With TheLegisIators

Exceptions were taken by Mayor
Bookwalter yesterday at indianapolis
to criticism pointing out the stand he
took against the high license liquor
bill before the legislature two years
ago and his recently utterances in ia
vor of the high license. He says he
was in favor of the high license bill
two years ago, until it was changed to
give the school city the greater part of
the fee, whereas the civil city had to
bear the cost of police protection.
Legislation designed to benefit the In
diana labor commission by insuring a
quicker and more certain means of as
pertaining where and when labor dis
turbances arise is suggested in the
sixtieth biennial report of the commits
sion, which has appeared. Under the
act creating the commission there is no
way provided for learning OF labor dis
turbances except through the newspa-
pers or private communication. It is
proposed to enact a law making it the
duty of a mayor of an Incorporated
town or the circuit judge Of county
to notify the commission when dis
turbances arise in order TO provide of
fetal basis for the work of the COM
mission.

II President Joshaua Strange, OF the
Farmers congress of Indiana, succeeds
in obtaining the legislation he desires,
the housewives of the state may cease
to worry about water in the coal oil, I"
for adulteration of material sold for
Illuminating or fuel purposes will be
an offense punishable by fine or i'm

Strange caused the bill to be introduced
in the legislature in 1907, but it came
up too late for action. He says there
is a demand on the part of the farm

dulteration of this sort.

An effort is being made to have the
republicans of the senate caucus on the
bill of Senator Mccullough. democrat,
for the amendment of the metropolitan
police law. Under the Mccullough
bill the power to appoint members OF
police boards in all the cities of the
state would be placed in the hands of
the mayor Of each city instead of in
the hands of the governor, as under
the present law. Such a bin was ad-
vocated by the democratic state plat
form and by Governor Marshall. in his
message to the legislature.
It is this fact that is causing the re-
publican senate leaders TO seek caucus
action on the bill. They say that since
the democrats have thus made it a
party measure. the republicans should
accept the challenge and oppose it.

THE GOULD DIVORCE CASE
NEARING THE END.

New York, June 23.-With fifteen
or more witnesses yet to ,be called in
the suit of Mrs. Katherine Clemmons
Gould for divorce from Howard Could
and $250,0O0 aliznony, there is little
prospect of finishing the case today.
Justice Bowling announced his inten-
tion of holding night session and in
sisted that all evidence except that of
Mrs. Gould be presented today.
The march of servants continued to-
day in an effort ito refute the evidence
given by the witnesses for Could. A
waiter at the ST. Regis hotel who said
he served Mrs. Gould for eight weeks.
got his dates mixed, and it was con-
ceded by both sides that Mrs. Gould
was in Europe then.
Edward Rousman, who said he was
a dressmaker, testified he was employ
ed by MRS. Osborne and had talked to
Mrs. Gould frequently about gowns
and never saw her intoxicated or act
ing in a manner except in that of the
most proper. Mrs. Osborne gave the
same evidence.
Mrs. Elisha, often guest of Mrs.
Gould, both on cruises and at Castle
Gould, declared she never saw the
plaintiff act other than in a proper
manner and never in a boisterous
manner.

SAW ELSIE
STRANGIED.

New York, June 23-The details Of
how Elsie Sigel met her death became
known today when the story of tha
third degree" examination of Chung
Sin at the hands of the detectives to-
| day, was told. Sin was examined for
thirty hours before he finally told of
the crime. He said he was occupying
the room next to that of Leon Ling
alias William Leon, when he heard a
scuffling. He peeped through the key
hole and saw the girl struggling with
Leon. Then to get a better view, he
flooked over the transom He saw Leon
stuffing handkerchief in the girls
mouth and then Miss Sigel lay still.
the Chinaman said. and Leon went to
closet and drew out trunk in which
he placed the body after tying a rope
about the neck.
Chung was tired with the long hours
of the third degree" when he made
these admissions. He stoutly denied
he had anything to do with the mat
ter. but said he stood and looked on
while the murder was being perpe-
trated. He said Leon called him after
the murder and he went to Icons
room but soon left. When he came a.
gain, Elsie was gone and he saw her
no more.
1t is the fourteenth day since the
murder occurred and the police are
still without a tangible clew 10 the
whereabouts of Leon Ling All they
know is that he was in the room when
the murder was committed on June
10. From that time all trace of him
has been lost, except the possibility
that he was in Washington on the IL
and II, but the detectives do not re-
gard the fact that telegram was
sent from there signed Elsie as con-
elusive that Leon was there too. The
police believe Leon has gone to the
west coast to take a boat for China
but it also believed he may still ibe in
New York. Leon belonged to at least
one powerful Chinese society and he
would have no trouble in getting
funds and escaping. The news that
something had happened to Elsie ST.
gel was whispered about the Chinese
quarter for days before the discovery
of the murder but no Chinese We're
found who would tell what they knew
of the. murder. District attorney Jer-
ONE believes Leon may be in hiding

LUMBER
RATE $3.50

Washington, June 23.-Without a
single speech the senate today began
voting on the lumber schedule as soon
as a quorum was secured. Whether
due to the hot weather or exhaustion
of the orators or to other causes, the
change was accepted as a good omen
by those anxious to crowd the tariff
bill to final action and have the ses-
sion come to an end.
The first vote was on an amend
ment iby McCunIber, of North Dakota.
proposing a dollar rate per hundred
on sawed lumber, instead of the rate
decided upon by the finance commit
tee of $3.50 per thousand. The COM
7nfttee was sustained by the vote of
a to "a.
From the beginning there has been
decided contest over lumber rates
as the Northwestern members are
lighting for free humber. In the house
the reformers succeeded in cutting
the Dingley rate OF two dollars to one
dollar. They conflnued the fight in
the senate but finding themselves un-
able TO get free humber were willing
to accept the dollar rate. The senti-
nent for a high rate was stiff, howev-
er, so that twenty y4ive- per cent. re-
duction was all that could be obtain
ed, and it Is now believed the protec-
ZIONIST sentiment is so high that the
rate will not be changed in conference.
i President pro tenn, Frye, was In the
chair when quorum was announced
and MeCsimber presented the amend
ment, but as none showed desire to
talk, he immedfately presented the
question.
The senate adopted the finance com
mfttee's schedule on humber by vote
of so to 2S.
MeCumIber urged q reduction on
planed lumber on the plea that It is
just as cheap to plane three sides as
one side, whereuPon Aldrich read q

The frosts here this year during
April were about as severe as we are
likely to get. On April 9th, the tenn

to 80 degrees between $3.50 a. m. and

degrees to 80 degrees between 4:30 a.
m. and $50 a. IN. And on May 1st,
from 291a degrees to so degrees from
$50 a. m. to $50 a. IN. These frosts
were sufficient to do considerable dam
age to the apples.
A fair estimate seems to show about
SO per cent Of a crop in the Valley.
Where we used the Troutman pots on
three of the nights mentioned, we
have FULL CROP of apples.
While the initial cose of installing
pots for the full acreage of our or

that Smudging pays.

Investigating several makes we bought
about 5000 TroutEnan oil pots, patent
ed by p. II. Troutman, of Canon City,
Colorado, and manufactured in Chica-
go. Mr.. Troutran's business address
is 7O3 Swyes Building, Denver, Colo
RADIO. These pots are made of sheet
iron and will hold five quarts of crude
oil. There is an air chamber beneath
the floor and a fiue up through the
center of the reservoir, thus causing
a draft and aiding combustion when
the surface of the oil is lighted. The
more complete the combustion, the
greater the heat for the amount of Oil
used and the less the residue after
burning out. A cover Is provided
with each pot, to cover the oil when
not in use.
We found the pots very satisfactory.
These pots including cover. will cost
about $1,000 per hundred in Roswell.
Mr.. Troutanan writes that he is per-
fectihg reservoir heater, one that
will have a large capacity and that
will burn through the danger period

amount of labor. While such a pot
would be advantageous for large or
chariists, the cheaper one is doubt
less sufficient for most owners of Or
chards in this district.

MANY DIE
IN A MINE

Wehrum, Pa, June 23.-As the re-
suit of an explosion in mine No. of
the Lacl1awanna Coal and Coke Co.,
three miners are known to be dead
and six fatally injured, twenty-five SER
iously injured, while it is feared six
tyfive men are believed to be still in
the mine may be burned to death.
The mine is burning fiercely in sever
al places and the deadly black damp
is pouring from tn mouth of the mine.
This is preventing the relief work.
Many tanks of oxygen have been ord
cred from other places. What caused
the explosion is not known but 1t WAS
probably due to an accumulation of
gas.
The scenes about the mine this af-
ternoon are affecting. Friends of the
victims are weeping and greatly re-
tarding the work of rescue.
Pittsburg, Pa, June 23.-A terrific
explosion occurred at eight O'Clock
this morning in mine of THE Lacka-
wanna Coal and Coke Company at
Wehrum, Indiana county, Pa. fifty
miles east of this city. AT ten O'Clock
IT is believed a large number of men
have been killed and injured. More
d
have entered the mine shortly before
the catastrophe and only a few of
these have reached the surface. The
few men who escaped are burned and
blackened.
None of the men who escaped are
in condition to give details but it was
learned that the explosion seemed to
strike every portion of the mine SIM
ultaneously The rescuing parties are
making but little headway, owing to
the great confusion. The work is also
retarded by smoke from the pit mouth
and traces of the deadly after damp.
AT ten O'Clock three bodies, terri
bly, mutilated, had been recovered, and
ten men, badly injured, were brought
to the surface. Between 100 and $50
men remain in the mine.
The man saved said there seemed
to Ibe a fash and then all was dark
ness. Calls and groans We're heard on
every side. Those standing rushed ov-
er the bodies of the fallen to save
themselves.
As soon as the accident occurred
the women of the little mining hamlet
rushed to the mouth of the mine and
stood wringing their hands and weep
ing in an agony of fear.
