CONSPIRACY CHARGE
 AGAINST RAILROADS

Washington, October 11.-A conspir- acy on the part of the railroads to de- prive western grain shippers of the advantages of cheap water transporta- ton and to drive the grain transporta- ton business from the Great Lakes Is charged in a petition filed today with the interstate commerce commission by the Chicago Board of Trade.
 The complaint Is directed against the Pennsylvania. the Baltimore and Ohio, the New York Central and "A other rail- road lines operating east of Chicago and other Lake Michigan and Lake Superior points.
 It is reported that "by reason of con- spiracy on the part of the defendant carriers substantially all means of all- rail through transportation from Chi cago to New York and other Atlantic seaboard and also all parallel and competing through lines transporta- ton via the lakes through Chicago and other lake points to Buffalo, and from Buffalo to New York and other At lantic points are owned and controlled by the defendant carrters."
 Recently the freight charges on grain received at Buffalo from the lakes--called exlake-were increased from Buffalo to Atlantic seaboard points, It is alleged in the petition that these rates are unjust; that they are discriminatory, because they are much higher.than the alirail proportion from Buffalo to eastern destinations, and they deprive the grain shippers on

BILLS OF LADING
 WILL BE SETTLED

New York, October 11.-A conference relative to cotton bills of lading was held this afternoon between Sir Edward H. Holden. managing director of the Lon don City ana Midland bank. and a num- Der of New York bankers who are in- terested in settling the dispute with for eign financial interests over guarantee ing such securities. No definite action was taken toward effecting settlement it was announced, but further conferences are to be held which may bring an agreement Hope of such an outcome Is strengthened by the statement of Sir Edward that he believed a satisfactory arrangement would be reached.
 At today's meeting, 1t Is understood, the New York bankers argued that the valid ation certificate plan proposed by Amer ican bankers, but rejected by foreign interests. Is really the best arrangement possible until better and more uniform state laws are enacted in this country No statement was obtainable, however, as to whether the foreign interests are pre- pared to modify the form of guarantee on demand.

RMENTER FOUND
 GUILTY OF MURDER

Louisville, Miss.,, October ll.--SWih- ton Permenter, 19 years old, was ad- judged guilty of murder in the hrst degree early tonight, jury sustain ing the charge that he mistreated ana clubbed to death Miss Jamie Sharp, the daughter of d prominent planter seV- eral months ago. The verdict fol- flowed deliberations in the jury room extending over four hours and came after the first ballot.
 Application for new trial will be made tomorrow, 1t Is announced, when the youth will be called for pronounce ment of sentence. Although apparent ly bordering on collapse when the ver- dict was returned, Permenter quickly regained his composure and tonight stoutly maintains his innocence.
 Because of the prominence of the parties to the trial and the especially brutal manner in which the young woman was killed, the case has at tracted unusual attention. During the hearing several thousand persons as sembled in Louisville from the sur rounding country and minor manifesta- tons of an adverse popular feeling were frequent. No serious demonstra- ton was attempted, however, and none is now loked for As a precautionary measure the court room was cleared before the verdict of the jury was an nounced tonight.

HEFLIN SPEAKS TO
 TUSKEGBE CROWD

Tuskegee, October 11.-(Special) )-Con- gressman J. Thomas Hefiin spoke to a large crowd at the courthouse here yes- terdaXs He said in part:
 The nominees of the May primary are the nominees of the democratic party in Alabama, and as such they are entitled to the support of every demo- crat in the state
 Hon. Emmet O'Neal is our nominee for governor He was nominated in a primary in which all democrats were entitled to participate, and certainly every man who did participate in that primary feels it to be his duty to vote for him, and you have given the white mans pledge that you would do so. The only wise course for any democrat to top to bottom, and then, if they make good officers and administer the affairs of the state wisely. all well and good. We will all rejoice; but if that adminis- tration is not satisfactory then there will be an opportunity to go to the democratic people of this state and tell them about it four years from now and they will do the right thing.
 We all know that the democratic nominee for governor will be elected by a large majority and that neither of the two candidates of the republican party has the slightest hope of getting elected. The real contest between these two republicans is to determine which one of them can make the best showing at the polls, and the one that polls the most votes will be hailed at the repub- l1can pig pen of patronage as the chief dispenser of truck for this state Scott has more republicans from principal back of him, but Thompson enjoys the close friendship of Booker Washington. and through Thompson Booker Washing ton controls republican politics in this state"

 At the Finish
 Colonel Roosevelt. with his most ex- pansive smile. arose and climbed out backwards. The colonel was cheered wildly and the guards had all they could do to keep the crowds from break- ing into the field and sweeping down upon him.
 Colonel Roosevelt's first act was to reach for Hoxsey's hand and shake 1t vigorously.
 Tt was great, first class: it was the finest experience I ever had" he said. T wish I could stay up for an hour, but I haven't the time this afternoon ? Did it feel scary?" he was asked. Not a bit, not a bit"
 What were your sensationsas'' "Oh, 1t was fine, I enjoyed every bit of it."
 Governor Hadley. with sigh of relief, stepped up to the colonel and piloted him field past the cheering crowd and started for St Louis.
 Walter Brookins and A. l.. Welch, the latter on an endurance run. followed the former Presidents partys-in the aero plane. while Alfred Leblanc, in his Bleriot monoplane. led the automobile procession.
 Exhibition of Brookins
 Brookins entertained the party by cut ting sharp turns at dizzy heights and giving a miniature exhibition of his famous spiral glide. Leblanc, in his little monoplane, darted back and forth across the colonel's path like a bee.
 On the trip to St. Louis Colonel Roose- welt stopped to make a speech at Clay ton, where a great crowd had collected at the court house. They cheered when he told them of his flight.
 From Clayton the colonel drove into St. Louis and went to the state fair grounds. where several thousand children were waiting to hear him speak.
 T have had a great time in st. Louis today" he said. Tt seems to me that it is a wideawake town. It is the only place that ever put me up in the air' And then he told the children of his flight.
 That is why am late In coming here to speak to you." he went on. T know you children would cheerfully play hockey for a week to go up In an aero- plane, so you won't blame me for being a little late'

SHORT OF HARVESTERS.
Not Enough Men to Take Care of the
Wheat.

Charles Harris, director of the state
free employment bureau, states that
the demand for harvest hands is as
heavy as ever. There seems to be no
limit to the number of hands required,
and every day he is in receipt of let
ters and kilograms from different
counties asking for from fifty to five
hundred hands Immediately. He is
still sending many hands out, but re-
ports that the supply nowhere equals
the demand.
The insistent demand from all ser
lions of the state at this time is caused
by the rapid development of the wheat
crop, caused by the extreme warm
weather of the past week or more,
causing harvesting to be in full blast
in all quarters of the state at one and
the same time.
AS a rule, the harvest rush should
be at least partially over in the south
ern tier of counties in Kansas before
it gets fully going in the northern part
of the state. This season, however, it
is in full blast in all parts of the state
right now.
The state is probably being better
supplied with hands today than ever
heretofore, yet. as above stated, the
demand exceeds the supply, and all
who apply for work are assured they
can find it at the office at the state
house.
