Once com immunity gets the better

This is shown by the result in Or

districts, seeing the splendid roads In
the district which lies between them,
are stirring UP public sentiment for a
bond issue. The substantial farming
and business interests of the State, the
department is firmly convinced, are
more imbued with the spirit Of good
roads building than ever before
Contracts have been let for the con.
struction OF two miles OF road between

A DISASTROUS PRAIRIE FIRE
Fourteen Square Miles Northeast of Abilene, Kan, Swept by the
 6wirline Flames.

Abilene, Kan, Mar 25.--A swirl of flames swept over an area of fourteen square miles northeast of here and but for the activity of the farmers forming lines to protect their homes and property the destruction would have amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 Telephone calls were sent from house to house, and while parts of families hurried 10 the approaching line of fire with wagons of water, others collected their stock and drove them ahead of the flames to safety in tiled fields and sloughs.
 A spark from a passing train, it is believed, started the fire. The loss is estimated at $50,0O0
 High winds carried the flames through dry pastures and fields. Only eight dwellings in the district were saved. Orchards. fences, hay, alfalfa, seed grain. implements and many small animals were destroyed.
 The farmers are left without seed or feed for their stock. The losses are partly covered by insurance.

The ohfef of Staff oS Army Was Tsh ing Mrs. eIoeum Back to City After a Visit with Mrs. Bell--Gen. Bell VIII Recover.

Washington, Mar. 24.-Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, chief of stan of the army, was badly, but probably not dangerously injured, and Mrs. Herbert J. H}ocum, wife of Major Slocum of the Seventh Cavalry, was almost instantly killed in collision of Gen. Bells motor car with a trolley car on the Tenallytown road in the northwest outskirts of this city. Gen. Bell suf- fered one rib broken, 8 bad scalp wound and severe bruises. The chauf- feur was uninjured

 Mrs. Slocum was visiting her sister. Mrs. H. l.. Green, at the Wyoming aprtment house in this city, but yes terday went to Fort Myer 10 visit MT and Mrs. Bell. with whom she and her husband were on terms of intimate friendship. It was on the way back to the Wyoming that the collision oc- cured.
 The only occupants of the car were Gen Bell, Mrs Slocum and the chau- feur. The fast moving trolley car completely demolished the motor car. Mrs Slocum fell on her head It was seen that her condition was dangerous and she was placed aboard trolley car and taken to a hospital.

AFTER STEEL TRUST
THE FEDERATION OF LABOR FUR WISHES THE ATToRNEY-GEN-
 ERAL WITH EVIDENCE.
EXISTS IN VIOLATION OF LAW
Sworn Statements And Other oocu' ments Submitted to Mir. Wickersham in Support of the Charges That the Company is Restraining Trade.

Washington. Mar. 24.--Sworn state ments and other documentary eVl- dence intended to support the charges made against the United States Steel Corporation by the American Federa- tion of Labor were presented to Attor- ney General Wickersham. The evil dence follows the petition of the or ganization to President Taft, who re- ferred the whole matter 10 the attor- ney general.
 Aside from alleging that the steel corporation exists in restraint of com merce and trade, the federations chief complaint is that it employs conditions unsatisfactory to organized labor and has used various means to prevent labor organizers from work ing among it's employees
 Affidavits of organizers deposing that they have been ordered out of places where the corporation has mills are attached to the statement as exhibits Others declare the labor officers have been unable to hire halls in which to hold meetings. thay they have been intimidated by local police fin steel districts, all of which is charged to officers of the steel mills by the series of sworn statements.
 One instance is cited where 1t is alleged employees of steel mill at North Vandergrift, Pa, were ordered not to buy ice cream of man who had rented a hall to organizers, and the man was forced out of business. Other cases similar are alleged.
 Part of the argument is an effort to show that the steel corporation exists in violation of the Sherman law and certain provisions of the Wilson tariff act. The corporations ownership of coal and ore lands is said to be part of monopoly: it is charged with hay ing crushed competition or the Great Lakes and in some instances on the railways. It's acquisition of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron 6 Railroad company is condemned
 Many charges are brought against the corporations town of Gary, Ind where a monopoly of all necessaries of life is said to be complete and arbi trary prices are charged for every thing, the statement recies. State ments of organizers and others off sIals of the federation are attached to the charges.
