BANK VAULTS.
Precautions For the Purpose Of Foil

Precautions For the Purpose Of Foil
ing the cracksmen.
Many banks, especially those In
cities, have their vaults protected by
an elaborate system Of concealed
wires connected to a central Office not
so far away, so that the least tam
pering with the combination lock or
any attack upon the door or walls
will give the alarm at the central Of
fee. where men are waiting day and
night to run to the rescue. The exact
method and devices that are used are
kept rather secret, for fear the bur-
glars themselves might learn too much
about them, but it may be explained
that one part of the apparatus is an
extremely sensitive relay located at
the central Office. This delicate in
strument closes a local circuit which
sounds the alarm the moment there
is the slightest disturbance Of the hid
den wires at and near the vault, SO
that a gang of burglars could hardly
get to work with their drills and their
nitroglycerin before the officers OF the
law would be upon them.
In addition to protecting vaults and
safes from the direct attacks Of rob
bers, electricity affords another safe
guard by furnishing light which foods
the premises with its searching beams.
Indeed, many banks, stores and ware
houses rely mainly upon the electric
light. without which the thickest walls
and the strongest and most compli-
Gated locks would be useless. They
turn 1t on at night and leave their
window shutters wide open, so that
the interior may be in full view OF
the policeman or watchman passing
the windows all night. This makes it
practically impossible for lawbreakers
to work unseen.

BALLINGER KEEPS OUT.
Told by Taft to Keep Away From the
Conservation Congress.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 26.-The first
national conservation congress met in
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
auditorium today with delegates pres
ent from all parts of the United States
and Canada. The session was devoted
to speeches of welcome and an ad-

the Oregon conservation commission,

Resources"
Clifford Pinchot will be the principal
speaker tomorrow morning and will
preside at tomorrow afternoons seS-
sion.
Former Governor George c. Pardee
of California, who led the fight in the
Spokane irrigation congress against

fingers public land policy. will be the
principal speaker tomorrow afternoon.
Promoters of the congress express
the hope that the strife between the
followers of Chief Forester Pinchot
and Secretary Ballinger will not at
tract so much attention as to push
aside other important matters.
Secretary Ballinger, who is inspect
ing irrigation work in the Kittitas
country, a few hours ride from Seat
tie, is not likely to attend the con-
gress, according to reports today. His
friends say that he is avoiding per-
sonal controversy at the request of
the national administration.

Mr.. Harrimans personal physician. and
his associates and members of his fam

DR.. Ditman, whose practice is said to
be confined exclusively to the treat

to the Hartman estate and after
long interview with Mr.. Hartman, he
declined to make any statement for
the public. He referred all question ers

president and general counsel of the

Although it was an ideal day at Ar

MATHER IS BACK.
Says Tariff Bill Hasn't Changed Busi-

New York, Aug 26.-Robert Mather,
a Rock Island system director, and
chairman of the board of directors of

He said: ''The settlement of our

Plan to Cut a U. p. Melon Is Spoiled
by Hartman

New York, Aug. 26.-That Edward
III. Hartman returned from Europe
because he was fighting mad rather
than that the state of health de-
manded it, is the startling declaration
of some of his closest real friends in
the financial district. They de-
veloped the idea that while taking
the baths in Austria he learned of a
plot or conspiracy on the part of a
number of prominent f1nanciers, some
of them directors in the Union Pa
cific or Southern Pacific to "cut a
melon on their own account.

At first glance a conspiracy over

ACCUSES UNCLE SAM.
Speaker Says the Government Licenses
Sale of Unfit Food.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 26.-The federal
government was accused of licensing
the sale of tmedicated food fit only for
the sewer at the convention of the
national food and dairy departments
today.
DR.. Charles A. H. Reed of Cincinnati.
O., in attacking the famous Remsen
referee board of scientific experts, de-
clared that the board in urging the
government to allow the use of ben
zoate of soda as food preservative
had ignored the public welfare.
THAT recommendation to the depart
classes of people," asserted DR.. Reed.
These were the manufacturers Of BEN
Zoate of soda and the manufacturers
of food of such a character that cour ID
not be sold without being preserved by
the addition of a chemical. The public
received no benefit, but instead has it's
own government licensing food for it's
consumption, which had to be medl-
Gated and which otherwise would be fit
only for the sewer.
THE referee board experimental with
healthy young men at Chicago, New
York and New Haven, Conn. but all of
these young men were stuffed with
great quantities of food, while taking
the samples of benzoate and the re-
suits observed in them would not apply
to the average consumer"
DR.. Reeds remarks followed speeches
by members of the referee board.
A special committee appointed by the
association to Investigate the referee
board also reported adversely to its
findings.

that he intends also to include a car

the fact that the state wide fair is

The letter reads as follows:
''In offering this splendid list of prizes
our company is simply carrying out its

done to further the interests of thls
great breed of draft horses in particu-
lar and also for the benefit it will be
to the live stock industry of the great
state of KansaS-the state that feeds

I'VE can assure you that no larger,
or better list of prizes has been ever
before offered breeders of Percheron
horses. AS evidence of the recognition
we are giving this fair and exposition
would say that this is the same list as
is offered at the great International live
stock exposition at Chicago and the
Alaska Yukon-Pa exposition at
