LOST IN MOUNTAINS.
Fifth Z. S. Cavalry Has Lost Touch
With the World.

Camp Emmett Crawford, Wyo.,
Aug. 5.-A report is current in camp
today that the troops of the Fifth
cavalry, which were expected to ar
rive in camp yesterday, are lost in the
mountains. This report could not be
verified. but If the troops do not ar
rive today 1t is probable that scouts
will be sent to their rescue.
Interesting experiments are being
conducted by the signal corps. Field
lines were thrown out today to a dis
lance of ten miles in dry and rocky
country and over poorly insulated
lines for the purpose of testing the
service ability of the cavalry and field
buzzers. The tests were successful.
The regular troops and militia are
continuing a progressive system of
battle exercises preparatory to the
major maneuvers scheduled for to-
morrow and Friday.

been recorded in railroad circles.

been recorded in railroad circles
The local end of the event is repre-
sented by the cessation from work of
some one thousand men who were en-
ployed In the Winnipeg shops. Nearly
half of the men involved are on west
ern sections of the road, the exact
number being 1920.
The total number of men on the
western lines is $500.
The total number on the eastern lines
is $500
The total number on the Canadian
Pacific railroad system is 5000.
Approximate figures show that the
average weekly pay roll of the mechan-
ical department of the Canadian Pa
cthc is close to $780, 900. Thus if the
strike lasts a month it will take a
cool million dollars out of the pockets
of the 5000 men. The average daily
pay of each man is something under
81.
Rumors are current In some circles
ments would also go out in sympathy
but this Is thought to be hardly pro-
bale. So far only the mechanical de-
partments are affected. 1t is expected
in some quarters, however, that the
trainmen will walk out on Saturday
Questioned on this fact the trainmer
representatives said today that the
matter of striking had been given con-
sideration and unless things took a
much greater development than they
did at present they would not in any
active manner be affected.

LABOR MUST DO
ITS OWN VOTING
President Samuel Gompers Of Ameri-

ries He is to Dictate.

Washington, July 31.--"The report
that I have ever said that would de-
liver the labor vote to any party Is an
Infamous lie" said Samous Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, yesterday. Organized labor
is not only honest, but intelligent
enough to choose the party for its sup
port, which will best represent its in
terests.
ut is possible that lies and mis-
representations by enemies of organ
lied labor may iniure me personally
and even be successful in accomplish
ing my removal as president OF the
American Federation of Labor" said
Mr.. Gompers, but that will never
change my course in battling for the
principles for which I stand.
1T is not a question Of politics with
me. I have no politics, or If | have
they are the politics of the people.

Two Killed in East
ern Grade Cross
ing Accident
TRIED TO BEAT TRAIN
Foolhardiness of Occupants
of Touring Car Proves
Fatal.

Philadelphia, July 31.-Harry B.
Bromley, wealthy dealer in uphol-
sters, and Charles Humphreys, chief
clerk in the bureau of police, were
instantly killed last night when
speeding express train on the Reading
railway ran down a big automobile in
which they were riding The accident
occurred at the Huntington Park
avenue crossing in the northern sec
ton Of the city.
According TO the engineer of the
express train, the occupants of the
big Touring ear were alone to blame
for the fatal accident. He says the
electric headlight of his engine re-
vealed the speeding auto making for
the crossing several hundred yarGs
away and despite repeated warnings
of the engines whistle, the men kept
on coming in an apparent attempt to
beat the train to the crossing.
Finally, seeing that the foolhardy
occupants of the machine were not
going to stop, the engineer applied
the emergency brakes but it was too
late TO stop the heavy train. The en-
gne struck the auto squarely in the
middle, smashing it into kindling wood
and hurting the occupants many feet
into the air. When picked up both
men were dead, nearly every bone In
their bodies having been broken by
the terrific concussion.
