the senate $4,000. Extra pay allowed

$3.50, 900. Special employees engaged
in compiling information for congress

tariff were paid good salaries.
The government printing Office has

HEAVY TRAFFIC CERTAIN.
But a Car Shortage ls Feared by
Experts.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 10
Heavier business than has ever been
known in single year is looked for
by Chairman Knapp Of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission for
American railroads, during the pre-.
sent fiscal year.
The serious situation anticipated
not only by Judge Knapp but by 9TH
er officials of the commission and by
operating railroad mon generally Is
that there may be a shortage OF cars.
The corn prospects are considered SO
bright that the likelihood is that the
railroads and other transportation
companies may be taxed beyond their
capacity to handle the freight tina.

RAPIDS BEST SWIMMER.
He Makes Fatal Attempt to Swim
Niagara River.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Aug. TO-
August Sporer, the 10 year old boy
of this city, went to his death today
in the whirlpool rapids after a gall
liant battle with the waves between
the two lower bridges and the pool.
With three companions, Sporer
went for a swim in the river at the
former" Maid of The MIST landing.
He struck out at once for the middle
of the stream and then turned to-
ward the bridges. His companions
called to him to turn back for the
current Is very swift at that point,
but he kept on down stream and was
caught in the great sweep, the first
break from the smoother waters to
the rapids.
The boy struggled for a time
against the current but to no avail.
Then, realizing that he was beyond
human help and was to be carried
through the rapids, which took the
life of Captain Webb and which have
resisted every unaided human effort
to pass, he deliberately turned down
stream and began grim fight for
life. +
Not in all history of the river has
such brave effort been witnessed.
Although but frail boy, he went
into the rapids, swimming strongly,
and held his own until he struck q
giant wave which curls up opposite
the old battery elevator. Then. he
went under and for a second was
lost to the sight of the score Of per-
sons who stood on the lower arch
bridge. Again and again he dis
appeared only to re-appear each time
fighting desperately against the ter
rible current. Then. when. within
800 yards of the whirlpool, his
strength gave out and he sank and
was lost to view.

tions and much damage to the crops

homa.
Throughout the southwest the day

corded. Two prostrations resulted

Fort William, Ontario. The only
development IN the Canadian Pa
ciflc dock strike was the vigorous
steps taken BY the military under Col
onel Steele in disarming strikers.
The presence Of bayonets and the
sight Of men loading rifles with. ball
cartridges cowed the leaders. The mob
is threatening and more trouble Is
feared when $50 strikebreakers start
work. Those who resisted being dis.
armed were jailed.
The 300 soldiers patrolling the
streets in the dock district kept close
watch to avoid any outbreak, as It
was knewn that hundreds Of weapons
are hidden away by the foreigners on
strike.

I'VE don't anticipate any further in

We are ready to act under the Lee

These men quit work without notice
and without any effort to confer with
the company. We attribute this to the
Greek element. Of which there are
some 200 among the dock strikers. We
have 1000 men all together, the rest
being Hungarians and Italians.
Hire striISebreakers.
"The Greeks told them Monday that
they must quit work or they would
shoot Them" continued Mr.. Bury,
adding that they were going to hold
the company up. They did not make
any demand and they have not done so
yet. We are paying day laborers 1917
cents an hour and 81 cents for night
work. It was from this good pay that
they struck. I cannot say what we
will do, except that we don't propose
to have the traffic further interrupted
as we can bring in all the men we
want"
