FIND CLUE TO
BANK ROBBERS
Posse of Young Men Discover
Money Sacks and Weapons
of Bandits.

Glenwood Springs. Colo, Oct. 3.-The
first clue TO the robbers who held up
the Citizens National bank last week
and took with them $4,000, was found
today when posse of young men found
two money sacks in a gulch some dis
lance from the place where the horse
was shot from under one of the bandits.
There were two sacks, a pistol and
pair Of straps evidently used to tie the
sacks. These straps have been traced
to the ownership of one of the suspects
arrested. He owns a suitcase from
which a pair of straps is missing and
the ones found fit the suitcase.
No other trace has been found of the
robbers. 1t is known that they have di-
vided their booty and have gone further
into the mountains.

STRIKING MINERS
return TO WORK
misunderstanding of Interpre-
ter Causes Trouble Which
Ends Satisfactorily.
Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.

Bingham, oct. 3.-Three hundred
striking Greek miners VIII return to
work this morning at the plant of the
Utah Copper company. An increase
from $L75 to 81 is granted the miners.
The labor difficulty at the mine arose
through a misunderstanding Of the in
terpreters and the men.
The Management had contemplated
giving the men the increase in pay be-
fore the strike. In communicating this
fact to the men there was a misunder-
standing, the men taking the interpreter
to mean that the management would
not increase their pay, and the strike
resulted. The matter was finally made
clear TO the men last night and they
agreed to return to work.
Deputy sheriffs tonight arrested Ed
KordowodOlis and Michael Kordusun-
tas and took them to Silt Lake The
first is accused of furnishing a revolver
in the face of the deputy SheTiffs when
four men under arrest were released.
KOrdusuntas is the man who made the
demand for more wages and who, by
tipping his hat gave the signal to strike.

COMMISSION
FOR JUSTICE
Official Says Body Not Likely
to Consider Effect the Spo-
kane Rate Decision May
Have on Jobbing Territory.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 3.-Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner G. N.
Prouty yesterday made a statement
at the hearing of the Spokane rate
case that, it is believed, indicates GER
tain policies the commission will pur-
sue in rate regulation.
Commissioner Prouty said: Il do not
think the commission will give much
weight to the effect this decision
chat on Spokane rates) will have on
altering JObbing territory. 1t does not
matter great deal to the people of
spokane whether they purchase their
goods Through Spokane jobbers or
through JObbers from other points, but
II does concern them very much
whether they are compelled to pay
more for those commodities on account
of the rates charged.
1T appears plain that Spokane has
to pay for more things purchased
here on account of the freight rate.
1t may possibly be that this is JUS
titled by the peculiar conditions. If
not, the commission will be justified
IN ordering the rates reduced.
You, gentlemen, in Spokane, can
not expect the commission to order the
railroads to give you as low rates on
some of these commodities as the rail-
roads gave you five years ago. The
railroads fixed those rates because you
men virtually compelled them to do
so. The commission cannot approach
the question in that manner. but must
establish such rates as will be fair
and equitable as between the carriers,
the consumers and the producers of
the commodities carried.
We cannot, for instance, give you
the same rate from New York that we
give you from Chicago. Maybe the
Representatives here for New York can
show US some reason why we should
do so, but there is none that 1 can see
at present"

MULAI HAFID'S HOLY WAR
Fanatical Leader Of Trbesmen Urges
That All Christians Be
Expelled.

Madrid, Oct. 3.-There is an absence
of news from the front since General
Marina, commander of the Spanish
forces at MeIuIa, opened the offensive
yesterday, but the recent resistance Of
the Moors and the Spanish losses have
convinced the government that the war
is not yet over. and that too much i'm
portance should not be attributed to the
capture of Mount Guruga.
The MOOTs are reported to be cOncen-
trated on the three mountains, Argain,
UXurgan and MilOn, which are almost
equally as dangerous Of access as Mount
GUruSa, and from which they must be
dislodSed, There are persistent reports
that Mulai Hafid is encouraging a holy
war and urging the tribesmen to help
eXpel the Christians from the country.

AVIATORS FLY
AFTER SUNSET
CurtiSS Finds Wind Teacher
Gus and Does Not Stay
Long in Air.

New York, Oct. BIN a wind more
treacherous than an aeroDlaEe can well
Withstand, Glenn H. CurUiss started out
to fly from Governors island in New
York haTbOr just after sunset this even
ing. At sea level it appeared that there
had become q lull in the strong wind,
but when the aviator got into the air
he found the breeze still fitfUl, and aft
er a minute aIoft. during which the
aerOplane was tilted at dangerous an
giles, he came safely to the ground.
Wilbur Wright, whose contract re-
quires him to attempt flights when
weather conditions permit up to Oct.
g, did not appear on Governors island
today.
A hundred or more spectators saw
CuTtiss attempt his flight. The aero
plane sped along the ground for about
100 yards and then gracefully mounted
into the air. 1t flew evenly as the avia-
tor kept it head-On to tine wind.
But when he turned his rudder to
describe d circle a puff of wind caught
the machine and tilted IT, Fighting it
quickly, Curtiss shut off his motor and
glided to earth.

he made an easy start TWO minutes aft

height officially estimated at $50 feet,
20 feet higher than RougieT's record

Confusion Reians.

The scene in ROslyn Immediately fol-
lowing the accident was one of wild con-
fusion Men, women and children rushed
from their homes at the sound of the
explosion and hurried 10 the mine. II
was not known how many wOrkmen
were working I'm the shaft and people
ran frantically about searching for rela-
tives in the crowd that gathered near
the burning shaft. 1t was fortunate
that the accident occurred on Sunday,
when only the pump men and lab0rers
making repairs in the mine were at
work
Had the explosion occurred on a work
ing day the list of fatalities might have
been as great as that of the disaster
of May 10, 1902, when ROslyn mine No.

Nearly 500 men are regularly employed
in mine No (.
The mine officials are unable to eX-
plain the cause Of the explosion.
