the door the odor of gas was
perceptible and this in connection with
the heavy breathing OF the men indieat-

The men were in the employ OF Fred

contract for the tunnel work. The acci-
dent happened bit before o'clock,
but IL was not until late in the even.
ing that the details were known here.
The men work in the tunnel in shifts
of 10, and the night gang goes ON at
6. Each gang has about 100 pounds OF
dynamite 10 work with. and this is di.
vided into charges Of between 20 and
so pounds each for blasting purposes.
The men loaded the blasts as usual
Saturday evening, and then retired sew
oral hundred feet from the tunnel head
while the blasts We're being fred. II is
supposed that all did not explode
properly and that the foreman, Bonelli
and four men went back to ascertain
the trouble.
They were gone some time without
giving any sign, and other members Of
the crew went forward to see il there
was any trouble. They found the five
men lying on the floor OF the tunnel,
and saw at once that they had been
overcome by the fumes Of the explosive.
Although the newcomers must have felt
that there was still peril in the air,
they quickly loaded the unconscious
men on to one OF the cars to take out
rock and rush them to the open. Two
nen were quickly brought back to con.
seriousness, but all efforts to revive the
ether three proved futile. Word was
sent instantly TO Westfeld for aid, in
hope that medical assistance might
avert fatality. Drs. L. p. Lowenstein,

to the tunnel at once and ordered an
to follow them as quickly as
possible. In the meanwhile the suffer
ers had been taken into what is known
as the dry house. near the mouth Of
the tunnel. Here the physicians found
them, but soon saw that they were be.
