Rank Of Upton, Ind. whose institu-

arrested in the Calumet Club Friday
Nv federal officers. The banker is
charged with having misappropriated

for any shortage that might exist. He
was arrested and is now under bond.

rest of President Shirk an entirely
new phase in the banks affairs and

STRIKE BREAKERS
STORMED GATES
FOUR HUNDRED MEN cLAhOH
FOR THE BLOOD OF
GUARD.

PTTTsBURG. Aug. 2s.-Four hun
dred strike-breakers. most Of them
nom New York, Friday morning
stormed one Of the gates Of the Press
"A steel Car Company. demanding the
blood Of one Of the guards who had
beaten one Of their number. Martin
Hart Of New York.
A riot call was sounded and scores
of inside guards, all armed with riot
guns, came to the gate, and those
outside were told that they would be
shot to bits If they did not leave at
once. They were assured that the
men who had beaten Hart so cruelty
we're alerady under arrest and would
be prosecuted. With this the friends
of Hart left the mills.
The boiling of 400 men from the
stockade practically ties up the plant
of the Pressed Steel Car Company
again, as 1t Is asserted that there are
now less than $50 men inside the
plant. 1t is alleged by the strike
breakers, most of whom left for New
York, that the conditions inside the
stockade have not been in the least
overdrawn and that it was only by
superior numbers that they compelled
the opening Of the gates.
Most of the men say they have lost
from fifteen to thirty pounds while
imprisoned inside the stockade; that
they could not eat the food given, and
that the water was stagnant and filled
with poison.
James Given, of Philadelphia and
Leo Swartz of New York, two of the
first to come out of the plant, fell I'M
conscious from weakness when they
reached the river bank and were later
taken back into the plant where they
were placed in the hospital.
Special Agent Hoagland continued
his investigation of conditions at the
plant and examined many OF the
strike-breakers who had made their
escape fro mthe mills. There is
persistent rumor that the department
of commerce and labor has become
interested in the matter at McKee's
Rocks and has sent four agents to
look over the ground. The Austro-
Hungarian vice-counsel at Pittsburg
said that he had received orders to
be alert regarding the mistreatment
of Austrians or Hungarians and to-
forward every scrap of evidence to
Washington.

LATHAM MAKES
A NEW RECORD
FRENCH AVIATOR TAKES GLoRl-
Gus REVENGE FOR RECENT
HARD LUCK.

BETHENY, Aviation Field, Rheims,
Aug. 28.-Hubert Latham, the French
aviator, Thursday took glorious re-
yenge for the hard luck which he ex-
perienced in his recent attempts to
cross the English Channel, and his
interchangeable, but hitherto unsuccess-
full efforts to accomplish some notable
achievement during the present meet
ing, by establishing a new worlds
record for distance, 154 kilometers,
$50 meters, or 1888 miles. Latham
covered fifteen laps, or $50 kilometers,
in two hours, thirteen minutes and
nine seconds, and the full distance
in two hours, eighteen minutes, nine
and three-fifths seconds, which also
are worlds records. the fight being
at the rate of about 681s kilometers
an hour, as compared with 531S made
by Wright at Lemans, and a fraction
under so made by Paulhan Wednes-
day. CA kilometer is 3,2S0S feet, or
.621 of a mile).
Except for the one lap speed rec
ords made by Bleriot and Curtiss this
week, and Paulhan's time record in
the air, Latham now holds every rec
ord for distance and speed. Like
Paulhan, he descended only when the
gasoline tank was empty.
For an hour, with fiuttering wings,
like a living thing, it fought Its way
against the storm of rain and wind at
an average height of $50 feet, mount
ing higher as the wind rose, until,
during the worst of the storm, it was
up fully 800 feet The contention OF
the advocates Of the biplane that the
monoplane would be unable to live in
o strong breeze, has been amply re-
futed.
While trying to alight in front Of
the tribute with passenger aboard
his big S0-horse power machine, BE-
riot crashed into a fence, the wings
and propeller being broken. He mar
rowly missed killing several OF the
spectators.

bit,on. landed among a crowd lunch

upon den1zens of the coast. It is be-
Heved that the gulf waters have swept
away perhaps a hundred people. Re
ports indicate that the fatalities were
most numerous along the gulf border.
Ing the shores of Terre Bonnie parish.
News OF the disaster was brought into
Houma, the parish seat of Terre
Bonnie, by half clad men and women,
who managed to save some kind of a
craft by which they succeeded in
reaching shelter. They related stories
of great havoc.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
OF life in Terre Bonnie parish and it is
probable that full restoration OF
communication with other parts of
Louisiana may bring the knowledge of
further casualties. AS yet it is i'm.
possible to give a correct estimate OF
property loss, as reports of damage
are coming in hourly. Many towns
suffered from the storm and numerous
plantations felt the disastrous effects
of its force. The cane and cotton
crops of Louisiana sustained serious
damage.
Many towns of Louisiana sustained
great property loss. In Baton Rouge
and vicinity the damage will exceed
$2,0o0,000. The state capitol is un
rooted and considerable part of the
building flooded.
Hundreds of small pleasure craft
which were torn from their moorings
along the coast and the river have
been swept away or sunk. The dam

amount to $1,500,000,

STATE AUDITOR lVERSON ANSWERS
CRITICS.. ..--

Elsewhere in the Pioneer is
given a letter from S. G.. Iverson,
state auditor, wherein he replies to
the communication from Big Falls
which was recently published in the
Pioneer, relative to the manner in
which the state swamp land contests
are being conducted.
The Pioneer is taking no part in
the controversy, but as we have
quite frequently heard these critic
isms, it has done no harm to print
the communication and the answer
made by Auditor Iverson. The
latter fully explains his stand in
the matter, and the explanation is en-
tirely satisfactory to his friends.
The Pioneer communication con-
tanned no signature; but the general
answer given by Mr.. Iverson to Mr..
Hilliard of Big Falls will cover the
matter printed in the Pioneer.
