RIDE INTO A POND

South Norwalk. Conn, April 20
Plato, an auto dog owned by DR..
Frank Chase, released the brake on the
big automobile at the top of
twestport Hill. The high power car zig
gagged at full speed down the street,
knocking people and teams his way
land that and taking wheels off car7
triages, flashed through the fence OF
st. Paurs church and landed in a pond
Fin the real Of the building.
: Plato, a beautiful collie, sat on the
front seat, his nose up and his eyes
half closed, seemingly too proud to be
concerned. Even after the machine
landed in the pond Plato kept his seat.
1t took six teams of horses to pull the
automobile out Of the mud. The ma
chine was not damaged seriously.

Chicago, April 17.-Wheat bulls re-,
eeived a setback today on the board OF;
trade when prices toppled precipitately.r
July tumbled an extreme Az cents, May
~ cents and September 3A cents.
Patten bought ~furiously all along the
line and the closing showed a reaction
averaging something over a cent.
The market was nervous all day.
Prices here, however, with the excep-i
ton Of September, held UP until near
lished new high records, thus main
taining their record Of having risen
consistently to a new high level EACH
trading day for a fortnight. May, on
a very nervous market, rose to S1.29A,
and July to $1.1SB. September led the
break, for after selling at s1.OsM the
bear forces made a terrific smash at
the price and forced 1T bac to S1.06A
@1.06as. May dropped to s1.26 at one
cent a time, and July receded to $1.14h.
"Buy!" Shouts Patten.
Out into the corridors of the West
ern Union building, wherein are stu
nted the offices of James A. Patten, the
leading bull trader, the sound Of a high
pitched voice calling into a telephone
could be heard. Buy a hundred July;
buy 200 May. Take a thousand" and
SO on. In the vernacular Of the trade
hundreds" mean hundreds of thous-
ands. A small crowd hearing the voice
gathered. "Patten's supporting 1t. He's
trying to check the slump" ran the
comment.
Over in the turbulent exchange pit
the high voice at the telephone was re-
fected. Prices halted-stopped-and
Their rebounded. But the loss was any
thing but completely recovered despite
the voice crying Buy, buy, buy"
May at the close sold at s1.27h@
1.27A: July at S1.15B @1.15A, and Sep
tember at s1.06A. These prices showed
a net loss from last night Of 1@1hc

CUDAHYS INDICTED FOR
DEFRAUDlNG GOVERNMENT

Topeka, Kan, April Establishments
were returned here today by the fed
eral grand jury against the cudahy
Packing company, of Kansas City,
kan, IN 1877 counts for defrauding the.
government out Of $50, 900 by violations
OF the internal evenue laws.
The maximum fine on each OF the 1877
counts is 81 600. The revenue law BRO
vides that each pound Of uncolored
pleomargarine must bear q revenue
stamp Of q quarter Of a cent, but that
each pound to which coloring matter
has been added to give 1t the appear
ance of butter. a 10-cent revenue stamp
must be attached. 1t is charged in the
indictments that the Cudahy company
has sold the colored product under the
quarter of a cent tax, and consequently
has defrauded the government out of
large sums.
Work Of Months.
Inspectors have keen working on the
case several months and have secured
samples sold in towns and cities from
New York to Seattle. and from Duluth
to Jacksonville. These were forwarded
to the government chemist, who re-
}oring matter ana this evidence was
turned over to District Attorney H. J..
Bone, at Topeka, who submitted the
facts to the grand jury.
Every sample now in the hands Of the
government experts bears the identih-
cation mark of the inspector who pur-
chased 1t as well as the analysis which
shows that it contains coloring mat
ter.
It Is claimed by the government off,
Gals that the Cudahy company has
succeeded In monopolizing the oleo-
margarine market by selling the colored
product and paying thestax on basis of
uncolorcd, there being q difference of
r9A cents per pound. BY this means,
1t is claimed they were enabled to UNI
dersell other manufacturers and control
the market.
; District Attorney Bone declared today
that in addition to the criminal action,
he would bring a civil action against
the company to have the plant and
machinery used in the manufacture of
Oleomargaine confscated.

CEYSER HURlS
WORKER TO DEATH
FROM new BRIDGE
Unusual Accident on New York.
Span Delays Commissioners
First Trip.

New York, April I7.-Death can devise a
new trick any day to get the man who
works aloft boiling steel beams together
into bridges. The latest novelty in killing
10 to hurl the man upward on q column OF
compressed air, hold him In poise for an
instant and then cast him down to h
stones 100 feet below. Tho victim was
John McShane. employed on the Manhats
tan bridge.
This happened Just before noon. when
McShane was about to lay aside his pneu-
matte riveting hammer to eat his dinner.
AS q result the hundred men on the bridge
knocked off for the rest OF the day To
give their nerves a chance to recover
Because OF this lost half day the work
Of completing the span between the
Brooklyn anchorage and east tower was
acial trip over the structure. which had
been planned for today, has been post
poned.
The compressed air, which exerts q
pressure OF 240 pounds to the square inch,,
Is carried up to the bridge in two steel
attached wire-wound hose. strong but
flexible, 30 that they may be carried wher-
ever they are needed to feed the pressure
Into the hand tools used by the men. The
coupling between pipe and hose Is OF brass.
Poised In Air.
McShane vas standing almost over It.
He saw the long hose writhe as the air
began to leak elsewhere and then heard a
short, horrible hiss. But 1t wasn't warn
ing. for there wasn't time for one. In an
other instant the man was lifted ten feet
above the bridge and held there. unhurt,
by the invisible column as rigidly as IL
1t had been of steel.
He was face down in the air, fran
tically working his arms and legs, as a
man learning to swim. He was as though
impaled by that three-inch rod of air
which had hit him Just above his middle,
where 1t balanced him 80 nicely that he
could not wriggle off OF II.
Then, before 1t had spent its force, the
column swerved far enough from the per-
pendicular to carry McShane just beyond
the edge OF the bridge, where 1t slid him
off into space.
In his descent the man struck first an
iron girder, from which he bounded up
ward six feet. Then he hit an inch plank
OF oak leaning against a derrick near the
on a heap OF crushed stone in front of the
office Of Terry & Tenth. the contractors
by whom he was employed, beneath the
Brooklyn end Of the bridge.
He was alive when he reached the
ground, for fellow workmen who ran to
him saw his lips move and his arrSs and
legs contract. But he was dead long be-
tore an ambulance got there. John
Swttzer, a foreman, had a narrow escape.
He was knocked over by the stream OF es-
Gaping air, but caught a beam and saved
himself.
