Test of instruments for Station to
Be Installed in Washington.


Reports to the Navy Department indi-
cate that experiments which have been in
progress at Brant Rock. Mass. with the
instruments needed for the new wireless
telegraph plant to be installed in the
neighborhood of Washington will soon be
concluded. AS soon as it is demonstrated
that the instruments required in the speci-
acations for the equipment of the new
plant can do the work expected Of them.
steps will be taken to begin the construc-
ton of the tower. which is to be 1000
feet high.
Owing to the objections to the use of the
Washington Monument, it was at first
proposed to erect the tower at Annapolis.
Later consideration was given to a site in
the Soldiers Home grounds at Washing
ton, but it is not certain that the War
Department has authority to allow the
use of any part of that reservation
1t has also been suggested that suit
able site might be ATTAINED in Rock Creek
Park

quite generally at previous censuses
Proper analysis and Interpretation Of
the census statistics will call for the en-
ployment of considerable number of sta

cradle proportion of the tabular and text
analysis and Interpretation of the statis-
ties and the previous cenSuSeS has been
committed to men of comparatively little
economic and statistical or business train

highly competent men. We hope to be
able to enlist the service, for periods
ranging from a few months to a year or
two. of a considerable number of expert
special agents to aid in the work of ana
lying and interpreting the returns. Hith-
erto the limit of salary for temporary ex-
pert service of this sort has been alto

OF this year Congress passed bill author

such as have formerly been employed for
that purpose, because of their inability
to give up, even temporarily, their regu-

such men as consulting experts, having

CATTLE RAIDERS

TWO PROMINENT MEN BRUTALlY
MURDERED IN BIG HORN
COUNTY, WYOMING.
COLD FLOODED CRIME
FIFTEEN MASKED RIDERS AssAs-
s,NArE THEIR HELPLESS
VICTIMS.

Basin, Wyo.-Big Horn county Is
Mortified over the most atroc.ous crime
ever committed within Its borders. and
one Of the most cowardly in the his
tory of Wyoming-the assassination Of
Alleman and Joseph Emge. prominent
sheepmen. and Joe Lazier. . herder. by
. gang Of fifteen raiders who de-
scended on the Emge camp on Spring
creek near Tensleep the night Of April
End. - ~
The Emges and Lazier were shot
down in cold blood and the bodies OF
Alleman and Lazier were subsequently
burned. s...-.s
Twenty-Five sheep were killed and
$500 hundred head stampeded over the
range. that they might fall easy VIC
tins to coyotes and wolves.
The raiders. to prevent the news OF
their crime becoming known imme-
diately cut the telephone wires lead
ing to Tensleep. Probably sickening
Of their bloody butchery. they spared
the lives Of two other herders who
were at the camp. and these men
brought the first news Of the tragedy
to Tensleep. from which place 1t was
telephoned to Basin. the following day.
after the severed wires had been re-
paired.
Immediately after receipt Of the
news. Sheriff Felix Aston. Deputy
Sheriff Ed Cusack and Prosecuting At
torney Percy Aston made the long
hard trip to the scene and took charge
Of the bodies. Six inches Of snow.
which had fallen after the murders.
had obliterated the trail Of the raiders.
When the raiders. fifteen in number.
all mounted. armed and masked, sud.
denly descended on the camp. Alleman
Emge and Laxier were lying down tn
= sheep wagon. Joe Emge was on the
ground about twenty feet away. and
the two other herders were in second
wagon across q gully from the main
camp.
Without warning the raiders poured
Q storm Of bullets into the wagon In
which were Alleman and Lazier and
into the body Of Joe Emge. All three
were killed instantly. ...
The raiders then assailed the second
wagon, but did not open fire on 1t. and
its two occupants were taken into Gus
tody. driven some distance and turned
loose with instructions to keep travel.
Ing. nor look behind. and not tell Of
what they had seen. These survivors
lost no time In carrying the alarm to
Tensleep.
After running off the herders whose
lives were spared. the raiders returned
to the camp. poured oil on the wagon
containing the bodies and set II afire.
Both corpses were burned to a crisp.
The body Of Joe EmEe sprawling in
the snow 30 close to the burning wa
Eon that Il WAS singed. was not moved.
Twenty-Five sneep were killed and the
remainder scattered.
Alleman Emge. owner Of the raided
camp. until recently was engaasd In
the cattle business. but sold out and
invested In sheep. II IL reported that
he was warned he could not run sheep
